Round 10 - Rafiki

[Dave]

ROUND 10
Rafiki

So I either made the move that will take me to the end, or I just made a move that sealed my fate in this game. Either way I made it and there is no looking back now.

First, Adrian you are the man. I think I'm still in a bit of shock I actually sent you out this round... Anyways, there are really no words to describe how amazing of a player and as a person you are. The way you left was nothing but classy and I respect you hell out of you. You honestly deserved to win this game, and I stand by the fact if you made it to the final 2. You would have. You had my vote locked.

I feel I’m the number one biggest threat in the game now to win. I’m not foolish. I very much realize that. The question becomes have I made strong enough bonds with Jose and Tomas to keep me alive. Is the threat of two Americans who have won every single immunity challenge so far a bigger threat? Also the fact there are currently more Americans on the jury? I have to hope yes. The fight in the TC thread between Sagar/Jose could not have been staged. Still, has Jose made a f2 with Sagar who he knows he can beat against?

I just have to hope I’ve proven my word is good with Jose and that he wants me in the F2 with him (or at least the F3). If all goes well this round Jose will sit out Sagar in this challenge and we will finally vote him off.

That is how I’m hoping this round will go. We shall see what Jose’s true intentions are though. I also need to repair any trust lost between Tomas/I. I need his vote this round.

Damn, still can't believe I did that to Adrian even though I've talked about him going since like F9. It's easy to talk the talk, but much harder to actually put those words into actions.

[Dave]

Note to hosts: I already talked to Tucker about this, but I figure I'd put it in here too. I'm going on vacation to Houston (Hanging out with Stephen among others!) from the 14th to the 17th. Hopefully this isn't an issue with anything.

[Dave]

Sam is grating on my nerves with wanting to talk strategy. For some reason we can ONLY talk strategy if it’s via Skype with talking. No chats allowed. Why? Apparently, he’s afraid of typing anything thanks to the fact of fake chats going around. Um, hi. If you didn’t notice the fake chats were against me. I’ve never freaking faked a chat. If I wanted to fake a chat with you, I’d do it anyways. I don’t need you to type anything.

sorintheseeker: (8:21:45 PM) hey
Dave: (8:21:53 PM) hey!
sorintheseeker: (8:22:05 PM) do you have time to skype now?
Dave: (8:22:53 PM) I'm watching survivor right now
sorintheseeker: (8:24:11 PM) i dunno if ill be on later im so tired but i might not be able to fall asleep
sorintheseeker: (8:24:38 PM) so hopefully i catch you tonight otherwise im busy until like 8pm friday and tc will probably be due then =/

Not my problem you’re so busy. As far as I’m currently aware I’m not the one that needs to be cutting deals to make it further. So either just type whatever it is you want to talk to me about, find me when I’m online not during Survivor, or simply leave me alone. Please and thanks.

EDIT -

LOL Sam why the hell do you have to lie about little things?

[2012-12-06 3:27:59 AM] Sam Burkett: ok =) gimme a few minutes to use the restroom? that mcdonalds from last night is getting to me lol
[2012-12-06 3:28:11 AM] Dave Johnston: no problem

I know you're skyping with Jose live right now. Just tell the damn truth.

[Dave]

Obviously, this isn't my official submission just my thought process.

Question #1
Which Castaway had their Luxury Item as a "Photo of my doggie"

Dylan
Danielle
Ian

100% Danielle and her dog Yoda.

Question #2
Which Castaway is currently an intern for Rob Cesternino's Podcast?

Adrian
Quanz
Chris Brown

100% Quanz. Adrian/I had a chat with him about it a while back.

Question #3
How many Castaways are Married

3
1
2

I'm like 75% sure it's 2... I know Renee is married and I remember Adrian saying that Hash is married. I know Kim has two sons... but based on Facebook, I think she's divorced? I'm not 100% sure though.

Question #4
Which Survivor said

Quote:
The bad thing about the idols is that someone you want gone can stay. And if you split the votes. That person knows they are next. So sooner or later someone is going to go that you don't want to see gone due to an idol.

Dylan
Brandon
JEB

It would be ironic if this was Dylan seeing he left due to idols, but could have this been Brandon? I get the sense the writing styles are the same especially when it said 'And if you split the votes.' It's not JEB because he always used commas when we chatted.

Question #5
Which Survivor said

Quote:
FML! how did i get put into a "leader" like role? This challenge is a breeze and would be easy for me to put together something immaculate, but there are things that you must consider before being the tribe shining star -

(a) they never forget, which can serve as ammunition to get rid of me down the road because of my "strength" and
(b) i have to actually be nice and all about the team when in reality losing wouldn't be so bad.

Chris
Hash
Adrian

100% Chris. I've looked at his past confessionals in other games and he never uses capital letters in those either. Also, don't think Adrian/Hash would say immaculate.

Question #6
Which Survivor said

Quote:
Woke up to extreme bullshit this morning. EVERYONE in the tribe wants to boot either NAME or myself. Im completely pissed. How these fucks stay up all night is beyond me. I've sent out a few pissy messages, maybe a bad call...can't help myself, it's just my nature. I will not succumb to these mancunts.

Kim
Dylan
Hash

100% Kim. Everyone wanted Renee or Kim out for not being around.

Question #7
When asked what type of player they are, who said;

Quote:
The faithful one who is devoted to those they are close with and has a hard time being dishonest.

