*~*Welcome to Candice's Q&A!*~*

Hey guys!

I first want to congratulate you guys on succeeding in defeating all the other people in this game. It was an amazing game and the fact that you survived all the way through is a great accomplishment.

Skupin:

Me and you have gone a long way since we first met each other. It was a shock that we were actually able to put the past aside and work together in this game. But at the moment is seems now that Elyse has played the overall stronger game.

I want you to defend your game. Say what you did better than Elyse and why you think you should win over her. I'm not saying to bash her or anything, but just give reasons to why you are more deserving.

I also never really got a grasp on your relationships with any of the other jurors since we only started working together after many were voted out. What were your opinions on each of the jurors and how exactly were they a part of you getting to the end.

Good luck! Check on the bottom for the question for both of you.

Now to Elyse:

I need to applaud you on how you dominated this game. At one point of the game, I really didn't like you. I thought you were sneaky, fake, and just a bitch. It shocks me that in just one day I was able to completely change my mind about you, which I hope you did for me (even though that's hard after I just called you a bitch, haha). I would like to know how you felt about me before we started working together after John was voted out.

A huge thing that separates you from Skupin is the fact that you won a lot of immunities. Would you consider that you somewhat relied on immunities? Do you think you'd make it to the end without them? Why or why not?

And lastly, during the final days of the game me and you explained a few times that we were going to be the final 2. But judging by your relationship with Skupin and your FTC answers, I don't think you were actually legitimate. Were you honestly gonna take me to the end? I would like an explanation.

Thanks Elyse! Good luck.

Okay, well now on to the questions I would like for you both to answer.

I want you to rank the jurors on gameplay and their chances of winning.

Thank you guys, I look forward to your answers.

Hey Candice! <3

I need to applaud you on how you dominated this game. At one point of the game, I really didn't like you. I thought you were sneaky, fake, and just a bitch. It shocks me that in just one day I was able to completely change my mind about you, which I hope you did for me (even though that's hard after I just called you a bitch, haha). I would like to know how you felt about me before we started working together after John was voted out.

Well thanks for thinking I dominated lol

Well of course it changed my mind to talk to you and get all of our dirty laundry out in the open, and obv you did prove that you were good on your word.

I think you think I hated you alot or something, and thats not really true. my plans had always been to stick with mahtava and vote Calua off, and that was part because of my loyalties and part cause I knew that there were some people who had crosstribe friendships and since I didnt that meant it was safer for me to get rid of Calua. so yup I wanted you gone but it wasnt personal, it was just that Id alreayd made up my strategy.

So i didnt have much of a opnion about you one way or the other until the round Miki left when you sent me that big PM and told me some stuff that I figured wasnt true, and then you voted for me so I thought for sure you were a huge liar who would say anything to stay, so thats why I didnt trust you. But i always knew its a game so I didnt take it personal but I still wanted you to go cause youd voted me. lol

Would you consider that you somewhat relied on immunities? Do you think you'd make it to the end without them? Why or why not?

no I def did not rely on Immunities. that would be stupid because you will never know what challenge will be coming and you cant just assume you will win them, so every round when I thought about how to vote it was always assuming I wouldnt be immune and would have to take risks. I think I def could of made it to the end without them though cause except you and Miki people didnt really want me gone (or atleast they havent said that they did).

Were you honestly gonna take me to the end? I would like an explanation. [/color]

well to be honest that was something I thought long and hard about. There were days where I thought Id def take you, and days where I thought Id def take Skupin. Obv both you and skupin were mega threats against a jury, because he was someone that was seen as controlling and you were the underdog. Both of you had been loyal to me and helped me do stuff and even thuogh you voted Skupin instead of Christa you atleast were honest about it, so if I would of had to choose between two people that were loyal to me and who were both equal threats, so it would of been a really tough decision. tbh Im not sure what I would of done. I dont wanna say "no I was lying to you the whole time' because I did def consider taking you a LOT, but I also dont wanna say "yes I would of def taken you" because thats also not completely true. So honestly I think I would of flipflopped about it between you guys right up until it was time to vote. And thats not a great answer and Im sorry but thats the truth.

-But if you really want me to say outright who I think I would of ultimately picked I can pick one I guess but I honestly dont really know what Id have done.

