Yul's Question

[Yul Kwon]

Hey everyone! Congrats on making it to the F4. You've all deserved your spot here.

First off, I'd like to say to Russell, Jaime, and Aras is that I have no hard feeling about voting me off. I admit I was being over-controlling and it was a smart move to take me out.

My question to everyone is "What big move did YOU make in this season?"
if you say how you listened and followed orders from someone else, that won't count.

To Aras, Jaime, and Russell: "Who was behind me being voted off?"
I'm curious to see what everyone has to say.

To Brenden: "Who were the people you allied with and were there anyone you backstabbed to get where you are?"

Remember, I perfer honest answers

[Russell Hantz]

"What big move did YOU make in this season?"

I made some big move in this season .

First one

I was working with you , we had an alliance however i feel that i was in the bottom of that alliance. I also didn't like how you were controlling every vote and making always all the decision so i knew that i needed to get rid of you because you were one of my biggest competitions in the game . So i try to blind side you but how i did that ? well that day you pmed me and you told me that the vote was going o be Rafe and i made you believe that i was going to vote for him , at the same time i knew that you were working with Rafe so i knew that Rob was going to give mvp to Rafe since Rob was with you too . Ok so after i knew that everything was going to be how i was thinking i told Jaime to vote you out. i'm no going to lie to you i was pissed because i thought that you were smiting me so that was another reason i wanted you out because i didn't want someone in my game that didn't like me . now i just found out that you were no the person who smited me

then i needed another vote so i talked to natalie and she voted for you too. When i got rid of you i knew that this was going to be the beginning of a wonderful game for me


Second big move


I had an alliance with James since he was in the horadi tribe and i was in the Nadhifu. When Tom made the switch and he was on my tibe i knew that it was going to be a big chance for me of working with him but i didn't like that he was with alicia , darrah , and probably Rafe. when we lose the challenge nicole told me that he told her that the vote was going to be darah , but i didn't believe that because why James was going to get rid of Darrah a member of the old horadi . so i pmed James and i told him hey wh are we voting and he told me nicole so i was pissed that they were going to be get rid of my girl so i made him believe that i was voting for her and i cast my vote to eliminate him . and i told jaime to give vp to nicole because she was mvp . at the end James hot eliminated and i knew that James was like the boss of his alliance so it was obvious that alicia and darrah were going to be along .


third big move

getting rid of Rob and Darrah

Rob and i talked a lot but the reason why i didn't like him is because he was working with a lot of people in this game i could feel it so he was a threat to me so i decided to get rid of him and make people to vote him out too

and then we have darrah this girl was another threat because she was playing a quiet game but at the same time she was strong . that day peih was mvp so i knew she was going to safe alicia because it was obvious that the vote was going to be her but at the end the vote was darrah , so people kind of believe that alicia was going to be the one getting eliminated but it was no like
that .

well before finishing with the big moves haha i need to say that winning mvp and also winning 3 challenges in a row was like a super move because i knew that after wining a lot of challenge i was going to become a target but at the same time i wanted to become the strongest player of the game so i take the risk and i didn't stop and i continue winning the challenges . after this i learned that to make big moves you also need to risk your self a little bit and thats what i did.


"Who was behind me being voted off?"

i was behind that vote like i said i felt that i was in the bottom of the alliance and i didn't like that you were controlling everything

Welcome back Yul!

"What big move did YOU make in this season?"/"Who was behind me being voted off?"

The first big move will as well cover you being voted out. And as you have figured out from Russell answer it was not Aras who was the third vote it was Natalie. You were hoping Nicole would be a fourth however she didn't get the PM in time. As I stated in previous answers, I felt you were targeting me for no reason, I spoke to you about it, trying to let you know you were making the wrong decision however I felt like you were just not hearing me. So I talked to Russell about possibly trying to blindside you. He believed you were smiting him, I thought it was either you or Rafe, so he was on board. Russell states he was behind the vote, however, if you recall the conversation you and I had regarding Natalie:

Jaime: Natalie took a long time to complete the challenge
Yul: I noticed that too
Jaime: considering Darrah did it in 15 min
Jaime: and it took her a hour longer

I sent Natalie a different version and told her you were targeting her for the vote:

Yul: have you heard from Natalie and Aras
Jaime: i have not, i sent aras a PM
Yul: Natalie took a long time to complete the challenge
Jaime: I noticed that too
Yul: considering Darrah did it in 15 min
Yul: and it took her a hour longer

Natalie jumped on board with voting for you, instead of ME as per you and we were able to blindside you. Yeah, it was dirty, however as the vote proved, Rafe was saved that round as Russell and I suspected and I would have gone home. Blindsiding you saved my game.


