Bret's Jury Response

[Bret]

Kanga, Taylor - congratulations. You've accomplished what 14 of us could not, which is end up in the Final 2.

It has been a long, boring, repetitive, seven-fucking-posting-challenges, and easy game. Now, I bet your wondering why I use the word easy when I'm not in the finals. Simple - nothing happened in this game. No drama, no politics, no deals, nothing.

Which brings me to you, Kanga Welcome to the game. We haven't spoken but once this entire adventure, and I just wanted to say Hello! Nice to meet you. I hope you enjoyed your adventure.

KANGA,
in your own words (meaning, don't ask Kyle or Allen to inform you what to do, for once) please tell me the names of 6 Jurors that deserve your spot over you. Then please name that one Juror who you feel doesn't deserve your spot, and why.

Taylor, 'ol buddy. I rode you like a surfer rides a wave. I expected nothing from you, and expected to go home every TC since the merge. Thank you, for getting me as far as you did. You made smart plays, tough decisions, and game-changing moments. Here's my dilemma. You made great plays in an otherwise boring season. I don't feel like you stand out as a true winner, because if we were comparing this to the real-world Survivor. You would be the Richard Hatch of the All-Star cast. Good, but not great.

TAYLOR
I fully expected to be voted out in the F4. But, what was the point of you lying to me that I was safe, when I KNEW I was going home? I'm all about manipulation when it's necessary, but it was a pointless lie.

TAYLOR
why Kanga? Feel like he's an easy beat? Because you destroyed Allen - and I would've worked with him if I knew you weren't going to take him to the F2. You mentioned in your Journal that you accidently posted in a public thread of your alliance with him from Day 1 - why the change of heart.


BOTH
The strongest alliance in this game was not Allen and Taylor - but instead, me and Donna. I admit Donna was a much better player than I was, but my strategy was to appear like I didn't care as much as others - so I would be dismissed. If you don't respect it, it's not my concern, as it's won me other games. So, if it was a Final Four of Donna, Taylor, Allen, and myself - tell me how you think the game would've gone down.

Either way, congratulations again. I am not bitter, and hold the utmost respect for you both. Just like giving you a hard time

TAYLOR
I fully expected to be voted out in the F4. But, what was the point of you lying to me that I was safe, when I KNEW I was going home? I'm all about manipulation when it's necessary, but it was a pointless lie.

I knew this was going to come back to haunt me. Honestly, I considered it. I love making dramatic moves. I liked the deal you gave me about promising me final 2 if you won immunity. I was going to change my vote from "Bret" to "Kanga".. but then I had second thoughts. I knew you were a good player. What if you managed to get Kanga to vote against me. You even said this to me:

dreamZinbetween (1:08:16 PM): Well, here's my thought - I weighed my options with Allen to get a feel. He's concerned about "hurting people's feelings."
dreamZinbetween (1:08:36 PM): He said he would convince Kanga to vote for you, and I would vote for you, and he would vote me, expecting you to vote Kanga.
dreamZinbetween (1:08:56 PM): While deceptive, I doub't it would work.

If that was true, you could have lied about voting Kanga and just voted me instead, blindsiding me. I realized that I played a perfect game up to the final 4, so why risk making a big mistake that far in. Also, my conscience told me I need to stay loyal to Allan. I made a promise to you about voting Kanga, and ended up going back on my word. I honestly felt horrible. Not because I voted you out (it got me to the finals), but because I got your hopes up and then crushed them. And it wasn't even the first time I did that. I did it to James too when it was either you or him going home. Those are the 2 moments in the game where I would go back in time and change what I said.

TAYLOR
why Kanga? Feel like he's an easy beat? Because you destroyed Allen - and I would've worked with him if I knew you weren't going to take him to the F2. You mentioned in your Journal that you accidently posted in a public thread of your alliance with him from Day 1 - why the change of heart.

There was no change of heart. Allan and I were 1 brain this whole game. We told each other everything including deals we made with others, who would be smartest to vote off, who can be trusted etc. I always stuck by his side the whole game and it is one of the main reasons we were so dominant. But once I got to the final 3 and won immunity.. I knew I made it as far as a player can go. There was no need for Allan and I to work together anymore. I honestly think Allan is more deserving of being here next to me, but I played this game to win, and I know that going up against Allan could have been suicide. We worked together as 1 brain, but he stood out much more than I did with all those immunity challenge wins.

I admit Donna was a much better player than I was, but my strategy was to appear like I didn't care as much as others - so I would be dismissed.

I knew that you and Donna were a strong alliance. You being the STRONGEST alliance could be argued, but maybe it is true. The reason Donna was voted out was because Allan and I knew how tight you 2 were, and we knew Donna was a strong player. This may sound cruel, but I feared that the alliance of you and Donna would turn against us, and one of the reasons I wanted Donna gone was so you would feel powerless, thus having to rely on me much more. I wanted to be your main ally.

If it was a Bret, Donna, Taylor, Allan final 4, it would be hard to say what would have happened in the game, because my strategy would have been changed dramatically. If you and Donna were in the final 2, I honestly don't think me and Allan would have been there. We are both power alliances, and I think it is a either or kinda thing. Either you 2 were in the final 4 or me and Allan were in the final 4. But I will try to predict what would have happed from the merge:

Andrew voted out
Kyle voted out
Kirin voted out
Kanga voted out

F4: Bret, Donna, Allan, Taylor

I can't say how the rest of the game would have gone from there though. It would all depend on how the game would have played out, and who won immunity. Chances are that the first vote would have been 2-2, but who knows.

Anyway, I tried to answer your questions the best I could. I hope you got what you needed from it. Thanks for helping make this game fun by being one of the few to actually think for yourself and try to scheme to save your own ass. Because like you said.. in a sense, the game was kind of easy.

[Bret]

Thanks Taylor

KANGA,

----Lol i'll try bret!
(and i think it's spelled allan! but i wont ask him i promise)
I believe that...

MAIN!(well what i believe coming from my eyez)
DONNA--- she was definatly a fun, kind, loving person that i know was playing the game hard... she was crazy at challenges and she was definatly well adored by many including myself! Which was the reasons obviously of her departure
ALLAN--- challenge winner assumed obviously but a very well rounded person who could manipulate people into doing what they wanted to do no doubt
ANDREW--- Geez la weize he was definatly working people it didn't come off to well obviously but he definatly had potential and creditation for attempting to win this game!
..............................................................................................................
BRET
KIRIN
JAMES
..............................

The person that i believe dosn't....
KYLE--- inactivity is one thing for a short while but some of us who were still played this game with integertiy! kyle you were definatly sneaking around not even really trying to manipulate people you just kind of lied and ran away! i mean yes lieing is part of the game but you did it so..ummm.. unslyly? lol if that makes sense! so that is why i think that he dosn't deserve to be here!

OH TUFFY! oh is this like before or after let's do the after kk =)
okay well let's see the person that would have probably won immunity would be Donna i would almost say because i mean allan was good but i think donna would have chipped er in der!
i believe that it would then be Allan voted out!(i believe taylor would have switched to think that he would have benefited himself)
the next game donna wins!
TAYLOR killed!
and the final two, bret and donna the winner would most likely be donna who wins!

[Bret]

Lock it up, bitches. Thanks Taylor and Kanga. Good luck on the finale.
