Oh hey. It's me. I'm back. Congratulations on making Final 3! I'm jealous cause I wanna be there. Sorry I was too much of a THREAT I know y'all were shaking in your boots about me stealing all the jury votes. But seriously, I’m not really upset with any of you, at least in terms of my elimination. I’m more frustrated with myself with how awfully I played the last couple of rounds I was in the game. ;_; But that’s another story. Let’s get into it.
Brenda. I think you're amazing! We'd been separated the entire pre-merge, but once the F13 round hit, we instantly connected like we'd been together the entire game. We had some really great conversations about both in and out of game topics, you were like a breath of fresh air. However, it seems that just everybody felt that way about you! It became pretty clear that you were a social threat, so I definitely was wary. That being said, you and Savage really did your part to keep me safe that round and help me make it through to the merge, cause suddenly, Ethan was off the chopping block because of idol paranoia, so it came down to me and Jefra. I don't think we really had an official alliance per se, I felt you were hesitant cause you had your allies on Paget and definitely had a lot more power than me, coming into the merge. Essentially, I needed you more than you needed me, all I had was RC/Jay. Then I was hoping to build on my relationship with you/Savage. But, I just felt you were both placating me and weren't being completely genuine, just very noncommittal. Still, I owed you both for keeping me safe, and I felt I did my part to repay you, when I filled you both in that Malcolm was trying to align with me/Jay/RC to blindside you, so we turned the tables and took him out of the game. Perfect! We'd both worked together, to remove a big threat who'd been targeting both of us. I want you to explain at this point in the game, what your plans for me in the game were, and how far you wanted to go with me. Did you want to go to the end with me, or were you just going to use me as a vote until you didn't need me anymore?! Then it went downhill for us, RC/I flipped to Bayamon to blindside Savage out of the game, leaving you in the minority. I get that you probably lost trust in me after that, but I think you understand why I made that move. The Final 7 round, where I left, you told me that Bob/Morgan/Sean were voting Jay, RC/Jay were voting Morgan, and it was you/me in the middle. I told you that I wanted to vote Morgan, you agreed. Then I get booted, you vote me out. Please explain, what happened and why?!
RC. You were my girl since the first day on Escambia! I know if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have made it past that hectic first round, where we blindsided Vecepia. I definitely owe it all to you. By far, I talked with you more than any other player in the game. Like you said in your opening statement, it seemed we talked for hours each day! A large difference from last season, where we literally never spoke a word to each other, and voted for each other at the judgement where you were blindsided! You were pretty much the only person who I'd be completely open with, just about everything. When I wasn't able to come on much for a few rounds, you were always someone I could rely on to fill me in, and we'd plan our path ahead. The alliance of you/me/Jay was made back on Bayamon, and is the one I intended on sticking to until the end. You were definitely the glue that held us together, cause even though Jay and I were close, we did have a few issues with each other that we never had with you, but I think you had a large influence on both of us staying on the same path. So I want you to talk a bit about how you managed to do that. I was also going to ask how did your alliance with me differ to that with Jay, you talked about how we carefully planned our path, thinking through all the options, whereas Jay was more to the point with you, but if you have anything else to add, feel free! Another thing, I did know before your opening statement that you told Jay that Malcolm was leaving, even though you never told me this in the game. This is a bit frustrating to hear, cause it was so hard for me to keep Jay in the dark for that, and I felt really uncomfortable doing it, but we apparently agreed together that there was a good chance he'd tell Morgan, which he did! If Malcolm played his idol, everything would be ruined. I dunno, that just seemed kind of pointless, cause I would've been fine with telling Jay, if you told me that you believe that's a better option for our alliance, so I'm curious if there was anything else you kept from me.
Sean. I feel like I had a much closer connection with Brenda/RC than I ever did with you, so it's tough for me to consider voting for you at this point. It's interesting how you say that you were pushing for me to be eliminated at F13 instead of Jefra, for a number of reasons. Firstly, in your opening statement you said you told everyone that you knew I was a "crazy bitch" and that's why I should leave. I don't get how you came to this conclusion when we'd been on separate tribes until that point, and hadn't exchanged more than a couple of sentences with each other. You treated me like shit for about a week, just cause I boot list voted for you. I heard from multiple people that you were coming after me, so essentially, you're a total hypocrite. Your obsessive hatred of me was beyond annoying, literally everybody told me you were stupidly targeting me, when nobody else even had me on their radar at that point. So you just seemed really vindictive against me, it was such a turn off. Then you finally decide to talk to me once you realise you're in a bad spot when Brian leaves and we both vote in the minority for Courtney, so want to make a "secret alliance" with me, cause nobody would suspect it. You got pissed when I didn't fill you in that Malcolm was leaving, when you obviously would've just told Morgan, who'd tell Malcolm. I wanna know as well, if you wanting to go to the end with me and RC was genuine. If you were really with me and not Morgan, then why not just vote her out with me/RC?! Jay says he was willing to go along with that too and boot Morgan, but only folded when he realised it was me or him, which I understand. Honestly, my plan at F6 was to flush Brenda's idol and blindside you 3-2-1, so I can't fault you for turning on me. But, your opening statement is just really underwhelming to me, cause you're pretty much outlining that every plan you had in mind, you weren't able to execute, cause you weren't able to influence your allies to vote your way. I don't really see how that should be awarded, but feel free to try and convince me otherwise.
Great job again, Brenda, RC and Sean! No matter who wins, you should all be proud. I hope everyone has a great Christmas!
