Yo hey party people!!!

'''Congrats to all three of you for making it this far! I’m really proud of you all and I think you should be proud of yourselves! This has been such a fun game, and I’ll certainly be proud to think back and know that I was a part of it!'''

I’m going to follow on with the usual trend of directing my comments at you one by one, because it’s simply easier :-). You have my apologies in advance for the obnoxious length of this speech. I think I’ve warned you all before that I’m an especially ranty person, and that is certainly evident here. 

Marty!

'''I’m not sure if you’re expecting my vote to be honest, because our relationship during the game was an interesting one. I actually looked back and read through our conversations and realised that you directly lied to me like 90% of the time. This was regarding votes, thoughts about votes, thoughts about the game etc. Overall, looking back I was genuinely surprised at how dishonest you were, especially given that I was typically honest with you (apart from the time we voted for one another). Please believe me when I say that I’m not going to vote emotionally here, I’m not bitter at you for lying to me and I don’t hold it against you, because I know it’s a part of the game. You also have to understand however, that perception is everything to jurors. Others have said that you played a good game, and I believe them given that you’re sitting in F3 quite comfortably. With that said, my perception of your game is that you played 100% deceitfully, so my questions relate to that first and foremost:'''

'''Q1: Simply, why did you feel you needed to lie to me that much? Was it because you saw me as a threat or because that’s your playstyle?'''

Q2: Did you lie to others in the game the same way?

'''Q3: Do you believe lying is an essential aspect of this game? Would it be possible for someone to win a Survivor ORG whilst remaining 100% truthful?'''

'''Again, keep in mind that I’m not salty at you for lying to me!! I understand that it was a part of your game, and in your shoes other may play in the same way. I’m not asking you these questions to have a go, I just want to understand your playstyle in this game beyond our relationship. It was a pleasure playing with you, and congratulations for making it to this stage of the game! You were an underdog who cruised through UTR and I’m impressed to see that you shook off the perception of the testo-gang and made it to this point. '''

Harrison!

'''I’m not sure what to say here, because I have hugely mixed feelings about your game. Firstly congratulations, because I do believe you deserve a place in the final 3. You had a strong game and you were socially aware, although I believe your perception was questionable at times. I was particularly impressed by your ability to throw votes off yourself, and as at the time of my own vote, I saw you as a strong contender to win. However I got the impression that you stopped caring about the game after that. I understand and appreciate more than most that work getting in the way can make things incredibly hard. Particularly with regard to challenges that require a larger time investment; however of the votes that did go down, aside from you remaining safe and not being directly targeted, I didn’t see you do a great deal. As I write this, however I’m also trying to consider what you could have done differently, and how I would have played were I in your shoes and what I would have done. I can’t call your game UTR because I don’t believe you ever were. I also can’t call you a huge #threat because I don’t believe you fit that meta either, so my questions to you are based around the game you played and the game you could have played:'''

'''Q1: What do you think was the most notable thing you did this game? Ideally if you can make this something post-Juliet vote I’d appreciate it, as I think I’m aware of your impact that vote. If not that’s fine though. Also please note that I don’t think a game requires game changing #moves to be successful, I’m just asking out of curiosity.'''

Q2: If there was one thing you could change about your game, or do differently, what would it be and why?

Q3: Was it always your intention to place yourself in the middle between the testo-gang and “our side” or was that a position you feel you fell into?

'''Congratulations again and thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me throughout the game. I loved chatting to you and respect you a lot and it makes me really happy to see that you’ve made it to the end :-)'''

Declan!

'''Congratulations on a game well played. It was truly my honour to play with you, and to develop our wonderful friendship. I’m truly impressed that someone was able to dominate two of the core survivor skills (social and physical) so well in their first ORG. I think you have a few advantages over the other finalists in that firstly, whilst your game was underrated I did go into jury singing your praises a lot, and secondly your moves and your control was overall more visible than the other finalists. That said, I think one of the important things to note about Survivor is that it’s not always the player with perceived control who played the best game. Oftentimes it’s the underrated UTR players who did a LOT, but don’t get that credit. I know that when I’ve been sitting as a finalist, I often notice the jury not giving my opponents or myself credit for things that we are due credit for, so one of my questions relates to that. Another question of mine relates directly to your physical ability. I think it’s fantastic that you played the game you did, in the way you did. Winning 4 immunities in a row is no mean feat, and you should certainly feel proud of yourself, however I wonder what your game plan was should have have lost immunity at any point during the pre-merge or merge period. You and I were both almost entirely immune pre-merge, so from my perspective the window for others to target you was limited to ~4-5 votes. '''

'''Q1: What would you have done had you lost immunity on each of your pre-merge tribes? Can you talk me through the relationships you had, and how you would have played it?'''

Q2: Did you have that immunity run planned, and what made you so confident you could pull it off?

'''Q3: Do you think the jury is missing anything about Marty and Harrison’s games? Alternatively, do you think they are receiving any undeserved credit?'''

'''Q4 (personal question, feel free not to answer): On a more personal note, I gave you my idol when I was evicted but was told afterwards that had Trey decided to tie the votes, you would have voted me to counter this. I’m curious to know whether this is true and how much of our chats and discussion that day was purely so that I would give you my idol, and how much was genuine (not salty at all, just wondering).'''

'''Once again, thank you for being such a great friend. I’ll be disappointed if we don’t maintain that after this game is over, as I think you’re an outstanding person and I’ve enjoyed getting to know you greatly!!!'''

'''To all of you, please know that you are speaking to the least bitter jury I have ever seen. Please don’t interpret any of the questions you are being asked as attacks, because honestly I see all of these people as those who genuinely want to know and understand more about your games so that they can make an informed decision. All of us want to know that we are voting for the person we believe to be deserving of Sole Survivor, and no one is here trying to destroy your games. I know it’s difficult to cop criticism and being defensive is really natural, so I wanted to make that clear. Each of you has a game to be proud of and the jury knows that!'''

'''Finally on a personal note, thank you to the hosts for putting up this incredible season. I know from the outside it may have looked a bit mundane, but rest assured that almost all of those who played enjoyed themselves greatly and invested themselves into this game, and that’s something you can take with you as you keep hosting. It’s a thankless job, and you should know that I appreciate everything that you have done and would gladly play a game hosted by you again. '''
