Morgan's Moment

[Morgan]

Hey everyone, sorry for being fashionably late.

Colby, you definitely were a gladiator in those last four individual immunity challenges, but to me, your social game was severely lacking. You and I hadn't even really talked until the merge hit. If you could go back and change one thing about your game, what would it be and why?

Shirin, you were quite arguably the biggest goat in the game. Was that part of your strategy to make it to the end and explain to people how you were actually playing the game the whole time and leading people to believe that you were this big goat?

Thank you in advance for your answers to these questions.

Hey girl! 

Our relationship got hindered by that problem that you had with your AIM. I thought you didn't trust/liked me because I would talk to you and you wouldn't respond. I do wish we could have communicated more.

One thing I would change was precisely that, my communication with other people. I am aware that I seemed kinda disinterested in conversations and that's something you need for people to trust you and to want to play with you. I'm not gonna come here and say it was all an act and that I did it on purpose so people wouldn't take me seriously and not vote me out because I think that's silly and the easiest and lamest excuse to give to people. 

Thank you!

I've answered this question elsewhere but yeah, it was partly a strategy. once I realised my social game had been a relative flop I started to really play the goat thing up to everyone I thought might not take me to the end (so pretty much everyone but Alina, cos we were taking each other no matter what). there might have been some truth to it, but as I've covered elsewhere, my head was definitely in the game, even if I wasn't around as much as I rightly should have been (though by the sounds of it, Colby wasn't either). playing up the goat image might be a "lame" strategy, but it's also one that works. if Colby and I both had weak ass social games, you can only really compare physical and strategic gameplay. Colby got by on immunity challenges alone, and while my challenge performance was nowhere near on his level, it was still pretty good. I won an individual immunity and was a serious contender in many other postmerge challenges. strategically, Colby was only part of your blindside rounds after Alina and I had thought the plan up, and he was out of the loop completely when it came to Erinn's boot at F5. he had little to no strategic influence on the post merge (unlike myself) and took me to FTC because he obviously saw me as a "lame" "goat" that "tries too hard". I think it's kinda "lame" to take the person you perceive as an easy beat to the end when your own game was less than spectacular, but I guess that's not my place to say lol

Just because ''you'' and Alina talked about booting Morgan before she actually did it doesn't mean that I hadn't thought the same. Just like I thought voting you off at 6th place had Chencha been the final 6. And you were only able to vote off Morgan because Erinn and I agreed because you could easily been voted off that round.

Also, the objective of the game is to win, not do something like the real Colby did and lose. If it wasn't for Alina you wouldn't be here. You were hardly online, and never showed interest in talking game (except Alina) and you didn't even approached me when I won the final challenge. I mean how lazy can you get?

[Shirin]

ok but your plan to get rid of me never came to fruition did it? and it's just as well you and Erinn agreed to it, or Morgan might very well be here instead of you (which it seems a lot of these people would prefer).

I didn't have to plead my case to you because lmao everyone had been saying they weren't taking Cass to the end for like, the whole post-merge, because it was commonly believed that she would sweep the jury. I would have been floored had you not taken me because yes, it would have been a very real-Colby move to take Cass. was it lazy of me to not "fight"? sure, maybe, but pandering unnecessarily isn't my style, and you brought me anyway, didn't you? I had no interest in talking game with you because by the time there was a reason to do so (e.g. as our riding of the chencha wave came to an end) I had already decided I had no strategic future with you and had put my eggs in other baskets accordingly. that worked for me. I had no plans nor desire to make alliances that I didn't intend to stick to.

in the end, the jury chooses whether I'm as much of a flop as you seem to think I am. if you win then I will absolutely give you full props and will not be bitter in the slightest, but until that happens, please take a seat.

[Colby]

We didn't have to be aligned to talk to me. I didn't wanna make any alliances I didn't want to either and I still approached people. That's why I think a) you were lazy during the game and the only person you really played with was with Alina; b) you're making it look like you were much more than you were.

But you're correct, they're the ones who are gonna choose and not me but I felt like I had to say something
