Day 30 - Final Tribal Council

Jeff, can you edit the name of the thread? :P

PLEASE!

[quote="Mia"First off- Booby Jaundice. I'm definitely not voting for you, so you can just pretend like I'm not even addressing you tonight.

Finally, I want you all to answer this: Rank the gameplay of all 9 of us sitting on the jury, from worst to best. After that, I want you to tell us which vote-off changed the course of your game and solidified why you're sitting up there tonight.[/quote]
Which is it, Mia? Should I pretend like you're not addressing me or do you want me to answer your question?

OMG Mia. I only read the first paragraph so far.

Let me try that again.

Go ahead and answer it. At this point I'm just interested in seeing what you have to say, but you're not getting my vote.

That's fine, I wasn't expecting your vote.

Best gameplay
Tom
Chad
Ami
Ibrehem
Jolanda
Mia
Gregg
Chris
Caryn
Worst gameplay

Chad's vote off changed the course of the game for me. It allowed Ibrehem and I to convince Kim to join our side.

Kim- I'd like to vote for you, but again, I just can't bring myself to do it until you make me a believer. I want you to tell me what the fuck you did in this game prior to my boot. And make me believe it, because as far as I can tell, you floated along in NuChorotega and said just enough to the rest of us to make you at least semi-liked so you wouldn't be booted first. What deals did you have? Who were you talking to? Because besides our discussion about your boobs, I got nothing from you. And then the merge. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you jumped on board with voting Caryn, Chris, Jolanda, and Gregg, and then FINALLY you made a move for me. I know about your final 3 deal with Chad and Tom. Describe that for me. Who was the goat in that situation? Do you really think you would have won? Regardless, you're sitting here based on a lot of luck, just like Bobby Jon. Only you at least played the game somewhat better. Give m something to believe in, and you just might get my vote.

Again, my deals with were Tom, and I do not deny this. When the tribes got switched and we filled out those lists prior, and Ami ranked first in every. single. category at Guatuso we knew that we had a legit player on our hands. Bobby Jon, Tom, and I were always solid, and if we just roped in Caryn we could've gotten Ami out first. Unfortunately we never had an opportunity to put the nuChoro dynamics to the test early because we kept winning .
But I think you're under-estimated my post-merge game. Caryn was an easy choice, everyone was down for voting for her. I didn't vote for Caryn that night because I was just doing what someone else said and going along, it was a group decision and I don't think you can blame me for not playing hard at the CARYN boot.
The Chris boot again, it's not like I was just riding Tom's coattails the entire time. Tom was always a lot more conflicted about "What should we do? Jolanda and Ibe are such a big threat!" But I knew that Chris was almost like the Guatuso version of me, and if we let him slip through the cracks, boom! He'd be in the finals. I know I had to make that move because Chris was a wild-card. Jolanda, Gregg, we've already been over. I would've liked to maybe get you or Ami out at Final 9 just because you two were big threats and I had a previous deal with Gregg, but the numbers just weren't there.
In the Tom/Chad/myself Final 3, I mean, I don't think there was a goat, and unlike popular belief, a Final 3 doesn't really need a goat. If that had indeed been the Final 3, I think it would've been a toss-up. I think I would've at least gotten Jolanda, Ibrehem, and Gregg's vote considering they were a lot more pissed at Tom than they were at me for flipping, and they basically have a disdain for Chad the entire time from all the nuGuatuso drama. I'm not sure I would've won, but I would've gotten 2nd at least. But I knew going against Tom was not something I wanted to do. I know I needed to break away at some point once I saw how close he was getting to you, Chad, Ami, and Lisa. And so no, I don't really think luck got me here at all actually. Bobby Jon idoling himself at Final 7 helped me out, because it enabled him to get to the Final 6 and then eventually 5 and then 4 and I knew he would tie the vote for me. But hell, even if he did get booted at Final 7, Ibrehem most likely goes at Final 6, I win Final 5 immunity, and I was damn close to winning the Final Immunity Challenge anyway so I feel like I would be sitting here regardless.

As for the 2nd question:
1. Ami
2. Mia
3. Tom
4. Ibrehem
5. Jolanda
6. Chad
7. Gregg
8. Chris
9. Caryn

As stated previously, your boot was definitely the one that played the biggest role in me getting here. It solidified a lot because it got Bobby Jon and Ibrehem to trust me, it gave fewer options to Tom and Chad cause I knew they were closer to the Guatuso girls than the Choro guys, and it got rid of one of the biggest threats in the game.

Okay. Booby Jaundice's answer is obviously a joke, so I'm just ignoring it obviously. Lisa will be late posting ehr response, so whatever.

But just answer me one last thing, Kim. With a short and quick response. Would Tom or Chad have been the goat in that proposed F3?

You only get one post Mia. It's MY TURN.

I'm actually putting in my vote for putting a halt to this after Lisa answers. I'm tired :P

Again, this was more of a Final 3 of 3 strong players, I'm sure they viewed me as the goat but I'm almost positive in that situation I would've gotten 3 votes. But I guess Chad would've ultimately been the "goat" just because Choro never liked him that much, and even though you guys were close with Chad, I think you would've respected Tom's game more.

You only get one post Mia. It's MY TURN.

Thanks. I'm satisfied, Jeff.

Love ya Chad!

Thank you mia love.

Chad, I do believe you're up.

I'm catching up in the AM. When are votes due, Probst?

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.

[quote="Mia"


Lisa- You're the sweetest person in this game. You haven't said an awful thing about anybody. You have no enemies. But basically, you have nothing. You did nothing. Basically useless in challenges. But you're sitting up there while 9 much tougher competitors are sitting here on the jury. So something HAD to have worked. I want you to tell me what you did BESIDES the under-the-radar game you played. I asked you several times to help me think of a way to shake things up and change the course of the game, but every time I asked, you gave me a boring and totally expected answer. You played it safe, and now you're sitting in the finals. Now is the time to give the jury something. Tell us SOMETHING. ANYTHING. Throw them under the bus. WHATEVER. I don't think I'm alone in being one of the ones that WANTS to vote for you, but at this point, none of us really CAN vote for you in good conscious.

Finally, I want you all to answer this: Rank the gameplay of all 9 of us sitting on the jury, from worst to best. After that, I want you to tell us which vote-off changed the course of your game and solidified why you're sitting up there tonight.

Thank you.

Mia out.

Thanks Mia

Other than being UTR, I really think it was good that I showed everyone how loyal I was, so everyone I was with would know they could trust me and could count on me to vote with them and would never vote me out for being sneaky or anything like that. It may have been safe but I don't think I would have made it this far if I would have been flipping all over the place.

The vote of that solidified the course I was gonna take and ended up getting me here was the Gregg vote like I mentioned before. Cause that's the vote that proved the most that I was sticking with you/Ami/Chad/Tom and wasn't palnning on flipping.


For the ranking of the 9 jurors:

9. Caryn
8. Chad
7. Gregg
6. Chris
5. Ibe
4. Jolanda
3. Tom
2. Mia
1. Ami

I'm catching up in the AM. When are votes due, Probst?

Since it seems like we won't get through everyone's tonight, the final votes will be due tomorrow at 9c/10e.
