I'll start with Romeo, because he asked nicer.... And he's better looking.

At least on my end, your scrambling didn't have an effect on what happened.

There should have been a five in place - max, Daniel, Apollo, trip and I. And had Max not had his meltdown, we would have taken all of the others out.

It was once max left that I needed to find a way to save Apollo and Daniel. And couldn't save either one. In that process I got close to Atreyu again.

In fact, the night max was voted out, Atreyu told me that the reason he didn't honor my request to be voted out was because HE WANTED TO PLAY the game with me...l not Max.

So the real turn came with Max's ouster.

If that makes sense.

But yeah - Romeo, the knowledge that you were going to vote for me was just too much of a risk. But I really wanted to trust you. Just this little voice telling me I better not...

wise on his part to tell you that. he told me that we have to keep the vote on max just in case you were trying to move it because of the tie breaker.

laurie i am curious about your relationship with me all game. we were friendly the entire time, but i think we only voted the same way once or twice

Ok, Trip - your turn.

Hey there, Laurie.

A couple things.

1. I would have taken you to final 2. I didn't want Rose out - I wanted Atreyu out...

2. Did you not realize they were a pair? Of course I did, but I had a chance with both - a much better chance with Atreyu. He was taking me to the end. He was upset with a lot that Rose did. But I knew that if I forced a tie and it DIDN'T work, that I would ruin all of that. Your logic was sound, I said that. But it wouldn't have been a lock. And I figured I had Atreyu. I just couldn't get rose back on girl power...

3. If you did, why not split them up when you were 100% safe anyway, regardless of whether or not you trusted me? See above. Although, if you would have answered my question about taking me to end ANY other way - that I deemed truthful. I would have forced the tie. I was looking for the truth. And you didn't give it to me. You told me what I wanted to hear.

4. If Rose left at four, doesn't that pretty much mean both me AND Atreyu would have taken you to the end? Like I said. Didn't want Rose out. I could beat her easier than Atreyu...

5. Did you really rely on final immunity? If so, you failed.

6. Or did you think they would take you to the end? If so, you failed.

Our relationship, Wes. God, I liked you. Everything I to,d you was true. I thought you were the biggest villain in the world until I met you. But when you and max came back, max had my loyalty over you. I would never have lasted without you. That's the truth. I wanted to save you. Thought about it a lot. But once max was out I knew I needed immunity to get to the end. And you were the one that kept it out of my hands.

And would I have forced the tie? You betcha. Would have forced it at 8. Would have forced it at 6. Absolutely.

Didn't want to force it at 4 because I didn't necessarily get anything from it.

But 8 and 6.... Yes yes yes.

All you had to say was flip the vote to Atreyu and I would have. Hell, I had no other option. :lol:

I was being truthful. I would have taken you to the final two at that point. Atreyu played me, so I was done with him.

Here's the thing about your game that differs from mine... I can trust people that screwed me, if their motives line up. Both you and me needed that vote to go down differently. I wish you would have told me to vote Atreyu.

Also, if I won immunity, I was forcing a tie. I knew something was wrong. We should have talked more.

My biggest question, and only one of them can answer it, is what they would have done if you didn't win immunity. They had a final three deal with both of us. It's possible they would have voted you out if you didn't win to take me to three so you couldn't win tonight. They did a good job of pitting us against each other, and that's why I talked to you all day about forcing a tie.

Hang on, in cas I missed the timing on your rose\atreyu question. Anything Dan would have done, I would have done. I didn't lock in with those two until Dan left.

I would have voted with you and Dan if you had said something. That was the ONE round I didn't make a big move. It was the round that screwed me. Dan came across as scrambling to me. Because I knew what he was saying to Rose and Atreyu as well as to me. I should have worked with him that round, but he made me paranoid. If you had said something, I would have made a move.

After that round, everything I sent you was real. I didn't want to vote you out. I knew I had to split those two up.

Laurie, I don't have any questions for you tonight. I'm wrung out, and I have to imagine that you are, too. But I did want to just say something real quick.

That Saturday night of my doom, I really wish you were around. If you had been there, my "meltdown" would never have happened. You had been my rock, the mooring lines that held me firmly to the dock. Trip hit me at just the right time, but I have no doubt in my mind that you would have only had to have said a dozen words to me, and none of that would have happened.

So, I want to thank you for being my best and truest friend in this game, and I SO look forward to meeting you when it's done.

Blood sugar plummeting. That's what I blame for my extreme sappiness right now. :)

1) From the first phase of the few days everyone could chat, and then during the three tribe phase..........who were your tightest allies and why?

The opening weekend - it was Adrian, Max and Daniel. Once on Krypton with Adrian leaving, it was Marion, Rose & Juliet

2) Who were you closest to on New Krypton? Did any of that time factor into the endgame for you?

Daniel, Daniel, Daniel. That's no secret at all. My friendship with Daniel is what caused me to move to the bottom and get my horrible reputation from Rose and Marion.

3) What was your strategy with the Final 8 Tribal Council where you opted to be voted out that night?

I really wanted to be voted out. I would gladly have gone to the jury. We had a drama free ending in sight and I knew that after that everything was going to go to hell. But I also knew it was a strategic play to show the others that if I stuck around and gave my word it meant something. It didn't quite work out the way I wanted, because I think it made me a good guy (gal)... And I wasn't going for that. But I knew if I wanted to survive past the next vote I had to do something big.

Dude, Trip. Dan and I both tried to get you with us. I remember sending Dan a message that you were a no-go... I'll have to refresh my memory on that. But he and I had ALL options open then. But nobody wanted Dan or I together either.

Fuck me. I'm pretty sure Laurie approached me about going to you with everything, and I told her not to because I thought you would see Laurie and I as even more of a pair that you needed to break up.

There's no such thing as a "drama free ending". People shouldn't be playing for 5th and Trip wasn't playing for you or Max or Apollo or Dan. There's always a power structure, and it's never going to be easy combining people otherwise.

Love you Max! It's all good.

Actually - all you guys are pretty fricking amazing.

I just would rather be over there, wouldn't we all!
