Toph’s Responses

Jenny- my game in three words would have to be loyal, quiet, and strategic.

My game play was loyal because if i was allied with someone who wasn't working with other people i always stuck by there side in order to keep myself and my allies safe in the game. My game moves were always surrounded by the people i trusted most in this game, which was always beneficial on my behalf. My game play was quiet because i always flew under the radar, i was never truly my ott self in this game and when i was i would try my best to downplay it. In this game people only wanted me out because i was apart of the other side and not there side, or was it because i was a social and strategic threat? Looks like we will find out after the game. My game play was strategic because through this whole game my paranoia level an anxiety level were breaking the scale higher than before. Every time my tribe and i went to tribal i always tried to make sure everyone was voting for who i asked they were so my plan would always work out for example the willa vote and surviving 12 tribals! I feel like i deserve to win this game and win the title of the sole survivor is because i honestly tried my hardest to win this game! I put all my time and devotion into the game and i played my heart out. I went from my tribe winning immunity to having to give willa the person who trusted me the most a vote to go home. Too serving so many tribals without immunity too having 8 votes against me.

Jenny- i have never seen harry potter so I can't do that… im sorry queen

Ruthie- the three biggest moves i made in this game are gonna be listed from 1 2 3. The first move i made in this game was getting out jenna, willa, and jd Regardless of are beef we had. I still was able to flip my side and the other tribe to vote for jenna to become part of the amazing jury. Getting her out was one of the weird things i had to do in this game because i honestly really did like her and admired her game play. So getting her out wasn't the worst thing to happen regardless of what happened she was a big threat and if she kept going was going to win! She was so good at getting her to vote with her and that worried me that she would find out and come for me! but i bit the bullet and took my chance which worked out. Onto willa. The first boot from are tribe. Before we ever went to tribal me an willa would always talk game but right when we lost immunity he was clearly an easy vote. I honestly hated to see willa go but it was what everyone wanted including myself, i wasn't going to campaign for him to stay since it was my idea for him to go but taking him out was a move of mine that did in fact work off. Now onto Jd a true queen. When Jd came back into the game Nick was automatically against her and JD was automatically against him which is why me and my alliance did not vote for nick to get the boot. Because the vote would automatically come down to the either of them. When this happened i wanted to get daisy out because then the whole game would revolve around jd and nick having power, keeping me and my alliance safe for a while. During the final night on that tribal i hate to lie to jd to tell her she was safe which is not my proudest moment in this game. I was mainly incontrol of this vote but later sided with nick to get JD out because this would mean nick could trust me.

2. One of the other biggest accomplishments i made in this was making it too final 3 in my second ever game! I'm honestly still shocked i got here. But so ever grateful. The fact that my game still has tremendously changed since my first ever game is a big accomplishment. I went from being a ott queen to a calm and more paranoid player. If it wasn't for my complex strategies in my mind i wouldn't have gotten this far. An would have been an easy premerge boot. My strategy for this game was to allen with big targets and quietly work the votes out. I was an honest player but i did get blood on my hands, i will own up to this. Through this game i was always paranoid people were going to come at me and i tried to keep myself safe at every tribal i went too. Which i successfully did. I honestly think that my this is one of biggest accomplishments.

3. My last big accomplishment in this game was my playstyle and my willing to become a puppetmaster behind a few votes or too. I was extremely loyal to the people i worked with an always tried to keep them safe and tell them when there name was coming up. Everything in this game i did wasn't just for them but was also for myself. Everyone i was ever in an alliance with that mattered is now on the jury. I wasn’t afraid to lost them to keep myself going in this game, before Drew went home i had found the idol and i really didn't wanna use it on him because if he made it too the end he would have won. My game play wasn't just listen to whoever the person wanted out and get them out it was based around what would be better for my game moving forward and not just theres. When charlotte went home it wasn't the worst thing to happen she made a huge move and needed to go. I wasn't about to safe her and go home myself i needed to drop her. This game move wasn't just based on what everyone wanted but what was also best for my game. Every time i went to tribal i always told them i felt the vote was on because i wanted to see if people were lying, this plan normally did work out and kept me from getting anxious because i always knew if my name was up in the air. This plan especially worked out at the jd vote. Another strategy of mine was being able to fly under the radar while bigt targets were being voted off. An one of the my last biggest accomplishments was playing my idol that sadly got you sent home. I knew if i didn't play that idol my ass would have been grass and i wasn't able to let that happen.

