    And then there were four.

    Do you still have a shot to win it? Who needs to be sitting next to you?

    What do you think the jury thinks of each of the F4? What is still within your power that you can do to curry favor with the jury?

    Do you think anyone still in it is ignorant to which players they should be sitting next to in the end for their best chance of winning? For each of the other three players: who is it in their best interests to take out?

    I believe I have a shot to win this game. Winning the final immunity challenge means I don't need to worry about making sure I get to the finals, I just need to worry about who I'm sitting there with. Having weighed up all of my options, I think my best bet is to take out Tom and face the jury alongside Lisa and Kim.

    If Tom is at the end he will almost certainly get Mia and Ami's votes. Also, Tom has had a pretty compelling journey through this game that could earn him some votes that would otherwise be mine.

    Lisa is the ultimate goat. She may try to present a 'Scooby Doo' reveal to the jury, but I can't realistically imagine that she has a case for why she should win. She may get votes from Mia and Ami, but I think that Ami at least respects the game too much to vote for Lisa.

    Kim could give me a run for my money against the jury. She has arguably pissed off fewer jurors than I and has been less of a visible threat. However, her game was greatly helped by my big moves, most notably both of my idol plays. I think the biggest argument against why I should win is that I will have been immune for the past four votes - twice with immunity and twice with hidden immunity idols - which some jurors may not respect. Kim has also won immunity twice, so if she is in the finals with me that argument is somewhat diluted.

    The best thing I can do now to curry favour with the jury is to take out my biggest competition in Tom, and then present a clear, honest, and compelling case for why I deserve their votes at the Final Tribal Council.

    If I had not won immunity I think it would have been in the best interests of all of the other three players to take me out. Now I think that Tom would like to take out Kim, Kim would like to take out Tom, and Lisa should want to take out Tom, but won't because she's massively ignorant about how to play this game to win.

    Have any of the other players still remaining surprised you? Have their actions proved them to be better or worse at the game than you expected them to be from, say, the merge?

    Would you expect any of the other three to be particularly articulate with the jury? (Or fall flat on their face trying to explain and defend their game?)

    Honestly, my perceptions of the other three remaining players haven't really changed since the merge. Maybe Kim has shown herself to be more dominant than I first thought, but I could always tell she was a savvy player.

    Tom would be the most articulate in front of the jury, which is part of the reason why I hope we can get him out tonight. Kim is a good speaker too. Lisa, I have no idea what she is going to say...

    it's been a long road Bobbi, and I have absolutely no qualms in roping you into this in the first place. You've been totally worth it and I hope you've enjoyed the game no matter how this turns out.

    I've yet to read any of FTC but do give us a running commentary in here of anything you feel you can't say out loud at FTC or how you think it's going or impressions of Jurors or w/e. icon_razz

    GLSM, you can nail this I'm sure.

    I'm exhausted. I really can't wait for it to be over. This has been an amazing experience, but I promise you I am not going to play another one of these games for a long time. Playing my first two games back-to-back like this has left me feeling burnt out.

    I don't have much I want to share in here. As much as I was expecting Mia to be a raging try-hard bitch at the Final Tribal Council, I hate that she's dampened the experience a little for me. There's simply no need to be so nasty in a game like this. Get over yourself. Ami too. Her threats yesterday to find out where I live and kill me because I idolled her out are just outrageous. Who are these people?!

    Kim is doing a great job at explaining her game to the jury. I think I've been struggling. I'm just so tired and feeling quite dejected. If I'm being honest, I would vote for Kim to win over me. I don't like people who have to rely on immunity to get to the end, but that's how my game played out and I need to try to defend it. I won't be too sad if I lose. In fact, I'm almost expecting it. I just need to remember how much fun this has been and I genuinely want to thank all of the hosts for making this an unforgettable experience.

    Now, what the fuck does GLSM stand for? icon_razz

    Good luck so much!

    How is Lisa being received do you think? Brave enough to try predict the Jurors based on their responses/your in-game impressions of them?

    I don't think Lisa is doing very well. She has simply talked about her under the radar, loyal game over and over and probably won't get any votes.

    My current predictions on how the jury will vote are as follows:

    Caryn - Bobby Jon
    Chris - unsure
    Jolanda - unsure
    Gregg - most likely Kim
    Mia - Kim
    Chad - Kim
    Ibrehem - Bobby Jon
    Ami - Kim
    Tom - unsure

    I'll be satisfied with second place. My main goal coming into this game was to improve on my first game (6th place) which I have definitely done.

    I don't think there's anything I could have gained from answering Ami's ridiculous question. All I can hope for is the slim chance that some jurors feel sympathetic to me as the target of her irrational outbursts icon_razz

    Brenda, I'm sorely disappointed about how much you gushed over Kim in the cast reveal. I thought I was your one true love? Still, thank you for the nice write up about me and for appreciating that just two months ago I had never even heard of ORGs icon_lol

    Also, given how much love there seems to be for Mia (from you hosts and apparently from the lurkers) I expect to find a fair amount of hatred for me once the boards are opened up. I still don't get it, but you guys are the experts.

    Lol I thought the same thing during my season. Then we're all on the AIM afterparty and Brenda doesn't even acknowledge me icon_weep
