[Lydia Martin]

Hello Mama, and thank you

Lydia, mama dont think yu talked to mama either in game. mama need to know who you bacstabbed and why from merge on. Mama also need to know who yu aigne with and why?

I don't think we talked either, and I apologize for that.  I guess we were just never around at the same time

Anyway, the people I'd say I definitely backstabbed  were Rob and Sweeney.  With those two boys I was connected to both of them, but at merge saw them both as threats when looking further down the line and closer to the end, and coming into the game, I came in hoping to win it, and so with those two as two people I saw as big contenders, I had to betray the connection and bond we had and stab them in the back to get myself here more easily.

I take it who I was aigned with is asking who I was working with, and if that's the case, then I'd say from the beginning of the game I was working with pretty much all of Wrath and staying as social as I could with everyone on that tribe and forming bonds, doing this so I could be in a good position to pick who I wanted to work with down the line in a more concrete way, as well as doing this so I'd never be a target if we were to lose a tribal challenge.  At merge around the Final 9, I'd definitely say I aligned myself more so with Tate, Beth, Claire and Medusa because I had great bonds with all of them and among them, felt I'd feel the best working with them and going to finals with them. 


mama want yu to pick a 2 pair of socks for everyone in jury, mama want a positive sock and a negative sock for each juror mama want to know why you pick the socks you picked for each juror. mama want details no just making up reason.

Going under a spoiler cut because it's long

SPOILER: Click to show

Rei's positive pair of socks are the sexy fierce fishnet ones on the left.  I picked those for her positive socks because you need to be a sexy lady with a lot of attitude and confidence to pull them off, and I think Rei had a lot of attitude and confidence as our bad bitch in this game. The negative pair of socks are a rather faded, and worn out pair of socks, evident by the blown out heels and toes. I picked these socks for Rei's negative side because at merge her game was basically faded and worn out as she didn't have much of a leg to stand on and her life was withering away in the game.  I hope that doesn't sound rude.




I picked the pair of dark heart socks for your positive socks Mama because in this game you always reminded us that Mama loved us, or at least Lily lol. (We also didn't forget that you wanted to hang some of us from a tree.)  Your negative pair of socks are plain, stark white socks, because in the game I had no idea what you were up to or what you were about; it was just a big blank for me, so I chose the blank socks.




For Rob's positive socks, I went for socks from the Under Armour brand because the Under Armour brand is a style built for those who are tough people who get out there and go after things.  (Sports people mainly lol) Rob was tough in my opinion and so I matched him with those.  For Rob's negative socks I chose a dirty looking pair of socks. With those socks they're still wearable, but you're just not sure you want to wear them, especially if you have other pairs to wear around. I relate this to the negative because while I could have worked with Rob further/longer, I decided I had more suitable allies to work with around, and so therefore voted Rob out.




For Ash's positive socks I went with the mustache socks because in a fun way to me they're like the 'ladies man' style of socks, and as we know, Ash was definitely the ladies man this season.  Even though they're a bit silly, to me, there's still something a little bit suave about the stache socks.  For Ash's negative socks I went with what are apparently called yoga socks. By the name I assume they're better socks for yoga, but I'd disagree because it seems to not offer any padding/support for the two most sensitive parts of your feet; the toes and heel. That's why I matched the socks with Ash for his negative pair, because he had ideas and plans he wanted to execute in the game, but he just didn't get any support from other players to make them happen.




For Sweeney's positive pair of socks I decided to go with a black, toe fitting sock.  I've described/perceived his style of playing to be that he was very fluid and connected to everyone and easily moved around in the game, and with those socks you can easily move your toes around more and have a greater range of movement.  For Sweeney's negative pair of socks I went with a slightly worn and older pair.  Sweeney's game wasn't worn out like Rei's socks but his bonds with players like me began to weaken and wither slightly when I decided that I had to play and stick with people that weren't him.  I guess when presented with a fresher pair of socks compared to the ones starting to show their age, you'll go with the pair of socks that cover everything/all bases instead of the ones that leave key points uncovered and vulnerable.  Does that make sense?




