Hey y'all! I'm not super bitter but sorry if I am a little. I am completely undecided tbh, I have some preferences but the way you guys finish this FTC is really gonna decide my vote. Sorry if this focuses on how you interacted with me and my vote and stuff cuz I am conceited and also everyone else is asking broad stuff a lot so im gonna try to narrow stuff down

~ETHAN~

Hey Ethan I'm just going to start with you. So overall, I think you played a pretty decent game. Five immunities is incredibly impressive, for me its not going to be something driving my vote but it will be in the back of my head for sure cuz thats quite the accomplishment.

People have already praised u a bit and everyone knows what you did well so im just gonna jump into my gripes...social game with me personally. We definitely did have some good conversations like you said in ROP. U even remembered my gfs name which was impressive and shared it with everyone! But I also felt like there was a lot of times you were not genuine. Especially at the Final 6, I had just voted out Elmo who was completely loyal to me to help prove loyalty and yet you still doubted what I was saying. You also misconstrued the fact that I said I threw one challenge and made it sound like to people i'd thrown all of them and thats why you targeted me and I went. Idk Im not super bitter. i just think u got high off of ur own lies about me being a challenge threat. I can promise i was never beating you in any of these and I think honestly not dragging me along might hurt you tonight because I might've been easier to beat than these two, we will see.

Sorry I dont really have a question in there I just had to get it off my chest cuz yeah, idk just like everyone knew I had nothing and yet you lied to me and said you were gonna keep me in, and then after the deadline told me. If you had been honest with me I would probably be a lot more inclined to vote for you tonight. but honestly I just feel a tad burned by you and its making me not sympathetic with all the lovely things youre saying tonight. You played a good game and everything and I understand the passion you have, but in my opinion we ALL had massive passion for this game since we all committed dozens of hours to it so I'm not really gonna focus too much on that. I'll be honest, you just need to be more honest, and especially in my questions please dont bullshit! I want full honesty.

My question for ETHAN:

A) Was there any other motive behind my vote besides thinking i was some undercover challenge beast, or was it rlly just that?

-

Next, ~JAKE~

Hey jake! ill be completely transparent here, you are definitely the person I feel most inclined to voting for tonight. You just seem to be completely genuine so far and owning up to all your moves and lack of moves in some cases which is great. I think you're doing the best at FTC so far although none of you three are completely bombing.

To be honest I don't have as much to say to you as these other two because I think I have the least to say to you. I agree with some people's gripes about you not being very active/social but at the end of the day I think you were social enough with me personally so I wont hold that as hard against you as some others. I like ur UTR style but I do have a problem with it

You even admitted that it was not ur plan for Ethan to be here, and I wanna jump off of a question that Natalia asked you and that I feel you didnt answer completely.

-

Question for JAKE:

A) you said you never really had a chance to use ur advantages for something and had a long ramble about it, but in the end did you never consider using them at like the Final 7 or Final 8 to pull off a move? You very well knew that you needed to get to the end with people like me karsten and andrea and not yousef elmo and ethan, and yet you just passed up opportunities to take out threats, like u and andrea went along with voting out Natalia but she just wanted threats out too. I feel like you had the opportunity to make a big move the most out of all of us smaller players with those advantages and yet you didnt, and thats the biggest issue i have thats preventing me from voting for you. So basically: why didnt you try to make a move earlier, and try to get someone like Ethan out who you knew would cream us in challenges?

-

Finally, ANDREA!

I wanna start off by saying im not bitter at you at all about my vote, i know i was going either way and im sorry i went off on you a lil after the deadline that was uncalled for. I know i was screwed so that doesnt really matter to me. Anyway moving on!

I sympathize with some of your points about not being able to win any challenges, and having to use your social and strategic games even harder than others who can rely on that challenge skill to support them. So if you had strong strategic and social games i would be voting you for sure because i do like you, but i have some issues with ur game

To reiterate what elmo said in his speech, the biggest issue i have socially with ur game is that u lowkey ostracized a lot of the people on the bottom. The moment you found out i leaked bradley's name, it was just like you flipped a switch and it never felt like our convos were as genuine as they were before that. Like im not asking u to tell me all ur strategic secrets, just like i felt like you felt like u didnt have time for me. I get you were busy but it just seemed like to me and lots of the other people who weren't in ur majority the whole game that u ostracized us, so i would like u to address why u did that, and if u do it in elmos question well just feel free to tell me to look there LOL

overall i think people have this perception of you being goaty because u were busy, which is real life i get but u also did decide to play the game so im not gonna give u a total pass on that front just cuz of work/school. Also u and yousef both claim that u were both equal partners but i think its hard for the rest of us to see that becuz its very easy for u both to claim that just cuz u two are close. I think you definitely played a better game than some are giving u credit for but thats my opinion why people are maybe underrating ur game in ur POV.

-

Question for ANDREA:

A) please give us one big example of a move you directed that you didnt do with yousef's aid/alongside him. I get this might be hard but just try to find something, anything that u did without working in tandem with him cuz that might make it easier for ppl to accept u played a strong independent game

-

Now, QUESTIONS FOR ALL! Im digging out the dirt

A) If you could handle the elimination of one contestant besides me differently, whose elimination would it have been?

B) Which one of us jurors deserves to win the least had we made FTC?

C) What did you hate most about me?

-

OK THIS IS A BIGGIE SO LISTEN UP: Y'all are talking a lot, I know this is hypocritical because I talked a lot but this is my only chance to speak, yall have a lot more chances and a lot of u r typing up massive essays. Therefore the word limit for each response is 200 WORDS, I repeat 200 WORDS. That means ur final response can be 850 words, 4 questions + 50 extra words to be kind, if ur final response exceeds 850 words u auto lose my vote.

-

one last note to u all: if ur gonna kiss some asses, kiss them all or dont at all! remember that, this is gonna be a close vote so make sure u dont regard anyones vote as useless cuz everyones vote is gonna be crucial imo even if they were goaty or quiet or an early juror. ok bye! <3 sorry this was so long
