Marcus's Jury Questions

[Marcus]

Congratulations, you two on making it all the way to the end! I'm really happy for both of you because I really wanted both of you to do amazingly and you have. I know you both outside this game which didn't play a huge role into the gameplay but just that I know you both are great people and made it all the way to the end congrats.

Russell: You were an amazing ally from challenge three and you know you were my closest ally from that point on. Although we didn't help each other a lot in challenges since I mostly was working with Ethan for those, you and I talked about the game and what we wanted to do. I wanted you to make it so far because you didn't always play for yourself. You allowed others to have the win even with your work so you're selfless but yet you're a great competitor. You really laid under the radar but mostly made it this far on allies and social game. You won a challenge when you needed it most and I really commend you for it and say you deserve your spot in the finals.

Tracy: You and I were on opposite sides for pretty much the entire game. We didn't let the game come between us though since we still talked on a regular basis about other things. I believe that you've come through so much being from the majority to the minority and being the underdog but took the some of the strongest players in the game out (like Ethan and Silas). You truly deserve your spot in the finals, there is no doubt about that. You really came out of left field and turned the game around and I believe with Russell on your side you and him became unstoppable.

1) How has each juror made your game better AND worse strategy wise?
2) Do you believe that both of your UTR game worked to your advantage since you never made yourselves big targets in challenges until the end?
3) I want both of you to list people on the jury (including yourselves) and how they fit the person they picked to play, in character and/or gameplay.
4) What is your proudest move in this game? What is your least proud?
5) Who's removal from the game really turned the game in your favor?
6) Name at least three reasons why you deserve more gems than your fellow finalist.
7) Tell me at least one positive and negative aspect of each juror.
8) If you were me, how would you divide up my gems?

[Russell]

1) How has each juror made your game better AND worse strategy wise?

Sugar: Better of course. She drew a huge target onto herself. Who wouldn't think that would be better for their own game?

Kelly: Better! People often forget that Kelly was with Silas, Ethan and Marcus oh and Brett but also betrayed them Yes? Well anyway, her Betrayal, like Sugar, took attention away from me again. So I liked it.


Ace: Better because he said he wouldn't vote against me. Worse because although we had a semi-alliance and I did what I could by being honest with Silas, Marcus and Ethan that I wanted to keep him around if at all possible... and then the jerk didn't tell me he was obviously in a more solid alliance with Tracy, thus giving his gem to her when he was executed. Jerk!

Rocky: Better when I found out HE TOO was willing to vote out Jerri. It made my move to Team Silas that much easier AND Better when he didn't want to go against Sugar thus creating a target on himself. Thanks Rocky! I felt that your move on working to keep Sugar solidified me with Team Silas better. Worse when he didn't want to vote out Sugar, I wanted to work with Rocky from a very early part of this game but never stated this to anyone outside of my confessional. When Rocky switched to voting out Jerri I was hopeful that I could make a solid alliance with him. When he chose to not vote out Sugar though, I realized that we would never work together, because I wouldn't make myself vulnerable at that point with Team Silas still intact and I had confidence that Team Silas would keep on winning.

Ethan: Better because he kept me protected when he won challenges. Exactly what I wanted him to do when I switched to Team Silas, the challenge winning group.... Worse because I knew he wouldn't take me farther then final five with Team Silas so therefore making me have to scamper to solidify myself more.

Marcus: Better because he was the only person I actually trusted to tell anything to. Therefore he was the only one I felt confident enough to tell him about my impending betrayal to Team Silas. Worse because he pretty much wanted to quit the game when Ethan was up for execution and I really needed him to remain in the game and work just as hard as he did before Ethan was getting the boot. He didn't and therefore left, which left me to rely solely on Tracy.

Silas: Better because like Ethan, when he won I got protection from him which was exactly what I hoped to have happen when switching sides from Team Sugar to Team Silas. Worse because he wasn't trustworthy of me, I felt, and probably for good reasons but know this Silas, I wouldn't have ever betrayed you or anyone if I felt like I was going to get further then number five with you. You never made me a final three deal, that I recall anyway and your paranoia bugged the crap out of me.

Brett: Better because I felt like I could actually beat him in a challenge. FINALLY! He was on his own and very beatable. Sorry Brett but having all the comp people leave your alliance worked better for me. Worse because once again, I had no real alliance with him and knew that his group would rather take him over me. Which was fine but I didn't understand it at the time.


