I came into this game pretty much sure I would've been gone first, since I got a borderline inactive (and by that I mean he posted more in arguing with Lucinda than actually doing any of the challenges), and somehow I made it to the final three, so I definitely got nothing to be upset about.
Chloe, we didn't talk too much, and that was my fault. I'm not well known for being a "social" player in these games, but the little I got to talk to you, I really enjoyed it, and I saw you the whole time as a huge threat in the game and someone to look out for. You overcame the deficit of being on a totally lame-ass tribe to make it all the way to the end, and I commend you for that. Cal, I dunno, you put effort in the game but it seemed that Chloe carried you most of the time.
Holden, I loved the conversations we had and working with you was a blast. I'm glad you and Trent got married so you got an Idol, and you gave 100% into everything in this game. Trent, like Cal, it seemed like you did less than Holden.
So for whoever wins I'm truly happy for you, and you deserve the win!
My question is: Taking the shows/movies these players came from: Derailed Harper's Island Hansel & Gretel Cabin in the Woods Shaun of the Dead I Still Know What You Did Last Summer Friday the 13th Dexter Zombieland Warm Bodies
How would you rank your favorite, from 1 (being your favorite show/movie) to 10 (being your least favorite show/movie), and explanations for each.

I'm a huge movie buff, so for me this is going to be fun. - 1) Dexter
I'm a huge Dexter fan. I came into the series late in the game, but I gave it a try, fell in love, did a marathon and am anxiously awaiting the final season.
- 2) Cabin in the Woods
From the previews I thought I'd hate this film and avoided watching it for as long as possible. Then I eventually caved and LOVE it. What I liked most was all the nods to the classic horror films. Everything from the basement door to the actual creatures.
- 3) Zombieland
Easily one of the best horror comedies AND one of the best zombie films ever. I could watch it a million times and I think they're not doing the film justice with its TV adaptation.
- 4) Shaun of the Dead
Right under Zombieland for horror comedy. I'm already a sucker for British cinema to begin with, but throw in these 2 actors and zombies. I'm sold. lol
- 5) Hansel & Gretel
Awesome effects and amazing actors. Love Famke Janssen <3 Great plot (though a tad predictable) and acting. I like how it also felt like it was in the same world as Brothers Grimm. It's a movie ship of mine. I'd love to see them bring the 2 films together somehow. lol It'll never happen, but I can dream.
- 6) Harper's Island
It started slow and was hard to really get to know half the cast, but once you did...it really hooks you in and makes it all worth while. Plus I will always feel Cal & Chloe's deaths are one of the most emotional in horror. Gives me chills every time.
- 7) Warm Bodies
Good film, just a bit slow IMO. That plus the entire time I was watching I couldn't help but to think...why aren't any of these zombies decayed, scratched, bit, etc. Those that weren't bonies seemed to be in perfect condition. lol Just bugged me. Good film though. Still a better love story than Twilight. <3
- 8) Friday the 13th
I love the series, I do. I had a marathon of all the films a few months back just to rewatch some of the better ones and to watch those I had never seen before for the first time. This one in particular I felt lacked in one particular point. The killer. I like who the killer was, just not how it was handled. There was no build up at all. You had deaths all film long then a random character introduced as the killer with no foreshadowing. It's like if I was to tell you to guess what number I'm thinking of then I tell you it's -900. Nobody's going to think of -900 cause nobody knew the negatives were an option.
- 9) I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
I can respect the fact it's a 90s classic and is well done, I personally found it to be a bit dull. It identified the killer from the start of the film, which took away from the film for me. I like the kind of horror where it keeps you guessing.
- 10) Derailed
This is last only because this is the only in this list I've not actually seen.

