First Name: Kevin Age: 17 Location(State/Country): Pennsylvania Occupation: High School Senior AIM Screenname: l3tterstoy0u E-mail: l3tterstoy0u@msn.com 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? I wasn't voted out, a ha! =) 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 will play the game very much the same way that I played before- but of course with a few adjustments. I want to definitely go under the radar, without a doubt. I think last time I was more open and friendly and actually wanted to initiate conversations, but this time I think I will still be friendly and nice- but let other people approach me. Let them think that I am not really "into" it this time. Since playing Survivor: Paradise, the biggest thing I learned was that people's emotions are real and messing around with them is nothing to kid about. I will take that into consideration this time, and although it is a one in a million chance I will be the sole survivor again, I want to leave the game with a clean conscious win or lose. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? The thing I liked most about Paradise was the Tribal Councils and Challenges, the bare necessities of Survivor. I thought they were put together very well and not like any I had seen before. I honestly can't think of one thing I would change about the way it was hosted. 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. Samantha (Carlsbad)- Hosted Patrick (Machu Picchu)- Hosted Tom (Machu Picchu)- Hosted Richie (Machu Picchu)- Big Brother Continental, small alliance, Richie 10th place, Me 2nd Stacy (Paradise)- Hosted Kevin M (Paradise)- Hosted Valerie (Paradise)- Hosted, Known for a while outside of game, had a few fights but became friends afterwards Annette (Wonderland)- Hosted, Alliance in Survivor Chukchi (Annette 7th, Me 10th), Alliance Through Whole Game in Survivor Mindanao (http://www.geocities.com/survivormindanao) (Annette 4th, Me 3rd) Monique (Wonderland)- Hosted Jon (Wonderland)- Hosted, played a few games with...also was in Survivor Mindanao, arch enemies Rebnik (Wonderland)- Hosted Joel (Wonderland)- Hosted 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 thought I did pretty well in the immunity challenges, even if you think I cheated =P I only missed two challenges the entire game and won three individual immunities, Final 6, Final 4, and Final 3. 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 school during the weekdays, and winter track for a little bit afterwards. Band is over, but I will probably be working two days a week, I couldn't tell you how many hours but work is work. Blah! 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? 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 Nope, I am not going on any major trips. For my picture, just go to viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=28529346&friendName=l3tterstoy0u&Mytoken= F857D27F-1235-D6D0-EB5412783F4B861773825562 for a selection of great pictures! I 100% honestly don't care which one you use (besides the old ones with hair!) so knock yourself out.

First Name: Will Age: 20 Location(State/Country): Ontario, Canada 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? Let me start by saying that there’s a difference of opinion on this subject, but I will give you both what I was told by Changhui was the reason I was voted out, and then I will give you the real reason I was voted out . . . aka my point of view. I’m sure if you asked Changhui he would still say to this day that the reason he voted out was because he claims I got cocky and has told me I acted rudely, which I don’t deny doing at all and I would do it all over again the same way because it was fun LOL. But yes, I was most certainly an asshole to them for the last little while but that’s only because I was trying to shake them a bit and make them think that maybe they weren’t as in control as they thought they were. I knew there was probably little chance to do this, but I figured that in an alliance of three there is always an odd man out so I was hoping to capitalize on that. He also, if I recall, mentioned something about me not being aware enough of what was going on in the game and cited that as a reason to vote me out, but I think that is complete bullshit as I had a pretty good idea of what was going on for most of the time as Doug was my inside information. What I ultimately felt led to my demise was my pretty decent immunity run seen as a threat, the fact that Changhui felt I would be perceived as better liked by the jury and thus a threat in the F2 (which may or may not have been true I never really found out what the jury thought of me, nor did I really care LOL), and the fact that I was pretty abrasive and upfront and possibly he was worried of what I would say in regards to the F2 questions about him. But lest we not forget the main reason why I was voted out: KIRA. KIRA SUCKED DONKEY COCK SO BAD AT THE GAME AND CHANG KNEW IT, HE KNEW SHE WAS DISLIKED BY THE ENTIRE JURY, AND HE KNEW THAT SHE TYPED LIKE THIS AND IT WAS REALLY FUCKING IRRITATING AND THUS HE WOULD WIN AGAINST HER HANDS DOWN NO QUESTION. That is why I was voted out J. 