Woohoo! First question! Alright, I'd like to first give a begruding congratulations. You both had to do something right to get to where you are...
That being said...
Morgan I only started talking to you post-merge, so this may be different pre-merge but frankly, I don't care. From what I saw, you played everyone. At one point or another, I'm pretty sure you told everyone one thing and did the other. Knowing that, how am I supposed to know if you played me or not? So tell me honestly, did you ever play me, when and why?
Amanda Hello Amanda. Or should I say Neleh. Remember Oklahoma? This is Judd. Hahaha. Anyway, what did you do strategically in this game? From what I saw, you did exactly what Morgan told you. I think you were a better competitor in challenges than Morgan, but this game is not all about challenges. So tell me, what strategic move did you make on your own post merge.
You don't need to answer the second part anymore Amanda. I've pretty much made up my mind.

Morgan I only started talking to you post-merge, so this may be different pre-merge but frankly, I don't care. From what I saw, you played everyone. At one point or another, I'm pretty sure you told everyone one thing and did the other. Knowing that, how am I supposed to know if you played me or not? So tell me honestly, did you ever play me, when and why?
Well your right Brook... I did play a lot of people almost everyone... In fact I think the one person I never played was... Amanda. For the simple fact She was the one person I felt had my back 100% to the point where she would even risk her own leaving if it meant trying to help me stay.
An instance where I played you. Well your a great friend of mine and I wanted to go far with you. The week I played the idol. You agreed to give me your token so that I could have enough for an idol. After telling me that... the next 1-2 days I never saw you online and I messaged you a few times and you never responded.
I will admit I originally that week had in my confessional to vote you out over Erica. I will admit though a big reason for that was I was getting worried you were playing me and that's why you had stopped talking with me. Seeing as both you and Rob had come through and given me your tokens. I immediatly went and replaced my vote for you with a vote for Erica. A hard choice because I promised her earlier that day I wouldn't vote for her. But I also felt I couldn't vote for anyone who gave me tokens to get an idol at the same time. ;-)
Both I want you to stroke my ego a bit. Tell me how I helped get you to where you are now.
You were the ultimate competitor Brook! I started out this game a little soft. There was a few decisions in this game that had to be made that I didn't really want to make because afraid of hurting peoples feelings or lying to friends. You were my constant partner in crime always there with me telling me "This is a game and the moment you let your emotions cloud your decision making. You get voted out." Although I have alot of people in the jury upset with me right now. I think a few of them would be sitting here in the F2 and me in the jury after they back stabbed me if I hadn't had you there to keep me from playing 'nicely' and letting my heart do what it wanted when I knew it would lead to my down fall.
Plus you were the other half of the equation to our alliance success I think. When we merged it seemed like I was in tight with half the people and you were in tight with the other half and I'd like to compare it to Danielle/Jason from BB3.. Just like them we were able to get information from all sides of the tribe and keep each other informed on who was saying what and who was doing what.
Next, I want you to take the 7 deadly sins (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride) and equate it to you and each jury member and yourselves and tell me why.
Myself- Pride, i'll admit that I made some decisions in this game that some people don't like and part of it had to do with pride. With Louisiana being my first season in this series. I felt I never got a chance to show my true potential to wreak havoc and dominate a game. So I wanted to show people in this game I could do better then 9th.
Patricia- Sloth, At the beginning of the game I talked with her more but honestly as the game went on.. I started seeing less and less of her posts on the page and less of her on aim talking with myself and others so I felt like she kind of slacked on the later parts of the game.
Jessie- Lust. Last season in Louisiana. One of the biggest factors that influenced me to work with Jillian was... lets face it she's a hottie and I know from other guys that they have worked with her... and then been back stabbed by her and never saw it coming cause they get infatuated with her appearance... I didn't let it brain wash me this season though ;-)
Colleen- Wow is she a sin? lol she basically sacrificed herself to save Erica so that's hard I guess i'll have to go with.... Sloth... She basically admitted to me that she plays for fun and when it gets boring she's ready to go... and at the point she left... she was ready to leave and wasn't putting in her full effort.
Bobby Jon- Envy. BJ.. we had a strong alliance.. and you tried to flip it and get me out because you felt you were on the bottom and you wanted a higher spot... ;-) Just for the record in my mind... You were always the top 4... You were never on the outs...
Stephenie- Gluttony. Just because I have seen and heard of you dominating games before and I know you have the potential to run a game, yet this season I felt you kind of sat back and took the easy rode and let me and Brook do all the deal making, strategizing, and lying to get our alliance further.
Yau-Man- Sloth. Just because I think of all the jurors I got to know you the least. Brook and I worked this game as a team and you were one of the people he "kept an eye on" for lack of a better term. So maybe you did more then I was able to see. But to me you looked to be a floater for the most part.
Erica- Greed. Erica defiantly was a challenge threat and wanted to win everything near the end. Including asking me to throw a reward challenge the round she left so that she could win another idol. Granted she was wise enough to realize that she was in danger if she didn't win everything but, if I have to choose a sin for her.. that's it
Rob- Wrath. I chose this one because 1) It's the only one I haven't used yet and 2) There's no real sin that sticks out in my mind as defining you. But I know early merge we talked quite a bit and you seemed to have a real urge to get out Jessie and how you wanted to get revenge on her from your original season with her.
