Congrats Donnie, but TUS...you played one hell of a game.
I voted for you because you "played" survivor better than anyone else. Made it to the finals with the stigma of already winning and Sexy screaming at everyone to evict you. How you managed to get to the end is astounding...which is why you deserved to win.
I'm not trying to take anything away from Donnie, but Suspect played the better game.
Godoggo - Why give the extra vote to Cob and not Sexy, who would have been next on the list. Honestly, I really don't want to answer this question because the last thing I need right now is an argument, but I've been asked twice so here is why. Sexy would have voted against TUS (I'm assuming) because what happened in another game. I don't really think that's fair. I don't mind if someone votes based on bias because of something a person did to you in
this game because that is part of the strategy, don't piss off the jurors. Plus he had already publicly voted but I had a feeling that vote would be changed and I didn't want a cry of outrage from either side. When you host these games you do the best you can to try to be fair to everyone, but not everyone sees it like that all the time. It wasn't personal, it was just a judgement call.
Did you enjoy running the game? I did after we got into it and everyone started playing their characters (sorry I forgot you TUS) It was really disheartening at first when half the people that signed up disappeared. Also there was this feeling of pulling teeth to get some people to complete challenges and stuff. To be honest, I had to scrap a lot of challenges and go to more guessing game type stuff. However, a lot of the players turned it around for me. I enjoyed the people getting into characters and when it got down to the more earnest players my enjoyment increased a lot. I'm very grateful for that.
Did the right person win? I think the right person always wins Survivor. Challenges help you, finding idols help you, but in the end you gotta get those votes. I think that the closeness of the votes shows that both played a great game. Having won before might have hurt TUS but you have to do what you have to do to get those votes. You have to take your disadvantages and turn them into your advantages.
Donnie played the under the radar game and there is nothing wrong with that. He's smart and I think he was in control of his game.
Who were you rooting for? Who did you think would win? For various reasons, I was rooting for a few different people. I'm not copping out on the question, I really did want a few different people to win. I thought it would be cool if you won because you never played before and maybe not as vocal as some of the other players. I consider some of the people playing friends so of course I wanted them to win. Donnie is one of those people, so I was rooting for him too. Then it would have been quite the accomplishment to be a two time winner so I was rooting for TUS.
No one put as much effort into their character and trying to get back into the game as Tongo. I'm so glad he won fan favorite. That was well deserved.
Speaking of Tongo, every time I play one of these games, or host one I get to know someone a little bit better and Tongo was that person this time.
As far as who would win, I thought Rauld had this in the bag.
you put on a great game, I enjoyed myself.[
Thank you!!! I'm very glad you played.