I want you to rank the jurors on gameplay and their chances of winning.

umm Im not sure if you want two separate lists or just one? let me know and I will answer!

also I love your pictures! <3

[Candice Woodcock]

Thanks! And yeah, one list.

[Michael Skupin]

I want you to defend your game. Say what you did better than Elyse and why you think you should win over her. I'm not saying to bash her or anything, but just give reasons to why you are more deserving.


Why should I win over Elyse? I made a lot of decisions in this game. Even though others are claiming them, I ultimately decided on who would leave. That started with Osten. I knew Osten from previous games, both played in and hosting him, and I knew he wouldn’t be of any use to our tribe. Even over the inactive Parvati. It was my conversations with people that helped me further myself in the game. Yes, my name was out there to get rid of for a very long time but I managed to remain in the game both with my conversations with people, plus my allies standing by my side, and having the right people still in the game. Example being that of the original Miki vote. I know Miki was s’posed to leave that round but Brandon had to play his honorable game and fill her in on the vote. This resulted in him leaving instead.




I also never really got a grasp on your relationships with any of the other jurors since we only started working together after many were voted out. What were your opinions on each of the jurors and how exactly were they apart of you getting to the end.



Judd - My relationship with Judd is still pretty new. We had only played one game together before *Again 3* in which he threw me under the bus to save his own ass essentially. I don’t totally blame him for that; I just wish he would’ve thrown someone else under the bus instead.


Colby – Yes, Colby and I are friends outside of the game and we never had any deals except for a deal to tell one another if we were voting the other out. We would figure out if we would align once tribes were chosen, if we ended up on the same tribe, etc. Then I made the mistake of letting Judd in who Colby was. I didn’t straight up say Colby is X, I just said X was in the game. He put 2 and 2 together. Colby was very torn between his alliance with Judd and his semi-alliance with me. We had a round by round deal at that point in time. So then Colby and I aligned the round he left. At that point in time, it didn’t matter to me who left. I wasn’t sure if you would ever trust me or if he and I would trust one another.


Ibe – Ibe leaving really had not much to do with me and my game. He wasn’t around and was an easy target that everyone would agree on.


Brandon – Brandon and I had our issues at the beginning of the game. He didn’t like us voting out Osten, what we all didn’t know was that he and Osten had a F2 alliance. That came to light at our TC results when Osten left. It really opened my eyes as to why he didn’t want to vote him out. After that, I wasn’t sure if I could trust him or not but he was necessary for me to continue on in the game. Since I had nothing to do with his blindside, I really can’t comment on that.


Miki – Miki, Bob, Jenna, and I had made a semi-final 4 alliance during the Race to Sausage Island challenge. Once the tribes were picked and I was out of the Calua tribe and on Mahtava then I knew I had to make some alliances. Once Miki and Jenna joined me on my tribe, I knew I was in some cross-hairs. Miki had blindsided Brandon which did help my game and then for us to turn around and vote her out kept me and my allies right in the thick of this game.


John – John is a great kid and yes I can call him and everyone else in this game kid because I am older than every one of you LOL. Anywho, John and I had chatted some through PM throughout the game. We would discuss the vote and he would always been pretty down to vote whoever everyone else was. Since John and I didn’t have an official alliance, blindsiding him was perfect to shake this game on its head.


Alex – Alex and I are actually very good friends. We met in a previous game where I did blindside him but we were both alias entering this game so I did not know who he was in the beginning. A few rounds in he and I were talking about said game and we found out that not only we knew one another but who we were in that game. He even said to me at that point in time, I would love to go to every member of this cast and badmouth you but you’re one of the few sane people in this game. So we put our past aside and worked well together once again. We both decided that we <3’d Elyse and grabbed her as a third ally. I really should have expected him to attempt to blindside me at some point and I would have deserved it for blindsiding him previously. I was not, however, going to go down that easily. Had I not found out from Elyse and you, then I would’ve gone out in 5th place. I did find out and the rest is history.


Christa – Christa and I have talked here and there but I don’t feel as close of a connection as I do many of the others in this game. I figured out the round that John left that Alex and her are close. I should have gone with my gut and found a way to blindside her then anyways, but I hoped for the best. As far as how she helped me get to the end, she really was just a vote until I didn’t need her any more. I am glad that she voted you the round that she left, instead of voting for me which I fully expected. I knew that it was going to go to a tie-breaker challenge and I knew I would have a run for the money against her.


