Congrats Eddie and Tracy on making it to the Final 2. I'm actually not sure who to vote for despite the jury rabidly being #TeamEddie. With all of that being said though, here are my questions...

Both of you: If you had to remove a juror, who would it be and why? Also, rank the jury's gameplay from best to worst and explain why.

Tracy: Why do you think people felt so betrayed by you?

Eddie: Do you believe you would have made it as far as you have without the alliance of myself/Chase/Tracy/you? If so, why? If not, why?

Thanks guys!

Eddie: Do you believe you would have made it as far as you have without the alliance of myself/Chase/Tracy/you? If so, why? If not, why?

Hmm that it a tough one. The three of you were all huge in me getting here. Had I not been in the alliance, presumably someone else would have been. My only real option then would have been teaming up with Woo, Morgan and Jefra at f8 (presuming John replaces me?) Me and Jefra throw the challenge and use the idol to get you out, then throw it again to get out John. I think that would have been incredibly hard to organize though and hindsight is 20/20. So, try as I would, I think when it came down to it I wouldn't have been able to rally an alliance against you guys. It would have most likely taken me going on an immunity run to come anywhere close without our alliance.

As for my juror ranking,
1) Chase: Chase rocked the social game while not appearing fake or superficial. Great at challenges too. Had this been a real survivor season, he'd fit the hero eliminated right before the final TC edit perfectly.
2) Jefra: Like I said in my opening statement, biggest threat. Lovable and dedicated beyond belief. I only rank her below Chase because I think Chase was able to hide his threat status better, which is important.
3) Christa: Strategic and, from what I know, always well positioned in the game. You set the Jefra boot into motion too. If we randomly played this season over and over, I think you'd consistently be someone who makes it very far.
4) Woo: I actually do not know much about Woo's game, so this is partially speculative. However, Woo expressed to me knowing that he was at the bottom and wanting to change that before the retribing. That shows great perception and initiative.
5) Morgan: Morgan overcame huge odds to make it to where she did. I think she worked extremely hard to do so and I respect that. Had it not been for a slow start combined with the tribing, I think she could have done more maneuvering and made it further.
6) Shawna: Having to be taken out immediately at the merge because of being a huge threat, I don't think Shawna really got a chance to shine. I think she was on a good position on originalMukwa, but seems to have put a lot of trust on Tracy, which just didn't work our for most people.
7) John: I feel bad ranking John last because I don't think he played bad at all. I don't have great insight into his game but it seems that he played much more UTR/complacently than others, and trusted too much in the wrong people too. Easy mistake to make if you're in a dominant tribe though.

Now, for who I would take off the jury, not trying to be a suck-up, but it would be difficult for me to pick. I would have to go with Shawna though, just because she was the lowest ranking in terms of placement. Just seems it would be the most fair way to choose, however, just to clarify Shawna on jury>>>>Tyson on jury.

Tracy: Why do you think people felt so betrayed by you?

That's a question I asked myself too, Christa, so thank you for the question. I have been thinking about the fact why Eddie is so loved on the jury and I am so hated, while we played similar games. I couldn't find a source of negativity, but I think multiple factors weigh into this. First of all, I put every single one of you jurors on the jury. Eddie didn't have to do that, Eddie only had the blood of four people on his hands. He didn't have to vote Woo out, he didn't have to vote Morgan out, he didn't have to vote Chase out. And two of those were my biggest allies in the game, something Eddie never had to do/

Another factor that probably played with the fact that people feel so betrayed by me is that I seemingly played "heartless". I wanted to seperate social game and strategic game in this game. This is something I didn't really succeed in. I think I made too much social contact with people I knew I had to vote out. That's why people might view me as "heartless" and "cold blood".

Both of you: If you had to remove a juror, who would it be and why? Also, rank the jury's gameplay from best to worst and explain why.

I'm gonna do my ranking first and then pick someone, that is a tricky question though. Beware that I am basing my ranking of GAMEPLAY not of likeability or any other factor.

1) Chase: Chase seemed really down-to-earth and were really loyal. If I'd ever right an advertisement for an "WANTED: Allies" advertisement you'd be the picture with it. I don't even think people can be that mad at you, as I heard no people talking bad about you. 

2) Christa: You could adapt in every tribe you would come in and you knew when to make the move. I think you set social and strategic game aside perfectly and would have been a tough person to beat at the end.

3) Jefra: You were extremely likeable & fun to be around, but that's what bit you in the ass later on. Maybe you didn't realize you were that big of a threat, but I think you could have done a better job hiding that. That is the only flaw you made in this game.

4) Shawna: I lost track of you when you went to Ahmick, girl. That has ultimately been your downfall and the fact that you didn't come to talk to me at your boot tribal council. That was went the alarm bells went of with me, I thought I was dead to you. Had you come to talk to me, I would have really wanted to go big with you, honestly. I didn't like people targeting you over Tyson and I think you would have deserved to make it a lot further in this game, you just didn't make the contact with me when you needed to. 

5) Morgan: Morgan, Morgan, Morgan. I must say I wouldn't think you made it this far in the game and I must say I didn't think I would have liked you that much. I really liked the thing the thing we had going on and I think you worked really hard to get that target of your back.

6) John: Like you said in your jury speech, it felt like you didn't put your soul into this game. Like you didn't have the time to do all the social interacting. I still don't know what your gameplay really was, except for leaning on people you knew from the past.

7) Woo: I respect you as a person and you were really likeable, Woo. But I honestly think you floated around for about whole the game. And then when you suddenly needed me at your boot, you asked for my help. I had loyalties elsewhere, I couldn't go with you. You started playing this game far too late.


That being said, I think I would remove Woo from the jury, cause I don't think he's done that much during the game, unlike the other people in the game.
