JURY DRAFTS

[Colleen]

Hey guys, just wanna thank everyone for this interesting experience. It's surreal sitting here in the final 2 because I totally did not expect this. I'm proud of myself to have made it here and to control my own destiny at the end. Thank you Morgay for the game, it definitely was different and that's what I like. Also I am happy to be sitting next to Ryan because she has been a lovely ally and we are lovers

I came into the game not knowing what to expect. The whole "No AIM" concept was different and instead we had to always be in the chat if you wanted to communicate with someone. I am not a huge fan of group chats so it was awkward at first for me but after the game progressed, I got comfortable. I never talked about my "real" life (except to Ellen) because I didn't want to bump into people that I have played with previously.

I think others thought that I was weak because I wasn't the strongest in tribal challenges. I also came across as dumb at times, but that's mostly because I definitely played the role. I didn't wanna be seen as a threat and I wasn't. I knew what would happen to people perceived as threats (like Chase, Dominic, Ben…) and I didn't want to suffer the same fate. However, I also knew that I was on the outs at the start of the game but I worked myself up by just being friendly. I always had my concerns about people because I would observe how others interacted with one another. I am a level-headed player so I kept my cool because I didn't want to put a target on myself despite fuming inside (for example, the round after Ben left I feel I saved myself by being level-headed), lol.

Another part of my strategy definitely was to be as loyal as I could be because that's just how I am. I had no reason to lie to others so I didn't go out of my way to make any unnecessary lies. I know I wasn't exactly the most social with everyone, but I didn't feel the need to branch out too much because I thought Ellis was solid. I hope people do take into consideration that communication does work both ways.

Now it doesn't seem like I made any moves at all because I just went along with the Ellis train. Choo choo! But to me, winning the final competition and taking out Ellen is a big move. I know the jury is bitter at Ellen because she had almost everyone in her back pocket but that's just how good she is and for majority of the game, she even had me there. It was very comfortable I made the decision to vote her out because in my eyes she played like Kim from One World. I know we're not playing to win a million dollars but I didn't want to bank on the jury to remain bitter because I feel had she had a chance to explain herself, I would lose. So that is why I took Ryan to the finals because our gameplay doesn't compare to Ellen. I think my game is just as good as Ryan's or even better and more unique.

In conclusion, I played an honest and loyal game. I didn't have to backstab anyone because I didn't promise anyone anything that I couldn't keep. I was loyal to the F6 Ellis, loyal to my ideal f4 which ultimately I was loyal to my F3 deal. I definitely feel like I was underestimated this game and it worked out for me. I was social to an extent, strategic and competitive.

Thanks again and I look forward to your questions.

Thanks Liam... you know how to make a good impression too

To both of you: Give me a summary of your game play and why you made the decisions that you did. You can be as detailed as you want, but a good rule of thumb is that if it required more thought to make the decision, you should write more about it.

>>>Original Ellis

I didn't really have to do anything because we won every challenge, lol. My goal was to just be friendly and try to form some alliances. I knew I was on the outs as soon as the tribes were announced because apparently the tribemates in the chat made some deal and me/Tina/Carly weren't apart of it. I ended up working myself into the core. I knew Ellen was the top dog of our tribe so I made sure to kiss her ass even though it was mostly genuine But you know, I had the lip balm and everything. An alliance was formed between me/Ben/Ryan/Ellen. That was my main alliance throughout the game. I also had another alliance which consisted of me/Ben/Ellen.

>>>NuLiberty

Ellis had the numbers but we didn't like Tina so we were willing to vote her off but then Yuri also disappeared. Dom/Ellen obviously worked Jonah and Chase to be on our side which was good for me because I didn't have to make a deal with them and we used them for numbers, lol. I was sticking with Dom and Ellen no matter what. The one thing that annoyed me that round was when Dominic told me that we were throwing the challenge and to delete my posts. I didn't want to do it but I felt like I had to because I didn't want to put a target on my back.

>>>NuNuLiberty?

Dominic tells me/Ben that we should throw the challenge to gain Ellen and to keep Ellis safe on the other side. I hated the idea originally because I knew we were gonna boot Liam and I was happy to be finally on the same tribe as him. I was also paranoid that Dominic might flip because of his partnership with Kendell. But then Dominic shares that he has the idol and told me everything that Liam/Kend were saying so I was fine with throwing it to boot Liam. I kept quiet about Liam's nullifer because I didn't want to be in the TB.

