Carolina's Q&A Thread

[Carolina Eastwood]

~ This is a flawless post presented by Carolina..
and not that ghetto trick bitch, Na'Cunta. ~

This is an open opportunity for either of you to get a vote from me. I don't hate or overly love either of you, to be frank. It's split down the middle, fifty/fifty, and either of you could earn my vote if you answer these questions fully and and to my liking. Sitting from the outside looking in, after I was sent to Ponderosa, it was clear to me that since Na'Onka turned on Anagana so quickly and easily, that she had someone with one of the remaining three Tortola. I didn't know who it was, but I did have the feeling that it was you, James. You always came to Na'Onka, Kelly, and I, and messaged us, told us how each vote was going down, and confirmed our moves every round and took advantage of us, knowing that we were in a desperate situation so we were at your beck and call. It was a smart move each round you did that and you really showed your strength in being this season's Puppet Master, as I would most likely deem you. But with your social strength in knowing the ongoings of everyone in this game you did have a side to you that I didn't like at all and that was that you seemed over-confident, egotistical, and a bit of a narcissist.

James -- Tell me why I should vote for you over Ashley, and I want detailed reasons as to why I should. What would you have done if Na'Onka left instead of Todd, and if you hadn't been aligned with Na'Onka, would you have been fine in voting out all of Anagana, just like Joel, Parvati, Ethan, etc would have wanted? And last, based on the questions and statements so far, do you see you or Ashley winning the game?

Now, James had came to us and spoke to us on a regular basis it seemed like, confirming our votes and the like, but I never really heard as much from you, Ashley. You seemed content in your China alliance with James and Ashley and the side-alliance you had with Kelly, that you didn't even care to talk to me. Surely if that crossed your mind then you would have spoken to me a bit more, right? But beside that, I just want to give a big, huge thank you for not taking that ghetto skank, Na'Cunta to the end with you. I don't know how I would have felt seeing the winner of this game being some overplayed cuntress who absolutely makes my stomach turn and want to upchuck all my insides on a daily basis. On your statement, Ashley, I feel like you've been too nice in talking about James, and I want you to be a bitch, he did backstab a big alliance for some random ghetto cunt, after all. Get mean, get mad, show me how much of a bitch you can be when answering some of these questions regarding James and the way he played.

Ashley -- Did you not care to talk to me because you didn't need to? Did you realize that I'd be making the end of the game to cast a vote for a winner? How would you describe your game? Were you more strategic or competitive, and when it comes to voting for a winner.. should the person voting vote for the stronger competitive or stronger strategic player? And, I want you to talk trash on James' game and like I said.. be mean.

Hey, Carolina! I’m glad that this is an open vote for you, this way I’ll work extra hard to get it! xD Jumping right into these questions, though. So, I really was content with my China 3 alliance, and Kelly on the side. I mean, who wouldn’t be. I had strong Tortola members on my side and I had Kelly, who also had ties with you and Na’Onka. It was hard to not feel content. We did speak like three or four times, but they were brief, and I’m sorry that it felt as though I didn’t care to speak with you. I did like you and didn’t really harbor any ill feelings towards you either. I think the round that you left was just the way it went down through process of elimination, nothing personal. If you want to look at personal votes, look to Na’Onka. LMAO. You two had some pretty harsh words for eachother when you left, but yeah. As a matter of fact, the speech you gave when you left in the Tribal Council thread is one of the reasons why I didn’t take Na’Onka to the end with me. I mean, I knew she wouldn’t have yours or Kelly’s votes for sure, or Todd’s, but I could have definitely seen everyone else caving in to vote with her over the people that “backstabbed” them. So as much as not taking her to the end could be looked at as a favor to you .. I also did it because taking her to the end really was a death wish and I’d have no chance in hell of even winning the competition.

In this game, I think I was a combination of the two, but if I had to weigh both sides to my game, I’d say about 60% of my game was competition, and 40% of my game was social strategy. I was so content with China 3 and Kelly, and then also when I had Joel and Parvati, that I never really branched out and made other bonds. That may hurt me in the end, but I don’t think it will. I mean, as you see, I’m getting heat from Joel for backstabbing him, and the last thing I would have wanted to do in this game is make more alliances that I would have had to break later on in the game. I sincerely hate being a Villain when it comes to Survivor, I really just can’t stand it at all! Now, when it comes to voting for which game style, it really all depends on the person, you. Do you value someone who puts their all into these competitions, especially to win at the times they needed to win them the most .. so they have that ultimate triumph that’s like, “Yes! I avoided that, I’m staying in this game.” I had a lot of those moments in this competition, as people have mentioned, my main moment was probably that F4. I would have been in Todd’s shoes right now, and not here in the F2. I can’t imagine being in the F4 and being sent out by a rock, it’s horrible, and I'm grateful that I avoided that.

