Tribal Council Twelve
Valkyrie-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to your sixth Tribal Council, Valkyrie Tribe. After a grueling three-part Immunity challenge, Britti is safe tonight and now the three boys are in the hot seat as we are just inches away from the final tribal council. One of you will join the jury tonight as its final member. Below you will find a set of questions addressed to everyone. Everyone must reply below with their answer and if you do not - you will receive a self vote. Also, there’s a group of questions that everyone in the tribe must answer. All questions are to be answered here in this thread. Please feel free to say what's on your mind, express yourself because this might be your last opportunity to possibly change your fate in this game. After an individual has answered their questions please go into your confessional and cast your vote. Please create a " Voting History" thread. Cast your first vote there, and all other votes afterward. Below you will find a blank piece of parchment. Please save it to your computer and decorate it however you wish, but please include the name or nickname of the person you are voting out. When you are done decorating, save the parchment again, upload it, and post this in your confessional as your vote. Accompany this parchment with a reason. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions:Brian- It seemed like things might have been over for you last round but Jared was blindsided instead. Do you think you can pull off another blindside and make finals this time? Why or why not? Brittany- This is your third time playing, and your first time ever making finals. How does it feel, and do you think you have a shot at winning this game? Drew- What is the most important thing on your mind as you're deciding your vote? Do you think you're in danger tonight? Ryan- You seemed shocked that Jared was blindsided last round, do you think that you could possibly be next? How would it feel to come so far and fall just short of the Finals? To All of Valkyrie:- How do you convince someone to take you to the final tribal council over another person? - Name one reason specifically why you over anyone else here deserve to win this game. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright folks it's time to vote. All castaways will have 24 hours ( 11:00am EST Thurs) to answer their questions, decorate their vote and post it in their confessional. Once you vote please consider it final. You are allowed to change it, but if everyone has posted their votes before the deadline and one of the hosts is around to send results out early - we will. So please make sure your original vote is fully intended because we do send out results early if all votes are in. A few quick reminders:- Make sure you answer your questions in this thread. - Britti is Immune and cannot be voted against. - Make sure you post your decorated vote in your confessionals. - Make sure you have AT LEAST 2 journal updates before votes are due. Without 2 confessional posts per round will lose their right to vote. If you don’t do your part as a player, then you will not have any influence on who leaves this game.

- This is your third time playing, and your first time ever making finals. How does it feel, and do you think you have a shot at winning this game?
You know, I feel amazing. I'm so proud of my self, because I earned my place in the finals. I played this game different than I did in the two previous seasons and it paid off. I do feel like I have a chance at winning this game. Everyone says Ryan was such a threat in this game, and while he played a damn good game, I think he and I are pretty much equal. We played on the same tribe, we each had to participate in a duel. (me a truel? triple duel?) and we both won two individual immunities.
- How do you convince someone to take you to the final tribal council over another person?
Me? I'd personally beg, and make a fool out of myself at this point cause it would be fun.
PLEASE GUIZZZZZZZZZZZZ PUHLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE TAKE ME TO THE FINALS? RYAN SMELLS FUNNY, DREW DANCES LIKE HE'S RETARDED, AND BRIAN CAN'T COUNT PAST 4.
- Name one reason specifically why you over anyone else here deserve to win this game.
I'm a vet, I've had a target on me since the beginning of the game. I saw Noah leave first and I definitely thought I'd be the first to go when Skorin went to tribal council.

Ryan - You seemed shocked that Jared was blindsided last round, do you think that you could possibly be next? How would it feel to come so far and fall just short of the Finals?
I was definitely shocked that Jared was blindsided. And I think of course there's a chance that I could be next, but I have faith that my friends are faithful just as I am to them. It would really suck to fall just short of finals - I've never made a finals in a game like this, and I've come very close a few times just to get out right before the final tribal council. My game has been reduced to lots of stuff - Other people "not thinking" or being my slaves, the game being "rigged" for me from the start, and all of that other BS, but I know for sure that I've fought hard to get to that final tribal council and I can't give up yet.
To All of Valkyrie: - How do you convince someone to take you to the final tribal council over another person?
Well considering people have been trying since the merge and probably before that to convince others that if I make the finals I'm guaranteed a win, it's obviously been hard. I don't buy into the BS and I don't think anyone else should either. People have been saying that just as a ploy to get me out, but if for one second people don't realize that Brian making the finals would be a landslide victory for him, whereas the "Kalsoy Jury Pact" has been total bullshit from the start, I think it would be pretty foolish.
- Name one reason specifically why you over anyone else here deserve to win this game? I've been the target for so long yet I've been able to bounce back because of the hard work I put in early on to secure myself into a tight and faithful friendship. I've played a game that's true to myself and I'm proud of how I've played.

