Board Thread:Season 29 - Azerbaijan/@comment-5357455-20151201013812

Hello, it's me.



First off: Congratulations for making it to the envious day 39. No one would have ever guessed Jared and Ella as the final two remaining, but to our surprise this ever-changing season resulted in an unexpected final two. Personally, I am just happy that the individualized game was awaken at the end of the season and the two alliance battle has resulted in a survivor from each side. I wish you both the best of luck but now its time to decide which one of you two is deserving of the million dollars and the title of sole survivor.

Ella: You know I love you personally, but when you wrote my name on the parchment it was a game decision so that's what this is about to be when I am faced with the very same parchment and your fate in my hands this time. Honestly, I am not quite sure how you made it here other than no one wanted to take you out. When the merge hit, you knew that you were a swing vote which put you in such a powerful position. You had the ability to steer this season in whichever way you wanted, however you played the role of the backseat driver. You claim that you pitched ideas as a part of you huge strategic game; however, it was others who actually steered your alliance to the right path and avoided the bumps in the road while you were just being a passenger. Every move that you claim for your own, you compromise with the statement that you and Cliff or you and Felix did it together. Those moves are not “yours." It is also very ironic that your profile picture was Princess Peach because that is like the game you played. You were the princess that everyone held on a pedestal because that's where you found fit but in reality there were other "characters" saving you this entire time. It's sad to say that you have been deceived to believe this, however; this helped get you to the end because no one saw you as a target. Now my question is: what is one move that you orchestrated, not something you carried out, not something that was another persons idea, something that was 110% Ella? And if you say something I know isn't true you just lost my vote 110%

Jared: My partner in crime, you know I have huge respect for the way you played. I am so proud of you and how far you have come even being on your own for the last part of this game so I can’t say enough how happy I am for you two. But as a jury member, I am not just going to hand you my vote but make you work for it. Ever since Nick was voted out, you were placed in a minority position where you had to struggle day to day just go get through tribals. However your luck changed on day 33 when you won individual immunity and no one can take that away from you. You were also salvaged when Felix opted to make a big move and get a bigger threat in Cliff out before you. I love your underdog story, but why should an underdog story be triumphant? When the opposing alliance was deciding the pecking order: you were saved because you were not seen as a huge threat and when Cliff was voted out, you were also saved because he was perceived a bigger threat. Now my question is: despite your immunity wins, do you have any other credentials that make you worthy of becoming sole survivor even though you were allowed to slip under the radar for most of the game because of your pearl and how you were not seen as this huge threat?
