Purple Kelly's Questions

[Jeff Probst]

This is where Purple Kelly will post her Questions !

[Kelly Shinn]

First of, I would like to congratulate all three of you for making the final three. You guys got here somehow deserving or not. So good job! I'm glad to see three La Flor boys in the end and glad to see our tribe was the best tribe ever this season ♥! Now here is the tough part, my questions, please think about these thoughtfully. I don't want a short answer, I want an indepth honest answer, one I can remember and be enthralled by.

Let's start with Chase: What makes you a better player than Tyrone? What was your biggest move in this game?

Now, Shannon: Why do you deserve to be here? Do you think you floated to the end? And do you think going to the final three with Chase and Tyrone was smart?

And finally, Tyrone: Aside from winning immunity, what makes you a good player? Do you think Chase and Shannon deserve to be here?


ALL THREE OF YOU: Compare the jury, and you finalists to Survivors from the actual show. And if you were not sitting here, which three players do you think deserve to be sitting here? Why did you screw me in the end? And no, I don't want the whole bullshit of my word to everyone in this game - because that's not an answer and if you give me that answer I won't be voting for you to win.


ENJOY ♥ XOXO

Aside from winning immunity, what makes you a good player? Do you think Chase and Shannon deserve to be here?

Hey Kelly!

Aside from winning immunities, I think my social game and strategic game also make me a good player. The people I was able to talk to when I could catch them on AIM, I believe I was able to establish good bonds with people and keep the lines of communication open. At merge, Dan and I developed a bond as I found him a cool, trustworthy guy and we kept tabs with each other. I was also always thinking of what to do in the game to help further myself and how.

Early in the game, Jill, Kelly B, and Jane went and that wasn't really bad. After that, I had a bond with Jimmy J, so if it weren't for him quitting, somebody else would have gone. I always made plans for later in the game, but Jimmy J quitting threw a bit of a wrench in my plan so I adjusted on the fly. I made a deal with Chase to watch each others back no matter what, later at merge I finalized a deal with Shannon to ensure I'd have people that won't vote me out cause people always say I'm a threat and vote me out.

I also made sure to keep the lines open between me and you, and Fabio, I wanted us to be the final 5 and if things were to change or if I suspected Chase and/or Shannon had other plans I would try working with you and Fabio, but that never happened as Fabio lost in a tiebreaker (I still don't know who had that one throwaway vote that round) but we were able to regain control and find our way to the final 4 and then the 3 for myself, Chase and Shannon.

I think I have played a well all around game and made sure I did what I had to do to get to the end and was always thinking, which makes me a good player in my mind.

As for Chase and Shannon deserving it, I am not going to badmouth them and say they don't, because quiet honestly, any one of us from the final 4 deserved to make it, we all played our own games that got us here. Granted some people were more of a threat along the way, but making it this far, whoever makes it deserves it and nobody can take that away.

[Tyrone Davis]

I will work on the other part in a bit

[Shannon Elkins]

Shannon: Why do you deserve to be here? Do you think you floated to the end? And do you think going to the final three with Chase and Tyrone was smart?

Hi PK

I deserve to be here because I think I played the best game I could've played, Socially, Challenge-wise and Strategically. I don't think I floated to be honest with you. Even though I was in the La Flor alliance in the majority, I didn't feel safe when it came to the vote, in Survivor you have to be prepared for everything, a blind-side or a twist, so I was always making moves, talking to people, doing my best at challenges, I was always in the game.

As for Chase and Tyrone, they're both great people and they also did their best at challenges and I'm happy that I kept my word and we're here in the end

Thanks PK, hope this answers your questions

[Shannon Elkins]

I need some time to work on the other question too haha

Why did you screw me in the end? And no, I don't want the whole bullshit of my word to everyone in this game - because that's not an answer and if you give me that answer I won't be voting for you to win.

I believe where you finish in a game reflects on what type of game you played so I will go with that.

12th - Holly: I compare Holly's game play from what I saw to Colby from the Original All-Stars. Both were well-liked players who were taken out for being strong threats. They both, in my opinion felt they were in control, but they were ultimately too big of threats in challenges and were well-liked by the people around them. The classic voted out early for being too strong.

