Stephen's Statements

[Stephen Fishbach]

First of all, I want to congratulate each of you for reaching the final 3. You fought hard to get here, and I respect that. My question for each of you is two parts. 1) Tell me why you played a harder game and deserve the money more than the two people sitting next to you, and 2) Compare each of the final 3, and all 9 jury members to a Survivor contestant (not the one they are currently playing), based on gameplay and other criteria. That is all

[Amanda Kimmel]

To clear up any confusion, I can say this: I let Stephen replace Monica if he wanted to. He took me up on it

Hey Stephen dude. Congratz on making it to be part of the jury!

1) Tell me why you played a harder game and deserve the money more than the two people sitting next to you,

I deserve it more because of the other two contestants, I played the most well-rounded game. Sierra's game consisted of many lies, lies I know she told me to my face after I had been honest with her ( such as when Steph left) and lies I know she spewed to Steph and Brett. Sierra's big mouth has also negatively impacted her game, she revealed secrets that people trusted her to keep to herself, such as certain players's identities and Rob's hidden immunity Idol.

Sierra also blabbed about all her rewards, diminishing their effectiveness and forcing her to waste them more quickly. Sierra even tells her enemies information that can be used against her, such as telling Monica I had warned Sierra that Monica planned to blindside her, putting the target on me when I was trying to help Sierra. Sierra had even spilled her guts about the plan to blindside Steph in the middle of the night while she drunk to jury members, who like they should kept it quiet but could have easily tipped her off.

Whats even more Ironic about Sierra, is she told Amanda about Monica's breaking of the rules, which was the right the thing to do, but:

Monica2:59 pm

gr.




not at you, just in general.












Monica3:01 pm

although, you sorta lucked out, because I likely would have voted for Sierra.

Monica3:02 pm
I don't get why she told Amanda.




i don't blame anyone but myself though



Monica was going to vote her!!!


As for Austin, he has done very little to merit his standing in the F3. If you check his response to both Jimmy and JT, who were trying to dig for some reason to give Austin a vote, he failed to deliver, thats because he really hasn't done much. Austin had no influence on the merge, he alligned himself with Jimmy who was totally on the outside, wasting his vote changer to try and save him, only alienating himself even further. Austin's vote made no difference in Brett, Monica or Steph leaving the game, he was in no way instrumental in much of the strategy for those power players leaving at all. Despite Sierra's many faults that I pointed out, she did mastermind Steph leaving and was vital in Brett and Monica leaving too. Austin could have gone at any time, and his being in the finals is simply because he never won immunities, had no real allies and was no threat.



I made it to the finals because I played the social game, many players trusted me, Steph, Brett, Sierra and Boston Rob, which was why he was so surprised when I voted him over Austin. I was very honest this game and remained loyal to my main allies Brett, Steph and Sierra, even though Sierra was against Brett and Steph, so in a way I was playing both sides against each other. HOWEVER I never voted for Steph, Brett or Sierra to leave the game at any point, I remained true to them. I kept the target off my back and it fell onto the bigger targets, such as when I targetted Monica after I heard Sierra turned her against me. I also won 2 individual immunity challenges.

I don't think I really played the BEST game of everyone here, but I played a better one than Sierra and Austin, and thats what counts

[John Carroll]

Wow, I was really confused by this lol

[Fabio Birza]

2) Compare each of the final 3, and all 9 jury members to a Survivor contestant (not the one they are currently playing), based on gameplay and other criteria. That is all




Darrah:




Although Sierra disagrees in the rights of passage I think Darrah has qualities that resemble Parvati. Shes got the flirtation, the kindness and the viciousness that embodies Parvati as a survivor.

John:




John is kind of like Gabriel from survivor marquesas, a chilled out dude who didn't worry too much about the drama of the game, a go with the flow kinda guy.



JT:




JT is like Sandra, underestimated and totally bad ass, she will chew you up and spit you out, dont be messin with Tara bitches! and when makes the end of the game she will win everytime.

Jimmy:





Jimmy is like Rob C from Amazon, the ultimate trouble maker and pot stirer.


Brett:





Brett was a lot like James, everyone loved him and he was the most powerful player in Survivor China with 2 hidden immunities, but got blindsided before he could use them!

Stephen:






OH... wait a minute he never played Survivor....





Stephen is the most like Silas, a dominant player who was taken out early before the merge.

Steph:





She is a lot like Jane, determined, loyal and full of heart.


Boston Rob:



Like Ozzy, he found himself to be an underdog early in the merge after Brett left, and dominated immunity challenges and made strategic plays to stay alive.


Sierra:





Carolina was the first one voted off Survivor Tocantins because she was annoying and would never shut up. Hmm, I think did happen when Sierra played in Japan too, first one off.

Austin:





Hey, Dan is a nice guy, but cant win individual immunity to save his life and has no strategic game.



Fabio:






I think I played the game a lot like Ethan, a little under the radar, made some friends, stayed true to my allies, won a couple immunties and hopefully...............wins the whole thing.

[Austin Carty]

Okay I'm gonna respond when I get home, but I can't let this utter bullshit Fabio is spewing about me stand.

For the record, for Jimmy's vote I used my vote changer to save myself from getting a vote. I could care less about Jimmy when I heard he was throwing me under the bus. Also, the comparisons Fabio has drawn (particularly about me) are fairly skewed and incorrect. I'll offer my interpretations later, but I have had much more connection and strength in my opinion than Dan. This shows how little Fabio really knew

[Jimmy Johnson]

again, Austin dear. I never threw you under the bus get your facts straight boy

[Stephen Fishbach]

Thank you Fabio. I'm satisfied with your response

No doubt... I don't even know what to say

[Sierra Reed]

Yeah I too am kinda getting sick of this Fabio. I've been trying to be nice and just let you do your thing and not try toooo hard to defend but you're just throwing us both under the bus, trying to make us look bad to make yourself look better.

I really think you should focus more on what YOU did, and not just run a smear campaign against both of us. Not to mention most of the stuff you're saying is false.


Like for instance I never went to Amanda with that convo to get Monica expelled, that's just pure fiction.

And there are several other statements in there too that aren't true, or are semi-true at best, as per usual so far with your answers here, but I'm just gonna leave it alone. You were getting the votes coming into this, to begin with... so, I really don't think that all this is necessary...

But I don't want to bicker and shit because I had in mind a much more stand up FTC.

[Sierra Reed]

Oh and I will answer your questions soon Stephen!!!! Welcome to the jury and big gratz!!!! I'm sooooooo glad you're here instead of Monica

[Fabio Birza]

All I know is somehow Monica's chat got into Amanda's hands, and the only person I copied and pasted it too was you. It was actually a noble thing to do, its just that it may have lost Monica from the jury for you.

It is true u went to Monica right after I warned you saying:

" sierra reed (10:08:36 PM): thnx for telling fabio everything and trying to blindisde me",,

which Monica cornered me with, and that pissed me off because I was trying to give you the heads up,, probably the only time I cursed at you during the game. I don't believe you intentionally were trying to screw me, it was just an lapse of judgement at the time, but I thought thats why Monica went after me. But thats what I was talking about in my statement

I did focus on what I did also, but Stephen asked us to explain why I played a harder game and deserved more than the other two finalists, so thats what I did.
