So this is my first time being a juror and I really don't know what the hell I'm doing here, so cut me some slack here. First I want to thank the hosts and PWs for this amazing game and for putting up with my constant bitching on my confessionals. I'm kinda surprised and flattered at the same time that you guys found me to be this big threat that you needed to get rid of ASAP. And you're right about that, I would have fucked you guys all up the first chance I got.  "Praise me bitches" Now, congratulations on the both of you for making it to the end. My vote is really up in the air and I would rather not vote for anyone because you both suck (sorry not sorry). I think everyone sitting on the jury all deserved to make it to the final over both of you (well except for Jaclyn lol), but I promised I wouldn't be an old bitter bitch, so whoever answers my questions the best gets my vote. And if none of you nail this questions, I'll just decide it by a coin flip. Adam - I don't necessarily think you played a bad game, but I'm not too sure your jury management was the best, or at least with me. You only talked to me when you felt like you were in trouble. During the Dan vote you told me how you felt like you were on the chopping block, and I did the best I could to get the target off your back and put it on Kathy. Then you go and vote for freaking Dan without telling me anything. What the fuck dude? After that you only talked to me again after the Chelsea boot, being all butthurt that we didn't tell you about the plan to vote her out. It always seemed to me that you didn't know what the hell you were doinh and you were just floating by. Silas - let's be real here, we only talked like twice in this entire game. You always seemed like a douche, but I always knew that was you just playing your character so I didn't mind it. I honestly have nothing to say to you, good or bad, but that doesn't mean I won't vote for you. Here are some questions for both of you: 1. Tell me of a move you were the sole responsible for. And if you don't have any, please be honest about it and don't go claiming moves you didn't make because that will cost me my jury vote. I prefer a goat who knows is a goat than a person who thinks is a mastermind when in reality they did absolutely nothing. 2. Why does the person sitting next to you DON'T deserve the title of Sole Survivor. 3. Compare each of the jury to a tv show (lame I know, but I couldn't think of anything else). MAY THE BEST MAN WIN. |

To address your opening statement.. I honestly felt like I couldn't talk to you, cause I never felt like you believed me half the time. The lying about the Dan vote was just because we were all scared of you and sierra flipping to cause a 4-4 tie. You were smart enough to put two and two together that Spencer, Crystal, and Chelsea were together. I knew what I was doing, up until Chelsea was blindsided, then I have to regroup. I honestly could never trust you, So I didn't talk to you a lot. I felt like you were going to come after me regardless, so I put my time into gaining trust in people like Silas. I know that it's not a great way to get a jury to vote for me, but at the time I was in minority, I had to do whatever it took. But I never floated by, there wasn't a single round where I didn't ensure I was safe. After you three flipped, I acted like I was dead and out to you, spencer, and Sierra. I didn't want to pose a threat to you guys, but behind the scene, I was securing my safety. And that's how I gained Silas.
1. Some moves that I was the mastermind of was for sure the Marcus vote, Crystal vote, Sierra, and Dolly vote. Marcus using his power on Dolly created the opening. I mentioned it to Crystal, Jaclyn, and Spencer that I wanted him gone, and got Crystal and Jaclyn on board with it, I didn't even bring it to Silas because I knew he wouldn't do it. And then Sierra got on board last, but she thought I didn't know about it. For the Crystal vote, I could have switched it to Sierra. I know Silas thinks he is the one who controlled that vote, but it was still me. I couldn't act like this dictator in our alliance. I may have wanted Sierra out, and I had the votes to get her out at this point, but I still voted for Crystal, and was the reason she left. The sierra vote was my biggest one because of the idol play. If I didn't have everyone trusting me, The idol would have been used on Jaclyn. I was so good with my words at final 5, that I was able to find out Sierra was flipping and Idol out her. And lastly the Dolly vote. Silas could have easily flipped that round and kept her, but me pushing for her constantly, and being so persuasive got her out.
2. Honestly because Silas did pretty much what I told him to do. After Marcus was gone, he had no one to go to, which was my plan from the start. Once I took away Marcus, Silas had no other option but to work with me. So I have two votes with me at all times, because Silas and Jaclyn won't ever turn on me. There isn't honestly one move Silas made that I wasn't apart of because I did all of it.
I will do 3 after class I am running out of time sorry, and if any other jury reads ill be back in like 5-6 hours, sorry love yall xo

Fair enough, and you're right about me not trusting you, even though I really wanted to. I can't really blame you for what you did though because if I was in your position I would have probably done the same. The round you approached me when we were on tribes I basically had no one except for maybe Crystal and Chelsea (and they weren't as close to me as I thought at that moment) so when I said I would have your back if you had mine I was being totally honest. But still, I applaud you for making it to the end because you had a lot of obstacles in your way (me being one of them lol) and you overcame them. Good luck  |

