I never understood why he took everything Angelina and Alison said about him and channeled it all to Try to blindside me not once but twice when I thought we had a good relationship. I’ll definitely be asking him his thought process on that one because I was surprised he didn’t fight to push the target off of me when I had done the same for him.

I will also chuckle a little bit of Kara leaves next, and he becomes the last potato tribe member standing. This game would be very different had we kept Christian.....same goes for if Missy voted out Dan or if Jessica played her idol. The butterfly effect is real.
Jack seemed better the next day, but yeah he was shattered after that vote and Alison was telling him stuff. Jack is a sensitive fella, but he also told me several times after the merge how amazing and friendly you Poroto people were to him, and how kind and happy you made him feel. So, even though he betrayed you, I guess he never expected to get called out like that. Maybe it also had to do with his game, though I feel he's more of an emotional player than an actual game player.

Oh man there are so many instances of the butterfly effect for this season, and my inner alternate-history fan is going nuts over the possibilities of what could have been.
Of course I called him out. I voted out a OG nyiri to keep him and then he repayed me but flipping on us! I think the fact that we took him in and treated him so well is the reason why him flipping was so shocking to me and also the reason why I called his ass out.
I know that after that night you first yelled at him, he was fine again, like Kara calling him out at TC's after that first night didn't phaze him emotionally (at least that's the vibe I got when I spoke with him after TCs) but yeah, I can see why he'd be the one that you'd want to call out immediately, especially since you had to vote out Christian instead of him. You weren't pleased with him, Kara isn't either, and Angelina originally told me the plan was supposed to be Dan and then Jack for personal reasons for their side.

At first even after the merge, I didn't believe that you as a group willingly saved Jack over Christian, since I heard from Carl that Christian was sort of in that alliance you guys had going on, and I imagined Jack not being voted out had to do with an idol or something, or something diabolical against Christian that was unlikely. Plus, Jack was unlike the type to sway votes himself. But then there was that whole "her" language gender issue (mdr à toi Christian :rofl: ), and I believed John and Jack when they told me about that because it was referenced in that one confessional title. Not to mention that because John told me he wasn't a huge fan of Christian's, while you said you enjoyed Christian, that made me think something was up, but I couldn't figure it out on the first couple of days after merge.

This gameplay is all new to me and honestly at that point I was still playing an emotional game like this is my friend I don’t want to get rid of him instead of playing what was best for my game.

Assuming we get jury questions to ask the F3, I got quite some colourful questions for all 4 remaining still. I can't wait for that.

I wonder if my fuckboy Aaron will manage to make it through tonight or not. I think all of us thought he'd be sent here either yesterday or tonight. He's the biggest threat left, so if he manages to make it (especially if he doesn't win immunity) then that'll be most impressive and I await to hear how it happened.

I think if he doesn’t win immunity he will be here. Way too big of a threat to keep around

And he doesn't have a good track record with challenges lmfao so I'll be floored if he makes it

I could be wrong. But if any of them think it’s a good idea to take him to The end. They’re dumb lol he will definitely beat them in long run.

I think Aaron has done pretty good for himself. He really transformed on Nyiri 2.0, because before on Miombo I didn't really think he was even a good strategist lol and he couldn't bring much to the table. Later on he became my second in command for most operations that we took, and he had a few good ideas of his own. I don't think he would be a terrible winner either. I think he might have a better strategic game than social game though, based on what I've heard on how he's treated some of you guys. Everyone is free to vote how they want, but for me personally when I look to vote, strategy beats social game always, unless an F3 were all horrible strategists, then I'd look at stuff like social game. Not saying this group consists of bad strategists though. Still, this F4 better prepare damm good F3 speeches to us, because there are a lot of factors to choose from IMO.

Is that like a type of tribute episode? Or a challenge about voted-off castaways? Either way I'm not too sure myself.

That'd be cool if something like that happened here though.

In the show its where to walk around before the final challenge and look at like the torches of the people who got voted off and talk about them for a little bit. It's usually like 5-10 minutes in the finale episode

I wanted him gone next on Nyiri 2.0. I wasn’t surprised at all I was idol’d out but I would’ve been shocked if you guys voted me out over Aaron which looks like would’ve happened.

I think Tommy has played the best social and strategic game but that’s just me. I feel like Aaron was on the outs on many of the votes including on Mirombo.

So many typos, stupid phone

Anyways, I think Aaron needs to go tonight and I have no faith in him winning immunity lmao. I'm likely biased in my liking of Aaron for the win which is fine but I do think he has played a solid game. That said, I think all of them have. People call Jack a goat but the fact of the matter is that he is at the end and has been involved in several votes. His goat status kinda started when you guys called him out after he flipped. That said, I do think the others are still playing a better game and will likely win over him.

I don't know who I would vote for in Tommy or Kara

If they do this on Stranded, I'll either be bored or offended if they don't try to roast me or reference me and my "adult" humour.

How'd you figure he'd be on the out on many votes when most of them pre-merge were unanimous or near unanimous?
