Have fun!

Hi guys! Congrats on making day 39, FTC, final 2, that's an amazing achievement!

Wilfred For me you have a squeaky clean game Wil. You were in Ponderosa through the peak of the merge, and so you don't really have anyones blood on your hands. You were amazing in challenges upon your return, and you were very active and willing to work with me, which was awesome because I remember when we stuck together in the tribe swap and it was good to have a fresh face. At first when you returned I really wanted to vote your ass off and just continue on with the rightful final 4, but you were there, and you spoke, and I kind of had to work with you anyway lol, but thank you for being active and being you.

My question for you is why should I NOT vote for you?

Jade Jade Jade Jade my number 1 ally. I was so excited when we finally met at merge and I quickly discovered who you were due to your typing and vice versa. Not only were we aligned last season in Honduras but the season never finished so I was super excited to finish this season with you and get a little bit of redemption. We had a final 3 deal with Leo, and then a final 2 deal between ourselves but hey, it's clear we both would have taken Leo to the finals. I was not really pissed when you flipped in the final 4, kind of just saddened. I loved playing with you, and I wanted to get to that final 3 you but unfortunately it just didn't happen.

My one question for you is if Leo didn't have his tie breaking power, how would you have navigated that final 4 vote?

Guys I'm so tied up right now as who to vote for, so any questions for me or rebuttals of my speech please let me know, I'm open and willing :)

Hi. First, I would like to thank the hosts for having me. I admit, I have been a little bit hard with you, but know that it wasn't anything personal. I just thought I'd address the things I thought is unfair and unjust. It might just be me, but I am in awe that you took it in with genuine, listening ears - taking it like a professional. Again, thank you very much. I enjoyed my stay in India. I wouldn't be called son of Hephaestus if I couldn't endure a hot weather, being the son of the fire god himself. LOL this is getting way out of topic.

Next, I apologize for not having Braydan's ability to make his speech much more elegant to read. I took up a whole course of Website Designing and yet I forgot the codes. LOL.

Before I start of with the finalists, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to everyone who I might have offended all throughout the game. I always invest emotions in the games I played, and that is what's driving me to sometimes be off hand. BUT, know that it is not in any way personal. I am hoping to reconcile and reconnect with everyone, those of whom I offended or not, and hope that my flaws would be forgiven. Hey, I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, too. A jerk? Sometimes. So I apologize.

Now, back to the main event.

Congratulations Jade and Wilfred for reaching this far. Clearly, whether we admit it or not, you outplayed everyone of us sitting here in the jury section, and those who went home pre-merge. You both played differently, and it all paid off.

Jade

We have been together since day 1. We have been constantly talking about normal stuffs - life as it is, books, fast food chains, and other things that is both weird and fun. If anything, we both made a great duo.

BUT..

I may have to disagree with what you said. You did not get me to vote with you. I vote based on my own accord, base on what I think will be best for my game. Yes, you suggested names to me, but Phoenix did, too. I pondered on every vote, thinking that if I vote otherwise it would just hurt my game. And so, I voted who I think will benefit me in the long run, and it shows that who you and Phoenix are voting is highly beneficial to me as I've reached Final 3.

Thus, congratulations for making it in the final 2, and good luck.

Wilfred

At the start of the game, we got along well, talking about books and other fictional characters. But, when we started on opposing tribes, things fell apart as quickly as Melissa McNulty from Survivor Fiji backed out.

I was shocked when Dank brought you back in the game, and all that's been nagging in my brain was you don't deserve to be here. You were just carried here by an advantage, didn't really worked your ass off half of the merge as you were already voted out. 

BUT..

You proved me, us, wrong. You won the three crucial immunity challenges. I am quite disappointed on myself for not winning FIC. I was so close, yet I was so far. If only I have scored 30% on that fucking puzzle, it would have been me there and not you, to be quite frank.

Thus, I gained a whole lot of respect for you and I take back what I said about you not deserving this spot, cause clearly, you do. Good luck.

