Episode 13 Survivor Holidays Valentines Day
Day 37
First thing after Jenne woke up she had this to say:
So now I am looking at sitting in the final 4 with three true friends. This is a good thing and a bad thing. Depending on immunity, Taylor or Mikey will go next. Gracie and I have yet to make up our mind on that one. We have gone back and forth. But the two of us will not turn on each other, leaving the two guys on opposing ends. At this point it is safe to say that Gracie and I will be in the f3 which ensures at least one of us will be in the f2. If either of us win the final challenge, the two of us will be sitting in the hot seat together facing the jury which would be the closure to this game that I needed. If it is Taylor who wins the final challenge I believe he will take me to the f2. Mikey I am not so sure of though I have an inkling Gracie may tell him to take me. Mikey will take whoever he thinks he could beat though. At this point though, I have a great shot of making the final two. Winning may be a lot harder than I expected. I know I should win this game. it may seem really pompous and conceited but I feel I have controlled this game from start to finish and if things are to end as they should, I will be the winner of this game. I know juries however and they don’t necessarily see things objectively and of course neither do I. But I was never in danger in this game since I turned the first vote around and have chosen the boot or at least approved of the boot EVERY single time. Every person I have voted for has gone. I think sitting next to Gracie will be interesting because we did play this game together and were so similar in our strategies it will be tough for the jury to chose between the two us, especially because we pissed off the same people. They will be so pissed off that they HAVE to vote for one of the two of us. I want to win but I can live with Gracie winning. It should be an interesting final tribal council. I am just hoping to be in the f2 and not on the jury. I have gone over in my head what to say at the final tribal council and never once has my thoughts been what my jury question would be. If I do find myself on the jury I will be completely unprepared because this entire game I have been preparing to face the jury I chose and work my magic with words and persuasion to compel the jury to vote for me as the winner of survivor holidays. Cross your fingers for me wouldja?
Over in her cabin Gracie was sharing her thoughts:
Well, we did it. We are the Final Four. It's been a long trip from there to here and there were definite times I didn't think we'd made intact - but we did. No matter how the final vote goes, I don't mind losing to any of these people. In fact, after Kelley left, I didn't mind any of the people in the game winning.
As he paused on his morning jog, Lucas had this to say:
This was our pre-destined course. They won't like it but it was. I knew early on we had what it took to win. Too many of these people wanted it but they wanted to do it the easy way. Well fuck 'em. You need to do the work. You have to get in the trenches and get dirty. You need to cut throats and get blood on your hands. That's how it's done.
As for the people left. Taylor is toast. No question. He needs immunity. Nothing else is saving his ass now. He's kissed up to the jury and let us be the bad guys. Not on my watch. You set yourself up so you can't be beaten which just creates an atmosphere where they want to beat you. Idiot boy.
It's me and my girls. Nothing is gonna stand in our way. We're a regular wrecking ball.
At breakfast, the tree mail was waiting for the final four. Taylor read it:
"Time to put on your thinking cap Answer the most to widen the gap. Get them all right And you will win the fight. It's getting time to get down to three, A loss here and going home you may be."
Rob and Karen awaited the castaways as they made their way to the beach for the next to last immunity challenge.
Karen:
Final 4! We never said it would be easy. You will find your final two challenges to be somewhat difficult and interesting. We'll see if you really have what it takes to outplay your competitors.
This challenge is all about trivia. Before you, you will find 50 trivia questions...yes I did say 50...relating to Valentine's Day. Now before you freak out on us, we don't expect you to answer every question. Just do the best you can.
Now this challenge will be done a bit different. Since there are so many questions, you are being allowed to take the sheets back to camp and work on them. This afternoon just before dinner Rob will come collect them and we at that time will declare the winner. Survivors ready? Go!
All of the remaining four went back to camp and started working on their answers. As Gracie sat working on her answers, Lucas walked up:
Lucas: how goes the battle? Gracie: <sigh> Gracie: some questions have more than one answer Lucas: which ones? Gracie: color of roses Lucas: thats the only one? (are you done otherwise?) Gracie: I *think* I'm done Gracie: how about you? Gracie: I just put all the information down .. let her decide Gracie: lol Gracie: also Lucas: i did all mine Gracie: the record for the longest kiss answer varies Lucas: (1-25) Gracie: cool

Taylor walks out of the cabin and leaves Jenne sitting there. She yells behind him Jenne: were you planning on giving me the ones you got there buddy? Jenne: you can not just take my answers and not give me some back HELLO! Jenne: thats not how this works

Walking into Jenne’s cabin, we can see Gracie has a grumpy look on her face:
Gracie: *grumble* at Taylor Jenne: what he do now? Gracie: shit Gracie: now he's being sweet Gracie: damn him Gracie: he wanted all my answers Jenne: he apologized for not sharing with me Gracie: and wouldn't give any in return Jenne: fuck him Gracie: and then he says this: Gracie: Taylor: what do we do if he wins Taylor: are you guys going to stick together and get rid of me?

Jenne: he totally did that to me on purpose Jenne: and is playing it off now Gracie: yep cause I got tired of him taking all my answers
As the tribe of four sat down for dinner, Rob came and collected the answer sheets. While they dined, Rob and Karen sat at a table across from them checking the answers. Finally, Karen stood up:
You all did a fantastic job on this challenge. You did much better than we anticipated. Here are the results...
Gracie - 50 points
Jenne - 49 points
Lucas - 49 points
Taylor - 44 points

As tribal council approaches, Taylor finds Gracie to talk again. However the chat evolves into a heated talked:
Taylor: miss final 3 Taylor: I hope I can become mr. Gracie: I hate this Gracie: I don't want anyone to leave Gracie: how upset will you be if you're the one voted out? Gracie: I think everyone is afraid to face you at f2 Taylor: umm considering ellie told me the jury likes lucas the best Taylor: and umm I would be very pissed since we agreed on lucas at the merge Taylor: just like we agreed we would all be the final 4 Taylor: well the three of us agreed we would be the final 3 Taylor: so I would hope that would be honored Gracie: the problem is ... no matter who gets voted out .. you or Lucas .. you'll both be mad Taylor: that's to bad Jenne you and I all agreed Taylor: we've strung him along for so long Taylor: and I would vote for him over the both of you if you voted me off tonight Gracie: wow Gracie: that's not really fair Taylor: it's not Taylor: would it be fair to go back on a promise that was made weeks ago that we would be the final three Gracie: I don't know .. would you like to ask kelley, steve, annette, kyle, and ellie the same thing? Gracie: we all broke promises WE all made to them Taylor: I know this Taylor: but we didn't sit in a room together with them and say " we're the final three" Taylor: and promise to vote out the other member of our four at the final four Taylor: now would we? Taylor: I hate to piss you off, but I don't know why your doing this to me Gracie: I'm not trying to do anything to you Gracie: you out of everyone should know that's NOT how I operate Taylor: I have been nothing but honest with you the whole time Gracie Taylor: I know that Taylor: and I know your honest Taylor: but I would like a straight answer here, are you voting for me tonight? Gracie: I have no idea tay Gracie: right now I'm tempted to make you all face a purple rock Taylor: why? Gracie: because both you and Lucas are laying the guilt on me pretty damn thick Gracie: and honestly Gracie: i don't deserve that Taylor: you know we don't have purple rock don't you Taylor: it Taylor: it's* past votes Taylor: and Lucas had a few more than me Gracie: the other thing I'm tempted to do Gracie: is roll a dice in chat Gracie: and make you both pick numbers Gracie: I don't do guilt well Taylor: I'm not trying to upset you Taylor: not put guilt on you Taylor: that Gracie: this is a HARD vote Taylor: 's not what I'm doing Taylor: we made a deal at the jamie vote Taylor: that you were fully behind Taylor: if I had won immunity I would have no doubts that you Jenne and I would be the final three Taylor: and would have voted for him over you in a heart beat Taylor: I like you and I respect you Taylor: but this is upsetting to say the least Gracie: <sigh> it would have been easier if you had won Taylor: can you see where I Gracie: definitely Taylor: am coming from* Gracie: but what I still think about too .. is how you've been telling me is no way I can beat you at f2 Gracie: and Gracie: I know you would take Jenne over me to f2 Gracie: and htat's okay Taylor: and lucas wouldn't? Gracie: its what I would expect you to do Taylor: and Gracie Taylor: You have to know I was joking when I was like Taylor: " well I'll beat everyone in the final two." Taylor: after the ellie fasico you guys were probably beat me Gracie: I knew you were ... but it was also something to think about Gracie: but Gracie: you also know me well enough Gracie: that winning isn't the most important thing to me Gracie: granted Gracie: I'd like to win Gracie: but it's not the most important thing Taylor: and it's not to me either, I want to, but the most important thing to me was holding up my word to everyone in this game Taylor: which I have done to expect for one person , and that was tony Taylor: and it was for the advancedment of the alliance Taylor: and I would have to hope that the rest of my alliance members would have the same curtesoy Taylor: Just look at it this way. Lucas is the jury favorite for some odd reason, you know this as well as I do Taylor: you have a much lesser chance of winning with lucas /you/jenne final 3 than you do with a taylor/jenne/you final 3 Taylor: let's face it, I suck at the challenges Taylor: and lucas almost beat you Taylor: this time Taylor: and he's won twice Gracie: I still don't know how I won .. or we didn't have a tie Taylor: because you beat him Gracie: I don't know taylor ... I'm mighy confused about everything Gracie: and I haven't had a chance to talk with Jenne at all hardly Taylor: I can asure you Jenne will want to keep me, I don't mean to sound cocky, but we were talking about it last night Gracie: 'cause it's been obvious for a while that you and lucas would vote for each other Gracie: what'd jenne say? Taylor: I asked her if the plan was a go for lucas Taylor: and she said " isn't that what it's always been." Taylor: I will say this, you can't expect people not to be upset with you if this is how you vote them out every time Gracie: what do you mean? Gracie: by talking honestly? Taylor: no Taylor: by making allainces that you aren't sure you can keep and then the day of tribal council saying that you don't know if it can work and that you aren't sure Gracie: fuck taylor Gracie: how the hell do you think we got this far Gracie: we HAD to make people think they were safe until they couldn't do anything else Taylor: We got far because we trusted each other, we formed a coehsieve group Gracie: that was a small part Gracie: the others had to think we weren't a danger to them Gracie: and the only way to do that Gracie: was to let them think they were safe Taylor: well if this is my " let them think he was safe moment" you've done a good job Gracie: and for you to insinuate Gracie: that that's how I'm treating you is offensive Taylor: well it is Gracie: no its not Taylor: yes it is Gracie: and hasn't been how I've dealt with ANY of you Gracie: you know me better than that Taylor: Gracie Gracie: I've got to go Taylor: vote for me if you feel you have to Taylor: but I have been nothing but honest with you since day 1, and I feel like I've been lied to right now Taylor: that may be a strong reaction and I know I'm not winning any points with you Taylor: but I honestly don Taylor: 't care Gracie: bbr Gracie: taylor Gracie: i have not lied to you Gracie: not once Gracie: and Gracie: when the fuck did I get to be so powerful to decide who gets voted out tonight Gracie: and fuck you for trying to make me responsible Taylor: because you have imunnity Gracie Taylor: you have immunity in the final four Taylor: that's power Gracie: there are TWO more votes besides mine Gracie: actually THREE Gracie: *duh* Taylor: and I'm not saying you've lied to me? What were the first two weeks of the game Gracie: I didn't want ANYONE to know Gracie: NO ONE Taylor: but you told Jenne and Lucas Gracie: and when I signed up to play this game Gracie: I didn't even know anyone else i knew was playing Gracie: and Lucas knew Taylor: Neither did I Gracie: because I had mentioned in passing that I had made a promise Gracie: and THEN he told me he was plaing Gracie: and then LUCAS told Lis and Jenne Gracie: I never told them Gracie: I finally told Jenne Gracie: that I had to tell you Gracie: so don't lay that on me Taylor: then why do you want to keep some one who has outted you about five times now to different people around Taylor: I'm not getting the logic here Taylor: I'm not laying this on you Gracie, but I just don't apperecaite you saying " Would you be upset if you left tonight?" to me when we made an agreement , the three of us , that two of us are keeping, to vote off lucas at the final four Gracie: well guess Gracie: guess what* Gracie: I said the same thing to lucas Gracie: and to jenne Gracie: you weren't special Taylor: I don't feel special ,but I hate that I've pissed you off, and I hate that I'm mad Gracie, but it just hurts that you would think of getting rid of me before the final three when we made a deal Gracie: well i hate the fact that i've lied to so many people that are on the jury that they DESPISE me Gracie: I hate the fact that no matter who the fuck gets voted out tonight Gracie: will also DESPISE me Gracie: I hate the fact that I"m hurting someone I care about Gracie: I hate the fact that someone I care about is gonig to DESPISE me Gracie: no matter which way I go Gracie: I hurt someone Gracie: someone hates me Gracie: WHAT is it you'd like me to DO Taylor: It's your vote , I'm not going to be selfish, I would just like to know the truth Gracie, what has been going on this whole game, because I guess I'm out of the loop Taylor: I didn't mean to get upset with you Taylor: but just put yourself in my shoes Gracie: <sigh> the thing is taylor .. I understand Gracie: 'cause I DO put myself in your shoes Gracie: that's what people don't get about me Gracie: I *FEEL* what I vote Gracie: never think this is easy Taylor: I know it isn't easy Taylor: it's not easy for me tonight Gracie: I will never be kamiyan Gracie: the long-lasting affect of Camp Hell is still with me Gracie: I don't forget Taylor: YOu know what Gracie: hey Gracie: what?

