''Firstly, I'd like to say congratulations to you both for making it to the Final Tribal Council because it isn't easy to make it where you both have, however I would just like to say that don't take any criticism to heart because if I am criticizing you, realize that it's your game and not your character by any means. And don't expect me to leave anything unsaid because I'm going to putting all cards out on the table.''



Speech to Emile 

Saying you ignored the social aspect of this game is a major understatement. You had ZERO to no influence in any of the eliminations that took place and I refuse to reward someone who did absolutely positively nothing but win challenges. You relied on those immunity wins to get here and on advantages. If you need immunity/advantages to survive a vote then your game is definitely flawed. I've said this before and I'll say it again. This isn't Survivor: Borneo, you MUST have strong relationships established to have any sort of control in the game. You didn't have a mind of your own and your only move was voting me out thus increasing my belief that you spent the entire season under Jessy's spell. You let someone who has NEVER received a vote against them make the Final Tribal Council and that is honestly one of the dumbest moves I've ever observed in Survivor history. You played an underwhelming game and were a one trick pony this entire season, you were safe until Day 19 and even at that point you didn't have any sort of influence in how the votes fell. You had one of the easiest roads to the merge and didn't have that pressure to build the necessary relationships needed to advance and succeed in this game. Everyone has their own strategy when it comes to the game but yours is not one I really respect at all. You were under the influence of the Amazonas the entire time and you were extremely introverted and would only talk if people approached you. In this game you have to be proactive, you can't just expect to win your way to the end and get rewarded for not having any sort of influence on sitting people on the jury! I don't care if you were a good and loyal person, show me how you outwitted, outplayed and outlasted everyone on the jury because right now you're basically expecting others to reward you for your challenge wins and that will never be enough for me to reward anybody with my vote. You can definitely beat anybody in a flash game but when it comes to the game itself, I'm not so sure.



Questions for Emile

1. Name one move that you made solely yourself (other than my elimination) without any influence from others, make me believe you actually played the game.

2. You pretty much ignored the social aspect of this game. You're aware this isn't Survivor: Borneo right? Just checking because it seems like you enjoyed riding Jessy like a horse this entire season. Please justify this.

3. You were immune until Day 19, why should you be rewarded for the win when you had little to no influence in any of the decisions made? And what made you think you could start playing socially at the Final 5 and get away with it?

4. Name each juror's biggest strength in this game and their biggest weakness, don't kiss butt.

Speech to Jessy

I think we all agree that you played a great social and strategic game but I think your biggest weakness was lack of jury management. You had a major role in a lot of the blindsides that took place this season but I believe that you left a lot of people feeling betrayed and I totally respect that but not many people seem to. I think it's a double-edged sword honestly, on one hand you were able to pull off blindsides without people really feeling any sort of vibe but on the same token your allies felt as if they had a big knife stuck in their back and I feel that could seriously cost you the win if you don't do some major damage control. You have the social game, you have the strategic game and you have the physical game but I feel like you made more game relationships than personal relationships and in this game personal relationships tend to be stronger because they then evolve into game relationships which makes them nearly unbreakable. Nevertheless, you dominated in this game and are a true contender for the win. However, some people found your speech a bit arrogant so I feel like you should take this as an opportunity to clear up any misconceptions that have been made. You really had Emile in your back pocket and he did whatever master Jessy told him to do. You made him look like a complete dumbass for taking you to the Final 2 and it gave me a good laugh. While I was devastated to go I found it hilarious that Emile was moron enough to take you to the end. You accomplished a great feat by making it 39 days without getting a vote cast against you and you should be proud of how you played. I spent quite some time plotting for your demise but people (Emile in particular) had an astonishing attachment to you and I applaud you for that but I feel like you should try to be a little more modest when referring to the others jurors because certain phrases and words can sometimes be misinterpreted as condescending.



Questions for Jessy

1. A lot of things in this game went in your favor, so please name one occasion in which they didn't and why you believe it didn't work out the way you wanted.

2. Whenever you stuck a knife in someone's back and they stuck around you didn't really seem to try and mend those relationships. Is it because you wanted to avoid being fake or was it due to something else?

3. How did your strategy/gameplay evolve from the beginning of this game to how it was towards the end? Did it change at all or was it mostly consistent? Go into detail.

4. Name each juror's biggest strength in this game and their biggest weakness, don't kiss butt.

''Sichuan was a phenomenal season and you should be very grateful to have been given the opportunity to play. It isn't an easy feat to make it to where you both have so seriously congratulations and be careful on how you answer these questions because I'm voting solely based on game performance, personal relationships and resentment won't come into the mix. May the best player win.''
