Well I want to start on congratulating all of you for making the final. You all have different styles which is interesting. Anyways questions! Explanations with every one of them needed. 1. When I left there where really only 4 people who could be voted out. You guys had made a deal with Eliza to keep her around (or well Ted, doesnt matter) which brought it down to me, Mike and Kelly. You guys claimed to have thought that I had an idol and would play it to save myself that round. Which brings me to the question. Why did you all lie to me that round? If I had the idol I would have played it that round and if I didnt I would have been voted out. Why all the lying? Seems just very unnecessary and I dont think it counts as a blindside when there are only 3 possible people to vote out. I would have totally repected you guys just telling me about it rather than lying to my face. And no Bob, telling me about it 10mins before Lex posted the results does not count as telling. 2. Why did you guys rarely approach me for game talk? You guys mostly wanted to talk "small talk" and shit like that, which is totally fine but this is a game. I mainly heard of your plans through Coach. I know I might not be the most forthcoming person in this game but why not take the initiative more frequently? 3. What is in your opinion your biggest mistake in the game? 4. What is in your opinion my biggest mistake in the game? 5. What player is the biggest reason you are here today? 6. Who was the best player this game? (Aside from yourself  ) 7. Whats your favorite episode title? 8. What 7 people should make the all stars? 9. What is your favorite Icelandic band? 10. Last but not least, why should I vote for you? If I think of something else ill post more! Have fun answering and good luck in the vote! |

Actually the only reason I told you 10 minutes before was so that you would play the idol if you had it. My biggest fear that round was you having given the idol to Coach and he having it after you left. I’m sorry about blindsiding you. I was going to tell you earlier to give you more time to play your nonexistent idol but I just hate telling people they are leaving. They usually freak out at me, call me a terrible person then try to flip the vote on me. So I prove there terrible person thing right and just don’t tell them (joking). But I mean I didn’t tell anyone I was voting for them except Kelly which was kind of a lie because I knew she wasn’t going home so it wasn’t like I just didn’t tell you it was something I usually do just to be safe.
When it came to you Mary I did the small talk so that if I needed to I could talk game with you. However with Gwad and with the outcast alliance and Coach’s distrust of me I knew there wasn’t ever going to be a chance of us working together so I just talked with you so you wouldn’t target me. Sometimes talking too much game can just put a target on your back.
My biggest mistake in the game was not voting Frosti at the Valente tribal council. Had Judd left that round this game would be totally different. I had told Judd to vote Mike which would of forced a 3-3-2 tie and Judd leaving in the re-vote and that would of added a plus 1 to Kourtney and a minus 1 to Gwad so that was a really costly mistake and I got really lucky Frosti left.
Hmm I mean I don’t know off the top of my head what you could of done differently. Obviously had you approached me in Valente that could of helped you just due to the fact we only went to TC once but at the same time that would have been a bad move if we went to Tribal a lot because I could of told Coach. You were dealt a pretty bad hand honestly going to tribal builds stronger alliances. I think your biggest mistake was not forming close and personal bonds with original Desterado members.
Probably Ted. Me and him were together from the start and we bounced ideas off each other and filled each other in with information. He was definitely the person I trusted the most. The person whose blunder kind of helped me reach here was Ace. That small revealing to Coach was able to be blown out of proportion and put me into the Final 3 instead of him.
Ted and Ace were up there with me in the strategic threats. Ace played very well socially and strength as well. However Ted made it to the finals so I guess that gives him the title of best player besides me in this game.
Metagaming because that is the reason that you unfortunately went home. We assumed there would be an idol from the auction and that you had it.
Myself – Duh
Ted – Played a really solid Game
Ace – Best Fan. Played an incredible game.
Coach – Most interesting person of the season. Great character.
Kourtney – his dragon. Best pre merge player period.
Kelly – She surprised me. She came on full force at merge and was in the running to win.
Mary – You gave it your all and were a likable character. You really did not make any big mistakes and deserve a second chance. The reason I put you and Kelly in over some of the favorites like Jay, Eliza and Mike was because they had their second chance already and I think that more Fans should make it.
Based on the list from Wiki I got because I’ve never heard of any of them I am going to go with Bang Gang. They sound like they have a lot of fun.
Well because I played the best game. Not only did I win crucial challenges not only to help myself individually but also my Gwad alliance get to the end. My idol was incredibly helpful to getting my alliance to the end. Despite being known as one of the biggest threats in the game come merge no one really tried to get me out. Coach was the only person actively gunning for me come merge (especially after Judd left). On that subject I think the Judd move was one of the most game changing as well as my ability to keep up having two alliances all the way till Final 5. The other two can say they made great moves which they did but I believe mine were more independent (atleast from the other two) and more impactful towards this game. We are the Gwad alliance and I am the Captain of Gwad so that is why you should vote for me.
Thanks for your questions Mary.

