Hey boys! Sorry for taking so long. I tried this thing called "being social", and I went out with these things called "friends". It was a new experience, but was fun. I may try it again sometime. Alright. Time for questions. Rcik and Papa Bear, you two gentleman are in the final 2. Wanda whispers something into Sophie's ear[/i] Wait, there's a third dude? Who the hell is Brandon!? *squints around the tc area* Oh, there you are, Brandon! Didn't notice you while you tried to hide behind your seat. BrandonBrandon, Brandon, Brandon. What are we going to do with you? My mom told me if I didn't have anything nice to say, don't say it all... but I'm going to be a rebel here. What I want to first say, however, is that I apologize for assuming you had flipped on me instead of Rcik. I didn't think Rick would do that so I assumed it was you. So... sorry. But, erm... speaking of which, then why the hell are you acting like you were a part of that plan all along? You mentioned at one point that you were staying loyal and you were angry I assumed that you had flipped, and elsewhere stated that Cochran and I had to go to further YOUR game. You never got me out. Rick did. Point being, I don't know what the hell you did this game. I generally don't mind UTR games, except when it's people like you who did absolutely nothing, ever. Sorry hon, you say that you played aggressive at merge- dafuq are you talking about. Questions: 1) What moves did you make? I want you to tell me one AGGRESSIVE move that you made in this game. (That was YOUR idea, that was led by you, and that could have made you a target). If there isn't one, then tell me how you actively played the UTR game instead of just floating along. Papa BearOh, P-bizzle... I gotta say, you disappoint me immensely. You come across as condescending, pretentious, and holier-than-thou, which are three attributes I absolutely hate. I'm not mad you voted me out, I couldn't give any less fucks. What I DO care about is your attitude. When you finally reentered the game, I think everyone was a little worried about you. We all thought the jury loved you, you had no blood on your hands, and you were a great underdog. You were the one to beat. When I messaged you saying "congrats, Papa Bear!" I was completely sincere with you about that. If I was being insincere, I would have lied to your face that we were going to final 3 or some other bullshit. Come to tc, when I know Cochran is targeting me, I see your post about how a certain female player told you straight up how you were a threat. You were totally making yourself seem like the victim and that I was this big ol' bitch who was being self-righteous and arrogant. Boo to you... I don't think martyring yourself was at all necessary. And this certain female player's name is Sophie. Then, here we are at the FTC, and I find out more and more about how much you didn't like me, how fake you thought I was, and that we had a distaste for each other. Lolwut? I had no idea that I didn't like you until you started talking about how I didn't like you. It was not cute at all, and boy, you really had it out for me- that was news to me. And if your definition of hoe is that they're loud, you've clearly never met a hoe. In summation: Gurl, you are faker than faux fur. I've been looking for the man/woman behind the Papa Bear, and he/she is buried pretty deep. Questions: 1) If you hadn't gotten here by winning challenges, what would your strategy have been to get to the final 3? (Provide detail). RcikCowboy Rcik... first let me say that I'm not mad you voted me out. I think it's hilarious that day 37 was when it finally clicked that you needed to make a big move, but yeah. Nice work! I had a big speech for you too, but I don't really want to use it anymore. Questions: 1) I also find cowboy's attractive. Please post more hot cowboy pictures. Thanks. My vote is completely up in the air. Sorry for being nasty, it's just what I do best and whoever can answer my questions the best WILL win my vote.GROUP QUESTIONS: 1) Am I a boy or a girl? (FOR BRANDON/PBEAR ONLY, SINCE RCIK KNOWS). I play as both genders in ORG's pretty equally, so it could be either one. Tell me why you came to the conclusion that you did. 2) If you could choose 5 all stars from this game, who would they be and why. 3) What move are you most ashamed of and why? 4) Are you guys willing to move on from this game and let go of what happened here? Will old grudges prevent new friendships? 5) Compare each juror to survivor winner. Best of luck to you all!

Before I answer these, let me first give my opinion on something.
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you were being sincere when you said "Congrats Papa Bear!" to me. I also have no doubt in my mind when you followed up that statement with a comparison of me to Ozzy because of my strength on Redemption Island, a forward statement that you probably would've preferred to see Stacey come back, and then an assertion that no one ever wants to have labeled on them that late in the game - "We all know you have this game in the bag." Literally within five minutes of talking to you upon being back in the game, I was already defending myself and trying to prove what a threat I wasn't. And while I appreciate the fact that you didn't lie to my face and tell me we were going to the final three or some other bullshit, I had other people in the game telling me that who weren't lying to my face.
