For someone who hosts a lot of ORG's, Sam sucks at lying. He is also a goldmine for leaked info his allies don't want you to hear. His ineptitude at Survivor is pretty funny, actually.
First, he let it slip that Renee had no idol - which I used to my advantage (or so I thought) and now he let it slip that he knew all along that Renee had Hash's idol - contradicting the angle Renee played and proving once and for all that she is the mole of Kwele. He then goes so far as to say Renee is pissed at him. Why would she be if he knew she was safe?
I just played dumb all along and he bought that I was none the wiser. I also let a few things of my own "slip".
Some of his lies are ridiculous, though, like the ones about Hash and when he told Ryan I had said he doesn't deserve to be here. Can't blame him, but dude...
Seriously...

[11/27/2012 6:09:27 AM] Sam Burkett: i don't know if it was 100% my doing or anything but i tried to talk to hash as much as I could
[11/27/2012 6:09:46 AM] Sam Burkett: coming up with different possibilities and stuff..... and eventually he used the idol on Renee
[11/27/2012 6:10:11 AM] Sam Burkett: i was kind of surprised it all came together haha. anyway i think that'll help us in terms of challenges and stuff
[11/27/2012 11:26:33 PM] Adrian John Dias: Hey, buddy.
[11/27/2012 11:26:38 PM] Adrian John Dias: Looks like it did.
[11/27/2012 11:26:59 PM] Adrian John Dias: I still don't think it was my plan though
[11/27/2012 11:27:07 PM] Adrian John Dias: we all had a hand in it
[11/27/2012 11:27:26 PM] Adrian John Dias: why did you guys vote for Renee, though?
[11/27/2012 11:29:24 PM] Sam Burkett: i voted for renee cause i knew that vote would be cancelled whereas i wasn't sure with you or ryan
[11/27/2012 11:29:41 PM] Sam Burkett: im glad i did hash was trying to get me to vote ryan up utnil the last minute
[11/27/2012 11:29:58 PM] Sam Burkett: hash even lied to me and told me he was going to vote for ryan...
[11/27/2012 11:30:44 PM] Adrian John Dias: wow
[11/27/2012 11:31:03 PM] Adrian John Dias: I heard from Rob that he tried to hack the board
[11/27/2012 11:31:20 PM] Sam Burkett: holy crap, really!
[11/27/2012 11:31:32 PM] Sam Burkett: he was a little much 'too' into this game i think, i dont think it was healthy
[11/27/2012 11:31:55 PM] Sam Burkett: he was telling me that he was going to get you on microphone at the last minutes of the vote, and like force you to show him your computer screen through ScreenShare
[11/27/2012 11:32:05 PM] Sam Burkett: to confirm who you had voted for.
[11/27/2012 11:32:27 PM] Adrian John Dias: What???
[11/27/2012 11:32:46 PM] Adrian John Dias: That would not have helped him anyway
[11/27/2012 11:32:57 PM] Adrian John Dias: Woa!
[11/27/2012 11:33:10 PM] Adrian John Dias: That is some serious crazy talk
[11/27/2012 11:33:22 PM] Adrian John Dias: I didn't realize he was that into this
[11/27/2012 11:33:49 PM] Adrian John Dias: i never even discussed with him who I voted for
[11/27/2012 11:34:25 PM] Adrian John Dias: he just ignored me since the double elimination challenge was announced
[11/27/2012 11:34:56 PM] Sam Burkett: wow he must have been lying up a storm then haha
[11/27/2012 11:35:05 PM] Sam Burkett: he told me he was talking with you and trying to get information
[11/27/2012 11:35:46 PM] Adrian John Dias: I did go to him to see who he wanted us to vote for, like I did with everyone, but he became dismissive. That is kinda what lead me to target him for his strength
[11/27/2012 11:36:06 PM] Adrian John Dias: He wanted me to vote Ryan out, but I said no straight up
[11/27/2012 11:36:13 PM] Adrian John Dias: since then, not a word
[11/27/2012 11:37:49 PM] Adrian John Dias: [11/23/2012 10:55:10 PM] Adrian John Dias: you did waht you had to
[11/23/2012 10:57:52 PM] Adrian John Dias: so, if ryan and i play our idols, is there anyone you could stand to lose before a merge?
[11/23/2012 10:58:14 PM] Adrian John Dias: just so we keep the tribal diplomatic
[11/23/2012 10:59:39 PM] David Haymes: Well there's actually a lot of options
[11/23/2012 10:59:39 PM] Adrian John Dias: nobody has really come to me with anything yet
[11/23/2012 10:59:49 PM] Adrian John Dias: i am open to hearing any
[11/23/2012 11:00:51 PM] David Haymes: Well the one I like the most, I'm not too sure you'd be interested in persuing
[11/23/2012 11:00:53 PM] David Haymes: lmfao
[11/23/2012 11:01:06 PM] Adrian John Dias: try me
[11/23/2012 11:02:44 PM] David Haymes: Well, I think we can keep you safe but I think it would have to be at the expense of Quanz
[11/23/2012 11:03:09 PM] Adrian John Dias: you saying the same thing to quanz?
