Kelly's Question

[Kelly Shinn]

Hello Final 2. Nice to see you both here.

Lol jk. Its obvo that i couldnt care less now that liz is out. So i will now ask my question person who answers it better wins. This will be very biased, but also try to be honest ill try to understand.

I want you guys to rank the jury 3 times. The first by how they played the game socially, the second by how they played strategically, and then by how entertaining they were.

Then i want you to go through the jury and name how they played, The three choices you have is; strategic, over the top, and under the radar.

Whichever you choose for each jury member i want you to list 3 pros and cons of their game.

I expect at least 500 words in total and any less will result in the loss of my vote. I WILL use an online word counter to see how many words it has.

[Gabriel Cade]

Well it's not gonna be 500 words, so yeah, I guess I shouldn't even try to answer this

[Kelly Shinn]

well try and we'll see if i accept it.

Socially:
Cirie - not too well, since she went before any of the other tribe did
Lydia - pretty well, she knew what was going on, but was in the minority
Tom - we PMed once, he seemed into the game so I'd say good
Ethan - pretty poor since he couldn't turn anything around in his favor
Kelly - very well, you seemed to talk to pretty much everyone

Strategically:
Cirie - not well, because, like I said, she went before me, Ethan or Lydia did
Lydia - she had a strong alliance (as she told me), but they were all inactive
Tom - seemed blindsided by the vote, so it wasn't as good as he thought
Ethan - Lydia's right-hand man, nothing more
Kelly - tried to flip the script in the game, so I'd say pretty well

Entertaining:
Cirie - no offense, but didn't really remember you
Lydia - pretty funny, especially in how she communicated with me
Tom - fun guy
Ethan - buzzkill
Kelly - fun

Cirie - UTR, didn't really remember you that much and you went way too early
Lydia - Over the top, blatantly made it clear to me that I was on the chopping block in several occasions, which is why I flipped on her
Tom - UTR, didn't see much strategizing, but that's because we didn't talk much, which is also my fault
Ethan - Over the top, way too visible with his emotions and didn't do much on his own but relied on Lydia
Kelly - Strategic, you sided with Ethan when you needed to, thinking it would've gotten you farther

Pros:
Cirie - in a tribe of majority, strategic enough to make the merge, seemed to be blindsided
Lydia - strong in challenges, formed a semi-strong alliance, talked with everyone
Tom - in a tribe of majority, strong in challenges, also seemed to be blindsided
Ethan - latched onto a majority alliance, strong in challenges, dominant overall
Kelly - in a tribe of majority, strategic, made bold moves

Cons:
Cirie - wasn't in the majority alliance, too quiet, not the best in challenges
Lydia - too overconfident, member of the minority alliance, seen too much as a threat
Tom - wasn't in the majority alliance, quiet, didn't see it coming
Ethan - too cocky, too self-serving, member of the minority alliance
Kelly - not in the majority alliance, trusted the wrong people, went too early

This is all from my point of view, so I am sure there were some conversations and such I didn't hear about ^_^

Social Rank:
1. Tom. Tom was everywhere, he talked to just about everyone. Everyone liked him. I think had Tom made the Final 2, he would have won for sure because of his social game.
2. Lydia. Lydia made the rounds as well. I know she messaged and talked to a lot of people, getting to know them pretty well. In my one conversation with her, I liked her.
3. Cirie. Cirie really talked to a lot of Djoser, but from what I saw I never really see her talk to any of the Giza members.
4. Ethan. Ethan did try talking to people, but I didn't see it. He only came to me in an attempt to swing the vote his way.
5. Kelly. No one really seemed to talk to you besides Me, Tom, and Cirie. If I recall correctly, you even said yourself you didn't talk to anyone.

Strategic Rank:
1. Tom. Tom is #1 again because he had a lot of plans, and a lot of things going for him. He was always thinking a few steps ahead, and always had a plan up his sleeve.
2. Cirie. Cirie also knew what was going down. She was also set up to go a long way had she not been taken out then
3. Lydia. I think Lydia knew exactly what she was doing. She was very convincing when I talked to her, she knew the game well. Had she been on the side with the numbers, I would bet everything I have that should would be in the F2.
4. Kelly. I think Kelly was aware of her position, and was waiting to make a move. I think by the time she did, it was too late. Even from the start it seemed like she was settling around for 5th place.
5. Ethan. I didn't see Ethan do too much. It looked like Lydia was running things and putting things together for Giza. His only attempt at strategy with me was when he was being voted out.

Entertaining Rank:
1. Tom. Wow it looks like I am kissing Tom's ass @_@ Anyways, I talked to Tom a lot. I had some great conversations with him, and I wasn't ever bored talking to him.
2. Lydia. I had a great conversation with Lydia, it made me think, also made me frustrated at times. She had a lot of things to say, that were interesting.
3. Kelly. You would have been 5 had you not exploded on me when you were voted out. You definitely left with a bang, which I totally did not expect or see coming.
4. Cirie. I loved talking to Cirie, but it was almost always about the game and it was very cut and dry. Not too exciting, though I am sure she is a blast to just talk to.
5. Ethan seemed really nice, but he just didn't do much the whole game. I tried having a conversation, and he kinda seemed like he wasn't all that interested.


How Jury Played:
Cirie-Strategic. She had a lot of sway and power, especially premerge.
Lydia- Strategic. She was very smart, she knows the game well. She worked some people just the right way.
Tom- Strategic. Tom had a lot of plans. He knew how to play, and was very keen. That's what made it so hard to take him out, because I never knew what he had up his sleeve.
Ethan- UTR. I never saw much of Ethan's game, so I can't really assign one of the other two.
Kelly- UTR. You knew what you were doing, purposefully playing UTR. And it was working really well for you. You know how to play UTR very well.

Pros and Cons:
Cirie- Pros: Lots of thinking ahead, Lots of good connections made, Good to talk game too. Cons: Made self a huge threat, seemed a bit controlling at times, was too trusting.
Lydia- Pros: Very smart, very intuitive, knows how to present an argument to flip. Cons: Very upfront(which turns some people off), showed her cards to a lot of people, was a bit sneaky
Tom- Pros: Very intuitive, fun to talk to, great at the strategy part. Cons: Made self a HUGE threat, was too trusting, and made his ally(me) nervous about what his plans were.
Ethan- Pros: He seemed nice so no one was dying to take him out, he was not considered a huge threat for too long, and he let others take the fall before him. Cons: Wasn't quite proactive enough, didn't stand out enough, didn't communicate with the right people.
Kelly- Pros: Knew a lot that was going on, was not considered a threat, was in a good position to flip the game around. Cons: Didn't pull a move sooner, didn't talk to everyone enough, seemed to settle for her position in the tribe at times.