>>>Merge

Ellis agreed to make F6 together. I mean, me/Ben/Ryan/Dom/Ellen were always on late and we just bonded so well. I had no connections to the Liberty people so I didn't feel the need to make deals or flip or anything.

At F8, I was definitely pro keeping Dominic. I knew he was the biggest threat because he made himself out to be one. Ryan wanted to vote him out to save AJ but I wasn't comfortable with it. I wasn't sure why Ryan wanted to keep her (now it makes sense, lol) but I didn't want her to have another alliance to fall back on. Plus I needed Dominic in the game so he would be targeted over me and for numbers.

At F6, I didn't want to vote Dominic because he totally deserved to make F5 but the thing is, I was playing for my alliance to make F4 so as much as I wanted him to stay one more round, I had to vote him out because I didn't want to vote out Ryan/Ellen/Ben if Dominic won immunity the next round.

At F5, I knew Ben ended up being the biggest threat to win by this point. I just didn't want to vote him out because loyalty is more important to me and if I can't win against him then it was my own fault for not playing a better game. I campaigned to Ellen to keep him because I knew there were talks about him getting the boot (from Ryan) and she assured me that she was keeping Ben because we did have a F3 alliance.

At F4, I was blindsided by the Ben vote. I felt screwed and that I was played like everyone else. I was so mad at Ellen because she lied to me when she didn't have to. I've mentioned, I am a level-headed player so I just kept my cool even though I wanted her head on a platter I wanted to win immunity so bad but unfortunately that challenge just wasn't for me. If I won, I was gonna go to Carly and tie the vote. Even though I did talk to Carly it was just awkward and went nowhere. We didn't want to say anything because we had no trust and I'm glad I didn't open my mouth too much because homegirl went and told Ellen/Ryan what I said. I wasn't sure what they were gonna do but I just acted confident even though I thought I was going to be eliminated.

At F3, I was thankful that the girls kept their words to me but I knew I had to win the challenge because I didn't want either of them to take me because they thought I was a "easy beat" or something. I wanted to choose my own destiny and to finally have the power that I've been craving since the start, lol. I did go into the challenge wanting to take Ellen because I was more closer to her and most of my decisions are based on that. But after winning the challenge, I realised, it wouldn't be a good move. Taking out Ellen would be the move of the game and something that should have happened rounds ago. She was in control every round, had everyone in love with her and she just played an amazing game. I didn't want to bank on the jury to remain bitter so I voted her out because I thought I had a better chance beating Ryan.

So yeah pretty much my game was straight forward like I said in my opening statement. I ended up being loyal to all my alliances and deals. I didn't backstab anyone and to me that is pretty amazing to play a game without backstabbing at least one person. I wasn't the strongest during the tribe phase but I stepped it up during individual and won 3 immunities... granted one was luck I was underestimated and it worked out for me because no one found me threatening and here I am, sitting in the F2.

To Colleen: Elaborate on your thought process during the round that I got voted out. For example: Ben later said he had no idea that vote nullifiers were even in effect, even though I had told you I was going to use mine. So, was that a conscious decision not to tell him? Just elaborate on the whole process that round, since that was when I got to interact with you the most in a strategic setting.

When you sent me that PM, I was shocked that you had a nullifer. I had no idea where it came from and all I know is that I didn't want it used on me so I never mentioned it to Ben. So yes, it was a consicous decision not to tell him because I didn't want to be in the TB.

My whole thought process that round;

I knew you were going to be the vote because we threw that challenge to boot you since Kendell was Dominic's partner. I was annoyed at Dominic for the past few rounds because I felt he was too controlling but I wanted to stay loyal to Ellis. I think there was a small chance that I would vote with you, had your target been Dominic but you lied about your partner and actually wanted to work with Dominic first over me so I knew you had to go that round.

I didn't tell you straight away that I wasn't gonna vote with you. I mean, I kinda hinted at it but I implied that my mind wasn't made up but it definitely was. I did that because I didn't want you to change your vote to me and work on Ben/Dom to vote with you. All I know is that you shocked me with the nullifer thing and I didn't wanna be in the TB.