[11/23/2012 11:03:24 PM] David Haymes: No I haven't talked to him since the day we tribe swapped
[11/23/2012 11:03:30 PM] David Haymes: Feel free to ask him
[11/23/2012 11:03:49 PM] Adrian John Dias: don't worry i will take your word for it
[11/23/2012 11:03:57 PM] Adrian John Dias: but ja, i won't sell him out
[11/23/2012 11:04:04 PM] Adrian John Dias: can't do it
[11/23/2012 11:04:07 PM] David Haymes: I understand
[11/23/2012 11:04:14 PM] David Haymes: And I respect that
[11/23/2012 11:04:34 PM] Adrian John Dias: as i respect your honesty and straightforwardness
[11/23/2012 11:04:45 PM] David Haymes: I appreciate it sir
[11/23/2012 11:05:08 PM] Adrian John Dias: i have been trying to get to know all of you and see if there was anyone who i wouldn't like, etc
[11/23/2012 11:05:20 PM] Adrian John Dias: it hasn't been easy
[11/23/2012 11:05:37 PM] Adrian John Dias: none of you have come accross any less than great
[11/23/2012 11:05:50 PM] David Haymes: Yeah it is seriously hard, everyone has been awesome
[11/23/2012 11:06:08 PM] Adrian John Dias: so, i am in a bit of a bind
[11/23/2012 11:06:18 PM] Adrian John Dias: i would be dumb not to play my idol
[11/27/2012 11:38:50 PM] Adrian John Dias: Same thing I asked all of you
[11/27/2012 11:39:39 PM] Sam Burkett: yeah
[11/27/2012 11:39:54 PM] Sam Burkett: I'm kind of glad now that I look back at it that you came to me and talked to me about getting Hash not to use his idol. At the time I wasn't so sure... but now I think it was for the best
[11/27/2012 11:40:09 PM] Adrian John Dias: Guess so
[11/27/2012 11:40:27 PM] Adrian John Dias: Would have been a bad vibe with him around
[11/27/2012 11:40:42 PM] Adrian John Dias: I never realized he was like what you say
[11/27/2012 11:42:20 PM] Sam Burkett: yeah me either. kinda scary haha
[11/27/2012 11:43:28 PM] Adrian John Dias: yup
[11/27/2012 11:45:18 PM] Sam Burkett: it's a really nice feeling to make the merge though
[11/27/2012 11:45:23 PM] Sam Burkett: looking back we've come pretty far
[11/27/2012 11:45:35 PM] Sam Burkett: after next round we'll both be halfway through!
[11/27/2012 11:45:59 PM] Adrian John Dias: that is true!
[11/27/2012 11:46:16 PM] Adrian John Dias: that is if we both survive
[11/27/2012 11:46:25 PM] Adrian John Dias: anything can happen
[11/27/2012 11:47:10 PM] Adrian John Dias: I think this would have made a killer actual season of the show
[11/27/2012 11:47:19 PM] Adrian John Dias: brb
[11/27/2012 11:47:48 PM] Sam Burkett: alright
[12:02:05 AM] Adrian John Dias: back
[12:04:20 AM] Sam Burkett: have you ever seen South African Survivor?
[12:05:11 AM] Adrian John Dias: yup
[12:05:19 AM] Adrian John Dias: nearly made it on the last season
[12:05:26 AM] Adrian John Dias: this is why i am here
[12:05:38 AM] Adrian John Dias: to see if i can play the social game
[12:05:51 AM] Adrian John Dias: to see if i have what it takes to be out there
[12:05:53 AM] Adrian John Dias:
[12:06:07 AM] Sam Burkett: wow, that's awesome!
[12:06:27 AM] Sam Burkett: I saw the first season of that show, it was pretty good I enjoyed it
[12:06:46 AM] Sam Burkett: did they do more seasons after? i hadn't caught up
[12:07:19 AM] Adrian John Dias: i thought the first season was crap, actually
[12:07:21 AM] Adrian John Dias:
[12:07:28 AM] Adrian John Dias: the 2nd one as well
[12:07:39 AM] Adrian John Dias: the 3rd was a celebrity edition and was okay
[12:07:54 AM] Adrian John Dias: the 4th was celebs vs plebs and was actually really good
[12:08:03 AM] Adrian John Dias: i nearly made it on that one
[12:08:11 AM] Adrian John Dias: hoping for a 5th season
[12:09:41 AM] Sam Burkett: oh nice! did you like go through the whole audition process and everything?
