Nikki Grahame bitches (sorta.... kinda... maybe?)

[Nikki Grahame]

*Production wanders off to find Nikki to let her know it's time for final tribal council... also to ask if she has any clue about the missing AC that was stolen from Tribal Council.*



*Nikki begrudgingly goes to final tribal but can't help but think the one thing she knows the final 3 are thinking, the jury are thinking, and all the viewers across the world are thinking.*





Alright first off congratulations to you three fuckin wankers on making the finals.


I figure i'd lead off the jury questioning because obviously I'm the star juror and... more importantly I don't know if anyone else on the jury is still alive *pokes the jury with a stick*



Joaquin, upon my vote off at final ten, I went promptly into Ponderosa and pretty much proclaimed my congratulations to you on winning this game as you were obviously the best player on the winning side of the numbers that round. After reading everyone's opening statements I am glad to see my in game perception of you was spot on and I wish you the best of luck. I think this game is wide open for who can win, but I think your going into it with a pretty good head start on the other two.

my first question I have for you is upon the merge and meeting you, you were quickly seen as the good apple in a pile of rotten ones, it had less to do with what you said and more to do with what you didn't say. Do you feel like the personality you displayed during the course of this game is true to who you are in real life on a daily basis or did you play it up quite a bit for the benefit of the game knowing you were aligned with a highly unlikable group of people?

my second question for you is if you three were not the final three, which three jury members would you like to see up in your guys spots?





Ohhhhhhh Grant.... Where to even start with you.....

A lot of Survivor is luck.... I think the problem might be after reading your final tribal council opening statement that you feel your being in the finals is about 80% you controlling your own destiny and 20% luck where as I think the percentages on those two should be flipped.

I'm just going to cut to my first question because really it can decide instantly if you have a shot at my vote or if I only have Cyndi/Joaq to choose from. Although unfortunately after reading your final tribal council opening statement, I fear I already know the answer to this.

Did you truly believe I was lying to you at 10 when I told you that the other side was targeting you or did you use them as a way to get rid of me because I was a threat despite knowing Jen was lying straight to your face?

Because despite what you seemed to believe then, when I told you that Jen had wanted to have me flip and vote out Priya with them, she also discussed about how stupid it would be to keep Joaq/Kat/You together until the F5 with her and I and she was discussing how early we could possibly boot you. The fact that I did have a new computer and upon downloading AIM had not gone into settings and ticked the mark to record conversations is true... but best believe that I have corrected that since that incident... and even though it will be pointless post game since confessionals will be unlocked and you can read for yourself, you best believe you are lucky that Jen had a melt down because your "number one alliance" you flipped back too, because I now have recorded conversations that they would of smiled and put a knife in your back with ease once they no longer needed your number. Their loyalty was to Jen above you. Where as you will also see in my confessional that my promise to you that I was playing for a me/you/gina final three was 100% true and I had your back and her back above all else.

So it would be hard for me to reward someone who made such a horribly wrong decision and 'lucked out' to get to the end when they voted out probably the only two people at the time who had 100% unwavering loyalty to them.

So back to my question, i'm sure the jury would love to know if you truly were playing Jen and knew she was lying straight to your face but used it to oust me (which although stupid because I had your back and she didn't) or if you really had Jen elbow deep up your ass pulling your strings like a good little puppet.

My 2nd question for you is where did you get the idea to play the 'cave man' and in hindsight do you think it was a good strategy. I personally can see how it helped make you appear less threatening which could work towards getting you to the end, but I think by playing up that role you may have isolated some jurors based upon the manner in which you voted them out. (I think some of your votes were referred to by jurors as 'Jen-esque' or 'Oh look at Mini-Jen's vote') As well as this being a social game and the caveman gimmick greatly decreased the amount of personal connection we made and I can assume that with at least some of the other jurors who spent hours having in depth conversations with Joaq and Cyndi, yours seemed pretty superficial due to the restraints maintaining character put on you.  (I wish someone had told me in game that had we told you to drop the schtick we could actually get some in depth real connection from you like Colin did)




Cyndi... Congratulations! I'm glad to see an original Clint Black tribe member sitting in the finals!

