First Name:Scott Age:21 Location(State/Country):MASS Occupation:Musical Theater Student 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? I was caught as a strong man at the merge from a good tribe. I'm HAPPY to report I was a threat that tried to strong hold things a little too much, and ended up getting blasted for it. Slash, I teamed up with Ryan. There's a major down fall if ANYTHING. Victim of an alliance...should I go on? 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I actually really liked the way I originally played. My biggest flaw was my power trip post merge. I should honestly go with the flow every so often, and only pull power plays when need be. I can feasably win these games because I'm uber nice...and a ruthless catty bitch. Its just a game to me. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? My only sadness with the game was being voted out. I found out after I came home drunk once. THAT was sad. Other than that, you ran a tight ship in my opinion. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic <http://p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic> ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. I was on a tribe with Val, but...hated playing with her. She was awful. The only other game I played in was for Jamie...so I love the gal. Plus, I had a significant alliance with Ben in that game and completely ousted him out of my personal whim. It caused....lets just say a lot of drama for him. and i. but we're better now...when ever we actually talk. Also teamed up with Angela in Jamie's game, and she coudln't trust me...but we still were alligned...and Lynne was "Lydia" in that same game. Crazy girl she was. 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? My tribe was solid. I was there a lot, but not always. I have my moments to shine every so often, but I'm never flawless. I'm honestly an AVERAGE challenge player. No individs for me. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. I'm going to be in a few plays, but mostly Mondays and Thursdays and honestly only through the end of Jan/beg of Feb. And one full week, should I make it that far, mid Feb. Other than that, I should be good. Weekends are always best. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? Thanksgiving break tis all I really have. And even then I'm with computer. Remember that you need AIM to play. In order to talk to your tribemates, you should at least turn on AIM (maybe with an away message) for around at least an hour everyday so you can contact them. You will also need to send a picture to use (you know what’s it’s for) along with your application. The larger and clearer and just of you (i.e. no friends in the photo) the better. Unfortunately I lost all your pictures when my computer crashed so I need to get em back. I get a new computer on Wed or so, I'll send an updated pic then sir, I swear!!! Thanks again and I absolutely cannot WAIT for the game to begin!

First Name: Jake AKA Eve Age: 17 Location(State/Country): CA Occupation: Usher 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? I remember it like it was yesterday... lol, Actually its more of an isolated incident.. a comment I made in an earlier round hit a hard note with one of the castaways (cough ben cough) who took things way out of line and decided to bring his personal life into the game... Everyone said that EVE was wonderful, bubbly, and everyone loved her... when it came down to that Tribal Council, instead of a group of us getting together, Tom's mouth led to mass chaos, and Ben saw this as an oppurtunity to lie and manipulated against me. He tried to convince the minority people that they were gonna be voted out next unless they voted for me. The Chaos moment came when... ME/RICHIE/TOM/ and ERIC realized that their was a deal among Katie, Ben, and Patrick... and we were going to turn the game around and take control... Underdogs taking control and all that nonsense... we needed a fifth vote.. and we thought it was JEN! Tom was confident he could sway her when in actuality she was under the spell of the phone tag alliance and rather then getting rid of TOM OR RICHIE the ones who truly started it, Ben took me out instead. *for shame*... for shimmy shame. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I feel the last game I was just the girl with the lines, everyone loved me, the personality I exuded attracted people towards me because I used sentences that were longer then 3 words. I plan to use my personality as a tool to gain peoples trusts and approval, then later using it against those who stand in my way of winning the grand prize... Since this game, I've learned to never trust a smiling face, because all people who smile, still take shits. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? The only thing I kind of was bugged by, was the fact that people were using a phone as a way of communicating, which ironically, the 3 who partook in this silly act, it ended up being their downfall, when once again, stupid OUTSIDE SHIT gets brought into the game from Ben... omg, BEN was probably the only thing I disliked about All STARS, had he left, I probably wouldve finished top 5, or 4. Your challenges were awesome and you held a consistant SCHEDULE, so I have no recommendation for change... just make sure CONNIES BACK, LOL! 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Generally, the people I have played with from Season 2 are the only ones I've played with since... theirs very few that I have played with from any of the other seasons, rebniks, kevin, angie, tyler, chuck, ERIC, none that I have any deep bond with, besides SEASON 4 ERIC, I love him to death. lol. Alliances I expect to form from my season= KATIE/PATRICK for sure... RICHIE AND KATIE are gonna hate each other, here again, more real life shit, I dont think I should be in any danger from people from my season unless BEN returns... in that case im fucked ! 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? I appeared at every Immunity Challlenge, but the first one! So, I had a pretty clean record, and I did quiet well, I was always really close to winning, and when I was on Aycha, I like never lost immunity, eek, so I was a pretty damn good competitor, Im always close, but not close enough. I did not win a single individual Immunity, SIGH, WHY!!!!!! 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. I probably will have no problems with this because I have a job, and i will be working mostly on weekends, so you can depend on me being their if you dish out the original challenges you have before ! 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? I should not have any. Im home for the holidays! myspace-006.vo.llnwd.net/00260/60/06/260966006_m.jpgpicture of me. pick me sam! lol

First Name: Ross Age: 18 Location(State/Country): Philippines Occupation: Computer Science Student Hey hey former player! Thank you for your interest in playing the All-Stars game of my series! If you are coming back for a second game, something must have gone a little right, and I’m glad that you are interested in playing again. What follows is just a small survey to get some official information from you and have all the stuff I need on file. Take a few minutes to fill it out and send it to sam.burkett@gmail.com (there’s a period after sam in there) let’s say before Thanksgiving. I’d also like to talk to everyone on AIM (SorintheSeeker) so if I see you online say hi to catch up on things. =) The message board is open as of now and more things will be added as November continues. I’m looking to start the game after Thanksgiving with a two week break for the Winter Holidays. Let’s start with the questions! 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? + Sam, you know this better than me. lol + I was voted out after a 2-2 deadlock between me and Kira because the predetermined boot, Will, won immunity. + I was hated by most of the jury after blindsiding two of them that caused them to be voted out. + The jury also thought I was a threat to their "boy", Will. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? + I will try to keep in the middle of everything in tribal relationships and contributions. + Hopefully I can form another small, yet solid alliance. + Generally, I won't change much of my strategy. It will all depend on who will be with me. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? + Like: Another person with the same time-zone, Secret Tribe, Surprise Immunity Challenge, Ambassador Meetings, Good pace, And lots of other surprises + Dislike: No Masquerade, Jury replaced me with Kira... lol + I seem to have an idea on how the "map" for all-stars would go. And I think it is a very good idea. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Assuming that these people treat me the same... Strong Allies: Changhui Allies: Kevin, Hector, Kira Enemies: Doug Strong Enemies: Matt, WillMa 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? + I missed only one immunity challenge lol. When I got booted. + I won one individual immunity; + and I give weak-average contributions to tribal challenges. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. + I don't have classes during those times. However, things may change come January. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? + I am not sure Remember that you need AIM to play. In order to talk to your tribemates, you should at least turn on AIM (maybe with an away message) for around at least an hour everyday so you can contact them. You will also need to send a picture to use (you know what’s it’s for) along with your application. The larger and clearer and just of you (i.e. no friends in the photo) the better. Unfortunately I lost all your pictures when my computer crashed so I need to get em back. Thanks again and I absolutely cannot WAIT for the game to begin!

