## Reunion Interviews

[4:00 PM] Dev G: Heyy
[4:01 PM] Spencer: So first things first congrats on making it to the final
[4:01 PM] Dev G: Thank you very much, very happy to be here
[4:01 PM] Spencer: Last time we saw you was Triage where you walked away in 3rd
[4:01 PM] Spencer: Coming in after a few seasons off, what did you expect?
[4:02 PM] Dev G: I thought that it was going to be hard for me. There were a lot of rookies in the cast from The Shift and The Quest. I didn't play with them yet, so i didn't have a connection with them. I knew that that could be a problem for my game.
[4:03 PM] Spencer: So how were you able to overcome that?
[4:03 PM] Dev G: In the beginning: absolutely not. But later in the game i think i did pretty good
[4:03 PM] Spencer: Care to explain?
[4:04 PM] Dev G: Well in the beginning i was playing with people i knew from seasons i've done before. This didn't really help me in the beginning bc a lot of people that where from later seasons got power early.
[4:05 PM] Spencer: There were rumblings of an OG alliance throughout the game. Was this true?
[4:07 PM] Dev G: I formed a day 1 alliance with Mikee', Joey, Knife, Chris and Don. I didn't know Knife yet but i thought he was a good competitor so i wanted him on my side. If you see an OG as someone who played before All Stars 1, there was absolutely an OG alliance.
[4:08 PM] Spencer: By your definition then, an OG is someone who's first season was pre-AS1. So why weren't Soko and Allen included in this alliance?
[4:11 PM] Dev G: I see an OG as someone who played the first season. But if you wanna make the term OG bigger, than i think you could say that everyone who played before All Stars 1 is an OG. I didn't include Soko and Allen in this alliance bc i wanted to work with the strongest people in the beginning. Soko really surprised me, i really made a mistake there, mush respect for him, such a good competitor. I didn't include Allen bc i wasn't in an alliance with him in a previous season. I also didn't think he was going to help my game.
[4:12 PM] Spencer: Besides your vendetta Brandon, was there anyone else on the cast you were not happy to see?
Spencer
[4:13 PM] Dev G: No, i didn't have a feeling that i was on bad terms with anyone else. I knew Brandon wasn't a threat for me. We just don't like each other but i knew i could easily beat him and i wasn't surprised that he was Purged in episode 1.
[4:14 PM] Spencer: Any final words/things you'd like to address?
[4:14 PM] Dev G: I would like to tell some more things about my alliances and deals. This is the reunion, end of the season, lets gets everything out there.
[4:14 PM] Spencer: Floor is yours
[4:16 PM] Dev G: I had a day 1 alliance with Mikee', Joey, Knife, Don and Chris. When i was voted into elimination twice i was very sad. I started to make better relationships with other people. I made a deal with Ben, Tracy and Ryan. I made a little alliance with Brad and Issy. I talked to Soko about not voting each other in.
[4:16 PM] Dev G: BUT
[4:17 PM] Dev G: I just wanna say that i really loved the conversations with people, i was genuine with you guys. At the end of the day, it is a game, no hard feelings. I love playing with everyone this season.
[4:17 PM] Dev G: Bye bye
[4:17 PM] Dev G: individually
[4:17 PM] Dev G: i had individual deals with Ben, Tracy and Ryan
[4:18 PM] Spencer: Alright Dev thank you, always a pleasure, and good luck
[4:18 PM] Dev G: byeeeee

[4:19 PM] Brad: Hey hey :slight\_smile:
[4:19 PM] Spencer: You had a fairly successful rookie season on The Quest. What were your expectations this season?
[4:20 PM] Brad: I wasn't really sure tbh, I didn't feel like I had super strong bonds with many people and it was my first time playing individually here so I just tried to adapt with what I had
[4:20 PM] Brad: I wasn't expecting to get as far as the finale again though!
[4:20 PM] Spencer: Two finals in a row, thats pretty impressive
[4:21 PM] Brad: Thank you! Not a win though, but still an accomplishment I guess :rofl:
[4:21 PM] Spencer: You also had some powerful vendettas, Soko, Ben, TN and Don
[4:21 PM] Spencer: You and Don in fact argued the first night of the game
[4:21 PM] Brad: :eyes:
[4:22 PM] Spencer: Were you worried that there would be a target on your back because of this?
[4:22 PM] Brad: Not at all, I think it's good to be authentic a lot of the time and what had happened in that context was pretty recent so I was a little hurt/angry
[4:22 PM] Spencer: In Don context or Soko context?
[4:23 PM] Brad: Context of Don
[4:23 PM] Brad: I was actually unaware of Soko's feelings before the season
[4:23 PM] Spencer: Oh?
[4:23 PM] Brad: Feelings in terms of how he felt after the Quest
[4:24 PM] Brad: Was 100% a miscommunication, I made 1 flirty comment and the reason I stopped was when I found out his age, just because it's not something I would do in everyday life obviously
[4:24 PM] Brad: But me and Soko cleared that up pretty quick
[4:25 PM] Brad: All my vendettas I actually had a conversation with so we cleared the air pretty early on
[4:25 PM] Spencer: No shade, but aren't you and Soko the same age?
[4:25 PM] Brad: I'm 20 and Soko is definitely younger
[4:26 PM] Brad: I can't remember how old but I remember he mentioned it to me
[4:26 PM] Spencer: I couldve sworn he was like 18/19 lmao
[4:27 PM] Brad: Yeah I remember it being 16/17
[4:27 PM] Spencer: Well now we have clarity lol
[4:28 PM] Brad: I really like Soko though!
[4:28 PM] Spencer: Moving on, you managed to make it to the end without having to go into elimination. Were you surprised?
[4:28 PM] Brad: Yes, especially considering the alliances that were out there
[4:29 PM] Brad: I feel I had strong individual relationships that probably helped me out
[4:29 PM] Brad: But yeah definitely surprised I didn't see elimination once
[4:29 PM] Spencer: You and Chris got into a heated argument once Ryan exposed some alliances. What did you know prior to that revelation and how did it effect any of your game relationships or alliances?
[4:30 PM] Brad: Okay so Ryan exposed the alliances and for clarity I confronted TN about it just to make sure I knew it was true/confirmation before taking it to the group chat
[4:30 PM] Spencer: Pause. What group chat
[4:30 PM] Brad: I didn't know so much of alliances I just had an idea certain people were together
[4:31 PM] Brad: The house chat sorry
[4:31 PM] Spencer: Oh lol
[4:31 PM] Spencer: I was like guess another alliance is getting exposed lmao
[4:31 PM] Brad: No, I was honest in the house chat I wasn't in an alliance outside one on one relationships
[4:31 PM] Brad: After that I was
[4:31 PM] Brad: But prior, I wasn't
[4:32 PM] Spencer: Who was that alliance with?
[4:32 PM] Brad: And my point in taking it to the group chat wasn't the fact there was alliances; that's the game, it was certain people I felt had been fake with me
[4:32 PM] Brad: My main alliance after that was Me, Soko, Issy, Ferg, Mikee', David
[4:32 PM] Spencer: Did you know that Soko and Mikee' had major beef?
[4:33 PM] Brad: Yes, but at that point we didn't have a choice
[4:33 PM] Brad: I felt there was common, stronger targets so
[4:33 PM] Spencer: Why did you choose to get involved in the argument between Chris and Ryan?
[4:34 PM] Brad: Well I took it to the house chat and it was initially me vs. Chris
[4:34 PM] Brad: My point in taking it to the group chat was to highlight certain alliances so the people not in solid ones could band together
[4:34 PM] Spencer: And do you think it worked?
[4:35 PM] Brad: For sure, with some people it did
[4:35 PM] Brad: The people willing to make big moves
[4:35 PM] Spencer: Anyone you wanna say in particular?
[4:35 PM] Brad: Or had interest in doing that
[4:35 PM] Brad: In terms of who wanted to go after big threats?
[4:35 PM] Spencer: Yeah
[4:35 PM] Brad: Issy, Soko and Ferg
[4:35 PM] Spencer: Interesting
[4:36 PM] Spencer: Any final thoughts?
[4:36 PM] Spencer: Oh wait Dev has a q
[4:36 PM] Brad: Ooop
[4:36 PM] Spencer: who where the big threats? -@Dev G
[4:36 PM] Brad: Ben, Chris, Don
[4:37 PM] Brad: Anyone in the solid alliances tbh
[4:37 PM] Spencer: I see
[4:37 PM] Spencer: Any final thoughts or statements?
[4:38 PM] Brad: No I had fun this season, I am excited to see who takes it! All deserving winners, I think I just got to root for Issy because they had my back more than the others I think
[4:38 PM] Brad: But either way I am happy with any of the winners!
[4:38 PM] Brad: any of them being winners\*
[4:38 PM] Spencer: Alright thank you brad I'm sure we'll see you again in the future
[4:39 PM] Brad: Thank you for having me! Thank you hosts you did amazing :heart:
[4:39 PM] Spencer: :heart:

