Reunion Show

[Jonathan]

Welcome to the reunion show everyone! I would like to thank the 16 players in the game for making this season as successful as it was. I would also like to thank China's sole prediction writer Shii Ann as well, for predicting stuff

Feel free to talk about anything about the game in this board, and to comment on stuff in opened board.

[Jean-Robert Bellande]

So does anyone have any questions or anything? I'd like to ask Erik what the clues to the Hidden Immunity Idol were (they might be posted somewhere in a confessional thread, but I haven't gotten through it all yet).

[Jean-Robert Bellande]

Oh, and where on Earth did this "JR's got an idol" thing start? And how did everyone still think I had one at the Final Five, when I had already been bombarded by votes at like three previous tribal councils (and would presumably have used it by then)? I saw that Erik was thinking I may have had it because at one point I volunteered to switch tribes... is that how it started, or is there more to the story?

[Ashley]

i have no freaking idea, i swear to god, u sprayed pixie dust on everyone, i knew u didn't have it so i kept votin for u, but no one else would cus of the stupid rumor

[Frosti Zernow]

Yeah, Erik fill us in on how you won the HII. I don't think anyone but Jaime knew you had it!

And, JR, the funniest thing for me was when you told me you thought Chicken had the HII because at the same time, I'm getting PMs from Chicken saying you probably had it. I figured one of you had to be right! But no. All that time Erik had it.

[Frosti Zernow]

Oh, I remembered something I wanted to ask - who came up with the women's alliance idea? If not for Jaime's late vote, everything would have been so different! Final Four of PG, Jaime, Ashley and Courtney. PG wins the last immunity and who goes? Jaime - figuring she's a threat at the end? That would have been interesting...

[Jaime Dugan]

I gave Erik the clue when I switched tribes and he got it right away... I dont remember what the clue was but he told me in the PM after he got it.

UHHH!!! Will I ever live past the late vote? *sigh*, I swear I am going to sue the power company......Yeah things would have been wayy different, who knows what would have happened. I would like to say I would had another good chance at winning had I made it to the final 3..... thats if they didnt see that and got rid of me at final 4

[Erik Huffman]

As you already expected, Jaime has given you the idol clues. At this point, there are 2 clues for the Zhan Hu idol:


Clue #1: The password to get into the idol board is a 6 digit number using the numbers 1 thru 6

Clue #2: The last digit is a 2

This was the PM from Jon about the HII Clues.

I just planned to use EVERY number combination to find that Idol. haha. And I found it on my 10th try. I was so shocked and excited. Haha.

Frosti. XP I got you to change your post to Jaime so I could get those clues. Then I gave you fake clues. Did you ever figure out I gave you fake clues? Lol. Prolly not. Haha.

Yeah JR. I learned that you volunteered to come over to a Zhan Hu majority. And you know going into a tribe where you're on the minority just didnt make sense to me UNLESS you had a backup plan. Which was an HII to use on us cause you were obviously the strongest on Fei Long. So, you almost went home that round. When you never played the idol that round I knew you didnt have it. xP

[Steve "Chicken" Morris]

I can't believe how everyone pretty much screwed over everyone in this game!! It was cut throat!!

I'm also pretty surprised that JR and Frosti weren't as close as I thought they were...


I can't wait to play you all again in All Stars. I mean everybody's gonna be suspicious of everybody!! Those Thailand and Outback people better watch out!! (Well except for the people from China who played in those )

[Jean-Robert Bellande]

Haha... yeah, seriously, I have no idea how anyone's going to want to form an alliance with anyone else in All-Stars...

...except Erik and Jaime, of course! ;D

And Chicken, what makes you say that Frosti and I weren't as close as you thought? I think you're probably right, but I'm just curious.

[Frosti Zernow]

Oh, I don't know. After the merge, you were definitely the person I was most closely aligned with, JR.

You know the turning point of the game was when you sent me that long ass PM and poured your guts out. Without that I wouldn't have totally trusted you the way I did. That was a gutsy move.

[Jean-Robert Bellande]

Sorry, a typo I made ("though" instead of "thought") totally changed the meaning of my question... haha. I've fixed it now. I was just asking why Chicken thought you (Frosti) and I weren't as close as he initially thought... I wasn't implying that you were closer with Chicken than you were with me.