I'm not really a fan of horror films so some of them i havent seen... but here goes. 1) Harper's Island: A friend got me hooked on the show and its where i feel in love with Chloe and Cal... and became a fan of Matt Barr... i thought it was scary and needed my dog to wathch it. 2)Zombieland: I thought this movie was great. It was super funny and it had a good plot and really great actors. 3)Hansel & Gretel: I havent seen it because i missed it but i really want to. I'm a huge fan of all the fairytale movies turing into action films. Plus H&G are in my top 5 fav fairy tale characters... and who doesnt love Jeremy Renner 4)Warm Bodies: Another one i havent seen but i'm in love with the girl from the film (she was in I am number 4) and Nicholas Holt, great actos. I like zombie films because most of them are comedies and its good to laugh at things that scare you. 5) Friday the 13th: So i own this movie but am too chicken to watch it alone. It has Chelsea, Nolan, and of corse Trent in it but the main reason i'd watch it is because of Danielle Panabaker who i adore and at one point wanted to marry. 6)-10) These i have no idea what they are about so i cant really rank them... i'm sorry Talla Dexter Derailed Cabin in the Woods Shaun of the Dead I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

Oh, I was thinking of the original Friday the 13th. Didn't dawn on me you meant the reboot. *facepalm* LOL Classics are always better though. <3

1) I Still Know What You Did Last Summer ~ Classics always rule and for me, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer had all the key parts in making the sequel a success. The characters were there, the location was set, and the plot was interesting. 2) Harper's Island ~ I put Harper's Island here for hte reason that not many horror survival shows make it to the TV screen. I just loved this show because the characters gave vibrant, variating personalities, and the storyline was just awesome. I fell in love with the Top 6 Characters of the show: Trish, Henry, Abby, Cal, Chloe, and Jimmy. All the death scenes were different and very visual, can't beat that. 3) Friday the 13th ~ Friday the 13th remake is definitely a good reboot back to the series because it is made into more modern situations. The way this movie was shot seems almost realisitc and the actors/actresses who portrayed the characters seem to get along within the movie because it showed on film. 4) Hansel & Gretel ~ This movie was awesome! The acting was done great, the storyline was decent, although a lot of people saw the ending coming....but this movie brought two worlds together of the movie and the book. 5) Zombieland ~ This movie was just plain hilarious and loved it, it wasn't a cheesy horror comedy movie because there was a problem and it just evolved. The comedy part came in waves and that it why it was such a success. 6) Dexter ~ This show is pretty good, I tried to watch a few episodes and just couldn't seem to swing my opinion sadly . 7) Warm Bodies ~ This movie was an OK movie, but it just seemed so unrealistic because me too, I've seen zombies decayed, mutated, etc...and it wasn't my cup of tea sadly. 8) Cabin in the Woods ~ Sadly, I had to put my movie here because although it was decent, I was very disappointed in the fact it was made into a horror comedy and not just comedy itself. Like Zombieland, it came in waves, and it was just TOO MUCH...so yea...but I loved the storyline, the betting, the choice of characters, etc... 9) Derailed ~ This is another decent movie, but it didn't really gain an audience. The plot is ok, but it seems repetitive to me. The characters were interesting to say the least. 10) Shaun of the Dead ~ This is one of the films I haven't seen and just didn't occur to me to watch it so...yea Happy Huntings!

Cal, I dunno, you put effort in the game but it seemed that Chloe carried you most of the time. I will address this really quick . I know I put effort into this game . I do have to agree that I am usually more active in games , but this time real life was crazy and I had to deal with a lot of stuff at the same time , but this didnt stop me from playing . I do feel that me and Chloe as a couple we worked really well together . If you compare both of us individually I will always say that Chloe played a better game than I did . A mean she is my love , so i am actually happy to pick her first for everything , but back to the couple , since we are a COUPLE I feel that we were really strong . I don't think she carried me into the finals . We both made it to the end because we both fought hard since day 1 . Also I was able to win a challenge for both us . To you this probably looks like nothing , but for someone that was so busy as I was in this game it means something and especially because that round me and Chloe were obvious targets, so when I won that challenge I was super happy for me and her . If you don't remember I'm talking about the posting challenge that we had at the merge . I also did a lot of talking with Dexter about strategy and game moves . I am sure that Chloe did a lot of strategy too but she was not the only one though , just saying . . I was also there making strategy and doing a lot of thinking . You are more than welcome to read me and Chloe's ( the couple one) confessionals at the end of the game , so you can see all my game plans .

4 - Dexter ... I started watching Dexter until someone spoiled season 3 or 4 for me , so i stopped watching just because I was pissed haha , but the first seasons were interesting . Not my fave show , but i guess it was interesting in some ways .
That's it . I don't know anything else about the other movies . I do have to say that I started watching Cabin the wood , but i didnt continued because I didnt like first 30 min of the movies . Hey maybe the movie turned really good after that ,who knows ?
