Greetings, Trip!



Well..........you've played your ass off around here! I don't think anyone can say otherwise. Whether they agree with your tactics or not, I think the one thing everyone can agree on is that you played hard, full tilt, and never looked back. Kudos for all you've brought to this game!!!!!



I've added a FINAL WORDS topic to your Confessional, and once it's done, I'll post your Final Words in tonight's Tribal Council for everyone to see.



And be sure to check the JURY HOUSE DETAILS thread for more info about your time here.




Also....





*EVERY JURY MEMBER NEEDS TO EARN THEIR SPOT TO KEEP THEIR JURY SEAT. PONDEROSA MEMBERS HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT IF A JUROR ISN'T ABLE TO STAY ON THE JURY ~ I WILL
BUMP ONE OF THEM INTO AN AVAILABLE SPOT.*




*SO, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE OUT OF THE GAME..........DON'T DISAPPEAR. WE WILL NEED ACTIVE JURORS TO COMPLETE THIS GAME.*



*OBVIOUSLY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOG IN CONSTANTLY, BUT ALL JURORS NEED TO KNOW WHAT
IS GOING ON AROUND HERE..........AS YOU WILL EACH HAVE AN IMPORTANT VOTE AT THE END.*




* * * EACH JUROR NEEDS TO LOG IN A MINIMUM OF AT LEAST THREE TIMES EACH WEEK AND PARTICIPATE AROUND HERE TO KEEP YOUR SPOT IN THE JURY. IF YOU NEED TO BE AWAY.......
........PLEASE INFORM ME BEFOREHAND AND WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT. BUT
NO JURY SPOT IS GUARANTEED UNLESS EACH OF YOU REMAIN ACTIVE AND EASY TO REACH
HERE IN THE JURY HOUSE. * * *







Now....





~ A few questions for you to answer as you get settled in:





1) Was there a point during tonight's Tribal that you felt things might have been starting to shift
in your favor?



2) And for all of our curiosity, once you made that public deal to take Laurie to the Final Two tonight..........would you have honored that if it came down to it? Why or why not?


3) What was your most critical round or rounds in the game as far as getting and maintaining leverage?

Trip, you bastard, welcome home. We like to have a lot of fun here, so be prepared - I'm drinking a beer in your honor as I type this.

Much respect to your strategic thinking and impressive execution - Final 4 is nothing to sniff at.

I'm looking forward to picking your brain about things. I know we all are.

Yes. Laurie seemed to be starting to understand what I was saying, but then Rose said the right thing by basically offering to step down at final three if she doesn't win immunity. If she does, I'm going to kick her!! LOL. I give her credit for knowing how to "reason" with Laurie... though there isn't much reason involved. Rose is too good of a player to actually step down. And yes, she is also a liar. :lol:

Yes. I would have honored it. I didn't know how the jury would perceive me. I had actually wanted to go to the jury against Wes... but that obviously wasn't happening. If the jury was bitter, I was a dead duck. If the jury was strategic, I had a huge shot. It was 50/50. I think that's probably why Atreyu decided not to really go with me to final two. Up until tonight, I would have gone to the end with Atreyu. After I realized he was the mastermind behind my vote, I would have definitely taken Laurie. In my eyes, she is the worst player left. She's just not logical. If my case was going to be strategy over loyalty, the best person for me to take would have been Laurie. In fact, I was actually thinking about forcing a tie to save her if I won immunity.

3) What was your most critical round or rounds in the game as far as getting and maintaining leverage?


The very first vote was critical. Making sure Max was the first boot on Bonsai, because I didn't trust Daniel. And it got me closer to Apollo. I feel like that move me secure for the entire time on Bonsai. Taking out Wes on Jedi was a no-brainer. Dude hardly talked to me at that point, and he brought nothing but chaos. The Johnny vote was pivotal because it took power away from Lucy. The next big vote was the Buttercup vote, because she was just too protected. She had both the girls AND Apollo protecting her, and that's way too much power. That caused alliances to collapse and set me up for my big Lucy blindside, which is still my favorite move of the game. That move allowed me to work with everyone here. LOL. The next big move was the Max vote. I was actually gunning for Apollo. I did set up the move to take Max out the next round, but I wasn't really going to do it. I just set it up so I could get Max to target Apollo. I wanted to create division to ensure that there was no real final four with them and Laurie. But Max freaked out, so I had to vote him out of the game. Then, Apollo still had to go. My big mistake was at final six. I should have voted with Daniel. I just thought I had Atreyu on my side at that point, and he was actually making a huge play AGAINST me. Atreyu is actually an amazing plalyer.

Yes.

I told you exactly how things would play out.

But I understand your move and can't fault your logic.

I was super paranoid that round... because of your scrambling. You actually made me more scared then anything. If you had just come to me and Wes instead of telling other people stuff about us too, that would have made me more willing to listen to you. But you were making everyone crazy, and it just felt dangerous. So I took the safe route. I shouldn't have.

Atreyu already had me believing him at this point. Atreyu is a slippery dude. He is smart as all hell. Make no mistake about it, this is HIS alliance. And he just sits back in public and seems all level-headed and in the background. He is the one that got me to stick with them. I actually believed him when he said he wasn't tight with Rose. I never trusted Rose... not once. She is really transparent. But Atreyu can LIE.

LOL... I could write an entire book about it. Wait until you read my confessional.

Also, don't take offense to anything I say about you. I had a real love/hate relationship with you all game.

You were definitely the most fun player I've ever played with though. You certainly kept me on my toes.

My goal at Final 6 was to show a clear division between Trip/Wes and Atreyu/Rose. That's why I was playing both sides. I did this for two reasons:

1) I hoped that 2 of you would look beyond the F6 vote and use Laurie and myself to take control of the game THAT round. Instead of waiting.

2) If you didn't do that, I was guessing you would vote out Laurie at F6 instead of me (still not sure why you voted me over her - she's way more dangerous) and therefore put myself in a critical swing position at Final 5.

I feel like I almost accomplished my goal. I feel like I was close - maybe I wasn't.

pretty sure everyone here on the jury, in the game, and add Lucy to that list.. would use the exact same phrase :lol:

you actually had me in your pocket pretty nicely. I don't think you realize just how good you were at telling me the kinds of things I liked to hear.

man what the hell were we thinking trying to stick with an alliance?

atreyu and rose were talking to me more than trip was that round, so all I was hearing was "dans trying to get you out"

regarding your second point, again, atreyu and rose were really strong in protecting Laurie. and of course, now we know why
