Adam's Attacks

[Adam Gentry]

Relax, my title was named that just so I could use another word that starts with A

So good job to all 3 of you, blah blah I'm not here to suck up to ya'll so no patronizing here.

Cristina:

You are a nice person in all, but you really havn't done much in this game. In your opener, you talked about how you took in Jenny and made a secret alliance. Do you honestly think that she wasn't agreeing to this because outside of Becky, you were the weakest player to make the merge? I think you letting everyone know that little tidbit of info helps jenny's case and not yours. Also, please tell the jury what non-geographical and lingual struggles you've had in this game.

Jenny:

I think you are a great social player. Seeing you in the All-Stars you were in with me, as well as this game, I can say that you probably could outthink the majority of people reading this message. But I hate to think that idols got you where you were, because you really didn't do much to earn an idol besides picking a random number. So I want you to tell me how this game would've been different if there wern't any idols in play.

Nate:

You're a solid guy and are probably most people's favorite out of the 3 going into the questioning. You definitely fought and I really buy into the "winning out" method in Survivor. The ppl who say that the ones who only win immunities don't deserve it are really just jealous they couldn't do the same themselves. But just to prove to everyone else there was more to you than challenge prowess, I want you to tell me something you learned about the 8 jurors.

Additional questions for all:

1. The classic- Relate every juror and the final 3 to an actual survivor player and why (but try not to use the obvious answers, show off your knowledge of survivor characters).

2. What did you do better than the other two players vying for our votes?

That's all for me, have fun answering!

Hey Adam!

Thanks for the words, I agree with you on it all.

Alright, stuff about the jury:

Billy: Me and Billy didn't really talk much, we did a few times the one round but nothing more then a short conversation here and there and then he was voted out, so it wasn't enough time to really get to know him. But what I can tell you is that he sure knows his tunes. I can tell he is a music lover and very dedicated to things he does.

Ozzy: Again, we only really talked one time but despite the differences we always seem to have, I think Ozzy is a very down to earth person who really cares for people he is close to. Yeah, me and him have had our things in the past but one thing you can always count on is getting 110% effort out of Ozzy. He is never going to give you any less and is always someone you need to watch out for.

Jonathan: I found out he is a lot like me in the sense of putting in trust in people and our mouths getting each other in trouble We look for the good in people and want to assume everyone will stay true to what they say. I guess you can call both of us gullible in that sense, lol. But yeah, we have a lot of similarities in game play I find. I also know how old he is, plays soccer, his name, etc. but I won't post that stuff here as I don't want to invade on his information and post it for others to know.

Yul: Outside of the game, I found out Yul is a little older then myself and that leading up to the days he was voted out, he had a big job interview coming up which judging from his status updates from time to time I assume he got. So congrats on that. He's a nice guy who sometimes may take things to heart. As I said before, I have nothing against him as a person, I voted him out because it was hard to judge what side he truly was on.

Parvati: Well, I can tell you what Parvati told me about herself which obviously isn't true as Jenny told me she's really a he But it wasn't really hard to figure that out either. Anyways, I can tell that Parvati is close with her family based on her spending Easter with them and her brother hiding an egg up near the lights and it melted, etc (Hope you didn't eat that one, lol). She also said she had just gotten a job at a construction site and shared some stories with me about that, don't know if it's true or not, but yeah. Oh yeah, and the mean worker who said she throws like a girl!

Adam: Didn't really exchange conversations this game, and haven't always been on the best of terms but you know I respect your game play and I hope the same is true for you, going back all the way to our Patagonia days You don't like to take shit from anybody and I respect that about you. We may not have always seen eye to eye but we got mutual respect for each other in my opinion.

Sekou: My NBA buddy! We talked a lot in the game about the NBA playoffs, and NBA 2k11 and my player mode etc, haha. We both wanted the Nuggets to beat the Thunder but that didn't happen. Then he wanted the Thunder to beat the Grizz and Mavs while I wanted the Grizz and Mavs to beat the Thunder I guess that was a sign of things to come since he broke away from our alliance too lol. Anyways I also know he's got a ps3 otherwise I would have probably played a few games with him on 2K11 too He's a calm and collected man and I have a lot of respect for how he keeps his calm in dire situations.

Stephenie: The Diva! We only had a few conversations where she tried to fish for information and said she would side with us but didn't so I don't have a lot to go off of, but as she's mentioned, she's had real life issues going on recently and also has a busy job related to casting that keeps her occupied. I'm sure she's a down to earth person but also someone that's not going to take shit and will bite back if you piss her off but that's only if she is provoked.

I'll post this now and work on the other two next! Thanks Adam and if you need to know anything else just let me know!

[Nate Gonzalez]

1. The classic- Relate every juror and the final 3 to an actual survivor player and why (but try not to use the obvious answers, show off your knowledge of survivor characters).

