We're going to finish up the jury and their voting and then we will continue with the remainder challenges. Please get those in ASAP!!!

[Blackberry]

(addressed to Pie)

Well Pie, i had every intention to be in the final 4 with you STD and Roland. i was told by Roland that you were turning on me. so i had to follow Roland and vote you out. i really hate that you turned on me, but its the game, and i hate to vote you off before you tried to vote me off.

Now me playing strategically better than roland is up to spectuation. i thought that me staying in the background and letting roland do all the work made me strategiclly stronger. i thought that me hiding in the background was going to make roland a biger target than me. then knowing that roland would keep his word int he finals, i would be stronger in the challenges than him. and then if there was a vote that i would have pissed off less players. unfortunatly ive underestimated rolands ablities to convince you all.

Coolbot - roland, dont really know.
Pie_is_good - raj, i would hope that you would understand that i was willing to take you to the final 4 with me. and i didnt want to vote you off.
mlaker - raj, im optimistic
PBuG - roland, he pretty much say he will be.
SaveTheDragons - roland, they've known eachother longer and i think had a stronger alliance.
PookyTheMagicalBear - roland, its obvious

(addressed to PBuG)

they deserve to win because...

Coolbot, i really dont know... he was good in risk. too bad we voted him out so soon.
Pie_is_good, you tried to take down the mighty alliance. nice try. you had guts and some smarts.
mlaker, i loved it when you posted, your few times. it allways related to survivor, rudy, greg.... <3 survivor freaks should win.
PBuG, you trusted people... that has to count for somthing. i always respect people who trusts others.
SaveTheDragons, well ive said it before that i think hes so smart andi think he is smarter than me and roland. and i think if he didnt go inactive then he would have won.
PookyTheMagicalBear, the fact that you lasted that long gives you to right to be here and have the chance to win it.

(addressed to mlaker)

in the words of Greg 9.

(addressed to roland)

my strategy roland?

it was sneek into the finals with my morals and keeping my promises and then killing you at the challenges.

[Blackberry]

My response to Pie:

Thank you for your questions, Pie, and I'll do my best to answer them.

1) If I won immunity, I'd probably have taken Raj to the Final 2. I love Pooky and all, but I knew that he would not only be much tougher to beat in the Final 2 (after all, everyone loves them some Pooky...), but I knew that if I voted Pooky off, he would likely be more forgiving of me than Raj would. If I had been playing with my emotions I definitely would have taken Pooky, but every action that I've made in this game has been dictated by strategy, and I would be stupid to turn my back on my strategy in the Final 3. Sorry, Pooks! ::huggle::

2) I formulated my gameplan on the very first day of the game, though I promised myself that I would be willing to change if things went askew. Over the course of the game, a lot of different things happened that both helped and hurt my strategy, and I did my best to stay on top of them. One of the largest problems I faced were that people within my alliances had a rather bad habit of targetting each other, so I had to do my very best to dissuade them. One particular example is how PBuG kept trying to get a group to take out raj and STD, and how I had to keep diverting his attention by telling him that other people wanted PBuG out and that I could use raj and STD's votes to keep him safe. Pie, you were another setback that I faced. After talking with people, I realized that you were playing the same sort of game that I was, but you had gotten caught. I knew that you would be a major threat, challenge-wise and socially, so I had to do my best to vote you out. Basically, my goal was to play this game with a solid strategy and not with my heart, and I think that's why I haven't received a vote against me yet.

My response to mlaker:

Well, I'm going to have to choose 4. It's my lucky number and hopefully it's luck holds out... And hopefully you're not doing the Greg Buis thing and the number's 9, because then I'll feel rather stupid...

---

My response to PBuG:

Thanks for the question, PBuG. I'll try to break down my reasons as simply as I can: a list!

- Coolbot - Coolbot deserves to win because he was one of the strongest competitors in the game. He knows the game well, and that gave him a good chance at winning. He should have definitely gotten to play longer than he did, and it's sad that he got screwed by a semi-random vote.
- Pie_is_good - Pie deserves to win because he was playing an excellent game until he got caught, and stood a very solid chance at winning if doubt hadn't been sown and he hadn't been taken down early. Pie is a very good people person, and is no slouch in the challenges, as we saw.
- mlaker - I didn't get to talk to mlaker much, but from what I saw, he played a very honest, clean game, which is the most that any person can ask of one's self.
- PBuG - PBuG deserves to win for his spirit. He was in the minority a lot of the time, whether he knew it or not, but he kept fighting back and doing his best to stay in the game, and managed to do so for several tribal councils.
- Save The Dragons - STD was, in my opinion, the strongest at challenges out of all of us, which is why he deserved to win. He played a smart, relatively-honest game, but still managed to keep us laughing the entire time.
- PookyTheMagicalBear - Pooky deserved to win because he got 3rd place, which I always think is the toughest spot to receive. He played under-the-radar near the beginning, but grew to become an important player, and if he had made the final 2, likely would have won. Everyone loves Pooky!

My response to raj:

I made several alliances throughout the course of the game, in order to keep myself in, and I had to break a couple to get here as well. I'm not going to sit here and read off a list of people I aligned with and betrayed, because I'm not an idiot... But the important thing to note is that I did everything within my power to make sure I stayed in the game and was never a target, and that though I'm friends with all of these people, I couldn't let that get in the way of my strategy.

[Blackberry]

(final remarks)

I played an honest game. everyone knew where i stood and i wasnt afraid to keep my alliance thoughout the game. i know i would killed pooky, but me picking a stronger player to go up in the finals shows what i really beleive. i told roland a couple of times... lets get to the finals and face eachother man aginst man. let the winner come from whoever is better at challenges. and i kept the deal.

[Blackberry]

We will once again be playing with

Darkness, Water, Wind, Earth, Fire

. There will be a total of 30 points available. A tie result means neither opponent gets any points. You will face eachother 6 times in total, each time you outwit your opponent you will recieve 5 Popcorn Points.