[Colleen]

Thanks for the congratulations Chase.

Over the course of this game, or conversations were mostly flirting. I don't think we ever got past our basic flirting, and we definitely didn't talk any game. I think this was on both of us because I never knew what to say to you, and you never really approached me about anything. I've heard from a lot of people that you were "cool as a cucumber" the whole game, but honestly you were a non-entity to me. Obviously I was wrong about you because you were playing a lot more than you let on.

Lol yes our flirting was quite horrible, wasn't it?? I mean, I literally was happy to find out we weren't on the same tribe It was awkward as hell since I hate relationships that are just solely based on flirt/lame sex jokes #_# You shoulda told me you were a gay dude

I never talked game with you because I was fine with sticking to Ellis as I felt secured and I hate making deals when I know that I won't stick to it.

Here is my question for both of you. I want you to relate each member of the Jury to an actual Survivor player. I want to see gifs, and I want a description of why you picked that player. Please describe how big of a threat you saw each Jury member and any personal thoughts about them. I really want to get a taste for how you saw each person because I don't know either of you as well as I know the rest of the Jury.

I'm just gonna say please go easy on me with this as I'm not a huge survivor fan even though I love playing survivor ORGs. I've only seen like 5 seasons unlike our survivor wikipedia Ryan


Ellen - Kim.



This game was like we were actually in the season of One World. I chose Kim for Ellen because Kim had everyone wanting to go to the end with her despite the fact she was the biggest threat. Kim controlled everything, people listened to her and she was good at challenges. It sounds like I'm describing Ellen

I recognised Ellen as the biggest threat but because I thought she was more loyal to me, I wasn't going to do anything about it even though I stated in my confessional the best move would be to blindside her.

I love Ellen. I mean at times she did make go "dafuq" because the things she says to people are sometimes awkward and come across a bit fake. I know I questioned a lot about the sincerity but I do realise that she's just a loving girl. She has a great personality and can talk about anything. I love that in an ally and that is why she was my favourite person in the game.



Carly - Christina.



I compare Carly to Christina (from OW) because I felt that Carly was mainly used for a vote. I feel she was very out of the loop at times and definitely relied on Ryan too much. At the F4, we had a discussion how the vote was basically me or her. I also said we needed eachother to make the finals and that I would vote with her this round. She told Ryan and Ellen what I said but thankfully I didn't say too much and played it off that I didn't want her to vote for me Christina at the F4 bascially did nothing to stay.

I didn't find Carly a threat at all. I know I was more likeable and stronger in challenges than she was so I never felt threatened.

I didn't talk to Carly that much privately. Most of our communication was via the chat. I think she is a nice girl and can be super funny at times. She's random that's for sure.




Ben - Kat.



I think Ben is like Kat because both were fun and became threats to win the game because the jury liked them. Also they both were blindsided

I didn't find Ben that threatening until the end. I thought me/Ben/Carly needed eachother to have a chance to win when Ellis made F6 but things changed and Ben then became the biggest threat to actually win the game because he had such good jury management for being so likeable <3

I love Ben so much. He is such a blast and the chat was never boring when he was in it. He was so graphic at times but I didn't mind because it was hilarious. Ben knows how to make people laugh and I definitely got some more wrinkles around my eyes/mouth thanks to him



Dominic - Malcom.



I think Dominic was a lot like Malcom. He was a threat, had an idol and was super likeable. People wanted to blindside Malcom for a while just like they did for Dominic and both had good chances to win the game if they made the finals.

Dominic was a huuuuuge threat. He held so much power during the tribe stages that it annoyed me. Domi basically was calling the shots and never discussed things with me which is why it annoyed me because he would just assume I would go along with it I think because he was the leader and good at challenges it is why everyone found him threatening.

Dominic was very hilarious. From the Tina signatures to the made up stories and nicknames he came up with it... I just can't stop smiling at the thought of this. We didn't have a personal relationship but he was a good guy and I appreciate everything he did for Ellis.



Kendell - Tarzan.



