## Board Party Player Profile

**1.) What should the specs know about you?**

I'm Sam, I'm 22 and I live in the UK. Im british but i definitely dont seem it as I've lived in 6 countries, was born in Fiji and have an American accent. I like to joke around and do dumb shit just for the sake of it. I can be kind of cocky and overconfident and it can definitely bite me in the ass sometimes but i usually take things in my stride. I am usually described as extremely laid-back and unconfrontational, in fact I rarely if ever get angry or blame people even when theyre in the wrong. On the other hand i dont take things seriously enough sometimes and have issues with taking responsibility. When things happen I just say "ok" and move on 90% of the time. Also by taking things seriously, it doesnt mean im not committed to things because in fact sometimes i over commit myself to things, just moreso i can move on quickly and mess around often even in serious situations. Other than in Survivor you'll usually see me travelling the road of least resistance but resistance is a whole part of the fun in Survivor.

**2.) Why should specs pick you as their winner or fantasy draft player?**

I think the specs should pick me in their drafts because I'm something different. Im totally 100% committed to playing hard and attempting to make moves and I'm all about trying my best to entertain the specs while also trying my best to play as well as possible. If youre gonna draft someone, it might as well be someone who is gonna stay involved, active and ever-ready to create content and fun times.

**3.) If you are to win this season, what would be the reason?**

A mixture of social and strategic gameplay based around keeping on top of the information and keeping involved. I cant stand it when players sit idly by and rely solely on social gameplay for the entirety of the game, so I'm going to make sure I have a resume based on the perfect moves with great timings and a jury full of people who would be happy to vote for me. Obviously thats all very idealistic, but i did say i was a bit overconfident didnt i?

**4.) If you lose, what would be the reason?**

Speaking of which, that overconfidence could definitely be my downfall, or i catch too big of a case of the "big-move fever". I have to make sure the moves i make actually make sense and won't kill my game and i have to make sure i have the information throughout the game so i can keep on top of where the votes are looking to go. My sleep schedule is sometimes volatile so i need to make sure i keep on top of talking to the right people as well, so that i dont wake up to a blindside.

**8. Sam**

I am about to get my next round of hate mail, I am sure. But please do not take this as an attack or knock on Sam. Sam played just about the best under the radar game you could play. He kept a strong duo secret, he controlled several merge votes at the exact right time, and he had a stronger social game then his duo at times which put him in a potentially good spot late game. But he undersold himself so much that the cast saw him as a goat. And, Sam had very sporadic confessionals. We would get this big conf dump sometimes, or an epic video confessional, but then sometimes the whole spec lounge was sitting and wondering what in the world Sam was thinking because he hadnt said anything for days. Even his loved one made a couple jokes in their loved one visit about it. And that is the biggest knock I have. I told you confs are important to my org, and if you are gonna play a very under the radar game in game, you have to buoy it with strong confs to get recognized in character rankings. Unfortunately that's where Sam faltered. But he was dark horse for a reason, and he played a great game.