For Medusa, I have two pairs of similar looking socks, but with key differences that can separate them into one positive pair and one negative pair.  The pair on the left are the positive pair because to me, they look like stylish, slim socks with a nice border/design at the top, and something I'd want to wear.  This relates to Medusa because I wanted to work with her and keep her around in the game for a while.  The pair on the right is the negative pair however.  That pair while similar, looks boring and most important less desirable.  So to make sense of what I'm trying to say, the pair on the left is the positive for Medusa because it has something desirable for me as I wanted to work with Medusa and she felt comfortable working with me, and the negative pair doesn't have the nice border and Medusa didn't have a desire to work as closely with people say like Tate or Glen as compared to me, and therefore, that's a negative. God I hope that makes sense lol. Long story short Left = Positive because desirable, Right = Negative because lacking something to make it wanted by others, in this case a desire to work with individuals like Tate/Glen




For Glen's positive pair of socks I went with a really thick and durable looking pair of socks.  In this game Glen got the rough end of things but kept on powering on through and trucking in this game and had an endurance and stamina to survive as long as he did, so I think some long lasting, durable socks match with the positive.  For the negative pair I picked out a rather fuzzy, bright, and noticeable pair of socks.  This matches the negative because in the game Glen just couldn't NOT be seen and viewed as a player in the game, and that was a negative because it's never good to constantly be on nearly everyone's radar.  I think that matches those socks because really, could you miss someone if they were wearing those?



For Tate's positive pair of socks I went with a cute snake pair.  I chose these because of snakes having a special meaning in our bond/relationship and I think it also reflects Tate's overall positive traits because he was cute and likeable and social and a majority of people liked having him around.  For Tate's negative socks I couldn't really think of anything negative at first, but then thought of 'no show' socks.  I think these type/this pair of socks represent Tate because they come up super, super short on the foot, and the only thing I feel Tate did wrong, had any negative feel to it, was coming up short in the final challenge and then getting voted out.

I believe I'm done now. Thanks Mama

mama, I love you too and enjoyed all our conversations.

one basic rule of Survivor is accept all the alliances that is offered for you even the ones that you don´t wanted because if you refuse that person can look you with another eyes, so obvious that I would accept, and that plus the fact that I already liked and wanted to work with you. now I can not say if we would stay together till the end because the game changes every round and I will not be fake and say that we would stay together just to win you over, when the fact is that I don not know that the game would bring to us if you had stayed longer, but stay with you would be in my plans for sure.

I will edit with the sock task later

[Beth Greene]

Hello Mama!  

Beth, you didnt talk to mama all game, so mama not know how you played. mama need to know what strong moves yu made to get in finals. Mama need to know what was yur strategy from merge on to finals.

I'd say my strongest moves that I made in the merge would be gathering the wonderland prizes (I can't remember exactly when I got them all) and then strategically using them throughout merge to ensure that our girls alliance stayed safe.  I used my first double vote on Rob the TC he left to ensure a tie and get Glen on our side.  I reached out to Medusa while she was on vacation to orchestrate her changing her bootlist vote in that tie tribal council to Rob to make sure he went.  By doing this and trying to stay silent about it, I suddenly had Sweeney and Tate doubting each other as they both assumed Medusa couldn't be reached.  I also used my second double vote the round Ash went as a precaution.  I was sure that Sweeney would be using his idol this round and that if he and ash voted together that there was a chance someone I needed to stay around would possibly be eliminated.  I used the double vote just to make sure that there was a solid majority for someone else not crucial to my game in that event.   I gave one of my idols to Lydia early on in the merge, and we kept both of them until the final 5 when they had to be used, and at which point we were able to secure the threat of Glen making it to the final tribal council and being a fantastic underdog story and amazing comeback out.  I was fine with it being either Glen or Tate, even if hoping to bring Glen to the final 4 a little more just as a thank you for helping us out when we needed it most.  Either way, using those prizes at the best times is what helped me get to where I need to be, and I turned up my challenge performance towards the end as well, winning 2 of the last 3 immunity challenges.  


