Penner's Final Questions.

[Jonathan Penner]

Well guys let me start by saying congratulations. This was a long game, and i'm sure it was a tough run for each of you, but now we as the jury decide who 'we think' is the best player. Now i'm not sure in my choice so I want your help by answering my questions.

For Brendon:

1. Fist off i know what your talking about at the begging of the game, and i first want to say that the original alliance was much different than you thought. But anyway, if Melinda hadn't targeted you so much who would you have liked to have seen gone at that tribal council?

2.Did you ever intend on following through with the plan we talked up, for after the merge?

3.If Neleh hadn't had her freak out right after the merge, who would have been the first jury member?

4.Why should i vote for you, over the two girls. With this question i want you to tell me things they did that you think where terrible and why i shouldn't vote for them.


For Sydney:

1.Sydney you seem like a very nice person unfortunately i didn't get to speak with you much, so this is my first real chance to get to know you, So i have a question that been bugging me for a while. Though out this game i have been told by many people that i was hated, do you know why that is?

2. What was your BIG move in this game?

3.What was in your option the dumbest move(s) of the game?

4.If you could replace any of the final three with any member of the jury who would it be and why?

5.If you guys had lost the last immunity challenge on our island who would have been gone?

6. Why should you get my vote over the other two?

For Kelly:

1. Well Kelly it seems Neleh's crazy story about you at the merge was right, so i want to know did you guys really tell her your plan because you knew none of us would believe her?

2.It seems you where the master mind behind voting out most of the people sitting on the jury, but if you could take one person off of the jury who would that be and why?

3. You also said that a lot of the people where hard votes, why is that? Also if they where hard votes, why was i taken out before Mikey B?

4.If Jk hadn't basically quit who would have been voted out instead of him, and keep in mind that Christa had immunity during that vote?

5.Finally why do the other two people sitting next to you deserve my vote more than you do?

Final question and this is for all of you, i would like to know from each of you individually what was the order in which everyone was to be voted out into the jury, I'm asking for the original order.

[Brendan Synnott]

1. Fist off i know what your talking about at the begging of the game, and i first want to say that the original alliance was much different than you thought. But anyway, if Melinda hadn't targeted you so much who would you have liked to have seen gone at that tribal council?

Jon, from my perspective, that was how I perceived your alliance to be, but I would love to know what it really was. As for Melinda targeting me constantly, that was how it played out, but even if it did not play out as that, I would still see myself voting for her. At that point in the game on our tribe, it was me, you, Ian, Christa and her. Ian I was close with so I could never see myself voting for him. Christa, I know I would not get the votes for at all. And you Jon, you were liked by the other three and were the leader in my opinion of that alliance. Melinda, well, after the previous tribal council and the drama that had gone on, I would still have wanted to see her go, even if she did not target me because that would have been the only logical choice for me at that point, the rest of us were better at challenges and I did not want to go back to tribal council. So to answer your question, Melinda would still have been the person I would have liked to see go.

2.Did you ever intend on following through with the plan we talked up, for after the merge?

Honestly Jon, no I did not. I just needed a back-up plan in case of something going wrong or someone flipping or an idol being used. Once we all merged my main loyalties were to Kelly, Sydney and Ian. Honestly tho, I would have liked to see you go further in the game because I know you were someone I could rely on after the stuff that had gone on in our tribe early in the game, but other then that, the plan we talked about was more or less a safety net for my game.

3.If Neleh hadn't had her freak out right after the merge, who would have been the first jury member?

From what I recall at that part of the game Jon, I know I had heard your name come up along with Neleh. Your name came up because you were deemed a threat and someone who was playing this game really hard, but Neleh was the same way, sneaky and manipulative. From what I know, even had Neleh not had that freak out, she would still find herself as the first juror in the game because she was playing all sides, which is part of the game and everyone does it, but she was caught doing it and had to go.

4.Why should i vote for you, over the two girls. With this question i want you to tell me things they did that you think where terrible and why i shouldn't vote for them.