First Name: Eric Age: 20 Location(State/Country): Maine/USA Occupation: Wal-Mart Stockman 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? I was voted out for being a team leader or being loyal to my tribe. I guess being strong and not wanting change led up to my being voted out. You'd really have to ask them. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? Well for starters. I'm still gonna play strong. I'm just not going to trust my tribe as far as I can throw them. They can rot come merge. I've learned that trusting people will get you voted out. *notes* Do. Not. Trust. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I liked everything about it. Cept the voted out part. That sucked balls. I dont really have any recommendations for All-Stars. I like the surprise. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. I dont know that I had any significant alliances because I was apparently voted out for being a team leader or something and the so called team didn't want me in. I'm pretty much considering everyone at this point an enemy. 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? I did pretty darn good with the tribal immunities. Especially The Great Quandary. I was voted out while we were doing the live individual immunities. Those I suck but if we'd had a site challenge I would have kicked ass. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. If I have any activities at night it will be on either Saturday or Sunday because at least one of those days I will have to work 12pm to 11pm but that's it. Every other night I'm free. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? I highly doubt it. I'm not lucky enough to have a life for even that long a vacation. Which is a huge and obvious reason why I should be accepted. *wink wink*

1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? Besides my oozing charm and sex appeal, I was voted out because I foresaw a growing threat that I decided to plot to try to halt it, before it even came to power (like Trish, against Rupert). However, my plan backfired. I trusted the wrong people. I wasn't a very good negotiator, not a very persuasive talker. ETA: Mark also pulled off a "Shii Ann," with his unexpected Immunity win. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I have learned in Survivor that you don't have to feel bad about voting off a colleague. You don't really see each other eye to eye and they could careless--it's merely a game. I would play differently by making more drama and try to add a little obnoxious tint to my character. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I DID NOT LIKE ANYTHING... I loved everything!!!!1!!!!!!omg!!!!!LoLL!!!!!WAHAHhahahAHHAHA!1!!!!!! I just felt bad for the host for making extra efforts by making a side game. I also did not like that there were no more twists after the merge but other than that, it IS the best game of my life (corny, I know but true). 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Enemies: Eric (from Minnesota I think) Walter Monique Kevin W Nikki Changhui Tori Alliances: Ethan Chuck Tyler Travis (still can't tell which is which) Angela 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? I did gooooood. I attended all of them. In fact, I think I would've won the best Immunity challenger in that game. I think I won 2 Individual Immunities. That's good, ain't it? *curses under breath about the no-3-IC-win-consecutively-allowed* 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. November-December: nada; January-February: school. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? Nope. Picture: I haven't uploaded any new ones, but will soon.

No worries Ross, the game was two years ago, and I didn't hate you after the game ended, so I definately don't hate you now. I went through this whole "It's a game" phase last year, and now I don't take these games personal in the least bit. I do regret voting you out over Kira in the tiebreaker, you deserved it more than her, but the past is the past. I hoped we had ended up together during this game, I would've loved to work along side of you like we never did in CC. Would've been a good, fun time.

Name: Tilghman Age: 20 Location: Virginia Occupation: Student Gender: Male Sexual Preference: I like boobies.
Remember, make yourself stand out! Tell me why you should be selected!
1) Have you played a reality game online before? If so, please list as many games as you can that you have played in. What is your average placing?
Yes. *ahem*
At OnlineSurvivor.Net:
OS4 - 10th, OS5 - 15th, OS11 - 4th, OS13 - 5th, OS Big Brother - 1st, OS:AS - 7th, OS:AS2 - 7th, OS18 - 3rd

Also I'm currently in Zurvivor 2 and at final 3, but who knows if the final IC will ever be posted.
On other Random Sites:
Big Brother: Temptation - 3rd Survivor: Ghosts of the Past - 16th (out of 24 ) Survivor: Reality Bites - 4th Reality Shack Big Brother - 8th Reality Shack LOST Survivor hybrid - 6th (out of 34)
Non-Survivor/Big Brother games:
Online Survivor Apprentice: 1st RTVO Apprentice: 1st AltReality Apprentice: 1st
(I just had to stick that in there. Teehee.)
2) Why do you want to play this Survivor game? To meet new people, to test your Survivor ability, or another reason?
I want to play this game for three reasons. One, it's an All-Star edition. This means all the players will be spectacular and it will be a fierce game. The two best games I've ever played in were both All-Star games, and they were the best because of the people AND the hosting. Secondly, I want a challenge. I know your games are intense and have interesting challenges that don't just involve "post twenty gazillion times to win immunity!" And from what I've observed of the previous games, the people will be challenging too. Thirdly, I want to meet some new people. I like friends!
3) What's your strategy? How well can you see other people's strategies and work to counter them?
My strategy is always based on a basic, core principle. Become good friends with a few people in the game and inspire their loyalty. Sometimes it manifests itself in different ways, though. Sometimes I'll be a Brian Heidik style player, and while I'll have my core group, I'll still be manipulating everybody else. Sometimes I'll take a backseat in terms of being the leader, and let other people take the blame for actions. But it always comes down to picking the right people that will be loyal, and making sure they can trust me. As for other people's strategies, I can usually pick out a strategy if it's a sucky one. Like people that try to inspire paranoia, or are compulsive liars, or like to latch on to people and coast UTR. If it's a good strategy, they fool me, because, well, I won't recognize it. But if I do, I use it to my advantage.
4) What sets you apart from other candidates?
I have no life, so it will be easy to devote time to this game. Oh, I'm just kidding. Or am I? I always post confessionals and usually always have a ton of posts in my private forums. I'm a very "play-by-the-rules" type of person, so I won't get the host pissed at me. And I'm interesting to watch, I'm not boring. I'm a humorous kinda guy and I like to get reactions and interact with people. I don't just play to win, I play to entertain.
5) How much time do you spend online in an average day or week?
Usually a good 4 to 5 hours on AIM, at least. I might surf while hiding under an away message for another hour or so. But I love college life, because I have my TV and my food and my computer all right next to each other.
6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application.
The only *official* thing I have is Swing Dance Club, which is Tuesday from 8:45-10:00 EST. There's only one more meeting (next week) and then none until January, though, so that's not a big deal. Sometimes other things come up to do, but they are usually spontaneous and if I know there's a challenge coming I won't do them. Oh, and there's the whole trip to Hawaii thing but I told you about that already.
7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when?
As I said, just the trip to Hawaii. I'll be back the 13thish. (Not sure if I'll be able to get online the 13th, don't know when the plane is getting in.) I *might* go visit somebody in the timeframe from December 16th-20th, but it's not definite and I should still have internet access then even if I do go.
8) Summarize your life for me in 75 words or less. =)
I was King of my elementary school. I rocked at everything nerdy. And if you're king of elementary school, what else is there to life? Well to me there's good music, good friends, good TV, good movies, and lots of internet time. Oh and good video games. I'm a dork and I'm proud of it. Woo.

First Name: Valerie Age: 17 Location(State/Country): PA Occupation: Student Let's start with the questions! 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? I was voted out of the game I was in because of Kevin M. and his playing every single side in existance (plus a couple), and just a lack of viable options for him and Josh. It was me or Vince, and it lucked out that I was the one to go. We just lost one too many immunities, which was our downfall. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I'll be more social with all my tribemates, which is what does me well in games. I'll probably also strategize more and form an alliance before the day before my last TC. I haven't learned anything I didn't already know, since I was pretty well experienced coming into Paradise. I was just thrown out of my comfort zone and into a zone where people had their roommates for tribemates...yes, that's a jab at my lovely Jamie. I'm not going to be the tribe doormat. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I wasn't really around long enough to say anything you should change for All-Stars. The two rounds I was there it was perfect in nearly every sense, a complete challenge. The challenges were actually...CHALLENGING! The cast was top-notch and the dynamics were intense. This is not sucking up either... :-p 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. *looks through list* Alliances - Katie, Patrick (broke that one though, oops), Ben, Tom, Richie, "Eve", Jose, Kevin M (I think? Or was it his twin?), Angela, Annette (I think), Stacy (I think), Jon, Rebnik, Jamie Enemies - Monique? I don't really have too many enemies, but we're always on opposite sides. Maybe Brett... 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? Well, I was 2nd off of my tribe and from the game in whole, and we lost both challenges. So we weren't great, to be blunt. I did attend both of the challenges I was in the game for. I would have liked to get to the individual stage so I could answer the third part of your question! 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. Other than my answer to #7, I have no outside, real life activities. I might get a job near the end of the game, since my parents are pressuring me to do so, but I don't have any real issues at this time that would keep me from doing anything. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? As I discussed with you in IM, I am moving shortly after Christmas and may not have internet for 2 weeks or so. Other than that, I do not have any conflicts whatsoever. I may have day trips here and there, but that would not affect much.

