 Congratulations to both Yau-Man and Anthony on making the Final 2 and getting this far. I did work with both of you from the very beginning of this game along with Jen. I am not quite as bitter as a lot of these jury members are towards both of you. Right now I will be asking a very simple question just to figure out your perception of this game and final thoughts. I will be asking some more questions later on. So now onto my first question. 1) I would like you rank everybody in this game according to who you think was your biggest competition with 1 being the strongest and 17 being the weakest. Please give a reason for each one even if it is extremely short.

Hi Kenny.. love the hair  !!!! Here are your answers!!!
1 Brenda - We were not allies, she was fierce in competitions and had the social power to burn down the Trinity
2 Anthony - Though allies he was the biggest challenge competition, also the person I felt toughest to face in the finale
3 Jen - Mouthy lil ... I mean... Though Anthonys light shined brighter in challenges you can't deny Jen had a determination about her, We were allies, but again sitting in the finals with her would be a fight for life. She socially chatted with everyone, and told it how it was.
4 Courtney - Who doesn't love Courtney. Its hard not to love spending time chatting with this girl and even harder to want to vote the group sweetheart out. I love Anthony but I was hoping to share finals with her or Jen.
5 Shawna - She was able to make moves for and against the trinity very quietly. Often Jen found herself taking the blame for Shawna's sneaky ideas, which she never truly got credit for. Had she flipped to Brenda/Chelsea group earlier, she could defin be sitting here instead of me.
6 Ace - Went home for being a threat. Showed strong potential in challenges, socially did well for himself, and often defended the "Brenda/Chelsea" group when talking. With no tribes someone like this was dangerous.
7 Penner - Quiet, but clearly connected. Felt like he had strong connections with Anthony and Courtney. To move up on their trust lists he had to go, he is ranked lower because he was more a quiet force in the game
8 Kenny - We were allies early in the game but there was talk and rumors that Kenny was telling secrets of our chats to other players. A double agent he was pegged and for that he went home. Had he had a chance to get back to merge and used info against us it could have been detrimental.
9 Chelsea - She is ranked lower on my list only because I feel Brenda did most of the work for both of them socially and in game, not to say she couldn't stand on her own two legs, but threat wise without Brenda I dont feel she was a problem for me.
10 Michael - Michael was strong but full of himself and wanting to create an army of drones. If he succeeded he could have been really dangerous
11 Brianna - Brianna was fiesty and often told me she wanted out Anthony or Jen. She threatened my alliance.
12 Richard - He was a threat because he was a wild card, those are the worst kind of threats in the game, the unknown 
13 Angie - She seemed like she refused to die, in all her terror, if left in the game she could have turned it upside down.
14 Colton - Meh He was too busy playing video games to care he was on a beautiful island
15. Alicia - She was not much of a threat, we worked well together and I knew it would be easy to send her home later.
16. Crystal - Wasn't here long enough to be a threat to anyone
17 Sash - Waste of Space and Never Showed Up

Hey Kenny, it's been a while! Thanks for the congrats; looking forward to what questions you have in store.
This is going to be based on like a mix of who's been the biggest competition in general and who's been the biggest competition for me personally.
1. Ace ~ I've always seen Ace as my biggest competition in this game even though he was a pre-merge boot. He lasted 9 hours in the pre-merge endurance challenge and did a great job in stealing the jewels. Ace wasn't on my side, which was something I figured when we both went to Deception Valley. He didn't want to exchange prizes, which to me indicated that he was having loyalties to someone else. Two challenge 'beasts' often become nemeses later in the game, and I was expecting Ace to become my nemesis in this game.
2. Brenda ~ Brenda was more dangerous than I ever realized. I didn't know she had that 6x vote. She had the potential to cause some serious damage and to screw up plans with her Medallion of Power giving her a challenge advantage. Had she used that at Final 6, then Jen would have missed out on an idol and things would have been a lot messier. So yeah, Brenda was serious competition and never gave up.
3. Jen ~ Even though we have been on the same side for most of the game, Jen was serious competition. During the end game it became Jen vs. Anthony, and she almost beat me in the endurance challenge wasting a good 8 hours. Jen also had the most items, so had she made a serious move against me earlier in the game then it could have been deadly.
4. Shawna ~ Like I said before, Shawna could be silent but deadly. She's had a role in the eliminations of Ace and you, and I knew that at some point she was gonna go after me. The two of us connected early in the game and at Final 8 we repaired ties. That helped a lot. Shawna was also a strong competitor in challenges, winning once and getting close to winning a couple of times.
5. YauMan ~ During the game I've often seen him as my closest ally and therefore I didn't feel the need to be 'competitive' with him. Right now though, it's the Final 2, and he is the only person left who can refrain me from winning the game. I believe he has a very good shot at it, so he's competition.
6. Chelsea ~ Due to our time difference we were never able to talk much. I don't think it made much sense for her to be on my side, and hence she was competition. She did great in challenges and depending on the puzzle reward challenge may have been the closest to getting an idol.
7. Kenny ~ I feel like you could have kept me from some of my challenge wins. In addition, you had a lot of information and some DV items, and you were planning to go after me at some point. On one hand we were on the same side, on the other hand you were competition.
8. Courtney ~ She was an open book and stayed very close to me and YauMan. Hence, for me personally she wasn't that much competition. I did see her as someone who could win the game though, because of her honesty, likeability, and her way of making it so far.
9. Penner ~ He was trying to change things up and go against YauMan and Jen who I both needed for my game. He had quite some DV items and almost succeeded in doing damage. I feel like Penner should be a bit higher; I saw Chelsea-you-Courtney-Penner pretty much as equal competition.
10. Brianna ~ She was the first person to openly gun for me and therefore competition. I'm not really sure what she was doing though, she was spitting out so many names and it was easy to make people aware of what she was doing.
11. Michael ~ He was a strategist. Didn't do great in challenges, but he was trying to call the shots early on. I saw him as someone who could get a bigger target on his back than myself.
12. Richard ~ The ultimate wild card. We had a bit of a misunderstanding earlier in the game. Resolving that brought us closer, so I don't think he was against me. He wasn't that much of a force in competitions, but as a vote he could have become dangerous.
13. Angie ~ Worthless. We were close, and therefore she felt the need to bother me with all her nonsense. I couldn't speak my mind to her as she was such a loose cannon and I didn't want her to ruin my game. So not really competition, just poison.
14. Alicia ~ She was invisible in the beginning, and was easy to influence later on. Ultimately she went inactive. I didn't see her as competition.
15. Crystal ~ She was an easy target early on. I didn't see her as competition, but she never got a chance to shine so maybe there was more to her game.
16. Colton ~ He wasn't really in it.
17. Sash ~ Died before the game started. |
