Survivor: Millennials Vs. Gen X- Tenth and Eleventh Boot Interview Roundup.

Dec 01, 2016 18:52

11th Place (3rd Juror)- Chris Hammons (Trial Lawyer)

Some quotes from the interviews:

"I've played it over in my head a million times. But the biggest thing I could have done that I think would have mattered in the game would have been vote Dave off at the swap. I think I could have accomplished that with Michelle and Zeke. I should have done that. But other than that, it's all out of your hands."
"Jay is doing a good job of keeping his mouth shut. He’s not really making any rifts. Quite frankly, he’s been very brave not playing his idol up to this point. I don’t know how Jay has been sliding by, but he’s done a good job of staying under the radar."
"It [rivalry with Jessica] started with [Paul], but it even festered more with Dave playing his idol on Jess; that just grew the animosity between the factions on Gen X. At that point Gen X was just broken, and moving forward Jess was just too big a part of that group. She was close to Ken, to Adam, and to Dave. We thought that if we removed her from the equation, we have three free agents essentially, and they’re going to have to cling to my group. I felt like if I got her out, it was good for us moving forward."
"I think he made a mistake in that. I think Dave made the great move, you know, he had this kind of two-way go with Ken and Jess or to go with our group. And I think for Zeke, it was premature to go after me. I think Zeke and I could have -- if we got Jess out right then -- run the game. And yes, would it have gotten messy later, down the road? Sure. But we could've really chosen from that point on who goes, who stays, and then we could've battled it out later down the road."
"I would’ve taken Adam and Hannah or Sunday. They were my top three to come with me. I would’ve tried to have maneuvered into that situation. Bret would have been a tough one. I’m a loyal player. I probably would have had to do it, Bret’s too likable to face at the end. And, he played a pretty good game."
"I am in touch with many from the show, but Bret and I are the closest. Truth be told, Bret has had a crush on me since Day 1! I knew he was looking at me strange while on the beach!"

10th Place (4th Juror)- Jessica Blain Lewis (Assistant District Attorney)

Some quotes from the interviews:

"It’s hard because I don’t really have any regrets, but I wish that as far as the voting out Paul would have been better moving forward if we had come together and talked as a larger group. We had a lot of smaller discussions, and what ended up happening was, I was singled out and targeted for masterminding that particular vote."
"It’s one of the those situations where flipping wasn’t being respected in that game. Zeke was getting voted for because he flipped on us, and Hannah was getting voted for because she flipped on Zeke. Sitting there and hearing that I should vote out Hannah because she’s a flipper, and they want me to flip, well that just doesn’t work (laughs)! That’s your argument - to tell me to do [the thing that you’re voting out this other person for doing]."
"I think it [Gen X coming together] could’ve happened if we could’ve had conversations. I think a lot of it was on Sunday. When we merged, I was very nervous because I knew I was coming back to Bret, Chris, and Sunday, and I didn’t know how they were all going to be. In my head I thought that Sunday had spent a significant amount of time with Bret, and I hoped she had paved the way for us to move forward together. When we got to the merge and I started talking to her about that and said ‘did you talk to Bret about what had happened, and did you try to make amends for me?’, and she said no. So, I said ‘okay’ (laughs), and I realized at that point it wasn’t going to happen. If Sunday wasn’t going to go to bat for me, there was no chance that those two were going to listen to me alone. She was really integral in that whole dynamic, and decided not to [have that conversation] for whatever reason."
"The interesting part about that [Sunday saying the plan is to vote for Ken] is, that wasn't the first time we had heard Ken's name. We had heard Ken's name earlier in the day. We had also heard my name, and we'd heard David's name. So we had heard all three of our names. We didn't know where the votes were going to fall. And so, we all knew that it was going to be some combination or something along those lines. I didn't realize that Hannah had had that conversation with David [about people voting for her]. I didn't know that that even had occurred, otherwise I probably would have been focusing a little bit more on the possibility of it being Hannah. But, when they were talking about Ken, I didn't really think that could be completely wrong. But at the same time, I didn't know if it was going to be completely right, because we ultimately had no idea who was going to be voted for. It was one of those moments where we were all just kind of hoping and praying that we were going to get it right, and unfortunately we didn't."
"I must have spoken to Zeke three times. He had been playing with us. He had been with David and Ken and I. We had just voted out Chris. I kept going back to Zeke: 'What’s going on? What is happening tonight?' He seemed a little all over the place: 'We’re going to split the votes, put a couple of people’s names down.' It didn’t seem clearcut. So I knew something bad was happening. I knew it was going to be a bad Tribal. Everyone was being very wishy-washy, besides Ken and David and Adam. I wasn’t sure how it was going to play out, but I knew it would be bad."
"To actually have that rock in my hand was a horrible moment, because you realize, I'm done. That's it. My game is over. There's no buildup. There's no revealing votes, with Jeff going through each one and you're seeing your name. There's no preparing for that moment. You can walk into a Tribal and know, I'm probably going to get voted for, but I think I've got enough people on my side that I'm not going home. Whereas, when you're picking rocks, it's that moment, and that's the only moment you have to process it. So it was a whole lot of emotion and just sadness and frustration that just all hit me at once. It was really awful."
"For David, that [playing his idol on me] was an amazing move. Obviously for me it was great, because I got to stay in the game, so I'm not going to complain about it. But people have said, in a lot of the things I've read and podcasts I've listened to, that it wasn't a smart move for David to play his idol so early for somebody else in the game. But what David really assured himself at that moment was, he was going to have a loyal person to the end. I was going to be completely loyal to David, no matter what. And obviously that proved true when we went to rocks. So, for David, that play was great, because he really assured himself, I've got another vote, and if I sit next to her in the final three, I win. [Laughs]. So for David, that was fantastic."

sorry it's so late lol
