OTz Survivor: Final Tribal Council

You can have one of the following two things: trust/love.

Not just in this game but in your life...which would it be and why?

Hmm. Well played there ;)

For all my talk about trust - this makes for an interesting choice. There's reciprocated love and then there's unrequited love. I definitely don't want the latter - I think a fair few could probably say they've "been there, done that" too.

Reciprocated love it must be. There may be some who disagree but I think that for me personally - a life shared full of passion and understanding the needs / desires of your partner has be ultimately more fulfilling than a life based on trust but with no such passion and love in that life.

A life that is full of trust - trust towards you, your trust towards others may be a life of integrity - but without love in that live - it must be the loneliest kind of existence on God's green earth. I wouldn't want that - so in that scenario with those two choices, I choose love.

Great question, Maulds. :)

I would always choose love.

Why?

Because I couldn't imagine a life without it. There are many kinds of love for us to give, as well as receive. We love our parents, we love our children, we love our partners, we love our friends and we can even love those, with whom we disagree.

A loving nature allows our hearts the freedom to accept people for who they are, without judgement or boundary.

Love washes away all bitterness... anger... even lack of trust. Love always prevails. :)
 
Siph: Obviously a lot of the disagreements over this game have come down to loyalties and people not sticking to their word. You've said publicly that you had no intention of getting to the final two. If I had been the one to win immunity in the final game and offered you a spot by my side instead of GDW, going against the very clear and specific agreement that the three of us had about you being voted off, would you have accepted? And why?


GDW: Despite your protests that you've played with dignity, it seems like there are several people who thought you had an agreement with them that would involve being the last two people in the game, and none of those people are now sitting next to you. It seems like an unusual strategy, to backstab half the people who decide whether you win at all. Was this technique something you took from the real Survivor? Or did you decide to play like that on your own initiative?
 
HK, I will make no secret of the fact that I felt I could trust you more than I could GDW. This is why I said early on that GDW winning immunity was the worst possible thing that could happen for the plan. I was fearing she would pick me and indeed that is exactly what happened.

I wouldn't have expected you to pick me and this is why I was hoping you'd win it. The people outside may be thinking "wait, was Siph throwing some challenges on purpose?". I will answer honestly and say yes. I didn't try as hard because I was expecting to get voted out at various points.

Getting back on track though - had you not stuck to the agreement and wanted me in the final two - I would have been disappointed. More so and less so at the same time than GDW winning immunity. More so - because I would not have expected you to break the disagreement. Less so because I feel your approach to the game has been more akin to my own than other players. Would have I thrown as much of a hissy fit as I did with GDW winning? Probably not - but my opening statement would still have made mention of my intentions and the plan etc.

Caveat to GDW - I don't wish you any ill will. I don't like the approach - but I respect the fact that whatever the reasons for it - your approach has got you this far. Kudos to you for that. If you get selected as Sole OTz survivor - deservedly so and I will hold no grudge to you after this is over! :)

Again, I have played with dignity. :)

No... there were not several. There were 2. I believe I've already explained myself as to why I made the choices I made.


I didn't choose to play this game to make enemies. I played it because it seemed like it would be fun. A lot of it was fun, when we were separate tribes...playing as tribes, in challenges and votes. It was when it came down to the individual voting, that I struggled.

I love how you and Siph continue to state how I didn't play with dignity, I was dishonorable, and not trustworthy... when I'm only ONE vote. I can't help but wonder if you two think you're without blemish! You didn't "backstab" as you call it? You didn't change your mind as you went along? We (meaning the 3 of us) played this game to the final 3. So, whatever you 2 accuse me of, then you're both guilty of the same thing.

Also, you had a hand in my decision with Maulds. You yourself said that you didn't believe that Maulds would vote you off. With that being said., you certainly got my attention because that's when I realized that he had bought you for Valentines Day, and maybe there was some truth to what you said. It certainly gave me pause.


Too funny. I was outnumbered a very long time ago. If you look at it, I'm really the only original Spartan left. The rest of you that played after hart and Carn were voted off, are/were Trojans.

Look, I don't have a mean bone in my body. This is a game. Sadly enough, it's a game of cut-throat, which has not been easy for me to play.

In closing, the situation I've been up against here at the end is nasty. Never, in the history of Survivor has anyone been mad to be in the final 2. I kept Siph and he promised me vengeance if I kept him. Well, he's certainly kept his word on that.
