Well to the final two congratulations on making it this far. I say final two because for Asa to roll over and die in her speech and completely give up the game is a spit in the face to those of us who played our hearts out and ran through this game wide open firing on all 8 cylinders. I cannot even consider that a player at this point. Asa seriously if this is your end game, dont apply for any future ORGs. There were actually jurors considering giving you the win if you had a great speech and making you the iconic first female winner of the series. But you flopped, and you flopped HARD.
Back to the final 2.
Aren,
I appreciate your first response. Also there was no second idol. I used a lie about the second idol to cause fear of voting me out among the tribe. The only idol I ever had was used with the Tempest. And I did find it on the map btw. I know that you only voted Nick to secure my jury vote. Because you gave me the same pitch about how you could never write Asa down so that when we voted her out you would still get her vote. Ya see I play this game with no fear. I would sit right in the middle of players like you and Austin in a FTC and mop the floor with you both, because of my GAMEPLAY. I dont have to vote off my close friends or allies because I know that in the end IF I didn't win, another very deserving player would. I have absolutely no respect for your move of chopping down your allies and dragging Asa to the end as a goat for an easy win. And whats worse is she was aware that was happening the whole time and didn't even care. You had a goat, extra vote, and player willing to go to the end and lose to you. The rest of us didn't have that.
And honestly, I don't find  you/Austin faking a convo to gain my trust very 'iconic' since I immediately saw right through it. Hello?? I never told either of you what the Tempest really did nor that my second idol was fake because I SAW THRU THAT SHIT and knew you 2 were in cahoots. Â
You had finals deals with a lot of people. But you had to break many of those deals to honor only one of them with Asa. Will that pay off or cost you the game? Would you rather have Asa beside you now, or are you regretting not putting her on the jury to vote for you?
NICK!
We spent the entire game on opposite sides. But I see your story. Mainly because I spent so long trying to dismantle you. You were a great adversary while always keeping the 'war' about the game. You never broke your word to me in this, but thats also because we never played for the same side. I made my mind up at final six that if those boys whom I had looked out for, trusted, and even used special powers to keep in the game didn't double down and keep me at 6 that they would lose should either of them sit next to you in the end. Knowing now that Aren had full control over Asa's vote and still let me be the first of his core allies to be cut helps your game a lot.
BUT...
There is a big stain on your game that I am having issues overlooking. You came into this game with SO many preformed friendships, relationships, close pre-season bonds, and even a blood relative. With those facts in mind it is easier for me to see how you could go so far with so many social advantages. Whereas many of us had to spend a lot of time chatting, feeling each other out, and looking for whom to trust you already had all of those things on lock down.
I'd like to know why someone like me who generally is a huge target from the start to finish should award my vote to someone has had a much cushier experience and easier path to finals like you with all of your pre-game bonds?
Thank you boys! Good luck.Â
