Candice's Questions

[Candice Woodcock]

Hey guys. Or, two guys and a girl dressing up like an Asian man. Congratulations on making it so far. I'm proud to say I've played so many games with you guys, who are definitely some of the best the ORG world has to offer. But if you know me, and how I respond to these games, you know I won't just say all nice things.

I'm really not sure how I'm going to vote, because two of you were my explicit allies, and one of those I hear wanted me out. I wouldn't even know where to begin, and it's unfair to make judgments without you all saying something. I know I always focus on why I didn't win the game, and that's not really the case. But in this situation, I think it'll be telling about how ya'll played.

So to all three of you, my question is thus. Tell me what you did during the Tribal Council that I got voted out, and what that says about your gameplay overall. (Don't worry. There will be more. But I feel like death tonight.)

Hey Candice, nice to see you back.

I stated elsewhere and I'll state here...I did not vote for you at that Tribal, because we had an alliance. In fact, I warned you about the vote but you were out of town or something. If you go back and look at your PMs I warned you the tide had turned. I guess that's all I have to say here.

[Candice Woodcock]

Well I hope you didn't think the question was redundant.

[Big Tom]

Not at all, I just realized I didn't have to say a lot on this one, ha!

[Candice Woodcock]

Well I want to here especially what Tom W. has to say anyway. So I'll wait for him before I get into follow-ups.

This question is hard for me to answer, because we were never allies. To put it simply, I had heard that the vote was going towards you, and I didn't have any qualms with it. After all, we didn't have any alliances, so no reason to not vote for you. Sorry.... I don't really have much to say on this one.

I didn't know who you were until yesterday when I asked Big Tom.

But CB, to follow up, we were never 'allies' per se, but you did work with Big Tom and Tom W, who WERE my allies. Why didn't you see a need to talk to me?

And why should I vote for you to win if you never took the time to talk to me? It seemed to me that you were one of the least active people; that;'s why I targeted you.

I guess I didn't talk to you much because I already had my alliance. When you start talking to the members of the old other tribe late in the game, it complicates things... you start to get too many alliances then you're caught up in your lies. The more mad jurors you have, the worse off you are. Does this make any sense to you? It wasn't anything personally against you why we never talked though... I just never knew what to say!

Why you should consider me as the vote... well I wasn't inactive that's for sure, I did check in here every day. If I was inactive, I wouldn't have gotten this far.

Sorry Candice, i don't know if you read but I have been in Term Paper Overload right now. I hope you understand and I am by no means trying to ignore you. I'm doing the best I can to balance out the million things going on right now. I will have a very detailed answer for you soon.

[Candice Woodcock]

Oh Term Papers! I'm just ignoring mine. No I didn't read that, but I understand. I can be patient.

[Tom Westman]

Yes, one question left! I saved ya for last Candice! Let me go eat Dinner and I will come right back!

[Candice Woodcock]

I'm waiting Tom. You know gentlemen don't stand up their ladies.

Allright Candice! I'm here with an answer!

First of all you can see a WHOLE Flow of how I worked and thought of you throughout the whole game posted in both Danni's and Jenn's questions. It truly shows what I thought about you this whole game and it does answer your question mostly.

But I will also give you an answer here

First of all at the Merge you were "Tainted" by being called a mean girl. I went around and kept stressing the importance of a Durga alliance. I kept saying that all the Durga should stick together just as we had discussed in the beginning. But many people inside of the Durga alliance said that you were with the "Mean Girls" that Jamie was talking about all the time and that you were the biggest threat after Danni.

I did try to continue to push for the idea of the Durga alliance. I knew that this would get you and I farther in the game together and you and I could jump over to Big Tom later in the game.

What sucks is when you have people who have already made up there mind. I only had one vote and one vote can do a little but do a lot at the same time. Let me explain. If I had voted with you to keep you to stay it would become quickly apparent that one person in the original group did not vote with them. This would have sent everyone in the group up against me. At the time I didn't know that I was going to go on an Immunity run. I wanted to but I didn't know if it would happen like it did. My one vote though couldn't have shifted the vote. That is why my one vote couldn't have done much but could have killed my game play at the same time.

I think we can both agree that ultimately the game of Survivor is about yourself and you should always think about yourself before others. In this case I was forced to act upon myself to ensure my safety in this game in the coming weeks.

It is true, I did send messages around saying that we needed you gone because you were a big threat. Did I like doing that? No... I really like you as a person and as an ally. But it was essential. I was looking out for myself. I knew that if I made really big strong statements about the vote then the rest of Durga would not think that I was going to Jump ship or be disloyal to them. So ultimately my vote for you at that Tribal Council was all Strategy so I could get further in the game with less conflict. It also kept me in the right place to make sure that I would not receive any votes against me in the whole game.

I really wish you would have gotten my message about the vote being you or you would have told me about the HII. If I had known about the HII from you I can guarantee that things would be different and that I would have definently changed things up to get you to stay. I just didn't have that piece of knowledge to work with. If I had known your whole Tribal Council would have been approached completely different.



I hope that answers your question Candice and I hope that my Map of my game also shows how I really did want to work with you.
