For all those backstabbers out there who thought they were clever by aligning themselves with those two ...

"Every single person here knows what's going on in this challenge, so it's not even close to any sort of work for the audience or any of its participants. Before it started, there was no question who the final participants in the ring were going to be and who the first ones cast out were going to be. Just like how it's elementary math to figure out who is playing who in this game and who the final two will be. We can all pretend to the be hunters in this game at this point, but getting your bows and arrows ready for the prey is simply a way to fool ourselves here. No one's fooling anyone at this point, hunters ...

Just sayin'.

You had a smooth-as-silk route to the final 3 or 4 (with the potential for Finals) if you wanted it.

how about we wait until the final tribal before the smack talking starts?

Do we get to interview the contestants?

[Toates Madhackrviper]

We flippin better.

*as MGH and trista head to their final tribal council (and after setting the camp on fire, as is tradition) all of the past Survivor contestants torches come before them in their path to tribal*

Death by Pickles

I didn't have an opportunity to play with him, but anyone willing to play this game in the first place has some balls.
cool guy, i just wish he was more of a team player. i think the only time i saw him was when he signed up for the game lol


Square

I'll tell you what, if I win this game I'm taking that guy to Poland to hash all of this out.
dude was ruthless! definitely a fun guy to compete against

J

Same as before, I didn't get a chance to play with him unfortunately.
quiet guy, wish he spoke up more

Lodi

Funny dude. Really made life around camp fun.
seemed really cool, hopefully he'll do better if he plays again

Friskey

Seemed like a great team player. Really busted it for your guys' tribe in the challenges.
friskey was a target cause i thought he had the hidden idol lol. he made the challenges fun though

Space Ace

You were aligned with Ace at one point, weren't you?
i was! i think we're going to be saying that a lot...

Z

Another one of those guys from your tribe I saw busting it in the challenges. You had some hard workers over there.
probably one of the most understanding players in this game. great guy.

SNS

What can I say about SNS? I've loved playing with him both times we've been aligned. Just couldn't do it again this time. Not if I wanted to win. Wish him the best. Definitely buying him a drink when we get back from here.
biggest threat and the beginning of big moves for this game. he is a great guy and knows the deal

JM

Last casualty before the merge. Tough place to finish.
very true, but he seems to be enjoying finding ponderosa

Ritt

Glad he wasn't taken out as soon as the twist occurred and he was flipped. I think he's really under rated at the game.
if he plays again, i think he could take it. dude is smart and knows what's going on

Berg

Really enthusiastic about the game. Had as much fun with it as anyone I've played with. Had to pull the trigger when I did though.
berg just seemed too dangerous to deal with. wish i got to talk to him more, he seems like a good allie

Peg

Think he was the only one who saw the end game developing and saw this coming weeks ago. Kudos to him. Hell of an intelligent player.
very very very smart player. another guy that knows the deal if he plays again

Madhack

Knows this game inside and out. Just proved how fragile this game can be.
i only regret voting two people out of this game, and this is one of them. i think he got cut a little too early, but that's what happens what secrets are revealed. one of my favourite people to play against and align myself with

Alex

Love her to death. Maybe my favorite person I met over the course of the game.
I WANT HER IN MY POCKET AND CARRY HER EVERYWHERE WITH ME. what a friggin sweetheart, i just love her.

BB

Have to give him this - he was gritty and held on longer than I expected. Wanted this really bad.
he knew the deal and what he had to do to continue. good for him for sticking around for as long as he did

Spartan

Everything you could have asked for in an ally. The perfect team player.
he was the first guy to reply back to me about making an alliance, and he stuck around for this long. great mind, just came a bit too late in the game. so much love for him though

Yes you will.

[ritt works hard fo da chickens]

Do you want us to wait or may I begin? I have a few questions as I am undecided how I will vote.

I'll send you and the others a PM after I give my thoughts about the competition. Those will be in the next post.

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

Alright, I promised that I would share my thoughts. Here they are.

- First off, congratulations again to Trista and MGH. Trista I saw being in the final two. MGH proved to be a surprise of sorts.