He ran straight to Jenne and tried to stir things up:
Taylor: I hope you know what Gracie is up to Jenne: what does that mean? Taylor: she came up to me this afternoon and said would you be mad if I voted for you Jenne: that doesnt surprise me, she is closer to mikey then she is to you Jenne: but thats a weird way of approaching the subject with you Taylor: so is it me tonight? Jenne: taylor i have gone back and forth Jenne: and Gracie and i have talked about it a lot Jenne: because how am i supposed to chose between my two best friends in the survivor land? Taylor: I understand Taylor: I just wish you guys wouldn't have agreed to a final three with me Taylor: if this was going to happen Jenne: its not like anyone knew what would happen Taylor: so it is me? Jenne: i had a final 3 with you adn kyle too Jenne: its you Taylor: why? Taylor: I want you to look at me Taylor: and tell me why in the hell you are backstabbing me Taylor: why have you lead me on Jenne: *takes taylor's hand and looks you directly in the eye* Taylor: you could have told me last night Jenne: no matter what decision i made i would be backstabbing someone Taylor: i don't give a fuck Taylor: tell me why Jenne: and i always planning on going to the final 2 with you Taylor: then why are you voting for me Jenne: but things changed in this game along the way Taylor: why Taylor: what happened Taylor: why Taylor: what did I do Jenne: taylor you didnt do anything wrong Taylor: TELL ME Jenne: but if you want to know why , i am closer to mikey than i am to you Jenne: strategically i shouldnt vote for you Taylor: So you screw me over when I'm out of town Taylor: and now you do it here Taylor: great way to treat a friend Taylor: you nor Gracie will get my vote in the finale Taylor: congrats Jenne: taylor please dont be like this Taylor: HOW WOULD YOU FEEL JENNE Jenne: i would feel hurt Jenne: and betrayed Jenne: and upset Jenne: just like you Taylor: Well I'm voting for you tonight Taylor: then Jenne: i thought you might say that Taylor: if you couldn't have the respect to tell me that that it will not happen Taylor: that I won't make the final two Taylor: I don't deserve this Jenne: what do you deserve? Jenne: what does mikey deserve? Taylor: I should have been told before had Taylor: hand* Jenne: what do any of us deserve? Taylor: I'm not Kyle or Annette Jenne: this is survivor, and someone goes Taylor: I'm Taylor Taylor: someone you've known for two fucking years Jenne: you are being told beforehand Jenne: this isnt a decision that was made a long time ago Taylor: 3 hours is before hand Taylor: well I hope you have fun playing your game and being honest Jenne: Gracie and i talked last night Taylor: no wonder the jury hates you Jenne: they hate me because i outplayed them Taylor: no Taylor: they hate you because you do this shit to them Jenne: vote them out? Taylor: honestly I never want to talk with you again after this Jenne: that makes me really sad taylor Taylor: well then you shouldn't have told me that it was the plan all along last night Jenne: but if you want to throw a friendship away over a survivor game, then you never were my freind to begin with Taylor: make an alliance with me at the jamie vote to go to the final three Jenne: chris voted michelle out at this point in the first season Taylor: but you could have told me Taylor: before hand Jenne: i am! Jenne: we didnt decide till we talked earlier Taylor: 3 FUCKING HOURS ISN"T BEFORE HAND Taylor: you could have done something Jenne: this is a game Taylor: forget it Taylor: bye jenne Taylor storms off Jenne: bye taylor

Later as they prepared for TC, Jenne and Lucas spoke about how Taylor had been acting:
Jenne: so taylor isnt my friend anymore now Lucas: he's gone off on Gracie too Lucas: she's saying she'ds going to give up immunity Jenne: im not letting her quit Jenne: cause taylor is being an ass Lucas: thats what i said Lucas: she's just rewarding his behaviour Lucas: and if he treats her like that he's not a friend Jenne: thats what i said Jenne: to him Jenne: if you dont want to be my friend, then you never were Lucas: there is definately bitteness in his voice Lucas: I am not impressed with how he's making my Gracie feel Lucas: and now how he's making my jenne feel Lucas: (she's invisible btw) Jenne: he's talking to me now Jenne: thing is, if we had voted you off, you never would have ended our friendship over that Jenne: ultimately, i want to be in the end with you over him because you have always been a better friend Lucas: *hugs* Lucas: you gonna be ok though? Jenne: i feel like i am going to throw up Lucas: *bug hugs* Lucas: *big Jenne: well my dear, if we should find ourselves the f2, you are the winner of this game! Lucas: I am not so confident Lucas: I know anythign could happen Jenne: you'll win Lucas: not over til its over Jenne: i can barely breath Jenne: im like hyperventilating or something Lucas: deep breaths! Jenne: i can not ever do this again EVER Jenne: my heart and soul and body can not stand it Jenne: how people play these things all the time i will never know Lucas: i know its just a game Lucas: others....i dunno why Jenne: its more than that Lucas: they always get mad Jenne: they do Lucas: i think you need a thick skin Jenne: do they have transplants for that?

Lucas: you too jennebears!
Then Jenne had a chance to talk to Gracie about Taylor:
Jenne: taylor isnt my friend anymore apparently Jenne: and neither of us are getting his vote at the end Gracie: that's what he told me too Jenne: *shrugs* Jenne: i'm losing friends left and right in this game Jenne: and i just dont give a fuck anymore Jenne: i was his friend when he voted me out Jenne: a friend worth having doesnt abondon the friendship on a lark Jenne: but this whole thing sux butt Gracie: here's what I'm doing Jenne: i have to run and pick kid up. will you be here in a lil? Gracie: I"m giving up immunity Gracie: you 3 vote me out Jenne: what?

Gracie: *grin* and besides Gracie: taylor will have to vote for one of us in the end Gracie: <sigh> the jury will love the fact that someone in our own alliance hates us Gracie: taylor isn't talking to me at all Jenne: i am sure Jenne: i guess i made him cry Gracie: well .. he made me cry Jenne: awwww Jenne: Gracie! *hugs* Jenne: i wont let him Jenne: i meant it when i said i wasnt letting anyone else make me cry Gracie: I thought I meant it Gracie: guess I didn't figure on my friends doing this Jenne: he's gonna say something harsh at TC tonight Jenne: he just warned me Gracie: taylor?