Hey, what's up! I understand it's a long shot for a non-jury member like myself, but figured I had to at least try First Name: Ethan Age: 21 Location(State/Country): Maine (ME) Occupation: Student 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? I believe that I was absolutely voted out because of my past reputation in other Survivor games. I hate playing alias games, but being named Ethan totally screwed me over in Wonderland. I AM a much better player than a pre-merge boot, but everybody there knew it and felt threatened and I was the obvious target. Especially with the endless switching, too, so the word spread quickly and my reputation totally preceeded me. I actually went out of my way to play more lowkey than I usually do because I KNEW people knew about my Survivor skillz, but they still decided to target me. I also believe that I totally could have talked my way out of everybody gunning for me that episode and could have had a good chance of making it to the end, but my untimely trip home for the weekend of my boot took away one of my strongest skills, which is persuading people to do what I say. I've been in tons of tough binds before in all of my other games, but I've always managed to make F2 because of my amazing powers of persuasion. Basically, I would love the opportunity to play in your All-Stars game because: 1: My weekend trip home during Wonderland unfortunately coincided with the weekend that everybody wanted to vote me out, and I believe that I could have made it much longer if it hadn't been for that unfortunate coincidence. 2: I was one of the only people in Wonderland with a reputation (or at least a good reputation), which was obviously unfair and also completely killed my chances of winning, and I believe that I will be able to play much better in an All-Stars game where everyone knows that everyone else is good (since they're in All-Stars) and I won't be the only one with that liability. 3: Wonderland is now the blemish on my F2 record, and I would love the opportunity to redeem myself. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? If I am cast in Asteria, I'm absolutely going to come out swinging. I can't STAND any of the people from Wonderland, especially after they all voted me out over my reputation. Honestly, I'm pissed that I was voted out before F2 because I KNOW I can do a hell of a lot better, so I'm going to scratch and claw my way to the top. I actually feel like playing the absolute evil manipulating villain, just because Wonderland people make me so sick. But maybe that's just because I just read one of Chuck's posts. As for what I've learned... well, I haven't played in any online Survivor games since Wonderland, and Guatemala hasn't been particularly enlightening. I guess the big thing I learned from Wonderland was that even the Man of Survivor Steel Ethan can be taken down. I was a little too big for my britches in Wonderland, so this time I won't be as nonchalant about how I play the game. I'm seriously out for blood. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? Hmmmmmmmmm. Honestly, I loved Wonderland. Probably the best game I've played in. I absolutely hated the 5,000 switches, but just because it totally fucked with the normal strategy that I've gotten used to. But that was good cause it taught me I need to get better at adapting, and it was a fair twist, so I can't really complain. As for the challenges, I personally hate any challenge that requires you or your tribe to be online for any extended period of time, i.e. the chain breaking challenge, hands-on-the-idol-style challenges, etc. My own theory about making a good challenge is that it needs to take longer for the host to put together than for the players to play it, because otherwise it just feels like you're wasting our time. I definitely liked your challenges overall, but I've never been a fan for anything that requires the players to be online for more than 2 hours, so that would be one suggestion I might make. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Carlsbad: None (I know Kevin, but not that well) Machu: None (Know Ben, but not that well) Paradise: None Wonderland: CHUCK - I hate him. And I know you're going to cast him. Put me in so I can take his punk ass out. TORI - Obviously had a significant alliance with her, but haven't talked to her once since the game. And obviously I know everybody else from that game, but you know that 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? Hookah kicked ass, didn't we? And I won every single switching challenge (Tori didn't do jack). And I only went to 1 Individual Immunity challenge and lost, which sucks cause... you know 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. I watch Lost at 8pmCST Wednesday. And Survivor on Thursday, obviously. I actually don't think there's much else, I'm usually pretty flexible. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? Dear God, I hope not. I'm never vacationing in the middle of a Survivor game ever again. My same old picture is attached, but I can send you a new one if you want. Thanks for your time, Sam!

All-Stars Application! First Name: Josh Age: 18 Location(State/Country): Pennsylvania Occupation: College Student 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? Well basically, I wasn't in the majority sadly. Jose, Kevin M, and I were a trio but with no one on our side. I suppose I was just to big of a threat and Angie definitely didn't trust me but I didn't trust here either. Kevin and I had the game figured out and what alliances would hold true, we just couldn't do anything about it, thusly, I was voted out. SAD DAY IN PARADISE that was! 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I think I relied on Kevin M. a little too much. I need to learn how to figure things out for myself and make my own decisions. I'm going to let people approach me in the beginning, but as the game progresses, I hope to make a few twists of my own. Playing safe is the easy way out in the beginning, but I'm definitely not going to keep it that way through the entire game. No one really got to see the REAL JOSH in Paradise, so I hope that this will help me in this season. I truly believe I can make this interesting. And I'll be damned if I can't get to the top 10 again. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I actually loved Paradise. It was my first online surivor game and happens to be the only one I've played in thus far. I had such a blast. I don't think I would really change anything. The challenges were awesome. I did HATE the tribal switch, BUT it's part of the game. LOL. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. I haven't played any other games so there isn't any. 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? I attended every challenge and I thought I helped my tribe immensely. I never won any individual immunities, but I only got to do 2 of them. I did come in second place in the first individual immunity challenge though. DAMN ANGIE! 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. I am not sure if you have ever heard of THON, but I am on the committee here for that at Penn State. We have meetings every 2 weeks on Wednesdays, but there shouldn't be anything else that would stop me from making the challenges. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? NOOO I am stuck here in the ever so amazing dorms of Penn State. blah. Note To Sam: So now I'm a college boy. LOL! I've learned a lot about life in general already and I am so ready to do this game. I may not have seemed to be an impressive player in Paradise, but I never got my chance to really show through. I wasn't sure how to do my Confessionals either, but now I know what to include and I'll have you know I can come up with some AMAZING confessionals for you. Josh is ready to be back in action and kick some major ass.

No worries Ross, the game was two years ago, and I didn't hate you after the game ended, so I definately don't hate you now. I went through this whole "It's a game" phase last year, and now I don't take these games personal in the least bit. I do regret voting you out over Kira in the tiebreaker, you deserved it more than her, but the past is the past. I hoped we had ended up together during this game, I would've loved to work along side of you like we never did in CC. Would've been a good, fun time. But if you are in a tribe with me... I'd probably die the first few years becuase you are so... er... adorable and I am not quite like that. And yeah... everybody said they regretted sending Kira to F2...so yeah... there.

