Ash's Question

[Ash Williams]

First of all I want to say congrats to the 3 of you. Glad to see 2 of my sexy ladies made it to the end.

Well I have no clue what to ask since this was by far one of my shittier games and I wasn't that big of a threat and only made it to jury because of that.

Well my first question for the 3 of you is to rank the jury members from strongest to weakest and tell me the reason why they made that ranking.

And secondly was there any members of the pre-jury that you thought should have of made it to the jury

Again congrats and good luck to the 3 of you

Good to see you again Ash, and thank you.


Well my first question for the 3 of you is to rank the jury members from strongest to weakest and tell me the reason why they made that ranking.

Strongest
1.Glen
Glen ranks #1 for me because despite being on the outs he survived for a long time.  He was great at the challenges, likable for being the underdog who kept on surviving, and still social enough to have strong bonds that helped keep him safe for a long, long time.  So with those three traits I think he was the strongest.

2. Sweeney
Sweeney is number two because of his style of game play.  I definitely think he was very savvy and connected to a lot of people and was definitely a huge, big time challenge threat, and the only reason he's below Glen is because I think Glen would just clean up with jury votes easier, and that's it.

3. Rob
Rob, despite being out of the loop socially at times, was still connected enough and apart of people's games and the Wrath family to where it protected him and kept him safe through the initial tribals of the merge.  He was also a big challenge threat as shown by his immunity win and the fact that he won himself a spot back in this game.

4. Tate
Tate ranks at four because while not the best at the challenges in comparison to some other players, he still turned on the heat when he had to and came super close to winning that final, and arguably, most important challenge.  He was also pretty capable socially as he was important in the games of a good number of people in the merge and was able to maneuver himself socially to get into the Final 4.

5. Ash
I feel like five is low, but really, everyone in merge was definitely top tier among the cast.  Anyway, I have you at #5 Ash because in your own words you said it was by far one of your worse games, and while I can't say if that's true, I can still say there were some positives to it.  I think you had strength in challenges as you did manage to do well in some and even win one, and I think you were capable socially because you still managed to get very far into this game and only left when you did because an idol was played.  So I think you had potential to go further had things gone differently.

6. Rei
Rei was a huge competitor physically in this game throughout, and gave me a huge run for my money in that pole challenge and only lost to me based on a deal.  I think Rei is a great player and only isn't higher because of her luck in the game.  She was likable, but had some poor luck and was just never on the side with the numbers, and so with no social game/alliances left intact around merge, she was picked off for being a threat.  So that's why she's at #6 because while good, she didn't get to realize her full potential in the game.

7.  Medusa
I love me some Medusa, but overall, as a whole I have to put her as #7.  I think Medusa is someone who has the potential to be a very commanding force in games, but other circumstances in life, such as travel, just kept her from it this game.  Medusa can be good at challenges, but she just didn't have a lot of time to try them this season, and socially she can be great but a few times she was told how to vote and proceeded with it.  She was still determined and had drive in the game though because I don't think anyone can just be carried to sixth place, she worked for it.

8. Mama
I'm sorry Mama, but I know nothing about her game.  I don't know how she was socially, or physically, and someone has to be the 'weakest' so I apologize and hope you don't take offense.
Weakest



And secondly was there any members of the pre-jury that you thought should have of made it to the jury

It's just my opinion, but I think Hades deserved to make jury.  He lasted long enough and fought his way back into the game to make it to the merge, and thought maybe that should at least be rewarded with a place on jury.

I think Ray and Lily could be deserving of spots too as the last two casualties of the game before merge without having that chance to get back in, but seeing as Ray and I never talked and Lily and Claire are like Brazilian Best Friends, I don't think I'd get either of their votes, so maybe I don't want them on jury after all lol.

Awww Ash <3. Thanks

Well my first question for the 3 of you is to rank the jury members from strongest to weakest and tell me the reason why they made that ranking.

1- Glen: You have no argument, Glen was the strongest and if he had got in the end, would have won easily.

2- Sweeney: He had agreements with everyone and was very strong in challenges, making it a double threat.