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 to say, I can’t see myself playing any differently than I played in the first game. It is very hard for me to keep my mouth shut about people LOL. Obviously I won’t go right out and tell people to go fuck themselves right off the bat because that’s just stupid, but if I feel that I’m in a good position or that I am going to go down either way (ala Carlsbad) I will say whatever is on my mind. I will go just as hard at all challenges to win. I’m not going to not play hard just so I can be perceived as a non-immunity threat, but if I feel secure enough when it comes time for individual immunites that I won’t be voted out at that particular time then I probably will not try as hard to win. Clearly I will try my hardest always for team challenges because nobody wants to be the weak link. My approach to talking people will always be the same no matter who you are so I don’t see myself changing that. The only thing I can see myself changing about how I played the game is not having such an outright alliance like I had with the Secret Alliance. I want to try to be a little more of the silent puppet master behind the scenes with alliances and making strategic decisions, while still remaining a person who is at the forefront of the game and not so UTR. The only thing I’ve learned about survivor since then is that anyone can win and no one is a bigger threat than the other. The only time you are safe from others is when they name you the Sole Survivor. 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 going to be a kiss ass like a lot of the people I’ve seen around here and worship your games and tell you how great you are so they can get on Allstars LOL, but you know how I feel about the entire process when I played and how I feel about you. Sincerely, and that is the key word “sincerely” LOL, I can tell you are an awesome, down to earth host who doesn’t take shit from nobody and your games are ALWAYS creative and each one is distinctly different. Loved the challenges, don’t change how those go. Keep up the good work. The only thing I would recommend for All-Stars is try really hard to not include people who are inactive cause they are a downer, and maybe try not to have so many “friends” be apart of the game together. I think you know what that means LOL. But most importantly if there is one recommendation that you MUST adhere by it is DO NOT INCLUDE KIRA. DO YOU REALLY WANT ANOTHER SEASON OF READING CONFESSIONALS AND CONVERSATIONS LIKE THIS, YOU ARE A SMART MAN, DON’T DO IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. 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 online reality game run was pretty limited as I only played 3 games one of which was cancelled, so basically 2 games, and thus I do not know a significant number of these people. The only alliances I had in the games I have played were with Connie and Matt, and a pseudo-alliance with Doug. But can I just take this time to say that I find a LARGE number of the people who have played your games highly irritating. There have only been a select few who I could see myself actually liking. I’ve been doing a lot of watching from the sidelines taking everything in and seeing who are friends with who and who hates who and pretty much no one knows who I am, which is a good possibility it will be a disadvantage for me as these people are in love with each other. But the question is do they REALLY love each other so much like they portray themselves to do. I think no, I think a lot of it is fake, and that’s why I think it might not be such a disadvantage for me but I guess I’ll just have to wait and see. I’m not going to name names of who I dislike and like yet, I’ll save that for the game if you choose me ![;)](http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/indifferent.gif) LOL. 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 for the most part I did pretty well in immunities, especially when I was on the Secret Tribe since most of my team was always MIA. I tried to attend every challenge and the only times I missed them was if I had to work or had an important class. I won a few individual immunities, I can’t remember the exact number, I think it was 3 maybe? LOL I don’t know. I might have been able to win more if I actually tried my hardest in the beginning when we merged but I didn’t feel it necessary to win them then so I didn’t give off the perception I was good at them. I won them near the end when it counted and when that was one of my only options for staying in the game aside from strategizing. 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. From now until December 8th I’m unavailable Mondays and Wednesdays in the evening because I have class then and available all other days, but after that I’m available any day until January 3rd when classes resume and I’m unavailable Mondays from then on at that time but available all other days. 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? The only time I will be away for a significant amount of time is Friday, November 25th, to Sunday November 27th but I don’t think the game is even starting then so disregard this LOL.