[12:10:21 AM] Adrian John Dias: yup
[12:10:29 AM] Adrian John Dias: got a call back and everything
[12:11:19 AM] Sam Burkett: that must of been exciting
[12:11:43 AM] Sam Burkett: i'm sure you're in their name bank for future seasons
[12:12:03 AM] Adrian John Dias: i hope so
[12:12:15 AM] Adrian John Dias: i know some people who want to pull strings to get me on
[12:12:30 AM] Adrian John Dias: so hopefully i make it if there is another
[12:12:32 AM] Adrian John Dias:
[12:12:40 AM] Adrian John Dias: it will be my last chance
[12:13:32 AM] Sam Burkett: because of your girlfriend returning home?
[12:14:05 AM] Adrian John Dias: no, because in 2014, we are moving away for 6 years
[12:14:22 AM] Adrian John Dias: you have to be a SA citizen living in SA
[12:14:45 AM] Adrian John Dias: i will feel like i missed out on my life's dream if i never play
[12:14:57 AM] Adrian John Dias: another reason i decided to play this game
[12:15:33 AM] Sam Burkett: i know what you feel like with the life's dream, playing Survivor would be amazing! where are you headed for six years?
[12:16:06 AM] Adrian John Dias: Aus for 9 months, Thailand for 2 years and Japan for 3 years
[12:16:44 AM] Adrian John Dias: will also squeeze in a trip to Portugal to visit my gran
[12:17:34 AM] Sam Burkett: wow that's quite the itinerary haha
[12:17:47 AM] Adrian John Dias: yup
[12:17:59 AM] Adrian John Dias: i have waited too long to travel
[12:18:33 AM] Adrian John Dias: going to travel in a way that will help me further my career, so i will live a chilled and fun life after years of stress
[12:19:01 AM] Sam Burkett: you know Adrian
[12:19:08 AM] Sam Burkett: I wish many of my fellow Americans had that same attitude haha
[12:19:15 AM] Sam Burkett: i'm not saying it's just non-americans that feel that way but
[12:19:21 AM] Sam Burkett: it seems to be more common, in my opinion haha
[12:20:02 AM] Sam Burkett: i am surrounded by overachievers whose life goal is to make money and work every hour of everyday which is good and all if that makes them happy but
[12:20:11 AM] Sam Burkett: then if I don't do the same thing, i'm seen as weak or lazy or whatever
[12:22:17 AM] Adrian John Dias: don't worry it is the same in Benoni
[12:22:30 AM] Adrian John Dias: everyone wants to be married and own stuff
[12:22:40 AM] Adrian John Dias: and settle down before 30
[12:22:48 AM] Adrian John Dias: working a dead-end job
[12:22:58 AM] Adrian John Dias: pretending to be happy
[12:23:25 AM] Adrian John Dias: that is why i started a business with my friends. so i could work with people i want to see go far and who want me to as well
[12:23:43 AM] Adrian John Dias: i want to become wealthy so that i can help people reach their dreams too
[12:24:59 AM] Sam Burkett: that's really cool =)
[12:25:20 AM] Sam Burkett: yeah I agree with you with the people wanting to settle down and work a dead-end job and all that
[12:25:36 AM] Sam Burkett: I just want to have a career that makes enough money so I have time to enjoy life + the people in it
[12:25:45 AM] Sam Burkett: i mean i like my job and everything, but i dont want to do it for 60 hours a week
[12:25:52 AM] Sam Burkett: there's just so many other things i want to do
[12:25:59 AM] Adrian John Dias: agreed
[12:26:18 AM] Adrian John Dias: i love my business, but i work long hours and don't get paid what i should
[12:26:44 AM] Adrian John Dias: once my business parter is out of isolation from his kidney transplants, things will change though
[12:28:20 AM] Sam Burkett: that's a good way to look at it
[12:28:37 AM] Sam Burkett: i've got maybe 6 more months of long nights studying but i guess i'm reaching an end point too
[12:29:01 AM] Sam Burkett: the nice thing about optometry is (eventually) i think i will be able to work 3 or 4 days a week and still live comfortably. im not really materialistic haha so i don't need a lot
[12:29:26 AM] Sam Burkett: thats my goal eventually, to find a nice place in a nice city, and see patients 4 days a week maybe and just enjoy life and travel after that
[12:30:28 AM] Adrian John Dias: that is ideal!
[12:30:43 AM] Adrian John Dias: i love that you are not materialistic
[12:31:01 AM] Adrian John Dias: if you strip away all of one's possessions, what do they really have?
