Yul's Jury Thread

[Yul Kwon]

I would just like to start by congratulating the three of you on making it all the way to the end of this game. Although I may not respect some of you for how you played, or even like some of you, you were all able to make it this far, and it should be congratulated.

I really don't have many questions, because for the most part I knew what was going on in this game, secondly Penner was in the jury house letting everyone know about what was still going on the game, and lastly because the stuff I wasn't certain on you all touched on in your opening statements.

Jenny, you played a wonderful game, and should be proud of how you played. As you pointed out in your opening statements though, when we went from three tribes to two, you said you were still getting information and whatnot about the happenings of the other tribe. I want to know why I should give you my vote to win this game, when you can't even respect the general premise of a game like this, and not cross talk between tribes? We are simulating a real life game of Survivor here, and other than at challenges, or in the case of this season, Redemption Island duels, cross tribe communication has never been condoned. I just find it hard to vote for someone who can't respect the integrity of the game, but I'll give you the chance to defend.

Nate, I definitely don't have any questions for you, and I'm sure the hemroid on your ass, Penner, will talk you up as he has been doing since he got voted out enough for all eight of us jurors. I would like to comment on one thing you said in your opening statement though. You said you didn't do a lot of lying unless it was asbolutely neccessary, or whatever it was. Then you went and listed the people you really worked with in this game, and said you'd HONESTLY never played with any of them before. I find it funny that you can preach about how honest you played this game and what not, but then go on and lie a few sentences later.


Nate (9:42:20 PM): the one thing I can honestly say about penner is (i recently played an AS game with him)
Nate (9:42:31 PM): is that he may appear to be wrapped around ozzy's fingers but he's not
Nate (9:43:01 PM): I could get him to flip if i told him who I was if you want


Nate (9:50:07 PM): well i do know what penner got last round, which was nothing, that was part of the deal for sending him
lucky7777charms (9:50:43 PM): i see
Nate (9:51:14 PM): and honestly, having played with him, I can get him on our side if you guys are willing to talk it out

So either you just lied to eight people you're trying to convince to vote for you about not knowing anyone coming into this game, or you lied to me about actually knowing Penner. Either way I fail to see how either of these are ''neccessary'' lies.

CC, I'm most surprised to see you here out of the three. I think you played a remarkable game, and I am most impressed with the fact that you did so well for being halfway across the world from the rest of us. That couldn't have been easy. After hearing your opening statement, I have a few requests if you please. First, just touch on how you were able to keep as active as you were and how difficult it was for you to be like that, living on the other side of the world, and the one thing I failed to take out of your opening statement, please tell me what you feel your biggest/most pivotal move was in this entire game.

That's all for me. Congratulations to all three of you again, and good luck!

To be honest I never went to those people and asked them. Ozzy is my closest friend and we talk from nothing to everything on a daily basis. He and I have a close relationship and discuss game related stuff to non-game related stuff and he needed to vent to me at times so that's what he did. I wasn't about to shut my ear off due to restrictions of the game and because I'm his closest friend I listened and talked. As for CC she did the same, we're not that close, but she talks game related stuff to me so I listened as well. I did not sneak behind tribal lines at all, I just talked to my closest friends. In fact Ozzy is the main reason I signed up to this game. Without him, I would not have been here at all. Again Ozzy and I talk about everything and that's why I knew what was going on.

Hey Yul, I feel this comment needs to be cleared up as I don't want you or any of the jurors getting the wrong idea. As you said, either way, it wasn't a lie.

I came into this game alone and wanted to work with new people and I can truthfully say all of the people I mentioned above I have never played with before and/or been in an alliance with them in other games

^ from my opening.

Maybe you just skimmed past that last part, but as I said, me and Penner did not work together in that game I mentioned to you in our chat. Mine and Penner's bond strengthened AFTER I was voted out of the all stars game and I learnt he had been honest with me the whole time while I had my doubts. And if you take a closer look at the AIM chat you posted, I did say I recently played, meaning I or him was out. Ask him or anyone in that game for a fact, me and Penner did not work together in that game and I'll be the first to admit, I lied to him in that game because I wasn't sure where his loyalties lied. This game, after having talked about everything and all, I knew he was an honest guy and that is why we aligned. Going with the second part of my opening I emphasized for you. I had never worked with Penner in a solid, legit alliance ever before this game. So I did not lie in either case, as I emphasized, I said I had either not played with them before, OR aligned with them before ever. Neither was a lie.

Hello Yul..

Yul: CC, I'm most surprised to see you here out of the three. I think you played a remarkable game, and I am most impressed with the fact that you did so well for being halfway across the world from the rest of us. That couldn't have been easy. After hearing your opening statement, I have a few requests if you please. First, just touch on how you were able to keep as active as you were and how difficult it was for you to be like that, living on the other side of the world,

CC: Well, I must admit that it's really hard for me to be as active as I were. I finished my college study in February. I decide to play ORG back in March and at the same time I was offered a Young Lecturer position at my college and I started the job around April which is the exact timeline of this game too. So when it came to Live Challenges & Live TC at 8pm - 11pm EST, it was really hard for me. It's around 8am - 11 pm in Malaysia. I have a class to teach but I did tried my best to be here. Lucky I was a lecturer so I created a lot of excuses to my students. My popular reason is I have diarrhea and I went to the toilet and serve this board on my Ipod and check what happened because a lot of things happened around 8pm - 11pm, EST. So it was really hard for me. I have to double my effort in order to keep in touch with everyone. But what can I said? I've been watching Survivor since I was 10. I have so much passion in this game so I have to suck up everything and deal with it. I Love and my country and I think I just proof no matter which side in this world you are living, you still can have fun with ORG and make it till the end.

Yul: and the one thing I failed to take out of your opening statement, please tell me what you feel your biggest/most pivotal move was in this entire game.

CC: My pivotal or biggest move in this game is definitely my Secret Alliance with Jenny. It helps protect me from the Nate & Jenny's HII. Being in a secret alliance with Jenny also help to protect me from her alliance. When I knew about her HII, during the week when Yul was voted out, I knew I had to keep it to myself. Yes, I want to tell my girls and Adam about it but I want to respect my alliance with Jenny. And I knew it will help me to make it to the top 3. And yes it did.

Thank You so much Yul for your questions.
