Wanted to do a video bc too lazy to type.



Opening: 0:00 - 0:30
AJ: 0:30 - 2:16
Knox: 2:16 - 3:08
Thiago: 3:08 - 4:08
Closing: 4:08 - 5:11

Additional Questions & Comments I forgot:
Thiago:
I think the beauty of this game is that people you vote out translate to Jury votes in the end. Were you ever consciously thinking about your relationships with everyone else as you were voting them out? We didn't talk until after I was voted out, so based on actions, I'm inclined to think this is a no. Try to prove to me otherwise.

Everyone: What do you think your overall edgic will be?

[aj]

Hey, Luca! Thanks for the video.

I will tell you, and I’m being 100% honest, our relationship was completely genuine. We had kind of a heated conversation the night you got voted out, and honestly, after that conversation I came to the conclusion that you just wanted to be done with me forever. You basically told me right then that you thought I was fake, so I assumed that you’d push away any further attempt from me to be your friend. That’s why Beyoncé and Elisabeth stopped sending you messages. If you already thought I was a fake person, I thought that any attempt to try to prove you wrong while you’re on the jury and I’m still playing would come across as me sucking up to you, which is the last thing I wanted. So I decided to wait it out, and mend things with you after this game.

I enjoyed talking to you so much for the past few months. I was being genuine when I would ask you to log on in the morning to talk to me and things like that. I will tell you that I was genuinely hurt when you said some of those things to me the night you were voted out. I remember I was on G-Hang with Cassie and I literally just stopped speaking because I was in shock. After that, I knew you were busy with your other games and figured I would be the last person you wanted to hear from was me.

I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that our friendship before this was genuine. However, the only way I can really prove that to you will be after this game is over. After games are over, a lot of people move on and keep in touch with very few if any of the people they played with. I’m not one of those people. And there’s no way I’m going to forget about you after this game, whether you vote for me to win or not.

Ranking you guys in how much I like you guys? I’m sorry, but I really feel like that has nothing to do with the game. This is not me just trying to avoid the question so I don’t hurt anyone’s feelings, but if you guys are voting strategically, it shouldn’t matter. Furthermore, I really feel like it’s hard to “compare” one friendship to the other once you have mature relationships with people. I can rank them in terms of how close I was to them on a strategic level, or if you want it personal, we can do another game like a “positive” and “negative” about everyone or I could assess how my relationship has evolved with each person since I met them. Let me know, but I don’t think ranking in terms of how much I like everyone does anything but resurface middle school flashbacks.

I actually appreciate your 3rd question, because this is something I’ve been wanting to address. When I made friends during season 4 and 5, it was absolutely not strategy in the slightest. I always had all stars in the back of my mind, but not in a “muahahaha I’m going to have so many friends and win” way, it was like a “oh no, I’m going into all stars liking too many people.” However, I enjoyed talking and getting to know you guys, and I didn’t think an upcoming game should get in the way of that. Absolutely nothing was strategy on my part; in fact, the couple weeks before this game started, I tried to unplug myself from GvsE world to ensure that I wouldn’t start playing the game early.

I absolutely think that I could have made it here without all those friends. In fact, other than Cassie, I didn’t even talk much before the game with the people I ended up working with. I knew Knox and Henry from iSurv1vor, but didn’t talk with them much, and I met Thiago and Mark briefly in season 5 but didn’t talk to them until this game. However, it was you, Ellen, Ben and Dominic that I was skyping with so often. And Selena and I texted all the time. I had more people’s phone numbers from your side than my own! The other people I knew, Annie, Hannah and Michael, were voted out before I got a chance to even play with them. So I didn’t actually end up playing this game with the people who I talked to regularly before this season. But if I didn’t know a single person before this game at all (with the exception of the season 3 people), I still think I would have made it here, because I do believe I have a good social game.

If I had to compare myself to a Survivor Finalist/Player, I would choose Stephenie LaGrossa. She was lovable her first season, which is why people had to vote her out. However, she came back a second time and gave people a totally different perception. She played hard, made it to the end, but wasn’t nearly as liked, and I think surprised a lot of people.

If I were to compare myself to a Survivor winner, I would choose Sophie Clarke. In terms of gameplay, I think I played similar to her. We both had a solid group that we were positioned well in, but also was never directly targeted by the others. Also, in final tribal council, she took a lot of heat for coming across as too blunt and not getting to know others, but I find this interesting because I think I’m the direct opposite. I think I’m taking more heat for actually having a lot of relationships, but not being aware of things I did that might have made it seem like I was abusing that.

