How did you outwit, outlast, and outplay everyone on the jury?
Curses, you knew that the short and simple questions are often the hardest to answer. I do not think that I deserve tro be sitting here more than anyone on the jury. Everyone played a wonderful game, and I am sure there was a good deal of luck in me being allowed to remain in the game. However, that does not answer your question, so I hope that this does.
I contributed to the win of multiple tribal immunities, and won several individual immunities. I was able to protect myself through the use of two HIIs that I earned through password puzzles (which I don't consider outwitting anyone, but I think of it as outplaying). In addition, two of the immunity challenges that I did not win were not due to a lack of my effort or ability, but rather due to my being a target, and other players being able to eliminate me. Although, I suppose in that sense, I was outplayed in those challenges. I think the only way that I could say I outwitted anyone is that I forged an alliance with Mexico early on, which no one heard about from me, and was based upon the agreement of two honorable, strong competitors working together to reach the end. As far as outlasting goes, all I can say is that I'm here. I did my best, in order to match the level of my fellow competitors, and strained to get that extra edge. If you would like anything expanded upon, or think I didn't answer part of your question, please let me know and I will try to clarify.

How did you outwit, outlast, and outplay everyone on the jury? - Wow, Ok I'm gonna answer all of this with the explanation of my entire game. I was always a determined player,challenge-wise, socially and strategically: *Challenge-wise, in tribe challenges I always tried to find a way to contribute, whether it was big or small, that it had an effect in our team's performance. Individually, I always made an effort, whether or not I actually won was different, but I was a contender. *Socially, I tried to make conversation with everyone or at least the people in my team, whether it was a simple "hello", or talk about the vote, or some sort of alliance. I think in this game it's important to build relationships with the people you play the game with, I think I did that (I'm not saying I'm best buds with everyone lol I'm just sayin' I like to talk) *Strategically, I knew coming in that I wanted to be seen as a strong player, but not to the point where I would be considered a threat. I think I did achieve that. From what I would talk to people, my name wasn't really brought up to be voted off in TC, until maybe Final 4 (China's vote for me). I remained under the radar as much as I could for certain rounds, but also be seen as a contender in others, just to let people know that you know, I was here and I was playing the game  I was also able to build a fantastic alliance with Russia, who I knew since the beginning of the game, and I knew was a great player as well and that we would have each other's back till' the end, which is why we're both sitting here tonight. Thanks Egypt for your questions. Good luck with your decision |