[12:31:58 AM] Sam Burkett: yeah exactly. life should be about people, not things
[12:32:37 AM] Adrian John Dias: people and adventures
[12:32:58 AM] Sam Burkett: yeah
[12:33:34 AM] Sam Burkett: major apologies for bringing back this great conversation to the survivor game we're both in lol, but i know it's getting late over there and i just wanted to hear your thoughts on this current votel
[12:33:50 AM] Sam Burkett: i was wondering if maybe you wanted to continue our good working partnership from last round?
[12:34:23 AM] Adrian John Dias: well, like i told chris, it looks like renee is the vote
[12:35:10 AM] Sam Burkett: yeah
[12:35:33 AM] Sam Burkett: i understand if i'll be getting votes from some of your friends, just like you understood what it was like for me from the last round haha
[12:35:47 AM] Sam Burkett: i mean there's a lot of them i haven't really talked to much and you can't control them ya know
[12:36:31 AM] Adrian John Dias: exactly
[12:36:39 AM] Adrian John Dias: but so far, renee is the way
[12:37:11 AM] Adrian John Dias: according to everyone
[12:37:29 AM] Sam Burkett: well i've voted for her the last two tribal councils
[12:37:32 AM] Sam Burkett: so that definitely works for me haha
[12:38:08 AM] Sam Burkett: im not sure how i'm voting yet but it's definitely not you
[12:38:46 AM] Adrian John Dias: thanks
[12:38:53 AM] Adrian John Dias: i can't be too sure though
[12:39:07 AM] Adrian John Dias: so not sure what i will do idol-wise
[12:40:15 AM] Sam Burkett: i just wanted to offer you a potential partnership together as we move forward in this game.... because really I don't know many people in this game at all lol. i don't talk to sagar much at all and chris is kinda miffed at me with all the Renee fallout and Renee.... lol i've just blocked her out b/c i've heard she's pissed
[12:41:20 AM] Sam Burkett: so anyway, i know you don't like absolutely need me or anything, but i thought i would offer it
[12:41:27 AM] Sam Burkett: because ya never know whats gonna happen in this game
[12:41:29 AM] Adrian John Dias: thanks, Sam
[12:41:42 AM] Adrian John Dias: this game is about to get crazy still
[12:41:54 AM] Adrian John Dias: so i will keep my options open for sure
[12:43:25 AM] Sam Burkett: what i do know is that sagar was thinking for voting for dave
[12:43:39 AM] Sam Burkett: something about being both a social threat cause he won that last immunity and a big physical threat
[12:44:13 AM] Adrian John Dias: i think dave will play his idol though
[12:44:49 AM] Sam Burkett: it might be a safe idea
[12:44:57 AM] Sam Burkett: we only have a few rounds left to use our idol anyway since it expires at final 6
[12:45:38 AM] Adrian John Dias: yup
[12:46:01 AM] Adrian John Dias: i think he is playing it smart
[12:49:08 AM] Sam Burkett: i'll let you know if chris or sagar say they are voting for you... but it looks clear for you at the moment
[12:49:39 AM] Adrian John Dias: oh, awesome
[12:49:41 AM] Adrian John Dias: thanks
[12:50:00 AM] Adrian John Dias: i am still unsure, though
[12:50:17 AM] Adrian John Dias: it just takes one vote
[12:52:08 AM] Sam Burkett: yeah
[12:52:24 AM] Sam Burkett: i dont think ill make it to the final six haha, but once it gets to that point it would feel like a totally different game without all these idols!
[12:52:40 AM] Adrian John Dias: Agreed
[12:52:49 AM] Adrian John Dias: not sure i will make it that far either
[12:53:03 AM] Adrian John Dias: people always seem to throw my name around
[12:53:14 AM] Adrian John Dias: once my idol is gone, so am I
[12:53:55 AM] Sam Burkett: were they throwing your name around in old Mbochi? because other than last round, i haven't heard anything
[12:54:29 AM] Adrian John Dias: i heard Kim and JEB wanted me out
[12:54:35 AM] Adrian John Dias: last round i was a traget
[12:54:49 AM] Adrian John Dias: brandon was always throwing my name around, etc
[12:56:27 AM] Sam Burkett: oh yeah i forgot about brandon
[12:56:52 AM] Adrian John Dias: wish i could do the same
[12:56:56 AM] Sam Burkett: haha
[12:58:34 AM] Sam Burkett: i think im gonna get off the computer for a bit
[12:58:46 AM] Adrian John Dias: I'm going to bed soon
[12:58:54 AM] Adrian John Dias: thanks for the chat, Sam
[12:58:59 AM] Sam Burkett: talk to you soon, Adrian!
[12:59:02 AM] Adrian John Dias: was awesome
[12:59:07 AM] Adrian John Dias: for sure!
