@rbiash tsky429 ZeroRed JacobPost your questions. Votes will be due by Tuesday at 11:59 PM site time. TBH I'm waiting for some of the questions to be answered so there isn't repetition.

Vova: Phenomenal social game brotha. You were a F2 on tonga (lost to me by 1 vote), a F4 on BB, and now a F3 on Allstars. Crazy thing is, no one considers you a threat! Idk how you do it but props. My question is, on my vote, why didnt you vote to keep me? Bryan did and if you did it would've been a tie and I could've maybe flipped alex or something and your closes ally wouldve been in the game. So were in on me going home or were you not? Tell the truth because I can just ask mags and cole. Also, explain to me why you switched your vote 8 mins before the deadline on the Tom vote? Why did you need to be convinced? At that time I thought it was the best choice for me and the one that made the most sense. Because I thought it would be too much of a risk for it to go to a tie and possibly it drawing rocks. I didn't want one of my closest allies and the realest homies leaving. But I thought that it would help me out in later on the game and that time it made sense. And I wasn't in on getting rid of you, it wasn't in my intentions, but others felt that you were just too much of a threat and that you'd find a way to win the game, same with why Expert left. That idea was Magnam's and Cole's idea, I'm not going to take any credit from them. And I'm sure they'll agree with me. However, I thought that voting you out would make my relationship with both Alex/Ricardo improve, but I still had my doubts. Like I said before, I always knew that voting out Jimmy I wouldn't benefit from it because I knew if I reached the final five, I'd be the first to go. And I wanted to keep my word I made to Tom because I felt that it would be, personally, a good thing to do. Also, if I wasn't so busy that day I would have talked to Magnam a lot sooner, but we discussed it later that day. Keeping in mind that I knew I wasn't thinking strategically but personally. Magnam did help me acknowledge that I shouldn't take the game personally and that I should do the right thing. And so I did, knowing it was the best choice for me while making Tom really pissed off at me, which, I don't blame him.

I actually really love this final 3. Congrats. Jimmy you da homie and I don't really have any questions for you since we played so closely together. I'm ecstatic and so happy for you. But for the people who seem to think you didn't do sh*t all game until this week you wanna go further into detail about earlier in this game? Like who did you keep relationships with and who did you talk with for your game besides me and alaina obvy. Also if you want to explain your thought process the last few vote offs? I haven't had a chance to read your earlier answers yet so if you already answered this then just ignore me Bryan, your biggest asset is your personality. People love you and that kind of automatically shrinks your target. Social game on fleek, at least from what I've seen. Jury management on fleek as well. Leaking those last two votes and telling me you were trying to save me and briq wasn't down was muy bien. Because none of my bitterness would be directed at you when my time finally came. I guess the only part I would have to question is your strategic game. Did you have a strategic game plan going into this? Was there a point in this game where you had to adapt and change it up? When and how Vova.. I don't know about you man hahaha I do like that for your social game you talked to everyone. We had a strange little relationship where we would both talk and tell each other we had each others backs but we would never actually tell each other anything... because we didn't actually trust each other and we were just trying to get info out of one another and I know you were doing what you were doing with me to several other people. I remember at one point Jimmy and I compared notes and you had like literally copied and pasted the same message to both of us so we knew you were being a little sh*t. So I guess my question is how did you manage juggling relationships with everyone in the game? How did you stop that from biting you in the a** eventually?

