Gregg's Questions/Statements

[Host Drew]

Gregg, please address the final 2 here , once opening statements have been posted.

[Gregg Carey]

Hello Final 2 and congratulations for going this far!!


Ibrehem, I was reading through my pms and I'm going to ask you:
After Ashlee left, you said you were sick of Tom & Angie running the game and you would like to vote for Angie which you did. After that, I told you I'd like me, you, Katie and Jeff in the final 4 and you said you would be down with that.
Then, you told me you were willing to vote Tom or Kim, and you decided Kim even when you had the chance to revote.
At final 5, I asked you if you were voting Tom or anyone else and you acted evasive "I have no idea". After that, you told me you were voting between Tom or Katie. But we know what happened.
Why did you make me believe you wanted Tom out since the time you voted for Angie even though you knew you wouldn't?

Another thing, what was up with the idol? Did Tom give it to you? It was a good tactic of you though because I thought 70% that he had it and I was always scared he would play it and 30% that he had given it to you.


Katie, were there any other alliances you had in the game besides me?

I'm not asking you much in terms of the game because I know you pretty well.


Now to both of you, can you please tell me who you voted for in each round and why and make a rank of the jurors in terms of gameplay (1-best; 2-worst) and why.


Thanks ;D

Hey Gregg. So here's the deal. I came into this merge with a good set of allies. We had the numbers are we could have easily taken out your entire tribe. But I also knew that I was never going to get to the end if I stuck with that plan. So I bided my time and waited for what I thought was the right moment - and that's when I came to you with the plan to take Angie out. I agreed to the final four alliance of you/me/Jeff/Katie, because I wanted to appease you, but the truth is...that would have been a dumb plan for me. I didn't want to force a tie at the final 4.

When we voted Kim out, I would have easily voted for Tom that round, but when I talked to Kim she was kind of unresponsive about her vote and that clued me in to the fact that she was never really going to work with me. I also knew that Tom was in a bad position after Angie left and that he was running out of options, and would most likely be loyal to me. That's why I decided to vote Kim out. If Tom was gone, I think Kim would have been likely to jump to you and Katie and take out Jeff and I. I knew Tom wouldn't do that.

When you left, I REALLY did not want to vote for you. I wanted Katie out because 1) I really liked you, and 2) I knew Katie was a HUGE threat in challenges and could probably slide to the end that way (I was right). So yeah, I'm sorry I didn't give you a clear answer, but I didn't have a clear idea at that point. Tom & Jeff were set on voting you out, and there was nothing I could do at that point.

So yes, I made you believe that I wanted Tom out badly. But the truth is, once Angie left, a lot of Tom's power left. Taking Angie out meant that Tom was forced to stick with me, so taking him out after that would have been a bad move on my part, since he was a loyal ally.

As far as the idol - Tom gave me that the round that Angie left because he was looking out for me. He told me to play it that round because he thought that you and Katie would vote for me. Since I knew that Angie was going, I didn't play it and decided to keep it for later. I never really needed it, but it was nice that very few people knew who had it, and I was always able to insinuate that something might happen.

Anyway, thanks for your questions Gregg. You're a great guy, and I had fun playing with you.

[Gregg Carey]

Thanks Ibrehem but don't forget about the other 2 questions

[Ibrehem Rahman]

And I'll get to the second part of your question in a bit.

Thanks, Gregg.

[Ibrehem Rahman]

Ok, sorry I had to type this part out in Word.

Now to both of you, can you please tell me who you voted for in each round and why and make a rank of the jurors in terms of gameplay (1-best; 2-worst) and why.
My votes:
When Jenn was voted out, I self voted (I was out of town)
When Coby left, no one voted, we just chose people. Coby didn’t get picked.
When Caryn left, I voted for her.
When Ashlee left, I voted for her.
When Angie left, I voted for her.
When Kim left, I voted for her (twice).
When you left, I voted for you.
And that was the last vote I had to cast in this game.

RANKING THE JURORS:
Tom- By far the best player on the jury. He was a tough competitor, and a big threat to all of us.
Gregg – You put up a hell of a fight. You really wanted to be here, and it showed. That can take you far in a game like this. I also think you played maybe the best social game.
Jeff- Jeff and I worked together a lot, and I was really able to see how he played. He was always there with the strategic decisions, and he played a great social game as well.
Angie- Angie was a nice person and a strong player. I’m only ranking her this low because as she said, she and I didn’t talk much and so I never really got to see all the things she was doing.
Kim- Kim was a nice person. If she had been more decisive with me (or at least pretended to be), she probably would have gone further.
Jolanda- I didn’t get to meet or play with Jolanda, but I do know that she was a fighter, and I admire that.
Ashlee- Like Jolanda, I didn’t get to know or play with Ashlee much, but from what I saw, she didn’t fight to stay in as hard as she could have.

[Katie Gallagher]

Katie, were there any other alliances you had in the game besides me?

I'm not asking you much in terms of the game because I know you pretty well.


Now to both of you, can you please tell me who you voted for in each round and why and make a rank of the jurors in terms of game play (1-best; 2-worst) and why.


Hey Gregg!

I never had another alliance besides you, actually. We semi had the Jeff/me/you/Ib alliance, but even that was primarily with you. I never had an alliance in Melekeok, and when you saved me I was with you until the end. I don't think I ever did anything you didn't know about.

As for my votes, they were a little scattered in the beginning, considering you were in Jolanda's solid alliance and I was off voting on my own.

-I voted for Ian, Stephenie went.
-Voted for Ashlee due to inactivity, James went
-Voted for Bobby Jon, who went
-Voted for Jolanda, who went due to the idol
-Voted for Ashlee, as a back up if Caryn used the idol
-Voted for Angie, who went
-Voted for Tom, and after the tie, again for Tom. Kim went
-Voted for Tom, Gregg went
-Voted for Tom, who went
-Voted for Jeff as the only vote

So those were my votes, no surprises I don't think. Now I will rank the jurors based solely on game play.

1- Tom. Tom put everything he had into this game, and was a threat every single competition. Just look at my vote history, he was tough to get rid of.
2- Angie. I think Angie is really smart and knew how to make connections with people in this game. While this strength might also have been her downfall, she really knew what she was doing.
3- Gregg. I obviously think the world of you Gregg, but you really are an incredible player. You made a bold move in betraying your alliance and saving me, and I hope you don't regret it. You really helped turn this game around for us.
4-Jeff. Jeff, while a little quiet, is actually really smart and good at competitions. He knew when to step up and when to hold back, which is what got him to the final 3.
5-Kim. Kim was always kind of a mystery to me, so I don't know a lot about her game play other than that she was in that tight alliance, so thats why shes so low. She was good in competitions though.
6-Jolanda. She played the game hard, but played it too hard. Still, a fierce competitor.
7-Ashlee. I have no problem with Ashlee. She just didn't really make any major moves in this game, thats all.

Well I hoped I answered your questions, I appreciate them. Thanks for everything you did for me Gregg, I can't thank you enough.

[Gregg Carey]

Thanks to both

[Kim Mullen]

I was good in competition? ;D Thanks you! lol

I never received that compliment before. I won immunity once in this game and that was like only the 2nd time I won individual immunity in an ORG. lol

Oh andit was my strategy to be mysterious.