First, he let it slip that Renee had no idol - which I used to my advantage (or so I thought) and now he let it slip that he knew all along that Renee had Hash's idol - contradicting the angle Renee played and proving once and for all that she is the mole of Kwele. He then goes so far as to say Renee is pissed at him. Why would she be if he knew she was safe?
I just played dumb all along and he bought that I was none the wiser. I also let a few things of my own "slip".
Some of his lies are ridiculous, though, like the ones about Hash and when he told Ryan I had said he doesn't deserve to be here. Can't blame him, but dude...
Seriously...
[11/27/2012 6:09:11 AM] Sam Burkett: hey Adrian... just wanted to say... your plan WORKED!!! haha, I was surprised it did
[11/27/2012 6:09:27 AM] Sam Burkett: i don't know if it was 100% my doing or anything but i tried to talk to hash as much as I could
[11/27/2012 6:09:46 AM] Sam Burkett: coming up with different possibilities and stuff..... and eventually he used the idol on Renee
[11/27/2012 6:10:11 AM] Sam Burkett: i was kind of surprised it all came together haha. anyway i think that'll help us in terms of challenges and stuff
[11/27/2012 11:26:33 PM] Adrian John Dias: Hey, buddy.
[11/27/2012 11:26:38 PM] Adrian John Dias: Looks like it did.
[11/27/2012 11:26:59 PM] Adrian John Dias: I still don't think it was my plan though
[11/27/2012 11:27:07 PM] Adrian John Dias: we all had a hand in it
[11/27/2012 11:27:26 PM] Adrian John Dias: why did you guys vote for Renee, though?
[11/27/2012 11:29:24 PM] Sam Burkett: i voted for renee cause i knew that vote would be cancelled whereas i wasn't sure with you or ryan
[11/27/2012 11:29:41 PM] Sam Burkett: im glad i did hash was trying to get me to vote ryan up utnil the last minute
[11/27/2012 11:29:58 PM] Sam Burkett: hash even lied to me and told me he was going to vote for ryan...
[11/27/2012 11:30:44 PM] Adrian John Dias: wow
[11/27/2012 11:31:03 PM] Adrian John Dias: I heard from Rob that he tried to hack the board
[11/27/2012 11:31:20 PM] Sam Burkett: holy crap, really!
[11/27/2012 11:31:32 PM] Sam Burkett: he was a little much 'too' into this game i think, i dont think it was healthy
[11/27/2012 11:31:55 PM] Sam Burkett: he was telling me that he was going to get you on microphone at the last minutes of the vote, and like force you to show him your computer screen through ScreenShare
[11/27/2012 11:32:05 PM] Sam Burkett: to confirm who you had voted for.
[11/27/2012 11:32:27 PM] Adrian John Dias: What???
[11/27/2012 11:32:46 PM] Adrian John Dias: That would not have helped him anyway
[11/27/2012 11:32:57 PM] Adrian John Dias: Woa!
[11/27/2012 11:33:10 PM] Adrian John Dias: That is some serious crazy talk
[11/27/2012 11:33:22 PM] Adrian John Dias: I didn't realize he was that into this
[11/27/2012 11:33:49 PM] Adrian John Dias: i never even discussed with him who I voted for
[11/27/2012 11:34:25 PM] Adrian John Dias: he just ignored me since the double elimination challenge was announced
[11/27/2012 11:34:56 PM] Sam Burkett: wow he must have been lying up a storm then haha
[11/27/2012 11:35:05 PM] Sam Burkett: he told me he was talking with you and trying to get information
[11/27/2012 11:35:46 PM] Adrian John Dias: I did go to him to see who he wanted us to vote for, like I did with everyone, but he became dismissive. That is kinda what lead me to target him for his strength
[11/27/2012 11:36:06 PM] Adrian John Dias: He wanted me to vote Ryan out, but I said no straight up
[11/27/2012 11:36:13 PM] Adrian John Dias: since then, not a word
[11/27/2012 11:37:49 PM] Adrian John Dias: [11/23/2012 10:55:10 PM] Adrian John Dias: you did waht you had to
[11/23/2012 10:57:52 PM] Adrian John Dias: so, if ryan and i play our idols, is there anyone you could stand to lose before a merge?
[11/23/2012 10:58:14 PM] Adrian John Dias: just so we keep the tribal diplomatic
[11/23/2012 10:59:39 PM] David Haymes: Well there's actually a lot of options
[11/23/2012 10:59:39 PM] Adrian John Dias: nobody has really come to me with anything yet
[11/23/2012 10:59:49 PM] Adrian John Dias: i am open to hearing any
[11/23/2012 11:00:51 PM] David Haymes: Well the one I like the most, I'm not too sure you'd be interested in persuing
[11/23/2012 11:00:53 PM] David Haymes: lmfao
[11/23/2012 11:01:06 PM] Adrian John Dias: try me
[11/23/2012 11:02:44 PM] David Haymes: Well, I think we can keep you safe but I think it would have to be at the expense of Quanz
[11/23/2012 11:03:09 PM] Adrian John Dias: you saying the same thing to quanz?
