Andrea's Glory Spot Question! (Glen go away)

[Andrea]

Sorry Glen ain't happening.

 Congrats to both of you!

Tyreese:

I love you so much! You were the ONLY person to reach out to me and explain things after the big backstab and it definitely is in my mind during this vote!  

1. Do you think taking Tara to the end will cost you the game? 
2. You told me at Final 5, just before the vote that you know that Tara and Glen plan to take Carl as an easy beat... If this was the case... Knowing you could've used my vote at the time, don't you think you could've used me or were you just going to take 4th at that point? 

Tara:

Congratulations! It's actually kinda impressive how you managed to make it to the end being the last one standing from your original tribe.

1. Do you think you should've spent more time getting to know the members of the jury more? Or were you that confident in your game that you would make it to the end and just win?
2. Why do you deserve to win over Tyreese?

Thanks for the comments, Andrea.

1. Do you think you should've spent more time getting to know the members of the jury more? Or were you that confident in your game that you would make it to the end and just win?

Do you mean in a personal sense? If so, this is probably one of my biggest faults, because my mind is usually only on the game, and that's mostly all I want to talk about. Even though this is the internet and nobody knows the face behind Tara, I really am a private person in real life and I don't like to talk about myself a lot. Because I'm of that mindset, I don't usually ask people a lot of stuff about themselves outside of the game either. That's a flimsy excuse, but it's the truth. I always think the jury should vote for the person who they think played the best game anyway (whatever their criteria is), not who they were better friends with.

If you're talking game-wise, I did talk to people who were interested in talking to me. I remember leaving you messages on aim to try to get some conversation going early on, especially during and after the second challenge (the one where I could not get in that kitchen, or the armoury, or the watch tower ), and I didn't always get a reply. It's possible that you never got them, but to me it looked like you didn't care to talk. And post-merge, when you'd talk to me, it seemed like it was only out of convenience. For example, the round when you were going to play an idol, and were acting defeated, asking me to vote for you, etc all the while knowing you were going to stay. And Michonne would tell me that you were plotting against me while trying to get a girls alliance together. So you can see how it would look from my point of view, in you felt that I wasn't interested in talking with you. I was confident in my game, but I never thought I'd get the automatic win just for making it to the end. I expected a tough battle with Tyreese, which is why I would have dropped him if I had won the final challenge since I had already fulfilled my end of our deal.

2. Why do you deserve to win over Tyreese?

In short:

-I may not have been as social with everyone (I did have less time to develop those relationships mind you), but I was social with the right people.
-I was an underdog for almost the whole game.
-I never had a vote cast against me.
-I didn't have to back-stab anyone.
-I took risks, and that included putting my trust in (and sticking with) my core alliance when they had known each other longer than I had, and in the final 3 deal that I had with Tyreese.
-wasn't in control all the time, but didn't need to be.
-put together (mostly) the team that made final 4 together.
-won the same number of challenges as Tyreese post-merge.
-eliminated Michonne from the challenge the round she was voted out.
-last remaining member of the original Prison tribe.

Thanks Andrea!

Thanks Andrea.

1. Do you think taking Tara to the end will cost you the game?
I think it'll cost me some votes, but I think I can still pull out a win. It's way more entertaining this way, right?

2. You told me at Final 5, just before the vote that you know that Tara and Glen plan to take Carl as an easy beat... If this was the case... Knowing you could've used my vote at the time, don't you think you could've used me or were you just going to take 4th at that point?
Well at that point, I would've needed to grab another person to swing a majority. I didn't think that was possible. And I most certainly did not think I was taking 4th at that point. I thought that I could squeeze my way to the end no matter what happened, and it turns out I was right.
