Erik's Questions

[Erik Cardona]

Alright you three, I have a lot of questions I expect either to be answered or well... answered. I've thought about them carefully and swallowing my pride I 'am' going to give one of the three of you my vote for winning Survivor: Samoa. It may very well depend on the way you answer me here or not.

First we have Jaison;

Boy oh boy, Jaison... the guy who I supposedly had an alliance with but was back-stabbed and blindsighted when I actually would have upheld to my end of the deal. I never would have voted you guys out, I would have went to the Final Four with you then allow us to see what happens. But you decided to take a more sinister -yet effective- route... I applaud you for making it to the finals because back-stabbing is something past winners had to do to get to where they were for sure, but I want to know...

Do you feel like you did enough to win Samoa? The time that I have known you, you kept to the shadows and didn't really make any power-plays until voting off me and winning immunity recently. Do you feel that you deserve to win this game?

Also I would like you to say one good thing and one bad thing about Natalie and Mick and the way they got here. Try to convince me that the way you played the game was overall more successful and that I, Erik Cardona, should give you my vote.

Now to Natalie;

I do respect you as a person but in terms of game-play you as well blindsighted me and ran me over. I admit in terms of who I was planning on voting off you would have been after Ben & Mick if things went alright (and if that was going to be the best move at the time) because I saw you as a threat and a potential winner if making it to the finals but eh... still, you DID blindside me and I never got to doing the same so it is what it is.

You're potentially the favorite to win this game, overall I feel you did do more than Jaison and Mick did and put yourself out there on a limb. I would like to know why you decided to vote me off when at the time we did have an alliance. Also I would like to know why you feel you deserve to win this game.

And just like above I would like you to say one good thing and one bad thing about Mick and Jaison and the way they got here.

Lastly we have Mick;

Really I don't know you at all. I don't know your game-play and all you DID tell me was that you had an alliance and I am still curious as to who your alliance was -or if it was a bluff-. You didn't actually screw me over because we never did have a firm deal with one another but eh... still a bit peeved that you voted me out. Hey you can't help emotion sometimes.

Overall people probably see you as the one who did the least to get here and was a floater. Do you feel that you did enough to be crowned the winner of Samoa? Do you feel that the floater strategy should be acknowledged and that we should throw you a few votes because of utilizing it successfully.

Also just like the two above I would like you to say one good thing and one bad thing about Jaison and Natalie and the way they got here.


Thank you for answering these questions guys... congrats for getting here to the finals. Obviously I would have prefered myself being here but it is what it is, can't help these things sometimes.

PS: I'm not REALLY as mad as I seem to be. I'm happy to have even made it this far... I just wish I got further.

[Mick Trimming]

Ok first of all i did talk to u and i tell u the trust u came to me and u told me that u didn't feel safe and i told u that i was going to try to help u every time i could cause i already had my own alliance , my alliance was Ben , mike , Betsy , jaison , Natalie,

Before u left i was going to keep u but the day before Monica win immunity and she save me and i felt really good cause she did that and she didn't even know me as well , so i try to pay her back and i safe her , anyways sorry if u feel bad cause i voted for u

U know i really don't want people to think that i didn't do nothing because i really do a lot and the people from my alliance knew that i was always talking with them about new strategy from the game , and i definitely try hard in challenges but yeah i didn't win, but i don't think that jaison and natalie won all the challenges neither , but i know they try hard and they did good . I think that the one who try the most was monica cause i didn't though she was going to make it so far

No to tell u the true i don't think that people should vote for floaters , and i'm sorry i don't consider myself as a floater , i think u all are blaming me wrong but is ok

First Jaison

The good thing about him is that he is really good person and he tried hard

the bad things is that he lie to me sometimes

Natalie

She is a gorgeous girl

The bad thing is that she make other alliance behind my back

[Natalie White]

Now to Natalie;

I do respect you as a person but in terms of game-play you as well blindsighted me and ran me over. I admit in terms of who I was planning on voting off you would have been after Ben & Mick if things went alright (and if that was going to be the best move at the time) because I saw you as a threat and a potential winner if making it to the finals but eh... still, you DID blindside me and I never got to doing the same so it is what it is.