[11/23/2012 11:03:24 PM] David Haymes: No I haven't talked to him since the day we tribe swapped
[11/23/2012 11:03:30 PM] David Haymes: Feel free to ask him
[11/23/2012 11:03:49 PM] Adrian John Dias: don't worry i will take your word for it
[11/23/2012 11:03:57 PM] Adrian John Dias: but ja, i won't sell him out
[11/23/2012 11:04:04 PM] Adrian John Dias: can't do it
[11/23/2012 11:04:07 PM] David Haymes: I understand
[11/23/2012 11:04:14 PM] David Haymes: And I respect that
[11/23/2012 11:04:34 PM] Adrian John Dias: as i respect your honesty and straightforwardness
[11/23/2012 11:04:45 PM] David Haymes: I appreciate it sir
[11/23/2012 11:05:08 PM] Adrian John Dias: i have been trying to get to know all of you and see if there was anyone who i wouldn't like, etc
[11/23/2012 11:05:20 PM] Adrian John Dias: it hasn't been easy
[11/23/2012 11:05:37 PM] Adrian John Dias: none of you have come accross any less than great
[11/23/2012 11:05:50 PM] David Haymes: Yeah it is seriously hard, everyone has been awesome
[11/23/2012 11:06:08 PM] Adrian John Dias: so, i am in a bit of a bind
[11/23/2012 11:06:18 PM] Adrian John Dias: i would be dumb not to play my idol
[11/27/2012 11:38:50 PM] Adrian John Dias: Same thing I asked all of you
[11/27/2012 11:39:39 PM] Sam Burkett: yeah
[11/27/2012 11:39:54 PM] Sam Burkett: I'm kind of glad now that I look back at it that you came to me and talked to me about getting Hash not to use his idol. At the time I wasn't so sure... but now I think it was for the best
[11/27/2012 11:40:09 PM] Adrian John Dias: Guess so
[11/27/2012 11:40:27 PM] Adrian John Dias: Would have been a bad vibe with him around
[11/27/2012 11:40:42 PM] Adrian John Dias: I never realized he was like what you say
[11/27/2012 11:42:20 PM] Sam Burkett: yeah me either. kinda scary haha
[11/27/2012 11:43:28 PM] Adrian John Dias: yup
[11/27/2012 11:45:18 PM] Sam Burkett: it's a really nice feeling to make the merge though
[11/27/2012 11:45:23 PM] Sam Burkett: looking back we've come pretty far
[11/27/2012 11:45:35 PM] Sam Burkett: after next round we'll both be halfway through!
[11/27/2012 11:45:59 PM] Adrian John Dias: that is true!
[11/27/2012 11:46:16 PM] Adrian John Dias: that is if we both survive
[11/27/2012 11:46:25 PM] Adrian John Dias: anything can happen
[11/27/2012 11:47:10 PM] Adrian John Dias: I think this would have made a killer actual season of the show
[11/27/2012 11:47:19 PM] Adrian John Dias: brb
[11/27/2012 11:47:48 PM] Sam Burkett: alright
[12:02:05 AM] Adrian John Dias: back
[12:04:20 AM] Sam Burkett: have you ever seen South African Survivor?
[12:05:11 AM] Adrian John Dias: yup
[12:05:19 AM] Adrian John Dias: nearly made it on the last season
[12:05:26 AM] Adrian John Dias: this is why i am here
[12:05:38 AM] Adrian John Dias: to see if i can play the social game
[12:05:51 AM] Adrian John Dias: to see if i have what it takes to be out there
[12:05:53 AM] Adrian John Dias:
[12:06:07 AM] Sam Burkett: wow, that's awesome!
[12:06:27 AM] Sam Burkett: I saw the first season of that show, it was pretty good I enjoyed it
[12:06:46 AM] Sam Burkett: did they do more seasons after? i hadn't caught up
[12:07:19 AM] Adrian John Dias: i thought the first season was crap, actually
[12:07:21 AM] Adrian John Dias:
[12:07:28 AM] Adrian John Dias: the 2nd one as well
[12:07:39 AM] Adrian John Dias: the 3rd was a celebrity edition and was okay
[12:07:54 AM] Adrian John Dias: the 4th was celebs vs plebs and was actually really good
[12:08:03 AM] Adrian John Dias: i nearly made it on that one
[12:08:11 AM] Adrian John Dias: hoping for a 5th season
[12:09:41 AM] Sam Burkett: oh nice! did you like go through the whole audition process and everything?
