Hahahahaha I hope you don't think I'm actually going to interrogate you, even though it would be fitting to my character post-my vote off. I hope you do realise Natalie that I was playing a certain character...people like Ashley and maybe Russell would know that that is not me. I think I said it a few times in the jury thread that I was playing a character. I know that I was pretty much inactive this entire season, so the only way I could've possibly made a mark on this season was to become a villain. I'm sorry if you're feelings were hurt in any way. Of course you're allowed to make alliances and break them. Hell this wouldn't be survivor if people didn't do that. Russell I'm a little ticked off that you and I weren't as close as I thought we were, just based on our relationship from the game we had together. You silly guy, you were the only person I was fully aligned to, I would've gone to the f2 with you had you let me, how could you not trust me? But I guess I can kind of understand why you didn't want to be seen with me, what with my inactiveness. Anyway, Natalie, Russell, I'd like for you to both answer the following questions. NATALIE:- Let's say that you're perfect combination of people got down to the wire. So you, Mick, Ashley, Marissa, Kelly, Laura. Now there's around a million alliances and sub-alliances in this tiny group of 6, am I right? I think from what I gather, the one person you were most loyal to was Mick. Now, not taking into account that he quit, so your feelings on him before he quit, who would you have chosen to vote off that night? Would you have sided with Ashley and Marissa or Laura and Kelly? I think you said somewhere that you wanted to stay aligned to your originals, Ash and Mariss, but you have to also take into consideration that Ashley had the idol (and was an apparent jury threat, your words), and that Kelly (I do love ya ) didn't really pose much of a threat. So honestly, who would you choose? By the way, who do you like/gravitate more towards on a personal basis? Ash/Mar or Lau/Kel? RUSSELLWhy do you think I should give you my vote over Natalie? TO BOTH:I want you to rank the jury members from first till last, with a reasonable explanation. The twist to this is, I want you to also put your opponent in the ranking. So Natalie, whether you want to rank Russell as number 1 ahead of all the jurors out of respect, or if you want to rank him below your ''jury threat'' Ashley, is completely up to you, but just include him and be honest. Okay, get to answering dudes!!

Why do you think I should give you my vote over Natalie?
I feel like I've earned my vote over Nat. In that I got here being venerable at most of the tribal councils. I didn't win immunity every since week to have to save my ass, I didn't have any immunity idols. I had to use my social skills to make alliances that would take me through to the finals. Also I feel on a more personal level towards you. I did stay loyal to you through out this entire game. I did have my suspicions about at first but if I knew that I was the one you were actually going to stay loyal to I would have done everything in the power to have you in the final 2 with me. So if you are voting for who played best you should vote me. If your doing a more personal vote than you should vote for me. I want you to rank the jury members from first till last, with a reasonable explanation. The twist to this is, I want you to also put your opponent in the ranking. So Natalie, whether you want to rank Russell as number 1 ahead of all the jurors out of respect, or if you want to rank him below your ''jury threat'' Ashley, is completely up to you, but just include him and be honest. 1. Ashley - She was a big challenge, social and jury threat. Yet she came so close to the end even though she was venerable every tribal except one. 2. Mick - A very strong player. Up until he quit I thought he would end up winning. However he did quit, I'm not sure why, but I figure it was either to save Nat or so he didn't have to backstab me again. Either way that is incredibly noble. 3. Marisa - She gave up what would have basically been a spot in the final 2. She was a strong player and if she got to the end she would have been a big threat as I feel she played a very strong game. 4. Natalie - Natalie was the strongest challenge threat I've even seen. She won almost all the immunity challenges and the one she didn't win she had an idol for. However the only reason she isn't higher is because she relied on the challenge to get her to the end. All the other people above were vonerable most of the time but had to use strategy to survive. 5. Laura - Laura was on the outs, as she was the last remaining Galu at final 6. And she went out of a tie-breaker challenge. If it weren't for that challenge who knows how far she could have gone? 6. Kelly - Kelly played a very social game. She was never afraid to speak her mind or give a quirky one liner. This made her more likable to some and enemies to others. 7. Jaison - You played a game social game and were very to Ashley, Marisa and Myself. This made you a strong played. 8. Betsy - A very smart player who was able to see what was going on in the game. 9. John - Like so many players in the game of survivor John could have gone far. However people saw this and identified him as a threat. I guess if he had of wound up on the right alliance he would have gone further in the game. 10. Brett - You weren't the strongest player of the game. But you did stand by your friend. And in the end some thing are more important than winning a game. Hope that helps you, Richo

Hahahahaha I hope you don't think I'm actually going to interrogate you, even though it would be fitting to my character post-my vote off. I hope you do realise Natalie that I was playing a certain character...people like Ashley and maybe Russell would know that that is not me. I think I said it a few times in the jury thread that I was playing a character. I know that I was pretty much inactive this entire season, so the only way I could've possibly made a mark on this season was to become a villain. I'm sorry if you're feelings were hurt in any way. Of course you're allowed to make alliances and break them. Hell this wouldn't be survivor if people didn't do that. I'm very relieved you were playing a character, because to me that came out of nowhere. I didn't know that but thanks and I'm sorry for my behavior at that Tribal Council as well. I had the perfect plan for a final 4, that I brought to Mick's attention. He and I would both bring someone we each wanted to final 4. I picked Kelly, and he picked Laura. [Originally Ashley, but he kept changing his mind lol] The plan was that at final 4, we could easily get our ally to vote for the other. For example, I would get Kelly to vote Laura and Mick would get Laura to vote Kelly - that way Mick and I were untouched. And I think it would of worked because Kelly's closest ally was myself, and Laura's closest ally was Mick. So my plan was to have Marisa and Ashley think I wanted the final 4 with them but the fact that I knew Ashley had an idol was risky. So I wold of tried to get Ashley out at final 6 and flush her idol. I even debated that if this happened, I would tell everyone to vote Kelly and I could give Kelly my idol to blindside. However - I knew it was way obvious Kelly was attached to me so I decided against that plan in the end if that 6 came to be.