I believe I gained Rob's trust which was a huge move as I never trusted him and did not intend on working with him. I would have liked to, I just feel those line were drawn in the sand long before.

I feel getting Rafe out was huge for my alliance, and deciding to go with Natalie as the vote and saving Nicole.

The Darrah vote was another huge move and that began with Aras and I. Aras felt she needed to go because she was sneaky and he told me she had a HHI, so we needed her to felt safe that round and not use it. Peih-Gee had won MVP and we thought she would give it to Alicia. So to ensure that happened I spoke to Alicia telling her Russell name as well as her name were the only names being thrown around and I was voting for Russell. I also spoke to Darrah telling her Russell and Alicia were the names being thrown out and that I was voting for Alicia. This proved to be a huge move as Darrah had 2 HHI's!


Overall I felt like I had influence of alot of the votes by winning MVP so many times, however unlike Russell, I never seemed to be a target. It enable my core alliance to remain safe throughout the game and me to be sitting next to my final 3 at the end. The votes were strategic and thought out almost every round.

Thanks for your questions Yul, you really were a force to be reckoned with

"What big move did YOU make in this season?"

James was actually successfully blindside because of me. I knew early on i would be switching alliances, so helping eliminated james to keep nicole around was a good move. i used my connection with darrah (unware the information she would tell me would be used against her) to comfim the vote was nicole which i passed on to jaime were she went on to save nicole ledding to james leaving. James wouldnt have left if i didnt get jaime to save nicole.

The round alicia left, was the round brett should have gone. Russel had expressed pretty clear he wanted brett out. But because of mine and bretts past and alicia was clearly a much bigger threat, i tried putting a plan into action. I told jaime to saved nicole which would cancel amy votes she got and I used my double voter, an item i won in the auction challenge to give alicia 2 votes. I saw her as a mucher bigger threat then brett, who russel wanted out. I also worned brett of the voting (however he didnt listen. he was ment to use an item even the votes to that left either alicia with more votes or in a tie). But he didnt.
I told russel and jaime that i was only voting this was as a back up plan incase brett did use his item (as he was ment to).
Lucky aras voted alicia and brett was saved.

"Who were the people you allied with and were there anyone you backstabbed to get where you are?"

My first was jaime, a pre-made alliance where we were ment to go by aliases, but that didnt work cause of my big mouth.

I already knew the male hodari members, brett, jamie and james so forming an alliance with rob and them was no problem. We easly had numbers over the females.
I also for awhile i felt a close bond with darrah, But i never alliance for her but felt terrible for voting her.

When i found out that rob, james and alicia had a cross alliance with you and other members of your tribe, i worked myself a member through james (i also remember confirming my member ship with you) after making sure the all male alliance was still intacted. (which i think ended after rob made the other plan, he just forgot to let me, jamie and brett no).
But i never consider myself an offical member thinking this allanice wasnt never going to last. Both you and rob were hugh threats and almost everyon knew of the allaince.
-I didnt vote out james but i did help in this, as stated above.
-I never trusted rob, after figuring out about the cross alliance, him trying to keep it from me and being such a snake. So i did vote him after he lost my trust.
-as i dont didnt count a member, i was never actually allianced to alicia.


Jaime and i made our final 2 a final three with aras.
Knowing them i was able to make the switch to russel, nat and nicole.
Voting nicole was another tough vote as i felt close with her without getting to even really know her. we did speak alot (around and after mid merge) but not voting her ment i would have to vote aras or jamie which was a bigger backstab.

I never ever set out to betray anyone, and i only backstabbed my older allies who went behind me first.

[Aras Baskauskas]

What big move did YOU make in this season?
Getting people and convincing them to vote for Darrah who was a huge threat in this game(she was voted out with 2 idols),nobody saw her as a threat.This move really benefited my game because it was going to be really difficult to vote her out.Nobody saw her as a threat and instead they wanted to vote out Alicia who wasn't threatning to me as much as Darrah,and I had a side alliance with her so it was way better to keep her

Who was behind me being voted off?
Although I did want to vote you out,as you were over controlling and masterminding things.I didn't vote for you,and I really have no idea who was behind this vote.I didn't want to betray anyone that early in the game so I postponed the idea of voting you out until the right time comes,however Rafe was given immunity and some ppl voted for u so you were voted out

Thanks Yul
