You are saying that Vova deserved to get votes but Briqsquad deserved all of the votes... both of those things cannot happen at the same time. And I do not believe that not winning 7-0 takes anything away from Briq's game, Ashley did not win last year unanimously and Brian did not win his season unanimously... it says nothing about their games. I didn't say that either...jesus. I am saying not voting for someone because you don't want them to get 7-0 is a stupid reason to vote the other way in my opinion. If you want to vote for Vova because you think he played a great game, go for it. But to vote for him for something like that is stoopid in my opinion. If you don't understand my point then whatever smdrq. |

1. I mean yeah. Briq would probably take to the FTC so I think it would be a close one between me and him.
2. Briq is the guy I made an alliance first in this game. And besides that he is one of the coolest guys on this site so yeah. Oh and congrats Briq for winning it!
3. Tom's meltdown was crazy haha. And I thought he'd get over but nah. He wanted Vova out sooo bad. I kinda felt sad when I lost it to Vova but Tom was like: This isn't happening! But that elimination game with Vova was exciting also. And the Showstopper didn't won what was crazy.

1. How does it feel to be the Sole Survivor of Survivor: Tonga? How well did you think you'd do coming into it day one?
2. At what point in the game did you decide you'd take Vova to the end over others in your alliance, or even people not in the Mafia?
3. How do you think the game would have went if the Tongan Mafia had made up the final five?
It feels great and I think it was well deserved! I was surprised it was 4-3 though. I didnt think I had a chance if james and tom were still around at the final 6-7.
I decided to take vova to the end at the final 3 lol. My intention was to take KF and Bryan to the final three but then decided to take bryan out when I knew it was a final two. I wanted KF and vova at the final three because they would each take me to the final two in case I didnt win the challenge.
Me bryan and KF to the final three and then possibly me and KF or bryan and KF at the final two. I'm assuming bryan would take KF over me.

1. What's your response to people saying that you didn't really play the game much, but you only relied on idols?
2. From when you got back into the game, what was your strategy to make it to the end? Who were the people you wanted to go to the end with?
3. What are your feelings on Tom after seeing what he said in Ponderosa and your history?
I don't think the others know the full story about my game. I really didn't want to say anything because I knew I had no chance in winning. Well basically, it is true, without Briq I wouldn't be here, and I can't thank him enough. But after that I did my own thing to stay safe. It's not my fault people don't see it that way because no one would look for the idols. I used my precious time to search for those, not only that before the merge, I did my very best to stay safe and not have the best score. All I needed was to stay safe. Also I will agree that I didn't have a strong social game. And that was because of my pride. Didn't want to talk to the people who wanted me out. But towards the end, like James said, I started to have more control with Briq. And I also didn't rely on my idols all the time because I believe it was Tribal Council #8 that I didn't use my idol because I knew who was getting eliminated.
When I got back to the game I came off a bit more obnoxious, again my pride, and I really had no one really except for Briq and James. Cory was glad to see me back because he thought it wasn't fair that I was voted off before inactives. And I am a honest person, and I did my very best to make it to the finals with James and Briq to the final three. Then I found out that James was the reason why I was voted off and it really stung me. Then all I wanted was me and Briq to the finals after I found out it was only going to be two people in the finals. My strategy literally was to good in the challenges because I had no social game besides Briq and James.
I really had no feelings to be honest. It is what it is. He was saying these things because he was mad that he was eliminated by someone who already was. And he that he wanted a second chance but couldn't get it. I totally understand where he came from. But he shouldn't had taken his rage that far. It's only a game remember. You didn't see Hayden or Bri or Cory take their rage out on me because I came back and they didn't. Again he was mad that he didn't get a second chance and I did. And really even though it is hard to believe, Nate had a good reason to why he brought me back. Because when someone is active and who is fighting to stay and try his best and takes his time and effort to do challenges over inactives and still gets voted off sucks. I understood why they voted me off over them, it was a strategic move to keep the weak. But it's not like they were inactive, they never logged on. Like Cory said, ''there's a difference between someone who's a weak competitor in the challenges and someone who doesn't have a pulse.''