As for your last request, this is easy for me, Carolina! James was an alright player, but he was reckless and stupid. He backstabbed people consistently and for what reasons? There really were none as far as I can tell. Some of the people in this game were obviously just trying to make an All Stars season and I do think that James was one of them. Yes, he played well, yes, he made it to the end, but some of the stuff he did to get here isn’t going to earn him many gold stars at the end of the day for strategy. James is the type of player that you want to avoid when coming into the game of Survivor. Usually when I make an alliance Day One, I stick by that alliance no matter what, through thick or thin until the end when tough decisions have to be made. Did he do that? No. He sang sweet things in Todd and my ear, but went behind our back at the end of the game and basically fraternized with the enemy, Anagana; no offense. It just goes to show you that you may think you know somebody at the end of the day, but you really don’t. I don’t like James, I don’t hate James, but I really don’t care for James. If he wins, so be it, but honestly, I don’t think he deserves to win this game whatsoever. Giving him the win is like awarding the devil his horns. Yes, I just compared James to the ~devil.

Hello there, Carolina. When the merge happened, I did want to keep close tabs on Anagana. I wanted to have the inside scoop on what all of you were doing and what you were planning to do. Although, that wasn’t a problem as I had Na’Onka and both you and Kelly seemed very close with her, so everything that was discussed of importance, I was eventually told either way. The main reason that I would also talk to you and Kelly was so that not everything was being delivered through Na’Onka. I was all for covering up Na’Onka and my alliance and I always tried to keep it a secret and while you said you kind of thought it was me, you didn’t even know for sure, and that is what was so great about Na’Onka and I aligning. No one had any idea how close we were and that we vowed to take eachother to the end. Not only that, but I did want you and Kelly to feel like you had me in the game, so that if anything did cross your mind, you would come to me over any of the other Tortola. Let me ask you this. Out of everyone on Tortola, who did you talk to the most? Who extended a hand in helping you make decisions and circulating the word… Todd? Ashley? I did… it was me. I was the one who talked to you guys.

The true fact that you, Na’Onka, and Kelly were in a desperate position was also easy to take advantage of. I haven’t been sitting her trying to play it like I am some Saint in the game. I know I backstabbed a lot, took advantage of people, but I am owning it. Look at Ashley right now. She is trying to come across as mother Theresa and trying to justify every move she made in this game, but the real underlying reason is that she backstabbed and turned on her own, even though she is trying to say it’s because she stuck to her first loyalty in China. Wouldn’t Ashley’s first loyalty be with Kelly since they joined the game together? For those reasons, you should vote for me over Ashley. I am not playing it up and trying to be something I’m not. I was the “devil” as Ashley referred to me in her answer and I have no problem being called that because that is the way I played the game. Why would you want to vote for someone who is putting up a front and making excuses as much as they can? I am the real deal and I am telling you how it is and how it was. No fake staged sympathy to get votes from anyone either.

If Na’Onka left over Todd, I would have been in Ashley’s position at the F3. In the F3 it was Na’Onka and I taking her on, and if Na’Onka had left it would have been Ashley and Todd against me. I do think that had I been in that position, I would have tried 10x harder in the Final Challenge. Not that I didn’t try hard already, but the fact that it was a weekend really did have an effect on my performance. Ashley knew the stakes she had against her, that’s why she probably posted for long durations of time. I am thankful that it wasn’t the case though, and that Todd did leave. The reason why I did flip to Na’Onka at the point in the game was because I did think that keeping Ashley and Todd in the game any longer would be giving them the win. They were too good at challenges. They knew that, everyone knew that, and I also was aware of how close Ashley and Todd were becoming. Had it been F3 with all of us, I would have been out and in third place. It had to be done, and it worked, because I’m right here in the F2. I made the right decisions.

If I wasn’t aligned with Na’Onka and I didn’t have anything with any of you at that point, I would have voted you three out, yeah. I wouldn’t have any need for you guys to be in the game. I had China and Parvati, and there would have been no need to keep you guys around, except easy voting for three rounds unless one of you won Immunity. You can’t say you would have done the same if you had been in a Tortola’s shoes either, because taking the easy route is what a lot of people would do. But since I had Na’Onka and I didn’t want to take her closest allies out at that point in time, I saved you guys. Based on the questions and statements so far in the game, who do I think will win? I don’t know. I’m not letting it get to me. I’m just going to answer all these questions to the best of my ability and not sugarcoat anything like Ashley is doing. If people want their asses kissed in their questions then they need to state that in their questions. I’m not going to pull your pants down for you and lay a big one on your ass. If you want it, state it, but if not, then I’m telling you how it is honestly. Thanks for reading Carolina, good luck!