3- Tate: Tate had a good chance to win because he did not upset anyone in the game and has always been liked by everyone.

4- Rob: Since he had already been eliminated, he came back with more desire to win and with that he would do anything to be in the final, he had no fear of risk which could earn points with the jury.

5- Rei: I've played with her before (do not know if she knows it lol), she is well able to get immunity in a run and get to the final and win. I've seen that she has fire and determination to do so.

6- Ash: You're a sweetheart <3. I'm sure you could do much better than you've been in this game because you are smart and very dear, two very dangerous things in the game survivor.
 
7- Medusa: Girl, you know I love you, but this was not your best game. I'm sure if you're 100% in the game, you'll probably be here at the end, but for this game I think you were not very strong.

8- Mama: I Love Mama <3. We got along very well throughout the game, but when she most needed it and it disappeared down the game a lot of it.

And secondly was there any members of the pre-jury that you thought should have of made it to the jury

I have to say that for me Lily or Ray should be on the jury. I think the two battled very hard to stay in the game and I had a good relationship with both. I really wanted them to be here today.

Hey Ash, sorry for the delay! Ill be off work in a few hours and you and sweeney's questions are first on my list of things to do today!

[Beth Greene]

Hello Ash  


Well my first question for the 3 of you is to rank the jury members from strongest to weakest and tell me the reason why they made that ranking.


Okay! Here we go.  

1 - Glen - Glen was able to go from picked off to 5th place and truthfully, I would have preferred him to make 4th place.    Good person, good social game, good challenge performer, major finale threat

2 - Sweeney - Sweeney had a good head on his shoulders and what ended up being the 2nd best strategy in the game.  He had several allies and if it werent for wonderland and the prizes I was able to glean from there, he would probably be sitting here instead of myself.  I do believe that Wonderland is the only thing that propelled me to the finale over Sweeney

3 - Tate - Tate proved he came to play, especially in the final immunity challenge.  He was very social with me throughout the whole game and I never heard anyone ever talk about getting rid of him.  This made him super well liked and a danger to me and my ideal final 3

4 - Rei - Rei is a very strong player who got dealt the unfortunate hand of being in a minority going into merge and a reputation for being a strong player.  I think with just a couple adjustments in the game and she could easily have taken my place here in the finale

5 - Rob - I'll place Rob here because he did fight HARD to make it back into the game, which proved to me that he could be a challenge threat.  He also made out well with allies once he returned as his tribe did get down to 5 and he was able to keep himself safe through that and into the merge as well.  

6 - Ash - I think under other circumstances you would normally be higher on the list, but the ill timing of your trip and how little you were able to be online combined with the earlier alliances from the game were together too much for you to overcome in the merge.

7 - Medusa - It is very difficult for me to place Medusa this far down the list because I know her and I know amazingly capable she is of games, I just think this game she had too much going on in her real life that prevented her from being the threat she normally is.  

8 - Mama - Again, like Medusa, I know Mama and how normally she is such a threat to make it deep in the game, but when I was campaigning for her to go the round she did, I gave the reason that most people included me with their plans and what they wanted to do, but never Mama.  When most people I talked to agreed they didn't know where her head was at in the game it seemed like she was playing a weaker game than usual.

This whole task has been very hard because I know 6 of the 8 of you outside of this game and have played with those 6 several times before.   This jury and final 3 really is an OUTSTANDING group of players in my mind and the fact that I've somehow snuck my way into the final 3 within this crowd of powerhouse distinguished ORGers is a shock to me and I feel like a winner no matter what the outcome of this is.  




And secondly was there any members of the pre-jury that you thought should have of made it to the jury

I would say I believe Hades should be on jury.. and had she not had such a bizarre meltdown when she did Jill.   I know the way she went out was crazy but if you take that aside I believe Jill is still a good player that would be deserving of a jury spot.   (Sorry hosts! I know you hate me for that answer).  Hades was, like Rob, deserving of a jury spot by fighting his way back into the game and beating all those prejurors that fought so hard.

Again congrats and good luck to the 3 of you


Thanks Ash!  Good Luck with your decision
