Bob's Questions

[Bob Crowley]

First of all, I would like to say, congratulations on making the final two. The two of you both deserve your spots and used different methods to get here. You both played well and have all of my respect.

Now, on that note:
Colleen-IF this was a personal decision, you would have my vote locked up. However, you said in your opening statement that you took a leadership role at certain points of this game. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to give me an example. The only problem I have voting for you is this very fact-I saw very little initiative taken by you and a lot of alliance hopping and a lot of going along with plans, often asking "What's the vote" or "What are we doing?" I will need an example of when you took a leadership role to vote for you. The reason being, the player sitting next to you, Liz, was a key role in every vote this entire game and was the go-to-gal when a blindside was to be constructed. I feel that Elisabeth outplayed you from Day 1-39. Therefore, whydo you deserve my vote if all you were was a follower and the person next to you seemingly outplayed you?

Elisabeth-You are, in my opinion, the best player in this entire cast, and you have nothing but respect from me. Now, with that said, I also have some reservations about giving you my vote. One of those reasons is despite the aforementioned fact that you were a key vote in many blindsides and game-changing votes, you seemingly rode the coattails of many-a-Survivor. Furthermore, I must know-were you ever actually with me? Or was that all fake? I want the truth. Therefore, I ask you, why should I vote for someone who rode many coattails until very late in the game and why else would you deserve my vote?


My vote is wide open and I will vote based on the answers you give me and the other jury members.

On that note, congratulations once more, you should both be very proud of yourselves. Excellent work, ladies.

Hi, Bob!

Thanks for your questions. You can definitely be a leader in this game without having to call the shots. I think sometimes it's more about letting others "think" they're calling the shots... but really in your mind, you know that there time is coming. For example, with you and Rob... I knew for a long time that you guys were strong players- and I loved being in your alliance. BUT, I knew that I had to take the initiative in getting yall out.

That's one example, I'm not sure why Elisabeth noted she was the women's alliance creator- because I had been working on that for quite some time.

Another move where I think I had inititive was way back when I was the swing vote in sending Sundra home. Elisabeth was left out of those plans.

Also, I had alliances with everyone- and I utilized those alliances until they were no more useful to me. Or, like with Elisabeth... I aligned with her way early on in Hilo- and we rode out the waves, together.

I think there's alot of strategy involved in playing this game, and I feel that I did use my strategy to get me here. Nobody "carried" me through- because there are alot of people on that jury that aren't me, and that has to count for something.

Thanks, Bob!


I don't necessarily feel like Elisabeth is a stronger player than me. Just because they were behind some blindsides, doesn't make them better, in my opinion. It just shows that they were crafty. Which is a good thing.



It was my strategy to be apart of the votes. Sometimes I did say "Where's the vote?" That was strategy. Sometimes I made my own moves.

[Elisabeth Filarski]

I must know-were you ever actually with me? Or was that all fake?

No. I was really with you and Rob for the whole game. The problem was the following. When Ethan was voted out, I feel a bit betrayed by you guys. I do understand why you did that and I think it was a great great move. If you havent done that, Ozzy, Ethan, PG and Parvati would be the final four. So it was the best move for Rob and You.

After Russell was out, I was really really really having an hard time knowing what to do. Colleen and I were in the middle. I knew that going against either Rob or you, I wouldnt have won. Unlike Colleen told, I WAS THE ONE who started the women alliance with Parvati and PG. You can ask them. I'm the one who send the Private Message about this.

Bob, I though about the vote where you left about an entire day. Finally, I did it was the best move I could have made at that time.




Why should I vote for someone who rode many coattails until very late in the game and why else would you deserve my vote?
Bob, I think I'm the exact opposite of Coattails in my mind. From day one I created alliances and network.

I did create the Outback alliance with Jerri and Amber. I did also create a relationship with Ethan.

When the tribe was created, I was very in poor position. Alliances were already made and I was alone in Hilo. This is where something huge came up!!!

I found the HII and share the HOW TO with Ethan. Just there, it is showing I was really in the game and Always thinking. Also something no one knows, each time ETHAN or myself were going to Tribal COuncil we were giving the other HIS HII. We were both playing to WIN, and we knew that they will become useful after the merge. I took a huge risk giving my HII each time we faced TC. But again, it was necessary. I was playing to WIN.


I did found the HII without any clues!!!! I


I needed to use this HII wisely, this is where I decided to share the information with the two most powerful player in the game and ask them for safety (Rob and You). I told both of you that once we get to the merge I would give Rob the HII, which I DID. In every vote I was a factor except two votes (sundra, ethan). I did talked a lot with you and a WHOLE LOt with Rob about all the votes. I even did influenced the voting on Puna by talking to Ethan, Rob, Jerri and Amber.


Remember when Penner was voted out, I was really involve in the vote by talking to Rob, you and Ethan. Sorry Jonathan, Ethan wanted you gone so bad.


Once the merge occured, this is where I started to take control. Ethan wanted Jerri gone because she was gunning for Ozzy, Ethan begged me to vote with him. The majority was going toward Jerri, so I needed to go with the flow for this vote.


The next vote, well, I did not have any control lol. The key move was made and Ozzy was the mastermind behind it. DAMN you Ozzy lol.


Than remember how I did talked with you and Bob about voting for Ozzy and then Russell (I know you didnt vote for Russell but you knew). Man o man, I wanted Russell out for so long, he was clearly a great player to avoid those numerous bullet. For those two votes, I did plan seeds a while ago, it took longer than expected, but it did work.


LIke I said earlier, after Russell was out, I created the women alliance.

So BOb, to be honest I did control most of the vote with a partnership of player including Ethan, Rob and you. I wasnt the ONLY strategic player, but I did make BOLD move to get myself in good standing within the game.

- The Idol, the deal with Rob/you about it.
- Sharing info with Ethan
- Creating the women alliance
- Convince Rob and you to get Ozzy/Russell out.

Sorry for the long answer, but your question was great and needed long explanation.

Oh, I forgot a little something *look at Colleen with a smile*.

If you are looking for the coattail, look at Colleen.

She's a great player and great person, a real sweetheart, but she was alway 1-2 moves behind I believe. I must admit she created an alliance with Sundra and I back at Hilo. This alliance did not even last one vote lol.

I will be direct, if you are voting for the SOCIAL aspect, hands down Colleen deserve your vote.
But if you are looking for a STRATEGIC player who had power in the game and who influence the game, well, vote for someone else than Colleen

[Bob Crowley]

Thank you both. I believe I now have enough info to make my decision.
