Hey guys, I want to start off by saying congratulations to both of you for making it to the end. You guys both were great in your own way, and I enjoyed playing with you two. I want to give a special thanks to Kat, Shir, Estelle, Nicole, and Rachelle for hosting this game, hosting comps for me, and giving me my shot at redemption. I had a blast this game, and I am so glad you guys let me play again. 

Anyway, right now I am on the fence about how I want to vote for. I see both pros and cons in both if your gameplays. I think you both played a very UTR game, which is something I personally can never do so I think that is wonderful. I think you guys both made moves when it helped your game. Some of the cons which are probably my hurt ego is I think both of you never fully wanted to work with me when you said you did. You both gave me a sense of false hope, and I'm not bitter about it, I like you both a lot, but it felt unneeded at time. Zach you even offered me a final 2, which I knew was fake, but it showed that your word didn't really mean much. Penny I don't know if this is so much a con but a pro, but you chose to hide behind me because I was louder and bigger threat than you.

Anyway my vote will be completely decided by how you answer these questions


1. What attributes do you have that helped get you to the final 2, and what attributes do I not have that sent me to the Jury. 

2. What do you guys think is the pivotal move that got you to where you are sitting at now?
3. Which vote off was the hardest for you and why?
4. Name 2 Jurors that deserve your seat and why?
5. Tell me why the person next to you deserves to win and why?

Since I can't require you to compare me to something, it's optional to compare my game to any walking dead character and why you chose that character. I want to see which of you better understood the game I was trying to play. 


Thanks guys, and good luck to both of you.

Heya Pilar!

I think I’ll address the F2 thing first before going into the questions. I had offered that to you basically in response to I think it was Vanessa(?) getting evicted. I was convinced that the old Frozen 5 alliance was going to crash and I was being legit when I said that I saw you as my chance at survival. I actually DID want to work with you but I’m not going to sit here and say that I was ready to betray Michael and Aisha for you because I wasn’t. I figured it would come across as kinda sketchy, but I didn’t see much of a choice at the time and I would rather have at least given myself the small chance that you would believe me. If Aisha and Michael were then eliminated or very obviously the next to go, yeah I would have worked with you without a doubt.

BUT YOU ALSO PROBABLY KNOW ALL THAT ALEADY TO I’LL GET TO YOUR QUESTIONS.

1. What got me to the final 2 was a fairly well rounded game with pretty solid social connections with a lot of the cast. I wasn’t very loud so I wasn’t really a target until it was too late. I think an issue you have is that you seem disinterested when talking sometimes and because of that people have a harder time connecting with you. Also, I have NO idea how but for some reason you find a way to piss off people in JUST the right way to get them to yell at you and make yourself a target in their eyes (like in the cases of Kevin and Michael).

2. Without a shadow of a doubt you are the reason that I am where I am. Had it not been for you voting to evict Charlotte over me I would be on the jury asking probably you questions as to why you deserve to win. I’m sure you aren’t all that happy about that lol, but I am appreciative and definitely recognize it.
I see me getting you to vote Charlotte as the my biggest move of the game. 

3. Voting Michael was the hardest thing for me to do. I knew that he would stand a good shot at the end but I had played the entire game alongside him up until that point. It wasn’t easy but I definitely think it was the right decision.

4. Honestly I would pay to see a you and Aisha F2 if it was humanly possible. I see both of you as pretty central players to the season on all fronts and I think while Aisha may have gotten more of a hero edit if this was the show, you more than likely would have ended up with some sort of villain edit. I have an edgic chart saved for every eliminated player and you are the only CPN listed while she is the only CPP. Clash of the CP personalities would have definitely been a fun time.

Also you obviously both played very good games to get as far as you did however you were both too public about it, hence why you were eliminated.

5. Penny has been able to float a lot of her way to the end, and by F like, 9 maybe even secured her spot in the F2. She made the connections she needed to in order to make the moves that she wanted and that is most certainly enough to get you to the end with a chance to win.

Now I don’t actually watch Walking Dead and I’m not sure if I want to spoil it for myself either by wiki-ing storylines just in case I do decide to eventually go watch it. I will either come back to this question later or I will gladly do some other comparison like GoT, OITNB, Survivor, BB, TAR, w/e. I’m sure something can be figured out.

Thanks again Pilar! If you have anything else just lmk.

Optional or not, this is unnecessary and I will veto this question regardless. 
Good luck with your decision otherwise.

I think both of you never fully wanted to work with me when you said you did ... I don't know if this is so much a con but a pro, but you chose to hide behind me because I was louder and bigger threat than you.

    I'd like to begin by refuting the claim that I didn't want to work with you. Pilar, throughout the game, I had great respect for how open you were with me when the Frozen Five was discovered, and our goals were very similar throughout much of the game (evicting Adam, wanting Aisha gone, etc.) I also recognized that you were louder and a bigger threat than me. I never betrayed you, and while I may have done so had we made it to the final rounds, for the time that we played this game together, I was true (I was sitting next to you at your eviction, remember? )

1. What attributes do you have that helped get you to the final 2, and what attributes do I not have that sent me to the Jury.

    The attributes that helped me get to the final two were my challenge strength, my ability to stay in the shadows of bigger targets while still voting with them when their needs matched mine, and my ability to avoid burning bridges until it came time to evict someone. I think your downfall was that you were so overtly antagonistic towards your rival alliance - you became stuck in a rigid side vs. side game, and as such were the primary target of your enemies, whereas I, even though I felt very strongly aligned with you, and did many of the same things as you, was able to dodge that particular bullet.

2. What do you guys think is the pivotal move that got you to where you are sitting at now?

    I have to go back to choosing to evict Adam over Charlotte. I think that choice early on set me up to have a favorable footing with both sides of the house, enabling me to play the game as I did. Had I evicted Charlotte, I feel as though Team Canada would have wanted to evict my slimy ass very quickly, and Team Australia wouldn't have cared much to stop them.

3. Which vote off was the hardest for you and why?

    I hate to keep talking about the same thing, but Adam was my hardest vote. I had a very strong connection with him up to that point, and the realization that I needed to betray a friend to ever have a prayer of making it far was a sobering one indeed.

4. Name 2 Jurors that deserve your seat and why?

    I choose Aisha and Adam. Aisha played as close to a perfect game as anyone here could. She got evicted because she would most definitely have won if she made it to the end, and I think a strong game like that deserves some recognition. Adam had a lot of gaming chops, and the circumstances surrounding his eviction were none of his doing. I think that if he had survived that round, he would have pulled out some moves and proved that he deserved a far better placement than he got.

5. Tell me why the person next to you deserves to win and why?

    Zach deserves to win because he was able to remain at the core of his alliance for nearly the entire game. Even though he was clearly in a position of power, he always managed to escape eviction. He also had a strong social game with most of the cast and was a genuinely likable guy. He played an honest, straightforward game, and though it may not have been flashy, it was effective.


Thanks Pilar, sorry it took so long!