[4:40 PM] Ferg: Howiya! :green\_heart:
[4:40 PM] Spencer: Starting off, I have to say I think you have one of the most impressive records in tfc history
[4:40 PM] Spencer: Three consecutive finals is not easy to do
[4:40 PM] Ferg: Thank you no idea how to be honest ha
[4:41 PM] Spencer: Coming in after two consecutive finals, were you worried about a target on your back
[4:43 PM] Ferg: Emm not really, I've never been the strongest in challenges and the cast was stacked with bigger threats so I felt comfortable enough... I also had a strong core of people who I know I can rely on and have my back in most circumstances so that helped a lot to put me at ease.
[4:43 PM] Spencer: Who were in this strong core?
[4:45 PM] Ferg: I feel the likes of Brad, Issy, Knife, Ben, Mikee in particular are people I get on well with and I know will look out for me in a tough season like this
[4:45 PM] Spencer: This brings me to another question I've had burning for a while
[4:46 PM] Spencer: You and Knife seemed to be close in the beginning, but it seemed like you got a bit distant as the season went on. Did you feel that way too?
[4:48 PM] Ferg: I think there's always been a good relationship there and kind of a 'I won't fuck you over if you don't fuck me over' type vibe so we never really needed to stay close and this relationship showed at the end where he could have put me in against Tracy and likewise I could have put him in against David and we didn't we still protected each other despite the one hiccup in the mini haha
[4:49 PM] Spencer: How was the mini in your opinion? I wasn't on and when I came back it was a clusterfuck of idek
[4:50 PM] Ferg: I was just happy to survive the purge to be honest especially with a jigsaw even if it was easy so anything else was a bonus really once I didn't finish last and go into elim in the main game. I actually had a lot of fun with it even if they are typically speed comps and whoever has the best internet wins lol
[4:51 PM] Spencer: After the mini, the game flipped on its head when Issy forced a tie with the troika, and you wound up going from inquisition to troika. What was going through your head when all that went down?
[4:54 PM] Ferg: I was feeling relatively comfortable, I knew Don would vote for me which was fair enough, Knife wouldn't and I felt good about my relationship with Issy plus Issy had told us the plan before hand so we knew that there was a slight chance it would work out and we'd finally be able to throw a strong player into elim
[4:54 PM] Spencer: How was this final for you?
[4:56 PM] Ferg: I think frustrating is the best way to describe it.....
I feel I did really well in Stage 1 & 2 and had a very good chance of making F4 so was looking forward to the chance to compete for the win but obviously things went tits up in the jigsaw
Dunno what is about them cost me the final here, got eliminated in Quest because of one, took like 2 hours to do one on The Shift I feel I'll never win anything if I can't improve that side of my game which suckks a lot
[4:56 PM] Spencer: I can reveal that you were literally 8 seconds behind the person who got the final slot of part 2
[4:57 PM] Ferg: hahaha
[4:57 PM] Ferg: :deadbanana:
[4:57 PM] Ferg: love to hear it
[4:57 PM] Spencer: Are there any final thoughts/statements you'd like to share?
[4:59 PM] Ferg: No just want to say thanks you to all the hosting team for all your amazing work this season and putting up with all my complaints about trivia lol and to the cast it was an absolute pleasure playing with all of you even if I was lazy as fuck chatting to a lot of you, I'm sorry for that! :green\_heart: And lastly congrats to the 4 finalist I think based on their performance all season it was very deserving to see you all at the end
[5:00 PM] Spencer: Thank you Ferg. Im sure we'll see you again

[5:01 PM] Don: yo
[5:01 PM] Don: Wassup
[5:02 PM] Spencer: Coming straight off the MM win, were you concerned that people were going to gun for u?
[5:02 PM] Don: No. I aint think they was bold enough. and I good enough socially to create certain bonds
[5:02 PM] Don: I wasnt worried
[5:03 PM] Spencer: How about your night 1 fight with Brad? Were you worried about that making you a target?
[5:04 PM] Don: I didnt think it would make me a target but I did think it would draw attention. Im not somebody who likes to argue infront of everyone and create a big scene. If that was his goal then kudos to him but thats not what im about
[5:04 PM] Spencer: Do you think his objective was to make people more aware of your game or just to air out grievances from Eve's game?
[5:05 PM] Don: A mixture of both. Brad is very calculated
[5:05 PM] Spencer: Interesting
[5:06 PM] Spencer: As Dev mentioned, you were apart of his day 1 alliance. How long were you planning on staying loyal to them?
[5:08 PM] Don: I mean it was easy. Ive watched vendettas, so I figured there would be atleast 8 people in the final. There was only 5 people in the main alliance, I truly thought we all could make it
[5:08 PM] Don: I just feel like theres alot of hypocrisy, Brad had the record for the most times in the troika and he didnt say any big names
[5:09 PM] Don: so for him to point the finger at everyone and cry about how people wasnt nomming big names its like how dare you
[5:09 PM] Don: Sorry that the people im close with are good at these things
[5:09 PM] Don: sorry that im not willing to throw them under to benefit you.
[5:09 PM] Don: lolz.
[5:09 PM] Spencer: I have a question from Ferg
[5:09 PM] Don: Its answered above
[5:09 PM] Spencer: "can you ask him why he was never willing to throw big threats in? Was he just confident of beating everyone"
[5:09 PM] Don: :joy:
[5:10 PM] Spencer: Oh lol
[5:10 PM] Don: Im not hostile, im just not biting my tongue
[5:10 PM] Don: Lets air it out right
[5:10 PM] Spencer: While he responds, around the middle section of the game, you wanted to target Issy because of his connection to Joey. Did anyone else know that?
[5:11 PM] Don: Probably only Joey. It wasn’t personal I just didnt have a rapport with issy and I didn’t want joey having any other big allies lol
[5:11 PM] Spencer: And then joey quit lmao
[5:12 PM] Don: Its just alot of hypocrisy tho :joy:
[5:12 PM] Spencer: Explain
[5:12 PM] Don: If you wanna play a game revolved around making big moves, DO IT. Dont give an excuse on why you couldnt play the game you wanted to
[5:13 PM] Don: Maybe that means you arent as good as you think lol
[5:13 PM] Don: Not my fault
[5:13 PM] Spencer: I mean not to point fingers here, but there were plenty of opportunities you had to make big moves and you chose not to either
[5:14 PM] Spencer: For example, sending Sly into the inquisition over say Ben
[5:14 PM] Don: I didnt feel like it was necessary to throw my friends in to benefit the games of people that I didnt know that well
[5:14 PM] Don: its classic meat shield strategy
[5:14 PM] Don: why would I get rid of all the big targets and make myself a big shining star
[5:14 PM] Don: especially when im the closest with those people
[5:15 PM] Don: if this were survivor I could understand
[5:15 PM] Don: but guess what, I wanted my friends, INCLUDING issy and brad in the final with me
[5:15 PM] Don: I just think they were thinking short term for ne
[5:15 PM] Don: me\*
[5:15 PM] Don: and long term for them
[5:16 PM] Spencer: Ben wants to know when you say meat shield, were you reffering to him or sly?
[5:16 PM] Don: Im speaking the whole game in general lol
[5:16 PM] Spencer: Ok. Well this obviously isn't going to get us anywhere anytime soon lol
[5:17 PM] Spencer: Any final words/thoughts?
[5:20 PM] Don: My final thoughts is that people should win more and stop trying to blame the next person for their game not shaping up the way they want it to. :black\_heart::black\_heart:. On day I had an alliance with Chris Dev Knife Mikee Dev and Joey. There was a chance where I was asked to join moment alliance to target TN, Tracy, Ben and Chris and I obviously declined. I wanted to stay true to my day ones but I also had personal relationships with Issy ben and brad. I feel like I played a great game and no one can tell me other wise :black\_heart:
[5:20 PM] Don: I mean look at me,
[5:20 PM] Don: Im in contention for the win
[5:20 PM] Don: Goodluck fellas!
[5:20 PM] Don: Im sorry for the typos
[5:20 PM] Don: im in the car
[5:20 PM] Don: LMAO
[5:20 PM] Spencer: lmao its all good
[5:21 PM] Spencer: Thank you Don and good luck in the rest of the final