And for the socks

SPOILER: Click to show

Rei


For Rei I chose the sailor socks for her because of how Sassy she was, especially to Tilly, and I feel like those are one sassy pair of socks.  And for the negative I chose these socks that are just in the middle of the floor.  You can tell that they are out of place there, just like Rei was once merge happened.  Although a good pair of socks/good player, she was out of place and eliminated because of all the other bonds already created.

Mama


For mama, I chose the first pair of socks because I think they are amusing.  Everytime you posted about the hang tree, I loved it.  Everytime you posted I was amused, and thats just like these amusing watermelon socks.  For the negative I chose the no-show socks. I did that because to me I didn't know your gameplan and thats what I went to people telling them when I was campaigning for your exit.  I also think this works in another way as you did disappear for a little bit and were a noshow.  

Rob


For the positive, I chose the rubber socks, because like rubber, Rob bounced back into the game from prejury and was a force to be reckoned with.  Very strong, and had it not been for my wonderland advantage, would possibly still be in the game.  For the negative I chose the Fuck socks just because, some could see those socks as being rude, which to me is how Rob has presented himself to me in this final tribal council.  I understand I may not have a shot at his vote, I understand that he may not have anything to say to me, but the way that Rob completely has ignored the fact that I've worked hard to be in the final 3 and make moves and doesn't even bother to add in a "Beth, I have nothing to say to you" in his final question, I think is rude.  If I were on jury and didn't care for one of the finalists, I still wouldn't completely ignore them.  

Ash


For ash I picked the red socks as a positive, he was very flirtatious with the ladies very openly and as such, I think would pose in only these socks with a lady while they were together, alone at wonderland.  For the negative I picked the socks that are unfinished.  I picked these because Ash did try to make moves, but was never able to get them to take off, all his moves he wanted to make went unfinished.

Sweeney


For the positive, I chose the first pair because they look very durable, much like Sweeney was in the beginning of the merge.  I knew he would have to go but he kept winning immunity, and then he had his idol and it was really just an ordeal to finally get him out of the game.   For the negative I chose a pair of socks in this suitcase, as I think it represents how he had to travel during some of the most crucial parts of the game and miss out on some of the more important strategical talks in the game.

Medusa


Positive - I chose the cute cat socks to once again point out Medusa's love of her cats and how seeing them makes you smile, thats how I feel about Medusa, when I play a game with her, talk  with her, see her post something on my facebook, I smile.   As for the negative I chose the knife socks as a way to try to emphasize the backstab with Tate/Claire.  While she would have had to eventually be the one to backstab them should she have stayed and stayed loyal to me and Lydia, she was the one that was ultimately betrayed or backstabbed by both of them when she was.

Glen



For Glen I chose the camouflage socks as he was able to blend in after all his allies were gone or had betrayed him and planned to vote him out, and make it where he did.  He was able to blend in with several alliances and make it all the way to 5th place.   For the negative I chose the socks in the jar.. the brand of those socks is Champion which I easily see Glen being a perfect example of a worthy champion in this game, but we had to hold the champion in and keep him away from finals, much like these socks are being held captive in a jar.

Tate 



I chose the dog socks for Tate because we discussed how much we like dogs and its one of the things Im taking away from this game adoring about him.  Anyone who knows me knows I live for my little jack russell that I absolutely ADORE and as such have a huge soft spot for dogs.  The fact that Tate was able to express to me the exact same feelings I have, I love.   For the negative I put the socks with one small hole in them, to represent the 1 minute of the immunity challenge that could very well have cost him the game.  I am thankful for that minute, don't get me wrong, but I know how devastating it must have been for him.  Nearly perfect game, nearly perfect pair of socks.. just one, tiny hole.

I hope you enjoy these, Mama, and good luck with your decision!

[Mama]

tank yu all for the best looking soks.  yu all get saved frum hang tree.  Mama love sok show tank yu and good luck.
