NaOnka's Questions

[Jeff Probst]

This is where NaOnka will post her Questions !

[Naonka Mixon]

Thanks Jeff

Ok guys, congrats to all 3 of you, you really deserve to be where you are. I got nothin against any of the 3 of you, but I would like to clear up a couple of things with this speech.

Tyrone, I tried to get you voted out because I no longer trusted you. You tried to make a final 2 alliance with me back pre-merge and then the round Jimmy J quit, you went around telling everyone to vote me out and then we ended up not going to tribal council, but you were going to be voted out that round if Jimmy had not quit because socially, people just could not deal with you. You socialized so much that several of us would get together and compare notes and just talk about how on earth you thought we wouldnt get together and talk about what you were telling everyone. Every round except the first, the vote was between you and the person that ended up leaving. It was always, should we vote Jane or Ty? or KB or Ty?, so your name was always out there to go, its just that Jimmy quit so you got to stay......now my question.

The round that I left, you won the 2nd round of immunities, with a very high score posting in 2 minutes. (Clearly you used the cheat) but the round Fabio left he asked "how do you guys post so fast?" and you responded with

"ctrl + q
copy and paste
ctrl + s "

........now, 8 of us competed in that comp, and I do feel that most of us used that method, but I certainly do not believe that YOU used that method of posting. So whats the real story?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shannon- From what I saw you played really low key and really UTR, and I would like to know. What was your plan coming into the game and how did it change as the game went along? When people are in a majority alliance, there is a tendency for people to be like "well whatever the group wants is cool" so what specific moves that the 'group' made were you STRONGLY on board with, and pushed to make happen? (you didnt necessarily have to come up with it, cause you know how group stuff is where people just throw things out)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chase- You and I aligned day one even before you found the idol. And I did everything in my power to make sure that you got to stay in the game every round. Do you feel you did the same back to me?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone- Ok, just for fun. Please compare all the final 12 players to an animal and why, based on the combination of their personality and gameplay

[Naonka Mixon]

Shannon, if you didnt see. I editted your question since my question was addressed in your opening statement, so I just expanded on it.

[Tyrone Davis]

Hey Na Onka.

I had a feeling that was the case and that my name was always up for the votes, and well, if I'm still here I guess that speaks in volume how much more I accomplished in getting to where I have then doesn't it? From being almost voted out pre-merge each round to gaining control at merge and then getting you out and then being able to sit here. I think that's pretty damn good in my opinion.

As for the round you left, I did not use any cheats. Now whether you want to believe me or not, is up to you. Now other then using the:

"ctrl + q
copy and paste
ctrl + s "

I also made sure to go to my profile and turn all the images, avatars and signatures off (go check if you don't believe me, you can make it so no pictures display, thus increasing how fast the page loads for you. I also cleared all the cache and cookies on my history. The other factor in how fast I posted was A) The processing speed of my laptop, I have a 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 processor on my MacBook Pro which I have found is many times faster then what my PC did when I had one, and all those things combined with my broadband internet connection, which is 50 Mbps, made the pages load faster then a snap of a finger, so I posted as fast as I could by repeatedly just pressing those buttons, 115 posts in 2 minutes is not alot.

Break it down if you like, it's really three minutes.

2:00pm - around 40 posts
2:01pm - around 40 posts
2:02pm - around 40 posts

that is 180 seconds of posting, which equates to almost 40 posts a minute, which is nothing. Quite simply, there is no way to cheat, I have posted this fast before in other games, and if you still don't believe me, I have no problem posting again to show you. Now whether you believe me or not, that's up to you, your only going to believe what you want to, I've always been good at posting challenges, and it actually offends me that you said I cheated. But whatever, your call on what you want, I can't change your opinion. And please, by all means, enlighten me as to what "the cheat" is, I'm curious.

That's the real story.

I will answer the rest in a bit

[Naonka Mixon]

"The Cheat" is the common named used for the program that allows someone to remove all blocks on a proboards website and just hold down the left mouse button and have the site post like 10X the normal speed, I wasnt accusing you of cheating, its just referred to as "the posting cheat" so that is what I meant by it. Im aware of its existance and I know how to do it, I just dont really approve of people using it. So im sorry that it sounded like an accusation, I wasnt aware you didnt know about "the cheat"

[Tyrone Davis]

It's ok, and I would never download any program just to win one immunity for a game, that's just pathetic for anyone that does do that.

[Shannon Elkins]

Shannon- From what I saw you played really low key and really UTR, and I would like to know. What was your plan coming into the game and how did it change as the game went along? When people are in a majority alliance, there is a tendency for people to be like "well whatever the group wants is cool" so what specific moves that the 'group' made were you STRONGLY on board with, and pushed to make happen? (you didnt necessarily have to come up with it, cause you know how group stuff is where people just throw things out)

Hi NaOnka

Well my plan coming into the game was answered in my opening statement, be social, challenge-wise do my best and align myself with people that I knew I could trust. As the game progressed, my strategy didn't really changed, but what did change was the way I saw other people playing the game how they were transitioning round by round.
True, when people are in the majority there's a tendency to say "whatever you guys want is cool", and I won't lie I did that myself too. One of the moves that I remember correctly that I was STRONGLY on board with was the round that Holly go ousted. The original plan was to vote out Jimmy T, but then it became clear Holly was a bigger threat. Chase approached me with the idea and we agreed that Holly was the right choice

[Tyrone Davis]

Sorry Nay! It's Friday and I've been busy doing things in and out of the house, promise I will get to yours in a bit! I don't want to slack off and just give you one or two word responses.