[5:23 PM] Issy: Hi Spencer
[5:23 PM] Issy: :3
[5:23 PM] Spencer: Clearly you have a lot to get off your chest, and I have a lot to ask you
[5:24 PM] Spencer: I guess lets start with arguably the most iconic moment this season when you flipped the troika after the mini final
[5:24 PM] Spencer: What was your goal in doing that?
[5:24 PM] Issy: That mini final was so annoying, everything was a speed competition and Don just won everything. I had an alliance going into it of obviously me/Ferg/Brad/Soko/Mikee/David
[5:25 PM] Issy: Soko & Mikee get purged, the other 3 are in the inquisition, its just not really the best round for me, and I loved the 3 in the inquisition so I didnt want to pick between them, so I just decided to tie the vote and get Don sent in. It was nothing against Don PERSONALLY, but in the mini final he showed me where I was on his totem pole so I didnt really care if he went in, even though I was 90% sure he'd beat Tracy
[5:25 PM] Issy: It was moreso a move just to keep my allies safe
[5:26 PM] Spencer: Did you think you were going to be able to pull it off?
[5:27 PM] Issy: I really didnt, when I thought of it I was just trying to think of ANYTHING to save my friends, but then when Knife said he was voting David and Don told me he didnt want to do that, I knew that the only way it'd work is if I lied to Don and said that I'd vote however he wanted, and even then I thought he wouldn't trust me and vote in David to be safe, so yes up until the actual announcement I did not think it was going to work
[5:28 PM] Spencer: Were you concerned that you were going to get blindsided and get sent in against Tracy?
[5:28 PM] Issy: Not at all, I trusted all 3 of them 100% (at least when Im sitting next to Knife & Don :joy:), otherwise I wouldn't have gone through with that move
[5:29 PM] Spencer: You definitely had some new relationships form this season, from a showmance to a rivalry
[5:29 PM] Spencer: Starting with the showmance, is there any type of relationship with you and Soko?
[5:30 PM] Issy: Soko is very nice, but like Brad mentioned earlier he is underage. There is nothing romantic there at the moment but he's a very good friend who I would love to keep in contact with moving forward
[5:31 PM] Spencer: On the other side, you and Jozea formed a bit of a rivalry this season, constantly going tit for tat with one another. What do you think caused it?
[5:33 PM] Issy: I was just shocked that he nominated me at that point, I thought we were cool and at least if you nominate me and have no intent to vote me in/target me then I thought it'd be smart to tell me beforehand, like Brad & TN did. When he nominated me I was just shocked and then I said I was coming after him, then AFTER I said that he decided to tell me I was just a pawn, but it was too late lol, I felt like backtracking would've just made it look worse
[5:34 PM] Spencer: Had he told you ahead of time that you were a pawn, would you have targeted him afterwards?
[5:34 PM] Issy: Not at all, I just saw that I was nominated without being told prior, no warning, nothing, it made it seem like he was just coming for me lol
[5:36 PM] Spencer: I was going to ask you something but i blanked lol
[5:36 PM] Spencer: Any final words/thoughts?
[5:37 PM] Spencer: I remembered!
[5:37 PM] Spencer: Having won the final 3 elims last season and making it to the final, were you worried about a target on your back?
[5:39 PM] Issy: I wasn't afraid of it making myself a big target, even though I won those 3 eliminations I felt like last season increased my relationships with everyone since it seemed like Ben was taking us all out. I actually thought Ben would've been a huge target in this season. But no, I wasn't worried about having a target on my back at the beginning of the game
[5:39 PM] Spencer: How about at the end?
[5:40 PM] Issy: When the players dwindled down I thought that people would be willing to make more big moves, send me against a mercenary or if a strong player got last throw me in, yeah, but at the start I feel like nobody wanted to ruffle feathers because Vendettas is just a really long format and you have to think about longevity
[5:41 PM] Spencer: I see
[5:41 PM] Spencer: Now any final thoughts?
[5:42 PM] Issy: Not much to say, I feel like my game was pretty transparent throughout so nothing to really come clean about. I love everyone no hard feelings and I really wish I couldve played more with Adryan/Char/Allen/Nicholas because they were probs the top of my ally list going into the season and they all left so early LOL
[5:42 PM] Issy: and thank you for hosting!
[5:42 PM] Spencer: Thank you Issy and good luck

[5:43 PM] Spencer: Welcome
[5:44 PM] Spencer: Everyone knows that you and Mikee' were basically a package deal coming into this season. Were you worried about that putting a target on you guys?
[5:46 PM] David G: I was a bit at the start, but apart of me thought we were all g, since most of the time no one really gives a fuck about our relationship.
[5:46 PM] Spencer: And rn you're just close friends?
[5:47 PM] David G: Yeah, We've always been good friends. I don't do long distance dating but I do, do long distance flirting.
[5:47 PM] Spencer: You played a pretty lowkey game this season. How badly did you want to make a big move?
[5:49 PM] David G: The thing is In all honesty this was probably the hardest season for me, so big moves were hardly ever on my mind. I'm also not good at challenges unfortunately :joy: so it would've been hard to make those big moves.
[5:50 PM] Spencer: Besides Issy's troika flip, one of the most shocking moments came when you beat Chris, the guy who was 9-1, in the penultimate elimination. What was going through your head during and after the elim
[5:52 PM] David G: First of all I literally just found out until now Chris was that amazing. I felt multiple things, I'm sure people knew that I was a mess because I felt like shit for accidentally saying my score in the house chat and thought I had to get DQ'd for it, but luckily that wasn't the rules. So I felt really bad for Chris but I also felt really great that I managed to keep a good Elimination record.
[5:53 PM] Spencer: How did you think you were going to do in the final?
[5:54 PM] David G: Not to well. I know when it comes to the challenges I'm not that good at them. I'm garbage at puzzles, and compared to alot of people, app games I'm not good at either. So I didn't think I would've done to well.
[5:55 PM] Spencer: I can reveal, that until the puzzle, you were in the top 4
[5:55 PM] David G: The puzzle that took me 50 minutes askhfas
[5:55 PM] Spencer: https://tenor.com/view/nervous-gif-4120579
[5:55 PM] Spencer: yeah
[5:55 PM] Spencer: Anyway, I know you have to go soon, so any final thoughts?
[5:57 PM] David G: I actually enjoyed this season despite how stressful it was and I'm glad you all hosted because I enjoy the company. Thanks for having me. And I managed to make friends which is weird because my social game is usually horrible.
[5:57 PM] David G: Anyways I have to go now
[5:57 PM] David G: Bye
[5:57 PM] Spencer: Bye lol

