Some people just beat me to this but I wanted to say it anyway

Quick words about Brice. First of all, his enthusiasm and dedication were unparalleled, which is really all a host can ask for in a game. If we had 18 players in a cast with Brice's activity and drive then it'd be the greatest season hands down

We ragged on him quite a bit, I'd say him and Colton got the worst of it. Like Brett said, it was all viewer frustration directed towards both, each for completely opposite reasons. Brice took this game by storm, and no one from a past season stands out to me right now who was as consistent from start to finish as far as spotlight and control goes. He was the most talked about player this season without a doubt, and since he was such a polarizing character who was also arrogantly controlling the majority alliance which made much of this season boring, it was easy to direct negativity towards him. Hopefully he doesn't think any of it was too baseless or nasty



ANYWHO, finale time!



Monica vs. Mookie vs. Rodney. Really great F3. I would be thrilled with a Rodney or a Monica win and each would be a great symbol for this season. A Mookie win is such a long shot so if it happens, it would have to be a really amazing FTC performance which means I'm also all for that


PW Questionnaire!

1. Who do you want to win this season?
2. Who will win this season?

1. Who do you want to win this season? Hot Rod! Been rooting for him since the start.

2. Who will win this season?
I think it will be a 5-4-1 vote in favor of Monica. I think either Brice or Lue will get fed up with Rodney trying to take too much credit and vote for Mookie and that will be the difference

I'm like really torn if i want Monica or Rodney to win. Rodney has played such a great game and he really deserves the win. Monica's return from the dead and her immunity streak is super impressive and she has really fought hard like an underdog to get here. But I feel like a Rodney win is overall better since he really did have control from start to finish.

asking the hard hitting questions i see.
who will win? idk it might be pretty close but as of right now pre-FTC im going to say monica

Okay with Monica or Rod! Both deserve it cor different reasons and are quite good winners

I expect Monica to have a not-so-great FTC, especially if her Holocaust rough draft is any indication (: . This is good though, she's the favorite coming in and Rodney's down a few notches. I think Rodney should have an impressive FTC and will sway people. With Monica potentially losing voters instead of gaining some, and Rodney doing the opposite, it could end up being reallyyyy close

wait is monica dust?

1. Monica
2. Monica

They had like, what 4 or 5 chances to get rid of her? And none of them used her to their advantage (only Vytas, right?). Done. Outta here.

Austin and Yve used me to their advantage and look where they got

Also I'd like to echo Lex's words about Brice. I've always practiced the doctrine of "Don't hate the player; hate the game" ... kind of.

Either way it's a much classier way to remember him.

I'm incredibly torn. I think Rodney vs. Monica and Austin vs. Monica are the most torn I've been heading into an SI FTC. Shoutout to Chelsea/Syd and Sean/Rob

I am obligated to say that the reason Monica wasn't included in that list is because she didn't ~USE~ me at all and that what we had was Real with a capital R.

Triple post what? (Edit: gdi Lex)

Ninja'd sry

Brice was amazing to watch!!!!!! If only he had faced adversity sooner. He became so endearing and relatable in the final rounds.

I feel like you are overrating Rodney's potential FTC performance, Lexxy. I just don't think they'll be into his arrogant schtick will jive with the jury. But then again, he isn't framing his entire pitch around a holocaust analogy (or is that too soon to say)....

I haven't read his rough draft yet to be fair. I just have confidence in him to name all of the very subtle and specific instances when he really controlled the game

If Monica makes that comparison it might be the second most distasteful/ill-advised finalist argument in the series.
