Tara and Tyreese

[Carl]

Tyreese, you said something along the lines of "nothing happens in this game without my word" or something along those lines... which is a crock of shit, if you ask me. 

Pretty sure I pulled the trigger on Shane, when everyone wanted to vote Andrea... I orchestrated Daryl, when once again, everyone wanted Andrea. We got Michonne out after I coached Tara through the alignment of her pro board clock and computer clock. So I wouldnt go as far as saying nothing happened without your word... whatever the hell that means. You lied to everyone... I mean, I guess it was worth it because you got to where you are tonight but is it really worth it? You aren't going to win...

So my question to you... are you really an egotistical tool or do you want to retract your statement and try again? 

Tara, even though I am not really sure what you did besides ride our coat tails because obviously the shots were called by myself and occasionally Ty, you will most likely win this game. 

So my question to you... describe your game to me... the behind the scenes stuff that I didn't see... because obviously, I dont really think you did much. 

For both of you -

Replace yourselves with TWO people from the jury who you feel deserve the final 2 spots in this series and provide a 5  sentence paragraph on why each belongs in the final 2.

I guess it was worth it because you got to where you are tonight but is it really worth it? You aren't going to win...
Like I said to you in that last TC thread: That's fine. I'm still not 100% sure you're right, but if you are, feel free to say I told you so. I had a lot of fun talking to everyone in this game, and I'm sure you guys think I'm a heartless jerk, but honestly having fun and enjoying people is just as important to me as winning. If it were up to me, I wouldn't have to vote anybody out, but this game would go on way too long if that were the case.

are you really an egotistical tool or do you want to retract your statement and try again?
Let me elaborate: Everything that happened in this game was in the control of me and the people who had my best interests in mind when they were making decisions. A more accurate statement I guess would be "I had myself in a position where I was rarely facing danger of any kind." Better?

GLEN - A lot of people viewed Glen as a potential goat, and he even asked me if he was a goat at final 4, but Glen would have gotten my jury vote over anybody post-merge. I spent a long time after the merge running scenarios with Glen about what we should do, and I got to see his fantastic feel for the game along with his ability to make the hard decisions that could make him the sole survivor. Although he was somewhat weak in challenges, he was a smart guy who was always well-liked and could have been surprisingly dangerous against anyone in this FTC. He was great at reading through what people were saying and what it meant for his game in the long-term. Finally, in the final four, he was the only one who stayed with the solid plan of voting me out, the move that was best for his (and your) game.

Michonne - Michonne was in control of a strong tribe pre-swap. She was never getting voted off pre-merge and would have been guaranteed final 7 at least. Even when down, she showed an absurd amount of fight and continued to try to keep herself alive despite overwhelming odds. Her challenge prowess was ridiculous, and when she goomba-stomped me in the Pit challenge, I have to admit I was kind of rooting for her a little bit. Despite everyone calling Tara an underdog, I think Michonne was the ultimate underdog post-merge and would have DESTROYED anyone in this FTC vote (seriously, I think it would've been 6-1 or 7-0 against anybody).

describe your game to me... the behind the scenes stuff that I didn't see... because obviously, I dont really think you did much.

My tribe at the start was pretty much non-existent, thanks to you. I was sort of the leader over there, trying to motivate and inspire people. But it seemed like a losing battle. I never did give up fighting though. I knew that if I wanted a chance to survive long-term, that I'd have to reach out to people on the other tribe. Tyreese and I would talk often and I'd mentioned how I had nobody, which was mostly true, even though I had a couple people (Maggie, Hershel). During immunity challenge 2, I wanted people to see that I was not inactive like the majority of my tribe, so that if they needed someone to take the numbers advantage later on, I would be available. Ultimately that's what happened. But you know that.

I had a conversation with Glen, during the tribe swap. He had no idea that he was essentially being "interviewed" for a spot on my new tribe. I got a good feel for the kind of person Glen was, and wanted to nab him as well as Tyreese. Michonne and I had a rapport and I feel a mutual respect for each other because of being such competitors. I did actually listen to what she was telling me, even though I was never sure how much I could trust it. But I was going to stick to my guns regardless and ride it out with the boys because I'm loyal like that. Her intel about the idol was correct though.

I reached out to Shane probably earlier than I did anyone else, commenting on his signature, because who doesn't love a good crotch grab? haha We talked for a little bit, and I hoped that he'd remember me if we landed on the same tribe once the game started. It may not seem like much, but I put a lot of effort into surviving this game, including giving 100% in every challenge. Whenever I could take control of my fate, I would. But I was willing to relinquish control at times too, if it meant that certain people would trust me more. I did little things to try and better my position for the future, I didn't need to make big flashy moves such as  playing an idol, or a vote nullifier or flipping on my original tribe. It sucks when you're on the wrong end of those things. Besides, I had other people to do that for me.

When we got to the merge, I had to take a sort of backseat role, instead of being center of attention since I could have been a very easy boot. Yes, I was happy to hide behind the Carl/Michonne feud, if it meant nobody was going to vote for me. Yes, Carl you assisted me with the clock alignment that helped me to take out Michonne in that challenge, just like we helped you win in the end. It was a group effort, and I was happy to agree to let you have the win, so that you felt like you could trust me more.

When we came down to final 4, I was conflicted because I knew that you and Glen wanted to take out Tyreese, but then I would be concerned for myself the following round. There was no way either of you would take me over each other no matter what you said. I went to Tyreese to let him know there was a big chance that he was leaving without actually saying the words lol. This in turn, caused him to offer me the deal that he did. He reiterated it a couple of times for good measure, and even said that I didn't have to take him to the end if I won, which I wasn't planning to do. I'd have 2/3 shot at making finals. It sounded to good to be true, but I decided to take the risk. And here we are now.


Replace yourselves with TWO people from the jury who you feel deserve the final 2 spots in this series and provide a 5 sentence paragraph on why each belongs in the final 2.

1) Michonne:
No doubt about it, this warrior woman came to play! She was a tough cookie and gave her all in every challenge. Once she realized she was in trouble, she had tried to play the people in my alliance against each other, which I respect. She was social, and had good relationships with people for a time. I like that she and Andrea were so close, like in the tv series, and how she tried to downplay it.

2) Carl:
Chaos Carl didn't seem like much at the start. As the game progressed, he became a viable option to win. Carl would do whatever was necessary to advance and I knew how badly he wanted to win. He was not afraid to piss people off and was willing to take chances and to try to control every situation. Even though he wasn't everyone's favourite, he did survive a few votes where his name came up.