And yeah, sending you that massive PM was definitely the turning point of my game. I clearly saw that my hopes of forming a majority with me as the leader was gone, since you guys had the majority after the merge and Dave was about to go. My only hope was to try to cling on to the Zhan Hu alliance, and you were the one person with whom I had a decent relationship before that, so I went to you with the info. I was definitely hoping that at some point there would be a coup in the Zhan Hu alliance, and someone would need my vote. I needed your trust before that would work, so I decided to just tell you everything I knew, since I had nothing to lose.

For anyone that's interested, here's the PM Frosti and I are talking about. It was the moment when Frosti and I became allies, basically. It happened in between the tie vote in the last Fei Long TC and the re-vote when Dave left. Sorry for throwing you completely under the bus, Dave. Frosti PM'd me with a fairly innocuous question, like "Now that merge is here, what do you think is going to happen? Anyone in particular you want to get out? Or is it me still?". I replied with this novella:

Haha... nothing but love for ya, Frosti.

I'm going to level with you here, and give you an answer that is way longer and more detailed than you probably expected.

I've had a deal with Dave for a long time now. Aside from the fact that you had previous votes against you, the reason why we targeted you that one time was because Dave thought it was a good idea, and I was left doing all the hard work in trying to get the votes. Right now, it looks like he's toast unless something really weird happens in the re-vote. But the news is that I'm glad to see him go. As I'm sure you know (because he's mentioned your name more than once), Dave has been trying to make alliances with absolutely everybody since the beginning of the game. As I once wrote in one of my confessionals, he's desperately trying to be a strategic mastermind. But he's now proven to me that not only is he trying to play all sides against each other, he's not as smart strategically as he'd like to think he is.

His big plan over at Fei Long was to try and get Peih-Gee to join him and Leslie in voting out Courtney. This came after I'd told Dave time and again that Courtney would be someone that we might be able to work with after the merge. But no, Dave went crazy and told me that he had convinced PG - but, lo and behold, Peih-Gee ultimately votes for Dave and now Dave looks like an idiot and a jerk for trying to slam Courtney for not voting due to legitimate personal reasons. So to make a long story short, if Dave isn't gone by the end of the re-vote, I want him gone soon thereafter. Dave signed Leslie up to play the game, and they're really close, so Leslie can't be far behind.

Look, I know that you, Erik and Jaime have some kind of thing going... I obviously don't know all the details, but I doubt it's a coincidence that you're pretty much always voting together. I also know that Ashley is along for the ride to at least some degree. Interesting fun fact: when I tried to vote you out (oops... my bad ;D) I was working on Ashley to try and get her vote. She said, and I quote:

"sry, we were targeting denise and i couldn't pass up the offer, she screwed me over last season and i couldn't take the chance of that happenin again, i really wanted denise gone, had they targeted u, i may have reconsidered, but yeh hopefully we can work together in the furture, i jus really wanted denise/kel gone"

So basically, she was perhaps willing to screw you guys over but wanted to exact revenge on Denise more. I have no idea why I'm telling you all this stuff, but screw it, I'm sick of playing the game with a bunch of liars who try to play everybody without their knowledge. Other fun and exciting stuff you may not know:

- Todd had/has a deal with Dave, but like me he eventually saw the light and doesn't trust him at all anymore.
- Sherea and Peih-Gee were almost assuredly the same person playing under two different names. At one point, Sherea sent a PM to Todd and accidently ended the message by referring to herself as Peih-Gee (it might have been the other way around... I don't remember). Jonathan approached PG about this, and while she didn't admit that they were the same person, after that conversation Sherea was never heard from again... that's likely why she became inactive.
- Chicken as at least one and probably two of the clues to the hidden Immunity idol. He received the very first clue from Todd, and probably received a second one from him as well, since I didn't receive it when Todd was stolen by Fei Long a couple of cycles back. As a result of this, Todd and Chicken had some sort of deal, though I haven't heard anything about it recently.

So that's that. Hope that was all fun and informative. As I hope this all proves, I'm a fairly trustworthy guy and I'm pretty good at keeping my ears open. Keep that in mind if you ever need some help. Take care,

Jean-Robert

And by the way, I told Frosti about the Sherea/PG thing before Dave posted about it, and I've since changed by mind... I believe Peih-Gee when she says that they aren't the same person.

[Peih-Gee Law]

Thank God.

Oh my god, that was retarded. lol. Sherea WOULD end up going inactive at that exact time. x.x

I still am waiting for Jonathan to announce that our IP addresses are different...lol
