Hey ladies. I never really like doing these Q&A sessions so I'm just gonna say a little bit and leave it at that. I was (understandably) upset at my boot and I did say some things that clouded my judgement. So I just wanted to clear the air on how I feel. I can appreciate that all of you want to win the game, and I can even appreciate the occasional lie. I certainly can't claim to have been 100% honest, so I couldn't expect you all to.
Lisi, you were certainly the most loyal and honest of the three of you standing up there, but you played arguably the worst game - depending on solely on your ability to decipher clues and also luck in the fact that the majority alliance screwed itself over - twice. The general vibe at Ponderosa has been ridiculously swayed against you, to a point that I'm probably the only person who had your name on my mind. But your loyalty - which ended up being worth only 4th place - isn't enough to get my vote. You scolded me in Madagascar and Stranded for my social game, but this time you didn't have one at all and it's probably going to cost you tonight. Thanks for playing with me - and thanks for sticking with me when things were tough. But you didn't play as well as you usually do (See: Penny).
Alina, my biggest complaints with you have to do with your arrogance. When you are in control (or even when you're not and you think are) you become this really annoying persona. I saw it a little bit in the early stages of the game and then again around the merge, but I really saw it this last round when I left. You came to me and had the audacity to say you wanted to win this more then anyone left, as if I hadn't just sacrificed 4-5 nights a week for the last 3-4 weeks to participate in every single challenge and tribal. You said it was because you had never won before, but I hadn't won before either. You suggested to me at one point that I should let you win if we were in the finals together...at first I thought you were kidding, but given how desperate you were later, I don't know anymore. To top it off, our alliance only stayed solid until we got to the final four, where you blatantly told me that even though we were aligned, you might vote me out over Catalie regardless of immunity. If that's not arrogance in this game, I don't know what is. From the vibe at the jury lodge, you're the most popular of three remaining, but I don't think you played particularly well - like Lisi, you thrived a lot because of other people's blunders.
Catalie, I simply don't like the way you handled yourself. You played the best game of three of you and honestly, I'm going to reward you for it. You made smart strategical moves - voting keeping Erinn, voting out Katie, always keeping with the 'right' side so you could lose as few enemies as possible. Even voting me out was smart. But you NEVER owned up to those moves. I always hated how every single time you made a move, you wouldn't own up to it and you would blame someone else, as if you were this innocent angel that had just got caught up playing with the Devil. You lied unnecessarily and ultimately you came out looking like a coward. But then again, I'm probably going to vote for you and you're probably going to win, so maybe it was worth it after all. Maybe I take these things too seriously, less of a game and more of a chance to make connections and see how they last - I always get burned and the people that burn me always thrive. If you're okay with that, then that's fine...the only person you gotta answer to after this is yourself.
That's all I have. That's just my personal opinions. I think you all were great players and I think you ultimately deserve to be there...after all, you ARE there so it's a moot point to argue if you deserve it. I have my preference on who should win, but I'll be happy no matter which of you take it. Thank you all for playing this game with me, and good luck. Sincerely.
