Hey guys, congrats on making it to f3. I’ve been wrestling a little bit on how to handle my jury questions to you guys, because—and I say this with no bitterness—my vote is and always has been going to Neal, so I’m not sure how fair it is to make you jump through a bunch of hoops and do some complicated comparison questions when I already know how I’m voting. I feel like I played closely with all three of you guys and know enough about each of your games to feel solid in my decision so I don’t want to waste your time, especially when you have quite a bit of work from the other ten jurors. I do have a few things to say to each of you though, and you can choose if you'd like to respond or not, totally up to you. :)

Hey Rachel! It’s funny, back at the beginning of the game I said that you were going to be the death of me, haha. You were the one person from
Mushu that I felt like I just couldn’t deeply connect with no matter how hard I tried, and I just had a feeling that that was going to come back to bite me later. And lo and behold! I could never tell if that was just how you were or if you just didn’t like me and were trying to hide it lol. You often had an interesting perspective on what you thought was going on during the game, I’m looking forward to reading your confessional afterwards and seeing what you were actually thinking and planning. Good luck in FTC!

Liz <3 I’ve been so all over the place with you during this FTC tbh. I’ve found out some things that you’ve said that have really hurt my feelings and made me pretty upset, such as blaming me for manipulating you into the Jenna vote the round that Kenny vote which just absolutely blows my mind. I had nothing to do with pitching Jenna’s name, that was all Kenny and Neal. That was actually part of the reason why Woo and I felt like flipping was the right thing to do, because we thought there was no way you were actually voting for Jenna, because we didn’t think you specifically would do it. After Jaison left, Neal immediately promised to send an
Anaira home, Kenny threw out Jenna, Neal threw out Jenna, and Woo and I were just like uhhh okay? There was no manipulation on my part, and the fact that you pinned that on me hurts my feelings, especially knowing that at the same time you were saying all that to Rita, you were ALSO hardcore coming down on me for hours and hours with all the stuff you were saying to me, which was an extremely difficult night for me as you know.
The other thing is saying you knew I was going home the round that I did and that you chose not to fight for me wtf?? You’re either trying to take too much credit for a paranoid feeling you had OR you’re admitting you let one of your closest friends go, why would you do either. :’(
And finally do you realize that the last thing you said to me after my terrible blindside was to tell Joe that you say hi and you love him? :P
None of those are things you have to address if you don't want to. Mostly Liz, I just want this game to be over so that we can talk and hang out again and stay up way too late and watch silly stuff online (#teamfaith) and show me all your awesome music and watch the random movies that we both love (An Education and 500 Days of Summer finally?????) and talk about Great Danes and basically get back to same-personing. You’ve made some mistakes in this game and yes they’re probably going to cost you the game, but they’re not going to cost you the real friendship we started here. I love you. <3
Neal
Neal I told you way back when that I thought you were playing the best game of all the people left. I wasn’t bullshitting you then, and I’m about to prove it to you with my vote. I know you have some work to do with this jury, they haven’t all gotten to see your game the way that I have, but I’ve gotten to see your social, physical, and strategic strengths from playing this game by your side. I’ve never felt so close to someone that I met almost halfway through the game, you had me 100%…at least till f4. ;) We had a lot of fun conversations, but our intense conversations were some of my favorites. Somehow you were always able to tell when I was bullshitting you. It was so annoying. :P You were the one person I was completely unable to lie to, because you were always able to tell somehow, which was both infuriating but also kind of nice, in a way. For example, from the round that Kenny left:
YOU WERE RIGHT, I WAS COVERING FOR NICK. That bastard Nick. You had that kind of insight all the time. You were way fucking sharper than people give you credit for. You read people and situations and then you adjusted, and you won a few challenges when you needed to. You may have flipped a few times but look, you had people that were loyal to you to the end in Liz, Kenny, Woo, and me, a backstabbing snake doesn’t have four devoted friends, including one that they actually voted for.
Neal, I thought you were amazing and I’m so proud of you, and I’m so happy that the next time I vote for you, it will be a vote to win. I hope it makes up for last time. I love you.