Hey guys. Despite what people are saying i think all 3 of you deserve to be in Final 3. Hey, if you made the finals you did something right. 1. Describe the obstacles that you had to overcome to get to this point. (changed this question because i think my other one has already been pretty much answered) 2. Compare everyone in this game (including nate) to someone from one of these shows. Include explanations.: Lost One Tree Hill Gossip Girl The Challenge The OC BB (seasons 2,7,8,12-17) Good luck!!!! 1. Well I was alone, my allies were getting kicked to the curb faster than anything and I was never really in a position of power due to luck or other alliances. Also and this is underrated but I'm not good at challenges. This is definitely an obstacle sometimes and during the period where I was throwing challenges it wasn't because I didn't care to win them it was obviously strategy like I said but I also knew I probably couldn't win anyway so it was like a win win kinda... 2. There's 24 people in this game yo... I'll do jury and Nateums. Jimmy - Seth Cohen Ashley - Brooke Davis Alaina - Summer Roberts Expert - Jordan Wisely Nate - Landon Lueck Briq - Skills Tom - Keith Scott Alex - Lucas Scott Magnum - Nathan Scott Cole - Chris Keller Vova - Nate Archibald Bryan - Eric van der Woodsen

Congrats you guys! Its a high accomplishment making this far in the game with some of the best players to ever play these series. I respect you all, as players and as people. I dont think you guys are necessarily the best players but I think you guys are good enough to be threatening in a newbie season and I think you all were on your respective seasons, which allowed you to fly under the radar compared to the other big names like stan, joey, jamie, kaitlyn etc.... (btw Nate, this solidifies that Tonga is the best season!) Jimmy: Good job on making final 3 and being the last survivor of the "vets". I think your end game was great but I look at the game holistically and not in one aspect. I acknowledge that luck plays a role in these games but the amount of luck that affected your game was very high. I think you were lucky that alaina was sent to EI because you would have gone home instead of her. Explain to me what you exactly contributed before the magnum vote? What did you do strategically or socially that is admirable? Because from what I saw it was lackluster IMO. Your social game was abysmal and I think you should have been on the sideline tribe instead of vova or magnum. Your remarks toward stan, E, and even myself were not good jury management/social moves considering we were in power as well and will be voting in jury. When Alaina (your number 1 ally) left you said, "Take me out I dont want to be hear (paraphrase)." It seemed genuine because the action was out of haste. I dont think you planned that at all and were actually serious about wanting to leave. Explain to me why throwing competitions and attacking people is a good move because I cant think of any. It got you to the end, but do these actions get you votes? Remember youre not alone and there are 2 other people pleading there case with a more respectable social game. You 3 are very close, so dont take this as I'm not voting for you because if you can answer my question well, you can easily get my vote buddy. Bryan: Bryan, Bryan, Bryan... Why do you suck at PM!!!! The reason I wasnt as trusting of you is because you would never message me back, but realizing how loyal you were to me I feel completely bad. Also, why didnt you tell me you were voting for Jimmy!!! Congrats on making to the F3, huge accomplishment! Your social game was great and you have the best physical game out of the 3, you were clutch when need be. Strategically, we never really talked much or I did and you never responded -_____-. So explain specific strategical moves that helped put yourself in a better position. Give me an example in each phase, Social tribe, not the strength because we killed it on that tribe, then the sideline tribe and then merge. Also dont take too much credit with your social stance on the social tribe, because if I remember correctly, I reached out to Alaina for you. Congrats again! Vova: Phenomenal social game brotha. You were a F2 on tonga (lost to me by 1 vote), a F4 on BB, and now a F3 on Allstars. Crazy thing is, no one considers you a threat! Idk how you do it but props. My question is, on my vote, why didnt you vote to keep me? Bryan did and if you did it would've been a tie and I could've maybe flipped alex or something and your closes ally wouldve been in the game. So were in on me going home or were you not? Tell the truth because I can just ask mags and cole. Also, explain to me why you switched your vote 8 mins before the deadline on the Tom vote? Why did you need to be convinced? I don't think my social game was abysmal. I didn't PM everyone in the game because I'm not fake like that. I had civil, nice conversations with people including Stan. As for what I contributed, I was