Hey guy, I just want to say congrats to both of you on making it to this point. No matter what anyone may say, you both deserve your spot here. From what I can see, you both played very different game. Tina, I feel you played under the radar. Some may see it as tailcoating, but I don't think so. sometimes its important to not be notice because there was plenty of people that left in this season for that reason. It was why players like Colby, Marisa, Debb, Jenna, Richo, Libby and I were taken out I believe. I think it was also the reason why Sandra left because she was seen as a threat to win the game. You definitely show that there is a lot more to the book than just the cover. I also feel that you are one of the nicest people here. However, for my question to you, I want you to shatter that image. I personally feel that nice is nice, but it doesn't win someone the title of Sole Survivor. I want you to be brutal, blunt, and b***y about how you played the game. I don't want to see any apologise from you. You shouldn't have to feel sorry for how you played. You're here for a reason. Ryan, I see you as the powerhouse in a lot of the challenges. I admire someone like you who puts everything they can into a challenge. It shows a lot of heart and strength. You were someone I underestimated early on into the show and as you can see I payed the price. For my question to you, I want to hear all your major powerplays that you made in this season, because to be frank, I don't know anything about how you played. Between you and Tina, I've spoken to her a lot more. So I just want to hear from you about your gameplay. thanks to both of you and congrats to both of you on making it this far. -Vee

Ryan, I see you as the powerhouse in a lot of the challenges. I admire someone like you who puts everything they can into a challenge. It shows a lot of heart and strength. You were someone I underestimated early on into the show and as you can see I payed the price. For my question to you, I want to hear all your major powerplays that you made in this season, because to be frank, I don't know anything about how you played. Between you and Tina, I've spoken to her a lot more. So I just want to hear from you about your gameplay. Hey Vee thanks for the question.
The power plays I made in this game tended to be very suddle. My first one I really made was making an alliance with Jonny and Debb. We had a final 3 but as you can see that went downt the tubes. I was very upset when Debb was eliminated because I knew that was the end to my final 3. Then Jonny went inactive and I was SOL. I was hoping for that to work for the majority of the begining of the game. Through this I started to get close with Tina Carolina and Jonathan. I knew that Jonathan was going to be someone I needed on my good side. I as well as Tina tried very hard to keep original Tanso together as long as possible. When Tina went over to Ginto I made sure she was still with us and her and I thought a lot the same with how we wanted to go about getting numbers. The next move I made was TRYING make an alliance with myself Carolina Sandra and Jenna. After Amber was eliminated I knew Jenna didnt really have anyone and I didnt think Sandra did either. Neither one of them would really give me an anwser so I had to vote out Jenna. The best move I made I think was making a final 2 with Carolina. I knew if the 2 of us could get to the end I would have a decent chance of winning seeing as she was vey unpopular with everyone. I also knew she didnt talk very much so there was little to no chance of her backstabbing me or trying to get numbers to vote me out. The next thing was the Richard vote. I knew the vote was Sandra but I didnt know what all the items were. I convinced Sandra the vote was Richard and her vote ended up saving Jonathan. The next thing was getting you out. I had wanted you out for awhile because I saw you as my biggest threat. I can't take all the credit for that one because Jonathan and Tina wanted you out as well. My next move was of course the Jonathan move. I knew he would beat me in the end and I felt that him and Tina had a final 2 and that would leave me 3rd. I was playing to win I had to get him out. My final move was the Sandra vote. The reason Tina stayed was one because I had said whoever got 2nd in the challenge would go and two because tina had said something about going to the end with me where as Sandra had not until it was to late so I kept the person that would most likely take me in case I lost.
Wow I feel like I wrote a freaking novel lol. I hope that anwsers your question. I would also like to add if I am anwsering these the way I saw it so if I take credit for something I didnt do dont get mad thats just how I saw it

Alrighty, then.... lets get down to business!!
I started out this game as a quiet player. I wanted to sit back, go unnoticed, and try to make it far. As soon as the twist was revealed that Colby and Ozzy were back in the game, I was pissed. I wanted them both out immediately... this was our season, not theirs. Had I been given the chance, I would have fought hard to get Colby out. It just so happened everyone else wanted him gone too that I didn't need to raise any hell. I honestly played a very quiet game until merge... then I got vocal. There was no way I was going to let the damn Ginto members vote me out. It was time to get down and dirty. I approached Jonathan about the idea to get the original Tanso together and keep us tight until the end, even if it meant betraying the cross-tribal alliance that was created earlier in the game. I did not give a crap about that alliance because I knew when we got down to 3-3 that a tie would occur... it was time to something now, and early. To be honest, I played the other Ginto members, mainly you Vecepia. I had a mission and I set out to complete it... Tansos to the end. And it worked (besides the time when Ryan and Caralina got really stupid and voted out Jonathan--- all Sandra had to do was win the F4 and F3 immunity and she would be where I am today). I disagree with your saying I road coattails. I was, in fact, a driving force in the Tanso alliance. Sure, I made it seem like Jonathan was the one who did it... but why not let someone else do my dirty work? While he was busy trying to figure out what to say to whom, I simply kept my "enemies" closer to me by forming good relations with them. I could have been a much nastier player, but it was not needed. Vecepia, I hope this is what you are looking for... the fact you want be to be a b*** is difficult, but I did reveal the "b***" moves I made to the best of my knowledge.