[12:10:21 AM] Adrian John Dias: yup
[12:10:29 AM] Adrian John Dias: got a call back and everything
[12:11:19 AM] Sam Burkett: that must of been exciting
[12:11:43 AM] Sam Burkett: i'm sure you're in their name bank for future seasons
[12:12:03 AM] Adrian John Dias: i hope so
[12:12:15 AM] Adrian John Dias: i know some people who want to pull strings to get me on
[12:12:30 AM] Adrian John Dias: so hopefully i make it if there is another
[12:12:32 AM] Adrian John Dias:
[12:12:40 AM] Adrian John Dias: it will be my last chance
[12:13:32 AM] Sam Burkett: because of your girlfriend returning home?
[12:14:05 AM] Adrian John Dias: no, because in 2014, we are moving away for 6 years
[12:14:22 AM] Adrian John Dias: you have to be a SA citizen living in SA
[12:14:45 AM] Adrian John Dias: i will feel like i missed out on my life's dream if i never play
[12:14:57 AM] Adrian John Dias: another reason i decided to play this game
[12:15:33 AM] Sam Burkett: i know what you feel like with the life's dream, playing Survivor would be amazing! where are you headed for six years?
[12:16:06 AM] Adrian John Dias: Aus for 9 months, Thailand for 2 years and Japan for 3 years
[12:16:44 AM] Adrian John Dias: will also squeeze in a trip to Portugal to visit my gran
[12:17:34 AM] Sam Burkett: wow that's quite the itinerary haha
[12:17:47 AM] Adrian John Dias: yup
[12:17:59 AM] Adrian John Dias: i have waited too long to travel
[12:18:33 AM] Adrian John Dias: going to travel in a way that will help me further my career, so i will live a chilled and fun life after years of stress
[12:19:01 AM] Sam Burkett: you know Adrian
[12:19:08 AM] Sam Burkett: I wish many of my fellow Americans had that same attitude haha
[12:19:15 AM] Sam Burkett: i'm not saying it's just non-americans that feel that way but
[12:19:21 AM] Sam Burkett: it seems to be more common, in my opinion haha
[12:20:02 AM] Sam Burkett: i am surrounded by overachievers whose life goal is to make money and work every hour of everyday which is good and all if that makes them happy but
[12:20:11 AM] Sam Burkett: then if I don't do the same thing, i'm seen as weak or lazy or whatever
[12:22:17 AM] Adrian John Dias: don't worry it is the same in Benoni
[12:22:30 AM] Adrian John Dias: everyone wants to be married and own stuff
[12:22:40 AM] Adrian John Dias: and settle down before 30
[12:22:48 AM] Adrian John Dias: working a dead-end job
[12:22:58 AM] Adrian John Dias: pretending to be happy
[12:23:25 AM] Adrian John Dias: that is why i started a business with my friends. so i could work with people i want to see go far and who want me to as well
[12:23:43 AM] Adrian John Dias: i want to become wealthy so that i can help people reach their dreams too
[12:24:59 AM] Sam Burkett: that's really cool =)
[12:25:20 AM] Sam Burkett: yeah I agree with you with the people wanting to settle down and work a dead-end job and all that
[12:25:36 AM] Sam Burkett: I just want to have a career that makes enough money so I have time to enjoy life + the people in it
[12:25:45 AM] Sam Burkett: i mean i like my job and everything, but i dont want to do it for 60 hours a week
[12:25:52 AM] Sam Burkett: there's just so many other things i want to do
[12:25:59 AM] Adrian John Dias: agreed
[12:26:18 AM] Adrian John Dias: i love my business, but i work long hours and don't get paid what i should
[12:26:44 AM] Adrian John Dias: once my business parter is out of isolation from his kidney transplants, things will change though
[12:28:20 AM] Sam Burkett: that's a good way to look at it
[12:28:37 AM] Sam Burkett: i've got maybe 6 more months of long nights studying but i guess i'm reaching an end point too
[12:29:01 AM] Sam Burkett: the nice thing about optometry is (eventually) i think i will be able to work 3 or 4 days a week and still live comfortably. im not really materialistic haha so i don't need a lot
[12:29:26 AM] Sam Burkett: thats my goal eventually, to find a nice place in a nice city, and see patients 4 days a week maybe and just enjoy life and travel after that
[12:30:28 AM] Adrian John Dias: that is ideal!
[12:30:43 AM] Adrian John Dias: i love that you are not materialistic
[12:31:01 AM] Adrian John Dias: if you strip away all of one's possessions, what do they really have?
