Malignant Monica's Malicious Review

[Monica Padilla]

Okay, so I'm gonna warn you now that this thread may live up to it's title, and if I offend anyone with the following questions, I apologize now. Oh, and this will be long.

So congratulations Andrea, James, and Tom. You did what 18 others couldn't do, and I will award you some props for that. But, that does not mean I particularly agree with how this all turned out. I will go to say that this is one of the most dissatisfying final three's I've ever seen, I legitimately don't wanna vote for either of you.

Either I've been backstabbed by one of you, or argued with, or pretty much had barely any real contact. So really, this this FTC will decide who gets my valuable vote.

Now to my opening comments:

Andrea:

I will tell you right now that you, at the moment, are the person who has the best shot of getting my vote. I don't have any qualms with you, as I do with the other two finalists.

But I will say that every time I spoke to you, you seemed so sweet and so nice and just thinking back about our conversations, I feel like you were completely fake the entire time. I don't think that any of our few conversations were actually genuine from your side. I think you played on this sweet act, and it kinda bothers me now because it's apparent it's all fake.

I also think you were a huge floater. You flipped from my side to James' side for the longest time before ultimately going against me and therefore causing my demise. That's another reason I didn't trust your word one bit, you never had a true position until pretty far into the game.

I think you played smart when you were finally in that alliance, knew that you had the best shot of making it to the end, and rode that. I think you played a good strategic and social game from that standpoint, but I don't think your strategy before that was in any way, shape, or form respectable.

But good luck to you, Andrea.

James:

Oh man, James. Not a good social game of yours. Your constant cockiness wasn't very appealing or interesting, or even comical like Ty's. It really just set a lot of other people off and left them with a really bad taste in their mouth when they were finished with you. That's not a good way to play the game nor is it a good way to win the game.

But I'm gonna disregard what you did to others and focus on what you did to me. You were undoubtedly the worst to me, and I felt like you always had this constant distrust and dislike for me throughout the entire season. Early on, when I tried aligning with you and Crystal, and you gave me your word you trusted me, I hear the next day that you, minutes later, again started talking shit about me being in some alliance I just told you the day before I wasn't a part of.

Then we got into my last day in this game when you just went all out on me. You had many delusions on how I played this game and how you played this game, and it really got me fuming. You pretty much said I was coattail riding or some other shit when I was in a great amount of control for quite some time, and it got me angry that you gave me no credit for it.

And I don't really understand what gives you the right to be all high and mighty about that when the only reason you were able to make it that far was because of complete luck and stupidity by some of my alliance members, you really didn't do anything about it. So yeah, that's the moment where I probably thought the least of you, so you'll have to really do some damage control tonight. And apologizing to me like you did last night won't cut it.

Good luck James on your long, uphill battle.

Tom:

Tom, Tom, Tom. I was shocked and appalled at what you did to me at the beginning of the merge. Before that point, I always felt like we were pretty cool, and you were one of my favorite people in the entire game. I enjoyed our conversations about non-Survivor related crap, like Buffy and Angel and other things related to that. It was fun to have someone I can have intelligent and entertaining conversations with, but you didn't seem to feel the same way.

I feel like you may suffer from Andrea-syndrome where I don't know whether or not you were just fake to me the entire time. But regardless, when we hit the merge, I was hoping to get an ally out of you. And I trusted you enough to tell you how I felt on what should happen on this vote, which was to get rid of James. And I can understand if you liked James and maybe wanted to sway to someone else or something, but you pretty much ran to him like a little puppy dog and told him our entire conversation. Like Tom, that's not cool. I trusted you and you just blatantly betrayed me. Nobody else in this game actually 'betrayed' me but you.

You pretty much picked your side and it wasn't me. And then on the day of my unfortunate exit, I scrambled a bit and went back to you. I wanted to maybe sway or guilt you into keeping me that round. But what you said kinda pissed me off. You said that you 'didn't wanna do it, but you had to.' I felt like you were under some James/Jaime enthrall, where you weren't able to break through, and that got me angry. And if you were just BS'ing me with that statement, I would be even more angrier.

So I'll gladly say Tom, that you have the least shot of getting my vote, but with good FTC performance, maybe, just maybe, you can pick it up

Good luck Tom.

Now, to my questions:

I have a few for each of you

Andrea:

So Andrea, I really want to know about how fake you truly were to me. Was there any moment in the game where you were legitimately with me, where you were 100% honest? If so, when was it?

Another question, this one's for the fun of it. Which celebrity would picture looking most like each of the jury members? Physically. Warning for Tom and James, questions like this will come up for you.

