First off, I’d like to say congrats for making it to the finals. No matter what I or anyone else says, you clearly deserve it because you got there and we didn’t. We did something wrong that you guys didn’t. I’d also like to say I am NOT bitter. Well, I am a little bitter that I typed of this beautiful speech for you guys, and it got deleted, but that’s beside the point! Anyway, this also in no way means I don’t have criticisms of your games just like the rest of the jury. So let’s get started.

Scott- Congrats, buddy. You made it. I got somewhat close to you towards the end of the game right before I left, and I want you to know that I really meant all of it. It wasn’t just for game. I really was concerned and wanted to talk to you about what was going on in your life. I’m glad we got to have those conversations. You’re a great guy, but unfortunately for you, that does not mean you have my vote tonight.

I told you right before I left that if you wanted any chance of winning you had to do something, get to the end with Boo and Lucas, and give a good jury speech. I understand it was hard to beat Evan, and I would hope you would have taken him out if he wasn’t immune, but sadly, you didn’t really do all that much.

Your FTC performance so far has been sad to say the least. You haven’t proven why you actually deserve to win. You didn’t explain any thought you had throughout each week or vote. You blamed your lack of action all on being seen as a goat. You said there was nothing you could do without becoming the target. And that is BS! You SO could have made a move. You had opportunities to do something that nobody would expect. You decided to block out Grace when you could have easily worked with her again. You took the vote against Jordan too personally. Plus, even if it would have made you a bigger target to speak up and make a move, it’s still better than… ummm… sitting there and doing NOTHING!!! It’s just frustrating. It’s better to go out knowing you played as hard as you possibly could have than to make it to the end with nothing to show for it. So I would like you to prove to me what you did in the game to deserve to win. What were your thoughts as the game went along? What were your failed plans? I need something from you. I really like you, but it’s going to be hard to vote for you.

Also, I want to know about the final 6 vote when I went home. If Grace had waited to vote, realized I was being honest with her, and then decided to save me, would you have voted Lucas out over me? Or were you always planning on siding with Evan?

But good job! You did something right to get there. It just probably won’t be enough to win.

Evan- Ahhh…. Evan. So first I would like to say very good job at winning immunity and finding idols left and right. It proves just how dedicated you were, and I respect that!

Ahhh!!! But but but!!! I absolutely HATE it when people win challenges and play idols all the way to the end to win. I despise Mike Holloway, and unfortunately, you are Mike Holloway 2.0. You made a few bad decisions that put you in a position where your only choice was to win challenges. You were only vulnerable at the final 9, which is impressive, but really only shows you were good in one area of the game. I think the unmerge twist really benefitted you.

Your social game was meh. It was decent. It was just… ok. I didn’t hate you though, so that is a positive! Hahaha As for strategy, it was kind of hard for you to do much because of your position, but you put yourself in that position. It was your own fault. You made yourself into this huge target premerge. You had some control premerge, but you played way too hard and messed yourself up. Your speech kind of helped me see more of your thought process, so I don’t really have questions for you. You deserve to win in this final 2… 3… and 4. Hahaha But I don’t think the way you did it was all that great. But… at the end of the day, you’re there. None of us are, and congrats. You earned it.



SO THAT IS IT, GUYS! Don’t take any of this too personally. I respect you both and good job. I don’t agree with how you got there, but you did it in your own ways.

My last “question” is for BOTH of you! I would like you to compare all 13 players that made the merge to the 13 players from Cambodia’s merge!!! =D None of the Cambodia players can be used more than once. It might be difficult but it works. And that also mean comparing yourself and eachother to a player. Good luck!