My heart is a little torn here, seeing as I missed pretty much the entire merge my knowledge and understanding of what occurred is limited to only your three's opening statements and it seems like based on those that Grant and Joaquin were more of the power movers and you were kind of the tag-a-long who was brought in and brought to the end.

But you make a very good point in that you were loyal to a fault, you played by far the cleanest game of the final three, and much like a Chris Daugherty or a Danni Boatwright you came into the merge and instantly were put in a position against Joaq and Grant where you were in the minority alliance and watched all your friends and closest confidants get picked off by the numbers, only to be one of the last of your alliance standing and weaseling your way into all the cracks of the majority and next thing you know you are the girl who should of been gone weeks ago but you managed to convince people to bring you to the end despite having a jury comprised of a majority of your friends, none of whom you have wronged.

I do feel like I owe you an apology as I assumed in the game that you would ride with me to the very end and never turn on me. Which is exactly why I made an alliance with Grant/GM for the F3 and was a bit nervous when people would talk to me about alliances that involved you in the final three because I always knew 'Who's Cyndi gonna piss off?! The girl will be so beloved that i'd be a fucking idiot to sit next to her in the finals.'

So question is.... are Grant and Joaquin about to be made into fucking idiots for making that mistake ;-)


My first question to you is what was your ultimate game plan at the merge..... were you 100% locked into You/Colin/I as a final 3 and the remaining Clint Black tribe members or did you have another route or person that was a bigger part of your game then I was aware of.

My second question to you is similar to my first question I asked Joaquin. I found you to be a kick ass person and a human being, do you feel like the personality and the person you were inside of this game represents who you are in real life or were you playing up the bubbly, friendly, bad ass-ness to be more likable in this game?



My final question for all 3 of you because Katia is a slutty whore and decided to put a limit of only one 'compare question' allowed in the game despite knowing for almost a month now that I was going to ask her favorite question in honor of her having to deal with my bitch ass attitude all season. So any of you who wanted to do a compare question, blame Katia because she made the rules knowing I was going to do this and pretty much single handily decided none of you could ask a compare question because of me.


Katia likes to vote people out in games with song lyrics. So please compare/assign a song to each juror that you feel best represents them and explain why that song best represents them.....

I'm tempted to give Cyndi extra credit if she answers this question using only Cyndi Lauper songs but.... probably not so ;-)


Good luck all! I hope to be friends with all three of you after this game is over (Yes, even you Grant ;-) )

[Joaquin Souberbielle]

my first question I have for you is upon the merge and meeting you, you were quickly seen as the good apple in a pile of rotten ones, it had less to do with what you said and more to do with what you didn't say. Do you feel like the personality you displayed during the course of this game is true to who you are in real life on a daily basis or did you play it up quite a bit for the benefit of the game knowing you were aligned with a highly unlikable group of people?

On other games I've played I sometimes try to play a character and maybe act a little crazy, but on this game I was a 100% me. I sometimes was an asshole and said some harsh things to people, but I never faked who or how I was. Of course there were some things that you think that are better not said, but that's what this game's all about. As I said before, all the relationships I made in this game were genuine, but I also knew that alligning myself with people with big personalities like Jen wasn't such a bad idea. Back on NuViljandi, I had the choice of siding with either Lisi or Jen. I really liked both of them and they were super nice to me (mostly because they wanted a piece of this), but I ultimately chose Jen because I knew she rubbed people the wrong way and that would take the target off my back and put in on hers. But on the moment I wasn't just using her, I genuinely enjoyed talking to her until some things were said and we stopped talking. Also, part of why I alligned with Grant and Kat was because I knew they were huge threats and that would have given me a little more room to breathe since they would probably be targetted before me. 


my second question for you is if you three were not the final three, which three jury members would you like to see up in your guys spots?


