Jeff's Questions/Statements

[Jeff Probst]

Congratulations Final 3, you've proven yourself well at different aspects of the game, which makes it interesting.

Susan, you are the challenge queen, you truly made your time and effort in these challenges. So you take up that role.

Draco, you are that person who managed to turn the tables, a great proven strategist, kudos to you! You've done well!

Ginny, Griffy! ^_^ You played well and smart under-the-radar. You could've been gone long ago, but you were way too smart to go. Great job!!

[Jeff Probst]

Now...Some disadvantages to point out, it's just my opinions, so don't blame me or yourself, and don't complain if you want my vote. lol I've talked with all of you equally, but I don't think Ginny has ever betrayed me, or at least, "betrayed" me the least.

Susan: Yes, you rock at challenges, that is something, but it means that you didn't prove your strategic side much, which I'd prefer more. Winning tons of IC's doesn't make you an automatic winner, though being a backstabber all the way doesn't either, so I don't complain about it. But still, little strategy on your part.

Draco: I don't know anything bad about you. That's good. lol

Ginny: Maybe too under-the-radar, but you did well on that department. lol You were active all the way, I know that, I can see that when we both were in Gryffindor.

[Jeff Probst]

Questions!!!! Good luck guys!!

Susan: Give me one strategy of yours that isn't very related to challenges or immunity, just about the votes/Expulsion Sessions. And tell me some things that Draco lacks in.

Draco: Why did you vote for me the round I left? Ginny only got one vote, so I guess the rest of you voted for me. So why did you vote for me, when you said you're voting out Ginny?

Ginny: Give me one time where you think you stand out in the game. And also tell me some bad things about Draco's game.

All of you: Compare the Jury members to the Survivor US castaways according to their game and explain why so.

Good luck!!

Susan: Give me one strategy of yours that isn't very related to challenges or immunity, just about the votes/Expulsion Sessions. And tell me some things that Draco lacks in.

Winning immunity/challenges I agree isn't all it takes to be crowned the winner of survivor. I may not have been the biggest snake in the grass but I had my part in this game outside challenges. Even though I avoided all those expulsions there was not one, that my alliance or even people outside my alliance ( who thought I had more loyalty to them then I actually did ) that didn't come to me for my opinion. I was allowed the power to guide and nudge their votes in expulsion. That is an extreme social power. I dont discredit anyone in the game I worked along side, but until Draco did turn the tables, I always had my hand in the expulsion session cookie jar, even though I wasn't there. When my alliance was in expulsion, I promptly nudged them not always in the direction for the alliance, but for my best survival aswell. Only being aligned solidly with four members, I still was able to create strong friendships with most of the jury members besides Tonks ofcourse. I hope I answered your first question Jeff, I really do believe that my challenge wins were not all merit to myself as well. Turning Griff around couldn't have been done by me alone, but staying up late posting with Anthony and you,and I was really sorry when I was told you guys wanted us girls out, and the alliance in turn voted you both out.

Draco played a strong game and immediately I felt that as I offered him a spot in the Four alliance I was trying to put together. I would call him the anaconda in the grass cause snake is an understatement and I dont mean that in a horrible way. I think his downfall was trying to turn it around too easily. If he would have never given us the heads up that Anthony and You, wanted to turn on Myrtle and me, I dont think that Myrtle or Seamus would have voted for you guys in expulsion. I can't speak for them, but that sole information changed our votes to vote out Tonks, and Ginny before you guys were ever a target. So I would say overeagarness. We played different game styles, I have total respect for him, but I would have held off on my powerplay if it was me. Then again, he made it to final three so its a toss up. I just dont want my game downplayed because I did overshine in competitions. I assure you my AIM and PM box was always going off finding new ways to cannonball my way further in the game. OFFICIALLY SHUTTING UP NOW LOL.

All of you: Compare the Jury members to the Survivor US castaways according to their game and explain why so.

George - I didn't get a chance to see much game play from you, so I had to think from what I know. I chose to go with Sandy (SURVIVOR TOCANTINS) Once again not because she was a women lol. She may not have made it far in the game but right before your eviction you showed real potential, and sadly being sick basically got you booted from the game. The same with Sandy, she was at a disadvantage, assumed a weak link from the beginning but clearly had a lot more potential then what others saw.

Fred - Hmm I would say Courtney (SURVIVOR CHINA) Fred is a chatterbox just like courtney, she was social and though she made it just past the merge, I think if she stayed in the game, her social skills could have possibly won it for her.