Name: Laurel Age: 21 Location: Missouri Occupation: Student Remember, make yourself stand out! Tell me why you should be selected! 1) Have you played a reality game online before? Yes If so, please list as many games as you can that you have played in. What is your average placing? Zurvivor - Winner - p079.ezboard.com/bzurvivorSurvivor Cookie Isle - Winner - p104.ezboard.com/bsurvivorcookieisleBig Brother Betrayal - Winner - p097.ezboard.com/bbigbrotherbetrayal2005 (Alias game. I was Keitha, and also the mole.) Survivor Destination 5: Geotail - 2nd - p097.ezboard.com/bsurvivordestionation5geotailSurvivor Islands 4: Mana - 4th - p102.ezboard.com/bsurvivormanaSissy Survivor All-Stars - 7th - p201.ezboard.com/bsissysurvivorallstars2005Sissy Survivor 4 - 10th - the board is gone - My first Survivor game In progress (kind of...): Survivor Marsupial - At F3 - survmarsupial1.proboards44.com/Sooooo, my avereage placing would be around 3rd or 4th place. 2) Why do you want to play this Survivor game? To meet new people, to test your Survivor ability, or another reason? I have heard so many great things about this series! It sounds like a lot of fun! But in general, I enjoy playing games for the entire experience. I've met some amazing people through playing ORGs. The social aspect is as much a part of it as anything. I am also extremely competitive, and I like the challenge that the games present to me. Also, I've really learned a lot about my self through these games. In a way, they've given me a lot of confidence. I enjoy that part, too, lol. 3) What's your strategy? My strategy tends to be to make myself valuable to the other players. I go all out on challenges, so in the beginning of the game, my tribes tend to like having me around. I try to be extremely social so that people will want me around just because they enjoy having me around. Occasionally I'll try to save someone in case he or she might feel like returning the favor some time. Sometimes I'll try to work myself as a swing vote if I see my alliance(s) falling apart. I also like to have one unlikely ally who no one else will suspect. How well can you see other people's strategies and work to counter them? I think I'm better at seeing other people's strategies than I am at countering them. A lot of the time it depends on if I can get other people to see the strategies that I'm trying to counter. There are times, however, when I will have to blindly trust someone. Sometimes it works out great, but other times, it fails miserably. Even though it's not absolute, I still like to have one or two people who I give my trust completely, and who can do the same for me. So, in those instances, I am less likely to see when someone's trying to screw me over, because I'm trying to trust the person instead of being overly paranoid. 4) What sets you apart from other candidates? Well, for starters, I'm a newb to the series, lol! I think I'm pretty dedicated when I play a game. I feel that when one signs up for a game, to be fair to the host(s) and other players, one should give his or her all. I don't think that every player tends to have that amount of dedication. Also, as someone who's only been playing for about a year, I don't know quite as many people as seasoned vets might, and I think that adds an amount of freshness to games. 5) How much time do you spend online in an average day or week? I spend at least a few hours online every day, and unless I'm out with friends, I tend to definitely be on between 9:00 or 10:00PM CST to about 12:00 or 1:00AM CST. I also hop on to check things quickly in the morning, hop on around classes, and I'm on a lot during the evenings as well. I guess I'm on maybe... 6 hours a day on average, counting when I'm working on things for school. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. I have a sorority meeting every Wednesday night at 8:00 CST, and I tend not to get home until around 10:00. I also have Psychology Club events that go on at night, but they aren't all scheduled yet. I have a night class on Tuesdays right now, which gets me home at about 8:00CST, and next semester I will probably have a night class on Monday. Any time that I have something coming up, I'll be sure to inform you, though. As long as I can plan for it, and it doesn't hit a night where I have to be somewhere, I should have no problem making live challenges. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? I don't know of any vacations yet, but if I do go somewhere, it will be between Dec 17th and January 10th. It's possible I might go on a short trip in that time, but I really don't know if I am right now. 8) Summarize your life for me in 75 words or less. =) I was born. I went through a lot of pain, but found copious amounts of happiness that easily outweighed it. I made friends, and occasionally I made enemies. I fell in love, out of love, and back in love again. I failed. I succeeded. I sang. I danced. I learned, and even forgot. I cried. I laughed. I laughed and cried at the same time. I joked. I cared. I lived.

First Name: Mike Age: 22 Location(State/Country): Ontario, Canada Let’s start with the questions! 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? Considering that I never GOT voted out, you mean why didn't I win, I guess? Har har. The reason that I didn't win was likely because I just had too many members of my final alliance mad at me for voting them out, and I don't think I came across as sincere enough. Or did one or more of the jurors flip a coin? I can't remember, but if so, then that was the reason I lost. Regardless, it was damn close, and I like to think that win or not, I was the best and strongest player there. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I'll play the game fairly similar to the way I have usually played online games. Be a power player, try to get in with several allies, but don't be the absolute leader, and be willing to switch sides should the opportunity present itself. It has served me well before, but I do think I need to tweak my formula a bit, since it hasn't served me well enough to actually win. First, I'd pay more attention to people other than the select few I'm closest with. Not only are they potential Jury members, they're also potential future allies. That's what killed my in the Egypt EZboard game I played in after Andes. When I got backstabbed by my main ally, I didn't have enough people to turn to to save me from being voted out. Also, be very careful choosing your allies. I'm not going to be online 24 hours a day, I have work and school. I will be on more than enough to play the game very well and be an active participant, and more than enough to win. But if there are those type of people that make this game their lives, they are the ones you want to avoid. They're almost always ridiculously paranoid, and they're often just as obsessed with attempting to be the evil villian of the series, so they'll turn on you in a heartbeat. When I turn on people, I at least do so with logic, reason, and at least somewhat of a conscience. And always be on guard. I'm quite certain there will be twists in this game, and if you end up switching around, you have to be someone that the people you end up with will want to join forces with, not someone they'll vote out right away without giving a chance. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? Your Andes game was an excellent game for a first time, and I've no doubt you've improved tenfold since then. Really, the main problem with the game was the simple fact that one tribe got destroyed, which ruined the tension for some time, but that probably won't be a problem in an All-Stars game. I don't think I really need to worry about the challenges being either sadly easy and boring or ridiculously long and complicated, so my only advice would be for you to keep the game interesting (your searching around for other tribes looks to be a good start) and make sure you mix up the tribes well. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Lance (LexistheGenius) from Andes I have played with and allied with in later games. I have not really played with any of the other characters from Andes that were in my tribe or alliance (except Lexie [FroggyGirl], but I think she's long gone). Depending on who if anyone else from the older games at GameFAQs is playing, it's likely that I have played with them in the past. I wouldn't say they'd automatically be a significant ally or enemy if we were both in the game, but I'd certainly be willing to use it as an advantage if possible. Then again, this is All-Stars, and we're all technically supposed to know each other. If two players from one season can have a pre-existing bond, then I don't see a problem with myself and another GameFAQer. As for enemies, I can't imagine anyone from GameFAQs holding a grudge. 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? We won nearly all the tribal immunities except for one, and I think that I was the best in the individual immunities too, winning three of them, but don't quote me on that number. Anyways, I was there for pretty much all of them, and was one of the top contributors to challenges, general tribe postings, and confessionals. I'd certainly be the same here, although the competition will likely be more fierce. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. I work two nights a week until around 9-9:30 PM CST and have one night class Tuesdays until 8:30 CST. I'll know which nights well in advance, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to play. Also, that's only until Christmas, I don't have any night classes next semester (yet), and the work hours will be back to around 8:30 CST starting in January. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? Nope. You will also need to send a picture to use (you know what’s it’s for) along with your application. The larger and clearer and just of you (i.e. no friends in the photo) the better. Unfortunately I lost all your pictures when my computer crashed so I need to get em back. I've got a couple pictures and will get one out to you before Thanksgiving. In any case, I am hoping to come back for something like this. It sounds like a lot of fun, I haven't played in a while and am looking forward to dusting off the tribal buff, and it will do your game good to have some unknown faces from your old games around. I hope you pick me, so hopefully you'll reply with good news when you've chosen your finalists. Mike / Dream and Nightmare

First Name: Stacy Age: 20 Location(State/Country): Tennessee Occupation: Student 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? My naivety. I put too much trust into someone, when you really can't trust anyone in this game, no matter how good of a friend they are. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I will play the game similarly in the fact that I will continue to be my happy-go-lucky self and play the nice girl to everyone. However, my strategic game will hopefully be quite different. I don't want to have to depend on anyone else, but rather form alliances where I'm in charge. I have definitely learned that power is scary to other people, and if you have it, it's quite easy to pressure people into doing what you want them to. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I liked Paradise very, very much. I've played in a few other games since then and none of them had the oomph that it did. I think the challenges were probably the best part of it - they were obviously well planned and executed. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Alliance with Tom in Marsupial. We had a final four, but it fell apart. I don't think he likes me much. Richie in Zurvivor. The bum screwed me over. 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? I think I did pretty good in the immunity challenges in Paradise, and if I'm not mistaken, I attended all of them. I can think of once that I won individual immunity. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. I guess the only set in stone things are the shows that I watch (and there are many. xD). Sunday - 8:00-9:00, Monday - 8:00-9:00, Tuesday - 8:00-10:00, Wednesday 9:00, Thursday - 8:00. Of course, if need be, I can tape the things. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? Nope.

