Final Tribal Council

[Jeff Probst]

Final Tribal Council

We now have our final two -- Daniel & Shawna! Congratulations to both of you. But only one of you can be the winner.

To speed up final tribal, opening/closing statements will be optional.
Jurors, please ask your questions in this thread. Once everyone's questions have been answered, PM me your votes. Then I can reveal the winner.

Good luck!

[Daniel Lue]

Well, I know you all hate me for some reason. I am glad to be here in the finals! I am glad Shawna is beside me. She was a good alliance member during this game and i enjoyed talking to her. We all know you will all slam me and maybe shawna ;)but im looking forward to your questions

Good Luck Jury!, and Good Luck Shawna

[Shawna Mitchell]

I would like to say that this game was very exciting! I would like to thank everyone who participated in this game for making it that way! I would like to thank Daniel for bringing me to the finals, and for being such a good ally. Good luck Daniel! And to the jury, I hope you vote for who you think the better player really is. Bring the questions on!

[Christy Smith]

Well congrats Daniel and Shawna for making the finals.

I just want to say that I dont think you guys have played the best game's out there. Both of you could of done something in this game, besides show up to vote. Shawna, you lied to me every single time since you and Daniel made an alliance. I feel used, and like you threw me under the bus. In fact now I start to believe that you lost the final Immunity on purpose just because you knew Daniel will bring you. Daniel told me that you told him that you didnt have a final two alliance. Right there I feel kinda hurt because I felt like I have been with you since the start. Daniel, I knew you would never bring me to the fianls, because you even said that you have a better shot at winning against Shawna. But why even lie to me, you could of been straight up like I was to you.

Daniel Why should I even vote for you even though I have only talked to you like twice in this entire game, where Shawna and I talked quite alot. Even though you voted me out right before the finals.

Shawna I feel like you have thrown me under the bus, stomped on me and left me there. You basically used me to get to where you are in this game. So for all this, Why should I vote for you?

Daniel and Shawna I want you to tell me all the things in this game where you are proud of. Because really I cant think of that many things that you guys did in this game. Then I want you to say out of the final nine, which TWO people would replace you in the finals, and which TWO people would not make the finals and why. Then I want you guys to choose FIVE members of the entire cast and tell me which ones you think will make All-Stars and why.

But if you have not noticed, Survivor is a social game, and you need to be very socialy capeably for this game. I dont think you guys where that social in this game at all. Tell me Im wrong and how.

Since this is a social game, I want to see if you have gotten to know me.

• What is my real name?
  
• Where am I from?
  
• How old am I?
  
• Who is my favourite survivor?

Now since that part is done, I want you to compare the jury with real survivors and tell me why this person is related to them.

Thats all for now, congrats and good luck in the finals!

I dont think that myself and shawna have been that social. Shawna was on an original tribe with you and was given more oppurtunities to talk with you. I could have spoken to you more, and I apologize because I didnt. I didnt speak with you until the end so I really dont know if you should vote me. Im not going to lie about it. I basically voted you out because I hadnt spoken to you so, I guess we were in the same boat.



Daniel and Shawna I want you to tell me all the things in this game where you are proud of. Because really I cant think of that many things that you guys did in this game.

I was proud of getting to know the people I did in this game. I was proud of how I got here. and I was proud of the decisions I made along the way, and the final 2 immunites i won.

I would say Alex and Jeanne deserve to be in the final 2 because they played the game really well and really hard.

I would say Ryan and Joanna. I really liked them but we never really had a lot of talks and stuff. Even though Joanna was my partner we communicated well, and then she left without me knowing a lot more about her and he gameplay.

The 5 people I would give an all-star spot to is...

Shawna and Daniel- Because they were the final 2 and outlasted everyone else, no matter what other people think of their gameplay.

Jeanne and Alex - They played this game harder then anyone else but luck wasnt on their sides at tribal council.

Christy- you werent targetted, and you kept your idol until the end. You played a good quiet game.



But if you have not noticed, Survivor is a social game, and you need to be very socialy capeably for this game. I dont think you guys where that social in this game at all. Tell me Im wrong and how.

I think you are right, Survivor is a social game. I didnt play a social game, my game was quiet even though i kept getting a vote at TC's for some reason. But I kept in the game, speaking with the people I did. But I agree was wasnt very social.



Since this is a social game, I want to see if you have gotten to know me.


[/li][li]What is my real name? Ryan
[/li][li]Where am I from? US
[/li][li]How old am I? 20
[/li][li]Who is my favourite survivor? Christy

I didnt get to know you well enough, so i dont know sorry.

Now since that part is done, I want you to compare the jury with real survivors and tell me why this person is related to them.

I will finish this part later.

[Dave Johnson]

LOL, I never knew Christy was a guy. You said you would have to put on a bikini before... oh well. Its none of my business!


Anyways, I have my mind already made. But I can be persuaded.

As far as I know, Daniel is new to the series and Shawna this is your second season.

I played as.... Greg, Jeff, Silas, Robert and Erin in the past seasons.

I want you to list which person that I played you liked best and then list them 1 being your favorite and 5 being the lowest. Then give reasons why you liked them... EXCEPT, list reasons why you liked me playing as them not the actual player. If you didn;t really know anything about them...


Go to the archives and look em' up

[Alex Bell]

*rolls eyes* its always about you dave....

I'll ask my questions later i have to think of actually questions that can help me try to decide who of those two dissappointing finalists to vote for

[Christy Smith]

Yea, Im not a guy..

