Laura's Totally Lame Question

[Laura Morett]

Congratulations Russell & Natalie on making it to the end!

Russell, first I gotta say I HATE people who have grammatical/spelling errors, and your opening statement was FULL of them . We talked some, but not a lot. I do admire how you busted your butt to beat me in the tie-breaker, and if I didn't have a real life, I might've beaten ya You showed intelligence, determination, and desire to make it to the end, and there you are!

Natalie, if it weren't for you and Mick, I probably would've been gone at the switch. You were a challenge threat, but also a personal threat. You had your head in the game the entire way, and, like Deena from Amazon (but better than she did it), you had a backup plan when your backup plan failed.

I got some questions for both of you.

Russell, what does the term "INDERVIDUAL" mean?

And now for the serious question for both of you:
I will give you nine "nice" adjectives:
kind, caring, considerate, humble, friendly, sweet, trustworthy, loyal, intelligent

And nine "negative" adjectives:
foolish, nutty, obnoxious, repulsive, thoughtless, envious, helpless, wishy washy, deceitful

Now I want you to assign a "nice" and "negative" adjective to each of the Jury members...WITH REASONING...and you can't assign the same adjective to two different jurors.

BONUS QUESTION...if you get this, I'll be VERY impressed!
What 3 Galu members was I originally aligned with?

Congratulations again!

Thanks Laura!

John-

Intelligent- He was a very smart player and I heard he was making some deals on Galu. I think something happened where he was elected captain, and after Yasmin left the fact that an original Galu became captain was surprising. He was a smart player and he needed to be taken out early.

Helpless- He had no power at the merge. He was completely helpless and there was very little he could do to save himself.


Brett-

Friendly- The second we got to the merge Brett started to contact the Foa Foa tribe. He introduced himself and was very friendly to us, and to me. So my first impression of him that he was a friendly person which is why I selected this for him.

Thoughtless- He did show a lack of careful thought. Because the Foa Foa tribe started to talk and all his pms were nearly identical. He accused us all of being these past players, so he didn't think over that carefully and in the end it got him.


Betsy-

Humble- Only in the game was she humble. She never brought attention to herself in the game [Only after she was voted out did she] But during the game she laid pretty low and did not ruffle any feathers.

Repulsive- The older lady, and repulsive is something you don't want to look at. So of all the people this is the one that made sense. [Even though I liked Betsy on the show] As for the person playing Betsy, she got really vile towards me in particular. There was like 5 other people aside me who voted her out and she singled out me in particular. So she came off offensive to me.

Kelly-

Loyal- Kelly was absolutely loyal to me. Her attitude towards other people in the game helped with that - because she had nowhere else to turn. I knew she'd look out for me [like informing me Russell brought up my name] like I did for her.

Foolish- The way she acted..there was no way she would stand a shot at this game. Ultimately it got her and she got votes at nearly every Tribal Council she was vulnerable at.

Jaison-

Caring- He cared about the game. He was upset at the betrayal I did to him. As far as caring goes, I say he cared a lot about the game and a few people. After he was voted out he rooted on Ashley/Marisa/Russell...which showed he cared for them.

Obnoxious- He couldn't leave the game gracefully. And to me personally, he was obnoxious [After he was voted out]. With the childish jokes directed at me about "sucking d!ck" and etc...it was just pointless.


Laura-

Sweet- She was the sweetest person in Galu. She was funny during Tribal Councils and a fun person to talk with. She wasn't mean, and she did not take the game as personally as others. To her it was just a game and nothing more.

Nutty- Her crazy comments at Tribal Council were nutty comments. Although I enjoyed them others could of perceived them as kookoo. ~Sweating in a church like a hooker with a flying monkey~


Mick-

Trustworthy- I could tell Mick almost anything. He was a very loyal ally and one of my best in the game. I did not ever hesitate that he would write my name down. I could depend on him at a lot of times.

Wishy Washy- He got weak at the end. It was very hard to get him to vote with me [to save my other allies] and he kept flipping back and forth. He started off very strong and in the end he got weak and ultimately quit.


Marisa-

Considerate- She gave up her idol to Ashley and in turn, was voted out of the game. I don't think it gets more considerate than that, lol. She definitely shined in that moment.

Deceitful- On the outside, she was very nice and friendly. However, she lied to me twice in the game, which makes her deceitful as well. She tried to lead me on to believe she voted Russell twice.

Ashley-

Kind- She was the most kind person on the original Foa Foa. She took time to make people signatures, which was very kind of her to do. She didn't make any enemies from what I can tell and overall, had a lot of friends because she was so nice.

