Who do you hold most accountable for your vote-off?
Honestly, I think I was a victim of circumstance. I was swapped onto a tribe with two people that I had just voted differently than, and two others who had made it clear they wanted Patrick to stay. I do believe Frances and Nathan were the two most unwilling to give me a chance. I genuinely trusted Brady and felt he wanted to keep me and would have had it been an option that would have worked out. As for John, I think maybe had we been able to speak a little sooner in the day I might have been able to convince him, but he was busy and then I was busy so it was hard to find that time until it was so close to tribal.
Did you see it coming?
From the moment we swapped I knew I needed IC wins or a miracle to survive. Actually, from the moment I saw this cast I knew it would take a miracle to get me to jury. That's why I played so fearlessly and transparently. What did I have to lose?
What do you think the cause of your vote-off was?
I laid it out there last night at tribal, the season 4 and season 1 people are very much together and unwilling to waver from that pre-made. Allstar seasons are always a popularity contest and thats fine, I just hate when people won't admit they just want to play with their friends.
How organized was your plan to get the target off your back?
I knew John was my only hope at survival and I offered him many valid points on how keeping me gave him the opportunity to remove himself from the Ricky vs Season 1/4/Patricks friends war.
Who are your rooting for?
Brady, Ricky, Shon, Trevor, and Billy because they at least all have their own working, functioning brains.
Who are you rooting against?
I'd love to see that huge alliance only formed out of convenience be broken up
Do you think Brady and John made a mistake not keeping you?
Absolutely. Don't complain that you don't want the game to be two sides at war and then throw away your opportunity to change that
Do you regret your Patrick decision?
Absolutely not! I think Patrick is a great guy and it's nothing personal, but he was the most connected person in the game, and I showed up to play ALL STARS and make moves. I didn't agree to play to just hold hands with my "friends" until they cut me because they don't need my vote anymore.
Since the start of the tribe-swap, you knew you weren't in a great position... are you disappointed that you weren't given more of a chance to be heard?
I think thats what separates the true players from the followers on my tribes. Brady heard me out and realized i was better for his game than the others, and wanted to keep me from what I could tell. John at least was willing to listen despite making a decision i disagreed with. He listened and considered my argument. Frances and Nate are sheep to an alliance that was formed out of pure convenience and preexisting relationships and I think it will give them exactly what they deserve in the end, a devastating cut early jury. You can't play the same way every game you're in and expect different results. That's all I'll say on that.
If there was anything you could go back and change, what would it be?
Not a thing. I fought my ass of and made moves early on like an All Star player should.
Is there anyone in the game that doesn't deserve to still be there?
If you're not there to play why are you wasting a spot someone else could have had? Maybe next time jury placement in your original season should be a criteria for all stars