- Jonathan Michaels was the biggest surprise as far as eliminations are concerned, as I thought that he was playing a fairly under-the-radar game, one that I felt was going to put him in the Finals with Trista. Bergman's elimination was also a huge shock. He clearly never saw it coming, and if he had, he obviously would have used the hidden immunity idol. SNS, as the previous winner, was another huge shock.

- BB and Street Spartan were also surprises, but in another way. They went a lot further than I thought they would. Kudos to them.

- Lodi, in my opinion, would have lasted a LOT longer had he not targeted SNS right off the bat.

- The worst challenge, in my opinion, was the theme song challenge, as that wound up being woefully one-sided.

- The best challenge.... Well, I can't really choose one.

- Serious thanks to those of you who encouraged me to keep going during a point where I was seriously thinking about quitting out of personal frustration.

- Finally, while it was an incredible experience to host this competition, I do have a strong desire to participate in the next one. I doubt I can really be very creative where challenges are concerned, and I can only recycle for so long.

- In conclusion, this has truly been an amazing ride for me, and hopefully you can say the same for yourselves as well.

[ritt works hard fo da chickens]

I would be willing to host a third one, if nobody else wants to.

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

All right, here are the instructions as PMed to all seven members of the jury:

I will randomly set up the order for each of you to have your turn to address the finalists, Trista and MGH. In turn, each of you will be able to ask up to four questions and further address the finalists. When you have finished, please indicate that you are finished so the next person may have their turn.

I also ask that you please refrain from voting until I give the orer to start voting.

The order that you will be adressing and/or questioning the finalists are:

1. Street Spartan
2. Bergman
3. pegasuswarrior
4. unoriginalalex
5. ritt
6. Brainbustaaah!
7. Madhack

STREET SPARTAN, YOU'RE UP FIRST.

*sighs and weeps*

happy birthday to me

[Toates Madhackrviper]

Oh no opening statements? That's usually part of the process or did they post some already?

Anyway ugh last

[MGH]

Actually I was wondering about opening statements as well. If no one is opposed, I'm going to post one before we get to answering the questions.

[Triple H buried SnS]

Could do closing statements instead.

... just a thought.

[unoriginalalex]

go for it.

[MGH]

*looks over to the jury*

Hey guys.

A year ago I was sitting in this same exact seat, actually, looking over at seven of my fellow players amazed that I was at the end of this crazy game. Now a year later I'm back, and I have to say this one means a lot more to me than the first because it was so unexpected at the beginning. I thought I was going to be toast right from the jump. My reputation from the first game was what it was, everyone was aware of it, and I was hard pressed to see the path that could get me back to these two seats arguing my case for a million dollars. Suddenly a couple of doors opened for me, I got my foot in them, and the rest is history. I don't want to be long winded with this so I'll get to the details of those doors and what not over the course of the questioning tonight, if you'll allow me.

I know the way I play rubs some people the wrong way. I know a couple of you sitting over there right now were victims of it. All I ask is that you keep an open mind and hear me out as to why I made some of the choices I made. If at the end of all that you still think I'm not worthy of a win in this game, then so be it. All I ask you for is a real chance. If you believe that in 39 days I haven't been honest with you once, you can rest assured that the truth is going to come out tonight. Thank you.

[Shy Guy]

hey everyone!

soooo, much like MGH, this was my second time playing and i felt a huge target on my back the moment the tribes were announced. i think MGH got lucky because the last time we played, our alliance was me, him, SNS and ritt, and he got to have SNS and ritt on his tribe from the get go. so their alliance from the last game was already built, whereas i had to start from scratch. it was very nerve wrecking especially going into the first tribal council because it was so easy to vote off the first person. you probably didn't talk to them much, if at all, and there are feeling attachments at the first tribal.

but what ended up happening, so that i got a good group of six people who helped me up until the merge, and then at the merge, we got another core group of six. this is probably where feelings were hurt the most, but i don't think that what i did was different than what anyone would have done if they were in my situation.

i hope everyone can push feelings aside for the duration of this tribal and just hear us talk. any bad judgment you had towards me i'm hoping will change, because again, i just did what i thought was right, and what would get me this far.

thanks