2) Do you believe that both of your UTR game worked to your advantage since you never made yourselves big targets in challenges until the end? I have no idea what UTR is... are you talking about my Uterus? I have no Uterus! I'm Russell!!! Ohhh under the radar! I don't think I was going under the Radar Marcus. It's not my fault that you all worked together, excluding me, so that you all insured that you won every challenge. Even though I was part of Team Silas, you have to admit... I really wasn't PART of team Silas. Or that is my general feeling anyway and like I've told you a ton of times... One person really doesn't have a chance to win when 4 other people are working together to insure their own win. Well maybe three other people, or even two. But come on, I went to you for help one time on a challenge and you actually acted like you couldn't be bothered... so that's what I mean about "not really being a part of Team Silas" But I think me switching to vote out Jerri and Sugar pretty much was a bold move that made me kind of stand out and piss some people off.

3) I want both of you to list people on the jury (including yourselves) and how they fit the person they picked to play, in character and/or gameplay.

No, I'm not going to answer this, not after your first question. Sorry I'm not a trained monkey willing to jump through hoops with this question. And I can't even tell you how similarity these fake Survivor people played the Real survivor people. I mean come on... Seriously? Stephenie wasn't the last in her alliance so where should I start comparing there? Next...

4) What is your proudest move in this game? What is your least proud?

Proudest move in the game was going to Tracy and saying 'Hey, we have nothing to lose... let's work together and see if we can get further and if we can't win, well both of us are gone anyway lol" It was a risk and it paid off! Least proudest? I don't know. I guess I don't have any. I've thoroughly enjoyed the game.

5) Who's removal from the game really turned the game in your favor?

Ethan I think. Thanks Tracy! He was obviously the smartest one to get rid of... Thanks Tracy.... since he was the competition king. I think the playing field leveled greatly with him gone.

6) Name at least three reasons why you deserve more gems than your fellow finalist.

Umm... I participated in this game from start to finish. I think I only missed one challenge, maybe two... which I couldn't control either times. I made moves in the game that were selfish for me and only me. And ummm... I'm a smooth talker and quite sexy.

7) Tell me at least one positive and negative aspect of each juror.

Are you fucking kidding me you jackass punk bitch!
Isn't this similar to your first question?

Kelly: I don't know a positive... her avatar was one of the better ones.... and um negative... I don't really know since I never really talked to her outside of the betrayal chat. I thought she was on team Silas so I had no reason to talk to her and I didn't have a reason to her afterward either.

Sugar: Positive/She did make the game interesting because so many people were quite dull, which in turn drew attention to her as a bigger threat! Negative/When it comes to this game, I don't really have a negative to say about Sugar. It just didn't' work out for us to really make it work. I can't list a negative that made my end result what it is right now.

Rocky: Positive was his sense of fabulous humor. I loved IT! Negative.... his sense of humor. He was wittier then me and I don't like the competition.

Ethan: Postive, I think he loved the game just as much. Negative, he was a competition whore who really needed to go on birth control. Thank Goodness for Dr. Tracy when she gave him an Rx and thus ending his competition reign.

Marcus: He um, well he's pissing me off with these questions so nothing positive and negative... this questions. Jackass!

Silas: He's so handsome but not as handsome as me... and Negative... anger and paranoia.

Brett: Positive? Now this guy is a real looker. So cute Brett! Negative? He didn't really participate on the level that I would have liked. I loved this game! Even if I didn't win many challenges there weren't a lot of moments I didn't like. LOL. Thanks Deet! Loved this game and 99% of your challenges!

8) If you were me, how would you divide up my gems? All seven to me of course! Do you really need to think about that? I mean come on... after what went on in the men's room between us, you'd think you would owe me all seven. Tracy could never do you for what I did. I seriously don't care how you deal with your gems but knowing you... you'll probably split them as fair as you possibly can in order to not make waves.

[Tracy]

Hiya Marcus, thanks for the congrats and great to see you again




1) How has each juror made your game better AND worse strategy wise?
I honestly don't believe the jury had any impact on my game strategy wise. I can get into an overall game aspect if you want though.............


2) Do you believe that both of your UTR game worked to your advantage since you never made yourselves big targets in challenges until the end?
I dont' believe I was UTR at all. Silas and I were very explosive on the board with each other lol I was never quiet and made lots of friends. Who in turn gave me gems that protected me, hence why i wasn't a target.


