Kel & the Muffin's Questions

[Kel Gleason]

Hey girls, congrats on making it to the final two. There was as much skill as there was luck in you making it this far and it is great that you two stuck to your guns the entire time this competition. Now don't get me wrong, there are aspects to your guys' gameplay that I am not fond of personally and it's probably the same when it comes to most of the other jurors but I'll go easy on you girls.

Lets start with you Kelly:

There are a lot of things being pinned on you, both positive and negative. On one side you were just a joy to talk to; very fun, outgoing, I always smile when we talk because you're such a nice person... funny enough though it almost feels like you tried to get away with a bunch of things by being the sort of person that is hard to be truly angry or suspicious towards. It sorta reminds me of how I used my Hero status and things said about my game to take advantage of people's initial perception of me.

Then there is the issue with you coming across as very wishy-washy and indecisive. It took you quite a bit of time to even be upfront with both voting me out and Steph out. Yeah... you are probably sick of hearing this from all of us but that's the common thing that was talked about in Ponderosa.

Also just to get this out of the way because it will bug me forever if I don't explain:

Kel- More Villainous. Last time you played, you never broke any promises. This time, you were more eager to backstab some Heroes and were more willing to throw people under the bus to further yourself in the game.

It's not because I was eager to backstab but I was more-or-less haunted by how I lost so badly in vs1. Yes I did not break any promises but I didn't do anything to earn the votes over Jessie or Brandon. You can be as loyal or nice as you want but if you don't do anything but sit on your ass and hands the entire game you are not going to win, that is something I learned the hard way.

Now, onto my questions for you as an individual:

1) While loyalty and alliances can take you a long way in the game of Survivor, do you not feel that making moves that puts you one step ahead of your fellow competitors, alliance or not, are necessary in order for you to win?

2) You talk about having not made moves on your own but were you ever an influential factor in certain votes? Did you convince your alliance to target a certain someone or did you take the reigns at least once?

3) ... Would you give your place in the Final Two up to the Magic Muffin?

Hehe, now to Elisabeth:

You're a colorful character that is for sure. Smart, level-headed, I enjoy talking to you too but there is the common issue as well with you that a lot of my fellow jurors agree upon that, well...

... You are SO hard to even get in contact with and even when you're on you sometimes don't even respond back. Basically we feel your social game was lackluster, didn't have a lot of polish to it. As wishy-washy as Kelly was she at least talked to us more often while you were more the quiet person of the alliance. Hell though this MAY have worked to your advantage because by you not being so outspoken or talkative, there are probably less people annoyed at you as opposed to Kelly as a result.

Three individual immunity wins... nice, that is all I am going to say. Challenge performance is only going to have a minor role to play in my voting, nothing too influential, but I do need to give you congrats for that as the challenges Bo creates are NOT easy by any stretch of the imagination.

Now to the questions;

1) Would you agree that your social game was lackluster and could have been better? I understand with work and all that, that it must be notably more difficult for you than the others but still...

2) How much of an influential factor did you play in votes? Basically the same question as Kelly, did you take the reigns in any decisions made by the alliance or were you more of a follower?

3) Same question too... would you give your final two position to the Magic Muffin if you could?

That is all, best of luck you two with the rest of the jury questioning!

First I need to ask, are you asking the questions or is the muffin

Anyway, time to answer questions.

Making moves can be important but it can also hurt you. People who "make moves" are more likely to be the backstabbers. People don't always like backstabbers. This is the reason why Russell Hantz has lost two times. He might be a mastermind of the game, he might find a ton of idols but he has zero social skills whatsoever. So while people who make moves might be seen as smart, it doesn't always mean they are the best player overall.

Yes, I do feel I was an influence on the game. I really don't feel as if I was John and Elizabeth's sheep or anything like that. The first example I can think of off the top of my head is the Chicken vote at final 5. I'd been pushing for a Chicken vote for a long time, simply because I was paranoid. I thought for sure he'd have a chance to flip and he'd take it. Yes, we had to change the vote, but that was only due to a last minute change because of the idol. Had that not went down, that vote would have been my idea fully.

And of course, I'd give up my place in the game for the Magic muffin anyday. I wouldn't want to see this again :


And as I said to the others, if you have any more questions ask away, I don't want to leave anything out.

[Kel Gleason]

Interesting... thanks for the information Kelly, fascinated by what happened in the final five and I do think it helps raise your stock a little bit in the sense that you weren't a sheep.

Now just to wait for Ms. Elisabeth and then I'll go from there.

1) I agree...I mean, even after I got off work, I could have put more effort into my social game. I know I'll hear it from every juror, but I prepared myself for it...because it was mainly my fault for not being social.

2) I did play a pretty good role in the votes. I did have to make a decision on whether to vote Ibe and Gary vs Kelly out. Also, in the Final 5, it came down to whether I wanted to risk Chicken playing an idol or not to vote for him. However, I found out later that John and Kelly had to flip to save me.

3) Umm..yes. I'd give him my vote and threaten anyone who didn't vote the Magic Muffin with a beheading ala Gogo style. *giggles*

[Kel Gleason]

Thank you Elisabeth! I have no further questions for you guys, I'm going to sit back and check what my fellow jurors are saying to make the final decision.

"...."

Actually the Magic Muffin does have one last question for each of you. It wants to know if you two were muffins, what kind of muffins would you be?

Thank you and g'night ladies. <3

Mine would be blueberry. I <3 Blueberry...hence the giant muffin I had in camp LOL.

[Kelly Wiglesworth]

Why don't I see that post? Hmm....

Anyway, my answer would be chocolate chip.... Everyone loves chocolate for breakfast right?

Thanks Kel!