Anthony - You remind me of Corrine (SURVIVOR GABON) and no I dont mean the female features. Her attitude and in a good way, she was NEVER and I mean NEVER afraid to express how she felt, no matter what people thought. When you told me to go choke on ballz, I swear it reminded me of the fight between Sugar and Corrine.

Jeff - Yau-Man (SURVIVOR FIJI) Jeff Probst himself quoted "unlikely hero. There are just some people who have a way about them - instantly charming - that makes you want to pull for them." I truly believe this quote embodies Jeff in our game. Besides being told that I was a target of his later in the game, from the moment I walked into Gryff. it was a feeling like this guy is good, always sweet, but without your help we wouldn't have won anything. I think you were a closet threat in the game, people looked at Yau Man and saw weakness or an inability to compete next to all the muscle. I think staying in this game longer, you could have also gone as far as Yau Man.

Seamus - I would say he would remind me of Colby (SURVIVOR AUSTRAILIAN OUTBACK) One thing about Seamus is that he was a strong player, and most of all he wanted to be in this game. He definatly was the male lead for biggest threat. A certain passion about him is what drew me in at the beginning of the game. Just like Seamus I would have loved to be aligned with Colby from Survivor Austrailian Outback. For me a game comes down to loyality, and Seamus and Colby both got that down pat.

Myrtle - I have to giggle at this one, I would completely say she reminds me of SCOUT (SURVIVOR VANUATU). Might not have always been considered a threat, but managed to kick butt as long as she lasted in the game. She has always been like a mother figure to me, and there isn't a better survivor I could put her as.

Tonks - Eliza (SURVIVOR VANUATU) Like Eliza she was considered weak/not a threat because she made no serious power plays in the beginning of the game. At the same time she was a pain in the butt to get out, it always seemed like she had nine lives, and her ability to shift in the shadows like Eliza and help Draco turn the tables on my original alliance is what makes me think of Eliza.

That is my best and honest replies to all your questions. See you in finale night

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco: Why did you vote for me the round I left? Ginny only got one vote, so I guess the rest of you voted for me. So why did you vote for me, when you said you're voting out Ginny?

I voted for you that round, because Tonks didn't come through with voting with us. At that point we didn't know how close Ginny was with Susan, so i was just ready to take out anyone else..because I knew for a fact that you would help in the following round to take Seamus/Myrtle/Susan out. However, we didn't know Tonks/Ginny were close..and that is why Tonks ended up voting for you. I, in addition, voted you out because everyone else was..and it wasn't going to change the result if I did vote out Ginny..I also needed to keep Susan/Myrtle/Seamus's trust at least somewhat there if the plan did fail..and because I knew in advance that it would(we didn't have a majority) I didn't go along with it. If I did go along with it, then I don't think I'd have been able to get here right now. I think that them three would have taken me out the following round when Seamus left..they would have given hidden immunities around, thrown the immunity challenge to be all in the expulsion session..something. I wouldn't have survived if I ended up blatantly betraying them at your tribal council for no reason.

Basically, me voting out yourself instead of Ginny..was because I couldn't let them know I was against them unless I knew for sure one of them would have been out.

Hopefully that made sense, lol. If not, ask me to try again--I totally will...or ask additional questions, I'm totally cool with that.

~Draco Malfoy~

(I'll do the comparing a bit later!) ;D

[Jeff Probst]

Posted by Susan (too lazy to quote lol)
"and I was really sorry when I was told you guys wanted us girls out, and the alliance in turn voted you both out."

The main reason I tried to get you out because I knew I'm the 5th person in the alliance. I believe my mistake was when I PMed Seamus my feelings of being controlled. So unfortunately, plan failed. Just giving you my reason.

[Susan Bones]

Its cool now Jeff, I totally understand its a game and you made a play to better yourself and position, it would be ludicris if you didn't try, I hope you enjoyed my novel!!!!!

Susan

[Jeff Probst]

What novel?

[Jeff Probst]

Ohhh! That novel!! XD

[Susan Bones]

Yeah lol. I tend to be a bit of a chatterbox at times

[Draco Malfoy]

All of you: Compare the Jury members to the Survivor US castaways according to their game and explain why so.

