Nate's Notes

[Nate Gonzalez]

Before I get started I'd like to say that I will not be addressing Andrea tonight because I don't give a crap about her the two gentlemen deserve my vote more. You can go make me a sandwich or something women do.

Now that that's out of the way....

Hello!

My name is Nate, just in case ya'll forgot. Feels like so long ago I got voted out, and yet somewhere in the bottom of my heart it hurts. I don't think I deserved to go, and I'd like to think me leaving that round wasn't either of your preferences for the vote.

James: I thought we were bros, but based on what you said in your opening statement I've come to question that. So tell me what you thought of our relationship/alliance, and where you wanted it to go. Be completely honest.

Tom: I think you were a real fighter in this game. You made adjustments when you had to, won immunities when you had to, and did a nice way of staying off the radar too much (as opposed to Tyson who put a fucking 50 foot poster of himself on the radar). I'd like you to tell me your biggest regret you have from this game.

There's also some mutual questions I'd like both of you to answer:

1. Tell me who, in a perfect world, you would have wanted out in my eviction round, right before the merge and why.

2. Relate every juror and finalist to an animal and explain.

3. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?

Thanks guys. And Andrea...extra mayo

[Andrea Boehlke]

Wow, could you be anymore rude? And no, you're not getting any sandwich for the way you're acting.

Thanks Nate I appreciate it

I'd like you to tell me your biggest regret you have from this game.

I think my biggest regret in this game was letting Kel back into the game. I was foolish enough to believe that he will keep everything I say to him in confidence but instead he chose to give away all my information to Ethan and Tyson. I let my guard down and trusted him fully and I believe it was a big mistake in my part.


There's also some mutual questions I'd like both of you to answer:

1. Tell me who, in a perfect world, you would have wanted out in my eviction round, right before the merge and why.

I would think I'd get rid of Sarah at that point. Everyone was just letting her coast by. Like everybody else deserved to be here and all she ever did was take a vacation and voted the way Tyson and Ethan did.

2. Relate every juror and finalist to an animal and explain.

Nate - Dog, like some dogs, you need to be taken cared of. You like it when people tell you what they are doing in the game cause when they don't it pisses you off. At least that's what I saw. So like a dog that lacks attention they wouldn't like it and would prolly sit in a corner and be pissed off.

Ben - Dove, Ben is silent and pure like a dove. Like he's one person who I believe has not lied to anyone at all and is more likely to tell you all.

Colby - Cat, he was the one who pulled off a miraculous save and got himself off the target for a round. It's literally like he was given a second life in the game. He is loyal and endearing just like cats do but the claws come off if he is provoked.

Sarah - Sloth, Sarah was like a sloth who really didn't do anything much but laid around and waited for who the vote was and took a rest (vacations) while she's at it.

Monica - Parrot, She's not afraid to talk back to you and let you know how she feels. She gives you what it is whether you're an ally or an enemy. She lets you know her opinions and that you can't just easily write her off because she will come at you swinging.

Kel - Rat, not to put it in a bad way but he did for the most part scurry about and nose in on what's going on and take all this info and use it to his advantage. He was prolly one of the strongest social players out here as he was able to create conflicts without him being involved in the spotlight. He was definitely one of the power players in a small package so to speak.

Tyson - Wolf, he was definitely the big badass wolf of the season. He was strong, cunning, calculated and smart. And he lied a lot and does not get phased even if he's already been caught. That's just how he is.

Ethan - Fox, he is basically Tyson's sidekick, I'm not sure if a fox is a wolf's sidekick but I think they go side by side. Like a fox Ethan was very cunning and can sell a lie and turn it into truths. That's how good of a liar he was. Maybe he should be a lawyer lol.

Jaime - Fish, like a school of fish, she followed where James was. I don't mean to say she was just a follower but she was very loyal to James that she doesn't mind who James aligned with as long as it benefits the both of them.

Andrea - Canary, she's sweet, simple, nice and loyal. Like what can a canary bird do wrong in this world? I feel like she has always been upfront with me (except for the colors game ) and I understand she was just trying to win on that one lol. But she's one of few people who I have trusted and has not wavered their trust in me

James - Tiger, I think James was a tiger in a sense that a tiger can look very formidable but once it is tamed it's as docile as a little kitten. Yeah it was no secret that him and I didn't agree much in the first few rounds in the game. But once I reached out to him and let him see what was happening, I was able to convince him that the best option for us both at that point was to work together and there was never a round that we weren't aligned ever since. I was able to tame the tiger and make him my friend instead of an enemy.

Tom - Shark, I'd like to think I was a shark in this game. Sharks are very quiet and really don't do much and just observe just like what I was in the beginning but then if you provoke a shark it fights back strong and hard. And just like what happened to me, I was provoked and was put up against the wall and I fought back with my teeth bared and did not stop fighting till I got to the end and tore apart my detractors.

3. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?

Yes he will be. It has nothing to do about him being Oriental. It happens to anyone even on Survivor.