First Name: Lynne Age: 25 Location(State/Country): Mass Occupation:Real Estate Agent 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? I was voted out for being strong in personality and strong in challenges and not making the right choices. I'm stubborn and that showed in Wonderland. I believe that my alias Lydia also came to bite me in the ass with Angela amongst other things. Needless to say that I definitely learned from that experience. 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've learned a lot, between this, Survivor: Avalon and Survivor: Senkaku. In Wonderland I learned that it is probably best to play behind the scenes to begin with. In Avalon I learned that it is better to be yourself than to let another personality control you. In Senkaku I learned that giving is better than receiving and that self-sacrifice feels great. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I know that one thing that caught me really off guard was the constant switching. I'm of the mindset that challenges are really great the 1st time around but I wouldn't want to see that again it wouldn't be fresh and new, I think it would be played and old. 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 have played with Ben in Avalon, all I remember about him was his overreaction to just about everything. I also played with Angela in Avalon, I would prefer not to have to face off with her again. She doesn't quite believe that Lydia was just a character and not some minor facet of my personality. Scott was another that I played with in Avalon, I came to respect and appreciate him even if he tried to turn on me in the end, but I got the last laugh *g* One last person of note is Jamie who I think would be a significant enemy. When we were on good terms we talked about doing a game together one day, alligning to weed out the unworthy ones and then taking off and letting the blood flow. I fear that the blood would flow on first contact. 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 wasn't the powerhouse that everyone made me out to be but I enjoyed the challenges and put time and effort into them. I never won individual immunity in this game. 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 a social butterfly and I don't schedule engagements months in advance. As with Wonderland my job dictates the strangest of hours and I am a slave to the customers. 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'm taking a vacation to Italy from December 19 to January 2nd. Just a little outside the scope of your break by a day on either end. I also have a weekend vacation scheduled in late January to Maine, I don't remember the dates, remind me to get back to you on that. 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. Its presumed that you mean when the game starts. I run AIM but its not the SN people know and I prefer to keep it that way. When needed I can boot up Windfinder. 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. You can use the same from Wonderland as you don't have it I'll need to dig it up, I think someone had it on the web for me. i4.photobucket.com/albums/y108/LynneSedai/lynne.jpgThanks again and I absolutely cannot WAIT for the game to begin! thnx let me be honest and say that i rlly wanna play again and if you dont choose me i understand my placing and game in wonderland was less than stellar and i couldve devoted so much more time to it and i shouldve devoted much more time to it i played too many games in a row and too many in the same time frame. that was a bad idea. i havent played any since senkaku ended and that was only shortly after wonderland. rested i do be. .....l..y..n..n..e.....

