FINAL 8!!! We're entering the final week of the game and the finish line is in sight! Hopefully you'll recharge this weekend and come in hot for the home stretch.

1-A lot of secrets were let out of the bag during the challenge tonight. Were you surprised by any of the answers you got? Feeling nervous about how you're being perceived?

2-That jury bench is starting to fill up. Who up there do you think would vote for you? Who wouldn't?

3-Can you see your path to the end? DO you have any deals to get yourself there? If not, what is your plan?

Lurker Here,

Here to provide some final questions for my winner pick, as we head into the FINAL WEEK,

As a three-time final week alumnus, I know that this is where dreams are made and hopes are crushed, and I don’t just mean the ones where I’m naked and have to give a presentation while simultaneously falling to my death. The decisions you make in this next week are either going to be in your winning montage or haunt you so much that you are forced to play time and time again in a perpetual state of Samsara finally waiting for your chance to clinch that W.


So, consider me to be the Dickensian Jacob Marley to your Ebenezer Scrounge as I ask you a question about the past, the present and the future of your time in this game to hopefully push you to the next level to get that bag.


THE FUTURE.

Former Nate Winner Pick, Jean-Paul Sartre once said “everything starts with a plan - and then you end up with shit all over your Ford Fiesta”. In terms of your plan, if everything were to go your way – what is the boot list for the rest of the season? Who do you take with you to the Final 3? How do you plan on making this happen?


THE PAST.

While there’s still a lot of game to play, nobody can win Stranded off the final week alone. Previous Nate Winner Picks have run marathons on one leg, have competed on the International Underground Hungry Hungry Hippos Circuit and walked on water. As a Nate Official Winner Pick, do you think you’ve done enough to earn that notable distinction? If Final Tribal Council was tomorrow, what would be your pitch? If you get to the Final 3, do you think you can win it?


THE PRESENT.

In the film Kung Fu Panda, the main character creates a social networking app from his college dorm, but dies before he can tell his story. Here is your chance to tell your story. If/when you win this season, what would be the first words that they play during your winner montage and/or in memoriam segment?

1. I was very surprised not to win anything, but pretty thrilled about it. Nobody worry about Charlie has been my strategy and it seems to be working. I knew coming into this game that my strategies were going to have to adapt to be Stranded instead of Survivor and one of the biggest pieces of that for me was chat logs. Yes I posed in the interviews that I wanted to be the sweet, beloved one who comes out of nowhere and is ruthless. But spreading a plan in a game where people are copying and pasting what everyone said is a little more complicated than I thought it would be. And when I needed to cut down someone, Devens, I stepped up to the plate to do so.

I also tried to negate any he's playing "under the radar" energy by pretending to be upset about the outcomes of the votes. I think I'm laying around a lot of misdirects and telling a lot of half-truths that allowed me to avoid being labeled as the most likely to win or biggest strategist. Randy is a bitch for unnecessarily coming for me at the end but he's playing his game too and I've gotten a little too smart with him. I have remember that this is the most critical time to maintain the persona.

2. I don't know that Aurora Susie or Devens would vote for me right now. If we are operating on the assumption that the cast really does believe I am playing this highly passive game and not manipulating votes to save friends and soliciting all the information that I share and mis-share appropriately, then they probably have no intention to vote for me at this moment. I very much might be perceived as the goat. And for a minute there in the middle I was really worried that I was the goat. But I am growing in confidence and I believe that I can make the pitch that captures votes if I can just get to the end.

3. Getting to the end and winning is such a obscured path for me right now. I have close relationships and potential alliances with everyone left but Eric. I think I do have the potential to be dragged to the end, if the people do not wise up like they haven't so far. But I do not want to be dragged to the end because the jury will say wtf did you do and I'll only have relationships to offer up. I have to get to the end purposefully. And I think I need another betrayal or blindside on my resume. I have my eye on my baby Chris. It's been something I've had to think about since the very first Taraku tribe. Timing is everything. I don't want to fuck this up this close to the end.

I wrote this whole long answer to your questions Nate and then when I clicked submit it logged me out probably due to inactivity and I lost it all. So I will see when I have the strength to go at that again.

Ok this was my boot order in an ideal world:

Randy (He's blown up every plan and is a wild card still, I actually did end up talking with Ron about this vote and am now like oooh this boot order though)
Chris (So the votes are going on Gillian and Gillian plays her idol and at the last second I tell her and Michelle to switch their votes to Chris and he goes because Mattygate was too good and it fulfills me having been thinking about doing this since the beginning)
Michelle (She gets idoled out by like Eric. I don't have to vote for her in this scenario. Ideal)
Eric (He could win that final four immunity)
Lauren (I would want Lauren to win right now if it wasn't me but I have to make sure it's me if I'm in the final 3 and sending Lauren home gives me that chance)

Final 3 Gillian Charlie Ron

I have a list of things I did in this game that I am ready to leave all out on the floor. I typed out a giant paragraph yesterday but I think the universe wants me to think carefully about what I would pitch and that's why it didn't post. Or it wants me to not count my chickens before they hatch. I can't tell but I do know that I am charming, I can tell a great story, and I am good on the fly. I've done whatever has put me in the better position going forward to get farther, and if I make it to the end it will be a damn good social/strategic game. And I have a week to clarify and strengthen the list of reasons why I outplayed so I could outlast. As long as I can survive just five more votes. The end is in sight.

And I think I beat Gillian and Ron in the end. I know that boot order wont happen exactly as I would imagine but I will keep those thoughts in mind and adapt it into the current status of the game.

If I get to the end without having a round where everyone sees me as a threat and is going for me, on my winner montage it would probably be something like Not Charlie. Nobody look at Charlie. Don't worry about Charlie. It's just Charlie!
Or if I don't make it to the end of the game the first words will probably police sirens. Maybe police sirens either way.
