Robert's Interrogation

[Robert DeCanio]

Hello Neleh and Zoe. I have a few statements and a few questions.


Well first of all, you both screwed the hell out of me. Neleh you did make a promise to me for final 2, and you went back on it. Zoe you told me again and again that you were with me, but in the end you chewed me out.


I do actually think that both of you have played this game 100%. Neleh, don't be arrogant, what you said in your opening statement completely highlights how conceited you are. How do you know what Zoe has or has not done? How can you judge her amount of participation? Yes she had an inactive patch because she went on holiday, but when she came back, she was screwing me over and sticking around.


Neleh you obviously were more of a cutthroat, evil snake kind of player, but hey, you sure as hell don't know if Zoe's strategy was to fly under the radar...because it certainly got her here, like a dog you kept her around again and again.





Anyway, those are my statements. Before I give my jury vote question........I have to clarify some things up.




I'll start of with Neleh.






Neleh....you really puzzled the hell out of me when you did what you did. The one major thing that irked me was you specifically stated that Gabriel had back-stabbed you in a previous game and that you hated him, and you had every intention of doing the same to him.

Was this just another of your lies, another fabrication to keep me believing that you had no ties to Gabriel whatsoever?

I'd also like to know why it is that you chose Gabe over me. Gabe, I don't know why, completely lied about having an alliance with you from day 1. You stated in your opening speech that I actually approached you first.


Okay I get your strategy of wanting Zoe around. I get that Kathy was in the equation. But why is it that you chose Gabriel over me? Ultimately you did make that decision. You chose the final 3 of you, Gabe and Zoe over you, me and Zoe. You certainly could've asked me for an f3 alliance of you, me and Zoe and you know I would've agreed to it, but you chose not to. You chose to take Gabe. Why?


And finally, there was something ambiguous in your opening statement, and that was your history in this series. I want to know everything that happened in Borneo. Everything. Spill your guts, or risk losing my vote.











I'll move on to Zoe. You my dear also puzzled me with your game plan. You lied your face off to me over and over again. You said 'oh nobody's talking to me', 'I'm totally with you I have no one else', 'Definitely Gabe tonight'.


I would like to know why it is you chose to vote me out and you chose to side with Gabe. Both of us are pretty similar in terms of being threats, and I'd like to know why you went to his side. If you did have an alliance with him early on, then fair enough, but if you didn't, why did you choose Gabe and why did you feel the need to lie your face off to me? You could've just, not said anything conclusive. It just doesn't make sense.


Another thing that puzzled me came in the final 4 Zoe. Why is it that you chose to side with Neleh and Gabe and not Kathy? Now I'm being very general here...but both of those guys could kick your ass in a second in a final 2 vote, just because a few of the other jury members are ignorant and don't see the big picture.

Why did you not side with Kathy and try to get Gabe out? You could have had a chance against Kathy, I mean, the other tribe has said that they hated her and at least you would've had a chance. Why did you not try to pull off this clearly smart game move? And why is it you just flowed along with whatever Neleh and Gabe said, when they were clearly using you like a fish?






Okay well there's a lot of questions there that should stimulate a lot of discussion from you two. Those were tools used to clarify what has happened in this game...because you two were very shady.



Here's my final, proper question:



Which 2 jury members do you feel deserve to be in your spots, and which 2 jury members do you feel DO NOT deserve to be in your spots.....AND WHY??






Answer all my clarification questions and the final question so you can be in the running to get my vote. I expect detail, don't be brief and curt with me. No ambiguous parts, especially you Ms. Neleh.

And finally, there was something ambiguous in your opening statement, and that was your history in this series. I want to know everything that happened in Borneo. Everything. Spill your guts, or risk losing my vote.

My first answer...no I did not lie. If Gabriel were to know who I am in other games he knows we don't get along whatsoever. He's someone I do not trust whatsoever. He is the biggest flip flopper in the history of ORGs.

Second I chose Gabe over you because like I stated I saw you as a bigger physical threat. I also have to think of immunities. It's the only thing that guarantees 100% another round in the game. I don't take anyones word for granted most of the time.

Borneo was canceled...so nothing happened. I only remember the first challenge. Nothing else. And nothing happened.

