Chris' Candid Corner

[Jason [Rafe]]

Hello Ladies.

First of all you all look like trainwrecks. Get to a mirror and a spa STAT!

Anyway, this is a tough decision for this lady to make. Though not really. Whenever I am a jury I like to take integrity into account, as I think its important to try and strive for that in these games. I know its not always possible, but major points to those that have it. I feel like two of you displayed decent integrity...to me anyway.

On with the questioning...

KESHA
I refuse to use the dollar sign, because you are going to be broke soon enough. I just want to point out that never being available, not responding to PMs and IMs and pretty much desperately making an alliance with anyone with a pulse - is not a strategy. It might pass for one here, in this game, but in general it's bullshit that you are hiding behind. You are in the finals because you lucked out on two challenges, and because Carrie and Julie were smart to not vote you out because you played the laziest game in Survivor. Also, to take credit for anything in this game is laughable. The fact that you thought you were steering anything borders on insanity. I will be blunt here, there is no way in hell you are getting my vote, so I don't even want to waste my time asking you a question or hearing from you. You can feel free to comment. It won't change anything though. Ta.

JULIE
My little paper moon. SO. You and I never talked the entire game. I did make a last second plea to you, but you were honest with me. I appreciate that greatly. I must ask...why didn't you reach out to me at all? I know its a two way street, but I am wondering why you never thought to work with me? Or did you? That's all.

CARRIE
I knew you'd be here. I called it very early on. You didn't disappoint. I like your style. You weren't a bitch, you were straightforward, and you knew you had to get rid of me. Though, I wish you and I had worked together with AJ - we would have been unstoppable quite frankly. My question is: did it ever cross your mind to solidify an alliance with me and AJ? AJ and I were aligned, and it seemed logical that you would be with us, but you seemed resistant to it. Why do you think we went seperate ways? IF you had to do it over again would you do it the same way, or would you try and team up with AJ and I? You are fabulous, and good luck to you.

ALL (though Kesha this would just be for fun for you)

Rank the jurors in the order of who you would want to align with in future games.


Closing Remark:
Julie and Carrie the vote is up for grabs for one of you. I think you both played decent, honorable games as far as I was concerned. I am bummed that I worked so hard and am sitting in fifth, but I get it. Not bitter toward you two at all. Kesha, stop writing checks you can't cash.

Thank you. I'm off to a sale at Nordstroms.
Peace bitches.

Don't even try that integrity bull shit with me. You and softball cheated on that one challenge you won, SHE TOLD ME. You voted for Crazy James way back in arabia after he did the same thing to you but worse because there was a player missing from the live round.

I don't want a vote from an envious hypocrite anyway. Sure, you played this game better than most but you still placed 5th.

[Jason [Rafe]]

How exactly did I cheat? Searching through what was unlocked on the board was not cheating. And how is it that you got the same score?

What are you talking about with James?

Look I am talking about this game. I don't like the way you played THIS game. I never said anything about you in general or in OTHER games. You came to me for a F3 alliance and I said yes. There was no reason to turn on me other than you just got greedy and wanted me out of the way so you could win. Its fine I just didn't care for it in THIS game.

Feel free to drag old games from years ago into it though. That'll help.

I always kept it in the back of my mind, that I MIGHT want to flip over and do the "Coba alliance" but I was told almost every week by at least someone (usually always someone different) that you said "AJ and Carrie need to be broken up, so lets vote them out next" and I didnt believe it at first, but after a while of hearing it from several different people, I believed it more and more and then eventually it just got to the point, where AJ was a previous winner and you had won several comps and were very well liked (I mean if the roles were reversed, I would have given you my vote because of your gameplay and comp wins) so going to 3 with you too would have been really bad for me......so no I probably wouldnt do it differently if I had to do it again, because had I have aligned with you/AJ and gotten really close I would have felt more obligated to not vote one of you out, and that just wouldnt have worked. But I certainly considered doing that all the way up til about final 5 or 6 maybe?

Rank the jurors in the order of who you would want to align with in future games.
Since I never talked to David/Mariah I dont really know where to put them.
1. AJ- AJ is very loyal and is pretty straight up
2. Chris- I honestly think that if I were aligned with you, that you would have been honest and a great ally. But your very dangerous if your not on my side
3. Jacob- Jacob seems to be loyal to his allies and overall an openminded and honest/loyal player
4. Kiefer- While he and I butted heads here, he really went to bat for his ally Jacob and even after he left didnt try to flip it and suck up to people and leave his allies, when they became the minority, he just stayed with his people.
5. Tom- Tom was hard for me to read, I never could get very personal with him in the game. So I dont know who he was allied with or if he was loyal to them, I really dont know
6. Kelli- Just a little too UTR, she is a good vote, but not much beyond that. She cant really help save you in a tough spot
7. Nick- Nick is a nice guy as a person, but after lying for no reason about the idol and also just overall making lots of deals with lots of people, just isnt very trustworthy, and I dont align with people I dont trust

Thanks Carrie.

[Softball--Kevin Garnett]

It is not cheating. We all had the option to do it. It is not our fault that nobody else figured it out. The threads were unlocked.

[Carrie Underwood (someome)]

Chris, I saw your comment on Davids thread about 'why did Carrie think I was after her" So I tried to just include that over here, but I did read it over there. Do you want me to post a more in depth reasoning over there?

[Jason [Rafe]]

No Carrie. I'm happy with your answers. Thanks.

[Julie Chen [streetlightrox]]

Why I Never Considered an Alliance With You

I never exactly knew where you were in the game. The one time we did talk before Kiefer's boot, you claimed to have no idea what was going on, and I didn't believe you. I thought that you were being sneaky, because I heard from Nick and Carrie that you were trying to gather votes for me. I don't know if that was true, but it put me off talking to you long enough for you to become a challenge threat. Once you had those immunities under your belt, you were practically unbeatable in the finals. You hadn't trodden on anyones toes, and you could claim challenge dominance as grounds to win. By the time you no longer were immune, it was the final five and you were to big a threat to consider letting near the end. I never seriously considered an alliance with you, although I am sorry that we didn't talk more.

Who Would I Align With in Future Games

1: Mariah - I really liked Mariah, and I think that we worked well together while we were on Tikal.
2: AJ - She was a good player, and together we could've become a powerful duo.
3: Chris - Pretty much the same reasons as AJ, if we had started on the same tribe, we could've done a lot of damage.
4: Jacob - If I were to play an under the radar game, I'd need someone in my alliance to make decisions and he was a good strategist.
5: Kelli - She was loyal, and brought a good morale to the tribe.
6: Kiefer - He was a decent player, and appeared to be extremely loyal to Jacob.
7/8: David/Tom - I never talked to them enough to answer this question.
9: Nick - Only because he'd never align himself with me again.

[Jason [Rafe]]

Thanks Julie.

I have enough info from everyone to make my vote.