1. Colin - contrary to what he says, I believe Colin really deserves to be sitting here. He maybe didn't make a lot of moves and wasn't a strategic mastermind, but his social game was on point. I still haven't heard a single person said a bad thing about him (except Jen, but she doesn't count lol) and I could have seen him getting a couple votes. He didn't receive a single vote throughout the game (that I know of) except on the F4 where he asked us to be voted out. 

2. Kat - she really deserves to be here because she never hid behind anyone and was pretty much always in control since the game started. Apart from that, her social game was really strong, which is exactly why she was so dangerous at FTC and needed to go. If I was in the jury and she was sitting here, there's a 150% chance that she would get my vote over anyone, and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. 

3. GinaMarie - I was tempted to say you because that's probably what you want to hear, but I feel like she really deserves a spot in here. I really underestimated her at the beginning of this game, but she was a really strong player that had a lot of connections. She was a FTC threat because she was so damn cute and I'm sure she could have charmed up the jury into giving her the win. 

I'm gonna do the other question later, it's probably gonna take me a bit. 

[Grant Mattos]

So it would be hard for me to reward someone who made such a horribly wrong decision and 'lucked out' to get to the end when they voted out probably the only two people at the time who had 100% unwavering loyalty to them.



So back to my question, i'm sure the jury would love to know if you truly were playing Jen and knew she was lying straight to your face but used it to oust me (which although stupid because I had your back and she didn't) or if you really had Jen elbow deep up your ass pulling your strings like a good little puppet.

(I wish someone had told me in game that had we told you to drop the schtick we could actually get some in depth real connection from you like Colin did)



At the Final 10, when I had asked you for proof that Kat and Joaq you couldn't give me the proof, and when I had called you out on that saying "nice try" you responded with "well it was worth a shot" which implied an admission of lying. I also knew Jen was lying to me at the Final 10, that's why I turned against her at Final 9. What you don't know, and what Kat can confirm for you, is myself and Kat had talked between Final 10 and Final 9 about how we didn't want to work with with you OR Jen. The Coincidently, one round later at the Final 9, Jen and Kat have their big blow up, but the rift was already there at the Final 10. So you keep on insisting, even now, that I was below Jen in that alliance, but you are not aware of all the conversations and information that I had to make my decision, it was not based on pure stupidity.  Joaquin was definitely willing to cut me for Jen, Kat never would have. I also knew I had Sean on board to vote for you, and I would not only be voting Kat out of the game, but I would have lost Sean's trust as well. There are a lot of factors you are not considering with regards to the round you went home. The blow-up with Jen and Kat was not just "lucking out", it was on the verge of happening right at 10.



The Caveman shtick is quite frankly out of boredom and for my own amusement, while also giving off blinders to the fact I'm playing the game. Everyone wanted to include in their game because I was seen as an easy vote to drag along. At the Final 10 and Final 9 I had information coming at me from all sides and all sides vying for my vote, and the same thing with Carissa and Eddie's boots.


It was not 80% luck my getting here, and if you are objective and read what went down and take the bitter blinders off, you will see that. It was 60% controlling, and 40% luck I'd say. I made a LOT of moves in my opening, Gina and Jen's boots were more my doing than anyone else, and I was critical swing vote in yours. If you wanna talk about luck, Love Cyndi, but she lucked out twice, I saved her with my ABORT and She lucked out by having Sean be removed at final 6, she was gone. Joaquin, if you wanna talk about luck, should be on the jury right now, but he TOTALLY lucked out by colin quitting the game at Final 4, because he was upset that I went 10 hours in immunity and he couldn't vote me out. That's LUCK! There aren't as many instance you can point to in the game where you can say circumstances I had no control over controlled my fate. The 2 lucky things I'd mention are being on a tribe swap with a very strong winning tribe, only losing once to the merge, and my winning the Abort Button, were the 2 luckiest games in my game. 