This one kinda makes me giggle because Kendell was the youngest and Tarzan was the oldest in OW. But I think they were pretty similar around camp life / chat. Tarzan annoyed people around camp and Kendell rubbed people the wrong way by her antics in the chat, making it awkward at times. Plus they both were the last one remaining from their tribe [Liberty/Man].

I didn't find Kendell a threat because when we were on the same tribe and during merge, my side always had the numbers. Also people didn't seem to like her much so I knew nothing would happen.

I think Kendell was pretty cool despite being immature. I mean, it's not a bad thing because I can be just as immature and I'm almost a decade older than her, lol. It's nice to have someone around like that. Kendell had good taste in music... after all she did like Krewella <33 and she can also play "Toxic" on her tuba which would take serious skillz <33




AJ - Angie.



I compare AJ to Angie because they're both blondes... nah because both were sweethearts and super likeable. Angie had bad luck being on the Matsing tribe because they kept losing. Malcom/Denise did not want to vote her out. I think it's similar to AJ because had AJ been on a different tribe (Ellis), she would have made it further in the game. Plus people had a hard time voting her out too.

I was never on the same tribe with AJ so I didn't view her as a threat until the round she left. When Ryan was campaigning hardcore for her to stay over Dominic, I realised that she definitely had to go because I didn't want Ryan to have another alliance to fall back on.

I think AJ was a total sweetheart. We had one conversation at the start of the game before tribes happened. She definitely made an impression because I mentioned how I liked her in my confessional. I didn't mention much people at the start btw She just seems like a cool girl and likes to get to know people personally.



Chase - Jay.



I compare you to Jay because you both were seen as threats. You also trusted the wrong person (Kim/Ellen) and got blindsided.

I didn't find you a threat personally but for some reason you threatened Dominic/Ryan/Ellen.

I know you are quite likeable because at the start, as I mentioned in my ROPs, you did rub me the wrong way but then once we talked one on one, I warmed up to you. You need to like better people in survivor man I know, I'm not a huge fan of survivor but the people you like are so unlikeable and terrible at the game.



Leah - Kelly Purple.



I didn't watch Nicaragua but I know Kelly was basically non existent in that season. So that is why I'm comparing Leah to Kelly.

Leah was not a threat to me. We did not meet at all so she didn't exist in my game. I can't say anything personally as well due to never communicating / being on the same tribe.

I don't mean to be offensive by the way, it's just that I honestly can't say anything because I know nothing. I would expect Leah to say the same thing had she made finals / I was in the jury.




Liam - Jason.



I picked Jason only because I know both were good at challenges, lol. I don't have much to base it on. Plus I like Jason and I like Liam!

I didn't view Liam as a threat. I was only on the same tribe with him for like one round, lol.

Liam was my top 3 favourite at the start of the game. We were able to have a conversation one and one which was lovely. I liked that he could hold a conversation and I honestly wanted to be on the same tribe with him.



And just posting this because it's one of my favourite survivor moments;



And this because he's one of your faves;




Thank you Chase. Good luck with your decision!

[Colleen]

Thanks for the congraulations Leah.

Colleen, I don't think I ever saw you online, but I distinctly remember thinking that you were boring, and judging by your post "remembering" me, you evidently had the same opinion of me.

lol. If you never saw me online how could you think I was boring? haha but yeah, it was a shame we never got to meet.

So, with the two of you being perfectly equal in my mind, I pose the following challenge: Prove to me that you want the win more than the other person.

I don't care how you do it, I don't care if it's one post or twenty, if you insult the other person or throw a "Vote for Me" benefit concert with various celebrities showing up to endorse your victory, but whatever you do, make it worth my time.

I don't wanna insult Ryan because I think she's cool and all. But I don't see how Ryan voting out AJ = a good form? I mean I understand that she didn't stick to a pre game ally, but how much of that was actually Ryan's "honorable" choice? AJ even said in her jury questions thread that she gave Ryan the green light that she can vote her out if she couldn't get the votes and she couldn't, lol. Now it makes sense why Ryan was campaigning so hard against Dominic to save AJ. I never knew about the whole Domi thing. I don't think it should be commended, since Ryan still went out of her way to try and protect AJ. I don't think it's honorable and I don't think that it balances her out to me that she just failed in accomplishing her pre game goals.