Billy: John Kenney (Vanuatu). I am going to compare Billy to John K because their situations were similar in my opinion. They were both seen as threats and targeted for it. Both guys weren't rude or anything, they were really nice guys but the people who were playing the game knew if they wanted to get further into the game, then they had to go.

Ozzy: Brandon Bellinger (Guatamala). Brandon was actually one of my faves in Guatamala. He was very strong in challenges and down to earth. He may not have been the most social with everyone, like I felt Ozzy was this game, picking and choosing who he bonded with, but they were both threats you did not want to be against. That was the main reason Brandon was voted out in Guatamala, nobody wanted to go up against him in challenges and knew if he got anywhere near the end, his character and his effort he put into the game would be hard to beat, just like Ozzy's.

Penner: John Fincher (Samoa). Both are very strategically able players. I also find that they both appeared to come off as being sneaky and threats even when they weren't really doing much. I remember people had their doubts about John in Samoa and the same can be said for Jonathan in this game but at the end of the day, it ended up being them putting too much trust into certain people that eventually got them out directly (for John) and indirectly (for Penner).

Yul: Jamie Newton (Guatamala). They are both players who were always thinking in their minds. Jamie always was thinking of things left and right and was someone who would give it their all in challenges, much like Yul. Also, I think they both tend to take things too hard sometimes and act on their emotions. As you recall, Jamie was emotionally roughed up every time things didn't go his way and I think Yul sort of showed that after he was voted out.

Parv: Gervase Peterson (Borneo). If you can recall all the way to Borneo, Gervase was a very charming person who people liked, just like how Parvati was very charming this game. She was in good with a lot of players and a lot of people liked her back. Gervase was like that too, being on the good side of people. Also, people may have underestimated them in challenges as well but they were always close to winning challenges and near the top in placements. Only way they differed was Parvati was sneaky and tried to play both sides using her charm whereas Gervase did not, but other then that, they were pretty close in terms of gameplay.

Adam: Gregg Carey (Palau). Based on how this game went, I find that both Gregg and Adam were strong, independent men in the game. They weren't really targeted for much of the game but when they were, they did end up going. Yeah, Adam did get idol'd out, but I liken it to Gregg being blindsided by his own alliance in Tom and Ian in this scenario. They weren't "out there" as players but they were very likeable and I believe both Adam and Gregg were dark horses to win the game.

Sekou: Tom Buchanan (All-Stars). I liken Sekou to Big Tom from All-Stars. They are both gentle giants in the sense that they were very calm and down to earth people. Sekou is someone who would never let his emotions cloud his judgement from what I can say and the same can be said for Big Tom. Both are very humble and a force to be reckoned with if they try (as I heard about Sekou). They had legit shots at getting to the end but at the end them being wishy-washy and wavering helped their case in being voted out.

Steph: Natalie Bolton (Micronesia). Both these players can talk! Natalie had a big mouth in Micro. and wasn't the type to back down from a verbal argument and I think the same can be said for Stephenie. They were both considered to be more under the radar and hiding behind bigger players and didn't really start to play until later in the game when it was a case of too little too late.

If you look closer to my answers you'll also notice I compared them to players who finished at the same spot!

Cristina: Jan Gentry (Thailand). I compare Cristina to Jan because they are both liked players. Jan was loved by pretty much everyone in her season and I don't think there is anyone in this game that has any problems with Cristina. They were both good social players and laid back sweet hearts.

Jenny: Danielle DiLorenzo (Panama). Danielle from Panama was always thinking strategy. She would keep working no matter what happened and would adjust her game play on the fly, like when she had to vote Courtney out. Jenny was the same, me and her talked a lot and discussed a lot of the votes and what would happen in each scenario. Bot girls were also very strong in challenges even if they didn't have many wins to show for it.

Nate: Tom Westman (Palau). Tom won a lot of immunities like I did but he also played the game socially, like myself. He did not sit back and relax when he had immunity either and would work strategically to get what he wanted. We both stuck to our main alliances and stuck with people we bonded with the most overall and yeah we lied to others but we had to in those situations or risk losing an ally. Anyone in our positions would have done the same.

2. What did you do better than the other two players vying for our votes?

I think I played all facets of the game. I played the game since day one, never taking a day off. I could have just said fuck it and laid back and watch other people bite their heads off because i was immune and knew I had good chances of winning another won, but I didn't. I was always in the middle of talking strategy. I put in 110% effort into the game and played every round of this game.

Thanks again Adam!

[Jenny Guzon-Bae]

Jenny:

I think you are a great social player. Seeing you in the All-Stars you were in with me, as well as this game, I can say that you probably could outthink the majority of people reading this message. But I hate to think that idols got you where you were, because you really didn't do much to earn an idol besides picking a random number. So I want you to tell me how this game would've been different if there wern't any idols in play.