First Name: José Age: 16 Location(State/Country): Massachusetts Occupation: Student/part time barista 1) I was voted out of Survivor: Paradise because my alliance with two other members of the tribe was discovered by the dominating alliance of Kew/Angie/Tek/Stacie/Walter. They wanted to make sure that they were the final five, so they got rid of me and the others. 2) I will definitely be more cautious. In Paradise, I was more in the background, letting everyone fight it out themselves as it cruise to the end. This time I have learned my lesson that it will do me no good. I have learned that I need to be more active and productive in my tribe. Talking more to everyone and not just the people I like is also a good idea. 3) I liked the fact that we had the immunity challenges against a different tribe every episode. That really gave us a lot of information on who is active and who isn't. I also loved the swap in which we got to choose who would stay and who would leave, it really bought out the alliances in people. Also, everyone in that season was an awesome character. We all had something different to bring to the table. The only bad thing was beyond the hosts' control, which was the dominating alliance from one original tribe at the end. 4) From my season of Paradise, I had alliances with Tim, Josh, Kevin M., Tek, and Stacy. I did not have a significant enemy, but two people who really hated me during that game were Lauren and Jamie. 5) When we were in our first original tribes, my tribe only lost immunity one time. Then, in the swapped tribes, we lost twice. I did not win any individual immunity challenges, but I attended 95% of them. 6) The only thing that would interfere with it is work. I usually work on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. But sometimes they call me in to fill in for someone, not a lot though. Also, I will be taking driving hours to get my license and all that fun stuff. The driving hours I think are Monday-Wednesday but it's over before 7 PM CST so I should make it on time. 7) Yes, I am going on a trip to Europe in February from he 17th-28th. I'll send a picture now, but I'm going to upload more later tonight when I get my camera back, and I'll send you the new one, because I think it's better.

Name: Doug Age: 27 Location: New Jersey, United States Occupation:Pharmacist
1) I came in 5th place of the game I played in. I was voted out because I didn't have an alliance to take me any further. hee hee. When our 3 tribes came together, I was put in an awkward position of being the swing vote and unfortuneately I made the wrong decision. I chose to trust Ross, who was playing me. Yes, I got delight from his demise. I'm still very proud of the fact that I was able to be the last surviving member of my original tribe and that I was able to last long after my alliance was all eliminated.
2) I will play the game differently than I did the first time. I tried to play as honest as possible. Now I realize that that is impossible in this game. I realize that these people aren't my real life "friends" and if everyone else is willing to lie, then why shouldn't I? I will not allow myself to be a doormat to be stepped on..especially in this all-star game which will be so competitive.
3)Not to kiss your butt, but there's honestly nothing I didn't like about the first game. However, reading these boards, I see that Kira was actually Lisa playing under an alias. I really hate the idea of alias's..I think it takes lying and decieving to a whole new level that has no place in this game. I really hope that everyone in this game is who they say they are.
4) I have not played any other reality games with any of these people except Brett.. I did have Brett on my friends list on LJ, but then I defriended him (I never post anymore anyway) and I don't think he was too happy about that anyway. The reason I defriended him was because we did play another game together and he pretended to be an ally but was really talking a lot of trash about me. That was the point when I realized that these are just games and aren't real "friends"
5) I don't remember exactly if or how many immunity challenges I won, but I do know that I was at every single one and I gave my 100% in Carlsbad Caverns
6) The only real life activity I do at night is watch TV and that's what Tivo is for. I do wake up pretty early to go to work, so the earlier the challenges are, the better for me.
7)I don't have any vacation or work related trips planned during that time.

First Name: Garrey Age: 17 Location(State/Country): Maryland, United States Occupation: Student 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? To this day, I have no clue. Pretty much, I guess I was too naive. I made a friend who I thought I could, and then I find out that he wasn't my friend at all...that, truthfully, he hated me! I learned my lesson, and I won't make the same mistake. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? A lot has changed since then, besides my increasingly good looks. My gameplay this time around will be sooo much different. No longer will I be naive and follow behind someone like a lich, I will be a LEADER! I won't trust ANYONE this time, and my personality will shine through this time, unlike the last time, when I was viewed as being inactive. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I hated my season with a PASSION! My tribe was boring and uptight. Anyone with any personality (me) was immediately kicked out. I want to be in a tribe with some FUN people, this time. A guy like me needs some entertainment. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. lol. Wow... I don't know any of those people. 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? Well, I was kicked out way before merge, so I didn't win any individual immunities. However, my tribe was on a slight winning streak, early on. Unfortunately, the one time my tribe lost a challenge, I was kicked out. But it wasn't my fault. They just sucked. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. Well, besides my birthday(February 15th) and Christmas, I'll probably be available for all the challenges. Unless, of course, something happens and Verizon spazzes out again...but let's hope that won't happen. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? Nope. Thanks again and I absolutely cannot WAIT for the game to begin! I can't wait either, Sam.