Ooh please accept it still!!!!! I would love to be a part of the game! First Name: Tori (Victoria) Age: 17 Location(State/Country): , PA Occupation: High School Senior 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? Well, all thoughout the game, I was seen as a threat - physically, socially. Also, a bad move on my part was not hiding my alliance with Ethan. But then again, it sort of worked out because he was the first target in our alliance, giving me a chance to flip flop and try to regain my posture in the game (it just didn't work out.) Basically, we were stuck with low numbers come merge. The Cheshires kept their numbers better than the Hookahs did through all the switches, and there were plenty of alliances I was left out of. Once Ethan, who was of course my tightest ally, was voted out, I knew my time would come soon. I tried to get into the alliance with Travis, Angela, and Tyler, and tried to make an alliance with mark and Minor, but of course, everyone talked... of course then didn't feel comfortable enough with me, leading to my 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? Similarly - I will continue trying to charm the other players whom I see will benefit me and will tell them what they want to hear - little "white lies" I guess you could say. ![;)](http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/indifferent.gif) I will also try my hardest to go down with a fight, which I feel I did in Wonderland. I'll work my ass off in challenges and I'll be at every one. Differently - I will not try to make alliances with people who hate me, unless I really need to, because that just didn't work out. I will NOT ignore people whom I don't see as a threat, because that hurt me in Wonderland. I might try making alliances with people weaker than me, rather than stronger than me, like Ethan was. I will try to avoid being seen as such a major threat. And most importantly, I will not disappear at the end of my game.. ![;)](http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/indifferent.gif) What I have learned: I'll start with 2 quotes that I think work in Survivor. The first is "Actions speak louder than words," because in Survivor, I doubt anyone can get out of situations just by talking - it's what they actually do and how they come off that matters. The second is "Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer" - in Wonderland, I did not follow this enough - at times, I think I paid too much attention to my alliance members and not enough to the other competitors, like Chuck, who blew everyone out of the water, and I never saw it coming. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? Seriously, I liked everything. I wouldn't change a thing, except for my gameplay, which I already laid out. From what I've seen, I think the setup for Asteria will be awesome and I'd love to be a part of it. 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. Wonderland was my first ORG game, and you know who I was close with in that - notably Ethan, Travis, and Tyler. I haven't been in any ORG's with any of those others. 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 well in the Immunity challenges - I helped lead my team to victory a bunch of times. I attended very often - only missed one or two. I didn't have a chance to win any individual immunities, unfortunately, before I was voted off. 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. Wednesdays, 7:30-9 CST, I have a rehearsal for a band I'm in.. but besides that, I'm pretty much free, but my schedule tends to be spontaneous at times. 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! My picture should be attached.. thanks so much!

First Name: Ryan Age: 21 Location(State/Country): WA Occupation: Student 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? Well, for the most part, I was booted for being the immunity threat, and cocky to boot. I was arguably the strongest member of the strongest tribe, so we all know how that one plays out. 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, I haven't played any games since then, but I think the main thing I'll chance about my gameplay is to keep my mouth shut a little bit more. Things that I think of as "playful banter" are more typically interpreted as fightin' words, so I've gotta be more aware of that. But besides that, I'm still going to be the same Ryan I've always been. No half-assing challenges. If I get a strong group of competitors beside me, it can very well be a strategy that works until the end. I mean, look at Tom Westman. Besides, Survivor is no fun if you're not going balls to the wall. If my spunk gets me booted first, so be it. 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 can think of that is a bit of a turn-off (and don't take this the wrong way) is the way you sometimes deal with players who don't meet your standards. I agree that removing Tim from Paradise was a good move, but I remember thinking some of the drama between you and Angie was a little unnecessary, particularly because it was so late in the game. There's a point where I think the host should bite his tongue until the very end and jus tlet things play out. It sends a much better message to the players, IMO. But you're great! ![:)](http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif) 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. Ethan would be the only one. I played in a game with him in the summer of 2003. We were in the dominant tribe that made F6. People thought of us as the power duo of the game, until he went a little paranoid. He turned his back on me, won a tiebreaker in his favor at F6. Through a 3-long immunity streak, I squeaked into the final three, but lost there. He placed second, though I voted for him to win. A strong competitor, albeit full of the paranoia. 