3) I want both of you to list people on the jury (including yourselves) and how they fit the person they picked to play, in character and/or gameplay.
First let me start with.........................gameplay will be a lot harder to dictate since this is Cops & Robbers and NOT Survivor, but I WILL try my best.
Russell - I think he played him in character nicely, well, the real Russell kept most his snarky comments for his confessionals but he had them. I think this Russell's gameplay was different though because I think he's smarter than the real Russell.
Tracy (myself) - Tracy was in a losing situation from the get-go. She aligned with people who were in the minority. She made a couple of ground breaking moves and knew how to get shit done. I feel like I made some ground breaking moves in the game as well. And while the real Tracy was finally eliminated after all her allies were gone, I was able to stay ahead due to gems since this is Cops & Robbers as I said above.
Brett - Both quiet and cute. Won to save Silas when the win was needed. We both knew he'd win just for being Brett.
Silas - I actually think that their perceived personalities are similar. Now, I dont' know either of the Silas's in real life, but from what I saw on the board and on the show, both didnt' like being on the losing end of the game and both liked to dictate what was going to happen, and if someone didn't do as they said, they got pretty mad.
Marcus - Sadly, I dont' remember much about the real Marcus. Which is odd cause i can tell you all about Kel Gleason, who I truly believed the jokers was a mute since he didn't speak the whole first episode. And then was eliminated the second episode. I remember that Marcus's penis fell out of his pants during a challenge. OH he was friends with Corinne the most volatile person in the game, this Marcus was also aligned with the most volatile person in the game.........Silas lol I think he was dedicated to his allies which you were as well.
Ethan - Ethan is one of my favorite Survivor winners ever. He was nice, strong, likeable, and a threat to win. The Ethan in this game was exactly the same way. Very strong, and very nice, and didnt' hold a grudge. I probably would've voted for him hands down had he made the end.
Rocky - I dont' think the Rocky's are anything alike and let me say why of course...............I really adore the Rocky in this game. He was nice, and strong, and knew what side to be on when he needed to be on it. The real Rocky, not so much with the brains or heart lmao
Sugar - nothing like the real Sugar. This Sugar is not lame or clingy and is stragically the smartest person you could ever play with.
Kelly - I dont' feel that this Kelly is anything like the real Kelly because she's strong when she needs to be and not a jerk, well............................lol


4) What is your proudest move in this game? What is your least proud?
Proudest - Taking out Ethan. Although I kind of had to talk myself into it and talk to Russell to make sure I should do it, it was the best move I could've ever made.
Least Proud - Fighting with Silas on the board. I should never have faught with him. It just made things harder emotionally.


5) Who's removal from the game really turned the game in your favor?
Well, I'd say Rocky because that's when Russell came to me BUT it wasnt' Rocky's removal that caused that, it was the protection distribution that caused that, so I will go with Ethan's removal. Had I not taken his gems and removed him from the game, he might have kicked my ass from then on out and I wouldnt' be sitting here.


6) Name at least three reasons why you deserve more gems than your fellow finalist.
1. I'm prettier
2. I smell nice
3. I was a bigger underdog?
I honestly cannot give you three reasons why i DESERVE anything more than anyone. I kind of hate that word. Did I win more challenges? Yes, but challenges aren't the basis for everything that happens in these games. And we helped each other in a couple of challenges that we both won so overall, I fell all our challenge wins were both our wins. They protected us to the very end. I think if you play a solid game you are deserving, and I feel we both played a solid game.


7) Tell me at least one positive and negative aspect of each juror.
I will do negative than positive for each juror
Brett - too quiet
- nice guy
Silas - volatile
- strong leader
Marcus - loyal
- loyal (yes they are both positive and negative, trust me, i've been there myself)
Ethan - quiet (i'm grasping on this one because i have nothing negative to say about Ethan but since we only talked at the end, I'll say quiet)
- strong at challenges
Rocky - sorry got nothing to put here and this isnt' for his jury gems, honestly, i have nothing to put here
- strong
Sugar - headstrong, not always bad, but sometimes can be
- strong leader
Kelly - (based on THIS game) weak
- loving


8) If you were me, how would you divide up my gems?
6 to Tracy
1 to Russell
The question asks if I were you, so that is what I would do lmao

[Marcus]

Oops, number two was meant to be a different questions since I wrote those awhile back just making random questions until I switched them out for different ones and apparently I guess I didn't change it. Oh well.......

[Marcus]

Thanks for answering my questions both of you! Good luck to the both of you, may the best person win!

[Tracy]

Did you want me to do #1 on overall game? Or am I good?

I just meant how did each juror affect your gameplay, did you have to find ways to take certain people out and how, etc. I just wanted to see your game play but it doesn't matter really because what you give me is what I'm going to be using so if you leave anything out it just won't go into my thought process.
