My vote is not decided at all, I am curious to see Jacks statement, I think Aaron did play a phenomenal game and I always said ask John, nick, or Tommy, that if Aaron made it to the end he would win, that doesn’t mean I’m voting for him but he’s played a strong game even without being able to win a challenge. Kara also played a great game and if Jessica were here I would tell you to ask her we both said the first or second day that Kara was one to watch we aligned with her but knew at some point she had to go or we had no chance. So again jacks statement is important and the way they answer these questions will also weigh heavy. No one has won it yet.

Now, even if someone treated you poorly, or they lied more than they should have in your opinion, or might have backstabbed you or an ally unfairly, etc. Whatever it is, you should still look at this from a gameplay point of view only and remove any emotion from this. At least that's my POV, and I suppose it's a minority opinion here which is fine, I can't change what you lot think. I just respect the game, that's all.

Also, if y'all are apologizing for confessionals... that's nothing compared to a lot of shit I've said about pretty much the entire cast at different points in the game lmfao. Just remember, everything was in the moment :crine: :crine:
Haha I only apologized because I gave him hell for something he didn’t do! Don’t worry I made up for it in posts about you 😂😂
You'll have to let me know which confessional it starts in so I can get hyped up reading what shit you said about me :rofl: :rofl:
I would imagine it starts after my blindside

Killer game is the antithesis of how I'd describe Jack actually. I know what kind of game he played, but he really has to kill it with his opening statement or else it won't get recognized. The hiding won't affect my vote personally.
I prob went too far with the suplitatives. You should hand those out to everyone Dean. The hiding doesnt bother you? As a person that was on and invested 22 hours a day 7 days a week you respect him cowtailing when he made people upset?
Again, you're not saying the right words. I said it doesn't bother me; that doesn't translate to I respect him for it. It's neutral in my opinion and a non-factor. Also he wasn't the only one who did it (he did it the most though yes).
You don't respect him for it, but it doesnt bother you? So you dont respect a dad that say is socially and emotionally distant to his kids, but you dont factor that in to his Father of the Year voting?

That's why I'm eager to see Jack's statement. They've all played quite a game thus far in their own ways. Then we can really pick apart their statements and ask them stuff to help our votes. Nick said that Aaron had 4 votes locked in jury at his TC, but I don't think any of us 8 jurors have votes locked in yet.

No one bought that. You all are too independent thinkers and strong players to give Aaron your vote just because you were aligned with him. He may win yet, but we knew Nick was wrong in saying it was in the bag. At that point I think everyone saw Nick as the bigger threat and MUCH bigger challenge threat which is huge in the end.

Didn't realize we were already doing Player of the Season, thought we were voting for a winner who played the best. This is something nuanced, and not black and white how you're attempting to paint it as.

It was damm funny seeing Nick try to downplay his comp wins at TC. He definitely was a scary strong challenge winner and he might've got to F3 if they didn't go for him then.

I do not mean for it to come off that way. Its just a huge deciding factor for me I guess, not you. How is not being online nuanced? So it is strategic? which clearly it is, just a total cop-out in my eyes.

Nah and that's totally fine, it can matter a lot to you with your vote in the end. It can be strategic, or just simply not being online. Even back on Miombo he wasn't always very active compared to everyone else.

I hope all of you are having a great Friday! I’m so excited for the weekend!! It’s probably a good thing we can’t private chat anymore because I plan on being very intoxicated tomorrow night 😂😂

@Carl did you have me as your bounty? Because you IM'd me saying "I know you have a bounty" and there's no way you should have known that unless you had me as a bounty, or if someone else pulled a Nick and told you. But then you likely would have said who it was if it was the latter, soooo..... :curious:
Yah I had you lmao. I knew it wasn't going to be in my best interest to go for you within those three tribals so I told you to see if you would give me any info/build more trust/if you did go via blindside, I would still be able to get the bounty. Once I saw your face as my bounty, I knew I wasn't going to be able to cash in on it during that time so I did what I could with the info lmao

Also I've missed so much since last night lol but are we telling each other what questions we are asking the F3 before we ask so we don't step on each others toes or no? Cause all three of the remaining players were more UTR players to starts off and I am curious to know what additional steps they took to push past that, where did they take a leading charge in the game, what makes them not UTR, etc. but I think we all have similar questions. I obviously know the most about Aaron's game but I am curious to know what each of them have to say. As you guys have said, I don't think any of us have our votes locked in yet. I could see myself voting for literally any one of them depending on how FTC goes

Girl same. I've said this before but Halloween is my actual favorite and I will be drunk all day tomorrow. I'm gonna need to get my questions for the F3 in early otherwise it will be a drunken incoherent mess lmfao

It makes me wonder if Aaron had Alison as a bounty. Remember how hard he was trying to get us to go for Alison again instead of John?

My questions will all involve testing them. If someone tells me they're playing an honest game, then my question will be a trick question, to see if they're being honest with me. If someone tells me they were playing a more in-charge game, I want them to tell me which moves they take credit for that others may claim. Or, I'll just ask personal questions that only pertain to me.

All this talk about Aaron getting votes on lock. Not mine. He describes himself in his opening statement as a totally different person than the one I talked to. Carl trusted him to be in what was going to rock a majority alliance until Tommy, and particularly Nick, fucked that whole thing up. So in the end, Aaron used Carl to get here and rode on his coattails until he had Tommy/Nick to flip the numbers. That was a long ass time considering Aaron was brought on board right after the split. So, good game? Well, considering he is here, I suppose it was. But nothing to impressive about it.

Halloween is definitely my favorite holiday. I’ve been sad about it because I always take this week off and go to a bunch of escape rooms, amusement parks, etc.