I gravitated more to Laura and Kelly - because all they had was Mick and I. Whereas with Ashley and Marisa - they had spent a lot of time with other people on Galu. I knew that Laura/Kelly needed me and I needed them. So I definitely felt closer to both ladies, although I tried to keep talking to Marisa. I really liked Marisa and debated having her in my ideal final 4. However if the plan to flush Ashley's idol happened then Marisa would be mad at us anyways.
So basically - if the final 6 was myself, Mick, Kelly, Laura, Marisa and Ashley - I'd of likely gone for Ashley first. (It'd of been hard to convince Mick) The part where I mentioned I wanted to stick with Ashley/Marisa was when you wanted to vote them off at final 8/7. I wasn't ready to go against them yet. I felt like Myself, Mick, Ashley, and Marisa were the biggest threats in this game and that I'd have the votes with Kelly/Laura still there.
The fact that I had an idol let me relax, because I didn't use challenges to survive and I had a back up plan all along [Myself/Mick/Kelly/Laura].
1. Ashley- I noticed her being the biggest threat VERY early on in the game, so I wanted to stay tight with her. [Giving her tokens for an idol] I figured she'd get them anyways. I've said it like twenty times, but she played a great and clean game. She was friends with a lot of people and those relationships made her go far into the game. I place her here because I do believe she was the tougher opponent to me, although they are both tough.
2. Marisa- She could of easily been in the final 2. In fact, I wanted to take her or Russell. So if Ashley went that Tribal Council and I won immunity - she had a great shot. She had a fantastic social game and it made people really want to stick with her. Her messages to me made me feel great about her after we swapped. When the game got low in numbers, it was then where she had to get deceitful. Obviously giving her idol to Ashley was a bad move for herself. THOUGH - It's a bit different than Erik in Micronesia, because she actually knew she'd go. I'd put her lower for that move - but truth be told, she could of easily been final 2 had she used it herself.
3. Mick- He would be much higher, perhaps at the top, if he decided to stay in the game The only reason I am putting him here is for quitting. He was friends with like everyone - he knew a lot of people from past games. I actually felt like I'd lose against him because he had so many previous friends. So if he stuck with me, we could of been in the final 2 [ with my wins, I would of taken him] and he'd have a lot of support for his social skills.
4. Russell- I felt like Russell started to play the game when we merged. I barely spoke with him pre-merge, I sent him like one pm which didn't get much conversation. I felt like he was a number to Marisa and Ashley at the swap. However when we merged he definitely came out of the that shell and started to get into game mode. He was trying to make deals and alliances for the end game. I do give him some kudos for surviving the tiebreaker and he gave a great fight against Laura. I rank him below the others because I felt they were the biggest power players in the game.
5. Laura- She was very nice and it was a reason why I never wanted to write her name down. The second I picked her we started to talk and hit it off. If she made it to the end she could of used.."I was the last Galu standing" and it could of got her Jury support. I know if I was in the jury I'd respect that. She nearly got there too.
6. Jaison- He has a very bad start but he turned it around for himself. If he didn't start messaging people, it's likely he would of left where Liz or Mike did. His recovery was key to surivivng and I was surprised at how far he made it because his name was brought up a lot. He nearly escaped the vote the round he left and if he did then he could of been in the end game.
7. Kelly- I think she is Samoa's biggest b!tch - and she loved it. I thought there was no chance in hell she'd have a shot at this game with the way she was treating people. Although a lot of people thought she was funny at times. She ranks here because she flopped to Foa Foa after being the minority and that was a good move of hers. It almost got her far into the game. And if she made it to the end she could say: "I was real and myself. A bitch who told it like I saw it. So give me the money $%$%$@#@$#$@"
8. Brett- As with John, there was little Brett could do. Once John was gone he had to have known he was next. I think he played a great social game but it didn't help keep him in. I respect that he tried to get close to some original Foa Foa's at the merge. It was worth a shot trying, which is why I place him here.
9. Betsy- She played very under the radar. She was, I believe, 90% loyal to original Foa Foa. However Mick told me that she had doubts in me which made me have doubts in her. I think she was the expendable person, so she was better off flipping. The alliance of myself, Mick, Ashley, and Marisa had her 5th.
10. John- There was absolutely nothing he could do to save himself, I felt. I think he had the potential to play a great game, but when you are the biggest threat of a minority at the merge...what are you gonna do? He would be much higher if it was Galu that dominated, for sure.
