*~*~*~Shawna's Questions & Comments~*~*~*


Okay first off I want to say congratulations to the three of you. I think we all knew that at least two of you would be sitting in the Final 3 since your strategy of basically sticking with your own tribe because you had no other options was the only way you were going to get here. So congrats on having the majority in the merge because if you didn’t I don’t think two of you would be sitting up here at all. I actually think you would be the first two out in the merge.

 

I actually did read every single thing that each of you wrote and I have a lot to say about it. I have no reason to lie at this point or make anything up. I don’t gain anything at this point from not telling the truth. I do feel the need to call you guys out on things I believe you’re twisting or trying to make yourself look like you played a better game then you really did…

 

JP, I first want to say stop playing the victim. I think everything you had to say regarding me in this game was me not liking you. When you chose to go after every Tambaqui member in the order you considered them a threat of course I’m not going to want to keep you around. It wasn’t only me either it was my entire tribe. So where your social skills were in this game when it came to getting people to vote for you in the end..I’m not quite sure. What I do know though is that the entire time most of the people from my tribe believed you to be arrogant and cocky about your position. Yes in many peoples eyes you could be considered the leader of Jaburu and the person that put the most time and effort to get here, but when it came to Outwit you didn’t Outwit anybody. You never tried to work with anyone but your own tribe and while you might of Outlasted and Outplayed everyone here…I don’t think you can honestly sit here and say you played a strong social game at all when people went after you every opportunity they had.


The only question I have for you is why do you think I don't like you as a person. What did I do or say in this game that made you think that? Honestly your strategy wasn't really hidden so I don't see the point in asking a question about it so I figure might as well ask a question on something you keep claiming every time you say my name.

Brad, I could be entirely wrong here, but I felt like every conversation you had with me was entirely fake. You never came off genuine and I always felt like you were talking to people right before you knew they were going to be the next to go. That might be a smart strategy buttering people off before you vote them off, but I don’t think it said much about your character. If anything I really think you just went under JP’s wing this entire game. You let him take the bullets while you were always going to be second target. I don’t respect people who don’t stand on their own two feet and I think you let JP do most of the dirty work. If you won I think it would be just because people can’t get past their dislike for JP and you played a similar, but less impressive game then he did.

 

In your response to Christy you stated that “ the manipulation of Ryan and possibly others members of Tambaqui was a joint effort that was executed mostly by yourself and JP”. Umm..lol who did you manipulate from Tambaqui? I’m just curious because that makes me think that you didn’t know anything that was going on with the other half of the game. Did you think you were fooling anyone from our tribe? If so who?

 

I’m glad though that you agree with me that JP didn’t have much of a strategic game, but then again by agreeing with me on that and me thinking you just hid under him it would also mean you didn’t have much of one either.

Brandon, I actually respect you a lot. I think you reached out to people and saw where you could be in trouble down the road. I do think you were real and genuine with everyone from both tribes. I think you were smart to look at other options and I appreciated you cluing me into information throughout my time in the merge. The main reason I think you deserve to win is because I think even if Tambaqui held the majority in the merge you still had a really good shot at getting to the Final 3. The same can’t be said for JP and Brad who would have been the first two out. So the fact that you can sit in the Final 3 knowing that you probably would of got here either way is a testament to the way you played the game.


Having said all that the only real issue I have with you is why didn't you turn on your tribe sooner? You tried to get JP out at one point, but failed. Can you admit that maybe you thought you had the numbers to make something happened and it ended up not working out? Does your failed attempt at getting JP off still make you deserving of winning since in our eyes it could be looked at as you not having control in this game.