quiet but within my group I talked a bit. Again I had plenty of failed plans. I talked to Ricardo about flipping, many times, it didn't work. I talked to Vova. I tried reaching out to Alex to get him to vote with us. It also didn't work. I tried again with him. One of my exact quotes to him was "I threw that last challenge to get rid of Stan. I took that risk for my allies. Alaina and Ashley. There's no big group here. We know we're outnumbered and I honestly reached out to you not to use your vote but for you to join us. You wouldn't have been just a tag along but a key member of a budding 4 person alliance." One of the other aspects of my game was not letting all these defeats get to me. I may have said stuff to Expert and Stan but I knew there was no way they would break so it didn't matter and I was working my Phil Shepard angle but when it came to Ricardo, Alex or others in the event that the window was still open to work with them I had to be civil. I had to sit there and take the lies with a smile. It sucked. Now when Stan left and Alaina joined our tribe we could have throw and voted Alex or Bryan but we knew that it wouldn't exactly help us and if we kept them it might gain favor from them and they were our best chance to gain allies at that point. When I said to take me out I didn't mean it, I swear to that. Trust me when I say I was invested in this game. Throwing comps and trashing people isn't the best play in the world, it's a hail mary but sometimes when the hail mary is your only play it works. And one final thing and this isn't something you said I think Cole called me a pawn for him and Magnum. I take major offense to this I am and never will be a pawn for anybody in this game or any game. Just because they brought me in did not mean I was going to do whatever they wanted. I still thought every action and vote through. When others came to me about flipping I thought hard about if it benefited ME not the others. It just so happened that flipping didn't benefit me until final 5. At the earlier points, see I genuinely thought Magnum and Cole were going to try to bring me to final 3 so it made sense for me to vote with them, as soon as I saw the way out I took it.

alright guys, for real congrats on making the F3, we’d all love to be where you are
I will be honest, my vote is completely up for grabs, I am leaning like 33.3/33.3/33.3. None of your games were amazing, but at the same time none were abysmal.
The way I see it we have 3 animals here, Jimmy, the sleeping bear who finally woke up (but was asleep for like ¾ of the game), Bryan the meerkat, everybody loves meerkats but what did they really do to deserve our love? And Vova, a feline. Sometimes a pussy, sometimes a leopard/jaguar making savage moves.
I have a few things I want each of you to do.
1. Jimmy, you make the case to me why I should vote for VOVA over either of you Vova, you make the case to me why I should vote for BRYAN over either of you Bryan, you make the case to me why I should for JIMMY over either of you
I understand what I’m asking, but my directions are simple, don’t tell me why you should win, I’ve seen that enough, give me a well thought out answer for why that person should win. If it’s good enough, I may vote for that person, if I feel like you are just giving a half hearted argument, I won’t vote for you
2. Next Jimmy I want you to destroy Bryan’s social game/jury management (his best aspect) Vova, I want you to destroy Jimmy’s end game (like F8 on, his best aspect), focus specifically on what he did wrong from that time on Bryan, I want you to destroy Vova’s social game (his best aspect)
3. And lastly, I want each of you to tell me why you yourself played the best strategic game.
And I am going to leave you each with a parting note as to why I wouldn’t vote for you, if I don’t
Jimmy- you were a 0 for most of this game. You were the last vet left because the anti vets decided you were the last vet left, not because of anything you did, this game is wholistic, you played worse than Vova/Bryan for the beginning of the game, and I don’t see why your end game was discernable from either of them. Also Ashley has been advocating for you to win so much its annoying me and I may take it out on you
Bryan- I sensed a lack of effort. The not responding to pms, taking so long to answer these jury questions even, I understand this is not the most important thing in life, but I am more inclined to vote for someone who seemed to go harder and put more effort in. You are the lesser of the 3 evils, but I’m not voting based off that purely.
Vova- Because I’m not a big fan of you. As I’ve said, you were a coward in my vote, you let magnum manipulate you and then didn’t give me a chance to respond. I understand it’s just “part of the game” and to not be bitter. But when you make a jury bitter, you likely did something to deserve it, which you did. You can’t just tell a person “don’t be mad” when you made them mad, not that you did that, but I am just saying.