[Tyrone Davis]

12 - Holly: Lion - Fierce competitor, other people were afraid of her like how animals are afraid of lions and she was the head honcho on her side, just like how the Lion is the King of the jungle.

11 - Jimmy T: Great pet, reliable, loyal, fun to have around and just makes your day. I feel Jimmy T was that person for whoever he was aligned with. Also, if it makes any difference, I love cats, lol.

10 - Na Onka: Jaguar: Fierce animal, and if it attacks you, watch out. Also very smart and resourceful, which you were. As Yve mentioned you were on to me and Chase and that shows you knew more then you let on in this game.

9 - Fabio: Monkey: Now Fabio, I don't want you to take this the wrong way at all! I find monkeys hilarious and I badly want one as a pet, they are just so much fun to be around and idk I just find them adorable. Always making you laugh and being there for you, and you my friend, were great at bringing up peoples spirits and always there.

8 - Sash: Snake: Not in terms of the backstabbing sense, although you could make an argument but Sash was a deadly player in my opinion. Like his apparent vendetta against Jimmy T. He had guts going for him round after round, showing he had the balls to do what he felt was right even though it might not work out, Sash was quiet and the type of player that could sneak up on you unexpectedly and bite you!

7 - Yve: Swann: Graceful, beautiful animal. Yve was playing the UTR strategy and doing it well, she could have gone further but her side was just being picked off, and I equate the UTR strategy and doing it well while still being a strong threat to being graceful which is why I compare Yve to a Swann.

6 - Dan: Penguin: I compare him to a penguin only because he was a real gentleman and I always envision penguins cause of their color wearing a suit, lol. I put those two together and see Dan, as he was a guy nobody could hate. Not to mention you could compare the penguin's wobble to Dan's gimpy knee haha

5 - Benry: Tiger: These animals have pride and aren't to be messed with. Benry was a smart player this game and wasn't one to give up. He kept on fighting until he was voted out and went out with his head held high and you gotta respect that about the guy.

4 - PK: Dolphin: VERY smart player and charming. People are drawn to Dolphins just like people were just drawn to PK this game. They both possess great intellectual ability and are more then just a pretty face

3 - Shannon: Horse: One of man's best friend. A horse is very loyal like how Shannon was very loyal to me this game. Great to be around and they always have your back.

2 and 1 - Chase and I : Shark: Frightening, smart, cunning, know how to survive and Chase knows how to survive, as do I. We would talk all the time about what to do and talk things out. We would make plans to get further in the game as best we could and it helped us as we had each others backs.

Hope that answers your question Nay. Thanks!

[Chase Rice]

Hello Nay, thanks i'll get to your question right away

Chase- You and I aligned day one even before you found the idol. And I did everything in my power to make sure that you got to stay in the game every round. Do you feel you did the same back to me?
Yes Nay, I believe I did everyone I can to make sure you weren't the vote. I touched bases with Fabio and Shannon about keeping to La Flor to vote Benry but you and PK wanted Dan gone and I didn't want to vote for him at that time. So that tribe you left just ended up in a lot of mess as all of us La Flor were split with Tyrone deciding to vote you out and Espada sticking together to vote you out too. But I wasn't also sure of that and with four people Immune and being too paranoid I decided to use the idol on myself to save myself from getting voted out which ended up not being the case.

[Chase Rice]

Everyone- Ok, just for fun. Please compare all the final 12 players to an animal and why, based on the combination of their personality and gameplay

12. Holly - Eagle - eagles are fierce and strong and always look after their young ones. Just like Holly who I felt like was the mother of her group.

11. Jimmy T - Cat - I would go with cat too. He was perceived as Holly's right hand man. Cats are always affectionate and would love to be close to their master.

10. NaOnka - Flamingo - I've always found NaOnka (the person playing meaning you) as flirtatious and sexy just like the Flamingo, it's just so beautiful with all that plumage. She was never afraid to voice out her opinions like a Flamingo who always keeps its head held high

9. Fabio - Pigeon - Fabio was like a homing pigeon. Because even though it was already an individual game I know Fabio still wanted to stick with La Flor all the way to the end. Like a homing pigeon who always comes back to its owner.

8. Sash - Osrtich - Like an Ostrich, Sash didn't really know what was going on most of the time. Ostriches usually stick their head in the ground and just don't really mind what was going on. So like an Ostrich, Sash usually just does his own thing and doesn't really mind what's going on.