Nymphadora Tonks: Cindy Hall: I'm comparing you to Cindy from Guatemala, for the fact that she was always the silent girl in the compeition, who made it really far..but not far enough. I think if one thing went different with you, if Susan didn't win that final immunity challenge, you would have been in the finals with a great chance to win this game. In addition, I think if Cindy Hall somehow got the final five immunity..I think she could have easily sailed her way into the finals and won the game as well. The end game of Survivor is always very tough and the immunity challenges can be the deciding factor in who stays and who goes..and people who maybe should have been in the finals get robbed, and I think that happen to both Cindy and you in this game.[/b]

Myrtle: Amanda Kimmel: This one was kind of easy for me. I had to think of what Survivor in the past eighteen seasons had such a close bond all season. I could only think of Micronesia, and Amanda and Parvati's friendship. I also think it goes with your stragety. The two of you were alligned from the start of this game, Amanda and Parvati teamed up together within the first two rounds of Micronesia with Ozzy/James/Cirie. They always looked out for eachother first in the game, no matter what. Susan and yourself did the same thing. Now you might ask why I picked Amanda over Parvati? I think for the simple fact that in the end, Parvati won. She was the better player over Amanda. I think the same can be said here. You guys both played this game amazingly, but in the end Susan outplayed you--she is in the finals, and you aren't. I think even though you didn't win..Susan wouldn't have made it to the end if it wasn't for your friendship and loyalty to her..and if she does end up winning, it would end up being your win just as much as her's..and the same can be said for Parvati. She would have never gotten to where she was in Micronesia, without Amanda.[/b]

Seamus Finnigan: Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth: I think I would compare you more with the Ozzy in Micronesia, then in Cook Islands. Either way Ozzy was amazing in challenges, and never gave up in anything he did. You were the same, you were in the majority alliance too..which is the same with Ozzy. The reason I'd point you more towards the Micronesia Ozzy is because you had the majority up until your vote off. That is when the tides changed, and you were betrayed/blindsided. Ozzy was blindsided at his boot in Micronesia as well, and would never have expected to leave when he did. Nonetheless, he was a memorable person in the game, and was always fierce in the challenges. Same can be said about you in this game. You both also had a similar stragety of staying loyal with your alliance, and never wanting to betray that. You stuck by Susan and Myrtle the entire game, and never thought twice about it.--At least from what I know you didn't.[/b]

Jeff Probst: Jerri Manthey: You are probably like WTF, right now. But it isn't in a bad way. For me, I actually really respect Jerri and the way she played the game. I'm basing this off of Outback instead of All Stars. In Outback she was never afraid to speak her mind, and she always had someone in the game that was with her. She thought she was safe with Colby and Tina in Outback..but ended up being betrayed by them. You were betrayed by the alliance at your boot, because of your worries of lasting longer in the game. It's a hard connection for the two of you, but both of you were never afraid to speak your mind. With Jerri it wasn't so much to do with the game..but for you it was. Something that relates more strategically though is the fact that she thought that whatever she did in the game..she was still going to be in the majority alliance with Tina/Colby/Keith, her original Ogakor members. With you, I think even through everything with talking to myself and Seamus about your doubts..and us almost getting Anthony to swap but not quite..I'm not sure but I don't think for awhile..you thought you would go home, based on being apart of the alliance of five. I don't think you expected for Seamus to end up voting you out and everything, and Jerri was the same way..she didn't see it coming when Tina/Colby and her alliance voted her out prematurely of what they told her would happen.[/b]

Anthony Goldstein: Jan Gentry: The main reason I picked her for you is because you were always this very nice guy, who always gave your entire effort into everything. In Thailand, Jan was the same way she put her trust in people and was really kind at heart. However, those people didn't have the same feelings towards her. She trusted Brian/Clay with her life, and they did help her get to the final three, just like Susan/Seamus/Myrtle did help you get to the final seven. However, Jan could have turned the entire game around in her favor at final five. She could have joined with Helen and Ted and voted out Brian or Clay. If she did that, she would have been in the majority..and at the final three with Helen and Ted, she had a better shot at the final immunity challenge and to make it into the finals. If you didn't trust Susan and Seamus to the extent that you did, to the point of not looking out for yourself the one round before you left, you could have lasted much longer and possibly walked away with the gold. This is out of no disrespect, and I'm actually very shocked that I could have fit someone with you so well, but the more I think about it the more it really does fit you. Jan's game play was very fun-spirited, and a nice person..who really was out of her depth with the ability that other people in Thailand had to completely destroy her. I don't think you realized how much of a game Susan and Seamus were playing when you were in the game..that they were even thinking so far into the future as final four, for it to effect you. If you haven't seen Thailand, it isn't the greatest season because of the Brian/Clay completely owning the entire thing....it ended up being almost a bore to watch...but Jan really helped with getting some interest of actual humanity onto the show, instead of the savagery that Brian/Clay had. You could be related to Jan because of how much you weren't thinking of how to cut people out of the game to get ahead, but looking at the positives of everything and not thinking of yourself first, but others instead.[/b]