Jenne had this to say:
Its that time again….So Ellie left as expected, scatching and clawing the whole way out. I knew I liked her! In the end though, she went out dignified and with class. Ellie just rox! So that left my core four as the final 4. You know I thought I would be happier and more excited about it but it was not as satisfying as I had expected. This is what I wanted all along and I would not change anything that happened in this game but having people not like me really does hurt. I have always thrived and prided myself on being a well-liked and well-respected member of society. So to come into a game as that person and leave the evil, vile, despised person is a real shock to my system. I had to have an emotional detachment to make it through this game otherwise I would have broken downa nd been voted out long ago. I had to separate somewhat from my actions. Though I still do not think I did anything wrong within the confines of the game of survivor. In the real world, I would never behave how I have. I did lie to and manuplulate people, that is the game of survivor. At least every season I have watched on TV previously has been like that. Getting to the final four was a huge accomplishment, on e I take pride in. Though my heart is aching and my soul feels tarnished, I would not change a thing. Gracie and I made a choice to take Mikey to the final 3 with us over Taylor. The decision for me was based entirely on friendship and had nothing to do with strategy. Mikey has simply been a better friend over the years so I chose to keep him over Taylor. Taylor was very hurt and I expected that. He told me he didn’t want to be my friend after this game was over. That stung. After everyone else throwing his or her friendship with me away over a game, I never expected Taylor to follow in that path. Frankly it hurt me that he cared so little about me that he was willing to throw it all away. But you know I almost did it to him to so I understood at some level. I think Taylor is an emotional person, as am I, and once he thought about it he realized that this game was not gonna tear us apart. We have a lot of healing to do, he cried and I cried, but I think Taylor and Jenne will be ok when all is said and done. As for my friendships with the rest of the members of the jury, only time will tell. I never set out to be the bad guy. I never said mean things about anyone, never talked shit behind their backs. I never lied unless I had to, to protect the integrity of the game I was attempting to play. So yes I was sneaky and deceptive, but my intentions were never to be vicious or ruthless. I merely played this game to the best of my ability. So yes I controlled everyone, but they let me. They seem to forget that part. They chose to align and trust me and that was their mistake that I exploited. So here I am, final three with Gracie and mikey. Two individuals I love, respect, and adore. Both of whom will likely take me to the f2. I have been planning for these last moments for so long and frankly it surprises me that this game has gone to plan because that never happens in survivor. But here I am, this close * holds up two fingers* to being in the final two with either mikey or Gracie and I am not even that happy about it. I want to finish this game and win it but my enthusiasm and spirit has waned over time. Now I just want to finish what I started and never play this game again.
The survivors made their way into tribal council and took their seats. Karen: *TRIBAL COUNCIL BEGINS NOW* Taylor: eek Lucas: *nods* Karen: And here enters our jury…<br>Karen: Kyle walks in wearing a shirt that reads "A Pre-formed alliance is not Survivor" as he glares at Taylor and tosses him his Holidays 2 buff. Karen: Kelley, Steve, Annette, and Ellie all follow him in, and they all take their seats in the jury area. Taylor: How did he get that? Taylor: I kept that in look in key at home Karen: Welcome Tribe Orleans to tribal council #15. Karen: You made it to the Final 4…congratulations to you all on such a fine game played. The final four is one of the landmarks in the game of Survivor. Gracie: weeha Karen: Gracie, Jenne, Lucas, and Taylor…you are the four that survived all others to make it here. Karen: Only 4 of you left tonight and soon to be down to 3. One of you will be joining the jury tonight. Taylor: This is so despressing Karen: As always, I will begin by asking you each a question. When you are finished with your response, please say "done" so I know you are finished. Karen: Jenne could not be here tonight but has left her answer and vote in advance. Karen: Jenne... Karen: With only three choices (really only 2 choices since one person has immunity), how do you decide who to vote for? Karen: Her answer…<br>Karen: With only 2 choices, as I can not vote for Gracie nor am I voting for myself, it is very difficult to decide who to vote for. Especially because both Lucas and Taylor are dear friends of mine. Is this how Sophie felt? Karen: Cause honestly these are two men who I love and care for on a very intimate level. But this is not the first vote where I have been forced to chose between friends. Karen: Lucas and Taylor have been very clear that it is one or the other tonight and that ultimately the choice lay in Gracie and my hands. That is a huge responsibility, one I am not necessarily comfortable making. Karen: This game has been much harder than I had expected and I have been put in situations I do not enjoy but I am not a quitter and I came here to play the game of Survivor, a game which requires decisive decisions and actions. Karen: To be quite honest I have wrestled with this decision, gone back and forth, and discussed the situation with Gracie at length. Karen: Ultimately, I am going with the desicion that Gracie and I agreed on, a decision that was based on what my heart told me to do rather than what strategy told me to, the same decision I made when I chose to vote out Kyle over Lucas. Karen: I started this game all strategy but I am leaving it with all heart. Thank you. Karen: done Karen: thanks jenne Karen: Lucas... Karen: Who in the jury, if any, should have gotten to stay longer in the game and why? Lucas: All five were very good players in their own right. I can make a case for any of them deserving to go further. (more) Lucas: Kelley was a lot more bright and observant then she has gotten credit for at times. Lucas: Steve was one of nicest most decent guys in this game and who doesn;t want to see people like that go further? Lucas: Annette was one of the strongest people I've ever seen to lay this game. She could have won this all by herself. Lucas: Kyle is sort of ditto. A very strong player and a threat to win immunity. Lucas: And Ellie really impressed me. She played a hard game when she put her mind to it. I think a lot of people underestimated her and unwisely. Lucas: They were all good players. I respect them all and the game they played. They all could have gone further and I would think they deserved it. Lucas: done. Karen: thanks lucas Karen: Taylor... Karen: Who did you envision as the final 4 at merge time? Is there anything at this particular moment that you feel you need to say, or you feel the jury needs to know? Taylor: Heh, very good question for me tonight Taylor: I know I'm going in about 10 minutes , and I guess I'm fine with that Taylor: I expected to come in here and be really mad Taylor: and I really was for hours Taylor: I was backstabbed today just as much as the jury was Taylor: I was told that I would make the final three with Gracie and Jenne, we made a handshake on it, and since this is my last whorah I think I need to set something straight with the Kyle vote Taylor: Lucas, before I left town the vote was going to be you, we knew what had happened with you and jamie a few days before, and your arrogant comments ( or atleast I think arrogant , not to sure now after what's happened today) were gra Taylor: grating on the girl's nerves, you were set to go home that night, everything was in order, and honestly I was happy, I liked you had all but at that point I was fed up with dealing with you and you running to ellie and or jamie in t Taylor: he past, but they had a change of heart while I was out of town, and switched the vote at the last minute, so on my part it was never malious towards you Kyle Taylor: But Today my views on the other three remaining took a 180 Taylor: Lucas you were the only one not willing to make bonds and promises that you knew you couldn't keep Taylor: for the ladies on the other hand I can't say that's true Taylor: not that I fault them, they are playing a game Taylor: but they over did it, they overplayed their emontions and people felt to safe Taylor: and where their time was up, like mine is now they were very hurt Taylor: and it's no surprise why the jury isn't in love with the two of you Taylor: And kyle, I didn't find out who Gracie and Lucas really were until the tony vote Taylor: so our alliance wasn't prearranged, but we hooked up at the start Taylor: so here we are the final four Taylor: and these are the people at the merge that I thought would be the final four Taylor: we were mean, conniving , and sometimes vicious, we've made our beds tonight, and I know this sounds so corny, but we are laying in them Taylor: done Karen: thanks taylor Karen: Gracie... Karen: Congratulations on immunity. Unless you give it away, you have secured a spot in the final 3. Is there anyone you did not want to see win immunity? Gracie: Absolutely not. I would have been thrilled for any of the other three to have won. Gracie: In fact, to that end Gracie: I helped them Gracie: and gave them answers Lucas: *nods* Gracie: So if Taylor had won I would have happy and thrilled for him. Gracie: If Lucas had won I would have been happy and thrilled for him. Taylor: Just as I was happy and thrilled for you. Gracie: If Jenne had won Gracie: I would have been thrilled for her Gracie: done Karen: thanks gracie Karen: Gracie…As the immunity winner, you have the option of keeping immunity for yourself or giving it up to one of your tribemates. Please state now whether you wish to keep it or give it away. Gracie: I came here tonight fully prepared to give it away Gracie: I didn't even care to who Gracie: but Gracie: having been ripped to shreds all day Gracie: I'm keeping it Karen: OK…Gracie has immunity, so you cannot vote for her. Everyone else is vulnerable. Karen: With that said, it's time to vote! Karen: When I call your name, please go to the voting urn and write down your vote AND reason. Karen: Lucas Karen: Taylor Karen: Gracie Taylor: God with only four of us these things take a long time Karen: I'll go tally the votes…Once the votes are read, the decision is final and the person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.

I'll read the votes…First vote... Karen: TAYLOR Karen: Second vote... Karen: LUCAS Karen: Third vote... Karen: TAYLOR Karen: Fourth vote... Karen: TAYLOR Karen: TAYLOR, the tribe has spoken. *snuffs torch* Taylor: Bye guys Karen: The rest of you can head back to camp. Gracie: *hugs Taylor* Gracie: if you let me Karen: *END OF TRIBAL COUNCIL* Taylor: good luck, wow, already been blocked Taylor: I don't need a hug Taylor has left the council area.
How they voted and why:
GRACIE: Taylor. I hope that our friendship is stronger than a game. That will be up to you.
JENNE: My vote tonight is for Taylor. You know I do not take any pleasure in this decision nor am I confidant it is the right choice. I have issues with things Mikey has done in this game and I have issues with things you have done in this game. I love you both but my heart wants Mikey here. Besides, now we can each say we voted the other out 4th. Sorry Tay, but tonight your number is up. *blows kiss*
LUCAS: This was not a a game we were going to hand over gift wrapped to you. Get over it.
TAYLOR: Lucas- My vote is for you tonight, Unless the gods have changed their mind I know I'm leaving, so good luck on the rest of the way.
Taylor’s final words:
Well that was fun wasn't it? Basically being told that you are the worst friend out of four friends. Being lied to, and people backstabbing you, so much fun sometimes I forget to laugh. Now there are only three assholes left, who will win? I really don't care. They all deserve each other though.
Leaving tonight, I only leave this game with respect toward one person left in it. Jenne, at least she had the courage and the balls to tell me I was leaving tonight, and not try to hide it and apear scared and nervous, and then blame me for treating her badly. Gracie is laughable at best, the reason she is so wishy washy is that she doesn't know who Gracie is, yet she hates being herself. It's kind of crazy like that.
Lucas, Lucas, Mikey, whatever you chose to go by next week. You hid behind this false idenity the whole time, and didn't tell me until the Tony vote, which is hurtful since I was about three seconds away from voting you off. You don't deserve to be where you are right now, you haven't played anywhere well enough to get to the final three, and it sucks that you are there.
All and all it was fun, I just wish it didn't have to come down to what it came down to in the end.

Day 38
Lucas shared these thoughts the first thing next morning:
I have to say...I think I might just have this in the bag. Jenne and Gracie are playing with their hearts and I think that means they will take me because they are closer to me then each other. They must know that against each other they stand the best chance but...I really think there is little chance I will not be in the final two.
The bigger question is who will I take if I win immunity? I am seriously leaning to Gracie. She has a tendency, and I don't know why, to make things worse for herself. I think I can win against her in a landslide. Jenne would be more apologetic and more likely to win them over Still...they pissed off the girls team. In theory I have three votes all locked up. It could be interesting to say the least.
If I win I won't feel like I stole anything.
The final three chatted about things over breakfast:
Lucas: i think Lucas: and this is just a hunch Jenne: oh yah congratulations on f3 kiddies! Lucas: the jury MOIGHT hate us Jenne: REALLY? Gracie: *gasp* Gracie: say it ain't so Jenne: i thought that was just Gracie and I Jenne: somehow the least trusted guy all game is lookn good to em now! Jenne: *giggles* Lucas: i set the bar low Gracie: lol Jenne: lmao Gracie: jenn Jenne: gooood start Gracie: right before tc tonight Gracie: taylor ims me Gracie: and asks if we can make the tc so you 3 duke it out basically Gracie: and then tells tenz Gracie: that it was my idea Lucas: I know Lucas: trying to get it so pass votes might come into play Jenne: but i wasn't even there Gracie: that's what i told him Jenne: what would i have been able to do for myself? Gracie: you weren't there Gracie: and taylor was basically counting on past votes anyway Gracie: which would have been lucas Lucas: there's no way it could be a tie Gracie: and after tc Gracie: taylor ims me Jenne: i'm surprised he voted for you mikey Jenne: he told me he was voting for me Gracie: to ask me if i will keep him informed of everything Jenne: exuse me? Lucas: he's still trying to be the jury's hero Jenne: what the hell does that mean? Gracie: I think he was baiting me Lucas: what the ic is Gracie: if I told him anything Lucas: how it goes Lucas: all the dirt Gracie: he'd tell Karen that I was talking tothe jury Jenne: brat!

Jenne: taylor played in the 2nd season of holidays Jenne: his bio matched perfectly his tonga bio Gracie: yep Jenne: kyle put two and two together Jenne: and asked taylor about it Jenne: and for some reason he felt the need to lie about it Jenne: why i have no idea Jenne: kyle came to me bout it, to check up on taylor i guess Jenne: and i lied to cover for taylor's lie Jenne: WHICH I HATE DOING Gracie: well Gracie: I enjoyed tonight hearing all about how Taylor had the power to vote me out a few times Jenne: i dont see how Gracie: quite honestly Gracie: neither do I Lucas: swing vote my ass Jenne: mikey were you ok that we almost voted you out? Jenne: i thought you kinda already knew Lucas: thats not how it was told to me Lucas: so it stung Gracie: I told you that Jenne and I couldn't do it Jenne: i think that was taylor's intentions Jenne: i asked Gracie if you knew, so we could tell you about it. and she said she thought you already knew Jenne: assumptions Jenne: we were going to in theory Gracie: it was right after I found out you told jamie who I was Gracie: and I got mad Jenne: but neither Gracie nor I could do it in practice Gracie: and then got over it Gracie: and I couldn't vote you out anyway Lucas: no--she already knew. I just confrimed Lucas: I want that clear Gracie: *nods* I understand that now Jenne: lol, clear Lucas: good Gracie: do you hate me too now? Lucas: I never hated anyone Jenne: no more hating of anyone Lucas: except Mitch Jenne: thats over Gracie: there's a club to join. membership dues and everything Jenne: we have a mature f3 Jenne: THANK GOD Gracie: I don't think you could afford the dues to join my hate club anyway *giggle* Jenne: you didnt hear?

