The Rock's Question

Congrats to both of you for making it to the final 2. Like Tomas said you both played the game a little safe and I prefer risk. So my question to you both is name something risky you did in the game.

A lot of people have brought up the fact that I haven’t taken risks, but I think the fact that I stuck to my alliance for as long as I did was risky in itself. As the game progressed, MLP established herself as the strongest player in the game, but I stayed loyal to her all the way to the final immunity challenge. As I became friends with different people, the opportunity to eliminate her earlier was presented, but I stuck with my alliance. We took a risk early in voting out John and rearranging our tribal alliance to MLP, Adam, and Jeff and that was another power move that altered the rest of the game – luckily, for the better.

Actually there were a few risky moves that were made. I initially talked to MLP about the John vote & we weren't sure if we could get the votes. Luckily we found out that the votes were there & were able to vote out John.

In the karma challenge i suggested that my alliance load me with positive karma. Reason being that we knew that there was a chance of their being a tie at the next tribal. If that had happened & I was the one that got votes I would have went home because of previous votes. Will had heard that the other alliance was going to try & give MLP the immunity. So I posted for negative karma to not only offset the positive karma that we thought was being posted for MLP but also to ensure that she got the most negative karma.

I feel that one of the biggest moves I made was making an alliance with MLP at the first challenge. We then laid low for awhile to see who else we would like & decided on Adam & Will.

My biggest move was when we were at F5 & Mlp & i decided that we needed to get Will into an F3 deal so that we could control the vote for the rest of the game. I suggested to MLP that we both approach Will for an F2. I did but for some reason MLP didn't. This final move is what got me to F2 in the end because I was the only person that Will had made an F2 deal with. Therefore when it came time for him to decide who he wanted to take to the finals he picked me.

How was any of that risky?

I'm sorry Jeff, your a nice person, but that is BULL SHIT. You don't have a clue of what went on in the pre-merge portion of the game. The Alliance was Me/MLP/Will/John(To some extent), You, along with Adam, were just someone who got told how to vote. You didn't decide on Adam and Will, Will and MLP picked you and Adam after I decided not to be apart of it. You were nothing more than MLP's Lackey.

I was aligned with MLP from the first night. Also i initially came up with the idea of voting out John. If you were aligned with them then why didn't " the alliance " vote together ? The minute I suggested John i should have been the one voted out for suggesting that we vote out a member of your " Alliance". But that wasn't what happened was it ?

Lets let MLP say what was truly going on.


Will -

How was what you did risky ? You say you stuck with your alliance, that's not risky. Also you didn't stick with your alliance, you voted out John & turned your back on Lindsay.

If i hadn't posted the way I did in that challenge & was vulnerable I would have went home. How much more risk can you take than that.Even you thought it was a good idea, like I said if it back-fired i would have been gone.. that's risk.

Tellimg MLP to make an F2 with you was risky because if she approached you first then it could have came back & bit me in the ass. Luckily she didn't & you honored your F2 with me.

[Mikecrossword]

We voted out John because of his contact with the other tribe, and we weren't sure if we could trust him. There was definitely an alliance between me, Lindsay, MLP, and John early in the game. Why would we all lie about that?

[Jeff Probst]

That's fine, but you keep saying that your risky move was that you stayed loyal to your alliance, you didn't. You voted out John & then went after Lindsay.