I don’t need you to respond to any of that, those were comments, my tie breaker question is this: who are you supporting for the 2016 election, give me one answer, a real answer, don’t need reasoning
Please answer the questions in this format
1. 2. 3. 2016:
Thanks

So I guess my question is how did you manage juggling relationships with everyone in the game? How did you stop that from biting you in the a** eventually? Thank you! I kept relationships with Alex, Ricardo, Phil and Outlast but they left pretty early. Dewie, Dusty again they left early which is one of the reasons our alliance was in such a sh*t storm but Tom and I talked about his trip to Minnesota which isn't exactly game talk but could be considered social. I talked about keeping the relationships with Ricardo and Alex going because we knew we needed them and they might work with us. My thought process during the last few votes was simple. Put myself in the best possible position to win the game. When Alex came to me about flipping, he was going home. I liked Alex but he's so good at challenges you just can't flirt with keeping him in that point, plus final 5 was my target to flip anyway because Cole/Magnum couldn't be both safe obviously. Just going through my PM's Bryan and I talked early on as well. Thank you again by the way for being just an awesome ally during this game.

Sure. 2016: I've been a big Marco Rubio guy for a while but I'm a Trump guy and I don't care what anyone thinks about it.

Lol DAFUQ, I was actually really considering working with you rq. And I don't think I copy and pasted my messages lol. I don't thinkt that was my intention, I'ma go back on them and see whatchu tryna say lol. But I do agree with you that we never told anything that huge, but I was just afraid of talking too much and getting caught with it. I don't know if that was the same with you. And really, like Cole said people thought they can trust me and all that good stuff really did help me. No one ever seemed me as a threat because I was always stealthy. Also what really helped me was the DR Posts, some of the people in the game had like 75+ posts, while I had like 8. So I used that too my advantage and I guess people seemed that I wasn't doing anything while I let my actions do the talking. I was always cool with people and I wouldn't just talk, and then stop. I would keep talking to them until they can fully gain my trust or I can gain their trust as well. I really planned this pretty well with how I would manage my deals and alliances with so many people. That was one of the reasons why I didn't need to win immunity to feel safe. I also didn't want to be seen as a threat, but I guess people overlooked that and it was smooth sailing. I was always worried that it would eventually get me later on the game with so many people I was cool with but it didn't because everything worked out in my favor. You even said that my game was on fleek and that I didn't have to worry because no one had thought of me as a potential target. I had to calculate what was best for my game so I guess that is what prevented me getting bitten in the booty rq.

You were the last vet left because the anti vets decided you were the last vet left, not because of anything you did, this game is wholistic, you played worse than Vova/Bryan for the beginning of the game, and I don’t see why your end game was discernable from either of them. Also Ashley has been advocating for you to win so much its annoying me and I may take it out on you Bryan- I sensed a lack of effort. The not responding to pms, taking so long to answer these jury questions even, I understand this is not the most important thing in life, but I am more inclined to vote for someone who seemed to go harder and put more effort in. You are the lesser of the 3 evils, but I’m not voting based off that purely. Vova- Because I’m not a big fan of you. As I’ve said, you were a coward in my vote, you let magnum manipulate you and then didn’t give me a chance to respond. I understand it’s just “part of the game” and to not be bitter. But when you make a jury bitter, you likely did something to deserve it, which you did. You can’t just tell a person “don’t be mad” when you made them mad, not that you did that, but I am just saying. I don’t need you to respond to any of that, those were comments, my tie breaker question is this: who are you supporting for the 2016 election, give me one answer, a real answer, don’t need reasoning Please answer the questions in this format 1. 2. 3. 