Dave's Questions

[Dave]

Hey everybody! First of all, congrats to Steve and Christy for making the Final 2. There's bragging rights when you make the Final 2, and even more to win the whole game. I was voted out just before the merge, and unfortunate for me, both of you were on Camas so I never got to know you. Good news for you is that I could be a swing vote. Im a free vote to either of you.

For Christy:

In the game Survivor, there are three rules that every player must know. Those are Outwit, Outplay and Outlast. Based on your opening statement, I only see you as outlasting the rest of us by making the Final 2. In what ways have you demonstrated yourself to outwit and outplay everybody?

For Steve:

I really dont know what to ask considering Ive never talked to you, and you didnt post your opening statement. Ok. I want you to describe why each person in the merge, from Donna all the way to Foster was voted out. I want to know why they were voted out, what they meant to you and how hard was it for you to see them go?

Good luck in the voting!

Hi Dave!!! First off, AWESOME job on the log challenge – not sucking up… just never got to meet you to tell you myself (since I had been rooting for Thomas at the time to win that challenge – LOL).

Now, on to your question:
out•wit (out-w t )
tr.v. out•wit•ted, out•wit•ting, out•wits
1. To surpass in cleverness or cunning; outsmart.

I believe I was clever enough to strategize with others, to stick with those who shared my views on the game, and to keep my reward a secret as to not hinder the “realness” of voting. Cunning, or sly enough with my discussions to gain information needed to further my game with knowledge received – to use for or against votes. I don’t like the word outsmart – it could also stand for out maneuver – I’m here… I’m shooting for the ultimate maneuver.

out•play (out-pl )
tr.v. out•played, out•play•ing, out•plays
To surpass (an opponent) in skill or technique or in scoring points.

I was very helpful in the tribal immunities, being a very strong asset. With individual immunity challenges – there were 8 of them…I won 3 times (once in a double win with Steve), Steve won 3 of them (once in a double win with me), and Robin won 3. Therefore, I outplayed 7 other people from the merge. The other skill I would say assisted me, is my outgoing nature, my love to talk and meet new people, ask questions, and have fun.

Thanks for your question Dave.
Maybe we’ll meet in the future,
Christy

Donna was voted out because I think most of the Camas members clicked really well with Jason and Tom, and I remember there being concern for splitting up a possible alliance between Aryan and Donna.

Thomas was voted out because people thought he would win lots of immunity challenges. And he had a way of winning challenges and doing really well without ever signing on to AIM, and I don't think he was able to build the friendships and trust that he needed to, and people were scared of him.

Aryan was voted off because I didn't like her or get to connect with her at all. I didn't want her around because I was convinced she was voting against me.

Johny left because he wasn't ever around. No one thought he deserved to make it as far as he did.

Robin went because she had one the three previous immunity challenges, which scared everyone.

Jason got voted off because I had to choose between him and Foster, and I chose Foster. Things would have probably gone differently if three people weren't immune during that tribal council.

Tom got voted off because I had a very good connection with Christy and Foster, and forcing a tie was risky. I wouldn't have been in the final two had I tried to force a tie and had it failed.

Foster got voted off because of Christy's decision.
