J.P.'s Response to Shambo

Hey Shamtastic.  I'd post a picture but apparently people are OFFENDED that I'm trying to make this thread hot, so you don't get one.  SORRY GURL, you shoulda asked earlier.
Congrats final three on outwitting, outlasting, and outgaying the competition. For my question I would like each of you to make a list of all the jurors and explain the reasons why each of them should personally cast their vote for you. Hopefully this will be a very enl!ghten!ng experience for all.
K here we go...

I think Ami should vote for me because she almost screwed me over for a second time in a row by self-voting herself out of the game when I was aligned with her... And she did both times at the final 11.  The first time I ultimately ended up in the minority because of it where I was forced to play this time and she almost did it again and ruined everything.  If it wasn't for my HII or the fact that I was close to Ryan, I'm sure the result would have been the same.  So Ami owes me for almost ruining my life for practically one year of my gaming history.

I think Christy should vote for me because I think we played pretty similarly in terms of had her alliance gotten the majority, she would have probably been in my position of being the big threat who everyone is trying to vote out.  We sort of saw her as the leader of her tribe, just like all the Tambaqui saw me as the leader of my tribe, so I think she may respect the fact that I didn't try to hide my gameplay and was a target at numerous Tribal Councils but still managed to get to this point.  Plus like she said she found me to be the biggest threat on my tribe so I hope that translates into a vote.

I think Ryan should vote for me simply because we were really close throughout the entirety of the game despite being on two different tribes.  He knew my ideal final 5 was an all male rep final 5 (myself, Todd, Brad, Brandon and Ryan) which basically came to fruition and it sucked that I never got a chance to prove my loyalty to him.  I know I had to lie to him at one point in order to get the numbers advantage but I think he knows I never had any intentions of letting him leave until he was the last of the Tambaquis so hopefully he'll throw a vote my way knowing how hard I've worked these last few seasons (since he knows from experience how much it sucks to be so close, yet so far).

I think Shawna should vote for me because, like Christy, she attempted to get me voted out and instead she got voted out in the process.  She said it herself that the Tambaqui members left in the order I wanted them too (which is partially true) so I think that shows I held some strategic control despite the fact she thinks I had no social game.  I think if she really was casting her vote unbiased, then she would vote for me because I think I overcame the most out of my final three competitors.

Heidi should vote for me because I really wanted to keep her around in the game.  We had some good game conversations where I was completely honest with her the whole time and really wanted to work with her.  Despite the fact I ultimately decided to vote her out, I think she knows I had to make the move that was best for me overall and had situations been different we could have been good allies.  I think she should vote for me because I was honest and upfront but at the same time I still played the game and got to know her despite tribal lines.

I think Jenna should vote for me for similar reasons as Heidi- the  longer the game went on the more we got to talk.  Her last week in the game I seriously wanted her to stay in the game and even voted within the first 5 minutes Tribal Council was posted for Shambo.  I really tried to keep Jenna in this game and I think I may have tried communicating with her moreso than Brad or Brandon did, so I think those two factors are reasons why Jenna should personally vote for me to win because I tried my hardest to help her out in the game.

Shamtastic, you should vote for me because I think your last night in the game after we talked that we came to some good conclusions about the way the game ended up for both of us.  We were both ultimately in the same position and were playing pretty similarly- although I think socially I had a few more connections than Sham did.  But we were both seen as the two challenge threats because everyone else was busy throwing things or not trying, and we were both in a position to get screwed over by Brad (who ended up picking me over Shambo).  I think Shambo should vote for me because I didn't just vote with her to get her jury vote and I was as honest as I could possibly be with her personally (even though I was after her for weeks LoL).  I just think we had a lot in common and I think out of the three of us up here, we played the game most similarly and maybe she'll respect that fact and throw a vote my way.

Finally I think Todd should vote for me because despite the fact I voted him out, my intentions were to get him to the final three.  It was only though some bad luck that follows me around like usual that Todd didn't get to the finals and that's really craptastic.  I don't expect his vote but overall I think of the final three I was the only one that really wanted him there whereas Brad couldn't wait to get rid of him and Brandon just didn't want to go himself, so I think the fact that we were so close throughout the game and we got really close to the end together should give Todd reason to give me his vote.
