Psychological Control

The last day of life in the camp, because Rhett and I both fell silent, there was no focus of shooting and the focus passed quickly.After Rhett and I watched the sky get dark, we returned to the shooting site of the tribal meeting with the draft we had already prepared in our hearts.

Jeff's opening remarks were nothing special, and then it was time for our personal presentations.Reed was the first to start. Like a report, he first stated every important action strategy in the game, and then explained the reasons for his doing so.Finally, I will conclude with the reasons for participating.

"Because my friends and colleagues wanted me to take a good vacation from work and exercise my social skills by the way, Suoti helped me sign up for survivors. And I also handed them the answer sheet that I walked to the end. It can be said that I Along the way, I have no regrets. Thank you for your support." Reid concluded with this sentence.

After the jury applauded politely, Jeff took over the chair again and said: "Very good. Brian, it's your turn. When both of them have finished their speeches, the jury members will step forward one by one and discuss what you have thought. Ask the question. And Rhett, Brian, you must answer on the spot."

I stood up at his gesture and looked at each member of the jury.One of the arts of language that Neil Caffery gave me is to make eye contact when trying to persuade someone.Eye contact without evasion can not only enhance the persuasiveness of your own words, but also make the audience listen more attentively.

Looking at the faces one by one, I saw the burning eyes of Dillon who was sitting at the back.Unconsciously, I felt a more sincere smile on my face.Looking away, I secretly made up my mind.

"Everyone knows that after entering the merger stage, the Alliance of Beautiful Tribes I belong to fell into a disadvantaged position because of the combination of the Wisdom Tribe and the Power Tribe." I finally spoke with a slight smile. "That's why I was on the defensive early in the merger phase."

Unlike Rhett who regarded the last speech as a homework report, I regarded these 2 minutes as the most important canvassing time.It can also be said to be flattering time.

Past contestants have come to this section either to mention how strong they are in the competition, or to talk about how they deserve the $100 million.But in fact, that was also a means of canvassing votes that was not as clever as Rhett's homework report.

You must know that the members of the jury were all your opponents before.For the opponents you have defeated, if you mention in front of them how you are better than them, isn't it just a joke?Want to really pull tickets in this case.It is necessary to promote yourself while holding them up without any trace.

"Because of Mario and Austin's physical strength and leadership ability. They are the first people in our tribe to be targeted." As I spoke, I looked at Mario and Austin. side. "Presumably I was not a favorite to win the championship in the eyes of most people present, right?"

"Our tribe" is an important point in this sentence, which can strengthen Mario and Austin's subconscious support for me.Because after all, humans have a team complex.And at the beginning of the game, we were a team that really faced two enemies.

The latter rhetorical question is also the focus of my speech that I thought of before.Show the enemy weak.

Look, it's not that I'm too powerful, it's just that you underestimate the enemy.So you were defeated by an opponent who underestimated you at the beginning, so it is no wonder that the opponent is not?What you should do is not to continue to hate me, but to reflect on your carelessness.Regret, a feeling of self-blame, can to a certain extent alleviate the hostility towards me caused by the jury members because of the opponent's mentality.

"The middle-of-the-road strategy in the early stage was very useful. It was wise to protect myself, so I had more time to prepare for the counterattack. So after they were eliminated and I became the first target of everyone, I worked out a comprehensive counterattack plan. "

"And the result is known to everyone. Relying on the alliance with Reid, I assassinated Casey as a counterattack." Speaking of this, I didn't mean to avoid Casey's scrutiny.Instead, he continued generously: "The reason is the same as Rhett said just now, because she is too powerful. We have to combine and eliminate her before the whole situation is completely under her control."

I raised a restrained smile at Casey, and I said what seemed to be flattering with another feeling. "Casey's ability to analyze the situation reveals her shrewdness as a lawyer. Therefore, she was the opponent I was most wary of at the time." The sarcasm and indirect praise made Casey's complexion improve a lot .

