#6289 She is revolutionising Stranded, especially if she gets to F3. Proving the haters wrong, all the pricks who think you need to be a crazy cunt to win.

Probably the kindest heart I have come across in a game and I'm really hoping she can get all the way to the end. She's been fantastic

#6290 She is so unbelievably nice. When I first met her I was like "okay, I know I'm not gonna like this girl", but that changed really fast... I don't think she'll have the votes to win, but if she can bring it at the last FTC I'd consider voting for her because she's flat out the most likable person left, which has to count for something.

The only thing I just can't with, is the fact that she said she could care less about winning and losing. That's just so different from the way my psycho-competitive mind is able to approach any kind of game lol, but in a way I almost admire her for it. She could care less about going against the grain, truly doesn't give a FUCK. Problem is, that makes me think she might not fully fight for it at FTC, but I hope I'm wrong. I do think she'll most likely get to the end if she escapes the first vote tonight.

#6301 If any of you think Sugar isn't playing the game you're wrong.
She paired up with me right from the get go, and was more than willing to make moves. Come swap, she knew I would stay loyal, and that Dan and I held all of the cards, so she worked herself into a position where she could be in the know over most of the other people left in the game.

She's upfront and honest about exactly what she wants, and doesn't BS about it like most do. She wanted Heidi out for personal reasons, but was smart enough to know that wouldn't be her best move, so she just continued to feud with her, giving people a reason to keep her around longer. She spent the first half of the game in the majority, and has been able to survive being in a minority too. She's constantly called a goat, attacked, and brushed to the side, yet finds herself in the thick of things almost every round.

Not to mention she's probably the most genuine person here. Great personality, phenomenal sense of humor, and more likable than anyone else in the game. Just as Sierra said, if she can survive tonight, she will probably have a clear path to the end. I'll be really fuckin happy if she can pull it off.

Amen brother, she's playing a great game. There can only be a few top dogs in an alliance and that was you & I, but Sugar always had (and still does) her pulse on the game and is playing it really smart. I think she'll come into her own even more in the latter stages

#6310 Obviously can't comment on too much but reading your posts i just have to say... I'm impressed with the jury's ability to consider everyone and make an argument for or against them all.

I think it's a testament to this season overall and to you all as a cast that EVERYONE in the final 6 at least has a shot at winning.

#6312 I get what you guys are saying, but I really doubt I'm voting for this bitch in any circumstance. She got mad at me for my evaluation of her BATTLESHIP skills and never forgave me

You have to put yourself in her shoes though. She's nice af, and she saw our tribe forum bagging the shite out of her...especially Heidi. I think you and her would have worked things out given another round or 2 together.

She told me that it wasn't as much what you said, but how you acted towards her when she already knew you had done that. She could tell you were being fake, therefore lost the ability to trust you. Which may seem petty at first glance, but seems like a good call on her part.

#6318 She forgave me so quickly for voting for her at Pohnpei too and said it's cool, let's work together, and almost immediately became one of my favorites. The #1 player trait IMO is adaptability (maybe second only to likability), she has both of them down... her PM style really works. I could never be as effective as she's able to be with so few words, and the fact that she was able to find real trust with a lot of people without needing ANY of the big novels that me and plenty of others use is impressive.

It's kind of the thing I love to see in games, because so much of the time players just blend into each other, the same shit from so many different people and it just gets so fucking bland and tedious... actually having a different personality/approach has become a rare thing and keeps the game fresh. That's been my favorite aspect of both of these last two Stranded seasons, where there have been so many different styles.

Looking back, my FAVORITE Sugar moment so far was when she pretty much told you to shove it at that Tribal, Dan. icon_laughing At the time of course I wanted Mookie to stay, but I think she basically knew you were gonna keep her anyway, so why piss people off or promise something like that? Instead she solidified her "honest" nature publicly in the perfect way, and that probably was what planted the seed in my head to make me think she could be trusted.

#6444 I'm honestly really touched, It's funny to go through a game where I got a lot of hate and then to come out and read this....yup you got me right in the feels. thanks so much

and Rich, I actually really wanted to work with you, but yes I was more turned off by the way you reacted to my thoughts and not so much that you "made fun" of me.

nothing personal at all, you guys were all awesome, even Heidi

Alright fair enough. I really thought it was personal based on what you said to me. I really had very little chance to work with you because I was always close with Heidi and you two really didn't ever get along. So it was a tough sell from the get go :{
