Welcome, Silas!!!

Ahhhh Jefra survived!!!! Who flipped!!!!

[Silas Gaither]

Lame! I got blindsided not gonna lie, but I was thinking Jefra was lying about her Luv Shack prize and was gonna idol me out. Cliff and Spencer flipped apparently. Guess they felt at the bottom but they were literally never on AIM so I'm not sure what they expected. I still don't get why I was targeted like every round. I honestly thought I was leaving two rounds ago so whatever! Even though it sucks I'm out, I think the game got much more interesting now.

[rc]

Silas - Was Yul telling u guys everything I said to him? Was it his job to convince me I was safe and he was flipping to prevent me from idoling?

[Silas Gaither]

He didn't say much to me about talking to you specifically, more so with Mary from what I remember. But yeah it was his idea to make you think he was flipping and make Mary waste her idol on herself but then we blindside you instead. Did you have an idol? I was like SO SURE you were playing one and I was fucked lol. I was shocked I stayed in that round you have no idea haha. This time I did get blindsided like I said, but it just seemed way too easy that Jefra would leave, that I knew it was too good to be true.

[Silas Gaither]

Also I get why Spencer and Cliff flipped but like maybe they should've been more active in the game if they didn't want to feel at the bottom. For the record I didn't want either of them gone in 6th. >_<

I hope that Yul, Ethan and Bob can pull this out but I'm assuming that Spencer/Cliff will go with Mary/Jefra to Final 4 now.

[Silas Gaither]

1) What was your downfall this season?

That's tough to say. I honestly don't know what I could've done differently. For whatever reason everyone always saw me as a big threat and that's why I was always being targeted. I wanted to play more of an under the radar game and I think to an extent I let people like Yul seem like they were making the decisions but instead I'm the one always targeted over him. I definitely had to fight hard to even make it to Final 8 with such a target and receiving votes for several rounds, so I think I maybe need to find a way to be more under the radar, at least for the early part of the game. I guess then I should've made Spencer and Cliff feel closer to me or higher up in the guys alliance but that's pretty hard too when they are literally not there. Idk. I found it weird I went like three weeks without speaking to Spencer on AIM so ended up PMing him a couple of days ago, maybe I should've done that earlier but I just thought it's normal that when you sign up for a game like this you'll log into your AIM account once in a while! Maybe I should've been more open to working with Mary/Jefra too, but I wanted to get Jefra out this round cause she had her double vote. Then the next round I was open to working with Mary to take out some guys, just not the two of them together, cause I didn't want to be in a position where they just have to win a couple of challenges and they're in the Final Judgement, cause they'd have a lot of friends on the jury rooting for them.

2) Who are you hoping comes here next? Who are you hoping makes Final Judgement?

Well, strangely I'm not rooting against anyone per se. I understand why Spencer and Cliff betrayed me, so even though I'm obviously not their cheerleaders to win this game, I'm not bitter. I just think overall the others have put more effort into the game, so those two might have to convince me harder to vote for them in the end. But I can respect an under the radar game, so I won't rule it out. As long as they don't get to FTC and act like it was their strategy to do a whole lot of nothing the first half of the game, cause to me, that's what it seemed like they did. Sorry! >_< I'm hoping that Yul, Ethan and Bob make it to Final Judgement, but it's not looking good for them!

3) Who do you THINK will win?

Mary. I think Yul, Ethan and Bob are screwed. Spencer and Bob might make it to the end, but unless it's a Final 2 and they're together, I think they'll have a hard time convincing a jury to vote for them, cause I barely got two words out of them the whole game. Jefra could win too, but I think Mary played better so far. Just my perception.

4) So far, who would you consider this season's five All-Stars?

Yul, Jefra, Bob, Ethan, and me! Mary too but she already played this series.

5) Any final statements?

I had a great time in this game, the twists were perfect and definitely added to the excitement. Even though I wish I could've won, I guess I take it as a compliment that I was seen as such a big threat that I received votes at so many Tribal Councils and was ultimately blindsided.

