It's really cool to see three players with completely different styles of gameplay make it to the Final 3! Despite what some of the jurors may be saying, I think you all have played a decent game and I don't give a fuck who the others perceive as most deserving; my vote is based off of what type of gameplay I can respect the most.

Joanna: You were really sweet to me and I was glad that we started working together at the merge. I did underestimate you and thought you were more loyal than you actually were, so props to you! One issue that I have with your game though is that you were inactive around the middle of the game because of external factors, which meant that you didn't have much control. Do you think that you positioned yourself to make no one want to take you out or did you just get lucky? Also, you went from voting with me, to voting me out and lying about it, to voting with me again. Why did you feel the need to flip flop so much?

Linus:  I think you played a great social game and there were times in which that made people not want to vote you out, so that's something to be proud of. However, I feel like when you were trying to persuade me not to vote for you, you weren't very convincing and I was persuaded more so by what others said than what you said. I think that you would easily be sitting on the jury if you hadn't won the final 3 immunity challenges though because Marie, Christine, Joanna and I would have voted you out. I was glad to get some insight on the alliances you made and why you chose to go with Claire and Christine and then voted them out, but I don't think those moves would have mattered much if you weren't immune. If you weren't immune at Final 6 for instance, you would have been the one voted out because I would have gone after you over Claire. I'm also pretty sure that if Claire won immunity at Final 4, you would be on the jury instead of her. Basically I want to know what you would have done to stay in the game if Claire won immunity between Final 6 to Final 4.

Marie:  Right now, I think you need to do the most work in convincing the jury, but oddly enough I find myself rooting for you the most at the moment. I can really respect your game plan of wanting to stay under the radar at the beginning and then wanting to take out big threats towards the end of the game. Your strategy was similar to my own and I would have ideally liked to end up in the Final 3 with you and Joanna because I thought it would be a tossup between us. You relied on strategy and positioning yourself well instead of winning challenges to get to the end or just getting dragged along. 9 times out of 10, I think your strategy would take you to the end, whereas I think the other finalists relied on a bit more luck than you did. You were pivotal in a lot of big moves, like taking Anna and Felix out, which would have given the majority to Anna, Claire, Felix and Linus. You weren't afraid to go after Claire when the timing was right and even though things didn't go exactly as planned, I don't blame you for that. (That was a bad decision on Christine's part :P) I think the main reason you're getting picked on by the jury is because Felix called you and I goats in the middle of the game. Since he's one of the more vocal people in this cast, I think his perception has influenced a lot of people's thoughts, even though I think we should all think independently in voting for a winner. You don't have my vote locked yet though because I want to hear what everyone has to say. In your speech you said that there are three elements to the game: social, physical and strategic. If the decision to vote for a winner was a math equation, what weight percentage would you give to each of those elements or are they all even?