Candice – I am really glad that we got to work together in the late stages of the game. Although that now means I don’t have anyone that I automatically go against any more in any game I play LOL. You played a huge part in me getting to the end because it was your ability to put our past aside and vote out John with that critical vote. Then to once again give me a grain of trust and vote out Alex with Elyse and myself also was extremely critical as well. That could have gone either way and I’m glad you chose to vote with Elyse and myself.



I want you to rank the jurors on game play and their chances of winning.



Judd – Judd had a very strong chance of winning the game but I know this game wasn’t big enough for both him and me in it. We both have very big and strong personalities and this game may have blown up if we stayed in it together.


Colby – Colby didn’t have much of a chance to win this game. Colby was caught in between a couple of key alliances and he essentially got caught playing all sides. Since he was caught before the merge, I would guess that no one would take that and would have hung him out to dry.


Ibe – Ibe is another one that didn’t have much of a chance of winning the game. He was always invisible on AIM and since a major portion of the game is the ability to be social, that would make for him to have an early exit.


Brandon – I think Brandon may have had a middle of the road chance of winning the game. Had he learned to keep his mouth a little more shut than he did, and I understand he was trying to take this high road attitude game play, but had he learned to keep what he was doing more at bay, then he may have had a chance. If he continued to play as he did, then he would have met the same fate that he met.


Miki – I think Miki would have had a strong chance of winning the game. She was playing the game well and had that fight in her that very few have shown in this game. She just didn’t fight the round she left; she fought every round making tough decisions each time she went to TC.


John – John would have had a middle of the road chance of winning the game. He has this amazingly sweet and nice personality that could have given him the win. But that in that same respect, that would be the very reason why he lost the game. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and wouldn’t have made any major moves to constitute a win.


Alex – Had Alex’s attempt to blindside me or even had been sitting here with me in the finals, he would have had a very strong chance of winning the game. I give him as much credit for the moves that were made in the game as I have taken. He, Elyse, and I made almost every move together. We discussed it and decided on the best course of action for the three of us. The only one that Elyse didn’t agree with was the John vote. I don’t fault her for that, she stood her ground and stood firm with John.


Christa – Christa is another one that had a strong chance of winning the game. No, I’m going to change that to a middle shot of winning. This is why. Some people will view her winning her way back into the game from RI beginning in Round 1 as a great thing. Some will view that as hey she needed RI to make her way back in the game, she was voted out for whatever reason, so she shouldn’t win.


Candice – You had a very strong chance of winning this game had you been sitting in my seat. You were the last remaining Calua to start and you fought tooth and nail to remain in the game when you clearly should have gone out 6th. I owe a major portion of me sitting here to you and I thank you for that.



Thanks Candice, if you have anything else just let me know <3

[Elyse Mmmmemoto]

sorry this is late, I had to do some school stuff...

I want you to rank the jurors on gameplay and their chances of winning.[/color]

#1. Candice. you def had a great strategy and would of won for sure if you had been in the finals, cause you were able to survive when it looked like you for sure wouldn't.
#2. Alex. Alex had alot of game skill and was able to use his friendships really well, so he was graet at alot of different parts of the game.
#3. Mikayla. Miki was a great strategizer and was totalyl loyal to the people she had deals with so I think she def could of won if she hadnt gotten on the wrong side of numbers.
#4. Christa. Christa played a great stealth game and nobody knew what she was capable of so i think she would of done good against a jury.
#5. Brandon. He was alot of fun to talk to and even though his honesty really hurt him at times he was seen as a leader and would of got votes.
#6. Judd. Judd was a sneaky player who had alot of good strategies but he got outed too early and thats what got him out.
#7. Colby. Colby also seemed to have good strategies and stuff so I think hed have done well if he hadnt gotten in trouble on Lifou.
#8. John. John was a great and loyal person but I think if he would of gotten to the end people would of thought that he didnt make alot of moves.
#9. Ibe. I think Ibe is a good guy but it seems like he didnt do well at social or physical stuff in the game.

My perspective. You know where I'm at if you have anything to say about it.
