Board Thread:Season 29 - Azerbaijan/@comment-26890529-20151130225654

First of all, I'd like to congratulate the both of you on pulling off, what 18 of us couldn't. For all the shit you're undoubtedly going to get today, getting to FTC isn't an easy task whatsoever. Having said that, that was the nicest you'll hear from me today. I want you to take none of the following personal. This is a game, and what I'm about to dish out, is nothing but my perception of you in the game.

 Jared 

 Strategy: While having played an 'okay' strategic game, I feel like you give yourself too much credit. The reason, we didn't target you, wasn't because we never deemed you as a threat, but because of your Deus ex Machina, your light pearl. That thing prevented you from being voted out, just by you having bought it, and people flipping all over the place. I can think off 3 Tribal Councils, where you would have been the one to go, had you not bought that item at that auction. This is my main problem with you. I feel like you never really made a move and just coasted along with what was happening and benefitted from other people's moves. If you disagree, I'd be happy to have you prove me wrong.

 Social: I agree with you on this. You played a solid social game. You formed bonds with the people you needed to, but still managed to stay on the good side of everyone else. Unfortunately, that just isn't enough sometimes, and I feel like you only talked to approximately 4-5 people throughout this game, which is downright depressing to me.

 Physical: Amazing job on this one. You won those immunities when you really, really needed to, and you stayed under the radar for all the others.

 So overall, some are gonna call your game an under the radar one. To me, you played the role of a floater. Now that's not supposed to be an insult, it's a legitimate strategy, whether or not you tried to be one, especially when you look at who's sitting next to you right now.

 Ella 

 Strategy: This is an absolute trainwreck for me. In your speech, you take credit for pretty much every move anyone else has made, and I'm gonna call you out on every single one. You didn't organize the Jaylen blindside, because from what I've heard, that was the Five Guys' alliance. I would give you credit for playing double agent for the rebels, but you kinda messed that up, by making that fake idol for Rob. Next up, why in the world would you think you had a part in orchestrating Nick's vote-off? That was solely Nifty and Clifford, why give yourself credit for that? You were also not the one to come up with the idea of telling Nifty to vote Hunter, that was Clifford. Last but definitely not least, and I even told you this, idolling Clifford out was not your move whatsoever. You act like you came up with the idea, when I've been thinking about it for like a week, and the only reason I mentioned you in that idol speech, was because I didn't want you to flip on me (which you did anyway), because that's what Ella does when things don't go her way. Saying things like “ Jared got saved by Felix with the idol of him after being told by me to do that.”, when it's not even true, doesn't really help your cause. You didn't organize any eliminations at the merge, except maybe mine and the reason you never got any votes until very late in the game, was because literally everyone would have liked to sit next to you at FTC, because I struggle to remember any big moves you made. Your gameplay was all over the place, and you lied to pretty much every single person in the game at some point, whereas Jared didn't.



Social: You tried to come off as this sweet, bubbly girl, that couldn't hurt a fly, and made alliances with pretty much everyone on Baku 2.0. To be honest, I really liked you, until the merge that is. The main thing I didn't appreciate was the fact, that you were kicking people while they were down. You knew Jessica and Clifford were going home, yet you went out of your way to publicly call them out, while they were practically outta the door already. Another thing you LOVED to do, was victimizing yourself, making yourself out to be the good gal, when you really weren't. Examples include the two listed above, and also my vote-off, where you made me feel like shit, before ramming that knife in my back. Lastly, you were very moody. There were about 3-4 points in the game, where you asked me, to give you my idol, because “you haven't found one yet”, and you'd get mad at me, every fucking time when I (obviously) wouldn't. You might be the sweetest girl outside of this game, but inside of it, you gave me the impression of a spoiled brat, because I've been told you'd get mad at people, when they wouldn't do your bidding or go along with your plan. Other than that, you did make more friends than Jared, so Kudos for that.



Physical: Not much to say here, you won one challenge (albeit that was an impressive win), but Jared won three, so Jared has the edge here.



If there are things you disagree on, feel free to prove me otherwise, because my opinion is not the definitive one, and there may be parts, I'm not right about.
