Board Thread:Season 18 - Heroes vs. Villains/@comment-24459371-20140820041332

Well Gentlemen, here we are, the final Tribal Council where you all get the chance to tell tall tales of your game play and mastery of your peers. Obviously due to the fact that we don't have camera crews following us around daily, we can only choose which story we want to believe and not which is the truth - in the end the winning story will take on the history of Survivor ORG and be the tale of HvV. With that being said, I want to get to my questions for you three!

LUKE - Luke, Luke, Luke. You played this game as as Godfather or Don, the head mafiaso who acted not necessarily in the best interest of the family, but in the best interest of his own ego. If anyone questioned, commented or suggested an alteration from your plan they were quickly disposed of in a thumbs down Gladiator style - a fate I discovered only after I made a move to limit your options. But it's not my voting out that really stabs my gut, but rather your speech here tonight. You see, you knew that my strongest trait was my loyalty and trust - I worked hard to ensure that I was honest and open with you, working to establish a strong bond from Day 1 when you formed an alliance with me in this game. Sadly when I read your speech, at no point does it make mention of this alliance, or the information we shared. You don't even mention me in the beginning alliance with Natalie, Jessy and Sam - when all three can support, maybe not a deciding member, but I was the fifth in that alliance. With that being said, It comes down to your "question to earn my vote"....It's quite simple, Luke - tell me why someone would feel comfortable voting for your game play, a controlling dictator style, to be awarded the title of Sole Survivor?

ANDREI - If Survivor was a kindergarten class, your report card would read "Doesn't play well with others." You made it very clear in this game, since the get go, that I wasn't a part of your game. You never welcomed my opinions, comments or thoughts - if I was unable to read the 200 plus messages I received well at work, you were the first to say "We already discussed that." I am sure some of this was related to you feeling my strategy was not a good one, and that I didn't deserve to be playing - and technically my strategy didn't get me to the final 3. I played one way, you played another. The only issue is, I don't see much difference in the two forms of play - Sure you were stronger in challenges, but even in Turkey I never won a single challenge. Sure you were more active in the group convos, but in the end, we got the same information conveyed. Even you admitted you voted with the majority interest most of the time, despite reservations - which is the same for me until the Final 6 vote. So my question for you is this; can you tell me one incident where you made a decision that was not for the majority's interest and was completely self serving?

ADAM - Adam, it surprises me that based on the speeches from your fellow finalist, you are the most honest dishonest person to play HvV. In the beginning we only spoke when you wanted information on votes, something we both were aware of. Later we spoke when you needed my help - I just wish I had spoke to you before I voted in the Final 6 vote. I lied to you, I had already voted but my only regret is not waiting and changing my vote to benefit us. You made it here by being dishonest, lying and working your tribe mates. You also made it here by playing a respectful game, and valuing those around you for what they are. My question is pretty simple - what three post merge tribe mates do you think deserve to be up there as a Final 3. You do not need to pick yourself, and please don't feel you need to pick me because I asked. I genuinely want to know who you think deserved to be sitting there tonight?

With that I am done, thanks guys...it was a long season but you are here because you played a game, regardless of what I (or we) think of the way you did it. Here is to some great memories and a great winner.