Thanks Nate, and good luck with your decision

[Ty Apostol]

Its called playing the character Nate... and Im in the running for an Emmy.

[James Clement]

Nate, man, how much I miss our late night strategy convos, and our "black men" alliance LOL! We had some good times throughout this game. And the way you went out sucks.. I did indeed not think you were going home, I voted with Colby along with you, Jaime and the remaining Omnivore alliance Members! I was true to you since Day 1 , and I NEVER went back on you and Never did I plan on doing so..

James: I thought we were bros, but based on what you said in your opening statement I've come to question that. So tell me what you thought of our relationship/alliance, and where you wanted it to go. Be completely honest.

Nate ! We were AND STILL ARE Bros, nothing in my opening statement should make you question my loyalty to you in this game what so ever. I unforunately was aware you were leaving that round, however I still stuck by you right until the very end, and never left you out to dry. Because I was so loyal to you, and you proved your loyalty back to me. I thought the world of our relationship, you were one of the first people to actually have a real convo with me besides Sandra & Kel ! If I could have it differently I would of wanted to go much further with you in this game, and it sucks your game was cut short. I was really dissaopinted in your elimination

1. Tell me who, in a perfect world, you would have wanted out in my eviction round, right before the merge and why.

The week you went home, I would of much rathered of seen COLBY go home that round, for the simple fact that, out of all the jurors, he was one of the only ones I hadn't really talked to much. And I knew him and Tom were very close, and I really wanted to break that up! ( that was before me and Tom became allies) Tom was a huge threat of mine, and any chance I could to try and take him and his lap dog out at that point, I was willing to take it.

2. Relate every juror and finalist to an animal and explain.

Nate - A STUFFED Animal
I give you A Stuffed Animal because, at the beginning of the game I felt like you were honestly my biggest ally, and someone I could trust. In this sense, I think of myself as the little kid, and you as the stuffed animal I brought around everywhere with me, and talked to , on the sad nights where Alina or Monica had just bitched at me and I had no one else to talk to . LMFAOO!

Ben - OWL
I give Ben the Owl, because it is a very quiet animal, that uses its big ass eyes, to observe all its surroundings and take in information for itself, and not really commit to one habitat. He never commited to anyones true alliance, he merely played the social game and gathered information and revealed other peoples information to further himself and better his own game.

Colby - Hermit Crab
I chose Colby as the hermit crab, because Colby was more of a reserved player, and would NEVER really open up to you, unless you had a relationship like Tom had with him, where you were REALLY close to him, so it was really hard to get a read on him, because most of our conversations he was very shy, and was very short when he'd answer a question LOL

Sarah: Bird
I chose Sarah as a bird, because birds tend to migrate in the winter a lot, and Sarah went on vacation what? 2-3 times? Her migration stopped her from really communicating with anyone, but it kept her safe for most of the time.

Monica: Blue Whale
A blue whale is one of the LOUDEST animals that lives on planet Earth. Monica was certainly not afraid to speak her mind, and was almost as ballsy as myself . ALMOST. LOL . She played a straight forward game, just like myself, and if she was gonna stab you, it was more then likely gonna be in your front.

Kel: Rat
I'd have to agree with Tom on this one, Kel was definitely the rat of the game. He played every single side, every single Angle possible, and definitely stirred up a lot of trouble while he was in the game.

Jaime: Mouse
I relate Jaime's gameplay to a mouse, because of the saying "quieter then a mouse." She basically ran away from the big scary cats (Tyson & Ethan) and basically did whatever she could to survive. She made moves with myself that would benefit her and get her one step close to the finals.

Tyson: Lion
Tyson, was basically KING LION of the game, he was very dominant and controlling over a lot of the people. He was very social and when he was pissed, he showed it with his loud roar LOL.

Ethan: Swan
Definitely one of the sneakier "creatures" in this zoo . LOL He basically played by the motto to lie cheat and steal. Do whatever the fuck it took to get here. On the exterior, he played it off like he was this cool, humerous guy, but apparently according to Andrea he forges fake conversations, and is a great manipulator.

Andrea: Flamingo
Very beautiful, cute and fun to look at. She was a huge flirt, and played the nice girl role,

Tom: Wolf
Like he said for Tyson, he was very cunning and ambiguous , he knew what he wanted and he mostly accomplished his goals all the time. He "tore" through the "pack" in almost all of the individual immunities.

James: Top Dinosaur
I really do think dinosaurs have all the amazing qualities any animal would be jealous of. With my intimidation tactics, my careful strategy and good social gameplay I managed to make it this far, and take out all my enemies. Just like a dinosaur, the bitch kills whoever is in its way

3. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?

Thats a good one Nate . I really don't know how to answer . But I'd say so! Just like every normal human being LOL !

Thanks for your questions! I had a lot of fun with the animal question, as you can probably tell

Good luck with your decision!

Haha that almost made me pee my pants

[Nate Gonzalez]

Great answers both of you, it'll be a hard decision.

Andrea, you get 0% tip for crappy service.