Hey Erinn! I know we never spoke (like never never). That's part of the reason why I felt the need to blindside you. No hard feelings! You were a competitor and a half.
1. Tell me of a move you were the sole responsible for. And if you don't have any, please be honest about it and don't go claiming moves you didn't make because that will cost me my jury vote. I prefer a goat who knows is a goat than a person who thinks is a mastermind when in reality they did absolutely nothing.
If there's one thing I'm not, it's a goat. Goats need herders. People to make them goats. Cochran has Sherri. Rob has Natalie. Kim had Chelsea. Tyson had Gervase. ETC. Nobody in this game used me for any vote at any point in this game. I didn't follow anybody orders. I got to where I am right now by making moves I thought made sense. If I voted how somebody else told me to vote, it's because that vote made sense to me and I wanted to appease that person. Nobody dragged me to the end, I got myself to the end by flipping at appropriate times and making the right strategic decision. Coming into the merge, I was in Marcus' endgame and maybe in the endgames of Robb and Dolly. Nobody had me down as somebody they wanted to bring to the end. Sure, I was't their first target, but I was somebody they planned on getting out along the way. But, the fact is that I made it here on my own virtues and my own decisions. I'm not a goat because nobody played this game intending to take me to the end.
Moves I made? I really focused on not trying to push my own agenda too overtly during this game. Throwing names out there like a savage has gotten me in trouble in past games so I had to be careful. I really made sure that whatever move I wanted to make, I could get others on board with me. I usually tried to get people to suggest what I wanted before agreeing, cause everyone was fucking allied with everyone during this game so I didn't want to say the wrong name to the wrong person. Your vote, the Tasha vote, the Cirie vote, the Spencer vote, the Sierra vote, the Dolly vote and the Crystal vote were moves I was 100% set on doing. Was I the only one who did them? No. Adam was headset on voting a lot of those people as well. I made sure that I was making moves that other people wanted and didn't force my agenda too heavily. The only time I did was for the Crystal vote because I knew I NEEDED her gone. I thought up a lot of plans (your boot comes to mind) but I danced around them a lot of the time and tried to make them come off as mutual ideas. The only votes I'd say I really played a follower role as was the pre-tribe votes, the Robb vote (where I voted Sierra) and the Chelsea vote. All the other ones went down as I wanted them to.
2. Why does the person sitting next to you DON'T deserve the title of Sole Survivor.
I basically addressed this in Crystal's question if you want a more in depth answer. I think I played a straight up cleaner game than Adam did. Adam lied an unnecessary amount this whole game. He backstabbed a lot of people and went back on deals he made. Adam was always telling me how he was arguing with people and whatnot. He told off Dan when Dan left and tried to create drama. By being lowkey I managed to not annoy people like Adam often did (or so people told me he did). Adam also cut it way closer than I did and came way closer to being in serious danger. I was never actually in danger while Adam cut it pretty close multiple times. I did a better job at holding my tongue when I had to and at staying true to my word. I'd say I was more composed and more dignified of a player than Adam was. Our games were freakishly similar, truthfully, but I'd say I played the strategy more effectively.
Thanks Erinn!

I know television! This should be fun.
Chelsea Meissner
Dexter
TBH, everyone always tells me I have to watch Dexter. And like, deep down, I know I should probably watch it, but I never did. Instead, I kinda just waited for it to die out and then I didn't have to worry about it anymore. People kept talking about you but I never really did anything about it! Instead, you were voted out and I kinda didn't have to at that point.
Cirie Fields
The Walking Dead
I loved The Walking Dead at first. It was my fave show and I'd rush to watch it every week. However, unfortunately, it started to suck at some point. There was some breaking point where I was like: yeah, I'm gonna do myself a favour and stop fucking with this show. Unfortunately, that kinda happened with us. Got respect for you inside and outside the game but I did what ~felt right.
Erinn Lobdell
Orange Is The New Black
Another show that I know is good but that I don't watch. Everyone tells me I should watch it, and I know I should, but I just never get around to it. We never spoke, and I knew you were a strong player, so I did simple math and figured you had to go. Also there's a lot of Lesbian adventure in the show and I had to wonder why you and Sierra were so close...
Marcus Lehman
Heroes
So like I loved Heroes so much. I'd watch it every Monday and discuss it online and cry myself to sleep over how much I loved it. It got cancelled tragically early and I was at a loss for words when it happened. You left me like Heroes did and it may have hurt even more.
Spencer Bledsoe
Family Guy
In it's original seasons, Family Guy was one of the most loved shows in North America. Everybody fawned over it and it was quality. Eventually, Family Guy crashed and burned and kinda went too far and dug itself into a whole, though. Spencer, your game up until like f8 was a+. Everybody told me they liked you and it was a bit threatening, tbh. With time though, it kinda self-destructed. I applaud your game nonetheless.
Crystal Cox
Game of Thrones
Let's be real, everybody's talking about Game of Thrones like every day haha. Your name wasn't leaving people's mouths ever. Good or bad, you were the talk of the town.
Sierra Dawn Thomas
Big Brother
BB is known for two things: strategy and drama. You brought both to this game. You were plotting but you were bringing the noise too. You'd probably do well on the real show, honestly.
Dolly Neely
Lost
Cause Lost fucking rocks?? Yeah, it kindof tripped over itself here and there and made some narrative mistakes (that cost it some viewers), but honestly, Lost brought the perfect combination of everything to the television game. You made some mistakes that cost you the game, but that doesn't change the fact you kinda slayed this.
Jaclyn Schultz
MasterChef
So like, apparently I'm the only person who loves Masterchef?? I watch every week and get super into it but then nobody else does. Sure, it's not the best show ever (like you weren't the best strategist ever), but it's entertaining as hell and it gets my love no matter what the haters say.
Thanks Erinn!