[Joaquin Souberbielle]

Ok, GinaMarie going may have been your doing, but I don't think you should take credit for the Jen boot. Yes, part of why she went was because you used the abort botton, but you didn't use it to take her out. You only used the abort botton because you were scared that Colin was lying to us about voting Cyndi and that you would be going home instead. Once I won that immunity, everyone knew that Jen needed to go, so it wasn't like you masterminded this vote.

And I agree about luck playing a part on me being here, like on the rock draw back on NuViljandi. If someone from my side had drawn the purple rock I probably wouldn't be sitting here. But Colin asking us to vote for him wasn't entirely luck. If you hadn't won immunity Colin would still be here and you would be on the jury. The relationship he had with me and Cyndi probably played a factor in him coming to that decision.

I did use it to save CYNDI and make sure Jen left as well. you only went 5 minutes in the immunity jen didn't even try. It certainly isn't fair to say either of our games were 80% luck

Mmm, I actually went over 1 hour and a half, but I was basically the only one that did more than 5 minutes.

I agree that both of us had control of the game most of the times, but we can't deny that luck played a factor in us getting here. That doesn't mean that we didn't played a great game though, even the Survivor winners that are considered amongst the best (Parvati, Yul, etc) got to the end by luck. But yeah, maybe 80% luck isn't a fair thing to say, but maybe around 40%, at least on my part.

[Joaquin Souberbielle]

Carissa Gaghan - Loyal

I didn't know her, but according to Grant they had an alliance and she turned on him. 



Eddie Fox - The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)

Haha don't judge, we were never on the same tribe so I don't know anything about him. 



Nikki Grahame - Fancy

She's a bad bitch who doesn't take shit from anybody, but she always keeps it classy. She also had a couple of haters (cough Jen cough). 



Priya Malik - Dark Horse

Priya was literally a dark horse (okay, not literally but you get my point). At the beginning of this game I really underestimated her but she ended up being a really strong player that could have won the whole thing. 



GinaMarie Zimmerman - Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Not only because GM is as sweet as Dorothy, but because throughout the game she had to deal with a couple of storms and tornados. 



Jen Johnson - Bad Blood

Me and Jen were alligned since we swapped tribes, but then things turned sour when the merge hit. We didn't exactly ended on the best of terms. 



Sean Rector - Runaway

Well I don't have to explain that much on this one, he ran away and never came back. 



Kat Yee - So What

Kat was someone that didn't care what people think, if she wanted to do something she would do it. She was never afraid to speak her mind, but she did it in a way where she still came off as a sweetheart. 



Colin Guinn - Bootylicious

Because that's how he likes his woman, bootylicious. Plus he's getting those booty calls 24/7. 




Since Frederique and Cochran are probably replacing some of the jurors I'll pick songs for them in a bit too. 

[Cyndi Lauper]

My first question to you is what was your ultimate game plan at the merge..... were you 100% locked into You/Colin/I as a final 3 and the remaining Clint Black tribe members or did you have another route or person that was a bigger part of your game then I was aware of.


One true thing about me-in real life and in games- is that once I decide to do something,I see it through to the end, I don't waiver even when it's detrimental to me. I gave you and Colin my word I would never vote against you and I wanted us in the Final 3. When you were on the block as everyone's vote, I was soo mad. I tried to get everyone to vote Kat and I refused Grant to his face that I would never vote for you. When Colin voted for me, and Grant said ohhh Colin voted for you.....blah blah blah. I wasn't sure he voted me, but the numbers were definitely skewed, so I asked him (Colin) if he voted for me. I told him I wasn't mad, just a little hurt, and that I would never have voted for him to leave like that and I was still with him 100%- that I still honored our F3. Call me a sentimental old broad, but I'm usually a "'til death do us part"person when I feel a connection, and I just felt you and Colin and I had a bond from the moment I met you both.

My second question to you is similar to my first question I asked Joaquin. I found you to be a kick ass person and a human being, do you feel like the personality and the person you were inside of this game represents who you are in real life or were you playing up the bubbly, friendly, bad ass-ness to be more likable in this game?