Third question, what would you consider your defining move? Everyone pictured you as a coattail rider, which move did you think you, yourself, put together.

Good luck Andrea!

James:

James, James, James. My best bud. I really felt that you had some smug confident throughout most of the merge phase, and you had some misconception that I rode coattails. I want you to explain that, what lead you to believe that I didn't play a game of my own and that I wasn't playing a game for me to win and I was just a puppet.

Now, reviewing all of those reasons and what I've told you after my elimination, do you still believe I rode coattails.

Also, what jury member do you associate you with an actual U.S. Survivor player? Which player do you think played like each juror?

Thank you James, good luck with the questions.

Tom:

Tom, is you answer these questions legitimately and convincingly, you can definitely receive my vote. Although you have the worst shot now, a good answer can easily boot your probability of receiving my vote.

1. Did you legitimately like me as a person? Did you enjoy our non-game related conversations? And did you ever, at one point in the game, see me as someone you wanted to align with? Someone you can work with?

2. When I went back to you after the tie vote between me and James, and you turned me down, did you consider once of voting for James over me? I'm sure you didn't, so I would like some reasoning behind why you wouldn't even consider working with me, someone who trusted you that you went against?

3. Other than blabbing to James, was there any other time in this game where you completely, blatantly, lied right to my face.

4. Which Buffy character would you associate with each juror, and why?

ONE LAST QUESTION FOR ALL THREE OF YOU:

What would you consider my three worst qualities and why?

Now congratulations, on the three of you, and I apologize for making you read this insane amount of words.

[Monica Padilla]

Oh and I'm sorry if I made a lot of grammatical and typo's, it's really late here and I'm kind of exhausted

bless this jury question

[Monica Padilla]

Crystal you are just filled with dislikes aren't ya?

[Andrea Boehlke]

Thanks, Monica.

So Andrea, I really want to know about how fake you truly were to me. Was there any moment in the game where you were legitimately with me, where you were 100% honest? If so, when was it?

LOL. That's quite hilarious because I've always thought you were fake. I was 100% real to you up until the round Colby to you were voted out. I honestly did believe we were going to work together to the end. That's when things were acting all sketchy and James told me that one round was between me and Tom so that if Tom plays and idol and I would go. Later on in the game, Tyson also admitted to me that, his dream final 4 was you, Ethan, Kel and himself. So obviously I fit nowhere near your guys' plans and I'm content with the route that I took to get here.

Third question, what would you consider your defining move? Everyone pictured you as a coattail rider, which move did you think you, yourself, put together.

Well obviously, early on in the game, my strategy was to lay low, go with the majority. build relationships and keep myself not a target.. basically to stay out of drama. During merge, Tom was pretty much my only faithful ally and we strategize everything of what we were going to do. I did suggest the Kel vote when he was voted out because before then, we found out that he isn't trusthworthy and because that, there were still 2 idols out and Ethan and Tyson were gonna be too cocky to not use their idol on him, so it was a risk worth taking.
And as much as Tyson and Ethan want to take credit for the Jaime vote, it was pretty much strategized between all of us minus James. Tyson told me who I prefer to vote-- James or Jaime and I said Jaime because I felt as she was becoming a bit inactive and I barely see her on anymore ( I guess she got busy with school ). She even self voted when she was voted out as well.
And, becoming allies with James mid merge.


I have to get to work now, I'll do the celeb pics later tonight.

[Monica Padilla]

Thanks Andrea

[Ty Apostol]

In my defense. I did not get cocky and not use my idol. I used my idol on myself because Ethan had a necklace and promised me he was using his idol on Kel. Had I known he was not, i would of played my idol on Kel.

[Kel Gleason]

We already knew who you would be voting that round tbh.

[James Clement]

Monica, first off, I want to thank you for this rivalry we've had, it made the game SO much more intense, and it just gave me a lot more entertainment and made the game much more interessting! Onto your questions

James, James, James. My best bud. I really felt that you had some smug confident throughout most of the merge phase, and you had some misconception that I rode coattails. I want you to explain that, what lead you to believe that I didn't play a game of my own and that I wasn't playing a game for me to win and I was just a puppet.

The main reason that I thought you were riding the coat tails, was because it seemed to me at the beginning of the game (PRE JURY) you were just jumping on peoples backs trying to survive, making alliances left & right just to survive. Just like when you came to Me & Crystal about an alliance and a week later you voted out Crystal... And then in the jury phases, when the alliance of Myself, Tyson, Ethan & Kel were formed, Tyson told me he could easily get your vote on our side, one night when we were talking. Which again led me to believe Tyson essentially controlled your vote, and thats ultimately why I said you were his lap dog. But obviously, at the time I was just saying whatever I could to diss you . But now that all the funs over, I do give you credit for the moves you have made. Just like I hope you can do the same for me. And give ME credit for the moves I made.