[12:31:58 AM] Sam Burkett: yeah exactly. life should be about people, not things
[12:32:37 AM] Adrian John Dias: people and adventures
[12:32:58 AM] Sam Burkett: yeah
[12:33:34 AM] Sam Burkett: major apologies for bringing back this great conversation to the survivor game we're both in lol, but i know it's getting late over there and i just wanted to hear your thoughts on this current votel
[12:33:50 AM] Sam Burkett: i was wondering if maybe you wanted to continue our good working partnership from last round?
[12:34:23 AM] Adrian John Dias: well, like i told chris, it looks like renee is the vote
[12:35:10 AM] Sam Burkett: yeah
[12:35:33 AM] Sam Burkett: i understand if i'll be getting votes from some of your friends, just like you understood what it was like for me from the last round haha
[12:35:47 AM] Sam Burkett: i mean there's a lot of them i haven't really talked to much and you can't control them ya know
[12:36:31 AM] Adrian John Dias: exactly
[12:36:39 AM] Adrian John Dias: but so far, renee is the way
[12:37:11 AM] Adrian John Dias: according to everyone
[12:37:29 AM] Sam Burkett: well i've voted for her the last two tribal councils
[12:37:32 AM] Sam Burkett: so that definitely works for me haha
[12:38:08 AM] Sam Burkett: im not sure how i'm voting yet but it's definitely not you
[12:38:46 AM] Adrian John Dias: thanks
[12:38:53 AM] Adrian John Dias: i can't be too sure though
[12:39:07 AM] Adrian John Dias: so not sure what i will do idol-wise
[12:40:15 AM] Sam Burkett: i just wanted to offer you a potential partnership together as we move forward in this game.... because really I don't know many people in this game at all lol. i don't talk to sagar much at all and chris is kinda miffed at me with all the Renee fallout and Renee.... lol i've just blocked her out b/c i've heard she's pissed
[12:41:20 AM] Sam Burkett: so anyway, i know you don't like absolutely need me or anything, but i thought i would offer it
[12:41:27 AM] Sam Burkett: because ya never know whats gonna happen in this game
[12:41:29 AM] Adrian John Dias: thanks, Sam
[12:41:42 AM] Adrian John Dias: this game is about to get crazy still
[12:41:54 AM] Adrian John Dias: so i will keep my options open for sure
[12:43:25 AM] Sam Burkett: what i do know is that sagar was thinking for voting for dave
[12:43:39 AM] Sam Burkett: something about being both a social threat cause he won that last immunity and a big physical threat
[12:44:13 AM] Adrian John Dias: i think dave will play his idol though
[12:44:49 AM] Sam Burkett: it might be a safe idea
[12:44:57 AM] Sam Burkett: we only have a few rounds left to use our idol anyway since it expires at final 6
[12:45:38 AM] Adrian John Dias: yup
[12:46:01 AM] Adrian John Dias: i think he is playing it smart
[12:49:08 AM] Sam Burkett: i'll let you know if chris or sagar say they are voting for you... but it looks clear for you at the moment
[12:49:39 AM] Adrian John Dias: oh, awesome
[12:49:41 AM] Adrian John Dias: thanks
[12:50:00 AM] Adrian John Dias: i am still unsure, though
[12:50:17 AM] Adrian John Dias: it just takes one vote
[12:52:08 AM] Sam Burkett: yeah
[12:52:24 AM] Sam Burkett: i dont think ill make it to the final six haha, but once it gets to that point it would feel like a totally different game without all these idols!
[12:52:40 AM] Adrian John Dias: Agreed
[12:52:49 AM] Adrian John Dias: not sure i will make it that far either
[12:53:03 AM] Adrian John Dias: people always seem to throw my name around
[12:53:14 AM] Adrian John Dias: once my idol is gone, so am I
[12:53:55 AM] Sam Burkett: were they throwing your name around in old Mbochi? because other than last round, i haven't heard anything
[12:54:29 AM] Adrian John Dias: i heard Kim and JEB wanted me out
[12:54:35 AM] Adrian John Dias: last round i was a traget
[12:54:49 AM] Adrian John Dias: brandon was always throwing my name around, etc
[12:56:27 AM] Sam Burkett: oh yeah i forgot about brandon
[12:56:52 AM] Adrian John Dias: wish i could do the same
[12:56:56 AM] Sam Burkett: haha
[12:58:34 AM] Sam Burkett: i think im gonna get off the computer for a bit
[12:58:46 AM] Adrian John Dias: I'm going to bed soon
[12:58:54 AM] Adrian John Dias: thanks for the chat, Sam
[12:58:59 AM] Sam Burkett: talk to you soon, Adrian!
[12:59:02 AM] Adrian John Dias: was awesome