For a woman with such a strong personality like Casey, pretending to be pitiful and blindly explaining will not get her understanding and sympathy.The only way to say it openly is, yes, I beat you.And be proud to win because you are a worthy opponent.Only in this way can she get her approval.

"Sure enough, Casey's departure also caused the Wisdom Tribe and Power Tribe Alliance to collapse completely." I continued, "The remaining Anna and my Beauty Tribe accepted the remaining two of the Wisdom Tribe, Rhett and Selena. , we gained the upper hand again against the Power Horde..."

I noticed that Anna's complexion was still not very good, maybe her vote was much harder to get than Kathy's.But in the comparison with Rhett, I think she still has a good chance of voting for me.After all, before the conflicts in the later stage of the merger, we got along quite happily.

As I compiled every comforting word that I had already drafted into the summary of the competition, I began to think about the questions that the jury members might ask later.

...

"It was Dillon at the end. I think the alliance between me and him really started after that trip to the resort. Everyone knows about the shark hunting incident, but in fact it was just the stage when we just got to know each other. According to the agreement, we The initial decision was to enter the top three together. But I will not deceive everyone, I have already decided to eliminate Dillon after entering the top three."

"Everyone knows that he has a greater advantage than me when facing the jury. If Dillon and I enter the final two, the probability of me getting the majority of votes is much lower than 30.00%. So in the final Before the individual immunity match, we agreed to do our best."

While I was saying this, my eyes kept meeting Dillon's.Originally, I just wanted to retell the manuscript word by word, but in the process of staring into his eyes and talking, I suddenly felt that the mask-like smile on my face was gone.Just staring quietly.

I suddenly understood.I understand that for him, what is it that really catches his attention in me.

It's not the look I'm used to trying to attract attention and get people to like.It's not that I'm as smooth and eloquent as I am in dealing with people.Not to mention that I deliberately seduced him after I decided to make myself like him.It's the kind of strength that can really compete with him.Only me like this won't make him feel bored, right?

"In the end I won. As Dillon was the last person eliminated, I am proud of my victory in this set. I also think that I should pay more for my efforts and finally get the prizes I deserve. I hope everyone can be in the end Vote for me, thank you."

After the conclusion, I sat back next to Rhett.The position where the two of us were sitting at this time was different from the place where the tribe eliminated one person in the past. We were in the middle of the entire venue, and the bonfire with the torch was burning behind us.A few meters away from each other, are the members of the jury.

I understand that the setting of the program group is also to increase the tension and devotion of the contestants in the competition.This will make the filmed program more colorful.

"Okay, then it's time for questions. Everyone has a question, does anyone want to be the first to ask?" Jeff said again after I sat down.

"Come on, I have a question for Rhett and Brian to answer." Mario was the first to stand up with his hands up.

He came within two meters of us, in the open space between the jury and us.Mario looked at me and said, "Brian, Rhett. The game between the two of you has been explained very clearly in the speech just now, so I won't ask any more. But I want to know, what happened to you outside the game? For what reason is it worth the 100 million bonus?"

"Because I am an orphan, and I need a sufficient amount of money to support my life and study." On this issue, I did not evade but said very directly. "Although because of my part-time job as a model and the work in a commercial dance troupe two years ago, I have saved enough savings for one or two years of tuition and living expenses. But the life without a sense of security and the possibility of living on the streets at any time is not what I want. "

"I didn't go to any public school, but I was admitted to Stanford by myself." Seeing everyone's surprised expressions at the news, I smiled.

Then I continued in a flat tone: "Now I am a psychology student at Stanford University. But three years ago, I was locked in a remote mental sanatorium in Miami. Because when I was a child, I witnessed my mother Being killed, it caused me a very serious mental illness."

I didn't disclose what my psychological problem was, but it was better to let people think that it was just post-traumatic disorder than high-risk antisocial personality disorder.Although on the medical record I am almost recovered.

"So I think at least this 100 million dollars can be a little compensation from God for my life. I have come here when no one can help me. I hope to get everyone's support and go further and more steadily. Thanks."