First Name: Chuck Age: 20 Location(State/Country): Wisconsin, USA Occupation: college student 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? I was never voted out of the game. However I didn't win in the F2 due to a very bitter group of jurors who couldn't accept the fact that I was the best player in the game. In my opinion I was the best player in the game, especially since I really had no solid alliance in the game, to be honest I was probably the best player. And I'm not making it up I was, I know some would argue Angela was but she really wasn't, if she was the best player she would have had me booted in the F3. The reason I lost in the F2 vote was because the jurors felt that I had screwed them all over and that my personality was apparently less then bearable? I thought I was quite pleasant. I apparently complained too much and my paranoia talk annoyed everyone? I also told explicit lies that apparently were uncalled for? They as in the jury seriously all needed counseling after that game. I thought I was pretty pleasant. I was no were near as obnoxious as I can be in some games. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? Obviously I have my own agenda for playing this game, there are quite a few people I have it out for mainly people in my season. I really can't say how I will play to be honest because I don't know who I am up against and all I know is I'm basically wanting to play to get revenge against a few people. I'm going to up the drama this season, I was lacking in that in Wonderland. This time I'm not holding back and I have no reason to. I'm already disliked by my seasons cast so nothing I do will change that so if I happen to be on a tribe with them specifically Mark I'm going ruin his chances. Basically I'm going to play the same as I did last time, people obviously don't figure out that I am very good at working my way into alliances and by the time f10 comes I'm set, in addition to that I plan to show them what a true villian is capable of. I did not intend to be a villian in your game I was turned into one however this time I'll play the villian and I will go out of my way to upset people and cause drama. I have nothing to prove to these people. Cast me for entertainment. And I know they are all ready plots being formed to get me out. Maybe its all in my head but I am positive that people have me marked to be the first boot. Basically I'm going all out and I will do whatever I have to, to get ahead. Everyone is expendable. I'm here for one purpose to cause drama. I am going to turn this game upside down, it is going to be very exciting if the ideas I have in my head play out the way I want them to. I plan to make a situation that wouldn’t be dramatic, dramatic. I have so many tricks up my sleeve. I can't wait to test them out. If they thought I was bad in Wonderland wait till they see what I have in store, because what little plans I have thought of are nothing compared to anything I did in wonderland. They'll think I was nice in Wonderland. Also I am going to play myself as a vote if possible, that people can use, basically its a rehash of wonderland. Pity Chuck and use his vote. I'm going to play the victim to a tee. If people are stupid which I am hoping they will be, I'm sure most haven't learned anything from their game experiences then they will see me as a vote they can use. I'll let them think that, as I weasel my way into alliances and then I'm going do what I did in Wonderland spread like cancer and taint everyone’s view. The longer I stay in a game the harder it is to get me out because I get in with everyone and I don't every make it obvious as to where I stand but I don't make it obvious that I am not with people I just give them the impression that I would definitely team up with them. I'm also planning to team up with really anyone. I'm all for teaming up with the winners but if there is a plan to oust winners I'll be on the bandwagon booting the winners. If my tribe is full of bible thumpers believe me I'm going to play up being Catholic, anything at this point. Basically I'm going be adaptable. I'll vote with anyone because I know I will be target. Which I don't think is fair but whatever. Last time in your game I didn't play with the casts emotions, I didn't get involved in telling them about myself and dragging info out of them. However this time I'm going to do that. I'll observe them and make them think I really like them. I'll ask how they are, how their family is, pets, anything. I'm sucking up to the people and going to play to with their emotions. I'll relate myself to them and make them think we connect on some deep level, which will not be the case. What have I learned about Survivor since then? What I have come to realize is its better to vote out the non threatening people as opposed to the power players of the game, if you take the power players pawns away they no longer have any power. Plus it sucks when useless people get further. I've known that for a while. I think I know to much about Survivor. Final 4 was all worthy people, maybe not Tyler. He didn't do anything. I also have learned that people are typecast in these games. I don't see why everyone hates me. I don't see what I did wrong, and I don't see where all the hate comes from. I'm sick of the villian/hated typecast I got from this game, and its stuck with me in this series. I promise to do even better more detailed confessionals. I'm going make mine more entertaining and more descriptive and hopefully I stick around long enough to get enough good info in there. I plan to relaly make this game dramatic. Even if its all faked. I'm going to instigate stuff, basically do anything and everything that I can to cause chaos. Situations that have no drama will be become dramatic. I'm all for showing what a true online reality game villian is capable of. I wasn't planning on applying to be honest because I was afraid that I would be the first boot which could be the case but you know what that attitude I can't have. I'm coming into this with a plan and I am going to work it. I'm going to plow through any fuckers that get in my way. People come after me I will come after them harder. I'm here to take back the rightful title that I was robbed of. I got through some nasty situations in wonderland and I can do it in this game. I just have to work the people, so if its not too late and theirs room pick me, you won't be dissapointed! To sum up my strategy its basically this I’ll do anything basically to stick around. I don’t trust anyone and everyone is expendable. I’m a rogue agent in this game so I might help you one round but the next I may vote against you. Fuck with me, I'll fuck you over harder. I don't care what the cast thinks of me to be honest because as far as I'm concerned I'm going to vote them out one by one, if they don't like me they better work it to get rid of me. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I hated the cast. I do not talk to the majority of them. Occasionally Tyler or Monique IM me but the rest I have blocked. Aside from the cast I disliked all the live challenges, I'd prefer some 24 hr ones. It makes it easier to integrate yourself in the tribe. If you can't make the live challenge your basically fucked. The challenges in my opinion were way to hard at least for me but when it comes to challenges I don't like having to depend on them. I'd like to see more confessional questions from you for the cast. I really liked your hosting style, sometimes I thought the game was a bit slow so maybe a faster pace. Just making some observations. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Ben from Machu Pichu has it out for me if we are on a tribe together one of us will be the first to go and more then likely it'll be him. On a scale of 1-10 of being an ENEMY he is a 10! The Wonderland cast is all sworn enemies of mine. All of them are 10's. Mark especially better be watching his back if he gets cast and I'm there. My goal is to make sure he doesn't go far, as in far not past his first Tribal Council. He fucked my chances of winning by turning the jurors against me now it is my time to crumble his chances once again! Ethan is another one I will clash with obviously. Lynne I think if a returnee may have it out for me because I screwed her over big time. But she was not for the team at the time and I was for the team so she had to go. Valerie from Paradise, she is a nasty little midget like bitch that voted out my good allies in the game but I got her ousted in the end. I doubt she would be cast but I definitely dislike her and would go after her. I think she is fake and it sickens me how people think she is so nice. She'd be on my hit list of who to take out. Put her on my tribe and I will make her cry. My nickname for her is Sideshow Val! 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? I sucked at the challenges. I attended most of them when I could. I never won any IIC. I threw a lot of the challenges because I never relied on Immunity. I don't care for the challenges to be honest, yours are just way to hard for me. I'm sure you were frustrated with me lack of participation in challenges, at least compared to the others who salved away for hours on them. When it comes to the challenges I'm not changing. I'll pretend that I am doing stuff but I probably am not doing it. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. My schedule is better not then last time, except starting January 20th area Monday will not work for me unless after 9pm central time. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? Not that I am aware of, can't really with school year round. So I should be around majority of the time. img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/gnarl24/rooster.jpgimg.photobucket.com/albums/v347/gnarl24/Picture005.jpgNot sure if thats how i do pics or not its been awhile. I might send you a different picture. My computer crashed and I'm not too fond of what I have on here but the minutes are ticking away and I gotta send this to make deadline. If problems e-mail me, or pm me, or IM me.

First Name: Eric Age: Hmm..I guess I'll use my real age cuz well..I need to catch up socially with these people and considering I probaly can't do conference calls pretending to be 18 or however old I'm supposed to be..ahh, I guess I'll just use my real one. n since I'm 15 in like a month, I'm 15 Location(State/Country): Michigan, USA Occupation: Student Hey hey former player! Thank you for your interest in playing the All-Stars game of my series! If you are coming back for a second game, something must have gone a little right, and I’m glad that you are interested in playing again. What follows is just a small survey to get some official information from you and have all the stuff I need on file. Take a few minutes to fill it out and send it to sam.burkett@gmail.com (there’s a period after sam in there) let’s say before Thanksgiving. I’d also like to talk to everyone on AIM (SorintheSeeker) so if I see you online say hi to catch up on things. =) The message board is open as of now and more things will be added as November continues. I’m looking to start the game after Thanksgiving with a two week break for the Winter Holidays. Let’s start with the questions! 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? Never voted out. I didn't win because Richie's an idiot and voted for Nikki > . But no um really..I think both of the MP final 2 had a good chance and well idk..I came close. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? Well, this is All-Stars. Sort of of a "go big or don't go at all" type of thing. In my old game, I played smart, but I was sort of reserved. This time around, I don't want to get to the final 2 and have to defend the fact that I truly was a powerful player. So first, I definitely want to be more of a leader and less of a follower. Not only will it help me in the final 2, but this is frickin All-Stars. MP was fun and all and I just wanted to stay around, but if I'm picked for this game I'd rather get 5th place and know I had a huge impact on the game than get 2nd place and followed in the shadows of people. Since MP, I haven't really played many games other than one I was finishing, and I won that game with a vote of 6-1 in the end . I think by me not playing games as much as the other people applying will actually help me, though. All these other people are sort of, dare I say, "washed-out"? I'm sure many of them have all played a million games with each other, know each others strategies, etc, so it's not going to be easy for them to be trusted if they have a past bad experience. But me? I haven't played a game with any of these people other than the MP's, so I think I would bring some nice variety to the game as far as not knowing the Andes, CC's, Paradisers, and Wonderlanders, and yeah.. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I was basically obsessed with MP, so I can't say many bad things about it. After playing it, I sort of lost interest to apply to any other games since I had pretty high expectations, heh. Oh, one thing I remember disliking was that final 3 immunity challenge on New Year's Eve. Likes? I like the fact that challenges aren't on Friday/Saturday nights, cause I think hosts that do that are just evil. I love the original twists (freakin love the combined TC's), the pictures (I don't think I would even really apply to a game that doesn't require you to send in a picture. Maybe that makes me sound vain, but I like to know who I'm talking to), the professionalism (hosts who can't spell annoy the crap out of me), and the tribal councils! Recommendations...hmm...maybe seperating the automatic alliances, because if I'm on a tribe of 5 best friends, that's not too cool for me since I haven't really kept in touch with them as much. But you prob. already have something like that in mind... 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Alliances? None really. I've kept in somewhat touch with Richie and Brett (as in like talking once every 2 months when I feel like going on that sn to see what people are up to), and I know Minor, Joey, and Walter from another site. However, I've never once talked to Walter outside the site, haven't talked to Joey in probaly a year, and haven't talked to Minor outside the site in probaly 8 months or so. I do like her on the site, but as far as playing the game, I don't really know how she even plays games so it wouldn't be an automatic alliance or anything. 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? I think I attended all of them, did good, and won 2 individuals from what I remember (I thought there was another..but can't thing of them). One was the morality test, the other was the final 4 immunity challenge where it was an elimination round type thing. First round was finding the words that needed to be entered in order to get pictures on google, second was some type of hard english "dog is to cat as horse is to ____" type thing that I won, and last was a "identify the survivor" type thing. So yeah, 2 challenges, but I had like an immunity spree of 5 in the other game I was playing at that time that I won in the end. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. Nothing really. I go out Fridays and Saturdays, so that shouldn't be a problem. I have school 7- 3:30 so that shouldn't be a problem. So yeah, nothing. I might play basketball this year, but that's after school until like 4:30-5:00, so again, no problem. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? Nope. Remember that you need AIM to play. In order to talk to your tribemates, you should at least turn on AIM (maybe with an away message) for around at least an hour everyday so you can contact them. mhmm.. You will also need to send a picture to use (you know what’s it’s for) along with your application. The larger and clearer and just of you (i.e. no friends in the photo) the better. Unfortunately I lost all your pictures when my computer crashed so I need to get em back. heres a newer one.. img42.imageshack.us/img42/1618/images0mj.jpgIf you need more, go to my myspace...www.myspace.com/ericboozer All of those pics are pretty old though, so I'll try to take some tonight and then E-mail them to you. Thanks again and I absolutely cannot WAIT for the game to begin! me too :-D