Lucas: i bet taylor's having LOADS of fun Jenne: im inthe Gracie's fan club personally Gracie: aw .. *pays Jenne* Jenne: oh god, taylor is gonna be bombarded Gracie: I'm in both your fan clubs Jenne: either they are gonna hate all over him Jenne: or pump him for info Jenne: or both Gracie: when he imd me Gracie: he said the jury hates ALL of us Gracie: and that it was scary there Jenne: lmao Lucas: has there ever been a jury where they loved the final 2/3/4 Lucas: like, ever?

Jenne: Gracie and i needed a break Gracie: heck yeah Gracie: and for the record of all involved Lucas: you know if they had friends they'd use them too Gracie: no matter what happens at f3 Gracie: I'm okay with it Gracie: and I agree Tenz Jenne: you know what i found out tonight though? Jenne: taylor knew i had applied Jenne: and thats why he applied to this game Gracie: how'd he know? Jenne: i never knew that Jenne: CHRIS, who else? Gracie: <sigh> Lucas: chris is such a blabbermouth Gracie: I'm NOT stepping foot near all stars Gracie: what ya'll do is up to you Gracie: <-- NO Jenne: i thought we all entered this game innocently Jenne: not knowing bout the others Jenne: but oh well Gracie: I only knew about tenz about 3 days before the game started Jenne: ellie said she wasnt either, and me two Jenne: that means of the 5 invited from our season, only two will acccept?

Jenne: O:-) Lucas: they could have voted out ME and JENNE out first Lucas: they didn't Gracie: exactly Gracie: you BOTH were slated to go first Gracie: and yes Gracie: yet* Gracie: here you are Jenne: *nods* Gracie: you both played a great game Jenne: they had their chance...and they blew it Jenne: and are kicking themselves all the way to the voting booth where they make one of us the winner Jenne: *snickers* Jenne: as did you my dear Gracie: Gracie: thank you sweets Lucas: *high fives all around* Gracie: *high fives* Jenne: *group hug* Jenne: ^5 2 you both Gracie: Taylor couldn't understand at all why we wouldn't vote you out tenz Gracie: and THIS is why Gracie: we love you Lucas: my beautiful hazel eyes Gracie: hmmmm Gracie: and for all taylor's talk of alliances and promises Gracie: he was ready at any moment to vote out lucas Jenne: yep Lucas: i had his back at all times Jenne: i had to tell taylor that though Jenne: he asked why Lucas: I never had him in sites Lucas: until he went after me Jenne: and i had to tell him mikey was a better friend and i was closer to him Jenne: which i know hurt him to hear Jenne: but he asked Gracie: taylor was pissed as everything at me when we vote out ashlee Lucas: what??

Gracie: *grin* Jenne: *snarls teeth* Jenne: i'm embracing this new role Gracie: our f2 tc should be quite the trip Gracie: I think we should bring drinks Gracie: *giggle* Gracie: offer some to the jury Gracie: but now Gracie: my sweets Gracie: I must go Gracie: check treemail At each cabin is a copy of the next tree mail: "Fast fingers here is what you desire, Be the first one done and keep your fire. Victory here will give you the chance To take you to the final dance. Defeat means you have a 1 in 2 shot Of ending the night not feeling so hot." Your last tree mail. Your last challenge. The final 3 make their way onto challenge beach. Rob and Karen await them as the are about to embark on the most important challenge of the game. Karen: yay! Karen: we're all here Jenne: I be here! Gracie: good luck everyone! Jenne: *cheers* Lucas: Gracie wants it to be an Everquest challenge Karen: First of all I want to say Yay! I'm so glad Rob could be here with us tonight! Gracie: hell yes! Jenne: whats everquest? Gracie: *gasp* Jenne: *hugs rob* Rob: *hugs my eye candy* Lucas: *hugs rob* Karen: OK…let's begin. Lucas: oh wait Lucas: damn Gracie: *hugs Rob* Gracie: lol Karen: Congratulations Gracie, Jenne, and Lucas! Gracie: yay! Karen: Welcome to your final immunity challenge! Karen: This is the whammy of all Survivor Holidays challenges…if you win this challenge, you will have earned your spot in the final 2. Karen: This challenge is a race. I will explain the directions and answer any questions, and then the race will begin. Gracie: eeeeeeeeeek Karen: First, all 3 of you must put up your away messages at this time. I will wait until you all have them up before I explain further. Karen: OK…thank you everyone. Karen: Having your away message up during this challenge serves several purposes. First, you will not be disturbed by anyone on AIM and second, I also know that you are not helping each other. Karen: (and I am monitoring your other sn's as well) ;-) Gracie: lmao Rob: LMAOOOOOOOOOOO Karen: I will be monitoring your screen names during the challenge. If at any time you turn your away message off or if you go on invisible mode…<br>Gracie: hosty is toooooooooooooo smart Karen: you will be disqualified and automatically lose this race. ***The only exception is if the instructions you find in the race tell you to do so.*** Karen: Please listen to all directions CAREFULLY because they will NOT be explained again once the race starts. Karen: Because your away message will be up the entire time, you cannot ask the hosts or the other players again later. Karen: So make sure you have all of your questions answered before you begin. The instructions in the race itself are very self-explanatory. Karen: OK…let me explain how this challenge works. When I say GO, I will give you a link. Click on that link to begin the race. Karen: Follow the instructions on that page and continue to do so until you reach the end. Karen: For those of you who have never played an online race before, I will give a brief description here of how it works. Karen: You will be solving mini-challenges. You will be given a URL with a blank at the bottom of each page that will look like this: survivorholidays4.tripod.com/______ ___________.html Karen: You will solve the mini-challenge, and the answer will go in the blank. Karen: That new link is the link to your next mini-challenge or information screen. Karen: It is not set up for you to be able to click on the link, so you will have to type it into your web browser in order for you to find the next page with the next mini-challenge. Karen: There are a total of 6 mini-challenges that you must complete before you get to a screen giving you additional directions. Karen: Are there any questions so far? Gracie: yes Lucas: no Karen: ok go ahead gracie Gracie: when we get to the first page Gracie: we do something that gives us something to put in the actual next link? Karen: yes Karen: the first link will be your first mini-challenge Gracie: will it be obvious WHERE we put the something? Karen: you will solve the challenge and the answer goes in the blank Karen: yes Karen: lol Gracie: I didn't see a blank Karen: you will on the page Gracie: ah .. okay Jenne: *hands Gracie her glasses* Karen: any more questions so far? Gracie: *cleans off glasses* Rob: howling with laughter Jenne: im good Lucas: nope Gracie: I'm okay Jenne: good luck my luvs! Karen: OK...more information… Gracie: *pokes rob with a stick* Rob: OUCH Karen: Here are 3 things that are very IMPORTANT you need to remember. Write it down if you must! These 3 things concern the answer that goes in the blank. Karen: 1. The letters that will go in the blank are case sensitive. There are no capital letters…all letters are LOWERCASE. Karen: 2. There is no punctuation or spaces at all in the blank. Karen: 3. If the answer consists of more than one word, then type all of the words together with no spaces. For example, if the answer was Survivor Holidays, then you would type survivorholidays. Karen: Same with numbers…if the answer was 5, 10, 15, 20, then you would type 5101520. Karen: One last thing… When I say "GO", I will give you the first link to go to. But you may want to take a moment and either memorize it or write it down because again you won't be able to ask us later. Karen: You should not need it again but in case you accidentally close your browser or something, you'll need to know the address to go to. Karen: You are welcome to keep this chat open if you like during the challenge, but you are not to discuss anything with each other about the challenge until it is over. Karen: If you have a specific question you need to ask me during the race, you can do it here in the chat, but everything in the race has been pre-screened for correctness and works with no glitches. Karen: OK, well that's it for the rules. Does anyone have any final questions before we start? Gracie: yes Karen: ok go ahead... Gracie: can you just GIVE me the win? *giggle* Karen: uh sorry no lol Gracie: drats Gracie: then I'm good Karen: any more questions? Karen: lucas or jenne? Jenne: *puts on serious face* im ready! Lucas: i don't think so Karen: Here we go…this is for immunity! The biggest and most important immunity of all! Karen: no pressure...lol Jenne: Karen: Survivors ready? Karen: GO!! survivorholidays4.tripod.com/startline. Html The race begins as all three work hard on the challenge. One of them takes a commanding lead and begins to pull away. Finally the winner crosses the finish line, way ahead of the other two.