[6:00 PM] Ben M: Hey
[6:00 PM] Spencer: Coming in as a champ, on your first season, were you worried about there being a target on you?
[6:00 PM] Ben M: Oh yeah I thought I would be gone in the first couple cycles honestly
[6:01 PM] Spencer: But you weren't even nominated until the last round. How do you think you achieved that?
[6:02 PM] Ben M: I feel like I showed that my social game isn’t as ass as it appeared last season :joy:
[6:03 PM] Spencer: You were kinda a douchebag last season
[6:03 PM] Ben M: I think you got the wrong guy
[6:03 PM] Spencer: But this season you completely did a 180
[6:03 PM] Spencer: Did you have some sort of self-reflection?
[6:03 PM] Ben M: No I’m still a douchebag I swear
[6:04 PM] Spencer: But you toned it down?
[6:04 PM] Ben M: I’m a loveable douchebag
[6:04 PM] Ben M: No I guess last season the circumstances just kinda made me overreact
[6:05 PM] Spencer: I think thats a bit of an understatement lmao
[6:05 PM] Ben M: Alright Spencer we get it :joy:
[6:05 PM] Spencer: But moving on, you were a part of a few alliances this season. What was your goal in seeking people out
[6:06 PM] Ben M: My true alliance this season was with sly and Tracy, the chris/Ryan/tn alliance came out of left field honestly and I was working with tn but I didn’t really know chris/Ryan
[6:07 PM] Spencer: What was it about Sly and Tracy that made you want to work with them?
[6:07 PM] Ben M: We just had a lot of genuine conversation early on, and I think with me winning early and then being rookies they felt comfortable with me
[6:08 PM] Spencer: Is there anyone you were unhappy to see on the cast?
[6:09 PM] Ben M: Unhappy noooo, I mean during the season I don’t like when people quit/don’t give 100% in everything. But I wasn’t unhappy anyone was cast
[6:09 PM] Spencer: Jozea wants to know if you trusted him
[6:10 PM] Ben M: I didn’t distrust jozea, when he went in there were probably 6-7 other people I woulda sent in before him but we just didn’t have a lot of game conversations
[6:11 PM] Spencer: Even though you weren't as upfront with your opinions this time around, you still managed to get into a confrontation with Ryan. What happened?
[6:13 PM] Ben M: Essentially, the way it appeared in our team chat was that Ryan had lost interest in playing on the season, he asked for us to throw the challenge and vote him in, it took us til 5 minutes before the challenge to talk him into doing it, and then he went ghost for almost 24 hours and it just felt like to me his heart wasn’t in it
[6:14 PM] Ben M: It wasn’t anything personal, I wouldn’t have voted him in if I didn’t feel that way it’s just I put a lot into all of these and I don’t like people quitting
[6:15 PM] Spencer: If he didn't feel that way, who would likely have gone into elimination?
[6:15 PM] Ben M: Oop I smoke too much
[6:15 PM] Ben M: I don’t even remember
[6:15 PM] Ben M: Can you refresh me on the cycle
[6:16 PM] Spencer: lmao
[6:16 PM] Spencer: It was the Light It Up challenge
[6:16 PM] Ben M: I remember the challenge
[6:16 PM] Spencer: You Brad Don and Ryan were the winning team
[6:16 PM] Spencer: Sly was in last and Ryan, TN and Soko were in the inquisition
[6:17 PM] Ben M: Okay yeah I burned on tn I woulda voted Soko
[6:17 PM] Spencer: Interesting
[6:18 PM] Ben M: And I guess issy was right that Soko staying indirectly saved me from the purge
[6:18 PM] Spencer: Do you have any final thoughts/words?
[6:18 PM] Ben M: I’m sorry @Sly I really tried for ya buddy
[6:19 PM] Spencer: Alright thank you Ben and good luck
[6:19 PM] Ben M: Wait
[6:19 PM] Spencer: waiting
[6:19 PM] Ben M: I was gonna do a final words that wasn’t it lol
[6:19 PM] Spencer: Oh lmao
[6:19 PM] Spencer: Do em
[6:20 PM] Ben M: So all in all this has been a fun season, I was shocked that I survived all the way to the final after last season, I feel like this seasons format really pushed forward the good competitors and I think all of us are deserving. Can you confirm I was the one 8 seconds ahead of ferg? And on top of that who was the hoe that threw that grenade? :eyes:
[6:21 PM] Spencer: No
[6:22 PM] Spencer: All will be revealed in due time
[6:22 PM] Spencer: But thank you Ben
[6:22 PM] Ben M: Fair enough but the grenade question I was askin all them hoes too :eyes:

[6:30 PM] Knife: hey there
[6:30 PM] Spencer: So after being purged the first challenge last season, what were your expectations?
[6:30 PM] Knife: well i expected to at least do better than that this season lol
[6:30 PM] Knife: that was ofc my goal lol
[6:31 PM] Spencer: And you more than succeeded
[6:31 PM] Spencer: This is your third final in 5 seasons. How does that make you feel?
[6:31 PM] Knife: yeah definitely
[6:32 PM] Knife: i mean it feels good to have made that many, but ofc i wish i had at least won one. i mean if dev wins this season ill be tied for most finals without winning, and if he loses ill just be 1 behind him on that, so its bittersweet knowing ive done so well, but not quite grasping the win at the end 3 times
[6:33 PM] Knife: either way tho i have fun playing
[6:33 PM] Knife: i do feel like my name would look better in that gold color tho lol
[6:33 PM] Spencer: A lot of talk has been going around about making "big moves", and your name has been brought up. Care to elaborate/defend yourself?
[6:39 PM] Knife: i mean im never usually one to be of the big moves philosophy. im more of the mindset of doing whats best for my own game, and if making a big move happens to align with that, then win win i guess. but but if not making a big move serves me more than making one, then ill go that way every time. like for instance i was in a day 1 alliance with chris dev don joey mikee and ik those are some big names and strong players and that taking them out might be a good big move, but it wasnt something i ever considered cuz ik that working with them was best for my game. as far as my name being brought up, i think thats just cuz i made the final in my first 2 seasons and its pretty well known that i love playing the comps and ik people think i excel at some of them, so i dont fault people for coming after me, especially when i didnt talk to or work with many people this season, so its not something i get too upset by unless we were clearly defined allies working together ya know?
[6:40 PM] Spencer: You managed to float under the radar as well, only being nominated the last two challenges. How do you think you pulled that off?
[6:43 PM] Knife: i have no clue when i didnt talk to many people after like week 1 lol but seriously i think its just cuz i sat back and let people pick have their fights with each other and target the people who targeted them. i never really had any specific targets in mind and when i would have to vote for troika or for last place itd just be about if i had less of a relationship with that person or if the other people voting were gonna vote them. so i just sat back and played less aggressively than usual and relied on my allies more and adopted an anyone but me philosophy, and i guess it worked out since i made the final and didnt have to go into an elimination lol
[6:44 PM] Spencer: Towards the end of the season, we saw a bit of a rivalry form between you and Tracy. Care to discuss?
[6:49 PM] Knife: lol i wouldnt call it a rivalry at all, it was just circumstance for me. we lost beer pong and of the people on the losing team i was close to ben chris and mikee so didnt wanna vote them in, and then tn got voted in by the troika, and then david was someone everyone in my alliance agreed could be an asset to us cuz of him and mikee being close. so it was decided itd be tracy, but then chris fucked it up lol i had been talking to ben before about voting david and not tracy, so i think when she saw i didnt, thats where her ire towards me started, as shown when she tried to stab me in the first round of stab lol but i wasnt targeting her as much as just as it happened that she wasnt part of my alliance
[6:50 PM] Knife: and even when i was on the troika and she was in the inquisiton i didnt vote for her cuz it didnt serve me to, so its not like i was after her
[6:50 PM] Knife: idk how she feels about it tho
[6:50 PM] Spencer: Well I'll def ask her
[6:50 PM] Spencer: Ben has a question for you
[6:51 PM] Spencer: Just waiting for him to type it
[6:51 PM] Spencer: "First he tells me he’s down to do david cause he already voted him in twice, Why did he tell me he was considering voting tracy 10 minutes after he already voted tracy,"
[6:51 PM] Knife: " david was someone everyone in my alliance agreed could be an asset to us cuz of him and mikee being close. so it was decided itd be tracy,"
[6:51 PM] Knife: that was after i had talked to ben about doing david
[6:52 PM] Knife: "i had been talking to ben before about voting david"
[6:52 PM] Knife: ben should really read things lol
[6:53 PM] Knife: i wanted to see if ben would be down to vote tracy, that was it
[6:53 PM] Knife: i wasnt about to be aggressive like fuck this plan im voting tracy, i wanted to see if he would do it
[6:54 PM] Spencer: When Issy flipped the troika, you became vulnerable. Why didn't you and Don try to work together to counteract this plan?
[7:00 PM] Knife: i forget if don was voting brad or ferg, but i didnt wanna vote either of them and i had already voted david before so i just decided thats what i was gonna do and if he didnt vote with me oh well, and if brad or ferg went in, oh well again not my fault cuz i didnt vote them in. i had this conversation with the hosts if you remember where i also was under the misconception that if it tied, the last place player would get to pick who they went against. but what i was misremembering was that the last place players tied their votes and the troika picked the last place player. and then on the revote, issy told me he was gonna switch his vote to whoever don was voting so i thought it wouldnt matter if me or don switched ours since issy was already. but then issy didnt lol so it was just me not really thinking about it or worrying about it tying again after talking to issy
[7:02 PM] Knife: but even when it flipped i didnt feel in too much danger from anyone but david cuz i felt like i was in a good place with brad and ferg, so it was surprising to see david not vote for me and brad did vote for me lol
[7:02 PM] Spencer: Would you like to say something to either of them?
[7:02 PM] Knife: who?
[7:02 PM] Spencer: Brad or David about the vote
[7:03 PM] Knife: hmm nope not really lol mostly just curious why david didnt vote me when i had voted him, but i guess it just wasnt in his best interests which i understand
[7:04 PM] Spencer: Any final thoughts?
[7:05 PM] Knife: just that ill get a win one of these games :sob: it may take 20 games but its gonna happen eventually lol
[7:05 PM] Knife: thanks for having me!
[7:05 PM] Knife: and good luck to the rest of the finalists still in!
[7:05 PM] Spencer: Lol i know the feeling
[7:05 PM] Spencer: Thank you Knife and I'm sure you'll be back