First Name: Mike Age: 22 Location(State/Country): Ontario, Canada Occupation: Retail Co-Ordinator / Part-Time Student Let’s start with the questions! 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? Considering that I never GOT voted out, you mean why didn't I win, I guess? Har har. The reason that I didn't win was likely because I just had too many members of my final alliance mad at me for voting them out, and I don't think I came across as sincere enough. Or did one or more of the jurors flip a coin? I can't remember, but if so, then that was the reason I lost. Regardless, it was damn close, and I like to think that win or not, I was the best and strongest player there. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I'll play the game fairly similar to the way I have usually played online games. Be a power player, try to get in with several allies, but don't be the absolute leader, and be willing to switch sides should the opportunity present itself. It has served me well before, but I do think I need to tweak my formula a bit, since it hasn't served me well enough to actually win. First, I'd pay more attention to people other than the select few I'm closest with. Not only are they potential Jury members, they're also potential future allies. That's what killed my in the Egypt EZboard game I played in after Andes. When I got backstabbed by my main ally, I didn't have enough people to turn to to save me from being voted out. Also, be very careful choosing your allies. I'm not going to be online 24 hours a day, I have work and school. I will be on more than enough to play the game very well and be an active participant, and more than enough to win. But if there are those type of people that make this game their lives, they are the ones you want to avoid. They're almost always ridiculously paranoid, and they're often just as obsessed with attempting to be the evil villian of the series, so they'll turn on you in a heartbeat. When I turn on people, I at least do so with logic, reason, and at least somewhat of a conscience. And always be on guard. I'm quite certain there will be twists in this game, and if you end up switching around, you have to be someone that the people you end up with will want to join forces with, not someone they'll vote out right away without giving a chance. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? Your Andes game was an excellent game for a first time, and I've no doubt you've improved tenfold since then. Really, the main problem with the game was the simple fact that one tribe got destroyed, which ruined the tension for some time, but that probably won't be a problem in an All-Stars game. I don't think I really need to worry about the challenges being either sadly easy and boring or ridiculously long and complicated, so my only advice would be for you to keep the game interesting (your searching around for other tribes looks to be a good start) and make sure you mix up the tribes well. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Lance (LexistheGenius) from Andes I have played with and allied with in later games. I have not really played with any of the other characters from Andes that were in my tribe or alliance (except Lexie [FroggyGirl], but I think she's long gone). Depending on who if anyone else from the older games at GameFAQs is playing, it's likely that I have played with them in the past. I wouldn't say they'd automatically be a significant ally or enemy if we were both in the game, but I'd certainly be willing to use it as an advantage if possible. Then again, this is All-Stars, and we're all technically supposed to know each other. If two players from one season can have a pre-existing bond, then I don't see a problem with myself and another GameFAQer. As for enemies, I can't imagine anyone from GameFAQs holding a grudge. 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? We won nearly all the tribal immunities except for one, and I think that I was the best in the individual immunities too, winning three of them, but don't quote me on that number. Anyways, I was there for pretty much all of them, and was one of the top contributors to challenges, general tribe postings, and confessionals. I'd certainly be the same here, although the competition will likely be more fierce. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. I work two nights a week until around 9-9:30 PM CST and have one night class Tuesdays until 8:30 CST. I'll know which nights well in advance, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to play. Also, that's only until Christmas, I don't have any night classes next semester (yet), and the work hours will be back to around 8:30 CST starting in January. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? Nope. You will also need to send a picture to use (you know what’s it’s for) along with your application. The larger and clearer and just of you (i.e. no friends in the photo) the better. Unfortunately I lost all your pictures when my computer crashed so I need to get em back. I've got a couple pictures and will get one out to you before Thanksgiving. In any case, I am hoping to come back for something like this. It sounds like a lot of fun, I haven't played in a while and am looking forward to dusting off the tribal buff, and it will do your game good to have some unknown faces from your old games around. I hope you pick me, so hopefully you'll reply with good news when you've chosen your finalists. Mike / Dream and Nightmare

First Name: Annette Age: 28 Location(State/Country): MI Occupation: Stay-at-Home Mom 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? -Well, I focused on my main alliance and didn't really discuss other possibilities with people. I thought that it was a GOOD thing, just me being loyal but instead it made it look like I didn't care to people. Others formed their own alliances and by the time I tried to get involved, it was too late. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? -While I will pick someone to be loyal to, I won't just close it off to anyone else. I'm going to get involved in a lot of different things - some I'll honor, some I won't... but at least it won't look like I'm "flying under the radar"... God damn, how I hate that phrase! 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? -I honest to God can't think of a single thing... I had an amazing time and enjoyed every single minute. If this next game is anything like Wonderland, we're all in for a pleasant treat. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Alliances: Patrick (I think) Kevin Mark (of course) Joel Monique Enemies: Chuck (a boot upside his head) 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? -I think I did OK? lol - I can't honestly remember now. You'd be surprised at how badly my memory is. I try to attend all immunities that I can and do my best to win. I don't think I won any individuals, but contributed to a few tribal immunities. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. -Nothing stands out - I have Tivo and can easily tape & watch shows later. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? -Not a one! That would require extra money, of which I have very little. Re: pictures - I don't have a single one of just me, but I have a fairly new one of myself and my daughter... pictures of just me are rare! Let me know if that's OK and I can send it along. Annette

First Name: José Age: 16 Location(State/Country): Boston, Massachusetts Occupation: Student/part time barista 1) I was voted out of Survivor: Paradise because my alliance with two other members of the tribe was discovered by the dominating alliance of Kew/Angie/Tek/Stacie/Walter. They wanted to make sure that they were the final five, so they got rid of me and the others. 2) I will definitely be more cautious. In Paradise, I was more in the background, letting everyone fight it out themselves as it cruise to the end. This time I have learned my lesson that it will do me no good. I have learned that I need to be more active and productive in my tribe. Talking more to everyone and not just the people I like is also a good idea. 3) I liked the fact that we had the immunity challenges against a different tribe every episode. That really gave us a lot of information on who is active and who isn't. I also loved the swap in which we got to choose who would stay and who would leave, it really bought out the alliances in people. Also, everyone in that season was an awesome character. We all had something different to bring to the table. The only bad thing was beyond the hosts' control, which was the dominating alliance from one original tribe at the end. 4) From my season of Paradise, I had alliances with Tim, Josh, Kevin M., Tek, and Stacy. I did not have a significant enemy, but two people who really hated me during that game were Lauren and Jamie. 5) When we were in our first original tribes, my tribe only lost immunity one time. Then, in the swapped tribes, we lost twice. I did not win any individual immunity challenges, but I attended 95% of them. 6) The only thing that would interfere with it is work. I usually work on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. But sometimes they call me in to fill in for someone, not a lot though. Also, I will be taking driving hours to get my license and all that fun stuff. The driving hours I think are Monday-Wednesday but it's over before 7 PM CST so I should make it on time. 7) Yes, I am going on a trip to Europe in February from he 17th-28th. I'll send a picture now, but I'm going to upload more later tonight when I get my camera back, and I'll send you the new one, because I think it's better.