Now for my questions:

Typical question.

1. If you were to be a disney character, who would you be and why?

2. What song best represents your gameplay?

3. Tell me a joke

4. Why is it that a bike can't stand on its own?

5. Who in the jury do you think has the best shot in winning this game had he/she been sitting in the finale?

6. Do you want to build a snowman?

7. Do you believe in life after life?

8. If a cockroach lands on a soap; would the soap be dirty or would the cockroach be clean?

9. Would you rather have an extra finger, or less one?

10. Do you think you have a shot at winning this game?

I would love for you to rank us, but Braydan beat me to it. And, looking at it, I think they already covered the survivor related questions I wish for you to answer, so with that,

Good luck, Final 2. And may the odds be ever in your favor. <3

Hi Guys! Congrats of make it to the end. You guys did what other 14 didn't, make it to the end, make the final 2, make day 39. But, do you deserve to be here? Or you don't? It was just luck?.

I'll start with you Wilfred

Congrats Man! You played a great game and you'll be a great winner of Malakal. You really deserve to win this. You outwited, outplayed, outlasted. In the premerge we always talked, and you were a good guy, but, let's been honest, i knew that you'd be a huge threat and that's why i voted for you in the first tribal of the merge, because you were a huge threat. I don't have much to say about you because you played Phisicall, Social and Strategic, but i just want to know: 

a) What do you think was your best move?

b) How did you feel after i vote for you in the first tribal?

_________________________________________________________________________________

Jade:

Jade, Jade, Jade. I'll be honest, at the beggining i was sure that you would be a good winner. After reading your speaches, i don't know. I won't say you play a horrible game, i mean, i won't do it, but i respect the way that you "played" the game, i think that, except that there is something called Russel Hanzt aka the worst player ever of Survivor, nobody plays a horrible game. But you lied in your speech a lot. So Jade, i want you to

A)Tell me why you deserve my vote, tell me everything that you have been doing since day 1. Everything, Strategic, Social and Phisicall

B)Why Wilfred doesn't deserve to win?

_________________________________________________________________________________

Also, Both of you, Wilfred and Jade, i want you to awnser this easy questions.

1-Compare you and the jury as a real survivor player.

2-Tell me why Russel Hantz is the worst player ever of Survivor

3-Tell me why Sandra-Diaz Twine aka the queen is the best player ever of Survivor

_________________________________________________________________________________

Well, that's all. Good Luck!

And Adiós, perras!

Congrats Jade and Wilfred on making final 2!

Wilfred I respect how much of a beast you are in challenges. You and I were a big part of why our OG tribe never went to tribal (Jade, jury management love, in your speech you said I was no threat in challenges) I actually am a challenge threat Maribelle was just more of a beast than me once we got to late merge. Also, you strategized me and you and Duncan were my closest allies coming into the merge. Seeing as how Duncan immediately bussed me to Mari come merge that left you as the one person I trusted and you didn't betray that when we went to vote. That was why when Mari gave me the legacy and I had to choose someone to bring back I chose you. I am sad to hear you knew I was immediately going and didn't tell me or work harder to try to make someone else the target. Perhaps I should have brought someone more inactive like Ashley back in seeing as how I took second in that challenge. But that was my poor game choice. Your game shined most in the  physical in my opinion. I do have a hard time looking past the fact that you were absent for a majority of the merge portion of the game.

Jade, you did a lot in this game socially and strategically. Even though you were not a come beast, you were a controller of votes. I completely disagree that you were just a number or a goat. I perhaps have a perspective on that others did not as I knew I was on the bottom whether I went with either alliance. From my POV Mari was controlling one side and you were controlling the other. I thought about bringing you up as the vote since I felt you were a threat to make the end but I knew Leo and Phoenix were closer to you and would not go for it. That was your social game play coming in. I do believe if not for Leo's advantage Mari would likely have won this game so there was a bit of luck in that but also strategy and social skills that you were able to make him feel safe and get him to use it in our favor. You were never inactive and you did put your heart into the game and I love to see that.

