'Were you the one who started the vote on Drew? '

Did I ever say I was? No! But I WAS the person in the middle, as I have always intended to be, and I came to my own decision to vote out Drew due to finding out about his idol amongst other reasons. I was the vote that swung it against him, I was the one playing both sides and being totally included in both sides plans. Drew was my target that round, there's no doubt about it.

'Did you stand to save Dovile, which is something you claim to have wanted? '

You used in one of your many pieces of questionable evidence that "roisin is insistent on sticking with dovile." You know as well as I do that I did a lot to try and save Dovile; but do you really think I was about to ostracise myself from the rest of the tribe by voting in the tiniest of minorities? My game is based on flowing with the majority; doing such a thing would be inconsistent with my overall gameplay, and undermine my performance here today. There's a reason I'm here now - because I never put myself in the minority by doing something like that!

You act as if it was YOU who did it, though.

I really really really don't! There's a difference between acknowledging that actually there are some benefits to what I did and CLAIMING this move. I have never done such a thing; all I have done is say how I approached the vote incorrectly, but actually it was a decent move to go with the vote in and of itself. To attempt to make such a leap is evidence of the vulnerable position you're feeling in right now.

 for someone who, per what YOU said in the tribe chat at F7, campaigned for Vincent to leave, why is he your ideal F3?

This is being totally exaggerated; the only reason Vincent became a target was because Matthias had already voted for him and he couldn't change his vote, and at this point in the game I was aligned with him and me and him were at risk; it was never my desire to vote Vincent out, it was simply a momentary potential defensive plan. At the end of the day we still worked together on this vote and stayed safe which was our aim. Credit goes to Hals for the Louise vote, she is the one who stood up and did that - I don't care about admitting that!!

'Yes, you needed his vote for Matthias. Where you failed to secure it, I did.'

Honestly I don't know how many times I need to say this. I'm going to repeat the excerpt that you brought up on Dan's post:

EXCERPT 3 - Finally sold Vincent on the vote where Roisin failed to; he walked into the conversation saying despite what she wanted, Jack was his personal preference and walked out wanting to vote Matthias to keep us safe.

Vincent

I don't mean to distract you from the report but Roisin wants to vote Matthias

Jake

i know dshjfkjfs

what do u think

Vincent

It's between him and Jack

Jake

i'd say he's the easiest route tbqh

Vincent

Personally I would prefer to vote Jack but Matthias is almost as good

And would be way easier

Jake

i know that's where i'm at

matthias is a lot easier

This LITERALLY shows that the reason you fixed on Matthias rather than Jack as you had previously been discussing, was because I had said to Vincent I was voting him. Like... you brought it up to prove your point but it just proves mine. The order of events goes: ''Vincent wants to vote Jack --> Roisin tells Jake and Vincent she is voting Matthias --> Jake decides to vote Matthias, which Vincent follows. ''If you cannot see, that this directly links what I did with Matthias going, then I think honestly that's quite naive of you, Jake.

But you backtracked on this opinion after Dan's prompt, which referenced your dictation as a hindrance to your social game, indicating your "awareness" is another player's commentary and not your own intuition.

Firstly, this is literally the most minor point ever and epitomises your arguments are becoming. Secondly, social game and jury management are connected even though obviously they both have their differences; they often go hand in hand though. Thirdly, if that is so then thank you Dan for letting me know, but I've always known my social game was a flaw as I said in my speech!

if you'd faced a similar situation to what myself, Dovile, Louise, and Jack navigated, I don't know that you would've survived.

Looking for arguments in hypothetical situations that didn't even happen is again quite embarrassing, it kinda implies you've ran out of actual arguments to use. Like trust me, there are lots you could choose from my real game, you don't need to go literally making them up and imagining them!!

Because I don't think they do.

Well luckily the risk worked out for me, so it's all good!

He can call it insecurity with my own game all he wants; the common theme (again) is Jake being unable to own his OWN GAME which I've had no problem doing. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but I own them; Jake just tries to create a game that didn't happen. I know the jurors have probably stopped reading by now but I really hope you manage to get a chance to think over this all, ty and I hope it was enough to get your vote Dovile since I've truly been honest every step of the way this final tribal council, which you highlighted as important in your speech!!