I wasn't nor am I now trying to play a victim card. I'm just doing what makes the most sense to me. I had tried to strike up a bond with you (maybe more than any of your other original tribemates) before I was voted out the first time, so I obviously didn't exactly have the best taste in my mouth for three weeks on Redemption Island. So when I returned to the game and was greeted with a nice greeting followed by a barrage of assertions of how I was unbeatable, then I'm naturally going to go with my other alternatives of Rick who is wanting to strategize and work with me in the future and Cochran who I had been close to since literally day one.
I have never once said that I didn't like you in this final tribal council. I actually have a lot of respect for you. All I have said is that our games have never really coincided or overlapped, and I think that is fair to say. And when I called you a bigger hoe than Mikayla, I thought I was just answering with a goofy answer to a funny, light-hearted question. I'm sorry if that was offensive.
Now on to the questions...
1) If you hadn't gotten here by winning challenges, what would your strategy have been to get to the final 3? (Provide detail). One of the key parts to my strategy was going to involve making deep, meaningful relationships with people in the game. I know that sounds very simple, but I truly think it is something that can be of great value in this game. I remain forever grateful to Elyse and Cochran for taking a stand for me in the second round of this game, but I still think that at least a motive behind them doing that was because I had already contacted both of them previously and had already begun forming a strong bond with each. To me, communication is such a key in this game, and I had already had numerous conversations with each of them by the time that second tribal council rolled around. The same thing happened with Rick. Had we not spent so much time talking and getting to know each other in those last few days, I don't think we would have ended up with the friendship we do today nor do I think I would even be in the finals right now. It's important to people to have someone they can go to when they feel that urge to make a move. So, at the very core, a part of my strategy would have been to expand communication with people like you and Stacey and Mikayla.
Another key part of my strategy would have been to expound on my alliances. As I mentioned earlier in this final tribal council, I felt closest to Dawn and wanted to try to find any possible means I could to get her and me farther. I also wanted to continue the plans (at least for the time being) on my four person alliance with Cochran, Elyse, Dawn, and me. I had mentioned in my confessional that same round that I may have to be flexible and see if anyone from your tribe was willing to go after a threat like Elyse, given that she had been willing to do something heroic like go to Redemption Island to defend her tribe's honor and numbers. Through my eyes, her stock was increasingly rising at this time, so I knew that she might have to be a last resort option or something like that.
I also was planning on banking on a little bit of trickery and luck. We had previously discussed as a tribe the notion of using Dawn's idol to keep us all together and stronger, so I knew that could be something used to even out the numbers a little more. I also knew that if I was going to get too far in the game, it was going to have to involve doing well in some challenges. I knew I had previously had some success in that arena, so that was always lingering in my mind.
Finally, a part of my strategy was to know when to talk and when not to and to know who to say those certain things to and who not to. The round I was voted out, a huge fight blew up on the main board, and I deliberately kept my nose out of it. I wanted to be viewed as a middle man in Savaii for at least that first round after merge. I thought this would be an effective way of keeping my head off of the chopping block until I could form some stable connections with people from both original tribes. I had originally thought at merge that Coach was calling the shots on Upolu and Edna was someone who some people might be willing to vote for, so I was planning on exploiting those perceived cracks and seeing if I could strike up some sort of deal with Dawn and at least a couple others from your tribe.
1) Am I a boy or a girl? (FOR BRANDON/PBEAR ONLY, SINCE RCIK KNOWS). I play as both genders in ORG's pretty equally, so it could be either one. Tell me why you came to the conclusion that you did I have no idea. We never talked about this, so anything I provide will just be a guess. But I'm thinking that since you played the game as a girl but asked us this, then you are probably a guy. Otherwise, I cannot think of a reason why you would ask that.
2) If you could choose 5 all stars from this game, who would they be and why. Cochran - He was our All-American sort of player that would probably go over well in a season like All Stars. He has put the effort of an All Star into this season.
Stacey - I've said this a few times already, but I believe Stacey to be one our season's stronger players, and she made some really interesting, gutsy decisions throughout the game as well.
Elyse - Probably played one of the most consistently strong games of anyone in the game. She took no crap from people and made a strong showing for herself.
Edna - Like her or not, she made a big splash. She stirred the pot on multiple occasions and will be an unforgettable part of our season. She would make it as more of a villain than anything, but I still think she would make it.
Sophie - You played a great game and were never afraid to cut straight to the point and tell someone what you were thinking. I think you would likely make the cut as well.