[7:06 PM] Chris: thank you, I've been waiting for this all week
[7:06 PM] Spencer: lucky me lol
[7:07 PM] Spencer: This is the first time we've seen you on a main season since Havoc. What were you expecting after being gone for so long?
[7:08 PM] Chris: I wasn't expecting much but after finding out that I didn't make the top 20 list I had something to prove
[7:08 PM] Spencer: What was your approach coming into this season
[7:09 PM] Chris: To be a bit more socially and strategically active, in my last two main seasons I was in way too many elims so I wanted to tone that down
[7:09 PM] Spencer: I think it worked for the most part, although you were caught up in some stuff
[7:10 PM] Spencer: Ryan publicly accused you of having multiple alliances, an accusation you consistently denied
[7:10 PM] Spencer: Care to quell the rumors?
[7:14 PM] Chris: Yeah they're all true lol, ryan decided to leak all those alliances but I had one more that he didn't know about that I had to keep up appearances with so I decided to deny as much as I can in hopes that they would believe me and that we could still stay solid. The original alliance consisted of me, Jozea, Ryan, and TN called the Lavender Ladies. Then we wanted to expand that alliance to Ben, Sly, and Tracy. My plan was to make one with sly and tracy, another with just Ben but it ended up being one with Tracy and Ben, and another with Jozea, Sly, and Ryan which was very inactive.
[7:15 PM] Spencer: Do you have anything you want to say to Ryan for blowing your game up? (Or at least attempting too)
[7:15 PM] Chris: https://tenor.com/view/steve-harvey-huh-what-confused-unsure-gif-4751998
[7:16 PM] Chris: I think that was a bad move on his part but it's all g. I really have no hard feelings towards him or that decision and I recovered pretty well :joy:
[7:17 PM] Spencer: You had a reputation as an elimination beast. And then you flopped competition wise. Why do you think that was?
[7:17 PM] Chris: Ikr
[7:19 PM] Chris: I was pretty busy irl this season but I think it's just 1, a lack of experience, I havent played for over 7 seasons, and 2, this cast was full of competition beasts, like I stay up almost all night for a challenge and 3/7 people still manage to beat me
[7:20 PM] Spencer: You made it all the way to the last elimination. Why do you think you were sent in over Ben or Knife?
[7:22 PM] Chris: yeah I asked that in the reunion chat, and I think the reasons were that I wasn't in kahoots with the majority of the troika, Issy and Ferg, Ferg saw me as the easiest for david to beat which never I have I been so offended by something I 100% agreed with, and dev wanted revenge for an earlier move? If ben ends up winning they might regret it :joy:
[7:23 PM] Spencer: Who do you think is going to win?
[7:24 PM] Chris: I really don't know, but there were barely any app comps so dev might not fare well. I think it will be either Issy or Don
[7:25 PM] Spencer: Focusing back on you, you made an interesting power move when you forced the tie between David and Tracy. Why did you do it, what did you expect, and did it work out for you?
[7:25 PM] Chris: Oh boy finally
[7:26 PM] Chris: Alright so at the time there were two main alliances that I had. Ben, Sly, Tracy, TN, and me, as well as Mikee, Dev, Don, Knife, and me. Two 5 person alliances that I needed to have my back
[7:27 PM] Chris: So my original plan was to get sent in, which I wasn't scared of since I was pretty confident in my elimination skills, so that I could stay in good social standing with both my alliances
[7:29 PM] Chris: Mikee was already pitching a plan to vote tracy beforehand, and once i pitched to that alliance to vote me in and they already stuck on tracy I realized
[7:29 PM] Chris: I could get a 3-3 tie to happen, while keeping myself safe and not going against either alliances
[7:29 PM] Chris: so I got my reverse psychology Dr. Will mojo on
[7:30 PM] Chris: and pushed so hard for them to vote me in so that they wouldn't
[7:30 PM] Chris: and voted myself to stay consistent with what I was pleading
[7:31 PM] Chris: so it worked out for the most part since dev and don had two chances to send me in and they didn't
[7:32 PM] Spencer: Did you think the troika was going to send in TN?
[7:33 PM] Chris: i didn't care as long as it wasn't me, but they said they wanted to put two strong people in and I didn't know what they meant but I hoped one would be Brad since he was definitively after me at that point
[7:33 PM] Chris: and going with either side would've backfired more because I would have two alliances definitively putting me on their target list
[7:35 PM] Chris: and it wasn't either of those alliances that sent me in (well dev did but that was for another reason) but it was the other side that I was worried about, Issy and Ferg
[7:35 PM] Spencer: Any final thoughts/statements?
[7:36 PM] Chris: I guess not lol
[7:37 PM] Spencer: Thank you Chris. I know we'll see you again

[7:51 PM] Tracy: Hey thank you!!!
[7:52 PM] Spencer: Coming in as a rookie, what did you expect?
[7:52 PM] Tracy: I definitely expected to be on the bottom of this cast who has a lot of history together. I honestly wasn’t sure if coming in with no vendettas would help or hurt me
[7:53 PM] Spencer: Did you want to be more social/strategical with your strategy or more physical?
[7:54 PM] Tracy: Social for sure. I’m a pretty decent physical but I know I’m a way better social player
[7:55 PM] Spencer: Well you definitely made an impression, as you weren't nominated until towards the end. Why do you think that was?
[7:57 PM] Tracy: I think it was definitely my social connections. Ben and me were super close right off the bat. But I also tried to socially connect with a bunch of the cast. Even though someone like brad and me never officially had an alliance, I wouldn’t have considered voting him in bc of how good our relationship was
[7:58 PM] Spencer: Towards the end of the season, you and Knife had a sorta pseudo-rivalry. We've gotten Knife's perspective on it, now I wanna hear yours
[8:03 PM] Tracy: I don’t blame him for gunning for me bc we weren’t working together and didn’t have any relationship in the game. However, it did feel a bit personal when he voted for me and then never circled back around to have a conversation with me, then didn’t vote me in, then I said I took him not voting me in as him extending an olive branch and us making amends. And then him pretty much ignoring me saying all of that and voting me in anyways. I guess guess his social game is lacking bc we didn’t need to be rivals :woman\_shrugging\_tone1:
[8:04 PM] Spencer: Well it seems like you guys are on the same page, which is always nice to see
[8:04 PM] Spencer: You were involved in a major game move when Chris forced a tie between you and David. What was going through your head while everything was going on?
[8:07 PM] Tracy: I knew right away that Chris couldn’t be trusted from making up some nonsense story about wanting to go in. But I knew he was just being a coward about having to pick sides. It sucks that TN had to leave because of it :/
[8:07 PM] Spencer: Do you think Chris had your best interests from the jump?
[8:09 PM] Tracy: Absolutely not lol it’s a good move to have allies on all sides but he clearly had allegiances to very few and promises to everyone. It felt a little off him even being in an alliance with him bc we didn’t have a strong a relationship like I had with ben, sly and jozea
[8:10 PM] Spencer: Any final thoughts/statements?
[8:11 PM] Tracy: I had so much fun playing this season and met so many amazing people! Thank you so much hosting team for putting on a good show and I hope to see you again :heart:
[8:11 PM] Spencer: Thank you Tracy, I'm sure we'll see you again in the future