The game me and the real life me are both very much alike, although the real life me, in person-in a casual setting with family or friends- can have a bit of a potty mouth

Songs to follow

[Grant Mattos]

I don't listen to contemporary music, so I will probably using songs from past decades most of you never heard of: 

Carissa:

"Magic Carpet Ride"-Steffenwolf. "Come with me little girl, on a magic carpet ride". Basically explains my weee ride relationship with Carissa.

Eddie:

"Zombie" by the Craberries, need I really explain?

Nikki:

"You Oughta Know" Alanis Morrisette. This was an expression of rage toward her boyfriend who left her for another woman, which is the embodiment of what happened between Nikki, myself and Kat.

Priya

Tool "Third Eye". Pretty cool kind of contemporary song, referring to her Dothead

Gina Marie

Mother-Mother: Tracy-Boneham, Gina Marie is a Mom in real life and was coincidently blindsided on Mother's day

Jen

Violet: Courtney Love. The signature female grunge angst song

Sean

"Coma" BY Guns and Roses, Also self explanatory

Kat:

"I will always love you" by Dolly Parten (Whitney Houston actually covered it). Though a select few may not agree, she was quite lovable.

Colin

"A Day without me" by U2. In honor of his noble sacrifice at the Final 4

[Nikki Grahame]

I knew all of those songs except one grant! :-)

[Cyndi Lauper]

Using my own song titles, of course however, since most of my lyrics are about love--wanting it, finding it, losing it, needing it, insecure in it, etc., it's the titles that give meaning to my choices. So alphabetically:

Carissa: MINNIE & SANTA, because although she played a little girl character, I think the adult Carissa would be like Minnie, waiting every year, on the floor by the cookies and milk dressed in black silk stockings and lace, waiting to go to the North Pole with the love of her life. And who's to say we won't see her and Santa atop a wedding cake some day?

Colin: TRUE COLORS Because while we always hear about him chasing the little chickies, when you talk to him he really has a beautiful soul that shines through like a rainbow of true colors. His true colors as a genuinely nice guy..a hero..certainly shone through when he gave the gift of going further in this game to me and Joaquin.

Eddie: CUT OUT, because he just cut out on the game.

GinaMarie: SHATTERED DREAMS, because her prize, which she was so happy to have and thought by using it she could help her tribe and save me, was a slippery orb of illusion that shattered in her hand, dashing her chances of going as far as she definitely could have.

Jen: (sorry she has to have 2 ) LIES/ ONE TRACK MIND ,because she got so caught up in her own webs of deceit and manipulations, she couldn't see beyond her own end goal that she was alienating the very people she thought she was controlling.

Kat: GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN, because while I didn't know you, it seems that you knew what you wanted, and weren't afraid to go get it and didn't need to apologize for just doing your own thing and having fun while doing it.

Nikki: KINDRED SPIRIT, it speaks for itself.

Priya: CHANGE OF HEART because you flip flopped on those who really wanted to be your friends, and it cost you everyone's trust.

Sean: FARAWAY, NEARBY, because while most of us didn't actually "see" you and you seemed far away, you were still nearby with that Boot List.

For the alternates:

Cochran: HE'S SO UNUSUAL,speaks for itself. I loved the real Cochran, and from what little I saw of the game Cochran, he seemed like he had a quirky personality.

Frederique: HAT FULL OF STARS, because she had a hat full of plans that twinkled out in the harsh light of day.

My mind is now a musical hodgepodge of contemporary, old school and nostalgic oldies. Rock on and peace out!

[Joaquin Souberbielle]

Frederique van del Wal - Maneater

She definitely knew how to use the flirt card, even though her avatar didn't do her any favors (there were a couple people that though she was a guy)



John Cochran - Happy

Sorry for the song Cochran, I know is lame as fuck (hope you don't like this one too Nikki), but the meaning is what matters . You were always in such a good, and even when you were voted out you didn't left like a sore loser. You were a joy to play with. 

[Jen Johnson]

You guys love me, stop it.