Karen: is everyone back? Lucas: i am here Gracie: <sigh> Karen: waiting on jenne Jenne: here Gracie: congrat lucas Karen: wb everyone Jenne: wow! you were fast! Rob: congrats lucas Gracie: I suck Lucas: *frowns Karen: congrats lucas on winning immunity! Karen: how far did you girls get? Lucas: I won the first and the last...weird Gracie: lol Jenne: he he Gracie: damn pictures Jenne: *hugs mikey* Jenne: that got me too! Karen: did you get past them? Gracie: nope Gracie: stuck there Karen: the answer was 108...10 in the first pic and 8 in the second pic Lucas: the freckles count as TWO Jenne: ooooh Karen: OK...live tribal council will be held later today Karen: Lucas, you are guaranteed a spot in the final 2. Karen: Gracie and Jenne... Lucas: evisceration here I come! Karen: Each of you will have an opportunity to plead your case to Lucas as to why you should get the other seat in the final 2. Jenne: no using big words! Rob: hee hee Gracie: *takes away his dictionary* Karen: you guys can head back to camp
Jenne is sad as she says:
Well so Gracie and I won't get to sit next to one another in the final tribal council. I am disappointed but honestly I am totally ok with Mikey winning. He earned his place and he will very likely be the winner of this game. He can take Gracie or he can take me and I will love him no matter what. It would be nice to be in that final 2 after everything i have gone through in this game but I want Gracie there as much as I want myself there. I trust Mikey to make the decision that is right for him. I will not begrudge him one iota if he takes Gracie. I am a lil disappointed but we both knew the risk of taking Mikey to the final 3 would be him winning the final challenge. We could have beat Taylor at that I am almost positive but I would not change a thing in this game. I have found peace with myself and am ready for whatever is in store.
For being the winner and assuring himself of a final two spot, Lucas sure doesn’t seem happy: I won. Yay?
Pardon me while I go out back and shoot myself.
I have no idea what I'm going to say or do. But I knew I had to win this. If anyone is going to be the bad guy...it might as well be me. I always said I lived for the role...and now I get to realize it.
Gracie also is a bit down as she says:
I HATE PUZZLES. I'm no good at them. None at all.
I'm happy for Lucas though .. I really am. I just so wanted a Jenne/Gracie final 2. That's the part that sucks.
I let Jenne down. This game has been wild. Starting from day one. And I wouldn't change a thing
The final three made their way into what for Gracie or Jenne would be their last tribal council as a player in the game.
Gracie: <-- still writing Karen: hello everyone me too Rob: stop talking to me and write then Rob: ;-) Rob: lol Karen: it's ok...you can finish later Karen: *TRIBAL COUNCIL WILL BEGIN NOW* Karen: And here enters our jury…Annette walks in wearing a shirt that reads "VOAB" on it. Kelley, Steve, Kyle, Ellie, and Taylor all follow her in, and they all take their seats in the jury area. Gracie: this should be good Karen: Welcome Tribe Orleans to tribal council #16. Lucas: voab? huh? Jenne: i dungetit Gracie: lol Gracie: me either Karen: Unfortunately one of you will be leaving the game tonight and will join the jury to complete the 7-member jury who will decide on the winner of this game. Rob: vote out a bitch? Gracie: vote out a bitch? Gracie: lol Gracie: yeah Jenne: got to be Karen: Things will be done a little differently tonight. I will not be asking you questions. Gracie: woot Karen: Lucas has won immunity and is guaranteed a spot in the final 2. Karen: Gracie and Jenne will not vote because their votes cancel each other out. Gracie: *giggle* Gracie: would lucas like to give it up? Jenne: *snorts* Jenne: be serious! Karen: Lucas has the deciding vote tonight of who will be voted out and who will remain to take the other seat in the final 2. Karen: Gracie and Jenne, you each have a turn to plead your case to Lucas as to why you should not be voted out tonight. Karen: Gracie, you will go first. Please say "done" when finished. Gracie: Lucas Gracie: you know I love you Gracie: you know I love Jenne Gracie: and whatever you decide .. I will still love you both Gracie: done Karen: thanks gracie Karen: Jenne, your turn. Please say "done" when finished. Jenne: mikey, i know this is the one thing you dreaded the most in this game Jenne: having to chose between your girls Jenne: we both love you, that is why you are here with us today Jenne: and we will both love you tomorrow Jenne: take whoever you want. i honestly feel we both deserve to sit next to you. do what is best for you Jenne: done Karen: thanks jenne Karen: Lucas… Would you like to say anything before the vote? Lucas: Yes Lucas: This is a tough decision and I have gone over it all day in case I won. I like to say it was easy... Lucas: but it never was. Lucas: I love you both with all my hearts. Gracie: aw Lucas: And I ultimately had to decide this with strategy. Lucas: Because if i got into worth and deserving Lucas: I would never be able to decide Lucas: And I will still feel like a jerk afterwards Lucas: done Karen: OK…With that said, it's time to vote! Karen: Lucas, please approach the urn and write down your vote AND reason. Remember, you're voting someone out…NOT who you want to stay. Jenne: *takes gracie's hand* Gracie: *holds Jenne's hand* Karen: I'll go get the vote… Lucas: *cries* Gracie: *hands over tissue* Jenne: we love you mikey, no matter what! Gracie: no hard feelings here Jenne: *holds mikey's hand too* Gracie: *takes mikey's other hand* Jenne: love fest at f3! Gracie: woot! Karen: When the vote is read, the decision is final and the person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. Gracie: *gets out mah walking shoes* Karen: I'll read the vote…The deciding vote…JENNE Karen: JENNE, the tribe has spoken. *snuffs torch* Gracie: omg Jenne: *giant hug for mikey* Karen: Congratulations to Gracie and Lucas, our final 2!! You can head back to camp. Jenne: *giant hug for Gracie* Karen: *END OF TRIBAL COUNCIL* Jenne: bye you two! Gracie: *hugs Jenne tight* Karen: OK before you go…I need to talk to the final 2. Lucas: *hugs jenne so hard* Jenne has left the council area.

Why Lucas voted for Jenne:
LUCAS: This is tough. But in the last few days an issue has arised that I can not ignore. At the final tribal council we are likely to be eviscerated because of our lies...And my indentity is a huge issue. I think it could be a deciding issue. So with regrets...I must vote out...Jenne. I hate this. I love you so much. But I think this is best strategically.
Jenne’s final words:
Well here I am. Ms. Badass herself sitting on the Jury. Who wouldathunkit? Not me that's for sure. I have a lot of mixed emotions right now. Both disappointment and relief. I knew taking Mikey over Taylor was a risk but honestly I made the right decision even if it landed me here. You can't play a game without any heart or you will lose your soul. Mikey was my heart and he has my love forever. Gracie is still my girl though and I will be campaigning like all hell to get her this win! Take care kiddies!
Day 39
The sun rose over the ocean on the last day anyone would spend here at the resort. Our final two made their way to the pool for one last breakfast.
Gracie: wow Gracie: *hugs you* Gracie: are you okay? Lucas: shaking Lucas: but better Gracie: *hugs you* Lucas: I had to decide strategically Lucas: I could never do it based on you two as people Gracie: want to share? Lucas: memories? Gracie: memories is strategic? Lucas: lol Lucas: i just--the indentities is a huge issue Lucas: and...jenne didn't have one Lucas: she was always herself Gracie: *nods* Lucas: and while I didn't want to see you torn apart either Gracie: that's the only reason why I could think you would take me Gracie: lol Gracie: its OKAY Gracie: I was ready to see my name Lucas: i know Lucas: but i still want to feel like i suck Gracie: okay you suck Gracie: you meanie Gracie: lol Gracie: what the hell was voab? Lucas: no idea Lucas: it had no impact Gracie: none Gracie: except to make us laugh Lucas: endearing us even more Gracie: LOL Gracie: and ya know Gracie: the jury can tear into me all they want Gracie: the fact remains Gracie: I wasn't mean to them Gracie: I wasn't cruel to them. Gracie: and with the sense I have about how I am with people Gracie: if I can live with myself Gracie: I'm okay Gracie: know what I mean? Lucas: yes Lucas: I still think you might win Gracie: lol Gracie: NOT Gracie: you have taylor's vote Gracie: in fact Gracie: it may be a shut out against me Lucas: i hope not Gracie: eh Lucas: I want it to be 4-3 Gracie: it won't be Lucas: becuse thats what it SHOULD be Gracie: ellie, taylor, kyle, steve, annette and kelley will ALL vote you easily Gracie: Jenne will hurt over who to vote for Gracie: but I think she'll give it to you Lucas: i think you will get kyle Lucas: steve and annette are iffy Gracie: lol Gracie: did you see kyle stare at me during the tc's? Lucas: kyle despises me even more Lucas: yes Lucas: but he never liked me Lucas: i'm not sure he can accept that fact Gracie: he will before he will give his vote to me Lucas: we'll see Lucas: but don't bet money on me Gracie: *grin* heck I'm not betting on either of us winning Gracie: they may vote for lisa Gracie: *giggle* Lucas: they may vote for someone from another game Gracie: LOL Gracie: I talked to karen for a few minutes before the challenge Gracie: she said the jury is HOT Gracie: but Gracie: she also said Gracie: that I wasn't mean or cruel to them Gracie: so it helped me ~ inside ~ knowing that Lucas: i think it will be unusually ugly Lucas: if taylor's remotely close to approaching the facts Gracie: well .. taylor basically hates me Gracie: so ... Gracie: he told me he would vote for you over either jenne or I no matter what Lucas: we'll see Lucas: I'm not banking on anything Gracie: but Lucas: two words: Gracie: CONGRATULATIONS LUCAS! Lucas: jenna morasca Gracie: seriously ... even though I was sure you would vote me out Gracie: I was happy that you won Lucas: I was torn up all day Gracie: I know Lucas: it ate at me all day Gracie: I told Jenne this was a HARD thing for you to decide Lucas: i had different reasons all day for you and for her Lucas: I wasn't sure what the hell i would ever do Lucas: I almost threw it Gracie: I wondered if you would Gracie: and then figured Gracie: you would be upset with yourself if you did Lucas: I said something similar Lucas: "i always said I wanted to be the bad guy" Lucas: "and I'm just doing that to spades now" Gracie: nah Lucas: very negative final confessional Gracie: *hugs* Gracie: mine was really short Gracie: basically said Lucas: "i'm doomed" Gracie: love em' both Gracie: and whatever happens Gracie: I'm happy with the game I played Gracie: *hugs* Gracie: I know this was tough on you Lucas: its the only tough vote i ever cast Lucas: every other one was easy Gracie: the good thing here Gracie: is you know neither of us would be upset Lucas: one friend on the jury Lucas: yay? Gracie: LOL Lucas: six people looking to tear us a new one Gracie: *checks ass for room for new hole* Lucas: check for six Gracie: hmmm Gracie: only room for 4 Gracie: damn Gracie: two people have to think of something else to do Gracie: *giggle* Lucas: if nothing else Lucas: you can say one thing Lucas: you never got a single vote Gracie: ooh Gracie: that's right Gracie: lol Lucas: and i got...a lot Lucas: lol Gracie: how many did you end up with? Lucas: 8? Gracie: wow Gracie: I didn't realize that Lucas: Rami and Ryan Lucas: half of that was them Lucas: oh wait Lucas: Taylor cast two as well Gracie: fuck him then Gracie: *grin*
At that time Karen and Rob appeared at the breakfast table. Good morning you two and congrats on final two, Karen said. At this time you will both make your way thru the palm forest and as you walk you will encounter each person’s torch that played this game. Please both of you linger at each torch and give your thoughts on that person and their role in this game. Again congrats and thanks for playing. As Gracie and Lucas arose, Rob shook the hand of Lucas and gave Gracie a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Lucas looked at Gracie, took her hand and away they walked.