3) What move are you most ashamed of and why? Oh this is an easy one for me! It's without a doubt that very last tribal council where I voted for Cochran. I would typically write about 2 or 3 sentences in my confessional along with my vote for tribal councils, but when the confessionals open up after the game, you'll be able to see just how taxing that decision was for me. At the time, I was weighing one option of going with the more admirable route and voting out the least deserving of the finals. Then, on the other hand, I felt compelled to actually make a move of some sort. Rick and I had grown quite close (plus he had immunity) so I knew it was a "now or never" kind of situation and decided to do something that my heart didn't really agree with. If I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't have done it the same.
4) Are you guys willing to move on from this game and let go of what happened here? Will old grudges prevent new friendships? Honestly, I probably won't be around for this question to even play itself out. I only signed up for this game, because I hadn't played on in a couple years, and I wanted to see if I still had "it". As soon as this game is over, I'll probably go back into retirement and focus on life for a little while. So, yeah, I will definitely be moving on either way.
5) Compare each juror to survivor winner.
Coach - J.T. Thomas - A good all around guy who did well for himself and his tribe in challenges.
Dawn - Tina Wesson - Tina was from not too far from my hometown and was someone I really liked. She played an honest game and used charisma to further herself.
Mikayla - Natalie White - She knew all the right people and knew which group to be a part of to get herself further in the game.
Edna - Sandra Diaz-Twine - A little bit fierce with a whole lot of attitude. Both Sandra and Edna were a handful on their seasons.
Whitney - Jud "Fabio" Birza - Perceived as weak or out of the loop, but he actually managed to do significantly better than what was expected and overcame a lot to get there.
Elyse - Parvati Shallow - She knew how to use her personality and strengths to further herself as far into the game as possible. She was one of the stronger and more memorable pieces to our season.
Stacey - Earl Cole - I've mentioned her overall abilities several times, and I think Earl is the one who most coincides with this from the pool of all previous winners.
Sophie - Kim Spradlin - An empowered female player who had specific visions for herself and others and used her overall strength to create the best possible future.
Cochran - Yul Kwon - Yul was one of the smartest, most well-rounded players in the game if you ask me.

Good answer- you pass. In terms of talking beyond the game question, that was more rhetorical than anything- I wanted to see if you would hold a grudge. I asked the gender question to see what you could infer about me- the answer will be kept quiet for now, though. either way, that answer turned my opinion around, so Brandon and Rick better bring it.

1) I also find cowboy's attractive. Please post more hot cowboy pictures. Thanks. I am Rcik, lord of the softcore. GROUP QUESTIONS: 1) Am I a boy or a girl? (FOR BRANDON/PBEAR ONLY, SINCE RCIK KNOWS). I play as both genders in ORG's pretty equally, so it could be either one. Tell me why you came to the conclusion that you did.(For your information, when we first spoke way back when, I could tell. You are very fitting to your gender.) 2) If you could choose 5 all stars from this game, who would they be and why. Naturally, I would be picking for Redemption factor (those whom deserve a second chance) Stacey - She was top dog until she got toppled. Sassy as heck. Pretty sure everyone in the audience would want to see her back. Cochran - Very loyal and fun to be around. Leaving at 4th is the hardest thing, to be right next to the end. Elyse - Very strong, smart, and likable, Elyse was one of the best players in the game. She was put in a tight spot by numbers, and a second chance would be just for her. Edna - Huge player of the season, even if she got on most of our nerves. Always on her feet, Edna constantly looked for ways to stir the pot. (Yee gods did it happen a lot. A few times in round 1 alone. @_@) aaaandd.... Dawn. A very likable person to be around, Dawn was taken out kind of early. But I figure the editors would love her and want to bring her back for a second shot. Papa Bear is an alternate, but only if he loses Finale. Rick is not All-star regardless. Sophie might have been on here, but she'd be busy already being an All-star once. 3) What move are you most ashamed of and why? Being antisocial at the merge. I should have spoken more to people, allies and enemies alike, at least a little bit to stay out of INV and into UTR... but I got pretty down and didn't do that. 4) Are you guys willing to move on from this game and let go of what happened here? Will old grudges prevent new friendships? It's a game. No matter what happens, I still got to meet a bunch of cool people whom I'd never be able to meet in the real world. But then again, I kinda drop off the map from time to time... so maybe it'll be hard to track me down after this? iunno. ._. 5) Compare each juror to survivor winner. goddamnit. I haven't watched half the series yet.

And that's okay. 1) Am I a boy or a girl?(For your information, when we first spoke way back when, I could tell. You are very fitting to your gender.) I kinda figured... I just want to see if Papa Bear and Brandon could guess from any attributes I showed. Either way... good job. I like the cowboys.