1. What do you think the pecking order of the Tongan Mafia would have been if the five of you made the final 5?I think I was low on the totem pole. I knew Tom and James were high up there and could probably convince Briq and Kenny would follow in voting me out. That's why I didn't mind voting them out, although it probably would have been better for my game if we had waited one more round to do so. I knew I had to get them before they came after me. 2. Do you think you could have won your way to the end if you had made it past the final six tribal council?I do think I could have. Looking at the immunity challenges, they seemed very doable. Of course they're different when you're actually doing them and you're under pressure, but they weren't stupid ones I didn't want to attempt like 2048 or the button game. I think I could have also played the right cards in voting. If by some chance Major had gone home in the revote instead of me, I knew vova would have played the idol next round and I would have steered the vote toward Azri instead. 3. You were one of the more quiet ones in your alliance. Was this a strategy to make it further or was that just how it seemed?It was a little bit of both. I'm definitely more quiet in alliances. The ones calling the shots and making big moves are the ones who plant bigger targets on their backs. I was also at a lot of the earlier tribal councils so I was the one who actually made the decisions about who to vote off. At the same time, though, being quieter is just something I subconsciously do. I think my social game is the best so if I downplay my strategic game and make it seem like I'm doing less scheming, then I'm less of a threat to be voted off.

1. Why were you so hateful towards Vova, and now that it's all over, do you feel any differently rq?
2. How serious were you about your final two deal with James? Do you think you would have beaten him at the end?
3. Why do you think you were targeted so quickly at the merge? How far do you think you would have made it if Briq hadn't targeted you that tribal council?
-----------------------------------------
1. Well, hey, I should say it one more time, no, its because he WAS VOTED OUT ALREADY lol....I am such a fan of Survivor and I know that that doesn't happen in the game, ever, and it never will. And it is just a game, but I am playing a bunch of orgs as like practice for real Survivor haha, and I felt like this was a good test run and I was doing well and I got screwed by something that would nvr happen in real Survivor if I was on. So if I was playing just for fun, I probably wouldn't have been as mad, and I guess I should have realized that not everyone was playing for the reasons I was, so to them, it's not that big of a deal, but to me it was, and it does still piss me off a bit, but whatever, I'm kind of over it. It was nothing personal against Vova as a person ever really.
2. I was pretty serious. In the beginning I really wanted him out, but once we made the alliance of us two I realized it made sense to stick with him, because we were the two smartest players (I thought, didn't know briq was such a genius), and were on the same page, so it just made sense for both of our games because we were the two biggest targets, and once of us were gone, the other was going to go, so it made sense to kind of use each other as a shield. I was definitely going to stick with him til at least like F4 or F3, but then I would've considered taking someone I had a better chance of beating to FTC. I don't if I would have beat him. It would've depended on who made more moves and what happened during the rest of the game and we don't know. I think that I had a good chance though because a lot of people thought James was an a**hole haha, and I was much nicer to people til I got voted out lol
3. Probably because of how well I did in challenges premerge, and it seems like Briq never did trust me because I'm not a site regular. I don't view myself as a challenge threat but for a lot of them premerge as long I completed them and did fairly well I was set. Had I not been targeted, I really liked my chances to win if me and James did our "Bootlist" but if Briq was really out to get me and had an idol than it may have just been a matter of time.

1. Why do you think Briq took Vova to the end over you, and did your vote have something to do with his decision to not take you to the end? Bcoz its easy to win against vova duhh. Juror hates vova make further in this game & hv 2nd chance. & i should voted briq not kenny out  Yes another reason why i didnt vote briq as a winner bcoz he didnt take me to the end. 2. Was it your plan to hold back in challenges until the end or did you just get the right challenges at the end? i did won 1 challenge pre-merge. the rest were difficult. Coming into merge i know i need to win something especially final 8 foward. To win first challenge in merge is a big no-no for me coz 80% of who won 1st individual immunity will become a target. 3. Explain your strategy to be "inactive" for a while during the merge stage of the game. Like I said, I will not try to win 1st individual challenge. After that, Tom & James who i trusted the most got voted off. They are like shield to me to protect me from other's target. I never expected they will gone earlier. On that point, i know i was either be the great goat to bring to the final or vulnerable as an easy target. Vova obviously stole my spot as the goat. so, i decided & tried to be inactive just to let they think im "useless" & "weak" & theres still other bigger fish to fry. I didnt stop to get some ally. I asked cloudy if there any chance im staying. I didnt trust kenny & major coz i thought they were the one who flipped over james & tom. Cloudy said he had bryan with him. So i try to be close with him. Unfortunately, he also got voted off. Thats when i think i should keep winning or im dead. |