Also I do not intend on being thingyy about my statement. I just don't believe in the UTR strategy. It is such a boring and lame strategy to use. I personally don't like it. Someone might as well be inactive. I believe I played much more aggresively and wanted it more. She didn't put effort into challenges or so I think. It's not arrogance whatsoever.

Which 2 jury members do you feel deserve to be in your spots, and which 2 jury members do you feel DO NOT deserve to be in your spots.....AND WHY??

Deserving:
1.Sean-->He worked his butt off because he did indeed tried to work with me however it didn't work out. Even when he was in a minority he NEVER gave up.
2.Robert-->Many people definitely were following your lead. Unfortunately I'm not a coattail rider. So I didn't stick it out with you.

Non-Deserving:
1.John-->He was simply inactive...
2.Patricia-->She was semi-inactive.

[Robert DeCanio]

Thank you for your answers Neleh. I've definitely evaluated the kind of person you are and your overall strategy, and now I have the right information to contribute to my vote. Now I just need Zoe's answers.

[Neleh Dennis]

Your welcome.

[Zoe Zanidakis]

Hey Robert!

I chose to side with Gabe over you because I felt you were the bigger threat in ways of challenges and personality than Gabe was. Like you said, you both were pretty much an equal threat, but it was more in my mind 51% to 49% with you being the slightly stronger player. I know its probably the most generic answer you'd expect, but it was that cut and dry for me. I had an alliance with all of you (the original Rotu) to take out the former Maraamu, and that was the point where I decided to side with Gabe over you, when all the former Maraamus were gone and we had to devour one another.

I felt like I had to lie to save my own skin. I had received several votes up to that point, and if I told you flat out that "hey, I'm sorry, but I'm going with Gabe," I would expect you to come after me full force and blindside me like you were blindsided. Unfortunately, this type of game rewards lying and backstabbing, but that's the game we all signed up for. As for not saying anything conclusive, you're a smart player and I figured if I didn't say anything that you would take that as me siding with Gabe.

In the final four I chose to side with Neleh and Gabe because I never really had anything with Kathy. I formed a final three with Gabe and Neleh when we voted you out, and it wouldn't benefit me at all to keep Kathy, especially since she's been gunning for me ever since we were separate tribes and she voted for me over voting out Gina. She even voted for me at the final four, so it really wouldn't have been helpful for me to side with her when she was gunning for me for so long. She felt like I was inactive and not doing anything just because I wasn't winning challenges. Yes, I was on vacation for a bit, but even when I was gone I left a boot list so I wouldn't self-vote and become truly inactive.

And as for Gabe and Neleh using me like a fish, when it was first tied between you and Gabe (me and Gabe voted for you, you and Kathy voted for Gabe), Neleh was the tie-breaker, and she messaged me asking who she should vote for, and I said you because you were the bigger threat. So I wasn't being blindly lead by them this whole time.

The two jury members who deserve to be here are definitely you and Gabe, because you were both the leaders of the tribe, and unfortunately you both had to go because you were both huge threats.

The two jury members who don't deserve to be here is also easy: Patricia and John, because both are TRULY inactive.

[Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien]

Zoe,
I HONESTLY voted for you that one time because people told me they weren't voting out Gina and NELEH said she was voting you out.
You place the blame on me but Neleh voted for you too.
there were THREE votes.

[Robert DeCanio]

Neleh, I have one final question for you:

Is this true, what Zoe said? Exactly true? Did you decide this move based upon what Zoe told you?

Neleh was the tie-breaker, and she messaged me asking who she should vote for, and I said you because you were the bigger threat. So I wasn't being blindly lead by them this whole time.

[Neleh Dennis]

She replied that like a million years later.

I had actually voted before she replied. I voted for Zoe.

I'd also like to talk about this. You did actually vote for Zoe in your first vote, didn't you? That wasn't very strategically smart, nor did it make any sense since you knew who everyone else was voting. All it did was the delay the game.

Why did you want Zoe out when you've said again and again that she's easier to beat? You've also said again and again that I was the bigger threat out of me and Gabe, why didn't you vote for me that first time? Were you just not thinking clearly?

[Neleh Dennis]

Um I did it because most likely Zoe would have thought Kathy was gunning for her again and once again in case I had not won immunity Zoe would go for Kathy due to the once again vote casted against her.

[Robert DeCanio]

I've made my decision final 2. Good luck to you both.
