Matt's Madness

[Matthew Von Ertfelda]

Hey all, sorry it took so long for me to get here and do my questions. Not sure if you'll have time to answer still, I actually kinda forgot abt it yesterday cause I had a lot going on... but anyway...

I'm pretty sure I know who I'm voting. I read the other Q-and-A's and they did a lot for my decision. I have a question for Cirie and Tyrone that is the same for both, and it's easy, I just want you guys to tell me your biggest game move. If you can't think of one in particular, you can give me a spiel about why you played a good game, although that's already kinda been done in the previous questions.


To Natalie, I wanna know why you went to the end with Cirie and Tyrone. You may recall, on the week that I auto-destructed, I told you I didn't want to work with you anymore because I didn't want to just go to the end with Cirie and Tyrone, and I could see that's what you were doing, just leaving all of our tribemates out to dry. I don't have the greatest memory, but I am pretty sure you told me that I could still go to the end with you, and you told me that Cirie/Tyrone weren't necessarily locked in to the finale. You said they were weak, so that's why you wanted to bring them, but it wasn't set in stone. I still feel like it was set in stone.

So I'm wondering, other than WHY you ultimately decided to do what I always knew you were going to do... I'd also like to know honestly when you decided it. I'll preface this by saying that because you brought the two "easiest" people, or the "weak people" in your own words, I'm probably not voting you anymore, although I was really going to. If you want, you can also try and explain why you deserve to win after having brought "the weak people", but that's optional. In my opinion, all you ever did was win challenges agains the people who were easiest to beat, and then you screwed over every single person from our tribe. But like I said, if you want, you can try and explain it in a different light.

Good luck, you'll probly still win with or without my vote



Especially good luck to Cirie

[Cirie Fields]

Hey Matt I know your vote might be decided already but I'll still try my best in answering your question.

My biggest move in this game would be making my alliance with Tyrone. I could have easily been voted out in the tribal stage and then it would be someone else from our old tribe sitting in the finals with Natalie and Tyrone.

However, I knew I needed someone I could trust. I trusted Tyrone and this is what helped me get to the final 3.

[Tyrone Davis]

My biggest move was making the alliance with Cirie. In the tribal stages, our tribe was slowly getting exterminated, and the best way for me to guarantee my safety was to the most powerful type of alliance possible, and that's a 2 person alliance. Me and Cirie stayed together from that point on all the way to the end, and it's the best decision I made, since it got me to where I am now.

[Natalie Tenerelli]

Alright, well I went to the end with Cirie and Tyrone because I felt that I could trust them the most. The round that Francesca left, you may recall that I really wanted to get rid of Tyrone because I didn't want the Yao tribe to fall and crumble. I believe you also said that you would like for Tyrone or Cirie to go home. Todd and Chad were very adament on taking Francesca out first, and because of that Francesca was very adament on taking out Todd first so that made things a lot harder. You and I came up with a genius plan (which could have easily worked if you had changed your vote, sorry but it's true) to take out Tyrone instead of Francesca, and we even got Francesca to change her mind and vote for Tyrone rather than Todd which ultimately led to her own demise. From that, you can see that I was definitely willing to stick with the Yao tribe but you made a mistake that wasn't going to rebound. After Francesca left, you told me that Todd was going after me and I sure as hell wasn't going to just sit there and let him. I was going to try and do everything in my power to stay around, and if that was winning challenges and taking him out then I was definitely going to do it. It also added fuel to the fire with the way that he was treating me, so that just sealed his own fate. Cirie and Tyrone were never locked into the finale, especially not Tyrone because I didn't even know him and I barely talked to him. Cirie definitely had a very good chance of working with me though, because I know her from other games and I think she's a great person. I don't believe I ever said that Cirie and Tyrone were weak, as I believe everyone that made it to the merge was strong in their own aspect and was a bump along the road in making it to the end. Some obviously bigger than others, but still bumps nonetheless. Like I said, I brought them to the end because I felt that I could trust them the most. However, it was never set in stone because I definitely kept all of my options open. I wasn't always going to do it, I hadn't decided it until you blew up actually whether you choose to believe me or not. I don't think that I brought the two "easiest" people and like I said I don't recall ever referring to them as "weak", because they each had trials and tribulations along the way in this game and they both deserve to be here just as much as anyone else. I believe I deserve to win because not only did I dominate in the physical aspect, I also was the main culprit in the pecking order after Francesca left. Yes I won challenges and I don't think I "screwed over every single person from our tribe" because like I said, I was very vocal about wanting Francesca to stay and I had every intention on taking out Tyrone but you told me that Todd was going after me so I wasn't going to be a sitting duck about it. I also had a pretty good social game in my opinion though, because I wouldn't have been able to take some of this people out when I did if I didn't have a good social game. That's my perspective on the matter, but you have the right to disagree.

I think you were probably the only vote I would've received, but we'll see.

[Matthew Von Ertfelda]

Sorry for not voting you, in the end, Nat. After further reflection, whether you believe me or not, I actually regret my decision now.

Thank you for taking the time to write this, I appreciate it. Really, truly, my apologies to you. You may very well have been robbed of a win, and I'm sorry if it was my doing
