Lucas: Hi Lucas, you seemed to have been very good at building an alliance around you that protected you from being eliminated. You also won the immunity pass. My question to you is, do you have any regrets in your game?
Tom C asks
Hayden, as you are aware, I was in an alliance with you since the third task. You may believe that I think you first betrayed my trust when you deliberately voted me out along with Lucas at the final four tribal council. But you’re wrong. I found out you’d told Cal you were his ‘number one ally’, and yet at the next tribal council, you didn’t give the idol to me, nor Cal, but to Lucas. At this point it became clear you were in multiple secret alliances. It is my opinion that integrity and truth are two of the most important things in winning this game, and they are two traits I held true to you until you betrayed me. However, the same cannot be said for you, and you might lose the title for it.
Lucas, I didn’t have that many dealings with you in this game, and I am unsure what your actual tactics were. Many in the jury would argue that you got here by luck, however, I do commend the fact that you won that final 7 pass. The Survivor motto goes ‘Outwit, Outplay, Outlast’. You must outwit and outplay your fellow castaways in order to outlast them. I fail to see good examples of either of you outwitting me: outwitting is different to deceiving and backstabbing. It is also unfortunate that the person who ‘outplayed’ everyone best in this game has just been voted out, and as a result with this decision I’m put in a difficult place. Therefore, my questions to you are:
Hayden: How many people were you allied with in this game, and who was your strongest ally?
Lucas: Can you give a brief overview of your strategy, and did it go as planned?
Ross asks
To both of you, what would you say was your biggest move in the game?

Lucas do you think you would have been in the final 2 if you didn't have that pass?
Hayden - do you have any regrets? |

Riley: Not particularly, I never regret any of my moves or how I play in these sort of games, I just do whatever I can do to survive, actually getting the pass could be perceived as a regret, but it all came down to luck anyway and if that is one of the reasons that gives the edge to have people vote for Hayden over me then I will just have to live with that, he played the game really hard, but I felt I played in a way that was just as risky, I was always tipsy turvy bar my alliance with Hayden, I'd have never turned on him at any stage.
TomC: Hiya luv, I disagree with you that I didn't really have a way of outwitting. I would have gone long before jury had I not took my chance of getting an immunity idol, a whole tribe wanted me out at one stage and I had to blindside Daniel. in order to survive, I may have got lucky with a final 7 pass but the opportunity was there to get one and I got it, I don't think it hindered my game at all, but I did relax for a bit so my strategy from that point was to ensure after final 7 I had alliances and having both Ross and Hayden helping me at different points ensured I got further, it wasn't just a case of them dragging me along, I did my best to make it interesting myself, hence why I gave Samm the chance when I got the opportunity to give a jury member the vote just to see what he'd do and hopefully show the 'weaves' I appreciated their time in the game just as much and hopefully that means I get their jury vote, especially considering Hayden and the others worked hard to get them all out, I do feel what I did was successful in terms of the game, otherwise I wouldn't be at the final two right now, it was never my intentions to get you out to 'outwit' you but having Hayden on board always meant he'd go for you over me at the end stage, so I feel there was some 'outplaying' there.
Ross: My biggest move definitely had to be my one vote blindside, otherwise I'd have ended up in about 14th or however early into the game it was, rather than be a potential winner.
LukeB: In hindsight probably not, I wasn't performing as strongly really in the immunity challenges as I thought I was, but fortunately I did get it and built up a strong enough alliance to get me into the final, but then who is to say I wouldn't have, bar the tribal council when I was whitewashed I never felt anybody was having a strong case to vote me out, because there was times post merge where I wasn't picking up any votes, so people clearly saw bigger threats.
Pete: Hayden and me worked together from the start, he was the one that essentially got me to use the blindside idol when I did, I was going to use it anyway, but it was a stronger incentive when he told me Daniel. was after getting me out. Ross was a good ally for me in the game and I'm sort of glad it turned into a final 2 jury instead of a final 3 jury in the end, because it hopefully ensured I gained his jury vote.