I would like you to give me an example of a game move, strategic or otherwise, that you made; not a decision that was made with one of your allies, or an enemy, but something you decided to do and execute all on your own. From an outside perspective, it looks like you were a vote used to get further into the game without making any of the decisions yourself. I’d like you to prove me wrong. Or if I’m not wrong, explain how you turned that into a strategy.

Charlotte- my whole game play wasn't just a point and shoot play. I did indeed make some moves solely based for myself to get further in this game. For example during the Drew vote i had the power to keep him safe, my ride or die, my number one ally but i turned my back on him in his time of despair. I wasn't about to waste my idol and him when it could have sent me home had the votes been split. I selfishly kept the idol for myself and let my ride or die. Die. another move i made on my own was getting willa sent home. It was my idea for him to go instead of keeping him when i was close with him and had to blindside him same with adil when i had meet him at my first tribe swap. Let's keep the examples coming, when jd first came back everyone was scared at first on what to do, no one was talking so i had to step up and be the first, when i was talking with everyone my first idea was to get jd sent packing but instead i wanted daisy out because she was inactive and didn't really talk too much, she had a good story arch to win being the last person from her ination tribe. So my idea was to get her packing for fear she was going to the end. But during a lot of consideration, taking out jd would help me become closer to nick. I was able to turn this into a strategy because by allying with big targets i was able to keep myself safe tribal after tribal. For 12 tribals straight! So charlotte i hope i proved i wasn't a big flopping floater!

Daisy- during this final this has been my biggest question. I feel like I didn't float my way to the end but I actually did try my hardest. I played my heart out and i feel like I deserve the spot i have now. During the game my strategy was to lay low an allen with bigger targets than myself and be able to strike when no one was looking, for example the adil vote out, And the jenna vote. My game play wasn't just a point and shoot game. But it was extremely strategic. By being able to lay low i was able to see the biggest targets and plan out who was the biggest targets and see who need to go home. One of the biggest moves i made for this game was having too take out jenna and rallying the votes to get her out after the beef we had. Another move i made was being in power during the jd vote and having everyone instantly being able to instantly want to take her out was one of the bigger things we had. When i made this move it hurt because i really did like her as well as everyone who went home. I just hope you see that my strategy wasn't too float to the end but play strategically as well.

Nick’s Responses

Answer to Ruthie:

Thanks Queen for taking the time to read my opening statement J I do believe that you embodied my strategy when you talked about how everybody either didn’t think I was a threat to their game or was on their good side. Being in this limbo like relationship with everyone was part of the reason I was able to win two social competitions. As well as why Ali couldn’t find another person to vote me out that round he tried to blindside me. It’s ironic how if you go back and look at the titles I received in touch subjects were “Thinks they are controlling the game”, “Is actually controlling the game”, “Best position”, “Most friends”, and “Most final 2 deals” yet nobody seemed to notice and/or care. To answer your question, I would probably be a bit bias and vote for Julia to win. Toph’s game was very erratic and haphazard, he didn’t always fully think things through and kinda just had a “go with the flow” strategy. Julia, although playing UTR was able to come back from redemption and have 0 votes cast against her, but she did have an opportunity for second chance in the game and had previously been eliminated.

Answer to Jenny:

I could best describe my gameplay in these three traits: Calculated, Sociable, and Aggressive.

My game was calculated because I was very strategic and analytical when it came to who I wanted to leave and when. I consider all options and would think about everybody else’s connections before determining who the biggest threat to my game moving forward was. Such as I said in my answer to Charlotte, the people I choose to target partially had to do with who they were aligned with. I wanted to make sure that people felt closest to me so I got rid of people who got in-between me and others i.e. Ali, Drew, and Nicholas.

My gameplay was to be sociable. I built up many connections with a lot of people and initiated alliance to further myself in the game. I created alliances such as: Nicholas/Julia/Me, Drew/Toph/Me, Ruthie/Nicholas/Charlotte/Me, Toph/Charlotte/Me. I reached out to multiple people in the game and had social ties with a lot, if not everybody sitting in jury… something the other two sitting next to me cannot say. Not to dig on Toph and Julia, but they both have told me time and time again that they had limited relationships with many people in the game, sometimes not even messaging them at all.

Lastly, my game was aggressive. I vied for immunity wins, not really because I needed them but to prove I was a competitor and strengthen my case for tonight. I made cut-throat game moves and got rid of close allies to ensure I would be sitting here tonight. I did not sit idle and wait for game moves to happen, I made the moves happen. I was an initiator.