2016: Thanks Bryan should win this game because he played a strong social game. He's hasn't hurt anyone in the jury and kept his word while playing for himself at the same time. He understood the threats and what he needed to do in order to get to the final 3. His personality made him liked by everyone and more trustworthy which he used to his advantage. Jimmy, I'm sorry for this lol. Coming into the Merge, Jimmy's allies went down one by one. But at that time it had seemed as if he gave up and his only strategy was to lay low and act dead. He didn't do much after the merge to improve his position until both Mags and Coles came up to him. It seemed as if he put his gameplay in others and went on from there. And many people that were playing the game wanted him in the final 3 because we all seemed that he was floating around and he was fortunate enough to still be here. He tried to play the underdog role, but I don't know any underdog who simply gives up and hopes something can turn around from him, maybe if he had talked to people and started to give himself a chance it would have been a different story. And this is similar to Briq helping me in Tonga, where I was at the lowest Briq helped me and without Briq I wouldn't have gone to the final. Same situation here, if it wasn't for Cole or Magnam to help Jimmy out he would have been long gone as well. I don't see how it's any different really. Sorry Jimmy, you're still the bro. Coming into this game I knew I had to step up the things that matter mostly, and that is being social and strategic. Winning competitions and finding idols isn't everything because believe I had gotten so much heat in the FTC for Tonga. So I decided to make deals/alliances with people in the game. That included small chit chat to gain trust, where there heads were at and so on. Throughout the game, I had made 3 big alliances really which included, the Tonga-Bermuda alliance, Tropical Flavor and Survivor Squad. These alliances were fairly dominant early in the game. But just in case anything went downhill I had to make sure I was close with the others who weren't involved. Playing in such a strong cast intimidates you because there are so many good players, so what I thought was best for my game was to eliminate or try to eliminate all possible future threats while at the same time not be seen as a threat. Big players such as Dewie, Phil, Joey, etc. were gone before the merge which really did put me in a good position while lowkey gaining power. It really worked out for me because people seen me as a loyal, trustworthy guy who can help them. But I used that to my advantage to gain more information and try to use that on others and make them seem that I am good guy, while at the same time no one was reading that about me. After the merge, I was always in power because I had put myself in that position and knew that in order to get to the final 3. To have had a good chance at winning I had to do what was necessary and that was to take out the big names who were involved in orchestrating a few power players. But I could have afford to lose them because I was gaining power while really no one had seen throughout the game. And I really do think Hilary is gonna win, I want my mans Bernie Sanders to win rq.

Congrats you guys! Its a high accomplishment making this far in the game with some of the best players to ever play these series. I respect you all, as players and as people. I dont think you guys are necessarily the best players but I think you guys are good enough to be threatening in a newbie season and I think you all were on your respective seasons, which allowed you to fly under the radar compared to the other big names like stan, joey, jamie, kaitlyn etc.... (btw Nate, this solidifies that Tonga is the best season!) Jimmy: Good job on making final 3 and being the last survivor of the "vets". I think your end game was great but I look at the game holistically and not in one aspect. I acknowledge that luck plays a role in these games but the amount of luck that affected your game was very high. I think you were lucky that alaina was sent to EI because you would have gone home instead of her. Explain to me what you exactly contributed before the magnum vote? What did you do strategically or socially that is admirable? Because from what I saw it was lackluster IMO. Your social game was abysmal and I think you should have been on the sideline tribe instead of vova or magnum. Your remarks toward stan, E, and even myself were not good jury management/social moves considering we were in power as well and will be voting in jury. When Alaina (your number 1 ally) left you said, "Take me out I dont want to be hear (paraphrase)." It seemed genuine because the action was out of haste. I dont think you planned that at all and were actually serious about wanting to leave. Explain to me why throwing competitions and attacking people is a good move because I cant think of any. It got you to the end, but do these actions get you votes? Remember youre not alone and there are 2 other people pleading there case with a more respectable social game. You 3 are very close, so