EDIT: Oops! Forgot your last question. I would guess that my overall edgic would be maybe MORP? I think I probably was CP towards the end, but MOR for most of the premerge and early merge. I'm not all that familiar with the edgic system so maybe I'm totally off, but that would be my guess.

Thanks for the questions, Luca.

[knox]

Hi Luca! Thank you so much for the kind words, I am really glad to hear it's totally not windsided. And I appreciate your kind words.

Up to your question... I did have a strategy all along, I think in a game as divided as this it's really hard for strategy to shine as everyone was voting as a block, and like many people have mentioned a lot of it was luck. Being able to play the idols on the right person, while there was logic behind it, I think it was a lot of luck.

I tried to think strategically all along, at the beginning of the game I came with a big disadvantage. You know I missed the first challenge and I have zero connections on our tribe, I had to play up my social game and make sure I would be safe. The first round I didn't have too much power seeing how you guys were so set on Emily going, I do remember trying to make a case for booting Perry since I knew I could have used Em further down the line. You guys promised me that he would go next if I voted out Emily, so I went for it.

I was always really bad in challenges, as you may remember. But I knew how to play to my other strengths, socially and strategically make you and Ellen feel comfortable with me. During the Hannah vote, I tried to make a power move which clearly backfired but it was an attempt at strategy which I am sure you can admit would have benefited my game had you left as it would have kept Hannah who was the Ellen to my Luca.

When Chase and company were trying to divide the vote, I was very adamant about how stupid it was for them to split the votes and telling them over and over how Dominic and Selena would not be on their side. Of course their plan backfired and they started getting decimated. But strategically I was ahead of them because I was well aware of the positions in the game.

I knew a lot of information in the game, which I kept for myself. People loved sharing information with me, which if need be I could have used to gain some leverage. But I was waiting for the right time to exploit that information, the time just never came because as we both know my side ended on top and at that point the options were limited.

Like I have mentioned before the Wendy vote was my idea. I won't go into any more detail as I have talked about it before and I don't want to bore everyone with the same story, over and over again. Though if you want me to I can. I think I was always very aware of my position in the game. I never sold myself short like other people because it was not needed, people were already understimating me. I didn't have to tell people how much I sucked or how awful I was at stuff, because I had the social game to back myself up. I can say that I made genuine connections with everyone I spoke to, one way or the other.

I always had a plan in case things did not go my way. I explained my strategy had my side been down in numbers in Colleen's thread. But I was always thinking and always making sure I had my voice heard in every decision made. Sometimes it didn't work out, of course, as I was out-voted by the rest of my alliance; one clear example of this is when I wanted Ben gone over Colleen, I knew Ben was a bigger threat and my connection with Colleen was stronger, so I wanted her in the game. People thought it would be more obvious for Ben to receive the idol so we voted Colleen, however we could have easily voted Ben and it would have worked as well. So, I was not just unaware of where the idol could fall or anything, I was simply out-voted.

I really pushed hard for the Ellen vote as well, and I was constantly pushing to take out the bigger threat and for our alliance to take risks. I definitely think that you can't play Survivor without taking risks, and I was willing to do that. Sadly for me, the way the game worked out did not let my strategy show as much because it was so cut and dry. I didn't go behind people's back to make rumors, but I never needed to, I didn't use people and pit them against each other because once again it was not needed. I have always felt that in Survivor doing too much is almost worst than doing too little as it shows your cards early. I would like to think people always knew where I stood, but that didn't stop them from coming to me to talk strategy or to try and sway me and just talk in general, which shows a good balance of social and startegic game as despite being on different sides people from the "other side" liked talking to me and didn't just ignore me for the most part.

I think that it's a little harder to see my strategy as well when I was far more emotional than my adversaries sitting at the Final Three. I feel like I have a lot of layers that were kind of covered under this whole "emotional" kind of personality I have. But I did think strategically, and I did do what I had to do to make it here. I never relied on winning challenges or on unnecesarely backstabing and plotting, because it was not needed. What benefit would I have gained from trying to create a rift between you and Ellen for example? [not like that would have happened] Nothing at all! If anything it would have made me look shady and people would have stopped trying to talk to me and seek me out. The sides were cemented since the jury started, everyone knew where everyone stood, me trying to pretend like I was on the outs would have just been an insult to you guys' intelligence and it would not have created any game benefit for me.

Hopefully that answers your question. Let me know if you need further clarification or want anything else from me. I will answer the Survivors and Edgic part in a little bit. I need to give that a little more thought [especially because my knowledge of Edgic blows chunks]

[thiago]

Hey Luca, thanks for your question.

