To speak more on gaming... Christy, your move with blindsiding Erin was one of the defining moves this season, along with Ted and Rob's mutinies (we'll get to that in a bit). A lot of people don't know exactly how close that was. Can you talk to me about how you went through deciding if you should play it on yourself and Joanna? Why did you ultimately play it on yourself? Why target Erin?

Blindsidin Erin... hmm. It came together for a number of reasons, and almost everyone had a hand in how it played out. So at the F7 it was four Helios and three Asteria. We desperetaley needed something, so I tried working on Penny to flip on Helen. Since we thought that Penny and Erin were a clear pair, I started talking with Erin as well. But Penny decided that she's not going to flip at seven, and that she'll flip at six instead. At that point I couldn't let any Asteria go. So I told Penny that I'm willing to vote Rob. At this point the plan was to play the diol on him.
At the same time Erin messaged Joanna, and as she saw me and Rob as a pair, she asked Joanna that what's going on and what shit I'm trying tp pull. Joanna reported me back this. Clue #1.

Then somehow Joanna got reeled in the plan by Penny. Her plan was that me, Jo and her will vote for Rob, while Helen, Brian and Penny will vote for Jo, so basically Jo 'needed to vote for Rob to survive'. On the other hand my plan was to play the idol on Jo (since she was supposed to get three votes), while Asteria voted for Helen, and Penny votes for Rob.

Then Helen started interrogating me. That she cannot believe that I'm willing to vote Rob out and stuff like that. This was clue #2.
Then Joanna sent me a PM about how I shouldn't trust them. Clue #3.
Then Penny reminded me in my last PM that Helen/Erin/Brian will vote together. Clue #4

Putting the clues together I realized that the votes won't be for Joanna, because she was strictly targeted by Penny, and I realized that Rob wasn't going to get votes either, because that would've been too risky if the indeed plays the idol.

In last mintue PMs we decided on Erin, because of the lie that she had the idol. But the intention was to get Helen out.

To the members of Loser's Lodge, who were you rooting for?

Helen (Brian at points too). And from the merge, Helios in general.
But I also loved Joanna and Christy. Christy you pulling out the idol was my favorite moment all season (sorry erin icon_weep

), and Joanna you are one of the funniest people I've ever "met"

And i always wanted to work with Ryan but he was all over the place so in the end i thought it would be better to let him go, but it was a hard decision because i liked him.

I'm still not 100% sure things would have gone any better if he had stayed.

Hi Shawna *waves*

If Jeanne arrives later and reads back, I am curious as to what you might have done had Ted left instead of you that night. Would you have stayed loyal to Shawna & Asteria, or would you have wanted Rob out so bad you would have considered flipping to Helios to do so?

As Jeanne #1 fan i have to say that she was a very reasonable person, i have no doubt she would stomach Rob as long as it was necessary, so that the whole tribe could make it far.

Let's talk about two of the biggest characters this season that could not make it here for two very different reasons.

The first is Ted. Ted is no doubt the most polarizing character this season. I personally found his flip flopping as the most intriguing strategy I had ever seen on Stranded ever... I cannot believed it worked so many times.

Brian, I actually think you were one of hte main reasons Ted ended up going when he did. Talk me through that a bit.

Erin, what were you feeling when he first mutinied, did you think that Helios was done for?

Christy, did you fully trust Ted?

Joanna, What were you feeling when he turned on you guys in the merger?

I distrusted Ted from the very get-go. When we voted out Ken and Ted revealed his idol, I was quick to agree to his plan and get him to the other side. Why? The idol would not be used on me during pre-merge, the leader of Asteria (in our mind) Rob would be purged, Ted was the least trustworthy person on our tribe and if he was successful and did return, we would immediately vote him off. I disliked Ted in the game and in Ponderosa. Helios was better off without him.

Was I? I felt like this was combined between me and Helen, but basically for me personally, I felt like my alliance that started with Jake and Ted had turned into me and Ted when we merged. Then, we added Helen into it in place of Jake. And basically, like with everyone else, Helen started talking to Ted WAY MORE than I did, so I could only hear his thoughts from her because a lot of my messages seemed to go unanswered.

What basically set us over the edge with Ted was when we realized that he was going to Asteria and not even telling me and Helen all the details, I believe. We just realized we couldn't 100% trust him to be our loyal follower with the idol that we originally intended. And we also saw that he was becoming a huge force as far as naming targets, winning challenges, and controlling votes so had a good chance of winning. I pointed this out to Helen, and we discussed it and tried to get him voted out.

I didn't even trust Rob fully! icon_laughing

But yes, I trusted him more than I should have.