Now, reviewing all of those reasons and what I've told you after my elimination, do you still believe I rode coattails.

Like I stated above, now I realize you were a woman to be reckoned with, because you were in more control then I thought, and targetting you not only benefitted me personally, but strategically as well. You really were a good player and thats a huge reason why I targetted you so hard so early on.

Also, what jury member do you associate you with an actual U.S. Survivor player? Which player do you think played like each juror?

Nate- Rob Cesternino (Amazon & All Stars)

Nate had himself in a GREAT position in the game, but unfortunately, he jumped the gun, and tried to make a few moves to early, which unfortunately cost him the game in the end . In All stars, Rob had played a great social game, but when the top dogs found out he was trying to dethrown them, they outed him on the spot.

Ben - Rupert Boneham (Heroes Vs Villains)
Both really nice guys , their social gameplay got them really far throughout the game, but in the end, laying low, and not picking a side led to both of their downfalls.

Sarah- Teresa Cooper (Africa)
Both women, laid very low key throughout the game, not winning
any challenges, and just stayed UTR, however, when it came down to it, not being able to proetect themselves, they couldn`t make the cut, and got voted out.

Monica- NaOnka Mixon (Nicaragua)
LOL , I have to go back to the fact that both of these women, did NOT have a problem with opening their mouths whether it affected them or not. They both played CRUCIAL parts in the games, and made big moves. The difference is that NaOnka had quit the game, and Monica went out swinging.

Kel - Amanda Kimmel (Heroes Vs Villains)
Both of these players, were ALWAYS the swing vote, they played both sides perfectly, but when it came down to the end, their close ally members screwed them over. With Amanda it was Parvati, with Kel it was Ethan.

Jaime- Natalie White (Samoa)
She was Russells RIGHT HAND MAN, and made moves accordingly with him week after week after week, they made an excellent pair, and she even made it father then Russell and won the game! Jaime was an excellent partner, and so was Natalie. She was a sweet girl and always kept her cool.

Tyson - Rob Mariano (Redemption Island)
Tyson, clearly controlled the game for the most part, just like in All Stars with Rob Mariano as well as Redemption Island, unfortunately Tyson couldn`t pull it off right till the finals, but he still put up one hell of a fight, and made it VERY far into the game.

Ethan- Ethan Zohn
Ethan, basically played the game just like Ethan, he came off the be very friendly to everyone, but did a lot of scheming in the background. He also won competitions when he needed too and was a HUGE jury threat. Thats why he needed to be outed before the finals.

Tom- Colby Donaldson
Tom basically played like the Colby from Australia.. He won almost every single immunity challenge basically dominating the game. And in Australia Colby came 2nd . Could this be a hint for future events in this game . LOL Kidding Tom

Andrea - Andrea Boehekle
Andrea, essentially played like the real life Andrea, she was kind and sweet to everyone and basically went where the majority went, however when her neck was on the line she faught like hell to survive.

James- Russel Hantz
I basically played every aspect of the game, through winning challenges, playing people, playing a huge strategic game, manipulation, and social relationships to gain the numbers .



Finally Im done LOL! Thank You Monica . It was fun answering these questions ! . Good Luck IN your decision

[Monica Padilla]

I give you credit James, thanks <3

[Monica Padilla]

Oh and James you forgot the last question at the bottom of the post about my worst qualities, that all three of you are to answer, Andrea you forgot that as well

[Andrea Boehlke]

What would you consider my three worst qualities and why?

-Well, this can be #1 that I mentioned, I found you starting to be a bit fake and sketchy mid game since there were times where I didn't think you were being honest with me and I knew something had to be up when I hear the opposite from Tom and James.

-Being outspoken too much puts you on the spot to be blindsided.

-Obnoxious. This one kind of goes with you being outspoken.

Edited in a 3rd.

[Tom Westman]

Hi Monica, I'll try my best to convince you why I deserve your vote so here goes.

1. Did you legitimately like me as a person? Did you enjoy our non-game related conversations? And did you ever, at one point in the game, see me as someone you wanted to align with? Someone you can work with?

Monica, I really did like you. I liked the conversations we had and it was great hanging out with you. I do feel a little bit intimidated by you because I feel like I'm not allowed to say no to you and you only want YES as an answer. And of course Monica, I saw you as someone I wanted to work with, ever since we were back in the Herbivore tribe. Because you were hardworking and I like hardworking people. I would always try and talk to you about game so I will know what was going thru your head. And I wouldn't tell you stuff about me that I wouldn't tell other people unless I liked you. So yeah I really did like you and wanted to work with you.

