Leah's Questions

[leah]

Hello, ladies. Congratulations on making the finals!

Unfortunately, I never really got the chance to know either of you throughout the game. Ryan, we were on a tribe for a while, but my cruddy situation made it pretty hard for me to get online ever, and we never really got much of a chance to bond. 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.

So, my vote is essentially up in the air at this point.

Before I get to my question, though, I would actually like to commend Ryan. I know that it's been said that you were heartless for voting off AJ when she was your out-of-game friend, but I completely disagree. I'm a veteran who's played in over 120 games over the past ten years, and I will tell you straight up that there is no strategy more gutless than sticking to pregame alliances, especially in a series like this, where it's ended to be full alias - then it's enough of an advantage to qualify as borderline cheating. If you don't have enough skill to make it to the end without your friends helping you, you don't deserve a fake million dollars, and that's that. So if you had bent over backwards and risked your entire strategy just to keep her around, then it would have been a slap in the face to everybody else who went into it blind, and you'd probably have lost my vote on principle. So, for having the strategic sense to play the game that you actually signed up to play, I respect you.

Now, I know that I'm an early-boot juror, so I won't do you the disservice of pretending that I'm qualified to critique either of your guys' games, but, that being said, from where I'm sittin', outing Dominic and using his past against him pretty much undermines the AJ boot in terms of honorability, and it was a substantial bitch move on your part, Ryan. So you've got elements of good form, and elements of bad form, which balances you out to Colleen, who has yet to demonstrate any memorable form to me at all.

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.

Good luck!

[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.

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.

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

Prove to me that you want the win more than the other person.

Before I answer this question, I do have a few things to say. First off, I don't think Colleen should be commenting on how "honorable" my decision was to vote off AJ. Sure, I didn't just vote out AJ because it would keep the purity of the game. However, I was still being loyal to my tribe. And Colleen should be thankful that I did that because otherwise, she would not be here. Also, with the whole Dominic thing. I would like to clear that up as well. I'm sure Dominic has been talking a lot in the jury, and I want to make sure people have a clear picture of what went down. Yes, I knew that Dominic was Gregory. However, as you can see above. Colleen said that she didn't even know about it. That is because I didn't run around to everyone and tell everyone to watch out for Dominic because he was Gregory in season 1. I only went to Ellen because she was my biggest ally at the time. And this was at the VERY beginning of the game. Had my plan the whole time been to just ruin Dominic's game, I would have. However, I aligned very close with him. The reason he was voted out was because everyone saw him as a challenge threat, he had the hidden immunity idol, and he was viewed as snarky. All of those attributes led to his blindside. Those were in no way caused by my ruining his game because of our season 1 past. I put season 1 behind me very early on.

Now, to answer your question. Unfortunately, you were not there to see the merge happen. Otherwise, I think you would have seen clearly how I want the win more than Colleen. The simple fact is, I played harder the whole way through. I couldn't just sit back and watch everyone do my dirty work. Colleen played an under the radar game, which is a lot easier to do than the game I played. I got in the middle of the action. My opinion mattered when it came to deciding who to vote off. I honestly don't think Colleen can say the same thing. Colleen was someone that everyone approached after decisions had already been made. I'm not saying that Colleen didn't play the game at all. She just had an easier ride than some others. Socially, a lot of people did not have a close bond with Colleen. I tried my best to have a good relationship with every single person. My name was never written down at Tribal Council because of that. Sometimes, I had to make hard decisions in the game. For instance, I was seen as a pivotal vote during the first round of the merge. In addition, voting off AJ was extremely hard for me. I had to make the hard decision to blindside Ben, and I even had to vote for Carly even though I didn't want to just to make sure that I would be safe. Colleen never had to play as hard as I did. You can say that is a good thing. However, I would rather seen as a competitor instead of sort of just skating by.

Oh well thank you so much Ryan. I mean, you are so nice to have kept me because I'm sure you had the most influence But seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I am grateful that you did keep me because in return, here you are sitting in the finals because I took you. I'm pretty sure had you have won, you were gonna take Ellen and we all know what would happen there.

The thing is, I have the right to comment on it being honorable because Leah is giving you points as to why your game had "good form" when you totally should not be commended for that because it didn't matter whether or not you voted to keep her, since you wound up doing what Ellen told you to do. In my opinion, voting with AJ would have been just as honorable because she was leaving regardless but you didn't even give her the sympathy (vote). And idk if you should act like it's "so honorable" that you didn't use the pregame relationship because I'm sure you would have if you were on the bottom of the alliance at the start of merge. And I don't think I had it easy because I was never in the actual core even though I thought I was. I'm pretty sure it's you that has had it easy because you have been in the majority since the start and had a pregame.

That's all I'm gonna say.

Thank you again Ryan!