First Name: Lew Age: 35 Location(State/Country): NY Occupation: Driver Let’s start with the questions! 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? Not making an alliance early(!) enough. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I hope to be given a chance to play the game, lol. I've learned a lot more about the dynamics of the game, player v player, team v team, etc 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer this question, for somewhat obvious reasons. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players, which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Out of this list I beleive I've only played with Tom and Jamie. Tom was on the other tribe so I never got to talk to him. Jaime and I talked a lot and I thought we had an alliance until I was taken out of the game by her true alliance. 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? Again, don't rub it in . As for my other Survivor games, I attended 90%+ of the ICs and managed to win a couple of them. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. Monday's are rough on a regular basis since I have to be up at 3.30am on Tuesdays to drive. I don't know my Christmas schedule yet but I've heard I'm only getting one more day on the road per week . Other than that we'll be moving late Nov-early Dec. 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations or work-related trips that you know of now between November and February (besides during the break)? If so, when? Not to the best of my knowledge. I would also like to make the following addendum to my application. I know you, in the past, have had concerns about Jen and me playing in the same game. If this is still an issue I am more than willing to back away and let Jen play. She managed to come in 3rd while I only stayed in a week. She is a true All-Star. So if only one of us can be in then please take her. Either way I'll know everything about the game, whether I want to or not, lol. BTW: Pirates of Dark Water was a great show! Thanks for the chance, Sam. It's much appreciated. Especially after playing other games I realize how much you put into yours and I must say that they are definitely extra-ordinary. Peace, Lew Thus Spake the PaC RaT

First Name: Patrick Age: 18 Location(State/Country):Pa, USA Occupation: College Student Hey hey former player! Thank you for your interest in playing the All-Stars game of my series! If you are coming back for a second game, something must have gone a little right, and I’m glad that you are interested in playing again. What follows is just a small survey to get some official information from you and have all the stuff I need on file. Take a few minutes to fill it out and send it to sam.burkett@gmail.com (there’s a period after sam in there) let’s say before Thanksgiving. I’d also like to talk to everyone on AIM (SorintheSeeker) so if I see you online say hi to catch up on things. =) The message board is open as of now and more things will be added as November continues. I’m looking to start the game after Thanksgiving with a two week break for the Winter Holidays. Let’s start with the questions! 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? It was ALL Katie's fault. She insisted on voting out Nikki when I told her Jen was the best bet for us to get to the final 3. Which would have happened. If Jen went I would have had Final 2 no matter what, both Katie and nikki would have taken me. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I will play it similarly and different at the same time. I know somewhat to expect from most players and I knoe who is a threat. I've learned that my decisions are the right ones F5 <3 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I disliked being accused of being Kip. Don't accuse me <3 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic ), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. My enemies: Hector we get on eachothers nerves bad Jen she is so stupid Erici hate him Ben pls don't let him play Tom he's wierd Eve jake makes me mad Richie kill him Rowdy we don't like achother Brett eww Neil noo both Kevins i don't like them VAL I HATE HER SO MUCH Chuck he is so paranoid Annette eww kill her! Jon i really hate him Tim FUGKY TIM! Allies Katie I love her 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? I think I got 1 I came in 2nd and 3rd in a lot 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. I have finals from dec 11th - 16th I go out a lot thursday- saturdsyas mainly most of the time its not til 9-11 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd.

First Name: Jamie Age: 21 Location(State/Country): Boston, MA Occupation: Student/e-Commerce Analyst/Book Clerk Let’s start with the questions! 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? - Oh, so you start with the hard questions, eh, Sam? Meanie. I was voted out first because of the Yemeyah curse. Zephyr planted seeds of doubt about the strength of our tribe in the rest of the players, plus we had been fairly cocky in public - bad idea. I couldn't even work my legendary charm on Nyx until itw as too late, lol. I probably also would've been better off split from Lauren during the tribal split. I would've been better off with Scott - but that's all in hindsight. 2)How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game youfirst played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? - I play every game differently based on surroundings, people and circumstances. I have never claimed to play the same game twice and I hope never to do so. I suspect I'll float for a little and play my charm factor, wait to see who I'm with, who's with whom and who I can batt my eyelashes at. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? - The game itself was great, loved the twists, absolutely adored the challenges (hell, I was challenged, I was so used to breezing through them it was a great feeling). I mean things I would've changed would've been social. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemieswith in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. - Oh good lord... Kira/Lisa: Never ally, always against each other, I just disagree with the way she plays - which is UTR and unavailable. I don't care for her as a conversaionalist - and generally speaking I align with people who can hold interesting conversations. Ben: I've hosted and last I'd heard from him he didn't care for me the least.. I'm indifferent. Angie: An all-stars game whose cast hasn't been released yet. We became close and tight allies in it. Valerie: I've played for her and with her, I'm not sure where we stand right now... Lew: Plotted his demise in OSNA (Val's game) and won that game, I think that we're cool. Basically I became a 4th wheel to his alliance and then turned on them for a better prospect after it was made abundantly clear. Angela: I have no played with but his played for me. Annette: And I general never got along in games - no fighting, just no connection. Joel: Hosted. 5)How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How oftendid you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so,how many? - I think I may have missed one and had to do the 24 hour one a day early. I think, generally, I'm a solid IC competitor. I didn't win any individual 'cause I didn't get there.. (::glares at Kevin and Josh: 6) What outside, real life, activities do you haveon nights from December – February that would keep you from playing?Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any daybetween Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywherebetween 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regularactivity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule aroundyou! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges,please say so on your application. - I work on Saturday - the time varies. I work on Sunday - but am almost always by a computer by 8pm. Otherwise I can manuver around any social schedule I have. 7) The game will be goingon a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from aroundDecember 20th to January 3rd. Are you going on any 3 day+ vacations orwork-related trips that you know of now between November and February(besides during the break)? If so, when? - I’ll be busy Christmas Eve, Christmas, News Years Eve and News Years. I don’t know what my 2nd job work schedule is, but my first one has me working all but Christmad and Day after Christmas. I’m leaving March 3rd for France though. Remember that youneed AIM to play. In order to talk to your tribemates, you should atleast turn on AIM (maybe with an away message) for around at least anhour everyday so you can contact them. You will also need tosend a picture to use (you know what’s it’s for) along with yourapplication. The larger and clearer and just of you (i.e. no friends inthe photo) the better. Unfortunately I lost all your pictures when mycomputer crashed so I need to get em back. Thanks again and I absolutely cannot WAIT for the game to begin! - The picture will have to wait 'cause I'm not on my regular computer. I may wait until I dye it again too A week tops, I promise!

First Name: Aaron Age: 17 Location(State/Country): Indiana, United States Occupation: Sports Columnist 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? I was never voted out of Survivor Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass. If the game continued, I have a feeling I would have been in at least the Final Three, if not the F2. 2) How will you play the game similarly or differently than the game you first played in? What have you learned about Survivor since then? I’m going to try and tone down myself. After rereading the confessionals in Through the Looking Glass, I’ve realized that I can be annoying sometimes. I’ve played in some games after Wonderland and I feel that my gameplay has improved by leaps and bounds, even though my placing in those games have not. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? Just don’t cancel it. Everything else was enjoyable. 4) After looking at the list of eligible All-Stars players (found here: p101.ezboard.com/fsurvivor4wonderlandfrm11.showMessage?topicID=11.topic), which have you had significant alliances or been significant enemies with in other online reality games? Please list as many as possible. Hockey Matt - Allies. Katie - Allies. Patrick - Enemies Brett - Allies Vince - Allies Valerie - Enemies Monique - Enemies 5) How well did you do in Immunity Challenges in your season? How often did you attend them? Did you win any Individual Immunities, and if so, how many? I was 1/1 in individual immunities and I participated in every Tribal Immunity Challenge. 6) What outside, real life, activities do you have on nights from December – February that would keep you from playing? Immunity Challenges will be held at night two times a week, on any day between Sunday and Thursday. They will most likely start anywhere between 7-10 PM CST and last around one hour. If you have a regular activity during these times, please tell me so I can schedule around you! If you do not think you could make these live Immunity Challenges, please say so on your application. There are no foreseeable distractions between the times you have mentioned 7) The game will be going on a 1-2 week break for the Winter Holidays, most likely from around December 20th to January 3rd.