7. Yve - Parrot - a parrot is someone who keeps repeating itself. Yve always kept repeating how much a threat Tyrone and I were. Also parrots are beautiful and they are actually nice pets. I think it would have been nice to have worked with Yve because I think she was a genuine person but it was just too late to make some kind of a deal with her when everything was already set in place.

6. Dan - Giraffe - Dan was like a giraffe, tall and noble. I have mad respect for this guy because he was one of the few who I knew was totally being honest with me. He was also one of the few who stood out the most from Espada in terms of likability and presence. You can't really miss Dan and not be able to talk to him because he was always ready to talk.

5. Benry - Camel - camel are animals who can withstand a sandstorm in a hot and humid desert and can even go on days without water as it is believed that the hump on his back becomes its source of sustainability. Just like a camel, Benry was the last one standing from his old Espada tribe and has withstand a lot of things to get to that point.

4. PK - Hamsters - really cute, furry animals. PK was always kind and very approachable and she was very likable. Just like hamsters who are always too cute and could prolly not do any harm. That was like PK.

Shannon - Dog - A man's bestfriend. Shannon was very loyal to me ever since somewhere before the merge when we did that 600 posting challenge thing. Like a dog, his loyalty was unwavering and he was always easy to talk to

Tyrone - Horse - Horses are a workforce, strong, agile and tamed. Tyrone was a workhorse, a beast at challenges and was always there to help out for the challenges. A horse usually doesn't leave its master and I felt like Tyrone was very close to me and never would have left my side.

Chase - Fox - Foxes are sly cunning and they actually look beautiful. I feel like I was viewed as smart and cunning all through out the game. I've always made the decisions that I feel would get me further down the road. I don't think I was that sly and devious but I never really showed my cards to anyone other than the people I was closest to in the game.

Thanks for your questions NaOnka and good luck with your decision

[Shannon Elkins]

12- Holly - Lion - Totally fierce competitor and many were afraid of you coming into the merge

11- Jimmy T - Cat, totally laid-back, not necessarily wondering around but he was loyal to his true folks

10- NaOnka - Rabbit - Rabbits are so cute and fun to have around and they are also pretty smart just like Nay, she represents herself that way in my opinion

9- Fabio- Woodpecker - Not the Woody Woodpecker type, but the woodpecker that is at times laid back and relaxed and in other he's totally in combat zone

8- Sash- Eagle - Mainly cause Eagles are always in the look-out to catch their prey, but Eagles are also gracious and I think Sash was both of these.

7- Yve - Snake - Snakes are usually under the radar but really they are in the fight and they are ready to win, I feel Yve represents that, and she doesn't represent the backstabbing part

6- Dan - Penguin - Penguin because he was a gentleman and I remember the first day of the merge he Pmed me and introduced himself which I thought was VERY cool. And come on? Who doesn't like to have a penguin around?

5- Benry - Monkey - A very fun animal, very strong and smart

4- PK - Dolphin - Dolphins are like men's best friend in the sea. PK was loving and smart and always did her best

3,2- Tyrone, Chase - Cheetah - I'm giving them the Cheetah because they were strong competitors and well, very fast in challenges Also they were great people who have each other's back

1- Shannon - Dog - I mean what? I love dogs!! hahah And I feel I represent what a dog is, loyal to his friend, fun and strong

[Naonka Mixon]

Im ready to make my decision. I have to go with my gut, but I just have to say I think all 3 of you played exceptionally well and have given GREAT answers at the final Tribal Council. I enjoyed getting to know all 3 of you as people.

Shannon- I think your great and I think you may not have played the "game" to 100% of your ability, but I think you played "your game" to 100% of your ability and should be proud of that.

Chase- Once again, your awesome and you know you and I have a good bond and youve helped me out a few times personally.....and I thank you for/really enjoyed that. .....and I have to confess I lied to you when I said people were saying they thought "you, Ty and Shannon were aligned with a final 3" I just thought it after the plate smash and wanted to know if it was true. So Im sorry for lying to you, its the only time that I have.

Ty- I really dont want you to feel like I was picking on you with my opening comment, it was just that friendly rivalry we had was a big turning point for me in the game and I was just telling you (from my perspective) what happened in my eyes to make things flip. But I really liked talking with you and good luck with your girlfriend. And I actually wasnt going to turn on you, but I no longer felt like I was in the majority of our "La Flor" tribe after the "plate smash" challenge, because something about that challenge never settled right with me (as I said at the time) and I was right.....THIS (final 3) was the reason why I felt like something was off.

[Tyrone Davis]

Thank you Na Onka

I liked our talks to, your a really fun person and I was laughing out loud, especially during the chat we had during the plate smash (and ps: I don't need any enhancement hahaha). And your instinct was right. Glad we got to play Nay!

[Chase Rice]

Thanks Nay! I really didn't come to realize that this was the final 3 that made final 3 in the plate smash till it became real but you have been a great ally and I thank you for that and all the things we talked about were genuine so thanks for all of that
