Sandra's Statement

[Sandra Diaz-Twine]

Congratulations for making it to the Final 2. You both outplayed me, and I have to acknowledge that. That being said, I will not make this easy for any of you. Remember to be honest. because my vote will be based on how well you answer my questions.

Tyson- I feel like you were invisible for the greater part of this game. Tell me why you deserve to win over Brandon, because right now, I don't see you as a deserving finalist.

Brandon- You did play a great game and deserve your spot in the final 2. That being said, I want to know why you picked to go up against someone so weak. when you could've taken a stronger player up there with you and earned my respect.

Both of you- Compare yourselves and the jury to Survivor castaways (U.S. version, and cannot be the ones currently in this game) based on gameplay and other criteria

Well honestly Sandra almost no one besides Elisabeth and maybe (just maybe nothing too big) BQ deserve to be there, as far as everyone else no because this game lacked heart. Why...I deserve to win over Brandon....hmm...hmmm.....I got through this game on luck and don't believe I was considered for getting voted out (correct me if I'm wrong).

Both of you- Compare yourselves and the jury to Survivor castaways (U.S. version, and cannot be the ones currently in this game) based on gameplay and other criteria

Tyson- I'll go with a combo of Becky Lee & Amber Brkich (All-Stars), because they were invisible for most of the game and managed to get to the end somehow.

Sydney- Jacquie Berg (Gabon), because she was a strong player and nice that is similar to Sydney, she just didn't have the numbers.

Sandra- Cassandra Franklin (Fiji), just a very UTR person and was just there.

Adam- Ian Rosenberger (Palau), Ian was competitive, well-liked, and social, which is very much similar to Adam.

Chase Rice- Butch Lockley (Amazon) was a nice, well-liked, and just quiet person overall. Something that Butch possess from his season because he was nice to everyone, everyone liked him, but he was quiet.

Erik Reichenbach- Big Tom (All-Stars), he was someone that was floating throughout the game (in my opinion) and wasn't widely targetted. He however was at the end of his course much like Big Tom in All-stars, he just wasn't needed anymore and was at the bottom of the chopping block.

Brandon Quinton- Darrah Johnson (Pearl Islands), both are super competitive as well as strategic. They both fell short of the finale at the end of the game and we likable in their own ways. While Darrah is more nice and understanding of how the game is played than BQ, they still resemble each other pretty adequate.

Elisabeth Filarski- Cirie Fields (Micronesia), they both are competitive and won competitions at times. They were well-liked by everyone and had strong alliances which took them up to the nearly the end, but lost the final challenge. They got voted out right before the finale, but they are almost exactly the same with personality as well as gameplay.

Hope this answers your question Sandra.

Brandon- You did play a great game and deserve your spot in the final 2. That being said, I want to know why you picked to go up against someone so weak. when you could've taken a stronger player up there with you and earned my respect.

- I picked Tyson to go to the final two over someone as you say that was stronger in Elisabeth, because I had known and been in an alliance with Tyson longer than I had with Elisabeth and I felt that Elisabeth would be harder for me to beat. In a game that you play to make the moves that contribute most to you winning, I felt as if picking an opponent that would make it harder for me to win would simply be counter-productive.

me- Strangely enough, I actually would kind of consider myself to be a sort of "straight Rafe" in a sense. I kept some people around that would keep the target off of me when I could and found myself silently becoming the leader of my alliance at the end of the day.

Sydney- Unfortunately, I didn't really know Sydney that well and she seems to have been someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and happened to be a casualty of war as a result. Because of that, I think she is comparable to Erin from Thailand.

Sandra- You Sandra, were kind of like Courtney Y from her HvV stint. You went based off of some assumptions that turned out to be incorrect and probably shouldn't have gone when you did.

Adam- Adam was always a little bit of a mystery. There was always something about him that made me think he could pop up and pull something out at any time. And for that, I have to say that he reminds me of Gary from Guatemala.

Chase- When it comes to Chase, he was always a good solid ally to bounce ideas off of and you knew where you stood with him. So, in that sense I have to compare him to Ethan.

Erik- Erik kind of strikes me a bit as Burton from Pearl Islands. The guy had a stumble that put him out early on, but he came back and generally had a good idea what he was doing.

Brandon Q- BQ was much like the leader of the opposition. When you thought he was down and out, he'd find a way to spring back up again until he finally got taken out. I have to say he kind of reminds me of Terry in that aspect.

Elisabeth- I'd actually have to say that Elisabeth reminds me of Erinn from Tocantins. I mean that in the sense that she saw that she could much better her situation if she went with the tribe that wasn't her original and made it all the way to the final 3.


Thanks, Sandra.

Thanks to both of you. I feel that I have enough information to make my choice, and I'm hoping that everyone else sees the light and votes for the best man