Post by Host Rob on Jul 2, 2005 12:54:01 GMT -5
The first torch the got to was Lisa’s
Lucas: LISA - I really don't know what to say about Lisa. We talked once. She was gone before I could get to know her. She wasn't bad or particulary deserving to go first. It's just what happened.
Gracie:
*looks at Lisa's torch*
I hardly knew you, Lisa. You were nice enough to help me make my avatar and I appreciated that.
I'm glad you were here and that I got to meet you
The next torch was Mitch’s:
Lucas: MITCH - I can say this much about him. He knew I was a threat. The first one. And that's the best thing I can say about him.
Gracie:
*stares sternly at Mitch's torch*
You started out a nice guy and I really liked talking with you. I wish you had been that guy I first knew.
The third torch they happened upon was Stephanie’s Lucas:
STEPHANIE - She fooled me. She fooled a lot of people. More then we suspected. Perhaps more then we'll ever know.
Gracie: *looks passively at the torch and starts to laugh*
Can't get down on ya for having an alias.
Next was Ashlee’s torch
Lucas
ASHLEE - I would have liked to have seen her go to the end. She likes playing a big game though and I can't fault her for being ambitious. She never changes and I would never want her to.
Gracie:
*looks fondly and sad at Lis' torch*
Lis ... <sigh> You were supposed to be here at the end with me. All your scheming caught up to you again. Good luck.
*kisses my finger and places it on her torch*
As they made the turn in the path there was Lil Steven’s torch
Lucas:
LITTLE STEVEN - He was in a bit over his head. But he outlasted four others and that says a lot.
Gracie:
Who? Were you here? Next time try to at least figure who is in your game and maybe not play 13 games at once!
Now as they got closer to the end it became harder and more emotional Lucas when he saw Tony’s torch
TONY - Never should have gone. I was going to try my damndest not to backstab people. I think he got a raw deal.
Gracie: I enjoyed meeting you and talking with you. Good luck.
The next torch belonged to Rami Lucas:
RAMI - Wow. What to say? He was one of the first people out of the gate to make some plays. He dived right in and I love that. I admire anyone who doesn't just sit idly by.
Gracie: *sighs at his torch*
Rami, I wish you had believed me about Mitch and not run directly back and tell all the information you were given. Still, I enjoyed knowing you.
Next was Ryan’s snuffed torch
Lucas:
RYAN - I'm not sure what I think of Ryan. I don't think we had the best relationship and probably never will. But he did go out with class and dignity. And I didn't expect that of his character. I was very impressed.
Gracie:
Well, I didn't know you hardly. So good luck
When they got near Jamie’s torch, Lucas paused:
JAMIE - She knows how I feel. I tried to resist but she captivated me. I'm not sure if it's headed anywhere. I don't think she knows either. But if it does...we're going to have a lot of hazel eyed children who talk too fast and ramble. I still think I would have whupped her in a final two.
Gracie: <sigh> Jamie, Jamie, Jamie ... you were a mercy boot. Mikey and you had to be separated. Mikey had to stay so you had to go. You shouldn't have tried to demand your own way the way you did.
Saying that though ... I totally enjoyed working on our challenges together and the hours we spent talking. I hope you and Mikey stay good friends. And you'd better treat him good
The next torch was Kelley’s Lucas:
KELLEY - I never really talked to her much. I do know she had some obstacles to overcome and I'm impressed she got as far as she did. She's a testament to the fact that you never really know where a person wil end up in this game. Nothing is predetermined. Anything can happen. She should be proud of herself.
Gracie:
Kelley ... I'm not sure what to say about you. You went farther in the game than you deserved. Though Survivor isn't about deserving. Others threw themselves in front of your train. I wish you had participated more and that I had gotten to know you better. You can't just show up before a tribal council and ask about the vote, its not nice.
Big Steve’s torch was next Lucas:
BIG STEVE - I loved this guy. I really wish I had taken him further. He earned the right to go further. He made no mistake except making his move at the wrong time. Until then he was playing a flawless game. I always rag on younger players in this game but he was excellent. If I were running a game I'd cast him again in a heartbeat. I don't think he would ever do badly. He’s always going to be stronger then you suspect.
Gracie: *places a flower at the bottom of his torch*
Steve, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you. Every conversation we had was genuine and I hope you know that. I'm sure you're questioning everything about me, I don't blame you. But even if my name was different, I was still ME.
I sincerely wish you all the best
They paused in front of Annette’s torch Lucas:
ANNETTE- I knew on day one she was a player. Some people you just know have what it takes to go far. And she was one of them.
Gracie:
*looks forlornly*
You were my hardest vote. I didn't want to vote you out and yet I needed to.
Out of everyone in this game, you were the person I got to know the most. I talked with you the most.
I'm sure your VOAB was supposed to mean something, but I haven't a clue. But I'm assuming you are bitter and upset also. You can be. Just because my name was different - I wasn't.
Good luck
Nearing the end they came upon Kyle’s torch Lucas:
KYLE - He's a tricky one. I lost a lot of respect him over the course of the game. Still, I think he's a decent enough guy and I think he played as himself. And that's a hard thing to do. I like Kyle on a personal level and I lost sight of that. It's not to my credit that I forgot to seperate him from the game. He also really seemed to like knowing the people in this game and I don't think many people do that.
Gracie: *tears start at Kyle's torch*
Kyle, you played this game hard and with heart. I so enjoyed you and all the time we spent together. Out of all these people, you are someone I would want to continue to be friends with. I don't know how you feel about that, other than apparently you hate on me too.
<sigh> Good luck, Kyle.
Down to the final three torches now. Ellie’s was next.
Lucas:
ELLIE - I know she said she didn't want to do All Stars. The thing is, she could be amazing at it. I just saw a glimmer of it at the end and I knew we had underestimated her abilities. She's really an amazing player. And she was genuinely nice to boot.
Gracie walks by Ellie’s torch without looking or saying anything
Now the hard part of the journey began. First was Taylor’s torch Lucas:
TAYLOR - My man Taylor. He frustrated me so much at the end. What I like though is this will redeem him to people. He can get far in this game and make the big plays. He's not what people write him off as. He was a great player and he became a huge huge threat at the end. And I know nobody but nobody will see that coming!
Gracie:
*Tears flow*
Taylor ... if it was just me making decisions I don't know that you would have been voted out. Unfortunately, I don't make decisions all by myself. And, honestly, you lying about what I said, or actually, what I DIDN'T say right before tribal council sealed your fate for me.
I hope we remain friends. You've been a very good friend to me. I officially hate this game.
And finally the last torch that has been snuffed. In Gracie’s and Lucas’s eyes you can see tears.
Lucas:
JENNE - I still can't believe I voted her out. I'm horrified I voted her out. She really wanted to be here and she did so well. I am so proud of my little strumpet. I could talk for hours about her and I will never ever say a bad thing about her. She didn't know if she could do this and she did.Talking about her makes me so emotional. It gets me right to heart because she's a friend--an amazing friend. I love her so much. I know it's just a game but I cant help but feel that I hurt her and that's something I don't like about myself. Many times I feel like I am not worthy of knowing Jenne Lotz.
Gracie: grabs Jenne's torch and bawls*
Jenneeeeeeeeeee.. I'm so sorry I let you down and didn't win that final challenge. This game was supposed to be me and you at the end. It was the only fitting ending for this game. Me and you babe. Always.
I love you
Finally they found themselves outside of the Tribal Council area. Lucas looked at Gracie and smiled.
Lucas: ready? *holds hands* Gracie: I hope so Gracie: *clutches Lucas's hand* Lucas: good luck
And then they entered the council area for the last time and took their seats.

Karen: *TRIBAL COUNCIL BEGINS NOW* Karen: The jury…Kelley, Steve, Annette, Kyle, Ellie, Taylor, and Jenne…all walk in and take their seats in the jury area. Karen: Hello everyone! Karen: Welcome to the final tribal council of Survivor Holidays 4 - Valentine's Day! Karen: Tonight the jury will have their chance to speak and ask questions of the final 2. The answers they receive will determine how they vote for the winner. Karen: Here are the rules of this chat…please listen carefully! Karen: First of all...we need complete silence from everyone until it is your turn to speak. Karen: Each jury member will have an opportunity to make a statement and/or ask each of the final 2 a question. If they are not here tonight, then I will copy/paste for them. Karen: Once a response has been made to your question, you then only have 2 choices of how to respond. Karen: 1. You say thank you and sit down and take your seat…or… 2. You simply ask for more clarification to the answer. Karen: You may NOT ask a new question or speak back and forth with either of the final 2 without going through me first. Rob: :-D Rob: sorry Karen: I will NOT allow this to turn into any kind of argument or banter back and forth between jury member and final 2…they do not do that on television and we will not do it here. Karen: As always with questions, statements, answers, etc…please say "done" when you are finished so we will know we can proceed. Karen: OK…we'll start by giving each of the final 2 a chance to make their opening statements. Karen: Lucas, please go first. Lucas: Thank you. Karen: *lucas is a slow type so we will have to be patient* Rob: ok just checking Lucas: I know I did things that did not endear me to your hearts at times and I acknowledge that. Lucas: In fact, there were more then a few times when I came very close to going if not for many of the people before me. Kyle: *nods* Lucas: I was always grateful and relieved when people chose to stand by me but I also knew that there would come a time (I hoped) where i would not be able to repay that support in kind. Lucas: I have no interest in pretending I didn't do things. I know I made alliances I didn't honour. I know I lied through my teeth at times. And I sure as heck know I didn't play anything close to a perfect game. Lucas: I think I did some things better then others and some things worse then others. I know it was fortitous that it all sort of balanced out in the end. Lucas: At all times though I played the hardest game I could because I knew if I made it to the end the one thing I didn't want anyone being able to say was that I Ambered it. Lucas: I know what I did and I take full blame and responisbilty for it. I won't shirk it. Lucas: I'll just try to answer your concerns/questions to the best of my ability. Lucas: And I hope I satisfy whatever they may be. Lucas: Thank you, once again. Lucas: (done) Karen: thanks lucas Karen: Gracie, your turn. Gracie: Hello Jury. I'm sure you can't wait to skewer me every which way that pleases you. So let's get to it. Gracie: Starting with the very first tribal council, Jenne and I controlled the vote. Jenne was targeted early for the first vote and I didn't want her voted out. Gracie: I quietly put Lisa's name out for a possibility instead. And Lisa WAS voted out. That set the tone for every single succeeding vote. Gracie: In every tribal council I went to, I always knew who was being voted out and I always voted for the person who was voted out. Gracie: And just because I knew who it was and voted that way, doesn't mean that I *liked* it. There were people that it was extremely difficult to vote out. Gracie: When our tribes merged, the target was supposed to be Kyle. Jamie demanded it. Lucas was too close to Jamie and they needed to be split apart. Voting out Jamie was total strategy. Gracie: regretted voting out Annette when we did. I enjoyed you as a person and as a person and as a player you deserved to go farther in the game than you did. Gracie: You were simply a threat and too good of a player to keep. Gracie: Ellie, I admire you a great deal. You played a terrific game and you went down fighting and you went down with class. Gracie: Part of my strategy coming into this game was to build relationships with everyone. I believe I accomplished that. Gracie: There are qualities about each of the jurors that I admire. My name may have been different, but I'm still me and I still played as me. Gracie: I thrive on connecting with people. I'm a caring and gentle person. Every relationship I made, every conversation I had with all of you was genuine. Gracie: Yes I lied and yes I deceived. Gracie: But I played the game of Survivor and the reality of Survivor is only ONE person wins. In this game, 17 other people LOSE. Gracie: I was always prepared to lose the same I was always prepared to win. Win or Lose, I wanted to have fun and enjoy the people along the way. Gracie: I'm prepared to answer all your questions, comments and concerns with total honesty. Gracie: Thank you. Gracie: (done) Karen: thanks gracie Karen: Now the jury's turn to make statements and ask questions…<br>Karen: Kyle has requested to go first because he has to leave. If no one else minds, I will let Kyle go first. Kyle: Lucas... Kyle: First of all.... Kyle: congratulations on making final 2...as much as i hate to admit it from nothing personal...just because i'm not where you are.. Kyle: you played a great game Kyle: and I have to admit i did enjoy getting to know you though we experienced major bumps along the way Kyle: I have to know, from Ellie down to Lisa...who did you directly and intentionally play to benefit your alliance, who did you play the hardest, and who are you most proud of playing.... Kyle: especially when concerning me at the Jamie TC and Mitch Kyle: done Lucas: To some degree I think I played everyone. Even my friends because I always knew things could happen and I would need options open to me. Lucas: The least were, likely, Kelley, Lisa, and Little Steve because my interactions with them were rather minimal. Lucas: I certainly made a particularly agressive effort with you, Big Steve, Ellie, and (initially) Stephannie Lucas: And I probably did work you the hardest if I had to pick one over all. Lucas: I think we were always sort of circling one another and I knew a big part to my survival relied on keeping you by my side. I did try very hard to make you feel like, if not trust, that at least you could work with me. Lucas: And I do think, as imperfect as it was, I can be satisfied that I acclompished that (but not without help from others) Lucas: In regards to Mitch. He put a friend of mine into a situation that I didn't like and I extremely protective of the people I love and care about. Lucas: And that sent me into overdrive because I wanted her to feel safe and comfortable. I worked everybody. I didn't let up. Lucas: I was completely honest with you when I said I was doing it because of the way he made my friend felt. If there was playing involved it was in regards to the fact that Lucas: you are a conscientious person with an ethical nature. I felt thats how I would convince you it was a good idea to vote out Mitch ahead of inactives. Lucas: Jamie...was a mess. The target shifted. First it was going to be Kelley. And, I believe, I sent you a PM just on that fact. Lucas: Then, because Jamie was (to my eyes at least) in our (Gracie, Jenne, Taylor and I) alliance it shifted to you because it was beleived you spoke of details to Ryan Lucas: Then the target was shifted back to Kelley and Jamie didn't like that. So she went all out to get you out. I spent most of my efforts trying to keep that alliance together Kyle: *looks at watch Lucas: I don't recall talking to you too much after that but if I did it was likely to reaffirm a Kelley vote Lucas: (sorry) Lucas: I was working harder to get you out though and protect Jamie so I didn't really try to play you that much. Lucas: (done) Kyle: so i'm gathing from that that I'm the one you are most proud of playing Kyle: moving right along Kyle: Gracie... Gracie: Yes Kyle: again congratulations to you too Kyle: sorry if i'm rushing but i have to leave in no less than 5 minutes Gracie: tis okay Kyle: When you started gathering a friendship with me....did you know from the very beginning that I was going to be 5th one out of the alliance? Gracie: Yes. Gracie: I knew you would be 5th Gracie: But Gracie: that didn't impact my friendship with you - which was genuine to me. Gracie: (done) Kyle: *narrows eyes thoughtfully Kyle: thank you Gracie: *offers a smile to Kyle* Kyle: *tries to smile back Karen: are you finished kyle Karen: ? Kyle: oh yes...done Kyle: sorry Kyle: and bye to everyone..see you tomorrow Karen: Kelley, you have the first seat on the jury and will go next. Kelley: ok Kyle has left the room. Kelley: Hi Gracie and Lucas...or whatever it is you're calling yourselves these days. ;-) Kelley: LOL Gracie: *smiles* Kelley: Congrats on final two. Kelley: I've expected a Vanuatu style ending ever since Jamie got voted out, so to see a mixed gender final 2 is no surprise at all. Kelley: I'm completely undecided on my vote for several reasons. So I just have a couple of questions to help me make up my mind. Kelley: Gracie... Gracie: Yes .. Kelley: To be honest, I felt the most let down by you of everyone. Had the majority turned against you and tried to vote you out, I would not have sat idly by and let them get rid of you. Kelley: I was perfectly fine voting in the minority when it meant that I was staying true to a friend (i.e. Lisa and Jamie.) Kelley: I would have done the same thing for you, and I guess it just disappoints me that you didn't seem to think of our friendship the same way that I did. Kelley: Lucas... Kelley: Like you said, I never really got the chance to get to know you. Kelley: However, in a way I am appreciative of that. Considering you were also an alias player, I don't have to sit here and wonder whether or not our relationship was genuine because we never really had one. LOL. Kelley: From the looks of things you played the game very well. Kelley: I am impressed that a man made it to the final two after all the girls were lied to and promised a female finish. Kelley: The only downside to seeing you here in my eyes is that I don't have much to judge you on. So this is why I have my questions ready. Kelley: My first is for both of you...just because I am still honestly curious...why exactly was I voted out when I was? Lucas: I'll go first? Kelley: please Lucas: For me...it had nothing more to do then with the fact that you weren't in the alliance and the rest wanted you gone first. Lucas: They main strike against you to us was that you were seen as inactive. Lucas: But I didn't really need a reason aside from not being in the alliance. Lucas: (done) Kelley: ok thank you Kelley: Gracie? Gracie: Simply you were voted out because you were inactive and weren't around. Kelley: alright Gracie: (done) Kelley: one more question and then I'm done Kelley: You've both admitted doing a lot of dirty and underhanded things. Kelley: Are these representative of your character? Kelley: If yes, why should I respect and reward that behavior? If no...why should I vote for someone who wasn't true to who they really are? Kelley: that's it for me Gracie: I'll go first, if that's okay Kelley: go right ahead Gracie: I played true to myself. Who I was in the game is who I am. Gracie: I lied. Gracie: I schemed. Gracie: I deceived Gracie: But Gracie: I don't think I was mean or cruel to people. Gracie: (done) Kelley: ok Lucas: In the game? Yes. I play to win at all times. Lucas: Outside the game: I would agree that I can be agressive at times or very competitive. Lucas: But I don't manipulate people or go out of my way to jerk people around. Lucas: I think my character in the game definately reflects on me but it's not me it total. Lucas: And you should vote for that because...it worked for me. I wouldn't be sitting here if it didn't. Lucas: (done) Kelley: thanks Lucas Kelley: I just want to clear one thing up... Lucas: yes Kelley: In probably the hardest two week span of my recent life, I still only missed one challenge throughout the course of the entire game. Kelley: I do not apologize for putting my family ahead of online games...and I ask anyone who called me "inactive" if they'd be willing to do the same thing. Kelley: and I am satisfied thanks Karen Karen: thanks Kelley