2. When I went back to you after the tie vote between me and James, and you turned me down, did you consider once of voting for James over me? I'm sure you didn't, so I would like some reasoning behind why you wouldn't even consider working with me, someone who trusted you that you went against?

Believe me when I say I did toss and turn and kept going back and forth with my decision on that one. But the damage was already done at that point. You voted me the previous round and was even thinking of getting rid of me. You striked first by getting rid of Colby and you know how important of an ally Colby was to me but you got rid of him. That didn't sit well with me because that means you didn't trust our alliance and I expected absolute trust from my allies but instead you copped out and voted a "threat" but you kept 2 threats? I didn't get that. So I had to do what I had to do. And also my reasoning why I ultimately did it was because in voting you out I gained 2 allies in James and Jaime whereas if I kept you, I would have lost James and then lose Jaime to the other side too. And who knows what you would have done at that point and it prolly didn't matter as we would not have the numbers to take down the other side who had all the HIIs and stuff.


3. Other than blabbing to James, was there any other time in this game where you completely, blatantly, lied right to my face.

I don't recall doing anything else to you other than that. If I have then I may have forgotten because all my focus was into the game. But as far as I know I haven't done anything to lose your trust in me other than that incident.

4. Which Buffy character would you associate with each juror, and why?

Here is my attempt at comparing the jury to Buffy characters.

Nate - Jonathan. Like Jonathan, Nate was trying to work with the threats in the game to avoid being the target but eventually this became his downfall as both Ethan and Tyson turned on him. With Jonathan, Andrew & Warren turned on him.

Monica - Faith. Like Faith, Monica was a very strong, independent and opinionated girl. She was once part of my alliance but went rogue just like Faith and tried to do her own things and tried to take control of the game.

Kel - Giles. People like to talk to him or rather he likes to talk to everyone and see how they are thinking. To me he was my go to person to everything that is going on cause he literally talks to everyone. One thing I can compare about him with Giles was the fact that Giles attempted to kill Spike against Buffy's wishes. Just like the countless times I told him of a plan and he didn't follow through with it.

Sarah - Dawn. Dawn needed saving all the time as she was the "key". Just like Dawn, Sarah has been saved countless of times even though she was meant to go and yet we see Sarah keep living on and on till the jury phase.

Colby - Riley. Riley was your good old hero type kind of guy. Colby was also seen in the same kind of limelight and was considered a big threat in this game for his leadership and sociability.

Tyson - Spike. The biggest badass with a sense of humor. There is no way to compare Tyson than to Spike himself. He was able to manipulate people to let them do his bidding and still be loved for what he does even though he was considered a villain. That takes a lot of guts. And only Tyson can pull off a Spike-ish persona.

Ethan - Drusilla. Drusilla was to Spike as Ethan was to Tyson. Drusilla has this ability to deceive people and just like Ethan's ability to sell you a used car like it's brand new. It is just so fitting to compare him to Spike's girlfriend (aka Tyson's boy).

Ben - Tara. Tara was very quiet and reserved. Just like Tara, Ben was very quiet in this game and because of that no one really knew where he stood.

Jaime - Cordelia. Cordelia was considered a bitchy type of person on the show but became a favorite along the way. Jaime was someone I never really considered working with until that point in time when I discussed with James that we needed to work together and so he tagged along Jaime with him. So to me Jaime was an enemy turned ally too just like James.

What would you consider my three worst qualities and why?

I would say, being self-righteous, being self-centered, and completely ignoring your alliance.

Because I don't understand why you would take out people that have placed their faith in you 100%. And I know you told me it was for your own good but look where it got you, it really didn't get your farther anyway. It just made you the target and was gotten rid of since your newfound allies were too selfish to not protect you. I would have protected you with all my might but since you betrayed the alliance we had established I wasn't willing to protect you anymore. You called me the one who backstabbed you but what do you call getting rid of Colby then who you knew was someone I really wanted to work closely with? You stuck the first knife in our backs and after trying to deal with that I don't think I could ever deal with you at that point especially when you only were giving me vague hints and saying you don't have a "plan". SO I had to make my own plans without you.


Thanks for giving me the time of day Monica and good luck with whatever decision you may have decided on.

Tom your Buffy comparisons are spot-on.

I do sort of find it hilarious how Ethan is Dru. But I totally see it, and Ty being Spike is amazing. And me being Faith is just <3333

Great job you three, great answers.

And Mila <333