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 won two individual immunities when my ass was against the wall. I scorched tribal immunities when I was able to participate in them. I'm good. I won't lie. 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, I'll be working a couple nights a week from 6-8 PST, but that shouldn't be a problem for a couple of reasons. One, we're rescheduling in January, so I can schedule my shifts around immunity challenges. Also, I'm only working three nights a week at my food service job this semester, as opposed to five during Paradise. I also picked up another job working at a computer lab, but that job is a joke, and I'll have full computer access whenever I'm working there. Hell, I'm writing this application from the computer lab. 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? Nothing that I'm aware of that will keep me away from the computer for multiple days. No trips to Italy or anything. Photos Attached. I've got one less awful one that I'll send when I have access to it. Peace out. -Ryan

First Name: Mark Age: 16 Location(State/Country): Ohio/USA Occupation: Sophomore 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? When I was playing, I believed I had been voted out because Tyler, Travis, and Angela had lost their trust in me after voting for Angela. Being annoying and telling everyone everyday that I was next to go wasn’t that helpful, either :-\. After the game ended, I believe that I had been destined to go for a long time, I just ended up avoiding being voted out by fortunate circumstances (Lynne, Richard, Tori, Minor, and Travis all went when I was vulnerable and soon to go). By the time I was voted out, the 3-way alliance of Chuck/Tyler/Angela had been set and everyone felt confident that they would make it far. Not being able to win the Final 4 immunity (although I was the only person still in the game to make it into the safe) was the final blow, and my last few days in the game were days of stubbornness, because by that time, I doubt there was anything I could do to save 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? My game will be played differently in that I won’t try to become aligned with every single person I talk to. I also have to avoid talking about alliances until I can see that I am bonding with someone more than usual (Survivor tends to make people so friendly). My problem with my last game was that everyone found out that I was playing sides and tried to make too many alliances. What I will try to do in this game is be friendly but avoid making alliances with people that I don’t want to see make it far. In other words, I have to be truthful about my loyalties and be aligned to only one alliance instead of making too many. One thing that definitely won’t change is my communication with everybody in my tribe(s), because part of my reason in playing online Survivor is to make new friends and get acquainted with people outside of Ohio. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? My major dislike of my game was the inability to win more than two individual immunities in a row. That was just awful! To me, at least. There was no way for me to advance in my game other than to claim immunity. The problem with that rule is that if I was the only deserving player left to win and I was in the minority, there was no way I could get to the Final 2. However, the other major twist, the Switcheroo, was something that I did enjoy, because it made for a diversified tribe and made the game more fun. My only recommendation for change is that people can win immunity as often as they want :-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. None! The only game I’ve played in was Wonderland. 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? In my season, I believe I did well in most of the challenges. There’s only one challenge in mind that I absolutely flunked in… Scattergories. In challenges such as The Great Quandary and Chain Link, I was beneficial in winning immunity for my tribe. In most of the individual challenges, I placed in the top four. If my mind is remembering correctly, the only challenges I missed were Outburst and Selection. Otherwise, I was in every challenge from beginning to end. I did win two immunity challenges, The Sprint and Wonderland History, and a potential third, Code Breakers, if it weren’t for the blasted rule about 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. Let’s see… Mondays I have Jazz Band practice 6:00-7:30 PM EST (all my times are going to be EST). Tuesdays are Amazing Race from 9-10 PM. Wednesdays are free. Thursdays are Survivor 8-9 PM and Celebrity Poker Showdown 9-11 PM (though it’s ending) along with private lessons at 6 PM. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays all are free. There’s also winter concerts for Orchestra and Band that I have to participate in that will be either two Wednesday or Thursday evenings. Other than that, I should be 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? There’s none that come to mind. If the game ends up lasting longer than expected and goes into March, I do have a Disney World trip with the band for the last week of March, but hopefully the game will be over by then. And my picture is at img189.imageshack.us/img189/671/mark14rv.jpg . This is my real picture this time, not that dorky kid that I used for last game.

