 Choose one person on the jury and tell us all why he deserves to be here more than you do (Because I don’t want anyone schmoozing me for my vote, DO NOT select me as an answer)

 I would choose Miggy 

''' Miggy had a great social game going on back on Silla and was eventually targeted when all other people outside of the Korea Alliance were out of the game. He managed to put his hands on the Ring of Duality twice and win immunity out of nowhere when needed the most. He gave me the feeling he's a person I can trust to the very end and feel comfortable sitting next to him at the FTC, despite being a dominant powerhouse post-merge. If it wasn't for you (who I would choose, if I could) Miggy was sitting at the Final 3 tonight. Either next to me, or instead of me.'''



You seem to be a very good “under the radar player” but the problem with under the radar players is that they can be viewed as a person who just watched things unfold before them without making any strategies of your own. If you want to win, you need to prove to us that though you were an under the radar player, you also had a strong control over what happened in the game.



I believe my speech would answer your question better, but I can summarize.

'''Being under the radar actually gave me more control over the game than had I been over the top. The dominant players, and you being one of them, never want to act as dictators - They always prefer to please the majority and give the feeling they are not the one calling the shots. While most UTR players indeed prefer to watch the game unfold and get orders, I always made sure when I go to tribal, the vote will go down my way.'''

The best examples would be:

- Cassels's boot, where I managed to flush Monkey's idol.

- Monkey's boot, where I managed to vote out a member of the SS and 2 of their artifacts without taking the blame for betrayal.

- Max's boot, where I was the only person who wanted Max gone, but managed to form a majority against him despite a wide resistance.

- Hunter's boot, where I managed to change the plan from Ivan to Hunter at the last moment, and keep it that way even after Hunter played his mask on Ivan.



<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;"> I told you a bold faced lie at the final 6 and that lie was that Aston had an idol. You had 2 idols in your pocket and you knew that Aaron had the other (Even if you didn’t know that Aaron had the white idol, I’m pretty sure that you know that it’d be impossible for a Aston, who’s never been on the White tribe to get their idol). Why didn’t you call me out on the spot and why did you allow me to make my move to blindside Miggy?

<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;">''' It is true that I knew Aston doesn't have any idol. Knowing you are lying to me in order to get Miggy out, there were only 2 things I could've done: '''

<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;">''' - Confess about having the idol, which would put a target on my back and give you an opportunity to counter it later on. Let alone the fact you had the numbers to blindside him anyway. '''

<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;">''' - Play one of my idols for Miggy, which would result in Aston's elimination. Knowing you had full control over Aaron and Ryan, going into the Final 5 in this situation would be a no brainer. '''

<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;">''' Either way, I wouldn't have been in any better position had I stopped you from blindsiding Miggy. Letting you pull that move would give you the feeling you had full control over the game, which is exactly how I wanted you to be. Going against you moments before the time to blindside you, could easily thwart my move. '''

<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:16px;line-height:20px;">Now, I want to give you 3 the opportunity to freely throw someone under the bus. I want each of you to tell me exactly why this 1 person should not receive my vote or rather, why he should not receive any votes at all.

<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;">

<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;">I would choose Aaron

<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;">I think Aaron had a lot of power in this game - possessing an idol that almost nobody knew about and a mask, getting certain people to trust him and having a decent challenge performance.

<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;">However, I feel like he never really had the ability to channel all this power into any strategical moves that would benefit him or earn him some credit coming into the FTC.

<p dir="LTR" style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:21pt;">Well, he did try to get me out at the final 4, but I think that falls under the "Too Little, Too Late" category.