Alright so you should vote for me because my good friend Britney Spears obviously is in love with me and her vayjayjay endorses me;




Now we have the lovely Rihanna who always Snap Chats me. Here is one picture that I managed to screen cap where she is showing me some love!




Martin Luther King had a dream to end racism in the United States but he also had another dream....




Who knew Bill Clinton could predict the future of an online game and is a fan of me? In one of his many, many speeches he made this comment (I'm not 100% sure but I think he's getting a BJ from Monica as well)




Alright so I admit... I paid for this publicity... but hey it's cheaper than a billboard advertisement and much bigger.




Someone needs to tell Janet Jackson that nipple pasties or whatever there called are so 2004 (cough superbowl). Janet had another "waldrobe malfunction" and I'm quite flattered tbh




My favourite dubstep band "Krewella" giving me some love on their new track "wub wub Vote for Colleen"

vocaroo.com/i/s1UOCIohqCeD <-- click to listen (btw I altered my voice)




And my biggest supporter ever since we bonded over Coke <333 (awk since I meant Coca Cola )




Well that's it. I hope you enjoyed and good luck with your decision

[Colleen]

Thanks for the congrats Domi!

I honestly have no idea how we managed to spend the entire game together yet spend so little time getting to know each other. It's not that I didn't want to get to know you or anything, but Ellen always had tabs on you so I didn't feel that it was necessary to be honest. Not trying to be rude, of course because when we did talk, it was wonderful. I definitely respect your gameplay and feel like you took the position you were given in this game as gracefully as possible and utilized it to make it to the top!

I know, right? haha. I was going to say in my ROPs that even though we spent the entire game together we weren't that close. We did share fun times in the main chat but most of our private talks were just game and that's fine. I wasn't really that opened talking about myself because as I've mentioned, I didn't share my real life because of wanting to stay alias.

Thank you for the respect, much appreciated.

My task for you tonight is simple, and I want brutal honesty. Of the 9 members of the jury, rank them based on their gameplay, with 1 being "OMG THEY SHOULD BE IN THE FINALS" to 9 being "COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT." Such a basic question that people always ask, but it's always so interesting to see. Remember to be honest and brutal and thank you in advance

Ellen - 9

No secret here. Everyone knows that Ellen should be in the finals. She played the best game and the funny thing is, that it was so obvious that she was the biggest threat but people didn't do anything because they "thought" they were her bestie She had it all, she was a combo player aka competitive, strategic and social as hell.

Ben - 8

Ben is so likeable and easy to talk to. He had the best jury management that it's insane at how people weren't mad at him when he was apart of their elimination and had the option to help them out I think he would have won if he made the finals. Also he was good at challenges and loyal which is a great quality.

Carly - 4

I feel bad for giving Carly a low score since she made the F4 but she really only branched out to Ryan... like she was basically her lapdog in a sense. She wasn't the most active and she was pretty bad at challenges.

Dominic - 8

Dominic came off strong. He definitely played the leader role which was bad for his game because leaders generally do get targeted for being threats. I also think he was a combo player because he was always coming up with strategies (for challenges, tribal council), social and obviously good at challenges. I think you were the best during tribal stages

Kendell - 5

Kendell had her moments at being likeable and out going but she was too immature at times. I think her immaturity rubbed people the wrong way because Kendell would always cause fights in the chat for no reason and could have handled her self better.

AJ - 7

The sweetheart of the game. She definitely has the likeable factor and had she been on the Ellis tribe, she would have been one of the top dogs for sure. She had to leave the round that she did because her niceness / likeability was threatening.

Chase - 6

I don't know much from Chase. I mean we were on the same tribe for a few rounds and then he was the first boot at merge. I know people were threatened by him because he was good at challenges (he proved to be a good asset at the tribal stages) and people seemed to like him.

Leah - 1

I can't say anything about Leah's gameplay because I never met her. The only thing I remember people talking about Leah is that she has a wonky eye or something in her cast photo. I have to give her a 1 because she was "COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT" to me.

Liam - 5

I only spent one round with Liam so I don't know much about his game. I did like him pregame so he get's a few points for that. I know the general consensus was that he wasn't that likeable which surprised me but he seemed to rub people the wrong way. I know he was good at challenges and seemed like a smart dude.

Thank you and good luck with your decision.
