My question for Sam is, "Why did you bring Tomas to the end and not Joe?"
For Tomas I ask, "What moves made you the only person from Mbochi to make the finals?"

Hey Ryan,

So the most important thing, that i wasn't so much "on the shot", like Dave and Adrian were. Also i made closest alliance with Adrian which made me really strong ally and good position. But i wasn't so "on the shot" like Adrian was. Then i think that my decision to trying to work with Sam and convince Joe to vote off Dave, that move help me a lot. So loyality, underdog position in alliance,good decisions in the and and also having a luck little bit

Thank you Tomas

Hey Ryan!

Thanks for your question. The short answer for why I voted out Joe is because I felt all of the Mbochi are not bitter players, but smart, strategic players. Even though Joe did brutally backstab almost all of you out of nowhere lol, I felt like in the end, people might recognize how smart he played the game and vote for him to win.


But there was actually one point in the game where Joe and the other Mbochi played not so smart, and that was when they voted out you Ryan. I couldn't believe they decided to vote you out first, instead of Sagar. I couldn't understand why.

I think they made a really bad move in voting you out. Even Sagar said he thought that was a not so smart idea lol. Sagar was a big immunity threat and personal threat. He was also clearly not in an alliance with Mbochi. You could have gone back to the Mbochi later on, or helped vote out Adrian at the Final Five or something if you had stayed. You had the right idea and the smart strategy, so I'm not sure why they voted you out.


Mbochi had mentioned to me that they wanted to vote you out because "traitors go first." And that they were upset at you with the screenshot because when you saw it, "you didn't think twice" and just followed along.

I didn't think you were following along at all. I mean, I don't know what you really thought of the screenshot. But the feeling I got from it all, was that maybe you weren't so sure of the screenshot, but you wanted to vote out Adrian at some point anyway because he was a threat. And this was your perfect excuse to do so. You could use this screenshot, whether real or fake, to convince Joe about how threatening the pair of Adrian/Tomas was. I mean, you knew you were at the bottom of the Mbochi 5 alliance, and you would have had to do something at some point. So for you, this was the perfect time.


I got this feeling because the faked screenshot said that Joe was in the final 3 alliance with Adrian and Dave, when that was not the case at all lol. Yet even though the screenshot said differently, you did a good job of playing along with it and trying to get Joe to come along with us instead of Tomas, who wasn't going to join us.


You told me that in your last ORG, they voted you out in a dumb move.

[12/1/2012 11:03:03 PM] Sam Burkett: how was your first ORG?
[12/1/2012 11:03:48 PM] Ryan Quanz: I was voted out 8th and was the fourth juror
[12/1/2012 11:04:46 PM] Sam Burkett: oh nice
[12/1/2012 11:05:03 PM] Sam Burkett: thats good congrats =)
[12/1/2012 11:05:08 PM] Sam Burkett: was it fun?
[12/1/2012 11:05:30 PM] Ryan Quanz: It was a dumb move to get rid of me, there were two big alliances of three and then me and this other guy now its three on three and there going to regret not going to five with us, yes very fun, O
[12/1/2012 11:05:46 PM] Ryan Quanz: I was happy with how I did
[12/1/2012 11:06:40 PM] Ryan Quanz: It was a Facebook game CSurvivor

I think, unfortunately, a similar thing might have happened here. =(


Now I'm not saying the Mbochi were all dumb people all the time lol. In fact at the start I said that the Mbochi were all smart, intelligent gameplayers that did lots of things right right in this game. And I really do think that. No one can be perfect.

I just think in this instance they made the wrong choice.


It was really sad to watch you be blindsided by your former allies like that Ryan. =( Sagar and I were talking about how horrible it was to see you go out like that with Joe's brutal betrayal... we did not expect that at all.

I thought our strategy might work and that me and you Ryan would get to work together to the end of the game, something I was really looking forward to! I always enjoyed talking with you. I think we had a good mix of game and non-game talk, and I liked you telling me about the little things like the Chalet sauce from Swiss Chalet lol. And us talking together about videogames and concerts and stuff like that. I hope we see each other in another Survivor game sometime.

If you have any other questions let me know Ryan, and good luck on your choice!