Renee
Ian
Adrian

I think it's Ian? Based on actions in the game... he really didn't betray anyone. Renee did. Adrian did. Ian was always faithful. 75% on this.

Question #8
Which Survivor has the ambition to be a Spy?
Chris
Kim
Dylan

I have no clue. I don't think it's Kim. Would Chris want to be a spy? I don't see why, I don't see fitting his personality. I never met Dylan so if I had guess it'd be him...

Question #9
Which Survivor describes his life as the song "White & Nerdy"

Adrian
Quanz
Dylan

95% Adrian. He told me he usually is a joker in real life and this game turned him serious. His own business deals with computers and graphic design. It's a match to me!

Question #10
Which Survivor said this in their confessional

Quote:
Kill a man; you're a murderer.
Kill many; you're a conqueror.
Kill them all; you're a God.

Only day 3 and the game is on and I'm pretty far from God Status.

JEB
Kim
Hash

Damn who listens to Megadeth? I would have said this would be 100% Adrian since those are lyrics to a heavy metal band. I'm gonna have to assume JEB wouldn't listen to it. I'm leaning Hash... but I never met the guy so I don't know what music interests he has.

Question #11
Which Survivor said this in their confessional

Quote:
Ok, now that was one exhausting challenge! I was here until 2:00 am last night and back at it early this morning. NAME and I worked well together and pretty much dominated the challenge. I also got the opportunity to talk to a couple of the other guys, which was a first. I'm hoping that the effort I put in to this challenge will buy me some good will with the guys and they might not be in such a hurry to get rid of me.

Kim
Renee
Adrian

100% Renee. Renee and Hash dominated the bird challenge. People also thought Renee wasn't around a lot and that was her chance to talk to them.

Question #12
Which Survivor said this in their confessional

Quote:
I know my Survivor trivia and have analyzed the game countless times ever since I was 14 years old. The first constant thought that keeps popping up in my head: "Don't fuck up, NAME!"

Chris
Quanz
Adrian

It's not Chris due to the way he types. I wanted to say this was Quanz... but has he only been analyzing Survivor for one year? lol. I feel like he's been watching the show since being much younger. I don't think Quanz has ever actually sworn either (what he prob thinks of me and my fowl mouth hahaha).

Question #13
Which Survivor said this in their confessional

Quote:
Fuck my tribe fuck them all. There losers and just voted out an integral part of the team. Im throwing the next challenge and making sure that we lose. and im gonna piss them all off !

Kim
Hash
Brandon

Oh Brandon...

Question #14
Which Survivor said in their confessional

Quote:
So, as far as this challenge goes, I suck horse balls! Initially, I'm a little bummed when it comes to not performing well, but then I realized, this is the first interaction we are really having with the other tribe in terms of challenges, so they're eyeballing who they think are the strong competitors. At that moment, I began to suck a little bit more.

Adrian
Chris
Quanz

Not Chris due to typing style. Not Adrian due to the fact he always gave 150% in the challenges. You little sneaky devil Ryan. That was my thought process too

Question #15
Which Survivor said this in their confessional?

Quote:
you're slow, inactive over AIM, and not here much. NAME is here less than you, but she will probably use an idol. I hope one of you two ladies goes home.

Dylan
Hash
Ian

Not Ian because he never was at the TC with Dylan going. I think I'm gonna have to go on with what I've seen on the Immunity Challenge boards. Hash used commas, Dylan didn't even use capitals.

[Dave]

Hello there immunity! Don’t mind if I do. I don’t think I needed to win this round, but it’s much better to be safe than sorry. There’s always the chance Jose/Sam/Sagar made a f3 to take me out. I honestly think that would have been a horrible move for Jose this round, but if he's that threatened by me potentially winning I wouldn't have been shocked. Heck maybe Tomas/Sam/Sagar did something after Jose/I betrayed Adrian. Who knows, and who cares now? They can’t take me out this round.

I’m so proud of myself that I’m going to be in the final four of this game. Just need to survive two more TCs to get to the end. That’s so crazy when I stop to think about it! I really feel I have a good chance of winning this game if I can make it to the end, so crossing my fingers I have it in me to make it there. I don’t care how I do it. It’ll either be by winning the next two challenges or lying my ass off with deals. I don’t care, I just want to be in the F2. I want to win.

Sagar is way too big of a challenge threat so he needs to go this round if I want to have any chance of winning. I know for like the last three rounds I’ve been saying Sagar needs to go, but this time there’s no personal reason for wanting him gone. It’s simply strategic and logical. He’s the biggest immunity challenge threat left. He won’t take me to the end of the game. Two huge reasons that he’s got to go. Let's hope it finally happens.

[Dave]

Also, Sagar needs to go because he keeps saying I'm playing a good game. Stop that. People don't need to be reminded.

Thanks, Dave. Your kind words made it a little easier to take. For a long time, I really questioned whether anything you told me in the game was real or genuine. I felt so stupid after my blindside. It almost felt like you were using me all along, but this at least shows me that it was not the case. Good game, buddy.

[Dave]

Aww I'm sorry if you ever felt like I was just using you. That was never the case at all

[Adrian]

Glad to know. I kinda started to realize it wasn't the case during our Skype chat the other night. Out of everyone who voted for me that night, your vote did surprise me the most. When I saw my name come up a 3rd time, I knew I was screwed - but in the back of my mind I was thinking, "Maybe Dave kept his word and it will be a 3 -3 tie or something." Not that it would have helped based on Sam's iS points, but that is how my mind was working at the time.