[8:40 PM] Sokobene: Hello!
[8:40 PM] Spencer: You definitely had quite an up and down ride this season. What's your overall take on the season?
[8:43 PM] Sokobene: I was totally robbed lol! I feel like, once again, I had to prove myself that I can makes moves and win challenges, even though i shouldn't have to. I felt like I didn't have anyone's respect for the entire season, but it's ok. I was betrayed a lot, lost some connections, made some new ones, but above all else, I proved that I can actually win challenges, plus I won 3 eliminations, and I still didn't get some people's respect, but it turns out, I don't even want it
[8:43 PM] Sokobene: So I'm really proud of myself this season
[8:44 PM] Spencer: As you should be
[8:44 PM] Sokobene: c:
[8:45 PM] Spencer: There was a lot of intense strategy this season, and it appears that you were at the head of a counter-alliance after the whole Ryan-Chris explosion. What was going through your head when everything was going on?
[8:47 PM] Sokobene: I was totally oblivious to anyone having an alliance beside Mikee/David/Brad, and since I was a free agent, I thought everyone else was too. But hearing of another alliance made me realize that I'm gonna get thrown in a lot more because everyone viewed me as a layup, so I had to act fast.
[8:48 PM] Spencer: Speaking of Mikee', you guys came in with a vendetta, and it seemed to only intensify throughout the course of the season. Care to comment?
[8:50 PM] Sokobene: Mikee and I will probably never be friends, ever. When Joey threw me in over Mikee I was very upset, and then I extended an olive branch to him and tried to get him on my side, but after reading his confessionals, he certainly did not like me at all, and most likely had 0 intentions of being loyal. Plus, I was so mad that everyone was so attached to him because he doesn't do anything besides post gifs or emojis, and plus I think he'd be easy to beat in eliminations.
[8:50 PM] Spencer: I mean, you were flapping about him too lol
[8:50 PM] Sokobene: Oh yeah for sure
[8:51 PM] Sokobene: Not denying that at all, but I actually did eventually want to work with him, and he didn't so oh well
[8:51 PM] Sokobene: I stand by anything I said about him
[8:51 PM] Spencer: Going back to Brad, you've developed a bit of reputation as a flirt
[8:51 PM] Sokobene: Omg
[8:52 PM] Spencer: First Char, then Brad, then Issy. Is this strategic or do you/did you genuinely have feelings for them?
[8:52 PM] Spencer: (Cant forget David)
[8:52 PM] Sokobene: Oh my goshhhhh!
[8:54 PM] Sokobene: David I talked to many many seasons ago, and that went nowhere. Char I dont remember flirting with but I wouldnt be surprised if I did? The whole thing with Brad happened STRICTLY last season, and he made it very clear to me and everyone he did not return any feelings, which is good because I didnt even like him THAT much so the whole Soko/Brad thing got way blown out of proportion. And then Issy is the only one I made a genuine connection with. None of that was strategic at all.
[8:54 PM] Spencer: Did you know that Issy was overage?
[8:55 PM] Spencer: Cuz I didn't know you were underage lmao
[8:55 PM] Sokobene: Ok am I on trial here or is this an interview?
[8:55 PM] Sokobene: Like, if you're trying to make me out to be a desparate hoe then you are incorrect.
[8:55 PM] Spencer: Lmao
[8:55 PM] Sokobene: And if you're trying to make out that Issy is a creep you are also incorrect and misguided
[8:55 PM] Spencer: That wasn't my intention
[8:56 PM] Spencer: Im just asking questions
[8:56 PM] Spencer: Let's move on then
[8:56 PM] Sokobene: The age gap between us is 1 year damn
[8:56 PM] Spencer: Having played in two very distinct eras of TFC, Onslaught-Havoc vs Quest-now, which section do you think was harder?
[8:58 PM] Sokobene: They're both really tough honestly. In the new era, since I've been gone for the middle, I don't have enarly as many connections as anyone else, so socially it's difficult to sway people on your side when they've been with other people for many seasons. Competition wise it's also harder. We didn't have Ben and Brad and Issy back in the day!
[8:59 PM] Spencer: True
[8:59 PM] Spencer: Do you have any final statements/thoughts?
[9:02 PM] Sokobene: Hmmm... First off, I miss Ben O'Brian, Martha, and player Parzi. We could've aligned and slayed this season first and foremost. Secondly, Ben this season, I thought we had each other's backs, obviously not! I was genuine but yikes you did not give 2 shits. Chris, idk where the vendetta came from but we got purged together on Onslaught so i Don't hold it against you. Third, I really proved myself this season, and I got really tired of being an easy option for anyone and everyone. I killed it this season, and despite not making the final, I'm damn proud.
[9:03 PM] Sokobene: Joey: once a quitter, always a quitter
[9:03 PM] Sokobene: Mikee: once a snake, always a snake
[9:03 PM] Sokobene: Deuces
[9:03 PM] Spencer: Thank you Soko, I'm sure we'll see you again
[9:03 PM] Sokobene: I hope so!

[4:09 PM] TN: Hello!
[4:09 PM] Spencer: Coming off an impressive rookie season, did you think you had a target on your back?
[4:11 PM] TN: Honestly no I didn't think so. I thought that because and I flopped so hard in the final that it didn't make a difference to people, and may have come off as we were just layups in the final which is far from true but that's what it came off as
[4:12 PM] Spencer: Speaking of Kevin, last season, you kinda let him take the reigns. Given that this was an individual season, were you worried about having to make decision for yourself?
[4:12 PM] Spencer: No offense
[4:12 PM] TN: No no no none taken
[4:14 PM] TN: I did let Kevin take the reigns last season because I have seen him in previous games and I know he is good strategically and socially. I wasn't worried with the decision making honestly because some people here came off hot and I knew that if they kept putting a target on their back I could just use that as an excuse to put them into inquisition and maybe elimination
[4:15 PM] Spencer: When Chris forced the tie between Tracy and David, you got the short end of the stick and were sent into elimination. What was going through your head and did you expect to be targeted by the troika?
[4:17 PM] TN: I was so pissed when that happened. I honestly was so confused to see myself in elimination especially against Sly because I really liked him. What was going through my head was that Don was a snake because it was the 2nd time he had put me in and i hadn't put him in once
[4:18 PM] TN: So more pissed at Don than I was Chris
[4:18 PM] Spencer: Interesting
[4:19 PM] Spencer: When you were in the troika, you attempted to make a move by nominating Joey. Was he just a pawn or your target?
[4:21 PM] TN: Honestly he was just a pawn tbh unless he wanted to go in. I liked him so I thought nominating him and not putting him in was the best thing for my game. I wasn't really wanting to go in making big moves because I didn't want a huge target on my back.
[4:21 PM] Spencer: Were you scared about going into eliminations?
[4:22 PM] Spencer: Cuz, once again no offense, that's kinda the vibe I'm picking up
[4:25 PM] TN: Honestly I wasn't scared to go in but I was trying to not ruin my perfect elimination record, which ended up failing in the long run. If I had to go in I was fine with it I was going to hold a grudge if I did go in though.
[4:26 PM] Spencer: So do you still hold a grudge towards Dev, Don and/or Soko?
[4:27 PM] TN: I hold a grudge towards Doin because he had done it to me more then once
[4:27 PM] Spencer: Unfortunately he's not on rn so he can't respond, so any final thoughts or statements?
[4:28 PM] TN: Nope! Thanks for a great season and I hope to be back soon! Also great job @Sly for beating me in the yoga elim it wasn't easy
[4:29 PM] Spencer: Thank you TN I'm sure we'll see you again