Fred Weasley: Eliza Orlins: Fred, Fred, Fred...Your an interesting one. I think for you Eliza would fit for various reasons. She was always very crafty in both Micronesia and Vanuatu, she also had her mind ticking of what she could do next..several of her plans failed but some did success. I think you were the same way in your game play. You wanted Lavender around, it didn't work out..I believe you wanted George around but that didn't work either. You were almost going to get Seamus out if Anthony swapped..however that didn't work out. At the start of the game though, you did get what you wanted with boots and you had a great shot at really controlling the game, but the boots just didn't go your way..and you ended up losing the people you actually needed around to benefit yourself in the future--a bit of bad luck. Eliza had tons of bad luck in Micronesia, she lost Ami and Yau Man, and Jonathan was evacuated..all of them leaving led to her being desperate for any kind of swap in power. You needed the same thing at your tribal council, she tried to use the hidden immunity idol..as you tried to get Anthony to swap. Neither worked, but you both went down without a fight! Both of you are also fierce players, and I think if I look back at the first half of the game..and the game play that was played on the second Slytherin Tribe..You would come to name. I also don't think anyone can forget Eliza's stick at her boot in Micronesia, both of you are remembered in that sense. [/b]

George Weasley: Lydia Morales: The reason I picked Lydia for you is because she is someone who never could outperform people in challenges, and was never the most strategic in the game. However, you did outlast tons of people to get to the final four. Fourth place isn't a bad place to get when she wasn't able to win a challenge or come up with a game play any round..from what I heard you were sick, and weren't always around to play the game..but it didn't stop you from beating out six other people to get where you our. Either way, nobody can take away from the fact that you outlasted them. Lydia outlasted everyone else to get to the final four too. She may not be looked at as the best of the season..but she still made it far, as did you.[/b]


~Draco Malfoy~ ;D

Sorry for the wait, Jeff! My computer access has been kinda hazey lately, but I'm typing a response right this second.

[Ginny Weasley]

Give me one time where you think you stand out in the game. And also tell me some bad things about Draco's game.

I think I stood out on a couple, admittedly low-key instances in the game. First one, chronologically, was during the Mandrake Potting challenge. I kept pace with Draco and Seamus, and pitched in tons of posts. It was an early challenge, before I got totally into the niche of 'under the radar' girl. I had to leave for work in the last hour of the challenge, when me and Seamus were posting together, and we lost the lead in that slowdown, because no one else was on to alternate-- I'm almost thankful we didn't win, because I might've fallen into a Susan-esque mindset(No disrespect, hun); trapping myself into winning to stay alive. Aside from that, I think I stood out for the vote Seamus left. This set me out in a more subtle way; I stuck to my guns and voted him out; and if I hadn't done that, and had either self-voted or voted elsewhere, the whole game could have ended up differently. Not just for being 'loyal' to the plan and all; if I hadn't done so Seamus might still be here, or at least have gone farther.

On that note... My main criticism of Draco's game is that he was a smart guy, but never actually stepped out of line to put any plans into work. First Anthony, then you, and almost did the same to me; he had big plans to turn the tables, but wouldn't follow through with them himself to avoid turning Susan, Seamus and Myrtle against him. If he'd stuck to his guns, their alliance could've been dissmantled 2 or 3 rounds earlier; but even up to the round Tonks and I put it into motion, he only actively voted to eliminated one of them when Myrtle was going. If luck had REALLY been against him and I hadn't voted out Seamus that round, his voting for Tonks instead would have effectively signed himself and the whole game over to Susan, Myrtle and Seamus.

[Ginny Weasley]

Ah, and, good luck with the choice, Jeff!

[Jeff Probst]

Um...Yeah, I realized this is not a Survivor game, so not everyone here has to know Survivor enough. lol

So skip that question (unless you're already working on it. If you have, then skip this question lol). Here's another question ---> Why do you deserve my vote from the other two? Don't be sympathetic (I don't know what that exactly means, but my target word is um...equal or kind). Explain to me as much as you can.
