Jury Speech

TBD

Since apparently it is precedent to give some sort of speech, there is really only one thing I have to say:

I don't like games of chance. I am a poker player, not a slot machine player. And if I had known that my game would come down to Bobby Jon being able to randomly type words into a password box and guess the word correctly, I never would have invested any effort into this game at all. I "lost" because
Bobby Jon had good luck. Not because I played a bad game or he played a good game.

I hate HIIs on the show Survivor. I'm of the camp that thinks that they are a vehicle for production to use to keep the favorites in the game and make an exciting TV show for casual fans. I think they are complete bullshit in a game like this. The only reason I was trying for one before the merge was to make sure that someone else didn't get it and I would know for sure who had it. They are pointless and pretty much ruin the game. And had I known it was going to end this way, I wouldn't have put in half the effort I did. And I've said multiple times that if you are going to get voted off, all it does is buy you one episode if you have to use it. But apparently that's not true for Bobby Jon because he randomly typed words and guessed them correctly twice, when he was actually being voted off, and now he's in the finals.

So with that being said.....

Bobby Jon, do you think that you "deserve" to be sitting in the Final 3, considering you really didn't get there based on your game moves, but because you were able to guess words correctly? If the passwords were not so easy that they could be guessed without any clues, you would have been voted out by the majority on two different occasions. Do you in your heart believe that you should be sitting where you are right now?



Kim, I do have a question for you also. At what point to you decide to join up with Bobby Jon and Ibe after I left? Was that your plan all along? If so, why did you vote Bobby Jon out at my boot? And if it wasn't your plan, what made you change your mind?




Lisa, I'm going to be honest here... I can't think of one thing to ask you. That kind of sums up your game, no?




Tom, how do you feel about you sitting in that chair, and me sitting in the jury house and do you think that you got to that chair all on your own?

Do you think that considering you HAD to find an idol at both F7 and F5 in order to stay in the game, that you would make a deserving winner?

My Tom question is dumb. I don't expect him to make the F3, so if he does I will think of a real one for him.

First of all, I want to say congratulations to the three of you. Now for the questions.

Bobby Jon - I had a question all prepared for you regarding randomly guessing words to type into a box that saved your game versus your actual gameplay. But I decided to scratch that. It's a dead horse. There are some blaring inaccuracies on the state of events you laid out in your jury speech I would like to address. First of all, are you aware that Kim's narrative is way more accurate than your narrative? You did not put together a secret group to vote Mia out. That decision was actually made prior to you even forming that group and you were the one being used for votes. However, there was a point where the decision flipped to vote you out instead of Mia. And Kim was the one that convinced us that voting Mia out was the right thing to do, which it was. At that point, you did not have an idol, so KIM is actually the one who saved YOU. And as for your story about how you randomly typing words to find idols and save yourself also saved Kim.... Kim was not the next one to go. By a long shot. All your idol did was change who she was sitting with in the F3. So now hearing this, because you have laid this out as one of your "big moves" in the game, which it actually wasn't, and I can assure you that you had no hand in "saving" Kim at any point after the merge and prior to my departure, do you have any other "big moves" that you would like to lay claim to besides the fact that you wonky voted for Jolanda to frame Chris?

Kim - I wish you would have trusted me. I was serious. But in the end it didn't really matter all that much. Just one question. At what point to you decide to join up with Bobby Jon and Ibe after I left? Was that your plan all along? If so, why did you vote Bobby Jon out at my boot? And if it wasn't your plan, what made you change your mind?

Lisa - You mentioned that you tried to be part of the majority alliance on original Guatuso. Which alliance was that? I know of a few alliances, but you were not actually in any of the ones I know about.