Yeah I agree that the idols were lucky for me this game as well as Nate. In the end they were still apart of this game and I still had it. Anyways the round when I idol'd you out, (which I regretted doing and wish I changed to Steph in hindsight) CC only voted for me to keep our secret alliance alive. Yeah she could've bullshitted me about that but I don't think she would have. She also said she wouldn't have voted for me and convinced the some of the girls to vote to keep me as I was a pretty good ally of hers. So with that being said I believe the vote count was 5-2 that round. Yes Sekou flipped on me in desperation and had CC voted with us we'd have needed one more for the tie. Don't know if that would've happened since you guys were tight but it would've been more closer, so yes I could've gone that round.

2. What did you do better than the other two players vying for our votes?

I will work on the first question tomorrow, just finishing this up before I head out.

Anyways I played the social game and survived several rounds to get where I was. Yes I survived the round I got lucky with the HII, but after that I survived two rounds. I fought hard in each challenge, including the final one, I had over 3,500 posts, but there was on way I was gonna get 4,500 since by the time I fell asleep Nate went all out. lol But I did do well in some of the challenges but Nate did that much better.

[Cristina 'CC' Coria]

Hello Adam

Adam: Cristina, You are a nice person in all, but you really havn't done much in this game. In your opener, you talked about how you took in Jenny and made a secret alliance. Do you honestly think that she wasn't agreeing to this because outside of Becky, you were the weakest player to make the merge? I think you letting everyone know that little tidbit of info helps jenny's case and not yours. Also, please tell the jury what non-geographical and lingual struggles you've had in this game.

CC: I think I've did enough to be here. I don't think my secret alliance with Jenny only benefited her because It really helps me too to be here. Without those secret alliance it still could be me, blindsides with the Hidden Idol. Without those secret alliance, Jenny and Nate might take Steph with them to the Final 3. I mean Steph and I kinda have the same laid back and chill strategy but she's more outspoken than me so they should bring her but they still bring me. I do think it is because of my relationship with Jenny. So there must be something right I do because I'm here at the end of the game. Struggles. Well a lot. I have to make a lot of tough choices. Like in Final 7 when Nate choose to blindside Parv. Nate & Jenny asked me if I will vote with them and Sekou. But I can't do that to Parv. Beside that both of them got the HII with them. I have to reject their offer to vote with them at this point of a game in a nicest way. I need to ensure they don't feel offended at all and change their vote from Parv & Adam to me. I had to be careful.

Adam: Additional questions for all:

1. The classic- Relate every juror and the final 3 to an actual survivor player and why (but try not to use the obvious answers, show off your knowledge of survivor characters)

Billy: Nate (Cook Islands) - First Individual IC, we can see that Billy is one the strongest one and he had a solid alliance with me, Parv & Steph. Same with Nate, the other alliance felt that he's the strongest in his alliance and voted him out for that consideration.

Ozzy: Brenda (Nicaragua) - Good strategy and strong in challenge too but lack of Social Skill. Brenda is a great player but she's a threat. Even her alliances want to vote her out (Naonka & Chase). In this case I was shocked when Penner also choose to vote out Ozzy but I think Penner realized that how much threat Ozzy can be in the future.

Penner: Candice (Heroes vs Villains) - Candice realized her alliance with Amanda, Rupert & Colby will not benefited her so she sided with majority and voted Amanda. But soon after that, she was voted out because other people think if she can do that to Amanda like Penner did to Ozzy, he need to go.

Yul: Frosti (China) - Frosti was voted out due to his closeness to both Fei Long & Zhan Hu. Even though he sided with Fei Long, the Fei Long still couldn't afford that he's a challenge threat and wonder if he will go back to Zhan Hu because of his past relationship with Zhan Hu.

Parvati: JT (Heroes vs Vilalins) - Nate, Jenny & Sekou had several options either to idol Parv or Adam or Steph or Me. But they go with Parv because she's quite sneaky and charming and she was perceived as a leader in our alliance. Same with JT. He was perceived as the leader in Heroes and much threat in IC more than Amanda, Candice, Colby & Rupert. So he was idol'ed.

Adam: Burton (Pearl Islands) - Even though you said not try to use the obvious answer, I just can't help it. You were voted out early but came back stronger. You reposition yourself well in this game same with Burton. Almost made it to the final but fell short from it.

Sekou: John Fincher (Samoa) - I think both of you jump ship at the wrong time. If you choose to stick with Nate & Jenny in Final 6, you would be here with them not me. But I gotta do what I've to do which is let you jump ship even though I knew Jenny got the HII and our vote wouldn't be count. Same with John F. He should just stick to his alliance and not join Russell and his crews.

Steph: Naonka (Nicaragua) - I just can't help it than noticed both of them were outspoken but still got a good strategy. She made it far. But unlike Naonka, Steph didn't quit and stay loyal to her alliances.