My question to you both- do you agree with which aspects I have assigned as your biggest strengths? Wilfred physical and Jade strategic and social.

Good luck to you both! Jury- I implore you to look past any feelings of bitterness about your own demises in the game and ask who played the best game from what you value about the game of survivor.  Who outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted better than the other? It was an honor playing with you all.

The queen has arrived, even though I'm not a winner or two-time winner I have been voted out every season because of running the show in my own. That makes me the queen and as many of you said, I played the best game out of here. I'm cocky, because I have a reason to be cocky. Enough about me, we're here for you two today. My vote is at this point pretty made up but this speech will help myself by sharing all my thoughts and feelings with you two, mostly about one of you.

Let's start with Wilfred, you don't wanna know how proud I am of you. This season you started strong, you made alliances and you won challenges for your tribe. At the swap, you were super social and we actually bonded a lot. But at the merge, you were seen as the biggest threat and I made sure you would go home. You fought hard, you got people to vote with you and you almost survived. That was amazing. You got brought back by Dank Girl, you wouldn't have been chosen if you had no impact on her. You had done something which made her wanting you back in the game. Social game, masterminded. You knew what you had to do, you took advantage of the situation and won immunity. Some of the jurors think that winning immunity isn't a strategy but they don't know winning immunity isn't just luck. You fought, worked and did everything to win immunity. You voted out the right people. You had no blood on your hands since you were the underdog and you were a threat at the moment you were back in the game. They can say what they want but you did play a PHENOMENAL physical game. You slayed the challenges and you took the right person with you to the end. You couldn't make a better choice because you know what's good for YOUR game. Honestly, I don't see anything bad about your gameplay. You earned your way in the F2. You slayed this game. And you need to win it.

Let's continue with Jade, because girl you just f*cked up. You know how much you lied during this game but also in your speech? You have attacked me personally in this game, you tried to drag me down in a personal way and that's something you should NOT be rewarded for.

I don't forgive or forget the fact you personally attacked me time after time and kept saying it was gamewise, but once I attacked you it was immediately personal in your eyes. You played the victim and you have used so many ugly words to fight me. But alright, let's start at the beginning. We started being pretty close at the begin, I trusted you and we had this big alliance. I got added by Enoch as last and I knew I was on the bottom of that alliance. I am not stupid, Jade. So I talked more with everyone individually, got close with Kelsey and Vanessa but us two had always had something bothering that just wouldn't work. At the merge, we were theoretic together because we were still in this alliance but it was you who decided to try to backstab me and the entire alliance and go against me because I was suddenly the biggest threat. You called my allies the 'Mari Cult' and you pissed off so many people with your jealous attitude. Were you angry that I treated people as allies and not as numbers?

You fought me several times because I called you out IN GAME on your nasty actions. You tried to vote me out, you talked shit about me and the worst part about the situation; you blocked me. WHY THE HELL would you block someone who is playing a game with you. I mean, we fought and we had arguments but that is no reason to block me. I never insulted you personally, I fucking never did that. Unless you started by making personal insults towards me. You can't say I was toxic and stuff because you can't just blame me for everything that happened. You were wrong, don't play the fucking victim because you are super annoying.

Also, your ROP did not make sense at all. First, you could also choose a situation we could hear you better. You don't need to show your face as I wouldn't do it either. But you walking, you were hard to understand. Got to say, you talk better english than you type it. Second, you tell way too many lies. You keep saying I am this bad girl who attacks people and am bitter about everything. Uhm girl, I am only bitter against YOU. Wilfred tried to vote me out at the first merged tribal council. Am I bitter at him? No. Phoenix and Leo refused to vote, resulting me to go home. I rooted for Phoenix to win and Leo and myself are cool outside the game. Dank Girl voted me too, but at ponderosa I have only had good conversations with her. You can't say I'm bitter, toxic or anything else. You did this to yourself, don't blame anyone else for your stupid actions.

