[[Link titleLink title]]''Well, I have a work hard, play hard attitude and I feel like I deserve to be sitting up there in that seat. I worked really hard out there and I played really hard out there with the people who wanted to plaaay. I'm not gonna talk about lies...deception...because I was there, too. We all were there.   Basically, I believe both of you have good hearts, and you made it...to the spot that....all of us wanted to be at. Congratulations there and.......that's all I have to say. ''

Okay, all 8th place, robbed 2nd juror Zoe Zanidakis jokes aside, I did play hard in the premerge (I was supposedly going to be one of the first people voted out of my tribe but I survived four premerge tribal councils in a row where the only votes against me were from myself), but once merge hit I completely sizzled and had too much on my plate school-wise. That’s why I don’t get why everyone thought I was this giant threat that needed to be expunged of. And because you all blindly inserted yourselves into Will’s gaping rectum, he basically waltzed over to final 5, idol in tow. And you all had the brilliant idea to blindside him then, at final 5, the one round where literally anyone who has an idol plays it because it is the last round you can play it. Idk who thought that would be smart (Tate). But enough about that, I can’t dwell on being voted out early, there is one very pressing matter I really have to get to.

I had quite an experience in this game, one that came very full circle to the first ORG I ever played, made even more full circle by the fact that Alex hosted it. At merge, this season had me getting Sumbawa flashbacks, but this time, I was on the side I never imagined being on. And the only way I can seem to label this feeling as is “The Dani Gunn Experience.”

Here’s the backstory - we have a Shirin-esque woman, Whitney (Posie), constantly berated by practically every single person in the game, namely Will, Tate, Brett, and Aras (Lexus, Ty, Jessica, and Brian). Then we have people who didn’t do any of this berating, Romain, Anna, and myself (Linus, Josh, and Dani), but willingly stood by and let it happen and even encouraged it. In my very first game, this very same thing happened, and in her jury speech, a one Dani Gunn expressed her complete and utter regret at ever allowing any of it to happen. And that, right now, is how I absolutely  feel. Ever since the second I was voted out, I’ve felt like absolute shit for just sitting there and supporting people who could be so accusatory, so utterly disrespectful to Whitney for almost absolutely no reason. So, she was a little full of herself at times. That doesn’t mean we go out there calling her a sockpuppet, berate her for a picture, and call her a cunt, especially considering this was her first game ever - much like Josephine. This feeling of such deep remorse is made only worse by the fact that these very people I actively supported  in their actions - blindly, as I was not very active after the merge in the first place - turned around and stabbed me in the back the very first opportunity they could. And I think that alone gives me enough reason to be bitter. I completely went against every single one of my morals in games and became the absolute last thing I had ever wanted to become.

That’s what makes my vote ultimately excruciatingly challenging for me. I can abstain and show disrespect to the hosts, or I can go against my morals and award someone who disrespected the players. Whatever I do, I will not feel good with myself. But I’m not necessarily voting bitterly tonight, I respect qualities of people’s games that others do not typically. Even still, my vote is definitely leaning one way tonight, but I fully and totally do not think either of you should feel awarded tonight unless you feel some kind of guilt for how you went about the merge. Your answers to my questions in regards to that overarching theme will definitely shape my decision tonight.

First things first I don't dislike you as a person but I really don’t understand what you have against me/have had against me from the beginning of the game to make you say that you got close with everyone on the Zibaq tribe including someone who has an extreme language barrier and someone who was an inactive flop. Like if there was something I said to you to inspire this insipid and one-sided rivalry with me (well no the rivalry wasn’t one sided, I knew what you were doing and how you were playing from the moment Anna told me she talked to you more than anyone else, you were really easy to read as a player, but I guess the other people were far more easy to slide up your asshole in that regard as well) but please, do let me know, because it has left me scratching my head.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I’m impressed that this is your first game, but I’m not impressed by your social game at all. Openly stating you don’t give a fuck about a jury members jury vote? Then claiming that this was some kind of ~strategic move~ to get you to the end and that that warrants a win? That’s disrespectful to literally every jury member ever (sadly only two other jury members agree with me here whitneykristen). I did have another question for you at one point but I think I’ll just leave it at wtf did I do to you lol.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Tate, I don’t really have much to say. You tried to make a final 4 deal with me while I was in the middle of directing a scene in school and I told you to ask me about it later and then you voted me out because of my nonexistent social game. Your rites of passage were really cute though so that moves you up some spaces tbh.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">One more thing, yes I really was inactive at the merge, I was never “pushing to vote Brett” like everyone keeps trying to say I was that’s what I was told to do. At that point in the game the only two people I even talked to regularly anymore were Brett and Aras, it was not a Me Move like the Scott, Malik, or Dalton votes were.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">But idk give me a reason, something that specifically applies to me, after you've read all of this that I have to say, that I vote for you to win and if I can agree I will vote for you to win.

<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">To make a long fucking story short, most of you kinda suck in my opinion (jk), I wish I started on the other tribe because I would probably have had a whole lot more fun, and overall I guess… good job guys? Idk not really though because I predicted this final three on like day six. Just hand Will the win like you've all been planning on doing and I had half-brained schemes to prevent from the start. <ac_metadata title="Zakriah&#039;s Jury Speech! XOXO"> </ac_metadata>