Karen: Steve...it's your turn...go ahead. Big Steve: thank you karen Big Steve: Gracie and Lucas, congratulations to you both for making it this far. Although I don't admire some of the things you did to achieve your individual goals, I still must decide on who I feel should receive my vote to win this game. Big Steve: I am very undecided and my vote will be soley based on how you answer my question. Answer the question intelligently and honestly, no game-playing. Big Steve: If I feel you are lacking conviction, then you will not receive my vote. I may ask you to elaborate on your answer when you are finished if I do not understand something. Big Steve: Gracie, I will start with you... Big Steve: Why should I vote for you tonight? (direct your answer around our friendship, not in general. I want to know why I should vote for you after you made empty promises. Don't ramble. I want a clear and concise answer.) Gracie: Yes... Gracie: You should vote for me because I was genuine in my friendship with you. The talks we had, I was sincerely interested in you. Gracie: I enjoyed learning about you, your friends, your health, and when you were a hero. Gracie: I shared things about me that I don't often share with people. Gracie: You heard some intimate things from me that are personal. Gracie: That was all because of my friendship with you and what you mean to me. Gracie: Voting you out was pure strategy and was no reflection on our friendship. Gracie: (done) Big Steve: (don't make me cry now) Big Steve: Thank you Gracie Gracie: *smiles at Steve* Big Steve: Lucas, same question, Why should I vote for you tonight? (direct your answer towards me, not in general. I want to know why I should vote for you after you were behind my boot. Don't ramble. I want a clear and concise answer.) Lucas: in regards to friendship like Gracie too? Big Steve: yes Lucas: I remember when you and your family suffered a tragedy. I honestly felt for you. And I told how I felt when I lost my Grandmother. Lucas: That's not a thing I find easy to talk about. But I brought it up to you and how it affected me because I wanted you to know that I could emphasize with what you were dealing with Lucas: Because I did like you and I stopped playing the game to let you know I was willing to listen and be there if need be. Lucas: I never would have done that if I didn't think highly of you and as a friend. Lucas: (done) Karen: anything else steve? Big Steve: Great answer Lucas. Thank you both and congrats. Big Steve: done. Karen: thanks steve Karen: Annette...you're up. Taylor: I can't wait to see the holigram of annette show up Karen: (i'll post her stuff...) Karen: Congratulations to the both of you on making it to the final 2. You did something most of us couldn't do and, for that alone, you deserve a round of applause from all of us. Karen: I had a good time getting to know you both - although I wish I could have gotten to know the real You's! We all had met before but I'm hoping that I can continue to talk to you both after this game is over. Karen: I have a different question for the both of you, so bare with me please. Karen: Gracie... Karen: I was closest to you throughout this entire game so it felt natural for me to get into an alliance with you. It happened quite early - after Mitch left and before the Mrs. Doubtfire incident (Stephanie). Karen: My question to you is - why didn't you choose to honor our alliance, especially since it's come to my knowledge that our alliance occured before the ones you actually honored? Karen: done Gracie: I honored my alliance with Jenne, Taylor and Lucas because I love and adore them. Gracie: I've known then for a while now and I simply couldn't turn my back on them. Gracie: I definitely felt a closeness and bond with you. Gracie: You were the person I had the hardest time voting out. Gracie: It was strategy. You are a strong competitor and GOOD. But my heart broke. Gracie: My alliance knew how difficult voting you out was for me. Gracie: (done) Karen: Lucas... Karen: We talked often and I valued the fact that you were always open and honest with me - at least, that I know of. I'd like you to take a look at the jury - pick 2 people: Karen: 1. that didn't deserve to even make the jury, and 1 that deserves to be in the final 2. Tell me their names - and only their names, not which category they fit into. Karen: done Lucas: Ellie and Kyle Lucas: done Karen: Thanks to the both of you for your honest answers - these as well as the answers to the other jury members will help me in deciding who gets my vote. Thanks - and Good Luck! Karen: done Karen: thanks Annette Karen: Ellie...you're up Ellie: Ok Ellie: First off, congratulations on making the final 2! Ellie: Let me just say that I on a personal level, I like you both and on a game level, I think you both played well. Ellie: So my mind is not made up at all. I'm up in the air. Ellie: My first question is for both of you. Ellie: I'd like a simple yes or no answer and nothing more. Ellie: You can take it any way you please - in a game context or just in life. Ellie: Does the end justify the mean? Gracie: No. Ellie: Lucas? Lucas: yes Ellie: My next question may seem like a "fluff" question but to me, it actually says a lot about how well you got to know everyone. Ellie: Gracie, if each member of the jury was a color, what color would they be and why? (Use a color only once please) Gracie: Taylor = Orange. Because he's a gentle spitfire. Gracie: Jenne = Red. Because she's a lover and passionate. Gracie: Ellie = Green. Because you're into nature and have an "outdoorsy" way about you. Gracie: Steve = White. Because he's pure about who he is and where he is. Gracie: Kelley = Purple. Because she is a mixture of blues and reds. Gracie: mean .. a mixture of human nature Gracie: Annette = Yellow. Because she is warm and inviting. Gracie: Kyle = Pink. Because he is vibrant and friendly. Ellie: Lol, thank you Gracie Ellie: er Gracie Ellie: lol Gracie: *grin* Gracie: yer welcome Ellie: Lucas/Lucas... I reworked the question a little to fit your personality. Ellie: If each member of the jury was a movie, what movie would they be and why? (Again, only use a movie once) Jenne: lmao Taylor: Gotta Love Ellie and her pop culture knowlege- Thinks Taylor from the jury box Lucas: Jenne - Darling ...because she lives life on her own terms and enjoys it to the fullest like the main character Lucas: Taylor - Raging Bull ....because there's a rumbling underneath the quiet Lucas: Ellie - The River ...because she had determination and never gave up Lucas: Kelley - Amelie ...because there's a lot to discover Lucas: Big Steve - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington ....because he's going to do good and always be a good person regardless of the things around him Lucas: Annette - Auntie Mame ...full of life with just the right amount of sass Lucas: Kyle - The 400 Blows ....because that movie wears it emotions on it's sleeve Lucas: done Ellie: Thanks Ellie: I'm done. Taylor: I think Karen is asleep, someone poke her Karen: lol sorry Karen: Taylor...you're up

