Board Thread:Season 25 - Rome/@comment-24985023-20150408001757

Well well well, hello hello hello!

This is my favorite part of the game. Final Effing Tribal Council.



First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS to all three of you. You have done what 18 people could not do. All of the people in the jury wanted a taste of what you have right now. And most of the people who are pre jury boots as well. A lot of people would love to be in your position. (That is why) I want to start with BRITTANY.

BRITTANY, you played a Grade F, horrendous, full-of-excuses, sympathy-looking, uninteresting game in Survivor Rome: Fans vs Favorites.

We met each other after the tribe swap at the new Titus, and I immediately pushed myself to connect with you. That was the time when you were crying over the roasts saying Caracalla 2.0 hit you under the belt with the whole weight and fuckboy thing and you became super upset about it. I was there to genuinely rescue you and tell you that despite the comments which seemed inappropriate, you were still a darling in my eyes.

Our love story went along, with me always keeping tabs on you. I always had to give it my all because I was put on a tribe with lots of fans and lesser favorites. I had to work my way up the social ladder by being in the good graces of you and Domonique. And it worked; me and Jamie were spared and Fans Cameron and Koror's dream of making it far were obliterated, shattered to pieces. They were voted out because of their challenge performances. Which when I come to think of it, you aren't as big as a challenge dominator as well. You are just at par with Cameron or Koror. Remember the Word Puzzle challenge? I sat my ass off for nine hours in order to secure our tribe the victory, because I knew I was on the chopping block after Queen Hanne, a favorite, left. Then I checked on your score, you just said, you submitted a horrible score. And I would agree with you, your challenge performance throughout the entire game is HORRIBLE. Now people may be asking why? You will claim that it is because of Midterm Exams, Family Problems, Dog Duties etc etc etc. WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING SIGNING UP FOR A SLOT IN THE MAIN ORG?

And you were not the only person who is entitled to these sob stories while playing the game. Every single one of us encountered difficulty in real life while we defended our place in the game. But NOONE DID AS SHITTY AS YOU. It was like you didn't really care whenever I ask you about it.

Come merge, I wanted to make a stronger bond with you. You were vocal in figuring out the straight guy in the bunch because you wanted a showmance. And yes, we flirted, and exchanged naughty things, if that is what you want to do for me to earn your trust more. Banking in the fact that I feel like you had no care about the game and you may just string along people that you like. I had nothing to lose. The Favorites were a mess. I was becoming yet again, an underdog. But your flirting seemed like a glimmer of hope.

I would like to apologize if you were asked to see a counselor after I told you I had an idol during my vote off. I sent you a screenshot of a fake idol, which was actually Jamie's idol. And during that time, I was like, YOU ARE NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS GAME.

You had a lot of mood swing flashes, you subject yourself to constant flirting that is why people have screenshots of you asking for Dicks, and you never gave it your all in challenges, or even in the strategic aspect of the game. And that is very disappointing.

When it was my time to go, I asked you if there is any way that you can save me. You just said: "I can't risk my game for you, I'm sorry" You mean to say you have a game in you? Surprising! Didn't you just literally give up when Ethan was voted out publicly announcing that you can not win over me, or Ricky or Domonique?

I have no questions for you, Britt. So you do not have to push yourself into something you were not committed to, to begin with. I will just speak in behalf of the people who would fight to have your position, '''BRITTANY. DO NOT JOIN IN ANY MORE SURVIVOR ORGS...EVER. '''You are always sad throughout this game that if Corrine Kaplan is playing with us, I am pretty sure she will give you a handful of antidepressants. The best ORG suited for you is a BACHELOR themed ORG where it is all about the fuckboys and flirting.



Let's move on with... DOMONIQUE!

Domonique, you are a queen. You are strategic, you are social, you are clearly not a goat nor a sheep. You won challenges, you played idols correcty, you took a goat and a sheep with you to the end. **CLAPS CLAPS**

Saying the abovementioned paragraph would seem that I am throwing my vote on you. Not gonna be that easy, Dom. Let us just say that I am gearing towards voting for you. If you will be able to address my speech in a satisfactory manner. Yes, unlike Britt, I have lots of questions for you.

I promised in my exit speech that I am going to address some, if not all, of the controversies our ORG season is facing. Now I am going to ask you for your thoughts with people saying ROME IS RIGGED FOR DOMONIQUE.

I do not necessarily believe this is the case, but there was a point during the game that it crossed my mind. But some people in the game, in the jury or even outside of the game were sure that this statement is a fact. And I do not want to vote for you if you will just let this slide and not address these as well.

So let us begin.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU, DOMONIQUE, ARE YOUR THOUGHT PROCESSES during these events.

''And I just narrowed it down to the ones I thought are legit fishy. Like people will say of course Domonique will win the know the hosts thing or win the challenges or whatnot. PEOPLE, shut the fuck up and give it to her. I've known Domonique enough for me to know that she is one hell of a challenge Goddess.''

Narrate to me what you felt and what you thought during the following scenario in the game:

1. IDOL PLAY DURING THE JAMIE BOOT. This was the day I was exploring the Survivor Islands in Cagayan. I didn't partake much in the politics that day, but from what I know - it was supposed to be a straight Ethan vote, and no idols are going to be played, at least from our alliance. Tell me how you got an inkling of idea to play the idol on your self during this vote?