1. When I left there where really only 4 people who could be voted out. You guys had made a deal with Eliza to keep her around (or well Ted, doesnt matter) which brought it down to me, Mike and Kelly. You guys claimed to have thought that I had an idol and would play it to save myself that round. Which brings me to the question. Why did you all lie to me that round? If I had the idol I would have played it that round and if I didnt I would have been voted out. Why all the lying? Seems just very unnecessary and I dont think it counts as a blindside when there are only 3 possible people to vote out. I would have totally repected you guys just telling me about it rather than lying to my face. And no Bob, telling me about it 10mins before Lex posted the results does not count as telling.To be honest I didn't feel the need to tell you I was voting you off, what good would it have done? It would have shown distrust in my alliance, we were all safe that round and I just didn't care enough to tell you. You had lied to my face all game about being from the UK, showed severe lack of trust in me by not telling me about your auctions prizes and you very hap-hazzardly tried to talk game with me. So taking all this into account, do you honestly think I was in the wrong holding this from you? I don't. 2. Why did you guys rarely approach me for game talk? You guys mostly wanted to talk "small talk" and shit like that, which is totally fine but this is a game. I mainly heard of your plans through Coach. I know I might not be the most forthcoming person in this game but why not take the initiative more frequently?As I mentioned before you built the foundation of our 'relationship' in this game on a bed of lies. I'm all for people playing Alias and being someone else but when you create an Alias where by you can't back anything up than with the same answer everytime, I see straight through it and just can't trust you, this is why I never approached you for game talk. I also felt 100% safe in my alliance and therefore honestly didn't need too. 3. What is in your opinion your biggest mistake in the game?Voting out Kourtney. There honestly wasn't much else I could do in my situation with my internet but I didn't want this to go ahead at all. I love Kourtney and honestly wanted to take her as far as I could in this game, I would have felt a lot safer in the game with her here but I guess I got to the end anyway. 4. What is in your opinion my biggest mistake in the game?Telling Coach your whole game plan right to the end. It was just dumb, i've made this mistake before so I know. It caused your death and so yeah it's that. 5. What player is the biggest reason you are here today?Ace. If he hadn't mutinied over to Gwadatoo I feel I was doomed, it formed 2BG&AM and I felt safe with him. The switch up couldn't have been more in my favour and it brought the Nu-Gwadatoo together even more, so me i'd 100% say Ace. 6. Who was the best player this game? (Aside from yourself )Sekou Honestly, it's hard to pick one, each player had their own strengths, weaknesses and over all different games which made them the 'best' but i'd have to say Coach. He created himself as the biggest target in the game and the majority of the cast was gunning for him and with good reason. If Coach had made the final 3 he would have swept the Jury and claimed victory and that's the main reason I wanted him gone, sorry Coach. 7. Whats your favorite episode title?Apple of Discord 8. What 7 people should make the all stars? Bob Ted Ace Coach Kourtney Kelly Myself 9. What is your favorite Icelandic band? /britishjoke 10. Last but not least, why should I vote for you?To show that nice guys can finish first! I was after all voted the biggest hero and nicest person by you all  |

I only chose to be British cause being Icelandic is painfully obvious, how many Icelanders actually play orgs?
I guess I can claim PART british cause my grandparents live there and have citizenship but it was kinda the only country thats remotely in the same-ish timezone as Iceland!
You where really offended by that?

