Betrayal on Survivor Island

So I’ve talked before about my online Survivor game that I’ve been playing. I have basically been mimicking Todd’s gameplay (at first purely accidently, towards the end very deliberately). We all know now that Todd won this past Sunday night. I made it to the final four playing under the name Mick (yes, everyone in my game thought I was a man) and was confident that I would be in the final three. Of the four players left, two were in my Final Three alliance, with one being my Final Two alliance if the game had gone to two finalists. From the very beginning the only person I was absolutely honest with was my F2 alliance member. I told him EVERY plan I had, and EVERY vote to make. He absolutely rode my coattails the entire game. So when our F3 person won the last immunity, it was (in my mind) obvious that the person NOT in our F3 alliance would get booted. My F3 person lamented voting out F4, but knew it was the honorable thing to do – to stick with the F3 alliance.

Little did I know, my F2 alliance decided to stab me in the back and voted for me. This caused a tie between F4 and me. And since I had about a billion votes against me in past tribal councils, I lost the tiebreaker and was sent to the jury. In his final statement to me, F2 said that “someone told me you were voting me out” – which I know is a lie. I doubted it when I read it, and doubted it even more when F4 started taking credit for having F2 vote me out. Then F3 emailed me to tell me the truth – that F2 had emailed her saying he couldn’t let me go in front of the jury because I’d definitely win (see Todd winning on Sunday).

And sure enough, once I got to the jury I had quite a number of them emailing me to say, “Sorry you got booted – I would have voted for you.”

I HAD this game – absolutely. Of course, I promptly emailed the entire jury to tell them to vote for F3, and a couple have confirmed that they will. I do NOT want F2 to win.

My final jury questions to the remaining players:

F4 – name two moves you made in the game that you regret? (I guarantee she’ll say, “telling F2 to vote you out because you are huge threat” – which will make me laugh because I’m not egotastic Jean-Robert).

F2 – do you think people who coast in the game of Survivor deserve to win? If so, why? If not, why?

F3 – what’s your favorite movie?

I think it’ll be quite obvious who I’m voting for. *lol*

For those who like online games, I highly recommend you participate this coming season at Lance’s Survivor Pick’em. The Out Pick’em game is AWESOME (this is my third year doing it, and my highest result yet).

Update mere moments later: True to form, this is what F4 had to say to my question: “Sorry Mick – but you were such a strong competitor that I was scared that if you got through to the end with us, to the Final 3, you would have won the whole thing!!”