11th - Jimmy T: His game play was reminiscent of a Kelly Shaurbaugh to me, mainly because we were never on the same tribe and I did not see much from him other then that people told me he did whatever Holly said, and Kelly S on Samoa the good girl who would quietly just stay under the radar and vote how you want. Jimmy went for the same reasons Kelly did in Samoa, the nice person who coasted under the radar and could have easily snuck their way to the finals.

10th - Na Onka: Na Onka, I would compare to Shii-Ann from Thailand. They were both strong social competitors and made people laugh with their comments. Nay would crack a few jokes here and there that would make us laugh, and I remember a conversation I had with her that wasn't about the game where I was literally laughing my ass off. Also, I was hearing Nay might have wanted me out (if it's true or not, I am not sure, I apologize to Nay if not, but I had to act just to be safe) so if it was true, then it would be like how Shii-Ann tried making deals with the other tribe during the "fake" merge which got her out.

9th - Fabio: Nathan Gonzalez, who is actually one of my favorite survivors ever. Fabio, from the pm's we exchanged was a laid back, funny dude, just like Nate. He may not come off as someone who was playing the game, much like Nate, but he sure as hell was. The circumstances leading to Fabio's departure, idk what happened, who threw that one vote away to cause the tie, much like how the Raro alliance felt when Nate was blindsided cause of Penner. Wasn't the same way, but both alliances, in Fabio and Nate's case didn't know what just happened when he left.

8th - Sash: I would compare him to Candice from Heroes vs. Villains. Both of them flipped on their original tribe at merge and helped make a good move or two, but later ended up paying for it by getting voted off too. I think this comparison falls perfectly too, both got 8th place, both turned on their former tribe but ended up suffering the same fate.

7th - Yve: Monica from Samoa. They both left leaving a bang. Monica tried to stir things up and cause Russell's ouster but it was a case of too little too late, while in this game Yve tried to point out me and Chase getting to the end and tried to stir things up like that, however, they both had the case of too little to late and were voted out.

6th - Dan: Erik Huffman. Both of them were real gentleman in the game and presented themselves in a manner that showed it. Dan represented himself well, and was trustworthy. They were both respectable of others and would not compromise their characters for a game, had they gotten to the end, both of them, they were real strong candidates to win the game. Unfortunately, Dan self voted twice in a row that led to his departure.

5th - Benry: I am using Colby again, this time from Heroes vs. Villains, because his game plan was different each season he played, and in Heroes vs. Villains he was the last Hero left, just like how Benry was the last Espada left. They also went out with class, knowing they are going, and had a stress free round. They knew they were going and did not harbor any ill feelings toward anyone. They went out with their heads held high and both were last man standing from their respective original tribes.

4th - Purple Kelly: I would compare you to Jenn Lyon from Palau. Both of you were real sweethearts, who got along with everyone. Everybody loved you, nobody was annoyed with you during the game. Had both of you gotten to the end, hands down you'd have won, and it goes for both you and Jenn. People were just drawn to you and you were the lovable but smart, charming and dangerous in every way too.

Shannon: Ian. Both of them were strong in challenges and although Shannon did not win as many immunities, he was always in the heat of the fight. I remember in the posting challenges my biggest concern in those challenges would be Shannon and I'd keep an eye on him to see how he was doing cause he'd always give me a run for my money. They were both also very loyal and likable. I am glad I aligned with him.

Chase: I am actually going to compare him to Chase from the real show. I feel like he did a great job portraying him and played much like him. Both nice, smart, knowledgeable guys. Both had idols and would always be there to talk about the votes. Also very strong in challenges and great allies.

Tyrone: I would compare myself to JT. We were both viewed as threats, and just having read Na Onka's statement, it's clear to me y'all wanted me out early in the game for the reasons you had whatever they may be, but here I sit before you. I played a strong physical and social game, I won immunities, I made sure to keep the lines of communication open with a majority of the players and did what I had to, to get to the end. Some of you might not like me getting to the end if what Na Onka said was right, but I did it and I ask you judge who played the better game and beat the odds to make it to where I did, rather then let your emotions vote. If La Flor truly did hate me and wanted me out, which Na Onka made blatantly clear, you guys could have easily teamed up on me and voted me out at merge, but that didn't happen and I sit here.