[4:29 PM] Jozea: Hello !
[4:30 PM] Spencer: We haven't see you in a few seasons, what were you expectations coming in?
[4:31 PM] Jozea: Well since I took some seasons off my only expectation was to not be seen as a total weak player to people I haven't played with
[4:32 PM] Spencer: Do you think you accomplished your goal?
[4:32 PM] Jozea: I mean yeah , with the help of some people
[4:33 PM] Jozea: If it weren't for Ben , Tracey and my close friend Chris I don't think I would have made 9 episodes .
[4:33 PM] Spencer: Is the Chris comment sarcastic?
[4:34 PM] Spencer: Cuz it sounds sarcastic to me lol
[4:34 PM] Jozea: Kinda .. lol
[4:35 PM] Spencer: You had a target placed on your back early because of Dev's grenade. How did that change your gameplay?
[4:37 PM] Jozea: Honestly it didn't change my gameplay it was more of I need to stop relying on "friendships" to get me far and play the game for myself
[4:38 PM] Spencer: You used quotes around friendship. Did you believe you and Dev were friends coming into the season?
[4:39 PM] Jozea: Not dev I haven't spoken to dev at all until a certain point of this season, But certain others I thought were my friends didn't talk to me .
[4:39 PM] Spencer: Care to call them out?
[4:40 PM] Jozea: No. you will see the people I'm talking about next season.
[4:40 PM] Spencer: Ok
[4:41 PM] Spencer: As I mentioned last night, you and Issy developed a rivalry during the season. We got his opinion on it, care to share yours?
[4:44 PM] Jozea: I get that what I did was not smart at all , I should have told him way before hand that I wasn't targeting him and to let him know he was just a burn vote.
[4:45 PM] Spencer: During the season, you constantly mentioned having a crush on one of your fellow cast members. Care to share?
[4:46 PM] Jozea: Yeaa , no me and the person worked it out in private :slight\_smile:.
[4:47 PM] Spencer: Well now I'm curious lmao
[4:47 PM] Spencer: But if you don't wanna share it's fine
[4:47 PM] Jozea: Lmao I liked sly.
[4:47 PM] Spencer: Aw
[4:47 PM] Jozea: Yea.
[4:48 PM] Spencer: Any other final thoughts/statements?
[4:48 PM] Jozea: Well I need to work on not being a sheep and letting other people in the cast drag me to the end and actually work harder at the challenges and have my own brain .
[4:49 PM] Spencer: Interesting thoughts
[4:49 PM] Spencer: Thank you Jozea see you in the future

[4:50 PM] Sly: Hey hey :smile:
[4:50 PM] Spencer: Coming in as a rookie, what were your expectations?
[4:51 PM] Sly: I mean, I was definitely nervous at first given the nature of the season. My expectations were set around making the most of the chance to be on and having as much fun as I could while I stayed in the game!
[4:52 PM] Spencer: We saw you excel in challenges and lay fairly low socially. Was that your gameplan?
[4:54 PM] Sly: Absolutely, I knew that my best chance was to avoid being noticed as long as possible while others might be more focused on their vendettas. Unfortunately I played conservatively for a bit too long to make an impact late game but it definitely helped me avoid danger for the majority of the start.
[4:56 PM] Spencer: In your second elimination against TN, you were a part of the winning team, with members of the troika specifically stating that they weren't going to vote in any team members. Yet when it came down to it, you were sent into the inquisition and then unanimously into the ring. How did you feel about that?
[4:57 PM] Sly: I pretty much expected it by that point. I was someone that most people involved already openly were trying to get out of the game. Sure I held out hope they might try and make a bigger move but at that point I knew it was the most likely outcome. I was definitely not offended by their choice.
[4:57 PM] Spencer: As Jozea just mentioned, he developed a crush on you as the season proceeded. What was your reaction when you found out?
[5:00 PM] Sly: I was flattered for sure, I do have a strong relationship with my long-term girlfriend who recently accepted my proposal :sweat\_smile: so I was not and am not in a position to return feelings for anyone else.And I respect him for being open with me about it and being able to move past his feelings to remain a close friend to me! :smile:
[5:00 PM] Papi Parzi: Congrats on being engaged!
[5:00 PM] Spencer: Well congratulations on the engagement
[5:00 PM] Sly: Thank you!
[5:00 PM] Papi Parzi: Lmao I'll leave now but I love love
[5:01 PM] Spencer: Parzi is also in a long term relationship and is a complete sap
[5:01 PM] Sly: I totally get that xD
[5:01 PM] Spencer: Getting back on track, when Chris tied the vote between Tracy and David, did you think the troika was going to throw in TN?
[5:03 PM] Sly: I didn't spend much time wondering what they were going to do, once Chris tied it I knew the outcome wasn't going to be great no matter what they chose to do.
[5:03 PM] Spencer: Do you hold any type of grudge towards Chris or anyone in the game?
[5:05 PM] Sly: I don't have any grudges, Chris was playing sloppy and clearly playing both sides at that point but he was trying to make moves for his own game and I respect that. I definitely never felt any move made towards me was personal so I have nothing but respect for the people who made them.
[5:06 PM] Spencer: Any final thoughts/statements?
[5:09 PM] Sly: I do want to congratulate Issy on one of the most impressive elimination performances I have ever seen! And I have to thank Ben for fighting so long on my behalf!
This season was a lot of fun to be a part of and no matter who wins in the final four it will be well deserved!
I hope I get the chance to come back eventually and play with many of you again!
Thank you Spencer and all other hosts for casting me!
That covers it :slight\_smile:
[5:09 PM] Spencer: Thank you Sly. Once again congratulations on your engagement and I'm sure we'll see you in the future

[5:10 PM] purple edit baby: hi whore
[5:10 PM] Spencer: O....k....
[5:10 PM] Spencer: You had a pretty lackluster season on The Quest. What were your hopes/expectations this time?
[5:12 PM] purple edit baby: This time I didnt want to get fucking thrid boot like that shit is embarrasin forreal especially when you just won a daily. I honestly expected to win alot of dailies but I guess god said no after I dragged most of my cast mates in my head
[5:13 PM] Spencer: Watching most of the season, especially the more iconic moments, as a viewer, what surprised you the most?
[5:14 PM] purple edit baby: me when I didnt watch the season.....but ummm I guess Ben making the final after being hated last season like that shit is impressive and how much the rookies were here to play and werent afraid of any champ/vet unlike you know what Ima keep it cute and put it on mute
[5:15 PM] Spencer: Ok a little rude
[5:16 PM] Spencer: But other than that, did you expect the finalists to be the finalists? If not who did you think would be there instead?
[5:17 PM] purple edit baby: I expected Issy and Knife to be finalist but Im suprised Joey,Chris and Ryan werent finalist
[5:18 PM] Spencer: Are you surprised Joey quit?
[5:20 PM] purple edit baby: Yes and No at the same time I remember joey saying that he wasnt really trying this season bc he wasnt that interested in format but to flat out quit, I was shook like the least you could have done was throw the elimination (and won like bad bitch Jenna Thee Compono) and then get sent in multiple times till you lose
[5:21 PM] Spencer: Given that you went out early, we didn't really get a chance to see you strategize much. Are there people you wished you worked with?
[5:24 PM] purple edit baby: I wished I talked to the rookies and done more to not get mad at the stupidity these ppl openly expressed
[5:24 PM] Spencer: Care to name names?
[5:24 PM] purple edit baby: the ones who voted me in during that elimination and mikee
[5:25 PM] Spencer: I see. Any final thoughts/statements?
[5:28 PM] purple edit baby: Issy you better get this w if you dont Im rioting to the other finalist you can win another time, You all can catch these hands and Watch on Teen Survivor on CBS @ 8 oh and yall hoes are nasty this isnt fucking love island so stop trying to get in eachothers pants
[5:29 PM] Spencer: Um ok. Thank you Adryan we'll see you in the future