[rc]

Yeah I had an idol. Yul has talked to me since day 1 and really appeared like he wanted to go to the end together. The round I left I was stressing about the idol and he convinced me I would be waisting it and we would need it down the road. Totally my fault for believing him. He knew we were voting for you, so I guess we were both dispensable to him. I have no problem admitting I was played, that kid is good.

And I ageee, people who are not active like cliff and Spencer will not get my vote.

[Taj Johnson]

Yul is a joke

I think Yul made everyone feel like he was their number one ally. He definitely tried to make me feel that way throughout pretty much the entire game. Not saying it's a bad thing, it means hes playing a pretty decent game.

Welcome, Bobby!!

1) What was your downfall this season?

I can never not make myself a target. I love talking to people and making friendships, and while it's a great way to get to the jury phase, it's also a great way to end up eliminated in the jury phase. I think I was the only one in my alliance who reached out to Cliff and Spencer on a regular basis, so I understand completely why they flipped. I had already yelled at Yul, Ethan, and Silas for doing that to Jean Robert, but some people never learn.

Also, I stopped lying because I thought I was safe. I thought my final four (Yul, Ethan, Silas) were on cruise control, so I didn't promise Spencer and Cliff final four like I planned to since I didn't want to lie to them too, because hey I would've needed jury votes from SOMEWHERE since I lied to everyone else. Call it getting cocky or call it prioritizing long term ahead of short term, but whatever you call it, I think if I change that specific thing, I don't end up here in seventh.

2) Who are you hoping comes here next? Who are you hoping makes Final Judgement?

I hope to see Mary here next. She flew off the deep end after I admitted to her that I warned the boys about her idol at the Kass vote, and she hadn't talked to me until tonight. It was really sloppy, and I don't think she deserves to last a single day longer if she chooses to ignore the social game like that.

I hope Jefra makes the finals. I think she's great, and she stole control of this game away from me and Yul in a surgical way last round. I also hope Cliff makes finals oddly enough. He has a brilliant strategy of making himself look like a buffoon that everyone will want to take to the end, but once you get him to shoot straight with you, you realize how he's actually smart and that his act is actually just a really good strategy of hiding in plain sight until he wants to make a move. I do wish he hadn't felt the need to lie to me when he didn't have to and would vote for Jefra over him, but I think 2nd is great for him.

3) Who do you THINK will win?

I think Jefra's gonna take it home. She's in the driver's seat right now, but shit got REAL chaotic once Silas left.

4) So far, who would you consider this season's five All-Stars?

Bobdawg - I mean ... I don't wanna brag, but I was in control for a long time in this game. Plus, I'm a regular ray of sunshine.
Yul - Yul was my partner in crime right up until tonight. RC, just to let you know, everything you told Yul, he immediately told me. We basically ran the same play on you that we ran on Kass a couple rounds earlier. He really came into his own right before the tribe swap, and he proved to me that he was one of the sharper strategic minds in the game.
Jefra - She's a smart girl. She's savvy. She's funny. She never gave up even when her back was against the wall. European domination is happening right now.
Ethan - There's a reason I picked Ethan as the winner in the Awards competition. He was the third-in-command in the majority alliance, and I figured that once it got down to five that me and Yul were the obvious targets for elimination, leaving it wide open for him. It's a great strategy, and one I wish I was capable of running. But I'm too type-A so I sat at the masthead like a chump.
Kass - She really got screwed by some bad luck in the challenge/vote-out format, and I'd love to see a smart player like her get a chance to not be behind the 8-ball in the game.

5) Any final statements?

To anyone I lied to, I apologize. There were a LOT of idols in play, and I had to adjust my game accordingly. If there was less chaos, I would've been more straight-up with a lot of you, most notably Jean-Robert. And hey, look what happened when I decided to stop lying for one round.

To anybody watching: I hope my downfall was as wonderful as I promised on my application. Every season needs a good "Villain rises to power and fails" storyline, and while I might not have been as villainous as I could have been, I think I was still the best one y'all had, at least until now.

[bobdawg]

Also, for the love of god Brandon, it's Bobdawg. Cliff gets a fucking nickname and I don't? Get outta my face.

[Silas Gaither]