Jenny: Darrah (Pearl islands) - After her sidekick, Tijuana was voted out Darrah was basically alone. She needs to do what she have to do and but unlike Darrah she managed to be in the final 3.

Nate: Terry (Exile Islands) - Nate had to win immunity every week. Because without those necklace he will be voted out. Unlike Terry he managed to win it all especially at the crucial time.

CC: Todd (China) - If this is a real game I can see myself got the same edit like Todd. Todd don't want to be a leader in his alliance. He pushed the title to Aaron and Amanda. All he want to do is being a good follower and plan everything by himself. Same like me. Parv & Billy are definitely Amanda & Aaron in our alliance and me & Steph are Todd & Courtney. Todd is one of the weakest in challenge too, even Courtney won an IC, but all Todd need to do is being smart and alert with people around him.

2. What did you do better than the other two players vying for our votes?

CC: Well I'm here without those necklace and Hidden Idol. I have to depend on my social skill and the fact that I'm a sweet and nice person. I kept a lot of things to myself and my own benefit like Jenny's HII. Everyone thought it was a null and it benefited me a lot in this game.

Thank You Adam

[Adam Gentry]

Alright my vote has been decided. Jenny I guess finishing my stuff wasn't important to you...

[Yul Kwon]

Ozzy posted this morning saying she was severely ill, n would be here as soon as she could

sorry Adam I have a bad fever and cough and have barely been able to think. I'll get to it soon. Just being on the computer makes me feel sick, I'll try as soon as I feel a bit better, but I haven't watched Survivor since like 2003, so I'll need more time and will work on it tomorrow (Monday)

[Jenny Guzon-Bae]

OK Adam, sorry i took so long, I'm feeling a lot better today so I was able to work on this.

Billy- James Clement (China) Billy went to SI twice and was blindsided, if I recall James had two HII's and was thus blindsided because of it

Ozzy-Ozzy (Cook Islands) Just like the real Ozzy, Ozzy was alienated pre-merge and had a tough time getting to merge, but he did only to be blindsided by everyone minus Jenny.

Penner- Danielle DiLorenzo (Heroes vs Villains)- Penner was loyal to Ozzy for a bit, however he couldn't keep quiet and backstabbed Ozzy.

Yul- JT (HvV) Got caught playing both sides and was thus voted out on the heroes tribe, like Yul did

Parvati- Parvati (Again)- was a flirt throughout the game, played a very smart game, was semi-loyal, she was strong socially but not the greatest in tchallenges

Adam- Richard Hatch (Australia, likable guy, formed some strong alliance, was idol'd out however which shrunk that alliance. He was loyal to his allies before he was idol'd out.

Sekou- Rob Cesternino (Survivor Amazon)- I know Sekou played a loyal game to nate until the end game when he switched sides, I guess its how Rob played to keep himself alive, he played both sides throughout the game, although Sekou did so near the end, and he got burned for it, like Rob did at F3

Steph- NaOnka (Nicaragua)- strong will and very outspoken. Both played a similar style of game

CC- Sandra Diaz Twine (Pearl Islands)- She was never voted for and played both sides like Jenny. Didn't do so well in challenges but managed to keep her game and ensured no one voted for her.

Jenny- Amber (all-stars) Was allied with Rob after Jerri left, Rob played the physical dominating game while Amber was more sociable,but appeared to be more laid back. She made some crucial decisions within the game to keep herself allive kinda like me.

Nate (Australia)- Colby Donaldson- very likable guy, went to win several challenges and was considered a dominator. He played outstanding.

[Adam Gentry]

Thanks to all 3 of you for your thoughtful answers. Good luck!

I shouldn't respond to anything, but my favorite sin after Lust is Pride, so I will. Major points for the Parvati comparison (Because, believe me, that's exactly what I was shooting for. Do yourself a massive favor and read my confessionals. If you read my initial spiel and understand exactly what I was that I was doing to everybody the entire game, I think it'll blow your mind.), but neither I nor the real Parvati sucked at challenges. Parvati gave Ozzy a run for her money several times in Cook Islands, won at least one Immunity in Micronesia, and won something like three or four in HVV.

I personally placed second in three out of the five ICs I got to compete in (and placed third in another) despite working 12-hour shifts, would have won the first one if the host hadn't extended the deadline, and would probably have won the final seven one if *someone* hadn't had a *totally cheap* advantage.

Just sayin'.

Again my survivor knowledge is crap so I literally researched it. I compared everyone to what I read about online so that's basically how I came to my determination. Yeah I know you were second to third in most of challenges, but I never did watch that season so when I gotta do this type of question, I really gotta look for it online.

[Jonathan Penner]

Haha yeah I hated that that first challenge got extended and (after I worked hard and did it) the host then said that we could edit and delete.. -_-

Hey I could've won that one too
