Skyler:
Badger claims he doesn't do well socially, but I can say one thing, he sure does know how to smooz! LOL
But I guess the way one responds to jury questions is all part of the game.
Huell :
I've been reading and trying to decipher what I'm reading verses what I know went down.
Badger keeps referring to you as having this great diplomacy. But he told me that he wanted you out because people liked you and he didn't want to sit next to you in finals.
When he put Patrick and I up, you were like "Dude, homies foreva". You were all happy.
I was just shakin my head, because I knew what was coming.
But then I thought maybe Badger is turning his back on me and Patrick. But sure enough he wasn't. He stayed true to his word that he wanted you out!
He set you up in the end, because he wanted you out. He knew you'd blow off that challenge. Which would give him the chance to back door you without getting his hands dirty. Patrick would do it for the three of us. Left up to any of us three, you were going home.
What didn't make sense to me is, that then he turns around and TELLS you what he did.
Now, why didn't he want to get his hands dirty when he turned around and ends up telling you what he did anyway? I took that him not wanting to get his hands dirty was because you'd side with him once you became part of the jury.
But the truth is, that not only he wanted YOU out. But you wanted HIM out! You told me over and over that you wanted him out. Just like he kept saying he wanted you out! What I'm not understanding is which is which? You certainly seem to think you're "homies".
It's mind boggling!
Skyler:
Only YOU know what you really meant. However, I think you meant exactly what you said. Stating that it was a boys click and you were left out. You spelled it out so clearly.
Hell, I even said something to the effect at one point, I believe I referred to it as "good old boys" type of thing.
But then, Skyler, when you were challenged on it, you right away said you were, "joking". Skyler, it didn't sound or seem like you were joking at all.
I understand Huell saying it happens in reality games all the time, however, typically, rarely do the girls win over the boys. I think that's because there is a big trust issue with women. And rightly so.
Is that your MO Skyler? To take things back, once you're challenged on them? Gyrl up Skyler, if you say what you mean, then mean what you say, and stick to it.
Re: Keeping the Active verses keeping the In Active. Which is right and which is wrong?
Well, here's what I think. This is only my opinion, (because I don't think there is a right or wrong here).
I think it depends on your perspective. If you win challenges consistently, then you start thinking strategic, because you got the challenge thing basically in the bag. You're thinking, who do you have deals with,who can you manipulate more... things like that. So, one would be more apt to go with what others are saying. Or how can you use the inactive as another number on your side, how can you get them to help you in the end.
If you do not win challenges (like me:), then I'm going to WANT the inactive to stay. My best bet is to vote the people that are winning challenges out. I can win over a non participant a lot more than I can over a challenge monster.
Skyler, this seems to be a very strong point for you. You've never really said WHY you want to send the inactive home. But, my guess (correct me if I'm wrong), is that you are basing this on a mind think of " fairness", because you think if your not here to play the game, then you should be sent home.
That might play well in other games, but in this game, keeping inactive players can be used very nicely, in a strategic manner.
Perhaps you've not looked at the other side of it.
All these things kept coming up in my mind while I was reading you guys back and forth, and I just had to make a comment on them. Otherwise, refraining from saying what I'm thinking would really be "inactive".