You're potentially the favorite to win this game, overall I feel you did do more than Jaison and Mick did and put yourself out there on a limb.

I would like to know why you decided to vote me off when at the time we did have an alliance.
Erik,
When I contacted you early on in the game I choose you because I knew you were someone I wanted to work with in the merge. I did tell Jaison about a week after I PMed you and Ben about 2 weeks later. Our alliance including Ben, never just came together the way I wanted it to, I was never able to pull in Jaison and Mick the way I planned. When we made a final 2 deal I can't look you in the eye and say I meant it anymore then you did. I think we both know that now and we knew it then. However, I did enjoy chatting and working with you so I did. You were a huge threat in this game and I voted you out because of it. I felt horrible about it. I would have preferred Monica to go before you but it just didn't work that way, and I say that because I have a personal relationship with you and not one with Monica.


Also I would like to know why you feel you deserve to win this game.
I feel I deserve to win this game for the reasons I said in my opening statements, I played a social, strategic, and physically balanced game, despite doing well in challenges and bonding with most people only Monica ever really tried to get me out. I earned my spot in the final 3 and deserve your vote.

And just like above I would like you to say one good thing and one bad thing about Mick and Jaison and the way they got here.
I think Mick always gave 100% in challenges and worked hard, bad thing, he at times, would have chosen to keep the wrong players.
I worked closely with Jaison so I think he played a great game, bad thing, maybe be a bit more social.

[Jaison Robinson]

Do you feel like you did enough to win Samoa? The time that I have known you, you kept to the shadows and didn't really make any power-plays until voting off me and winning immunity recently. Do you feel that you deserve to win this game?

Oh I did do enough to win. I believe I played the best game out of everyone here just because I always played to win. You say I didnt make any power plays but I did....You just didnt notice them . I made power plays in a way so that no one knew that they were power plays. An example would be convincing you and monica that Ben was deffinitley the better decison to vote off then Natalie even though you and Monica really wanted her gone. You obviously trusted me and did what I said and Natalie is now here with me. Another power play was making sure all of my enemys were out early. Like i said before Mike Marissa and Liz all voted me at one point and they were all gone within 4 weeks. Yet again no one noticed it was a power play and the target remained off my back. It is soo hard to make power plays and not have a target but I managed to do so. I definitly deserve to win this game because of the way i played.


Also I would like you to say one good thing and one bad thing about Natalie and Mick and the way they got here. Try to convince me that the way you played the game was overall more successful and that I, Erik Cardona, should give you my vote

-Natalie
Good-Very trustworthy (at least to me) she would never stab me and the back and we were always looking out for each other.

Bad-Way to emotional some times. She hates backstabbing people and so a lot of times I had to reassure her that a certain person needed to go.

-Mick
Good-Also very loyal he never falterd in the alliance so I knew we could trust him

Bad-Rode behind me and Natalie. He like the rest of you didnt really see me and Natalie controlling the show and so he did not really make any decisons even if he thought he did.

I think my game was very succesful because I got to the end controlling everything but still had no target on my back. I convinced people to trust me that really shouldnt have and kept myself safe with fake alliances. You never thought about writing my name down when we were in the alliance and so no one at f7 was ever going to vote for me because everyone trusted me. Thanks for your questions. Hope I did enough for your vote!

[Ben Browning]

I would just like to comment about my being voted off. I actually asked some people to vote me off, specifically mick and erik, and I even posted that somewhere for people to vote me off because I wanted Natalie to stay in the game but Natalie didn't like that because she doesn't want to stay just because I wanted to be voted off but I already did it so I think I controlled my own exit and no one else. Just saying...

[Jaison Robinson]

I disagree...just because you asked to be voted off does not mean that people didnt want to vote natalie. Im sure monica and erik will tell you that they both wanted natalie gone because I have PM's from them trying to get me to vote Natalie.

[Ben Browning]

Oh I know Monica wanted Natalie gone cause she PMd me that she wanted to keep me I don't think she voted for me and that could only mean you failed to convince Monica. But my telling Erik could have influenced him too.

[Elizabeth Kim]

Omg, Ben, did you reserve your spot for Janu next season?

[Ben Browning]

LOL you're Janu???

[Elizabeth Kim]

Fail, Ben, fail..

[Ben Browning]

lol