Under everyone's shocking eyes, I put a pitiful smile on my face and sat back again.It can be clearly seen that Anna's expression has softened. This kind of touching story is always the most murderous for women.Even a woman like Casey, who can be called strong and cold-blooded, has a moving expression on her face.Selena's eyes were even redder.

In fact, my almost completely oppressive story effect brought an embarrassing situation to Reid who had to answer next.But I can't control that much anymore. Asking questions is the most important opportunity to deepen everyone's influence.I can't give up the advantages I can get in every answer to the question.

What's more, these are all facts, I just won't be like some "stubborn" poor children who are as stubborn as a dead duck.No money is no money, using this kind of sympathy is my strategy.What is there to be ashamed of?The mentality of anti-social personality is like this, as long as it can bring benefits to oneself, it doesn't matter even if it is oneself who is being used.

Reid's answer was a bit too stereotyped, he obviously didn't like to put himself in a weak position to gain sympathy.There may be many unsatisfactory things in his life, but Rhett is not a person like me who can easily talk about his life.

...

Austin and Selena, after a few not tricky questions.Finally it was Casey's turn to stand up.What she asked was the point we've been trying to cover up.

"Although Brian and Rhett, you all said that you decided to form an alliance at the beginning because the two interests were in the same direction. But I want to ask Rhett, how can you ensure that Brian is a credible person and still be so How could you easily hand over your only hole card to him? And Brian, how did you know that Rhett got the hidden immunity statue?"

Reid glanced at me first, and with the encouragement in my eyes, he opened his mouth and said the words he had made up in advance, "To be honest, I was actually passive in the beginning of my alliance with Brian. Brian speculated that I Got the Hidden Immunity Idol and bluffed it in the dialogue. It was my mistake."

"He told me that if I don't form an alliance with him, he will tell the public that I have a hidden statue in my hand. And I don't want to make myself a target, so I promised him. I will own The hole card was brought out to allow our new alliance to gain an advantage in one fell swoop. Although it was not used by me, it was not wasted. Instead, it really became the key to turning the situation around."

It was almost a chorus. After Rhett finished answering, I said immediately: "And I made this move at a critical moment, and I thought of this move. At that time, except for Rhett and Jane, originally going to Those who have been to Exile Island have already been eliminated. So I just bet a [-]/[-] probability, and then I won the bet."

Kathy looked at me for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.But some of the jury members behind her appeared with a sudden realization.

After a few more innocuous questions, the last remaining jury member who didn't ask a question was Dillon.When he was eliminated, the hug between the two of us was carried out under everyone's attention.It can also be said that his ticket is already equivalent to mine in the eyes of everyone.

Everyone watched as Dillon stood up and walked in front of me.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dillon asked a question that made everyone laugh and cry.

"Bryan, I have only one question. In this game, do you think of me only as an alliance and mutual use. And after the game, will you continue to keep in touch with me?" It's hardly a question that someone as calm and introverted as he would ask.But I laughed out loud because of his question.

At least I'm not hot, is it?

"Of course. If you want, I can give you my contact information right now." I smiled and narrowed my eyes like a fox who stole a farm chicken, "If you want to continue to develop a relationship with me, It’s even better if it’s the same as I thought.”

While talking, I took out the one-month-old fountain pen from my carry-on luggage, which was about to run out of ink.Walking in front of him, she took his dry and rough palm, and wrote a string of numbers on his palm.

"Wait a minute," Jeff also came out with a smile to continue the presidency in the boisterous and jubilant atmosphere at the scene. "Although at this serious stage of the show, this is the first time that the question of asking for a phone has arisen. But Dillon, you haven't asked any questions about Red."

"Oh. How are you?" Howard you?Dillon turned to Rhett and asked.

"...fine...thankyou?..." Reid replied hesitantly with a look of bewilderment.The dignified atmosphere in the tribal meeting was finally swept away.Perhaps this period of questioning by jury members will also become a famous scene in the history of survivors.

All in all, a month-long Survivor match is finally over.The feeling of being able to return to the metropolis soon is still very good.
