Welcome Sammy!

[Host Sandros]

I know losing so close to the end really isn't fun, but here are some people who know exactly how you feel.

Everyone welcome Sammy, he's our last jury member!

[Donna]

Hi Sammy! Sorry to see you here, you deserved better!

[Sammy]

I shouldn't be here, but Sandy knows it's his fault. Don't think I'm bitter because I lost and I'm just blaming it on him -- it actually is his fault.

[jp]

oh please do tell the story

Welcome to my boat *throws cow turd in the air*

(ran outta confetti)

[Host Sandros]

Ok so its my fault Deighton is voted out because he didnt read the directions to that challenge. And its my fault Sammys voted out becuase he posted his screen caps and i took those scores as his challenge?

C'mon. Get over it fellas, the game is coming to an end. Please.

[conny]

sammy maybe if u had more allies in the f4 you would have gotten voted off, duh mate.

that im sure is your own fault.


im a bit confused...did sandros hold a gun to chelsea + richards head and made them vote for you??

[tom]

Welcome Sammy. Good job on being the last Nirvanan to stay in the game. Wish you had made the final 3 because I would have grilled you! But ah well.

[Sammy]

No, Sandy, you're the host. You shouldn't assume anything, especially when there were so many loopholes because so many things weren't specified correctly/completely.

Conny, at least I made it past the Final 9. You had allies and they all voted you out. I wasn't voted out cuz no one liked me, unlike you. And not that I'm bragging or anything, but I was Sandy's favorite from the final 4. If anything he'd hold a gun to everyone so I'd be safe. At least it shows you he likes to be .. "fair" and unbias in his decisions.

Tom, I hardly think you have anything to "grill" me on. At least I didn't wait until the Final 7 to make a strategic move because Richard wasn't there to do it for me. Nor was I bad at hiding the fact that I knew Rich had the idol, unlike you. Nor did I lie, actually, unlike you.

[matt]

yo sammy, u rock man

[Sammy]

I've been meaning to ask you, Matt, why I heard from every single player in the game [except you] that you hated me.

[matt]

i didnt hate you, i was just telling donna id take her to the finale 2 if i made it because i made an allience with her first, but i just didnt like u at times because when id tell you things you would tell other people, and r convos are supposed to be between us. And i told jp i hated u because i was trying to get him to not vote me out, i told him id take him to the finale 2 but if i didnt loose the sudden death vs skyler, i would have just jumped back on with u and donna and have jp help us vote out people

[tom]

Sammy, please take no offense, but in all honesty you made no strategic moves the entire game. And no, voting me out wasn't a strategic move: it was your only move. You're a likeable guy and I liked talking to you whenever we did, but honestly you did nothing this entire game. You floated your way through the game all the way to the final four. Had you made the final 3 I'm sure Matt and Donna would have voted for you since they're die-hard Nirvanans for life (t'was a messed up tribe we had!), but I would have been shocked and dismayed had others voted for you as well.

As far as your attacks on me, I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think you truly understand the things I had going against me this entire game. I was forced to be a passive player for pretty much the entire pre-merge game because I was completely on my own with 5 other Dragonez players. Me and Rich had a good bond and I stayed under his wing because he was constantly the bigger target of the 2 of us. It's common sense to not stick out too early. As far as what you said about my waiting till the final 7 to make a strategic move, I'd agree with you that voting Deighton and Donna out were my first big, active moves of the game. Rich being away is completely irrelevant as I would have made those same moves regardless. Let's say you're right and I did indeed 'wait' until the final 7 to make my 'first' strategic move: when did you make yours then? By wanting to banish Conny? What kind of 'move' was that anyway? I still don't understand why you and Donna would have wanted to keep Matt around when he was at the center of all kinds of chaos on our tribe. In addition, the whole "Nirvana for Life!" alliance idea of you, me, Donna, and Matt was WAY too obvious. We would have been just like all of the Dragonez people who bunched together before the merge and then quickly died out (except for Skylar of course). You helped us vote Conny out, but that idea was largely Deighton's and me and Rich picked up on it and brought you and Donna along for the ride because we needed more votes.

I really harbor no bitterness against you dude. You beat me, and I'm cool with that. I'm just saying don't say that I didn't make any strategical moves this game when you're one to talk.

Oh, and I'm sorry I lied in this game. Because you can't lie in this game. I competely forgot.

[Sammy]

Saying I "floated" to the Final 4 isn't necessarily true, either, Tom. Just because I didn't make a move that was "clear" and "definitive" of my game, or the game in general, doesn't mean I floated. I knew I was one of the weaker challenge players, so I relied on my social skills. Not winning a single immunity [especially when I had a 50% chance of leaving during the double-council in the Final 7] and still making the Final 4 is a much bigger accomplishment than anyone may think.

And, I hold no bitterness towards you, either. In the heat of the game, things are said and things are done, because I get TOO into it, sometimes. In the end, I know it's a game, and let it go. -- But, for as much as people think I've lied in the game, I haven't. I can't think of one instance where I blatantly lied, or even stretched the truth. Just because I said I'd vote one way, but didn't, doesn't mean I lied. I considered every option I had, and came to what I thought was the best decision for me. I made no promises in the game, and in my [real] life, I never make a promise unless I know 100% I can follow through with it, and I brought that into my game.

[tom]

I cyber hug you Sammy! You obviously did something right to make it 37 days and you have my respect for getting there.

I'm determined for this jury to love one another! That means you too, Matt and Conny. I expect cyber hugs to come out of you two as well before this is all said and done.
