Also, you pretty much told me that you were going to use the idol to flop and get Shambo off at 6. This isn't news to me lol. You just didn't, which while it was not completely in your control, is still not a great thing. And I don't consider the fact that I'm not going to choose between you two if I came in 3rd to be a copout. I wasn't going to win an endurance challenge, particularly if I didn't need to. You just said you would have taken me and Brandon has told me privately that while he would be mad at me for picking a Final 2, he would have taken me as well. So again, there's no reason to answer that question because it would not have happened. I'm just being honest. :P

I’m glad you might vote for me to win, Todd. I agree that even though we weren’t as tight of an alliance as you were with JP and Brad, we had some sort of friendship and comradery that I don’t really know how to describe, but it was there.
Q1: You shouldn’t vote for me to win because JP and Brad were closer to you throughout the game. They talked major strategy with you while I did not really do that with you. In spite of any angry feelings you have towards JP and Brad at the moment, I’m sure that they are your friends and if you want someone who you’ve played the game with more to win, then you probably shouldn’t vote for me.
Q2: You should vote for Brad to win because he has never really been in danger of being voted off. He really did try and play the game so that he was always in the majority and safe. I commend him for that, although he really hasn’t had to feel the struggle that maybe JP and I have felt trying to stay in the game.
You should vote for JP to win because he definitely has been one of the bigger players in the game. I don’t know how people are going to feel if he doesn’t win the game because it seems like he has the most support from FGC people, so you wouldn’t want to break their little hearts, would you? :-P
Q3: If it had been Final 2 and I had gotten voted off in 3rd place, I would probably vote for Brad to win. I think both players have played the game and were in power positions for the majority, so it all comes down to attitude for me. JP was a brash individual who I think loved the limelight and wanted to be the center of attention… it comes off as desperate to me and poor gameplay just because the target is that much bigger. Brad was way more amicable about his position in the game so I think even if things didn’t go his way, he could talk himself out of it and find another plan. JP was one wa or the highway without much breathing room.

I’m not expecting your vote at all, but I had to comment on what you said. I don’t know if you just didn’t realize I was in the Final 3 with JP and Brad or not, but from what I read, it seems like you’re implying that I’m someone who “sports the stereotypical gay theme” around me. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is what I got from it since you didn’t even acknowledge my name. If this is the case, I don’t know where you’re getting the justification for it because we had not even had contact in the slightest this entire time. And I know for a fact that I may be gay, but I’m not like that either. I don’t parade myself around making sure everyone knows I’m gay.
I just wanted to defend myself from a potential accusation. Sorry if all this seems random.

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.

Shawna, I’m glad you see that I did try and keep all my options open and that I was trying very hard to make it to the end despite any situation… it just turned out that the situation that won out was this Final 3.
I didn’t turn on my tribe sooner because I had no real problem with them in the tribal stage of the game or at the beginning of the merge. I was very much pro-Jaburu at our first merged Tribal Council, especially since you guys were targeting Ami, who I was close to. And then the next TC, I think a lot of Jaburu was concentrating on the numbers advantage so that we had that cushion. Once that TC was over, I probably was most ready to plant the seed and try to start wheelin’ and dealin’. I didn’t want to do this alone either; I asked Shambo what she thought about voting out a Jaburu soon and she didn’t think it was a good idea. I would have just done it myself without telling anybody, but I think it would have done me more harm than good. I would have been the only one to turn on my tribe, and since I hadn’t talked to a lot of Tambaqui anyway, I would be worried that I would just be voted out in the next TC since Jaburu would obviously be targeting me and maybe the Tambaqui members would take that opportunity to vote me out.
I knew the numbers were there to get JP out many times in the merge, but I didn’t feel fully comfortable doing it until the Final 7, and lo and behold, he wins immunity saving himself. It didn’t end up working out because of this, and because of the fact that there wasn’t enough communication and unity with the Tambaqui tribe. I wish the cast in general would have been more active so that I could really work with the options, but it all came down to a) I didn’t trust just PMing someone and expecting them to do what I suggested and me looking like a fool after that, and b) I would hear people had their mind set already when I would come online and try to start throwing names out, and their minds being set was contrary to what I had in mind.
I think in spite of me not turning on my tribe sooner, I still deem it deserving of the win. It shows that I was thinking and that I was genuine when I would speak to the Tambaqui members. What they did with that generosity was up to them (them targeting Shambo at F7 was a dealbreaker for me, to be honest). I tried my best to run numbers through my head all the time and unfortunately for the problems I specified above, it just was not working out. The intention was there for sure, but that intention, even from the Tambaqui side, wasn’t shared.

Shambo, you look so good with that lei on! It really distracts from the mucus. <3
Ami should vote for me because I feel like we bonded a lot. She was one out of a few people that I actually felt we connected on more than a game level. Everything was genuine and flowed easily. I also would have liked to see her possibly get to the end with me, but I don’t think the other two had those same intentions.
Christy should vote for me because while I ultimately voted for him to go, I still was telling people and pushing for Ryan to go. Brad and JP (especially) were trying to get people out based on previous experiences or whatever, but I wanted this game to be right. They targeted her over a person who did nothing and was on the verge of already getting evacuated at the time. I don’t think that’s something admirable at all, and unfortunately you were the victim of this.
Ryan isn’t going to vote for me anyway, so I’m going to save myself the keystrokes.
Shawna should vote for me because, as she pointed out in her question, I was trying to get people to switch. When I was thinking about who I wanted to switch on Jaburu with, it would have been her mostly. Since I knew her (and in a good way), I was always interested in having her get a lot further than she did. JP with the help of Brad was always going for these votes based on what happened in other games and the history, which is directly correlated with why she got voted out.
Heidi and Jenna I think should vote for me for the same reason and that’s because I was never playing with them. The intentions to try and vote out JP and get them a little bit further was real, which I can’t say the same for whatever JP was selling. I hope they know that all this loyalty to the Final 3 stuff JP and Brad are saying means that to them they were always going to be voted out in the place they were voted out.
Shambo should vote for me because I always had her back while the other two didn’t. When people were trying to vote her out and Final 7, I was one of the only two people to try and save her from getting voted out. When she was ultimately voted out, I was the one person who stood by her side while everyone else voted her out. We really did bond and I think my actions show that I was always there with her.
Todd should vote for me because he got shafted by two people he thought he had a genuine trust with. JP would always say that he had you wrapped around his finger, like a little puppet. Since they were so loyal about the F3, they were also not trying to take you specifically to the F3. They both promised him things and they both broke them. He stood in their corner and they fucked him over pretty much.