You backstabbed everyone in this jury, you stopped talking to the people you were gonna vote off. You even blocked me because you couldn't take the reality you sucked at the jury management of this game. You played a horrible game and everyone who says it isn't is bitter they didn't make FTC. I know I played one hell of a amazing game, I don't care I'm sitting in the jury. I know once Wilfred won, the season had a worthy winner. Aviv/Tara/Winter/Luke/Roxy/Jade, every time we played you gunned for me. As you said, you knew I was Ella from the start of the game. You targeted me for being myself, and that's disgusting. I have 0% respect for you as a player or person. People may say I am way too bitter or aggressive but you did this really to yourself. This is what you get when you fight with me.

So, I have no questions for you two at all. My vote is 98% decided. I will read your answers on other jury questions and if Wilfred somehow fucks up big time, there might be a tiny little chance I vote for Jade but that would be the 7th world miracle. Jade, just some advice for you. Don't dare to answer on this jury speech unless it's something positive. You can defend yourself if you want but say one lie, say one bad thing or insult me once and I'm sending my vote for Wilfred to my confessional thread. I don't care, you already made tons of mistakes, I wouldn't be surprised if you did it here again.

Well bitches, that's what I gotta say for now. I'll be watching you and if one of you say some shit which ain't true I will still call you out on that (mostly Jade bc I know Wilfred won't do that). Stay cool, queen stays queen adios! xo

Hey guys!

I just want to first of all thank the hosts for running this amazing season, it was a lot of fun to play, and you guys did an amazing job! I'd also like to thank each juror and each prejuror for playing great games and all bringing something very special and unique to this game, it was an excellent game that I greatly enjoyed, and I will be a little sad to see it end, seemingly so soon.

Now, I feel like I have a valid case to receive your jury votes, because I always played hard - I always put my best in, I was always active, always playing, and always ready to shake up the game, through my social, strategic and physical game, and through my active and engaged personality that was always ready to be a part of the game.

In the premerge, I was in a controlling position on my original tribe, and led us (not solely of course! It was a team effort, but a few of us, including me, were more influential in directing the tribe) to a series of immunity wins, but had a group of tight alliances that I could hold onto to survive if we did happen to go to tribal.

After the swap, I was put in danger, being in a tribe where I am in the minority based on the original tribe, but I was socially active, always put my best into the challenges, and managed to survive either way, playing a strong and active game in a season where neither of those things were guarantees, nor could be taken for granted. This speaks to the strongest aspect of my game - I never gave up, I always gave it my all, and I always played with a good strategy, if not always a successful one.

Now, of course, comes the merge, where I get voted out. There's no way around that, but I think the fact that I was #1 target after the merge shows that I always played the game and did my best, and that even though I tried my best to sway people, it took an artifact to switch the majority against me.

But the close social bonds I had made throughout the whole season with many people paid off through the legacy advantage, and I came back at F5. I knew I was at the disadvantage, people had grown so much closer to each other without me, so I had to play my very hardest to reach the end, which I did. Not only through immunity challenges, which I showed my commitment by winning all three, including completing the hellish black puzzle, but also through making alliances and bonds. I promised Phoenix and Jade that we would be the Final Three, and I would've managed to make it happen if not for Leo's tiebreaker item that just came out of nowhere. And my two allies fought, sure, but I made sure that their fights were never so bad as to ruin my gameplan.

Overall, I played the game by putting everything into the challenges, winning three individual immunities, creating genuine social bonds with the people I played with, and always playing strategically - pushing to do my best, and to always take risks. Did all of them pay off? No. But they were calculated risks, so even if they didn't all play off, they still show me as being willing to play the game hard, and play it well.

Thank you to everyone involved with making this game, it was a lot of fun and I am honoured to have reached the Final Two.