2. AUCTION ITEMS. Our Ice Cream alliance had a short discussion that: Topaz will bid for the Double Vote, Brittany will bid for the HII Clue, I will bid on the covered items, and you and Ricky will both bid on the Mask of Restrict to better our odds in getting this. But all of a sudden, hours before the auction is closed, you decided to bid on the covered items as well. Not only that, you got all the good ones like you were one of the luckiest lollipop in the world. Tell me your thought process on dismissing betting on the mask of restrict and your choice of covered items in this auction.

3. IDOL PLAY NUMBER 2. I lived up to what Topaz and I had been planning on F7: to flip to Ethan, Grace and Josh. And since you blindsided me and Topaz, I had an easy reason to do that. However, I could have sworn my life to this, me, Ethan, Grace and Josh did everything lowkey during this episode. We agreed to vote an hour before the deadline, stop sending confessionals, or at least send generic ones and continue to be all pleasant on you and Britt and Ricky. However, when the votes were read, hallelujah, Domonique played another idol, and she played it perfectly on herself. Now, explain to me your thought process on this, because I for one, did not give you any shady conversation which will make you think I am going to vote for you.

Now, if in any of those three incidences I enumerated, you feel you have to reveal that there were times when you did not play fair, I will be very disappointed but happy with your honesty. I do not want Rome to be tainted with this reputation as I've had the best time out here. But at the end of the day, I want to clear these up before our season ends, and who's better suited to clear these up except you.

'''Moving on... Domonique Part 2'''

You know I love you, and we connected very well in this game. But you ditched me not once, not twice, but thrice. First, you told me I was on the outs at Titus 2.0 and you can't do anything about it. That made me work my ass off 9 hours in that Word Puzzle. Secondly, you and me got a Final Two deal which you initiated. But later on, you went back to me telling me our deal is off. And at that point, I have not done anything to you to ditch me like that. You made me feel like shit. Thirdly, during my vote off, you promised to tell me if you can not save me so everything is cool. But you have forgotten to tell me. Like it was not really a big deal, I knew from the paranoid panicking Brittany I was going, but I expected it to come from you. Nonetheless, I appreciated your honesty. And knowing the honest person that you are, I believe you will be able to narrate the truth and nothing but the truth.

Another question for you Domonique, at the end of it all, let us say Ricky is proclaimed the ultimate sole Survivor of Survivor Rome: Fans vs Favorites 2. '''Why would you think this happened? What made majority of the jury members vote for him, and not you?'''



'''RICKY. 'Okay during my vote off, you asked me what my fake idol speech was for (about you being mean spirited)'' That was my way of making you feel like you do not have a chance against Domonique and maybe, JUST MAYBE, you can ditch Dom and Brit and align with Grace and Josh. Like make this game more exciting! Which clearly did not happen because Cinderella Grace is sitting with me on the jury bench.

Ricky, I had no problems with you, but you have to own up to what the others are saying, you may not be 100% mean spirited, but YOU ARE A MEANIE. You are the biggest bully in this season. You say things about Ethan, and Sora, and Jamie, and Nuno. And I would not be very surprised if you also did the same thing to me, behind my back. You have the tendency to bully and insult people.

And do not talk about your loyalty bullshit, I DREW ROCKS FOR YOU. If you were clinging on this loyalty bullshit, then I at least could have been fifth or fourth. When I saved you, you said you will make it to a point to get to know me better. I always knew we had an alcohol connection or something. And do not tell me that I did it first by going against the three of you. You blindsided me FIRST when you ditched Topaz. And at the Ethan vote off, you had the audacity to rub it in my face saying "now I know who is loyal and who is not.", adding insult to injury, you bragged '''"Domonique, I am so happy we still have our auctioned items." Cocky bastard.'''

So you disproving to Nuno and to everyone that you are not mean, that calling Nuno - NuNo Leakes and calling Sora - Sore Ass are just your non bullying, non mean spirited and comical ways to poke fun at other people behind their backs... Think again.

For my questions to you Sir:

Do you now agree that you are mean and cocky in this game?

Did you really genuinely get to know me (and the other Favorites like what you are claiming to be)?

What are the flaws in Domonique's game play?

Lastly, at the end of it all, let us say Domonique is proclaimed the ultimate sole Survivor of Survivor Rome: Fans vs Favorites 2. '''Why would you think this happened? What made majority of the jury members vote for her, and not you?'''

P.S. ''If you want some extra points for me, you can teach me how to get 20+ million points in Epic Coaster in such little time. I remember you saying you only had to play it once. So since you love recording videos, you may record a video of yourself sitting in your computer screen where the end of the video is you hauling 20 or so freaking million points. This is just optional, but you may have my vote if you do this shit.''



Thank you very much and congratulations to the three of you! I can say I have the pleasure of working with all three of you at some point in the game. I believe this Final Tribal Council will be a close fight, so I will patiently wait for your answers.

This has been one hell of a game! It has a very exciting pre swap and post swap, early merge was super incredible. However I feel that towards the end, the glitter started to fade. But whoever wins, deserves all the glory.

P.S. Jamie and Nuno, stahp fighting and wait for the confessionals to be released.

This game has lots of characters and you might have overlooked the fact that you were also playing with 'players'. You are both awesome anyway.

Thank you everyone for a great season!