[Joanna Ward]

Congrats on making it to the final two.

Tell me who was most and least valuable to you in the game. Please pick one for each, and they must be from the jury.

Thanks!

[Jeanne Hebert]

Sorry, I have no questions. Thats how bad this final two sucks. I don't care to know anything personally. The person I will be voting for is SHAWNA because she actually talked with me throughout the game, was honest with me, from what I knew (since we talked) she actually strategized and played this game. Sorry Daniel.

CHRISTY. . . I mean SHAWNA for the win! :-\

Go to the archives and look em' up

1. I liked you playing as Robert the most. You seemed to have alot of power in that game, and played very hard, which I respect. In some ways, I feel you played very similar under Robert as you did with Silas. But I am putting Robert first because you had more competition.

2. Silas would be number 2, for the reasons that Robert is first.

3. I am putting Erin third, because as Erin, you played a good UTR game, but managed to have quite a bit of control over what happened, and ended up winning in the end.

4. Jeff is fourth, because you did know what you were doing strategically, and had some good plans, but got played by other players.

5. Greg is last, just because you were voted off very early, and never got a chance to shine.

Thanks, Joanna!

I would say that the person who was most valuable in the game was Christy, because she played a large part in overthrowing Alex and his allies, and simply put, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Christy's help. I would say that Ryan was least valuable to me, because we never really were with each other in this game. For alot of the time, we were on opposite tribes or alliances.

I did lie to you about taking you to the final 2, and I do apologize for having to lie. But this is a game, and I am going to do whatever it takes to get to the end, and making sure you and Daniel would both take me to the final 2 was one of those things. I did not throw the final immunity challenge, though. I have a fairly slow computer, and I thought 40 was a really good score.
Again, I am sorry if you feel hurt, but this is a game, and I will do what I feel is best.

You should vote for me because I played a better game than Daniel did. I believe I had a better strategy than Daniel did. Although my gameplay wasn't as open as some other players' was, and I may have seemed UTR, but that was what I was trying to do. I wanted to be UTR and part of the alliances in the beginning, and take control when I needed to. And I feel I accomplished that, since I managed to get the people I wanted out in the final 6, final 5, and the final 4, and made it to the final 3 with two people that wanted me in the final 2 with them. I believe I was also more social than Daniel was, since there were some people that I talked to quite a bit.

I am proud of the part I played in starting the Core Four alliance on Jaburu (which consisted of Jeanne, Heidi, and Jenna, and I), of the control I had over the last few tribal councils, of how I managed to make it to the final 2 despite being on a minority tribe at the merge, of how I managed to get Daniel to align with Christy and I at the final 5, and that my strategy worked exactly the way that I wanted it to.

I think that you and Alex deserve to be the final 2 the most. Alex because he was very friendly, managed to make allies of most people, and played the game very hard. I would say you because you came into the merge as an underdog, but managed to find the right alliance, won lots of challenges, and fought your way to the final 3.

I would say Joanna and Dave, because they left early in the merge, before I got the chance to really see how their gameplay would turn out.

I think that the people that get All-Star spots would be me, Daniel, Christy, Roger, and Alex. Daniel and I would get a spot for making it all the way to the final 2; Christy would get a spot because she played a great strategic game, was great at challenges, and fought her way to the final 3; Roger would get a spot because he was also great at challenges, and had a good understanding of the strategic part of the game, but ran out of luck at the end; and Alex would get a spot because he dominated at the strategic game for a quite a while, but was voted off due to being such a big threat.

I agree, that Survivor is a very social game. I think I could have been more social, but I did talk to some of you quite a bit. And to the people who I didn't talk to so much, I did occasionally try to start some conversations, and send some pms.

What is my real name? Jill
Where am I from? Canada
How old am I? 20
Who is my favourite survivor? Darrah

Feb 5, 2009 17:49:27 GMT -5 Christy Smith said:

Now since that part is done, I want you to compare the jury with real survivors and tell me why this person is related to them.

Thats all for now, congrats and good luck in the finals!

Joanna - I will compare Joanna to Dave from the Amazon, due to the fact that they both had alliances that could have worked out for them, but by the time the final 9 came, they were both easy targets for the boot.

Dave - I will compare Dave to Charlie from Gabon. They both had a good strategic understanding of the game, and were both part of alliances that could have gotten them far. But they were both screwed when it was found out that their alliances were not in control.

Jeanne - I will compare Jeanne to Kim P from Africa. Both of them were very nice and social people. They both were part of the dominant alliance during the tribal stages of the game. But when the tribe swap, and later the merge, came around, they were in trouble. They both managed to last for a while, but were voted out due to being threatening to the dominant alliance.

Alex - I will compare Alex to Rob, from the Amazon. They both played wonderful strategic games, and knew exactly what they were doing. But in both cases, people caught onto them, and were both voted out due to being threats.

Roger - I will compare Roger to Tammy, from Marquesas, because both of them managed to do a great job in challenges, and were both in the dominant alliance for a while. But in both games, the outsiders to their alliances came together and picked them off, thus sealing their fate.

Ryan - I will compare Ryan to Teresa, from Africa, because they both played somewhat quiet games, and had good alliances that they were part of, but they were both the last person voted off from their alliance.

Christy - I will compare you to Cirie, due to the fact that you both started off as somewhat of an underdog, but managed to find the right people and the right alliances, and managed to get to the final 3 due to your strategic play. But you were both voted off just before the finals due to your threat statuses.