You should vote for me because I was down early in this game and had to fight early on to catch up with the rest of you. I was able to use my social game to get in good with people and I am sitting here. However, if you want to call this next part a cop-out, you can. If it loses your vote, I also understand. I will not bad mouth Kelly and Sydney's game play. We were tight, grew a close bond and played this game together. I am not going to sit here and tell you why they don't deserve your vote, because all 3 of us deserve it. That will be up for you to judge however on who really deserves it. All 3 of us did things to get to the end, I wouldn't call them terrible because they were needed to get us as far as they could. Sydney and Kelly also played a hell of a game together, they were together since day one in this game and deserve it just as much as I do. I hope you understand my reasoning for not answering your question the way you had hoped.


Final question and this is for all of you, i would like to know from each of you individually what was the order in which everyone was to be voted out into the jury, I'm asking for the original order.

Jon, this would be the order of which people went home when the jury started the way I would have liked.

1st Juror: Mikey B - I did not talk to him and I knew he was a sure vote with Neleh so he had to go

2nd Juror: Shawn - He was liked by people but I really did not see much from his game play early in the merge to judge. I did know however that the silent types need to be watched out for too.

3rd Juror: Sugar - just being the victim of a different island and having my own alliance in order

4th Juror: Adam - I know he's gonna be mad for this, but I wanted him out a while ago. He was a challenge threat and I knew he could get in my way of getting here so I would have liked him gone earlier then he went.

5th Juror: Neleh - I didn't know exactly how sneaky she was so I wouldn't have wanted her gone, but it would have came out sooner or later in the game had she stuck. She would be out for being too big a threat

6th Juror: Unfortunately Jon, this was as far as I think I would have been able to keep you in this game. The way I wanted my alliance of being a solid 4 of me, Syd, Kelly and Ian would have made you the 6th Juror because John K was our 5th.

7th Juror: Christa, the mother of my child Oliver She would leave at the same spot she did cause everyone loved her and she was a beast in challenges. There was no way we could have let her get any further so this is where she would have fallen.

8th Juror: John K, I wanted the final 4 I wanted and John K would have been the odd man out.

9th Juror: This would really depend on who had immunity, but I think once we got here, it would be the hardest vote for me because I liked all 3 of em. In the end however, I think I would have voted Ian out at 4 just because he was such a great guy, played a good solid game and was a big threat to win had he made it.

* This was the way I would have liked the game to go, so ideally, the final 3 is still the same for me, just the order of elimination was different.*

Thanks Jon and if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

5.Finally why do the other two people sitting next to you deserve my vote more than you do?

Final question and this is for all of you, i would like to know from each of you individually what was the order in which everyone was to be voted out into the jury, I'm asking for the original order.

1. I'd love to say that was my plan but in all honesty she only knew the plan cause Brendan has a big mouth and he foolishly thought I'd let him have some sort of control in the outcome of this game. Obviously that was not the case and I did use the fact that no one took her seriously to my advantage but that was only after I learned Brendan had a big mouth.

2. That is hard to say because I feel like all of you guys deserve to be on the jury. But since I have to pick someone I'd say Steph only because she was voted before the merge so while I get why she on the jury cause she was a great player and still active I feel out of all of you since she didn't make the merge I'd remove her.

3. I think there were a lot of hard votes because one thing I enjoy about these games is the social side of the game I enjoy talking to people in general about anything. And I got close to a lot of the people in this game and formed a bond with them including you. And you were taken out because I watched how you played on the other island I knew you, ian, christa, and melinda were together and when you screwed over Melinda I knew that you were here to play and would do anything to get to the end so that to me made me very nervous about you that was the main reason.

4. I can honestly say Shawn was the vote but I personally didn't want him to go cause I knew he was one of my most loyal allies and I didn't want to lose him at all. So had JK not been okay with going I will admit that was one of the few votes I didn't have control and that Shawn would of gone with or without my vote against him.

5. I think they both played very solid social games. I think Brendan brought a lot of humor to the game and that was needed for a game like survivor. Sydney is so sweet how can you not adore her. Those the reasons I think they deserve your vote.

FOR ALL: This is how I personally would of liked it to go.

1st juror - Neleh: She was my biggest threat and like a lot of people in the game she knew I was running the show but the difference was that she was not an ally of mine which was why she was my biggest threat.