Drew, What is the most important thing on your mind as you're deciding your vote? Do you think you're in danger tonight?
Every single vote I have casted this whole game has been my own vote. I have never been pressured into a vote I didn’t want to do no matter what anybody thinks. I vote how I want to vote and what I feel is best for me. Simple as that. And even though there is about a 33% chance I could go home tonight, I’m sure the other fellas are feeling the heat more than me. If I go tonight, I’d be shocked.
How do you convince someone to take you to the final tribal council over another person?
I think by the time Final Four hits, a person’s mind is already made up on who they would like to go against in the finals. It would be pretty hard to change that, since I’m sure every player in here knows who their ideal final 3 would be. I guess you can make up nasty rumors to make the other person look bad if you were desperate. *cough* BRIT! I’m not a bad dancer ho!
Name one reason specifically why you over anyone else here deserve to win this game.
I came into this game kind of as an underdog and also a dark horse in a way… since I was sure I would not know nobody in the game. Even though these games have maintained their concept, the dynamics have changed. Such as new communication programs such as skype, which is new to me as a player. I have been away from these games for awhile and I didn’t know if my hiatus would hurt me and I’m defiantly proud of myself that I still have the drive and determination to get as far as I possibly can with my own hands.

:insert holy wall of text:
- It seemed like things might have been over for you last round but Jared was blindsided instead. Do you think you can pull off another blindside and make finals this time? Why or why not?
Haha It’ll be a far shot in hell. The only reason why I was useful last round was because Brit and Drew didn’t want to go into the Final 4 with against Ryan and Jay. It was also Brits attempt to “prove” that she wasn’t a follower of Ryan after my little spat I had on the public forum with everyone. However, based on her current actions now, will only confirm what everyone has said all along.
- How do you convince someone to take you to the final tribal council over another person?
Well, they all seem pretty set on how they’re voting and content with how things are, so I’ll just go and say what I got to say to them all.
RYAN: You played this game well. Out of everyone in this game so far, you’re the only one who really seems to know how to play the game and understand the gift of manipulation. You have manipulated pretty much all of them into thinking you were taking them to the finals, and still after that, having them support you after you screwed them over. The reason why you’re the only one I messaged before we merged was because I knew you were the leader, and I also knew you were calling the shots, so I wanted to look like you could use me. You’re also a great determined competitor.
Where your downfall is your ego and your necessity to prove you’re right about everything. With that public post, the best move for you was to tell your alliance not to respond and just let me look like a crazy person, but yet you guys all took the bait and proved me right about everything I said. And as time progressed, people saw your hostile side that you hid from them, and also saw how arrogant you can be. Now, I’m far from a saint, but I wasn’t arguing that with you guys, I was just pointing out how you had control over them. Your other downfall is probably you should’ve never been put in this game. I know over half of the people in this game this far has either accused or suspected one way or another this game was rigged, you cheated or you were given some advantage over everyone else since your boyfriend was hosting this game, you guys were living together and you guys had to use the same computer (you said so yourself). Regardless if it was true or not, that’s all going to be in the back of everyone’s heads about what happened, especially how some events went down in this game. Which is a shame because ultimately you won’t be respected one way or another because people could all just some it up that you only did well because you cheated and it erases all the time you put into this game.
DREW: I think you’re a funny guy. I do like you. I also felt like we were on the same page with a lot of stuff. I think you were the only one who was able to see Ryan needed to go, you were also fully aware how much of an emotional player Brit is. You have a great idea of how this game is and I could respect that because throughout all of this, you were able to keep a level head when anytime craziness went down. Ryan should’ve handled the public posting like you have because you shown you were above arguing and trying to defend yourself and you actually tried to shame me for being a bad kid lol
I think your downfall is the fact that you’re not around at all. Half the time you’re on invisible because you’re hiding out from people, and then you are very apparent when you’re planning on not sticking to your word because you avoid them like the plague, Brit and you both. Another thing is essentially all you do is Britt, despite knowing the moves she make are emotional and irrational. I don’t think you’ve stepped up to show that you really done much. Out of all four of us, you’re the only one who has not offended anyone in this game, but also because you have just Ryan be the crazy big bad guy and Brit be the crazy emotional one and me be the crazy Kalsoy.