I will admit, it does kinda eat away at me that I felt I could trust y'all but in reality y'all wanted me out each and every round, so that's actually changing how I feel about some people if it does indeed turn out to be true, I guess we'll see.

Anyways, moving on to your other question.

Deserving wise, if Me, Shannon and Chase were not sitting here I think the 3 deserving players would be, 1) Purple Kelly, 2) Holly and 3) Dan. Nothing to take away from the others but I believe you 3 were playing smart, and were playing true to yourselves. You didn't change who you guys were or anything, you let your personalities help you make allies and further your game and I applaud a strategy like that. Kelly, as I have said before, your a sweetheart, anyone can see that and you deserve to be sitting in the final 3 just as much as we do. Dan, was a real gentleman and man of his word, I have the utmost respect for him as a player and a person. And lastly, Holly. She may have been the first person out, but I could tell she was real nice and people were drawn to her. She literally was like a mother figure from what I could tell of her and she seemed to be in control for the most part until merge hit and a few people flipped.

As for your last question Kelly, I know you don't want to hear it, but PART and I emphasize PART, because it was partly a reason for you going, was that I had the deal made with Shannon and Chase, I just was not sure if they were still good on it. But the other part, and the major factor in you getting the votes was because you A) did not piss any of the jury off, B) played a strong, smart social and strategic game, while also doing well in the competitions and we all felt if you got to the end, hands down you would have won. So a major factor in you going other then my word to the other 2 was because you were such a threat in our opinion.

I hope that answers your question Kelly, thanks and good luck with your decision. If you have any more questions, ask away.

[Shannon Elkins]

Well if Chase, Tyrone and myself where not in the final 3, the 3 players that would be sitting here in my opinion are:

1) PK
2) Benry
3) NaOnka

I think they all played an amazing game, socially and strategically as well in challenges and I got to know them pretty well during the game so yeah those are my reasons

Well Kelly, the reason you were voted out, and I wouldn't use the phrase "the reason we screwed you" because that's not the case. I think that in a way you played a very great social game and that there was a good chance you would probably sweep up the votes.

Ok now for each jury member and finalist....


HOLLY - Brendan from Tocantins, big competitor and also well-liked but was voted out early in the merge due to being a threat

JIMMY T - I was thinking Kelly S from Samoa, because we didn't see that much from her in her season and we didn't hear that much from him here

NAONKA - Courtney from China/HvV, they are both fun and always had us laughing, she also was a competitor and did her best

FABIO - Matty from Gabon, he's like the down to earth guy who you could trust.

SASH - Burton from the Pearl Islands. Not the part of the outcast because that's not true, but was a good strategist in my opinion and also very physical

YVE - Debbie from Tocantins. She was well-liked and although she seemed under the radar, she was always fighting

DAN - I would say actually Dan from Nicaragua. He wasn't that physical at challenges, but he was well-liked and nice to have him around

BENRY - Aras from Exile island. So I picked Aras because he was a good at challenges and also he was fun to have around.

PURPLE KELLY - Taj from Tocantins. I mean come on, she was such a sweet heart and great to have around, that is PK right there.

TYRONE - Tom from Palau. Tom was a great strategist, as well as a physical threat, he was always making moves and remained loyal to his alliance all the way.

CHASE - Chase from Nicaragua. 100% I felt like I was actually talking to Chase from the real show, a good person and a physical player. The only difference between the real one and this Chase is that this Chase was not wishy-washy

SHANNON - Well I would actually pick Earl Cole from Fiji. Yeah he didn't win challenges and Fiji wasn't the best season of all hahah but Earl was fun and he was a true player, he was a fighter and did his best

Thanks Kelly again and I hope this answers all your questions

[Chase Rice]

What makes you a better player than Tyrone? What was your biggest move in this game?

Because even if I wasn't immune, and even if my name came up for the vote, I made sure I didn't go home. I've always covered all the bases, communicating with people, making sure votes go as planned, making sure people will follow through but I always did it in a subtle way, I never was in your face with anyone but I always made it known that I wanna be involved in the decision making process and that people can trust me and tell me whatever they want and not worry that I was gonna run to everyone else and tell them all of it. I was able to unite LaFlor about who to vote out rather than going at each other which would have caused us at merge. And I was able to keep Tyrone from being the target whenever someone would bring up his name.

