(Editor's note: This post was so big it got cut off. Sorry it's split into two!)
Brace yourselves, this won’t be easy…
I can’t say I’m disappointed with this final 3- it’s definitely better than the one I expected after I got voted out- but I feel like none of you really stood out as dominant players. And that’s fine, it means this (probably) won’t be a unanimous vote. Do I think it was the correct move to get rid of me in the final 5? Absolutely. And I hope I don’t sound egotistic by saying that, but I do believe I was everybody’s biggest threat towards winning at that point in time. Maybe ya’ll disagree, but that’s why you get to respond!
Anyways here’s how this will work: I’ll say my comments about you three, and give one or two individual questions. At the end of my little segment I’ll have two shared questions for me to directly compare all of your thinking. Here’s something you don’t see too often…my vote is completely up for grabs! It didn’t use to be, and you’ll hear more about it below, but you’re all even right now. Impress me the most and you get my vote, which I think will be very critical in this FTC.
ANTHONY:
You were actually someone I felt like I hit off with decently in the beginning. Sucks to hear it wasn’t mutual, but I could tell you were favoring Brittany by the time merge hit. In my opinion, and probably most of the jury, you were always in her shadow. I never saw you step up in strategy conversation or really do much of anything to stand out.
My questions to you:
1) Describe any times where you made a decision that differed from that of Brittany, or any time you successfully influenced her thought. Prove to us that you weren’t Brittany’s puppet.
2) Going off that idea, tell me if you ever considered voting Brittany out. If you were approached by Andrew and I to do so in the final 5 (given she didn’t win immunity), would you have done so.
BRITTANY:
You were the hero of this game for much of the season…until you voted me out. I can’t say I didn’t see it coming because I felt very nervous that day, but I truly didn’t expect you to betray me like that. We had many fun convos, and I thought I could call you a tengaged friend. Again, maybe you didn’t feel it was mutual, but I’m the one casting a vote tonight, so my opinion is what matters! We fit well together because we bounced ideas off each other (mainly getting you to accept my ideas :P ) and you have a very good knowledge of the game.
My questions to you:
1) Talk me through the decision to vote me out. Was it all just business, or did you feel any remorse?
2) What one move in this game would you take back and redo, if any? How would you change it, and how would it have benefitted your game?