Seems just very unnecessary and I dont think it counts as a blindside when there are only 3 possible people to vote out. I would have totally repected you guys just telling me about it rather than lying to my face. And no Bob, telling me about it 10mins before Lex posted the results does not count as telling.To be brutally honest, if you had the idol, I honestly did not want you to play it. I wanted you to go home with the idol. Coach showed me the PM you sent him and your plans to go with him to the end with Mike and him and to take me out late game. I didn't feel keeping you in the game would be in my best interest. You were one of the people I was most threatened by in the game and I think for good reason.2. Why did you guys rarely approach me for game talk? You guys mostly wanted to talk "small talk" and shit like that, which is totally fine but this is a game. I mainly heard of your plans through Coach. I know I might not be the most forthcoming person in this game but why not take the initiative more frequently?I did talk to you about game things and the vote, but nearly as much as Coach. I suppose like you said, Coach was a bit more approachable than you were and he always said he would inform you anyway.
Also when you didn't want to reveal your auction wins, it didn't really encourage us to share information with you.
3. What is in your opinion your biggest mistake in the game?For me the SoS sign, I am just embarassed that thing even exists.
4. What is in your opinion my biggest mistake in the game?I know you are probably sick to death of hearing this, but I think it was the way you handled the auction. Telling Coach your plan didn't really end your game because Jay, Bob and I were already voting you off before Coach even told us anything, we just all distrusted you and felt you had the idol. Chances are if you did tell us exactly what you had, it may have been Kelly going instead of you. We were debating it in a groupchat.5. What player is the biggest reason you are here today?It has to be Jay, because Jay and I were on the same tribe the entire game, Gwadatoo, Talgeni and finally Maliki. We had to depend on each other and trust each other the ENTIRE game, whereas Ace and Bob there were sections of the game we were seperated.6. Who was the best player this game? (Aside from yourself )I could take this opportunity to kiss some jury ass, but my honest opinion would be Bob. He just played an amazing game the whole way through.7. Whats your favorite episode title?"End of a Dictatorship" because its just hilarious. Kim was a dictator in her own mind, and no one else's. That was not my quote though.8. What 7 people should make the all stars? Kourtney, Coach, Ace, Eliza, Mary, Bob and Ted
 - She played an outstanding game. Everyone was scared of her early on. She had a huge impact on the season and was probably the most social in the game. You could talk with her for hours and never get bored.
 - Amazing character and played in character quite well. At times you didn't know if the personality he had was his interpretation of Coach or his actual personality. He won 3 immunties and masterminded the blindside of both Frosti and Kourtney.
 - Ace made awesome videos and was strategically one of the best in the game. He was the only one with the guts and the smarts to make a mutiny move that pushed him into a position that more than just saved him for a few rounds, but put him within very close reach of winning the game.
 - She was not well liked at the merge and seen as a floater throughout, but saved herself on multiple occasions from going home earlier by making good moves. She proved not to under-estimate the underdog.
 - I think for a lot of the game she was seen as Coach's side kick, but I believe Mary had a lot more to do with the what went on behind the scenes than was apparent. Many of us had speculated that you were the true mastermind in the alliance.
:Bob:- He got the idol, won a lot of challenges and played a very sneaky but effective game.
 - Of course  . I think I have already answered why in my opening and question 10. 9. What is your favorite Icelandic band?Well Mary, since I am such an expert on icelandic bands this is a tough decision. There was a show I fell in love with many years ago called Rockstar: Supernova, which is what I wish American Idol really was. One of the rockers on it was an icelandic guy named Magni who just simply kicked ass the entire show. So I had to choose I would go with his band Á Móti Sól.10. Last but not least, why should I vote for you? Because I think I had possibly the biggest impact on how the game played out. I attended tribal council every round with the exception of the Dodgeball round. I was influential in every vote I participated in, and the only one that didn't go my way was Judd, but Bob also had an failure on Valente when he didn't vote Frosti with the group too.
I was in a position of power for most of the game and could have gone to the end with almost anyone, not just Jay and Bob. I always had a backup plan and if things went sour like they did at the start of the merge, I always had a plan to get myself back into the driver's seat.

Thanks for the answers guys!
"Based on the list from Wiki I got because I’ve never heard of any of them I am going to go with Bang Gang. They sound like they have a lot of fun."
My distant uncle sings for that band!

oh boy. Everyone in Iceland was obsessed with that show when it was airing! Nearly everyone watched it. I agree on that being the best "American Idol"-ish show thats ever existed. I occasionally go on youtube and watch some Toby Rand singing "Rebel Yell" and the song he made himself or go watch some Magni singing "dolphins cry". Just amazing
Well im just going to finish this by saying that I am REALLY torn between Ted and Bob. Sorry Jay but I dont think you had enough impact on the game (compared to these two) to get my vote.
Ted and Bob both played very good games and I honestly could see either of you two winning and it would be a deserved. Its going to be very close between you two(for my vote at least, I havnt decided at the moment and ill see what your answers are for other questions from other people to help me determine who to vote for) and I wish you guys the very best of luck at tribal.

On the auction item:
What I really got was the burnt sausage and vote-checker. Numerous people told me that Kourtney had already claimed to have gotten the vote-checker so I figured people would either accuse me of getting the idol or Kourtney. I didnt really want people to think Kourtney had an idol since we planned on blindsiding her and more idol fever would commence and thats not really beneficial when we needed 5 people to stay strong for her vote. I feared someone would flip over from the "5 strong" if they really thought she had an idol. I also thought that people thinking I had the idol would make people fear me a bit, guess thats a bit of a mistake. I dunno. At the time I didnt see a benefit to revealing my items, it would just cause unneeded tension at the time we needed to stay strong.
I did tell you guys after the Kourtney vote (I told Jay at least and maybe the two of you as well?) but im not sure you believed me. Everyone seems to have thought I had the idol at that time anyways!
