Candice's Q&A

[Candice Woodcock]

Firstly, I want to congratulate all of you. Not only are you guys just deserving to be here, I honestly believe this is one of the best final three combinations this merge could have produced. You should all be really proud.

I'm gonna try to keep this relatively short. Any real, long-term game questions will surely be answered by the other 12 jurors, so I'm just gonna keep this to things relating to my personal relationships with the three of you. Enjoy...



I'm thrilled that we got so close over the course of this game. You were easily one of my favorite people to speak to, and I felt that we really connected in a way that I didn't with that many other people here. You were a huge factor in my game, and even though I don't think either one of us actually planned to go all the way with one another, I'm happy to have worked with you for so long.

Now onto my question, I don't see this coming as a surprise since this isn't the first time I asked you this question:

What exactly happened that allowed you to find out so early that I wanted to pull something against you? I obviously know some of the factors (as I'll bring up in my questions to Vee and Miki), but I'd love to hear the full, elaborate story.

Thanks



As I mentioned to Sydney, you were also more than a pleasure to work with. Although we spoke a little bit beforehand, I'm really happy we developed the relationship that we currently have now. You played an exceptional game and I'm excited to read some of your jury answers.

Now onto mine. I know all of your reasons as to why you allowed Sydney to get to the final three after I was voted out, but I wanna know this:

Was it supposed to be me? I feel like I have a right to know if I was simply being played by two of my closest allies, or Sydney has a right to know if voting me out was a lot more beneficial to her than she originally thought. Reading through both yours and Miki's opening statements, it's not explicitly stated in either.

Gracias, and good luck



Oh Miki, I'm going to explain exactly how I viewed our relationship. You and I have both went behind each others back to make a plan (For example, me initiating the blindside for Brandon, and you leaving me in the dark for the Kourtney and Judd vote), but I always knew that when it came down to it, we'd work together. Like, when the double tribal council happened, I wasn't phased at all because I knew that you'd flip to our side because I viewed you as so close an ally. Even though I always tried to keep in mind to not invest my full trust in you, I basically did. I told you a lot about what was going through my head, and I felt you did the same to me. However, I feel like I started to notice some sketchy moves from you after I was voted out.

1. How close of an ally did you view me? Was I always in your top priority to get to the end with, or was it Vee? I obviously know that it was very possible for all of us to make it to the end, but say we couldn't, who was your #1? Basically, as I just explained to you how I felt our relationship was, I want you to do the same.

2. What role did you play in me going? You have admitted to me that you knew Sydney knew I wanted her out, but why didn't you tell me? Did you just not want me to target Sydney so badly that you'd tell her what I think without telling me what she thinks? Does that mean you viewed Sydney as a bigger ally than you did me? You must clearly see how sketchy of an ally this makes you appear, so I'd love to hear your defense to what I just said and explain exactly what happened that day.

Thanks, Miki

So those questions seem easy enough for the three of you. I compliment you all on the amazing games you have played. I'm happy to be in such good graces with all three of you, and I'm even happier the winner will be somebody that I truly like and find deserving. I'm really looking forward to your answers. Thanks!

I will admit our relationship was exactly how you described it. We went behind each others backs to pull moves off but at the end of the day I knew we would team up and work together. How could we not? We have such great history together in games. I will admit going into the game you were my biggest ally apart from Kim. But I was very hurt by the Brandon move so after the swap my #1 ally had become Vee. While yes she screwed over Kim without telling me She didn't leave me in a tough spot on my tribe. So that is why Vee was my number 1 this game. Had the Brandon thing gone down differently I feel like Vee wouldn't of taken your spot as my biggest ally in the game. And by differently I mean by like maybe telling me Brandon was going? Lol

I did not view Sydney as a bigger ally then you and to be honest I was just ask shocked as you were when you left. I knew she wanted you out and that she was voting you. However I was unaware that the boys were voting you as well. I didn't tell you about her voting you cause I know how you get when someone targets you and or doesn't give you your way. And I really was positive chase was leaving. Had I known Sydney was scheming to get you out I would of told you

Thank you Candice♥ I am really glad to have gotten to know you in this game and hope we continue to talk after it. We have so much in common with one another and I was able to talk about both game and non related game things with you effortlessly. My relationship to you in this game was one of the biggest highlights for me socially.

Now onto my question, I don't see this coming as a surprise since this isn't the first time I asked you this question:

What exactly happened that allowed you to find out so early that I wanted to pull something against you? I obviously know some of the factors (as I'll bring up in my questions to Vee and Miki), but I'd love to hear the full, elaborate story.

When we first formed our final four with Vee/Miki, I knew one of us would probably get the short end of the stick if that was to be the actual final four. I'm not positive exactly when Myself/Miki/Vee formed a finals deal. I think it just happened naturally in that I expressed to them that I would work with them to the very end of the game. But I remember telling people like Sean and Chase I had no final deals whatsoever, because I technically didn't. I just officially had a final four with you all. I felt like Miki/Vee implied it to me but initially it was not firmly cemented. So it was then when I made a finals deal with Chase, securing him as a solid ally with me and someone I could actually trust to go to Final Tribal Council with as little doubts as possible - because nobody wanted to take him either. I think the Me/Vee/Miki thing became more real after you left the game.

It was the final 8 when I first heard you wanted me out of the game. But it was earlier when I first heard from Miki, (Around Final 10) that you felt I would for sure win the final immunity challenge. That was the first small sign to me as to where I fell with you in our final four, because the way you phrased it implied it was dangerous to bring me there. So I knew my position in our actual final 4 was going to be a rocky one..but I really wished to be loyal to you guys. (And I had confidence in my endurance skills at that point) But anyways at final 8, Vee messaged me and told me that you said something interesting and I asked what. Vee told me you were concerned about my idol and about my performance in competitions. You then asked Vecepia if she agreed that I should be taken out before the final 4. You then told Vee that Alex also shared the same concerns you did about me, and that you had him bagged. (Which later I used to turn Alex against you) So after I heard this all from Vee, I confirmed it with Miki as well that you would want me out soon.

Initially upon hearing of your betrayal, I asked Miki and Vee if I could just idol you from the game next round, because that way their hands would be clean from it. They were approving of the idea. So after Kim left we headed to Final 7 immunity where you and me went at it. You were telling Vee/Miki to attack my coordinates. Vee and Miki's willingness to do so was not sitting right with me. I was bonding with Sean during this challenge, feeling similar goals and working the vote in the process. But afterwards I could tell Vee was not ready to give you up, and wanted Chase or Alex instead. Miki/Vee surely felt they would know what you would be doing if brought farther. It gave them all the control if you stayed, especially when they didn't seem to want you out remotely soon. (At least at the time I knew Miki for sure didn't) I do think they wanted you in the final 4 and who knows from then, but for me I had to get you out before then and for my own game.


Thanks Candice!

Candice! <3 Thank you so much for your question love!

As hard as the F5 would have been for me had it been Sean/You/Sydney/Miki/Me, yes it would have been you sitting here right now had you made it that far. Sydney would have left at the F5 under those circumstances because I would have trusted you to not vote me out at the F4. I was not only confident in the trust I had built with you, but I also felt on a personal level you were right behind Miki when it came to who I was closest with out of the F7. As I said in Kim's question, I did have a very tight bond with Sydney that included me having her phone number, but you and I got extremely close during this game, and knew each other prior. I know at that vote I would have had to pick between you and Sydney, and you would have been the person I chose.

I hope this clears everything up, and if you have any follow ups, I'll be more than happy to touch on those as well. Love you so much sweets! Thanks for your questions!

Thanks guys!