First Name: Lexie Age: 23 Location(State/Country): Washington, DC Occupation: Student 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? Oh wow, I really don't remember. I think there was basically a four person alliance for the most of the game which had rotating members. Eventually, when it got down to the end, I was bitter rivals with a few other people. I won a necessary challenge, but the first time I lost it, I was a goner. 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 a little bit smarter. Last time I wasn't really in the game until the end, when I got into it passionately, but it was a little too late at that point. Hopefully this time I can find a set alliance earlier on. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? Nothing really. None of my (few) allies were in it, so it was hard, and I hated some of the bitches in the game, but what can you do? The only thing I disliked about it was how intense it got! My recommendation is put me in a great tribe! ![:)](http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif) 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 really don't think theres anyone there, and I doubt I'd remember them anyways. 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? Umm, I know I won that awesome challenge that I needed to survive. Final 5 I think it was? And then I managed to make it to the Final Four before those bitches finally managed to get me out. Hehe. So, I think I did pretty well on winning and attending. Of course when I need to win them I'll try a little harder... ![;)](http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/indifferent.gif) 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, I have classes and work, but thats during the 9-5 hours for the most part. Nights are better mainly. 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 ----- Hope thats good! I have to find a picture I like...I'll send that along tomorrow when I'm less tired. ~Lexie

All-Stars Application! First Name: Tyler Age: 20 Location(State/Country): Kingsport, TN Occupation: YMCA Counselor AIM Screenname: TequillaBurrito E-mail: Tramey1@hotmail.com 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? -I was in Survivor: Wonderland, and I was lucky enough to be the winner! 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 that online Survivor is so very different than the real show. When people are screwed over, they RARELY forget. I have learned that you have to do whatever it takes to make it to the top. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? I loved my season. Everything about it was top notch 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. Of course my precious Katie. I adore her. Other than that, my Wonderland buddies Angela, Chuck, and Travis I obviously favor. 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 original tribe (Queenies) was a JOKE in challenges. We just couldnt get it together. I think I won two individual immunities in Wonderland 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 free ANY night except for Tuesday night (my night class). This class will be over on December 15th though, and after that, I can make any night function. 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? No, I will be in town for Christmas

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.

Name: Matt Age: 24 Location: TX Occupation: college student Gender: male Sexual Preference: bisexual
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 I have played about 30 to 50 games, however these were a long time ago.. I took a break from gaming and haven't played in almost a year now.. but I'm a good player and I tend to place high past the merge most of the time =)
2) Why do you want to play this Survivor game? To meet new people, to test your Survivor ability, or another reason? LOL a little bit of nostalgia. I've always wanted to play one of Sam Burkett's games and it just never seemed to be the right time for me to play and time went by .. and now the last opportunity comes up.. I sure as hell am going to try and get a piece of action! =D
3) What's your strategy? How well can you see other people's strategies and work to counter them? My basic strategy is to find a good group of people that I like and try to get us all as far as we can.. however, if there is an evil alliance going on, I can become very anti-alliance. It just depends on who the players are and how they play.
4) What sets you apart from other candidates? I am the first and possibly the only tiger that anyone knows who plays these games LOL I'm also deaf and that gives me an unique perspective on social skills I also have a bunch of other strong points.. but blah blah blah =)
5) How much time do you spend online in an average day or week? It varies.. depends on if i have to be online for a reason. Yes an online game does count as a valid reason so I'd be online as much as needed.
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 GSA meetings at 7 pm thursdays.. but that's during survivor so i'm sure other people are unavail at these times as well? Other times should not really be a 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?
We are going to Las Vegas at the beginning of our winter break. I believe it starts on Dec 15th or 16th. that's pretty much it.
8) Summarize your life for me in 75 words or less. =)
I hate these kinds of questions because LOL a good chunk of what summarizes up my life is pretty much the answers to your other questions above. That does make my life sound a little pathetic.. but actually I think it's rather ordinary. Definitely not a complaint. I don't think that I could handle having a life like your Pye cousin because.. OMG can you imagine all the shit she has to deal with? LOL I'm very appreciative of the fact that I can lead a normal life and have fun doing whatever I want to be doing. There's something nice about that. I can die knowing that I did what I wanted to do. Some people feel like they need to make a name for themselves before they die. I don't get that at all. Making a mark on the world doesn't necessarily mean you're doing what would make YOURSELF happy. If that makes any sense? Anyways, I hope that was 75 words or less. If not.. oops. =) You got me started... lol.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. thanks sam for extending the deadline. That saved my thanksgiving! =) I hope this picture I sent you looks okay. i'm not sure i chose the right file so let me know if there's something that seems off.. such as me sleeping... or worse, nudity. =P Okay thanks.