I just wanted to clarify that in my opening I didn't state that I had every person fooled, at least not until the swap where people who ended up being in an alliance with me dropped their guard with me. I would be delusional to think that I could reverse my reputation in a matter of days. If I thought I had the other alliance fooled at all I would have continued playing both sides the whole way. Ellen continually called me out and I knew I had no shot at fooling your group.

I also have to say that yes, the AJ vs. Ellen dynamic helped my game, and I definitely took advantage of it and placed myself in the middle of the two sides, so I’m no saint in that respect, but luck plays a factor in every game and I don’t think that it should be viewed as a negative for me when both my opponents allowed the division to get the best of them at many times during the game when strategically it did not serve them best, e.g. Knox and AJ trying to vote you off the round Hannah left. Once the F5 hit that dynamic was gone and I no longer had that to shield myself. I made the right moves at the right time, and didn't need to make a move for the sake of making a move during the Ellen VS. AJ dynamic; it was much more advantageous for me to let that run its course and be patient with my decision making.

I think the beauty of this game is that people you vote out translate to Jury votes in the end. Were you ever consciously thinking about your relationships with everyone else as you were voting them out? We didn't talk until after I was voted out, so based on actions, I'm inclined to think this is a no. Try to prove to me otherwise.

I was always conscious of how people were being put on the jury. My reputation coming into this was a big hindrance at the start, but I also didn’t want it to hinder me at the finish. Once your alliance was gone, people were going to have to decide who they wanted in the end, and I didn’t want AJ, Cassie, Knox, or Henry taking me out because of my reputation as a winner. Instead, I began arguing with jurors when they left in a public forum (Dominic always asked why I didn’t take it to private IM, and this is precisely why). This is always a risky strategy that I may still pay for but I think it was one of my only strategies to get here and I can only hope that people recognize it as a strategy and nothing personal, but I accept the consequences either way.

Regarding our relationship, when I used to play games, and this was the rule last season too, cross-tribal chatting was not allowed. To me, it seems fishy when someone from another tribe tries to talk to you. Me and you were on a tribe for 2 rounds total and at that point the lines were clearly drawn, so for me to talk to you and try and get to know you it would, at least in my opinion, seem fake and disingenuous. One could argue that we were on a tribe for 2 rounds so we could have at least talked, but our schedules were very different. I don’t think I ever saw you online at the same time as me (I was always online due to my phone, but I wasn’t always there). I work from 8-5 six days per week and go to bed early as I have to be up at 6, so I think you may have been a night owl and this is why we were rarely online at the same time.

What do you think your overall edgic will be?

I'm kind of an Edgic dork and did Edgic during this season, which is something I did last season also. This is what I have:

I hope this suffices. Please let me know if you need anything more. Thanks for your question

[henry]

Korea* Is this why you asked me this question yesterday Thiago?

[thiago]

I asked you around dinnertime yesterday, well before Luca even posted his questions. We had discussed this a couple times during the game so this wasn't new information I was fishing for. I guess a genuine ask of how you're doing is not appropriate? I know that you were excited about your boyfriend's return. Both of our boyfriends were away during the game (mine was in Japan, I thought it was the same place, my bad). Anyway, thanks for the clarification.

[knox]

Dear Thiag:
I don't get erections during storms, I get turned on, there's a huge difference.
Also, that is EXTREMELY personal and I am very pissed off that you would share something like that when you know a lot of other stuff to say about me. It's humiliating and uncalled for.
Fuck you,
Knox/Alex

[thiago]

Oh, I apologize, I didn't realize how private it was given Dominic referenced it in his question. I thought it was cute!

he’s a virgin

[LuCat]

AJ: I totally understand your point of view on the ranking question. I like the positive/negative about everyone. That will totally suffice.

Knox: Just need player/edgic comparison

Thiago:
You're an atmospheric science major (Off a switch from English)
You work in a language school as an administrator.
You are Canadian, and live in the Toronto area
You love Pandas and Koalas
You're gay, and have been in a committed relationship for a while now.

No, but seriously. Only thing I still need from you is the Survivor winner/finalist/player comparison.

[LuCat]

@meow: Oooh scandalous. Sounds like someone's got some dirty dirty gossip.

[thiago]

Oh I forgot about that one

I'm not completely sure if this is what you meant, but I'm assuming you want a comparison to a winner, a runner-up, and a non finalist, and by "overlaps" being allowed, you mean for example you could choose Parvati in S13, S16, and S20 as she was a winner, runner up, and a non-finalist and it would work.

Here are my comparisons for this season:

WINNER: John Cochran S26; I think we both played a quieter game during the pre-merge, and became a leader during the second half of the merge and dictated the course of the game. We were both on the winning "side" of the game and picked the other side off but were never viewed as the leader of the opposing alliance and were often approached to flip sides during the course of the season, but never did because we knew we would make it to the end with the alliance we were in because of the control that we had over the people surrounding us.