My biggest move in the game was getting rid of Holly. Holly was a huge threat at merge because I felt like people would just listen to whatever she has to say and she was kinda intimidating in a way. Also since she was voted the most trusted from her tribe it was apparent that people would see her as the go-to person so when I had the opportunity to take her out, I jumped on it and got rid of her.

ALL THREE OF YOU: Compare the jury, and you finalists to Survivors from the actual show.
Holly - Marty - Holly like Marty, was a big strategist, and a hell of a player. One thing similar to Marty with her was that sometimes she came on too strong with her ideas that she didn't really care to notice if people wanted what she wants. But I totally respect strategic players like her just that I didn't want one too many strategists left in the game.

Jimmy T - Kelly Sharbaugh - he was perceived as Holly's right hand man. Just like Kelly S was perceived as Laura's most valuable ally. They were also both pretty quiet but somehow formidable.

NaOnka - Brenda - she was the Brenda to my Chase. We really worked well together and I believe she had great ideas and strategies. But people caught on to her and wanted her out because they felt like she was becoming such a threat.

Fabio - Tyson - he reminded me of Tyson when Tyson accidentally got himself voted out in HvV. Fabio is also a cool guy to be with and easy to talk to. I think he just got voted out because of miscommunication and like Tyson that became the end of him.

Sash - Sean Kenniff - Like Sean, I'm not really sure if I knew what goes on in his head. He voted his way and just did things in his own special way. He was cool to talk to but he was just too hard to read. Like Sean's ABC vote, I just think that Sash didn't really wanna ruffle any feathers.

Yve - Shii Ann - Like Shii Ann, Yve was a fighter and was not afraid to call out the threats in the game. Shii Ann did this in Allstars and she was even able to outlast one other member from Chapera before she got voted out. Yve was strong in the challenges and was not afraid to stand up and state her opinions.

Dan - Bob - I think he resembles Bob from Gabon a lot. He was very respectable, he was very upfront, and he was very loyal and honest. I don't think I can say anyone was more honest than Dan. He was just an incredible guy and I think Bob was such an incredible and very noble man on the show.

Benry - Brett - he is the Brett of this game. He was nice and quiet but you know that he can bring his A-game when he wants to. He was the last standing Espada from his tribe and just got voted out for being the odd man out.

PK - Natalie White - you were just so nice and friendly to everyone in the game. and I think had you gotten to the end you would have won the game for not ruffling any feathers and all.

Shannon - Mick - He was strong and prominent pre-merge and then kinda laid low and laid back during merge since Tyrone and I were basically hogging all the immunity wins lol. He's a nice guy and was also very loyal and stayed true to what he said.

Tyrone - Fabio - He is most like Fabio in a sense that he had fun in this game and that he was loyal to an alliance. He was also strong in the challenges and was deemed a threat for that.

Chase - Tom - I feel like I was more of a Tom because of how I was always in the know on what was going on. I usually base my decisions on what people tell me of what they were gonna do. I became the glue to a tribe that would have gone against each other but I was able to pull them all together to work with each other instead. I was able to win challenges and proved myself that I was not just any other person each round trying to survive and just following with the flow. I made my opinions heard and yet not come on as strong and intimidating and let them know that I can be their go-to man when they need something or say something they don't want others to know.

And if you were not sitting here, which three players do you think deserve to be sitting here?
If it were not the three of us, I think the people that deserve to be here at the finale are
NaOnka, Holly and Dan.

Why did you screw me in the end? And no, I don't want the whole bullshit of my word to everyone in this game - because that's not an answer and if you give me that answer I won't be voting for you to win.
Because we never had a final 3 deal from the very beginning and I feel like you haven't really done anything wrong to anyone to the jury and you were a very nice and likable person. Also I always had doubts with you and didn't trust you completely because Tyrone said you knew I had the idol and was getting an opportunity to blindside me.

Thanks for your questions PK, and good luck with your decision

[Kelly Shinn]

Thank you boys! My vote has been casted good luck!
