Statements/Questions

[Peih-Gee Law]

I have company over and am busy right now. I'll answer the remaining questions and do my final statement later tonight.

[Peih-Gee Law]

To brit541541:

PG: Compare each Juror to someone in real survivor, then explain why.

Crazy James - Rob Mariano (Marquesas) - Crazy, competitive, and the merge's first victim.
Christian - Andrew Savage (Pearl Islands) - Strong player which got him voted off early in the merge.
brit541541 - Colleen Haskell (Borneo) - Sweet girl but quickly got outplayed.
michaelnsync - Terry Deitz (Exile Island) - The king of challenges.
Elizabeth - Jennifer Lyon (Palau) - Nice girl who was hard to read.
Eliza - Eliza Orlins (Vanuatu/Micronesia) - Sneaky one who did what she could to try and save herself.
mvonneumann - Cirie Fields (Exile Island/Micronesia) - Great strategist who should have made the final two.
kathleen - Parvati Shallow (Micronesia) - Another great player who made all the right moves.
Shadowz - Amanda Kimmel (China/Micronesia) - Also played well, but kept his game hidden.

To Elizabeth:

Tell me who do you think each juror will vote for to win, and why. Thanks and good luck

Michael asked the same question, but I'll answer it again. I changed my mind on Eliza anyway.

Votes for Peih-Gee: mvonneumann, kathleen, michaelnsync, Christian, Crazy James, Elizabeth, Eliza
Votes for Renny: Shadowz, brit541541

I believe the first six people I listed will vote for me for perceiving my gameplay to be better than Renny's. I showed myself as a competitor and a player from the very beginning, while Renny stayed low key and is now only telling you how she played.

Since Eliza already said she thinks I played the game better than Renny, I now think that I will get Eliza's vote. I am less sure of how Shadowz and Brit will vote, but their alliance with Renny might give her an edge over me.

To Christian:

1. I have made it clear I believe Survivor is social game. So both you please explain your social game.

In the beginning, I was one of the strongest in Cauto and there were plenty of inactives, so I knew was safe. Even so, I talked to the other strong members such as Max and Crazy James. We shared our thoughts on who was more active and who should be voted off. At the time, we hardly even noticed Renny was there in our very own tribe.

In the merge, after Crazy James was voted off, I continuously talked to the other Cauto members to organize us into voting together. From then on, I usually felt that it was me, Max, and Kathleen who were calling the shots and discussing who should be voted off next.

2. Survivor is all about startegy too. What was your strategy, and what was YOUR best move in the game, not your alliances.

My strategy in the tribal stage was to prove myself a valuable member of Cauto by contributing as much as I could. I wanted to keep my tribe strong, so we would have enough numbers when the merge came.

My strategy post-merge was to form a voting bloc with old Cauto and to put myself in the best possible position within that Cauto alliance. I tried to keep a balance--to appear fairly active, social, and part of the decision-making to show I was playing the game, while trying not to appear too threatening at the same time. For instance, Max was probably perceived as the most threatening, while Shadowz, and even Renny to an extent, was perceived as tagging along--although Shadowz's game was more complex than that, but that's how he was generally perceived). So when it came down to the five original Cautos having to turn on each other and Renny had immunity, Max and Shadowz were more so targetted than me because of the way I carefully positioned myself.

My biggest independent move was probably leading the way in voting off Michael. Some of the others like Max wanted to vote off Eliza for being sneaky with this all-girl alliance she was proposing. At the time, Michael was a bigger threat to me who could have kept winning immunity, and I didn't feel that Eliza was going after me. If Michael was spared and won immunity again in the final seven, he would have made final five automatically, and the Cauto alliance would have had to vote off one of their own already because it was a double elimination.

3. Finally, please explain WHY you should win.

Kathleen asked the same question, so I'll put up what I said to her.

I should win this game because I believe my gameplay had the perfect balance of dedication, strategy, loyalty, honesty, challenge competence, and adapting to keep myself in a good position. I made my presence known as a player from beginning to end of the game. Renny saying that she took me to the final two because she didn't want an easy win already speaks volumes that I played a respectable game.

But to add to that, I really do believe that I played better than Renny and without the advantage of being a spy. Despite what Renny says, being a spy WAS an advantage. For example, she was able to learn from reading confessionals that her ally Brit wanted her out, so Renny voted out Brit.

To refute some more things Renny claimed, I was NOT almost eliminated three times. It happened once in the F10 tribal council when the two sides were still fighting it out; the other few times I got votes were lone random votes that made no impact on the results. Also, what Renny said here is NOT true:

PG Follwed Mvonneumann and did exactly what he said

Max and I had our own minds and explained our own ideas and plans with each other. Our conversations were not just limited to "Who are you voting for?" or "I'll vote the same." For instance, in the final eight, Max wanted Eliza out, but I wanted Michael out. Also, when Max and I were debating ahead of time on who we wanted in the final three with us, he was leaning more towards Kathleen, while I was thinking Shadowz who I was a little closer to. My point is that I did not merely follow anyone blindly, and I had my fair share in the decision-making within the alliance.

Finally, I believe that the position I put myself within the Cauto alliance was much better than Renny's. She had a sub-alliance with Shadowz, but she was generally at the bottom of the totem pole of the Cautos. Had Renny not won immunity in the final five, she most likely would have left. In the F5 tribal council when the Cautos were forced to turn on each other, I didn't get a single vote. I must have done something right to avoid being targetted.

Again, Renny herself said she thought I played well and that she wanted a challenge in the F2. Even Renny's fellow spy and ally, Eliza, just said that she thinks I played the game better.

[Peih-Gee Law]

My Closing Statment:

Thanks for all your questions and comments. It's been fun and a great honor playing with all of you. In my last response to Christian, I pretty much covered it all in terms of reasons on why I believe I deserve to win. I showed myself playing the game from the beginning and strategically positioned myself in a strong alliance. Meanwhile, Renny stayed low key and is now only telling you how she played. On top of that, she had the advantage of being a spy which I didn't. Overall, I think I played the better and more balanced game. I would really appreciate your vote.

Thank you everyone, and may the best player win.