dont take this as I'm not voting for you because if you can answer my question well, you can easily get my vote buddy. Bryan: Bryan, Bryan, Bryan... Why do you suck at PM!!!! The reason I wasnt as trusting of you is because you would never message me back, but realizing how loyal you were to me I feel completely bad. Also, why didnt you tell me you were voting for Jimmy!!! Congrats on making to the F3, huge accomplishment! Your social game was great and you have the best physical game out of the 3, you were clutch when need be. Strategically, we never really talked much or I did and you never responded -_____-. So explain specific strategical moves that helped put yourself in a better position. Give me an example in each phase, Social tribe, not the strength because we killed it on that tribe, then the sideline tribe and then merge. Also dont take too much credit with your social stance on the social tribe, because if I remember correctly, I reached out to Alaina for you. Congrats again! Vova: Phenomenal social game brotha. You were a F2 on tonga (lost to me by 1 vote), a F4 on BB, and now a F3 on Allstars. Crazy thing is, no one considers you a threat! Idk how you do it but props. My question is, on my vote, why didnt you vote to keep me? Bryan did and if you did it would've been a tie and I could've maybe flipped alex or something and your closes ally wouldve been in the game. So were in on me going home or were you not? Tell the truth because I can just ask mags and cole. Also, explain to me why you switched your vote 8 mins before the deadline on the Tom vote? Why did you need to be convinced? I don't think my social game was abysmal. I didn't PM everyone in the game because I'm not fake like that. I had civil, nice conversations with people including Stan. As for what I contributed, I was quiet but within my group I talked a bit. Again I had plenty of failed plans. I talked to Ricardo about flipping, many times, it didn't work. I talked to Vova. I tried reaching out to Alex to get him to vote with us. It also didn't work. I tried again with him. One of my exact quotes to him was "I threw that last challenge to get rid of Stan. I took that risk for my allies. Alaina and Ashley. There's no big group here. We know we're outnumbered and I honestly reached out to you not to use your vote but for you to join us. You wouldn't have been just a tag along but a key member of a budding 4 person alliance." One of the other aspects of my game was not letting all these defeats get to me. I may have said stuff to Expert and Stan but I knew there was no way they would break so it didn't matter and I was working my Phil Shepard angle but when it came to Ricardo, Alex or others in the event that the window was still open to work with them I had to be civil. I had to sit there and take the lies with a smile. It sucked. Now when Stan left and Alaina joined our tribe we could have throw and voted Alex or Bryan but we knew that it wouldn't exactly help us and if we kept them it might gain favor from them and they were our best chance to gain allies at that point. When I said to take me out I didn't mean it, I swear to that. Trust me when I say I was invested in this game. Throwing comps and trashing people isn't the best play in the world, it's a hail mary but sometimes when the hail mary is your only play it works. And one final thing and this isn't something you said I think Cole called me a pawn for him and Magnum. I take major offense to this I am and never will be a pawn for anybody in this game or any game. Just because they brought me in did not mean I was going to do whatever they wanted. I still thought every action and vote through. When others came to me about flipping I thought hard about if it benefited ME not the others. It just so happened that flipping didn't benefit me until final 5. At the earlier points, see I genuinely thought Magnum and Cole were going to try to bring me to final 3 so it made sense for me to vote with them, as soon as I saw the way out I took it. Knowing that expert and Stan won't break, shouldn't be burning potential jury votes is all I'm saying. There's a different way of going about it that could've helped you gain possible allies and maybe that 1 to 2 jury votes that seals the win. Idk why, out of any survivor player in the history of Survivor, you would try to imitate Philip. You're basically saying you wanted to be a goat. I admire your end game tho, I think that's one of the hardest aspects in this game. You presented yourself as a weak player but then took charge at the most important part of the game, which is something I lacked in my 2 last fourm games. Problem is Bryan and Vova also played a good end game. One more question, Who are the people, that you got to play with (so not outlast, dewie,Kenny etc..)did you talk game with?