BRIT: I think you’re a nice girl and I do think you mean well. The conversations I’ve had with you weren’t forced. I’m also not going to go crazy on you and threaten my friendship with you like Ryan. I understand what this game is all about. After this game is over, I’m not going to nuts on you or anything. I have never been to the point where I get personal with someone, I understand it’s a game.
Now, as for your downfalls, you have quite a bit. I think out of the three people in this game, you have the least shot at winning. You’ve relied so heavily on playing with your emotions this game, it has completely clouded what was strategically best for you. You’ve essentially taken over Jay’s spot by being that person who was Ryan’s little puppy. Let me explain… At F6, you had an opportunity to prove that you were a power player by taking out the strongest person in the game, Ryan. Instead, you lie to two people and make an alliance with them for now reason, just to vote one of them out because Sheri made accusations about there is definitely favoritism going on in this game. You run to Ryan about the alliance, when you had no reason to but just to get approval by him and Drew just follows along. You still would’ve had majority and I even said I’d take you guys. You screwed up there. Then at F5 you had a chance to redeem yourself, but once again, you chose the easy way out because Ryan would get Immunity like I said he would and you voted out Jay because Ryan was wanting to take him to the finals. So you replaced yourself with Jay to be in the goat position for Ryan. It wasn’t a shocking move, it was just your mild attempt at proving you weren’t his follower, but everyone knew Jay wasn’t getting to the finals. Now at F4, you have a chance to get rid of him because Drew even said he’d be on board, but yet you’re once again afraid to take him out because he threatened his friendship with you.
You’re trying to say you’re a power player, but you’re anything but. Ryan has been a power player, no matter what the circumstance, he was able to convince anyone who dared go against them and reel them back by threats and bullying. You won’t ever be on his level because you tried to hide under the radar the entire time. He wasn’t afraid to because he didn’t need to because he knew he could guilt trip you into anything you wanted. You can’t play the sweetheart role because Drew already took it lol He hasn’t offended anyone in this game. You however, have even said it was your choice to get rid of Sheri, it was your choice to get rid of me, Drew knows Ryan has you manipulated. You’ve pointlessly lied to both Sheri and I, and it was all to keep one person who played a better game than you. You also had endless rants about Jay and Kelman, so they should have no reason to vote for you. Your best shot to win this game is to vote out Ryan and show you are willing to take out the biggest power player, but you’re playing safe, like they all have. It’s not respectable and it won’t give you the win. At least if you came with me and voted out Ryan, you would’ve had made the biggest move in this game. You would’ve been the power player, but yet you’re just another one of his puppies who occasionally acted up and did their own thing, and Ryan just yanked the leash and you realized who was in control, him.
Your game wasn’t based on strategy or what’s best for you, it was strictly off of emotion, and that’s what going to cost you this season. And it’s a shame because you could really have a shot if you were to go up against Drew and I.
- Name one reason specifically why you over anyone else here deserve to win this game.
Ultimately what it boils down to, I’m not looking to win this game. I simply want to get to the finals. As I’ve said to both Drew and Brit, I have no problem revealing the stuff I said about people to have it used against me or even tell people not to vote for me. I just wanted to go through the whole experience of this, especially after getting this far. As mentioned before, I also don’t want to see this game completely ran by one person, but it seems that the majority of people allowed it to happen this way, and so this is the outcome we’ll get.
Even at Final 5 before the IC results happened, I said to vote Ryan out and to vote me out at 4. I just don’t want a predictable finale. I truly enjoy what Survivor is all about, I’ve played many of these games. What I hate the most is when you have one season dominating over the other. I want people to do stuff, even if I have to spoon feed the ideas into their head. In the end, the only real blindside this game is maybe the Jay vote, and it was after I had to push it… and Brit just went running back to Ryan like a scared puppy after he scolded her like he did with the rest.
At the end of it all, it’s going to be a rather boring Final Tribal Council. There have been no game changing moves made, yes the order of the voted off people may have been switched one place or two, but the end result has been the same. This will have been the Final 3 everyone was talking about since the switch. Ah well, if they want to make it that way, that’s on them.

Lmao, this bullshit about threatening people into keeping me is hilarious. That's never how it went down, period. But I'm not shocked that's how you view the situation - you've had a skewed view of things for a long time.