I believe all three of these traits prove that my game was the most multi-faceted and well rounded. I was social and liked when I needed to be, part of the reason nobody really ever considered targeting me, even when I didn’t have immunity. I was strategic and calculated with my moves making sure to consider everything leading up to a game move and making sure that I was a favorable candidate to win next to the finalists. And I was aggressive with how I played the game, I made moves that needed to be made in order to further myself such as taking out other competitors, such as Drew, Nicholas, and Charlotte.

Adil: Justin Finch-Fletchley, involved in some of the plot yet sometimes easily forgotten as a character. However, still involved in the story and Dumbledore’s Army but very UTR.

Jenny: Hermione, super freaking smart and a strong independent women. Everybody loves you and your individualistic self. You are one of a kind

Jenna: Lavender Brown, you love telling everybody about your crackt relationship but honestly you are really a super sweet and funny girl.

J.D: Angelina Johnson, because let’s be real J.D. would totally be a Quidditch player and probably kick all our asses like she did on Redemption.

Ali: Seamus Finnigan, he is a very likable character but manages to make mistakes every once in a while like when he came for me in this game ;(

Drew: Harry Potter, if Drew was a wizard he’d probably be one of the most powerful ones to ever exist. Also Drew is a main character let’s be real.

Ruthie: Ginny, a bright wizard and very likable. She is secretly a badass and kicks ass on the Quidditch pitch. Super sweet to her friends and people she loves.

Nicholas: Dean Thomas, friends with a lot of people in the story and honestly just a straight up guy. A great wizard and Quidditch player, too.

Charlotte: McGonagall, one of the most powerful witches and a truly smart women. She seems scary until you get to know her (or at least that was my experience with her in the game). The best teacher in Hogwarts.

Daisy: Tonks, Daisy kind of camo through this game and Tonks is one of my favorite characters. Daisy is very likable and an overall stellar witch.

Julia: Luna, can be ditzy sometimes and not really know what is going on but is one of the best friends you could ask for. Not to mention she can teach you how to keep away the nargles.

Toph: Neville, an acquired taste, but probably one of the most genuine people to play this season. He is a good friend and loyal all the way. 10/10 knows his plants.

Me: Fluffy, the three-headed dog. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m adorable but scary at the same time. Also I like to sleep so.

Answer to Charlotte:

As you said, I wasn’t banking on jury management during the season. I played a very cut-throat and “back-stabby” game because I knew if I played any other way I wouldn’t be sitting here tonight. As I said in my opening statement I partially had a hand in almost everybody leaving during merge. I purposefully targeted castaways that would get between me and other people who I could work with… even if I was aligned with said castaway. Part of the reason I targeted Ali because he got between my alliance with Toph and Drew. Part of the reason I targeted Drew because he got between alliances I had with you, Toph, and Ruthie. Part of the reason I targeted Ruthie because she got between my trio with Nicholas and Julia. Lastly, part of the reason I targeted Nicholas because he got between my alliance with Julia. Especially with jury being constructed of J.D. (somebody who I have history with), Ali (one of the only people who actually tried to get me out and expose me), and one (now two) people who have me deleted as a contact, I did not feel like jury was going to be so keen on my gameplay. I feel it is better to own my ruthless game-play because if I didn’t get out certain people in the pecking order I wanted it would not be realistic for me to be sitting here, or if I was I would be labeled as relying too much on my idols and would probably lose that way. I am proud of the game I played and I don’t think I would really change anything. Thanks for the question.

Answer to J.D:

I can’t really sort everyone but I’ll try and sort the people I was on a tribe with. Most of these are probs wrong but I tried ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

L.A: Gryffindor

Adil: Ravenclaw

Jenny: Hufflepuff

Jenna: Gryffindor

J.D: Slytherin

Ali: Ravenclaw

Drew: Ravenclaw

Ruthie: Gryffindor

Nicholas: Slytherin

Charlotte: Ravenclaw

Daisy: Slytherin

Julia: Gryffindor

Toph: Hufflepuff

Nick: Ravenclaw

Answer to Daisy:

In my opinion Toph played a much for sporadic game. He was loyal, yes, but he sort of just went with the flow and followed people. He was used as a random vote in most of the game and never really came up with any game moves by himself during the merge. Julia had a second chance in this game and had already been eliminated. You could consider that as port of the game or as saved by a twist, but she did get voted out which you have to think about when casting your vote tonight. Julia also told me multiple times that there were tons of people she had not communicated with at all this game, even Toph told me last night that her and Julia haven’t exchanged words in over a month. Julia as well didn’t conceive any of her own “big game moves”.