Brook- Greed, You were my main partner in crime... You said in part 1 that I played most the people in this game... and your right I did.. cause I wanted to get to the end... but so did you and I know you wanted the end as much as I did and we both did our share of playing to try and get to the end.
Finally, I want you to tell me which Survivor castaway each jury member and yourselves remind you of and rank the jury members (however you want, just tell me how you do it.)
Patricia- Penny. An early jury boot that was just kind of quiet and nice.
Jessie- Rob C (All Stars Version) Smart player... but everyone knew the danger of her and she trusted the wrong people which led to her downfall.
Colleen- Colleen... Just like her in Borneo... you started out strong... you were well liked but when you left... You kinda just took it sitting down.. and when I think of that I picture Colleen at TC with her 'Sitting Duck' shirt.
Bobby-Jon- Rafe. Just like Rafe you had a strong alliance going into merge and had the #'s to go far. Rafe stirred up his alliance though and tried to get out some of the people that he felt were higher then him or he just didn't like. Unfortunately you did the same trying to get me out but didn't fair as well.
Stephenie- LeAnn. You were in the majority alliance... You thought that you were set for the end. Then middle of the jury bam... things flip around and you were blind sided out due to being a threat and not targeting the same people your alliance wanted to.
Yau-Man- Once again... I didn't work closely with Yau so I don't know him too well but i'd have to say Katie Gallagher (Palau) based on things I heard from Brook... You were kind of his equivalent of what Amanda was to me.... You worked closely with him like Katie did with Tom... but you were always viewed as being a sort of a floater who was clinging on to the power players in control.
Erica- Stephenie in Palau. Just like when she went to Koror and was out numbered. You knew after Colleen left you were in trouble and needed to scramble. Steph caught a break by Janu quitting. You caught a break by having an idol and a pendant given to you by Colleen so you could stay in. But in both cases the vote caught up to you a round later.
Rob- Paschal! He was taken out by a purple rock... You were taken out by a self vote. In both cases I think if the situation had been different both players would be further then 4th ;-)
Brook- Yul. You had your group of people who looked to you to call the shots and you were very cool and collected. You tried to play a straight up game for the most part but you knew that we'd have to do some dirty work and take out some people who wouldn't be happy with us to get us to the end.
Myself- Brian Heidik... I think I tried to kind of be good with everyone... and work every possible angle.. have my alliance... and then my back up alliance... and then my 3rd string back up alliance.. and I tried to be honest to people as long as I could.. but eventually in the words of Brian... You gotta be ice cold... I had to break a few promises to get me to where I am now.
and I guess i'll rank in terms of who i'd be voting for if they were F2 and I was jury.
1) Brook- Umm you were my partner in crime... You helped set up alliances... break alliances... and play the game from day 1 of the merge and if it wasn't me winning I would love to see you here winning.
2) Erica- You were always honest with me.... If I came to you with a vote.. you wouldn't just agree to do it.. you always said you'd weigh your options and consider it. I think if you made F2 it would of been with honesty and through hard work to keep yourself safe so you would of had my vote.
3) Rob- You were like my 2nd Amanda... Unlike her... I never thought you would sacrifice yourself possibly to help keep me safe but I knew as long as it wouldn't hurt you... You'd have my back so I gotta support you... Plus Rob C was totally robbed in Amazon and it's bout time he won a game :-P
4) Colleen- I have no doubt if you had wanted to be in the F2 this season... you'd be here right now. I must thank you cause by you sacrificing yourself to save Erica it also helped save me and get me to this point right here and I think when you put forth the effort your a great player.
5) Steph- Much like Colleen... I think your a great player.... When you try.... I think you got to a point where our alliance was so in control you thought you didn't have to worry anymore and so it caught up with you because people knew at the end game you could be a threat when you needed to.
6) Jessie- LOL as a person... I love you... as a player... I think your as sneaky and dirty as me... Only difference is I embrace it... you deny it ;-)
7) Yau- I put you here because although I felt you did float alot. Brook told me you were the one who originally came to him wanting to boot Jessie and it shows that you weren't just a complete floater or anything. You wanted to make moves... You wanted to play the game and I respect that.
8) BJ- Basically same reason as Yau... I didn't honestly notice you doing much in the game... But I do know you tried to flip the alliance against Me/Brook/Amanda and i'm glad it didn't work.. but you took a chance and you tried to take out a power player and I respect that.
9) Patricia- I put you here cause I honestly didn't see you make any moves and I have not a clue what your strategy was. If I knew this stuff it may totally chance how I see you.

Amanda, you do need to answer the other questions. I've decided. Here the are:
1. Both I want you to stroke my ego a bit. Tell me how I helped get you to where you are now. 2. Next, I want you to take the 7 deadly sins (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride) and equate it to you and each jury member and yourselves and tell me why. 3. Finally, I want you to tell me which Survivor castaway each jury member and yourselves remind you of and rank the jury members (however you want, just tell me how you do it.)