2nd juror - Jonathan: Sorry buddy though I enjoyed bonding with you and had we bonded sooner it may of changed but like I said you made me nervous cause I knew you were here to win this game at all costs. Just like myself

3rd juror - Mikey B: While I enjoyed Mikey B's company I didn't think keeping him around for to long would of been the smartest idea for my game

4th juror - Christa: Had she and I not clicked so well when we did I would of gotten rid of her much earlier than the final six. But I enjoyed her company and that is what spared her.

5th juror - Ian: while he was in my alliance people like Shawn and Sugar were much more loyal to me than I felt he was or would be later down the road. And he was just really quiet which also made me nervous cause if people aren't strategising and chatting with me they are doing it with someone else.

6th juror - Brendan: You know him being so close to Sydney and other people in the game made me nervous while I feel he would of been and was extremely loyal to me I think originally I would of gotten rid of him to keep people I knew for sure would be loyal to me.

7th juror - Sugar: While Sugar and I are really close I didn't feel like she was all that into the game this time and she had told me she was just playing out of respect for the series so I would of honestly probably voted her out at 6

8th juror - Shawn: while I love shawn and had Brendan not won final immunity I would of caused a tie between them both so they could battle it out for a spot in the finals originally I would of booted him at 5 cause he wasn't originally from my island so I'd of had a hard time convincing people to keep him

9th juror - JK/Adam: Sydney and I originally agreed we'd each take one person that we were both super close to and honestly we would of caused a tie between the two guys so they could battle it out for that last finals spot.

[Sydney Wheeler]

For Sydney:

1.Sydney you seem like a very nice person unfortunately i didn't get to speak with you much, so this is my first real chance to get to know you, So i have a question that been bugging me for a while. Though out this game i have been told by many people that i was hated, do you know why that is? Well Jonathan I will share with you that I heard you were a very aggressive player could be a bit shady at times.

2. What was your BIG move in this game? Hummm I did speak to this on Christas questions so… I think the biggest move was my social game because the only vote I ever got was from Shawn this last round, So I think I was viewed as not being a threat and made it to the F3 with only 1 vote against me.

3.What was in your option the dumbest move(s) of the game? I think it might have been when someone may have told Neleh as we were merging that we were going to vote her out and well, need I remind you what happened after that…

4.If you could replace any of the final three with any member of the jury who would it be and why? I promised to be honest with all questions, so I will have to say that I would replace Brendan for Adam. Again, the decision to vote for Adam was not made lightly. Had I been able to talk out some things with him, I would ultimately not have voted for him, however I was not able to get any of my questions answered that would have made me vote differently.

5.If you guys had lost the last immunity challenge on our island who would have been gone? If memory serves me correctly that would have been Betsy.

6. Why should you get my vote over the other two? I think you should vote for me because I did play a good game I was open and honest with my answers tonight and because I set out with a goal to have fun and do good and met some great ppl along the way and I was able to achieve all those things.

Final question and this is for all of you, i would like to know from each of you individually what was the order in which everyone was to be voted out into the jury, I'm asking for the original order.

This is the order in which I would have liked to of seen everyone go…..

Stephanie because she lied and was a sneak
Neleh because she stirred up trouble to get every one against each other
Sugar because she just did not seem to be into the game
Shawn because he was very quiet and never part of my alliance
Jonathan because I heard he was sneaky
Christa because she would be a huge threat
Ian because he was never part of my F4 alliance
John K because he was never part of my final 4 alliance
Brendan because he was ALWAYS a part of my F4 alliance but not F3

[Jonathan Penner]

Well thanks t all of you for answering my questions, good luck in the final vote, you each played a very different but equally good game. (Oh and as a side note Kelly i would still talk to you, it's and game and i'm not bitter in fact i'm honored to know i was vote out early because i was threat.)

[Kelly Sharbaugh]

Good you better!

[Neleh "SourPuss" Dennis]

same with me kelly no hard feelings, you're an amazing player and nothing that people say or do i nsurvivor games should have any bearing on real life. just a game and you... well, clearly, did the best