For the reason I stated in Ruthie’s answer I would probably still be biased and vote for Julia because I worked with her since practically day one. I do think you played a good game, but you kind of slept UTR because you had Jenny’s super idol.

Adil: Even thought I was on a tribe with you for a very short time and didn’t talk to you that much, the few times we spoke I thought you were a very nice guy. Also you are from the U.K. so get shook America.

Jenny: I absolutely fucking love you. I came into this game instantly wanting to be aligned with you and was lucky I was placed on the same OG tribe as you. If you put time into this game you could have easily smoked us all because everyone thinks your rad. I was literally debating playing the opal necklace on you when you were going to self-vote but then I knew all hell would break lose and everybody would be pissed at me.

Jenna: I have honestly seen you “grow up” through ORGs. You are super fun to play with in these games and are such an interesting and crazy character. I wish we had the opportunity to work more closely this season, but you obviously were playing the game well because you made one of the most crackt votes in the season.

J.D: You are a fucking badass, even though I don’t think you really like me, but I respect you a lot and I think you played really strong, especially for being able to comeback from redemption twice.

Ali: You were one of the only people who tried to come for me this game and I give great kudos for that. I was gag’t when you played the wand and almost sent me home with an idol. You were super fun to play with and I wish we could have worked more closely at merge.

Drew: You are genuinely one of the smartest and funniest people I’ve met in this community. I was super excited to have a chance to play our first game together and I thoroughly enjoyed working with you. You were really running this game and had a lot of people who wanted you to stay. I know you have me deleted or whatever but I really do not hate you, I just knew if I wasn’t able to get you out I’d have a slim chance of making it to the end or winning.

Ruthie: Bitchhhhhh you knew I fucking love you. You are one of my favorite people in this community and I was so shook when my one vote sent you home. I enjoy playing with you every time and even if we weren’t number #1s this game it was so fun playing with you. You had a really under-rated game and I would have loved to see how you would have done if I wasn’t cast in this game. You were close to a lot of people and nobody really saw you as too big of a threat.

Nicholas: You were so fun to work with and you were truly my number one from the start. I knew you had really good connections with a lot of the jury and would probably beat me in the end. If Charlotte didn’t win immunity that round I think you would have easily made final 4.

Charlotte: I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet you and play with you before I go on hiatus. You were one of the sweetest and coolest people I’ve ever worked with in an org. I felt so bad about getting you out but I felt you were my biggest competition and was most likely going to be the reason I was voted out or lost at FTC. You played a really good game and you should be proud of that. Easily P.O.T.S.

Daisy: I was so happy I could play with you into the end game this time because other games we played it didn’t end up like that. You played a very fluctuating game and had a lot of ups and downs. I would have been really curious to see hwo you would have done if you had more OG Firenze at merge or if you had more time and energy to play the season out. Thanks for asking me a question J

The main reason I was telling you how I wanted out Drew was because I was testing the waters to find out who was really close with him and who was not and I wanted to confide in you that he was somebody we needed to keep our eyes on. It didn’t make sense to vote out Drew while redemption was in play because he would easily have come back and targeted my ass hard core. I was not very close with Jenna in this game and I had the Toph and Drew alliance on the side, which I really wanted to stick with because I knew after Drew left Toph would be loyal to me and stick with me for the long haul. If I could go back I would not change my vote, nobody knew how long Redemption was going to last and having Drew on my side was something I believed to benefit me especially since he was connected to a lot of people I hadn’t been on a tribe with leading up to merge. If there was anything I would change about my game… I don’t really think so. I got people out in the order I mostly wanted and was able to make FTC and have a strong case for the jury. I do not believe I relied on immunity wins, I had very strong social bonds with a lot of people not to mention multiple idols which would have saved me if I didn’t have immunity. The immunity basically served as a way to allow me to keep my idols as long as possible and to build my case at FTC. Even when I didn’t win immunity I was still able to stay in the game, such as during final 6 and final 5. There was a never a time I thought I would leave because I didn’t win the challenge because you have to remember I had the Thestral idol secretly in my pocket since round 2, I didn’t really think I was going anywhere if I didn’t manage to win an immunity.

I appreciate your after talk about how “not voting someone solely based of jury management…” because you being able to make it to final 4, makes you have, in my opinion, the most crucial and insightful information on how the jury should vote.