Taylor: Karen before I begin I have one request, can we change the name of the series from Survivior Holidays 4: Valentine's Day to Survivor Holidays 4: Alias Edition? Gracie: *cracks up* Jenne: *smirks* Karen: lol no...we'll save that for all-stars Taylor: Oh snap, I guess I'll have to start then Taylor: First off I would like give congrants to you two on a well played game... Taylor: congrats* Taylor: If you consider a well played game one full of Cowardice and False hopes. Taylor: You're movie titles and colors were very good for me, as I am about to show my "rage" or "spitfire" Taylor: Your* Taylor: (You'll have to excuse me I'm a little hyper due to some cold medicene) Taylor: I am not overally impressed with either of your game playing skills to be honest Taylor: but hey, you beat me, so what do I have to complain about, well a lot Taylor: I had a hard time tonight deciding what I would say to both of you Taylor: But for one of you you've made it all to either Taylor: clear* Taylor: sorry Taylor: Lucas/Lucas, whatever you're going by tomorrow I'm honestly very ticked off at you right now Taylor: You said when you gave a reply to Kyle's question that you didn't want to play like amber, heh, that's funny because you didn't Taylor: You played worse Taylor: Amber didn't put her alliance in tourble each tribal council she went to like you pretty much did ours Taylor: From the Tony vote, to the Jamie vote I can't say that you played an excellent section of your game right there Taylor: infact if not for me and kyle ( who I presume would be the person you thought should not make the jury, since you are found of ellie ( no knock there ellie) Taylor: You would be gone right now Taylor: You bashed Kyle endlessly, but in the end, He's the one that got you to where you are Taylor: If not for his vote at that curcial part of the game you would have left pre-merge, and you also take credit for my work in securing and playing kyle Taylor: Every time you talked with Kyle, He got more and more angry with you, he hated you, and if not for me he would have switched at the final eight, and we would be sitting where Steve, Annette, Kyle, and Ellie are. Taylor: It was myself mostly, but Gracie and Jenne who got him back under the wing every time you spoke to him, so I wouldn't be proud of the way you played him Taylor: Also, it amazes me, simply amazes my that you made the choice that you did Friday night. Taylor: me* Taylor: Jenne voted off Kyle, who she was very close to. So that you could continue on, she screwed there for the first time. Taylor: Then she votes me out, someone she's known for over two years, probably the hardess thing she's done overall in a survivor game. This or Tonga, she sacrificed herself for you twice Taylor: and how do you repay her, you vote her off in the final three. Taylor: And then tonight say she wasn't worthy of making the final two, the girl the almost ended two friendships so she could save you, and you could move on. Then you get the least bit of power and you go and vote her off<BR Taylor: It's such a shame , it really really is Taylor: Gracie... Taylor: You made a promise I would think to every person in this game that you knew you wouldn't be able to keep Taylor: Even to me, you and Jenne both told me that we would get rid of Lucas at the final 6, but then I leave on vaction, and you two grow a heart and vote kyle off. It was really touching Taylor: You kick me when I'm not able to be here and defend myself and support my choices Taylor: Way back at the Jamie vote, which was another fasico on Lucas's part that I won't even get into because we would be here for 24 hours, we promised each other the final three, Lucas didn't deserve it we said, he's rode coattails and Taylor: put us in danger to many times Taylor: yet my last day here you break that promise and get rid of me Taylor: Over someone who outted you to a non-jury contestant, someone who told you ( at least , this is what you told me) that you wouldn't be here without him Taylor: Gracie, it actually makes me very nervous that you say that the way you played this game was who you really were. Because the Gracie I knew before this game is not Gracie, and I hope she really isn't after this game. Taylor: However you commited the one thing that annoys me the most in Survivor games Taylor: I looked you straight in the Eye (or text) and asked you point blank if it was me, and you lied. You knew, Jenne said you both talked about it the night before, and frankly, that is such a cowards way out it's not even funny, but wh Taylor: what* can I say, you both used alias. At least Jenne and I used our real names. Taylor: Whew* Taylor: *whipes brow Taylor: Glad that's overwith Gracie: *checks ass for new hole* Taylor: Guys, I want you to also know that I'm not bitter at to both you, but I hate the way you both played this game Taylor: Now onto my question Taylor: Lucas you first, if the final five was made up of Gracie, Jenne, Myself, and Jamie, and I won immunity, who would you have voted for? Lucas: Jamie. When the mess at final ten was happening I promised Gracie (and Jenne?) that when the time came I would vote her out. I would have despised it but I would have done it. (more) Lucas: I was with the rest of you first and I would honoured that commitment. Lucas: done Taylor: Thank you Taylor: and Gracie, you told me on my last night here, that you hated being Gracie, so do you like being gracie better? Gracie: No. Gracie: Gracie was simply a "name" for this game. Gracie: I said I hated being Gracie because of the expectations put on me for being "Gracie" Gracie: People who know me .. know that I am a kind and caring person. Gracie: and people who read Okinawa .. expect me to only play one certain way. Gracie: And, I'm more than I was in Okinawa. Taylor: done? Gracie: I feel like being "Gracie", people need me to be this nice unassuming person. Gracie: and be loyal .. just to be lead to my death. Gracie: (done) Taylor: Quick follow up to Gracie Gracie: Yes? Taylor: Gracie you should know that I don't expect you to be the Gracie from Oki, I saw your actions at the twist in Socotra, but I have to ask, if you hate being "Gracie" i.e. yourself, why should I give you my vote? Gracie: You should give me your vote because I played this game hard. Every single tribal council I went to, I knew who was going and voted that way. Gracie: I came through the entire game without a single vote against me. Gracie: (done) Gracie: one additional thing though Gracie: sorry Gracie: I like WHO I am. I simply don't like other's expectations. Gracie: (now really done) Karen: taylor, anything else? Taylor: Thanks guys, I'm not bitter about being voted out, just if you play All-stars or another game, treat others like human beings, because even though you can't see our faces, we really are Taylor: done. Karen: thanks taylor Karen: last but not least... Karen: Jenne...you're up. Jenne: always last, every time, thanks karen! Jenne: Hi you two! Congrats on making it to the end! I have a juicy lil tidbit for you both to nibble on as my gift to you for beating me...apparently there was another alias in this game... Jenne: ...Tony is really Drew from another season of Hoidays. I just thought you might enjoy that on a stressful day such as this. Gracie: *laughs* Jenne: Anyways, I played this game all the way through by your sides and therefore know which of you played this game the hardest and thus earned my vote so I will be asking no questions, merely making statements to each of you. Jenne: You may respond if you feel it is necessary but it is not required as my mind is already made up. Jenne: Mikey...I made a decision to place more value on the friendship that you and I have shared for two years over winning, it cost me the chance to face the jury, and I do not regret that choice one bit. Jenne: you chose the chance of winning this game over our friendship and I hope you feel it was worth it. Jenne: *puter is freezing up, be patient* Jenne: fact of the matter is, the only reason you are sitting in the seat you are today is because Gracie and I love you. Jenne: Had the two of us not known you, you would havce been the first guy gone from your tribe or soon after Big Steve has left the room. Big Steve has entered the room. Jenne: as i am sure kyle, steve, and taylor can attest to Jenne: you did little in this game to earn the position you are in, and you will not be receiving my vote this evening Jenne: I love you but you do not deserve to win this game because you rode Gracie and my coattails the entire way Jenne: it was her and i that formed the bonds with these people Jenne: and it was her and I who always controlled who was leaving Jenne: while you were off making mooney eyes at jamie, we were playing a hardcore game Jenne: which i doubt you ever realized Jenne: Gracie, *blows a kiss* Jenne: you and i ran this game start to finish together Gracie: *blows one back* Jenne: you got the vote of of me early on and we ran every vote after that together Jenne: if your power in this game is in your vote, you always had double the power of anyone else Jenne: because you always had myvote too Taylor: *mumbles- not every vote* Jenne: i am sorry that it is not me by your side, holding your hand right now Jenne: (thats what you think taylor) Jenne: i will continue now Jenne: if that is ok Taylor: that's fine, sorry for interuppting Jenne: you played an incredable game and are one of the sweetest women i have ever know to boot Jenne: ther eis no other person in this game, next to myself ;-), who deserves this more Jenne: you played a strategic game, but not a heartless one Jenne: it is my surpreme hope that my fellow jurrors realize how hard you worked to be where you are today, and crown you the winner of this game Jenne: you earned the win! Jenne: goodluck! Jenne: done Gracie: *smiles at Jenne* Karen: thanks jenne Karen: OK…Now the final 2 have a chance to make their closing statements. Karen: Gracie, please go first. Gracie: I appreciate all your comments here tonight. And I hope I've answered your questions and helped you make up your minds. Gracie: I feel I deserve the win of Survivor Holidays: Valentines Day because I did play a hard game. Gracie: I played hard .. but also tried to not lose sight that I was playing with other people. Gracie: I had hoped that the final two tonight would be Jenne and I, as that seemed to be the only appropriate ending. Gracie: It was not to be, however. Gracie: I do look forward to connecting with everyone after tonight ~ if you would like to do that. Gracie: I mean it sincerely when I say that the relationships and friendships I built here were, and are, real. Gracie: In the end you get to decide who you feel is the better player. I hope you decide its me. Gracie: Thank you. Gracie: (done) Karen: thanks gracie Karen: Lucas, your turn. Lucas: Survivor is a co-operative game. Always has been, always will. You can't do it without the help of others and I have never denied that I got help as well. Lucas: Taylor, I know you said I took all the credit but I didn't. I said I had help from others. I would be foolish to think I --or anyone-- could do this all by myself. Lucas: Without Taylor, Kyle, Gracie, Jenne, Ellie--oh hell--EVERYONE at one time or another pretty much...I wouldn't be here. Lucas: And I did help, as best I could, in the overall strategy of the alliance. I didn't just log on five minutes before TC and get marching orders. Lucas: We were a group and we worked together. I had people i got along with, they had ones they got along with and we all used those ties as necessary. Lucas: It's not simply enough to say you voted with the majority every time. A lot of people did that and we don't think of them as great players: Mama Kim, Amber, Jan...to name several Lucas: And I was never afraid of doing things that might cost me. I did what I was thought was best to get to the end. Lucas: I did do things I feel proud of. I did do things that others didn't think of. Examples; I lobbied for Ellie to go fifth ahead of Kyle. When we did the word list challenge I found a loophole and exploted it for my own benefit. Lucas: And the fact remains that no matter what they thought of me or what they did they stuck with me. Lucas: If that's not control then i don't know what is. Lucas: Maybe it's a subtle more emotional control--but it's still control. Taylor: *rolls eyes Lucas: Ahem. Karen: anything else lucas? Lucas: yes...i lost my train of thought because i was interrupted Lucas: I never set myself up or presented myself as a mastermind. I am an oppurtunist. Lucas: Options were presented to me and I took them. One of those was friendships. Lucas: I used that to keep me safe because...it was a gift. And I used it for all it was worth. Lucas: And it took me right to the end because I recognized that. I'm not ashamed of how I got here. Lucas: Win or lose I don't think I stole anything in getting to the final two. It may not have been pretty but it worked. Lucas: And that, I think, is that. Lucas: I thank you for your questions and your time and the oppirtunity. Lucas: (done) Karen: thanks lucas Karen: Rob has asked for the stage at this point in the game. He would like to say a few words. So I pass it over to Rob...