Envious- I think there was some gap between us because I kept winning immunity. Even Jeff pointed out that we were "eachother's biggest rivals" While I don't agree with it, I think she wanted me out because she was envious I was winning the immunities - which prevented her from having a shot.



Bonus Question:
Monica, Yasmin, and Erik - is what I was told at the time of the Galu split.

[Russell Hantz]

Russell, what does the term "INDERVIDUAL" mean?
Opps sorry, my bad
I meant individual. As in John claimed he wasn't an individual challenge threat.



And now for the serious question for both of you:
I will give you nine "nice" adjectives:
kind, caring, considerate, humble, friendly, sweet, trustworthy, loyal, intelligent
And nine "negative" adjectives:
foolish, nutty, obnoxious, repulsive, thoughtless, envious, helpless, wishy washy, deceitful





John


Sweet - He was a very nice and polite yet funny person. As well as a big challenge threat.

Wishy Washy - At the tribal switch John switched sides and sided with Marisa, Ashley and Myself. This was totally a great strategy.


Brett

Loyal - So many people were loyal to me in this game. (Jaison, Ashley, Marisa ect.) But something that I really admire in a person is when they stay true to a friend. After John was gone Brett knew he was next. And even tho he wanted to stay he didn't throw his closest friend (John) under the bus to try and distance his self from him. I absolutely admire that and respect it in a person.

Foolish - Whilst I admire and respect that Brett went down with the burning ship. If he wanted to do better he should had distanced him self from John. So it was a foolish move in the game but a good morality move.


Betsy

Intellegent - Betsy was a very intelligent player who had a good grasp on what was happening in the game. This made her an EPIC threat.

Envious - I could tell Betsy wanted to stay in this game. She was playing HARD! And I think she would love to be up here in the top 2. Unfortunately she was seen as a threat for being smart enough to see through other people’s strategies and also being honest about it when she did.


Kelly

Considerate - I think Kelly was BY FAR the funniest and most amusing person to play this game against. I just like to talk to Kelly or hear what she had to say at a tribal as it was always humorous and made me lol. So whilst she may have come across as insensitive. She always had the consideration to keep us all laughing.

Obnoxious - Whilst she was really funny. Her jokes could come across as a little insensitive.


Jaison

Caring - I know Jaison from a previous game. In that previous game he was a host, and the season had like 1000 twists in it. This made me weary of him at first because I thought he might try and shack this game up by switching alliances or back-stabbing ect. just because it makes the game more fun. But as the game move further and further along I came to trust him. The pinnacle of this was at the double elimination when he left. Even when he knew he was going he didn't care about himself in the game. He just wanted one of his closest tribe mates to go on and win it.

Nutty - At that tribal after he went, he got into a MASSIVE argument with Nat and Kelly. This was Jaison venting his anger but I feel it needed to be said.



You, The Lauranator


Humble - I'm not sure if it was your strategy or your personality. But from the few talks we've had I always got the vibe from you that you are a very modest and humble person. Also when you left the game you were very gracious and didn't come across as bitter.

Thoughtless - The round you went you lost the challenge against me. Whilst I was lucky that the challenge was on a weekend I had nothing else planed and you were obviously busy. If you had have stuck in there only like 20 more posts the entire game would have been shock up. And you might be here in the final 2.


Mick

Trustworthy - It's ironic because the one time I thought my friend was lying and being deceitful to me. I was being un-loyal to him for thinking that. Yet he probably would have stayed true to me if I wasn't so paranoid that I thought my closest friend in the game was targeting me.

Repulsive - I find it hard to say something bad about Mick because everything bad he did I did 100 times worse. However from early on Mick had a final 2 deal with Nat, that I think he might have been honest about. I was planing to go to the end with Mick, until I thought he backstabbed me. So I guess repulsive is a HUGE over statement but Mick certainly was in a moral grey area, even though I was as well.


Marisa

Kind - For putting her friends before herself. In what can be and is usually a very cruel and cut-throat game.

Helpless - The round Marisa went she was the only one without immunity. Because she helped others she ended up sacrificing herself and left herself helpless in the end.


Ashley

Friendly - Ashley's game was a very social one. She had friends all over the place in this game. That made her a very strong player.

Deceitful - Wilst Ashley was loyal to me she had deals on the other side early in the merge.




BONUS QUESTION...if you get this, I'll be VERY impressed!What 3 Galu members was I originally aligned with?

[/size]

1. I am positive you were aligned with Monica.
2. I'm only about 70% sure the other was Yas.
3. And maybe Erik or Shambo?

I'm friends with the person who played Dave Bell. So he told me.

[Laura Morett]

lol it was Yas, Erik & Shambo.

So you both scored a 66% on that one

Great answers though, tough decision!