[5:31 PM] JP: Hello
[5:31 PM] Spencer: As a rookie, what were you expecting for the game?
[5:32 PM] JP: I really had no expectations. As a challenge Fan I just happen to find this server and thought cool , I need more org experience
[5:33 PM] JP: I guess I was expecting one thing that as a rookie that I wouldnt make it far
[5:33 PM] Spencer: Was this the first ORG you've ever played?
[5:33 PM] JP: I think this is officially my fourth
[5:34 PM] Spencer: You laid pretty low until you were sent into elimination. Was that your strategy?
[5:35 PM] JP: Kind of entering new communities could be real hard to socialize so I like to sit back and watch what people are doing a little bit before I become more involved
[5:35 PM] Spencer: Do you think that helped you or hurt you?
[5:36 PM] JP: I think it hurt me it seems like people form relationships really fast and already know people so me not socializing just solidified the reason to put me into a limitation for some people
[5:36 PM] Spencer: Your elimination was pretty intense. If it had been something else, do you think you would've stayed?
[5:37 PM] JP: Possibly. I really think the pressure just got to me and I just couldn’t fucking think
[5:39 PM] Spencer: Is there anyone/anything you'd like to address?
[5:40 PM] Spencer: @JP
[5:40 PM] Spencer: Also Ben wants to know why you never listen to him in Survivor
[5:49 PM] JP: Lol sorry
[5:49 PM] Spencer: its all good
[5:49 PM] JP: No im good just sorry to everyone I didn’t socialize more it’s just fucking hard
[5:51 PM] Spencer: Any final thoughts/statements?
[5:53 PM] JP: With all due respect
[6:22 PM] Spencer: Thank you JP

[6:29 PM] Nicholas M.: hai
[6:29 PM] Spencer: Coming in as a rookie, what did you expect?
[6:30 PM] Nicholas M.: well, I entered kinda without expectations!
[6:30 PM] Nicholas M.: I wanted to have fun and be the best I could be :man\_shrugging:
[6:31 PM] Spencer: Your vendetta this season was Don, which stemmed from issues that arose in Eve's game. Did the two of you talk it out at any point or not?
[6:32 PM] Nicholas M.: erm, I never considered it a vendetta because I didn't really pay mind to our conflict!
[6:33 PM] Nicholas M.: I told him I didn't have a problem with him, he seemed chill about it! But, then I get thrown into elimination round 1 in a tribunal he's a part of, haha.
[6:33 PM] Nicholas M.: so, it at least felt convenient for the storyline if there was one! :stuck\_out\_tongue\_closed\_eyes:
[6:33 PM] Spencer: There's a lot of crossover between this series and Eve's. Is there anyone you were surprised/unhappy to see from Eve's?
[6:35 PM] Nicholas M.: hmmm
[6:35 PM] Nicholas M.: I love Brad! So, I was happy to see him :smile:
[6:36 PM] Nicholas M.: Don, I didn't feel warm nor cold towards
[6:36 PM] Nicholas M.: Ferg was chill
[6:36 PM] Nicholas M.: If anyone else was in Eve's, I forgot! Haha
[6:38 PM] Spencer: Had you remained in the game, what was your plan?
[6:38 PM] Nicholas M.: Have fun! Work with Brad. I thought Tracy and David were cool, too! I liked Issy. Just stick around with people I vibed with and hope to make a lasting impact :smile:
[6:39 PM] Spencer: Is there anyone you didn't vibe with?
[6:41 PM] Nicholas M.: No one gave me a, uh, negative vibe per se! The person who nominated me for the elimination (I don't even remember their name!) definitely gave me weird vibes, but I didn't attribute it to his character! Just was like, meh, weird answer but okay!
[6:42 PM] Spencer: Any final thoughts/statements?
[6:42 PM] Nicholas M.: I had fun! I'm glad to have played :smile: if I ever return, I hope to not be first boot, haha. Thank you for having me :love\_you\_gesture:
[6:43 PM] Spencer: Thank you Nicholas I'm sure we'll see you again

[6:44 PM] Ryan qrstuv: hiya
[6:45 PM] Spencer: Your vendetta going into this season was Knife, but we saw him help you out in the beginning of the season. Did you two squash the beef?
[6:46 PM] Ryan qrstuv: yeah we definitely squashed it. i cant say it was a really vibrant vendetta in the first place but we definitely do have a sort of cute lil rivalry. we’re way cool with each other now for sure
[6:47 PM] Spencer: Well thats always nice to hear
[6:47 PM] Spencer: At the beginning of the game, you definitely laid low, and it seemed like alliances fell in your lap. Was this your strategy?
[6:51 PM] Ryan qrstuv: coming into the game i think i actually wanted to play pretty boldly and like, with no fucks to give. but when it started and i saw so many personalities i kind of shrunk a lil lol. and i wasnt able to win much which kind of hindered that approach. but yeah thanks to Jozea who was the first to reach out to me, those alliances just fell into my lap so i was able to just slide by pretty easily. but that bored me real quick :sob: like i wanted to play the challeng, not the social game so having to sit on the sidelines was really getting to me. if i kept up with my kiss assyness i probably couldve made it further but i just couldnt :skull:
[6:52 PM] Spencer: You managed to get some power in the game towards the middle.....and then everything went haywire. Care to explain from your POV?
[6:55 PM] Ryan qrstuv: well prior to my team doing that lights challenge i was at my breaking point in terms of being so irrelvant gamewise lol. i almost said fuck it and allowed my team to lose so i could do something by going into the elimination. but then i decided not to and we snapped and i ended up in the troika, which i was actually itching for all this time. then unfortunately i just idk... for whatever reason i didnt immediately decide who to nominate bc i wanted to wait and see who last place was, but waited too long :-/
[6:55 PM] Spencer: You then got into a pretty heated argument with your other teammates and they were the ones who sent you in. Why do you think that all transpired?
[6:58 PM] Ryan qrstuv: it was mainly with ben and it was because i felt like he was being a bit condescending towards me. it was in the troika chat and also our alliance chat, but he was pretty much saying i’m inactive and that i dont care about the game which really pissed me off bc like hello i just counted up past 2000 with yall to win a challenge.. who tf would do that if they didnt care lol.
[6:59 PM] Spencer: Ben wasn't the only person you took aim at. After being sent in, you decided to expose the Lavender Ladies alliance and blow up Chris's game. Why did you choose to do so?
[7:01 PM] Ryan qrstuv: oh yeah :skull: well i was definitely pissed af about getting thrown into inquisition after just winning the challenge, and i knew i would be sent into elimination too. i felt like the game was super static tbqh, and i felt like if my time was about to be cut short i wanted to shake the game up a bit and have some impact. i just wanted some drama and for everyone to play harder
[7:01 PM] Spencer: Had you stayed, what was the endgame? Considering you blew up an alliance that had your back
[7:03 PM] Ryan qrstuv: i was going to position myself as the person not afraid to target the biggest players in the game who i saw as ben/don/chris. i definitely would not have had an easy time making the endgame but at that point i didnt care. i think i would have worked closerly with brad, issy, and hopefully would have been able to convince knife in going after the big dogs along with me
[7:04 PM] Spencer: Was going after Chris personal or strictly strategic?
[7:06 PM] Ryan qrstuv: nah i dont have any personal shit with anyone in the cast and hope they dont with me lol. i didnt even want to call out chris but the way he was trying to deny the alliances, that wasnt flying with me lmfao it was clear he was trying to deflect it in order to keep good with whatever other alliances he had, so i wanted to make it harder for him
[7:06 PM] Spencer: Any final words/statements?
[7:07 PM] Ryan qrstuv: i hope that next season’s cast is bolder!!! we want more drama, more fights, and big moves. fuck all that nicey nicey, UTR, kiss ass gameplay. be bold yall
[7:08 PM] Spencer: Feisty final words
[7:08 PM] Spencer: Thank you Ryan I’m sure we’ll see you again in the future
