Katie, I adore you! [SHOCKER] You played a character and made this game much more interesting and fun. Thank you for that!I loved every single "argument" we had. Gotta say, bringing so much attention to yourself might have not been the smartest move but you pulled it off. You are ASS-worthy player.

I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised by this. I figured you might respect me as a nemesis in the game, but I am very shocked to hear everything else. Thank you very much!

1. Convince me that your game is better than Kim's. What were you better at than Kim?
~ My game was a lot more real than Kim's, I didn't have to pretend to be friend's with anyone, butter up jurors or try to play all sides of the fence. I think my game was a lot more straight-forward. Kim was a target constantly, I wasn't despite the fact that EVERYONE knew where I stood all game long. When I became a target and started getting votes it no longer mattered, I had two idols and I was in the majority where I could have never been voted out.

Apparently, according to people, my jury management was better than hers as well even though I never had to fake it with anyone. That speaks volumes of the game I played and how my straight-up approach was probably better than hers. I also had more of a say in decisions when she was too busy with work, and real life which is beyond understandable.

2. Outside of you alliance (Erinn, Shane, David), if you had to choose one jury member to be in the finals with you (instead of Kim), who would that person be and WHY?
~ Believe it or not I would pick Becky because we had a really good friendship early on and I would have liked to see her go the distance with me. Sadly she chose the wrong side to support. Maybe Aras since I feel we did him dirty. But I think I'd choose Becky.

3. Describe each and every jury member with an animal. (Gotta be honest, I'm expecting you to say that I'm a donkey)
I wanted to be a zoologist at some point, so I am going to take my time on this one. I want to pick an animal that fits people perfectly, and I am very anal when it comes to zoology. Chances are that a lot of them are going to be very obscure, so just read the descriptions, and hopefully it would make more sense. I'll get back to this once I have a more clear idea.

4. Is there a jury member whose vote you think you got? Or at least the one you know you have better chances of getting a jury vote from, than Kim does.
~ I thought I had David's, actually, but after reading his statement I don't think that is the case. As for better chances... I am hoping maybe yours after reading statements, but I can't say for sure.

5. I'm trying to become a better player, and this was my 4th or 5th ORG ever, so tell me, what part of my game should I improve, what are my weaknesses? I hope you'll be brutally honest as you always were.
~ I don't know if I ever told you this, but I am actually not American. I wasn't born here, so I can relate to being a foreigner with a completely different culture. I think you played a solid game with your allies, however, I also know in our original tribe a lot of us were turned off because you were too bossy, trying to take control and often-times you were viewed as condescending. A lot of my venting about you stems to the fact you were treating me like you thought I was stupid. No one likes someone who thinks they are better than others, and you came accross that way a lot. I think it might be cultural, however, as foreigners it is US who have to change around because we are the ones who are playing in other people's territory.

So, basically, you need to realize how you come accross and be WAY more self-aware, many times during conversations I would say something snippy or hint that I was getting annoyed with you [or during the chat] and you would either pretend it didn't happen or didn't notice. Either way, I think that is something you can definitely improve with.

Oh, and don't make a million alliances from the get-go and tell three different people they are your number one. It's super see-through ;)

Yeah, no problem. I know for a fact you told me that. Then either Becky or Sarah said you told them that too (I don't remember which one tho) and then apparently you said that to Jenn too.

You didn't promise me Final two. You called me your number one. And yes it was early but we compared notes and when we figured you had said to more than one person that we were your number one it made us mistrust you.

Anyways, thanks for the compliments. Good luck with your decision.

OMG I'm an idiot. I forgot. Sorry!
No one better get offended with the comparisons. It makes sense. Just read.

Hope - To me Hope was an okapi, it's one of my favorite animals. They are regal and elusive, and I really want to see one. Just like an okapi, Hope is regal and I always wanted to meet her but she met her demise far too early.

Penner - This was by far the hardest, but I am going with a lycaon. They are pack animals which attack as a group, and are very protective of each other. I think that Penner was very protective of his alliance-mates and played this game hard, strong and with a mentality of getting not only himself but his real allies to the end.

Jay - A squirrel monkey. Jay is playful, and fun and doesn't seem to take things too seriously, but I know that if he gets pissed he goes ape-shit. See what I did there? Ha! I'm so funny.

Angelia - A leech. I know it sounds awful, BUT it's not a bad things. Leeches are basically bad-asses, they attach themselves to an animal, drink their blood then giving zero fucks of what the animal thinks they leave them and then go drink someone else's blood. They are hard to get rid of, and they are sneaky. Likewise, Angie was sneaky, she was hard to get rid of in the sense that she was so connected that anyone could have told her, and no one knew where she stood. Angie gave zero fucks about anyone in the game, it seems, so I think her leeching off the life of others is accurate in that sense.

Aras - He is like one of those lions that people keep as a pet. They think they are cuddly little kitties, then they turn around and kill you while trying to play with you. Not because Aras would have killed us, but he could have had that opportunity had he not been freed into wilderness in time.

Dave - I don't think you are like a donkey at all. That would mean I think you have a big dong, hahaha. Just kidding, in all seriousness I don't think you are THAT stubborn. If anything, I think you would be more like a mongoose because you were not scared of taking on the cobra [me] even though it was a losing battle ;) you are also strong, capable and smart. And you can argue with the best [once again, me] and sometimes even win in a battle of wits.

Erinn - Erinn is a cougar. Pretty self explanatory.

Sierra - Pitbull, even though I do think Sierra is crazy, sometimes I feel she gets a worst reputation than she deserves. However, I also know that she can be vicious and tear people apart, like a pitbull, which also means if you are on her side she is loyal and docile.

Charlie - Dolphin. He is fun to be around, very "athletic" and everyone's favorite [especially the jury!]. Very few people know how aggressive dolphins can be though, I mean for fucks sake they have been known for destroying sharks in fights.

Becky - A hippo. Everyone loves hippo's, they are hilarious, amusing and adorable. But very few people know they are one of the most aggressive and dangerous animals out there. Their bite can basically destroy a croc and you know those fuckers have thick skin. When Becky attacks, she is VICIOUS.

David - A baby chick! Mostly because I felt like a mother hen when it came to him, anyone who messed with David I felt the need to destroy. He also managed to charm everyone into thinking he was this innocent ball of adorableness, then he grew up into a rooster and owned bitches.

EDIT: I forgot the bold tags don't work, so I added spaces between paragraphs so it's easier to read.