RUNNER-UP: Danielle DiLorenzo in S12, oddly enough. I think socially she wasn't that strong, and rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, although in her case I think it was not as intentional (bless her soul) as it was for me. She was able to rally people when she needed to, and maneuvered her way into an oddball alliance. At the end of the game, she became the swing vote every round and surprised a lot of people by making the end.

NON-FINALIST: Erinn Lobdell in S18. She was always viewed as someone her tribe just couldn't trust, and early on, if her tribe had not won so much, she luckily would have been an early casualty. However, come the merge, other targets became centre stage and she was able to slowly work behind the scenes until it was time to make her moves. No one expected her to make it as deep as she did, and she was kept over Taj because she was such a non-jury threat (although I don't think this was intentional on her part, either, like it was for me) and would have made the end had JT not decided to play with loyalty.


Also, I'm really impressed with what you know about me! I guess this must have been when you were a PW last season and we had a couple chats? I now recall you just finishing your first year of science and taking some similar courses as me. I'm surprised so touché! Thanks and let me know if you needed anything else from me.

[knox]

Hey Luca! Sorry this took so long, like you know I was drinking last night and I didn't want to half-ass it.

Anyways, I had a really hard time with this question for multiple reasons. First I am awful with edgic, normally I get OTT stuff so that's my main reference, but I don't think this time I was very OTT so I had to find out the difference between MOR and CP. From what I found out [and feel free to correct me, Luca, MOR is kinda more boring and toneless while CP kinda fluctuates. Ultimately I chose to go with CPP I think my personality was up and down every round, sometimes I was super nice and bubbly, others I was emotional, trainwreckish and whiny, and others I was just loud, mean and obnoxious. However, I think after the whole Selena-gate I was able to pull myself together and become a more "P" kind of character as I tried to make sure I was no longer being perceived as a mean or as a bully. Hopefully that makes sense and I didn't just completely massacre what edgic is haha

For players... it was once again kind of hard. I am very knowledgeable about Survivor, I am definitely a huge fan and I know how to appreciate the story-arcs of players even when they don't last long. Some of my favorite players happen to be pre-merges, but when trying to think of someone to compare myself to I was drawing blanks because I don't think my story-arc and the way I played really relates to many players in the show and there is not one shoe-in but here is what I could come up with:

Winner: I honestly had a very hard time picking a winner, it is clear to me now that there has never been a winner in the show who I can compare myself to in terms of this particular season. I went through the list mentally all last night and this morning and I was very unsatisfied, I almost picked Jenna because of her story across the series, but I think you want us to pick a winner for a single season so I settled with: Tina Weeson. I think coming into the game she had a slight disadvantage seeing how she was an older woman and her tribe was full of much more athletic people, she however had a killer social game and managed to place herself in a comfortable place. Even with members of Kucha [when the merge hit] she managed to create solid relationships. She played a relatively clean game, though as we all know you can't get to the end without doing something somewhat slimy. Anyways I pick Tina because she played an amazing social game, she was nice to the other players and she was strategic without being over-bearing about it

Runner-up/Finalist:[/b] Lisa Welchel, without the whole religious angle, of course. I chose Lisa because I think she played a fantastic game, as a strategist she was often underrated and people didn't really realize that she was playing strategically because she showed so much emotion and had such a roller-coaster kind of ride. But she was key in most votes, she had this conflict between morality and strategy which I think I went through a lot of times, especially when I was considering the Henry vote at F4 [which didn't end happening due to his impeding blindside, but yeah]. Lisa coming into the FTC was disregarded due to her emotion and because people refused to see the strategist behind the character. I think she grew a lot during her experience and like-wise I grew a lot during this game and even this Final Judgement.

Over-all Character: Jessica "Sugar" Kiper I was between her, Ami and Jenna Morasca who actually happen to be people I have compared myself to in the past. I ultimately chose Sugar over them because unlike Jenna she didn't win her first season [or quit] and unlike Ami she didn't come into her second season as a huge player but more as a character. My comparison to this kind of players is very simple, in their original season they were all viewed as bullies, mean, harsh or just dicks in general. When they came back they had a huge change, often displaying their emotions and kind of surprising people as they were supposed to be these huge tough people. Sugar showed that she knew strategy during her first season so we all know she knew it, she was way too emotional during HvV and she got booted fast. My comparison is obviously very lose but it's more in terms of the story-arc her and the other two women I chose and how it went.

Hope that helps, let me know if you need anything else!
