Board Thread:Season 41 - Bali/@comment-31720975-20170703164910

 Well, Hello guys. I think the sentiment here on the jury, is definitely that the 3 of you, have played pretty weakly, rode coattails, and would have lost to nearly everyone on the jury unanimously. However, i’m not bitter, you all made it here in your own ways, I had good social relationships with 2 of you, and at the end of the day, someone needs to win, and I want that to be the most deserving person, so here we go.



 I’ll start with Danielle ,



















 Of the 3 of the finalists, I definitely had the least personal relationship with you. Neither of us saw each-other in our end game plans, so really, I respect the move that you made

 However, the perception seems to be that you were ultimately playing for 3rd place. While you did take David out at final 4, that was an obvious move. Anyone with 1 brain cell would have had the sense to make that move at that point in the game. So I have a few questions

 Another issue with your gameplay, is yes, letting overs making the moves for you, can be a brilliant strategy, however your name continued to be thrown out numerous times, and you clearly did not have a social relationship with many of the people on the cast..
 * 1)  Without the idol playing culminating in Tyler’s blindside, what were your end game plans? Did you plan to go with Tyler/David and only changed this when Tyler left? As you would have lost to both, pretty easily. Were you playing for 3rd place and this only changed towards the end?
 * 2) <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> It appears Tyler presented you with the information throughout the game, and you just followed. Can you, before his blindside, pin-point one move that you spearheaded? Or had a large influence over?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Numerous times, you could have gone home, if a person played an idol. For instance, at final 8, it was your name that Nadine wrote down, showing even when she was out of the loop, your name was clearly out there.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> 3. What social relationships did you build, apart from within Brawn and how did it help your game?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Is it true you faked tantrums, and this attitude of wanting to quit the game was false? Why were you ok with letting this negative perception be on you? When you could have tried to allow someone else in the alliance take the brunt? All it did was provide the perception that you had no real interest in the game and were following.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> 4. Was this a strategy? To allow you to be the one who would take the negative heat within the alliance

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Regardless though, congratulations. I think you have a very strong chance of picking up numerous votes, and I personally have no ill feeling towards you. It’s a game and we just weren’t on the same page.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Nadine, 

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Me and you built a very personal relationship during the merge I loved all of the chats we had together and i’m glad you enjoyed my advice! and I hope to continue it outside the game. I’m proud of your idol play, your immunity wins to fight your way to the FTC, and the fact you have made it to the end, despite being an underdog throughout.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> However, your motivation in the game seems lacking, why should i reward someone who doesn’t seem to care whether they win? When numerous people on the jury would have loved to have been in your position, and fought for their win.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I have a few questions

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I’d also like to take the time to defend your social game though. None of the 3 finalists, can argue they had a stellar social game, and all were lacking in some aspects. For instance, Danielle didn’t have a great relationship with me, Max was lacking in some areas. While you had good relationships with me, Ting, Elmo, Hannah. So i think it’s unfair for your social game to be consistently criticized.
 * 1) <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Is it true Ting informed you of the idol play at final 6? Or did you pick up on the hints?
 * 2) <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> What were your end game plans? I wholeheartedly planned to take you to the end, and i’d be interesting in seeing what your thoughts were on end game ideally.
 * 3) <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Ultimately, do you want to win? I love you as a person, but it’s difficult for me to cast this vote, when the motivation doesn’t seem to be there.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I just want to say well done, I am proud of your end game, and you did work to get there.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Max, Max, Max, where do I begin..

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I want to start with saying I am SO proud of you, of the 3 finalists, I definitely feel the closest to you, we formed an alliance on day 1, and i never suspected you would make it this far, the odds were against you from the beginning, truly.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> But there's some problems with your game, and ultimately it hurts me, and does make it hard for me to cast the vote, as much as I adore you as a person.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Ultimately, me saving you numerous times, was a huge detriment to my game, and is the entire reason I was blindsided. If i had just sat back, and allowed you to be taken out at final 9, I would not be sitting on the jury so early..

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> So it’s difficult for me. I stuck my neck out for you SO many times in this game, do you acknowledge that? I feel early in the merge I was gaming so hard, and you were kind of just sitting back, waiting for me to tell you the move, and allowing me to completely protect you.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> If i had sat back, you would have been eliminated 3rd, and placed 19th. The entire beauty tribe wanted you gone due to you not submitting for the challenge, but i shifted the vote to Emily, and convinced the others in beauty to save you.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I saved you at the merge vote, arguing throughout my alliances that you were a better asset than Hannah.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Then I saved you at the final 9 vote, to my own demise.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I had to fill you in on numerous alliances, Elmo having an idol etc, my social relationships definitely provided you with the information

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> That’s 3 times, during the game, that your fate wasn’t ultimately your own

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> So

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
 * 1) <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Do you acknowledge the role i played in saving you throughout the game? And would you say your game was definitely weaker at the beginning and later picked up?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> However, I left in 8th place, and you’ve made it here, and i can’t express how proud i am. I was 100% taking you to the end, and I hope you feel the same way and we can be great friends outside this. You DEFINITELY do not deserve the criticism you have received. People in glass houses should not be the one throwing stones around here, especially in regards to leaks... You were by far one of the most respectable, and kind hearted people I played with on this season, and that’s something which is underestimated around here.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I want to give you a chance to explain more of your game after I left, as the majority of the jury do note, how i protected you throughout the game

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> 2. After I left, how did you continue to survive? What were the fundamental moves you made to solidify yourself in a f3 where you do have the chance to win

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Finally i’d like to make a case for your loyalty. Throughout the backstabbing in beauty, the conflict of me and Alexandra, me turning on Elmo etc, you remained completely loyal, and personally I think that’s something which should be to your credit.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> You never lied to me, you never lied to your alliances, you were honest, and loyal even to your own fault at times. You were someone I always knew had my back, and i can’t thank you enough for that.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> I want to wish you the best of luck, and I really am proud that you are sitting there. People constantly called you a goat throughout the game, talked of how you had no shot, well it’s funny how those are now on the jury. You should be proud of how you’ve made it here. I mean it certainly seems a messy game, but it got you here

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> Congratulations, I adore you as a person