Matt

First Name:Jennifer Age:33 Location(State/Country):Upstat NY Occupation:YMCA Child Care Teacher 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? I guess the reason I was voted out was I think Nikki thought that if she brought me to the final two she could not win against 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? Now that I have played in a number of different games, Im not going to do the innosent rount. Like saying I just want to make the jury. Yes that did get me far in the game last time but I just don't see that happening again. What I have learned in playing since then is write in my journal a lot more.LOL Sorry Sam about not writing in it alot last time. I have learned to do that a lot more now. and the other thing I have learned from playing more games is that just really being myself most of the time does work. making friends. But if need be I will have to backstab them just to make myself survive in the game. 3) What did you like or dislike about the game you played in? What recommendations for changes would you make for All-Stars? Actually I loved every min of the game I would not change a thing. 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.Lets see here. 1. Kira aka as her self Lisa. I have been cohosted by her and played a game with her. 2.Will M mini game with 3.Katie a couple of other games with.LOL 4.Tom 2 other games with 5.Richie he hosted a game I was in. 6.Eve aka Jake 2 games with and he hosted a couple I was in but never really began. 7.Brett one other game 8.Stacy one other game wear I was booted before the game really even started. 9. Valerie the game I was booted out because of a challenge race she hosted. 10.Lew haha yes one other game I got 5th and he got third 11.Tyler- In a big brother game with and the game was hosted by Jake and never finnished. 12.Kristy played in a mole game with her. 13.Kevin M. I forgot I played in that same mole game with him. he was first and I came in second in that game. thats it.I have not really had any real significant alliances with these players, I have just really done my thing. 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?Immunity challeneges that was a joke for me. I did not win any individual immunity but I did win in a couple of tribe ones. I think for me they were tough and thats why I did not win any. Don't get me wrong they are great challenges. I think I attended all 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. usually Im home. I have no life, exept that Im moving at the end of this month and I do have a lot of work to do to get arredited for work but that should not interfer with the game. 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? should be no problem for me. Im not going anywhere. At least as far as I know.

First Name: Matt O’Mara Age: 19 Location(State/Country): Michigan, USA Occupation: Student 1) Why were you voted out of the game you played in? What led to you being voted out? I was voted of the game for trying to manipulate a group of people to follow me, when they had their own plan already made. It made my alliance and myself a target and got us voted out. I was trying to take over the game, when I should have laid low for a bit. 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 basically the same way, with a few changes of course. Live and learn right? I won’t be so trusting of people this time around, which bit me in the ass last time. I’ll be sure to talk to people more and post my confessional more so I can refer to things easier. 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 mostly everything about the game I played in, and most of my gripes about it were answered in the games that followed. The main problem, I thought, was lack of participation in certain challenges. I don’t know if people felt overly secure, or just didn’t care about the game, or if there was scheduling issues, but that is something you really can’t fix. It’s luck of the draw thing. What I liked was the personalized voting. I love being able to make my own parchment and put witty remarks on it to add some salt to the wounds of players. Heh. I also liked the originality of the challenges involved in all 4 of the games I played in/watched. 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. In CBC I had alliances with Will M, Connie and Hector. Secondary alliances with Changhui, Ross and Kira. In other games outside of yours I have had alliances with Patrick, Richie, Brett, Aaron (side story), Vince, and Katie. There may be a few more, but I can’t think of them now. If I do, I’ll be sure to IM you about it. 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 believe I did fairly well in the IC’s in my game. I won a few (3 I think) of the Individual Challenges and helped lead my tribe to a few in the tribal portion of the game. I attended as many as I could, based on my work/school schedule, but I think I missed 2 tribal challenges and 1 individual one. 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 hockey season ends December 11th and is held on Monday nights. I usually work Sunday nights from 5:30 to 11 EST. I also work during the weekend (Friday-Saturday), but am usually home between 8pm-9:15pm EST. I have school during the week on Tuesday and Thursday (noon – 2pm EST). School ends on December 14th and will start again in January sometime, but should be during the morning and afternoon. 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’m not planning on taking any trips during that time.
