Board Thread:Season 31 - Retribution/@comment-25097517-20160309030957

Author's note: I've had this typed since final 4 and I tried to go back and edit it so if anything says something about an f3 then ignore it because we were all bamboozled with that one.

Hello Evan and Scott. It’s only been about a week since you last saw me except the difference here is that you were able to do what I wasn’t able to do, and that is make the finals. I want to start off by saying that there are no lies here and what you are getting in these speeches are my raw, not sugar-coated thoughts. Take what you want from that, I don’t have many questions but instead I want you to see how you were perceived by someone who spent A LOT of time with you.

 Evan:   I’ve decided to address you first…



 I see a lot of the past me in you, whether it’s relying on your physical abilities, or being a complete underdog, and maybe that’s why I see so much potential in you. I’m extremely proud of you for being able to make it this far, with very few genuine allies. It’s not easy to do, and you were able to pull off that final immunity, which is also something I couldn’t do in Rome.



 You’re the Miss Philippines to my Miss Colombia, and we both knew that it was either one of us that had the game on lock once the other was gone. I don’t have any hatred for you voting me out, but I want you to know that I 100% would’ve kept my promise. That has nothing to do with the rest of your gameplay but I want you to know that.



 In the game of survivor, you are meant to outwit, outplay, and outlast. You really only excelled in outlasting in the game. To quote the lovely Nick City, “Evan’s social game is usually a -15 and this season it was a 2”. I specifically remember writing a confessional complaining about the thing that you and Bryce do where you don’t open messages but you’re clearly online. It actually makes you look worse than reading and not responding because it’s quite obvious you’re purposely avoiding social interaction. The only aspect of your game that I can truly respect is your challenge scores and your idol abilities.



<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">During the unmerge, I went from calling you “golden boy” and dreading having to try and talk to you to completely changing my mindset. I really trusted you and wanted to work with you moving forward, specifically after Bryce betrayed your trust and mine by taking out Yannick and Ethan. I wanted you to trust me because I trusted you. My biggest problem with your game is you relying on your friends to the grave. Bryce <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:700;font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">betrayed <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> you, and you did try to make the battle between me and Bryce, and not you and Bryce, which is good. However, I know at the end of the day if it came down to being me vs Bryce at that first merge vote, I would have been the one leaving because you would’ve sided with Bryce. <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Bryce continuously stabbed you in the back, where as I did absolutely nothing to you. My question to you is, why was Bryce always a priority to you over me? Why did you rely on the YouTubers so much that you let yourself constantly get walked over again and again? Also, I want to know if you were faking being nice to me for the portion of the game where we were somewhat close, I really considered you to be somewhat of a friend at that point then you went back to Bryce as if it meant nothing. As of now, I only see you as a challenge beast, and someone who let his friends walk all over him. Lucky for you, that’s enough to get my vote tonight but I still want you to answer my questions.

Look at everything we’ve done together Scott. Not to mention gamewise, I got you in majority on the first vote, told you that the idol you had was fake, and was just always there for you because I really care about you.

<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;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">I had very reasonable suspicion that you and Jordan were working against me when neither one of you approached me saying you were in chats with Bryce and Taylor, when you were agreeing to voting me out and not letting me know a single word? I had every reason to believe I was being played, after all, you have voted me out in the past (even though it was bbfun and I NEVER held that against you). <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">We had a phone call the next day, where I apologized profusely for leaving you out of the vote and I explained to you that I had reasons to believe you were going against me. Evan had tried to pit Bryce and I against each other, whether it was intentional or not, and he told Bryce almost everything I said and vice versa for a round. You proceeded to let your anger out on me for 45 minutes while you were driving home from practice that one day and I just let you yell at me. I never meant to hurt you personally and you know that Scott. I told you Evan had the Tuk Tuk idol immediately after I found out and I never suspected you of anything until those chats were made behind my back.

<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;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">You saying how much I’ve hurt you hurts me a little. After all this time and the years of friendship we’ve had, you’re willing to throw it all away because of this game where may I remind you, I NEVER voted you out. I don’t know what night you are referencing in your Rights of Passage where you told me I hurt you. And when I tried to ask you, as a friend. You said and I quote <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">“ <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">Girl ur on the jury” <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">I don’t know what upsets me more, the fact that you ignored me and took me playing the game as a personal attack against you after I apologized so often and meant every word. Or when I’m out of the fucking game, and you still won’t treat me like a decent human being. I said that I was asking as a friend, not as a juror Scott, and guess what I got… not even a single word reply. <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Therefore, as you obviously don’t care about me when I tried to be your friend in a personal way, you don’t care about my genuine concern for your well being, and you think that I only care about you because of this game, I’m going to stop trying to apologize to you on a personal level because you obviously don’t fucking care about any of it so why do I even try to care about you.

<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;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:21px;">You see me as a juror, and not as a friend, therefore from this point forward, I am a juror and the fact that I care about you personally doesn’t matter anymore. Your game this season was absolutely nothing. You gave up, and you went from being someone who may have won to having no chance at my vote. Strategically, you did nothing past Jordan’s vote off. Socially, you did nothing past Jordan’s vote off. Physically, you did nothing past Jordan’s vote off. You gave up and sat here to get dragged to the end for no reason. There is a 95% chance you will not be getting my vote tonight, my vote will be going to Evan. You pushed me out of your life therefore I’m pushing my personal feelings about you out of this speech. I have no questions for you, I only request a statement stating that you read every word of this and you may respond if you wish.
