Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooo finalists.

Obviously I wish I was sitting where you are, but congratulations on making it here, this is arguably the hardest game out there, it takes something, even if it's a little bit of something, to get here. I'm not bitter....not really, I never expected myself to get as far as I did, and I honestly didn't expect you guys to be the ones I'd be questioning, so props to all 3 of you. I just want to get a better perspective of how your games went and get a little bit of asskissing for us here on the jury. So here it goes.


Right now, I'm voting for Yul. He was the only person I was aligned with throughout the duration of the game, he's the only one of you that I truly know played the game,he's the only one of you that really even tried to have a relationship with me, and as far as I know, at this moment, he's the ONLY person sitting here that truly deserves the title of Sausage Island 8 champion.

Why? Because even as I played alongside him, and knew he was playing the game how he was, I never once considered him a big threat. I honestly (no offense) wanted to bring him to the end for more than just him being my closest ally, but because I knew nobody saw him as a threat or big player. He played an amazing UTR game, while still "having his hand in the cookie jar" for a lot of the big moments. His opening statement is the only one I can actually completely buy at this point, and while I still have questions for you Yul, this is your vote to lose.

Opening statements aren't too important to me, but as I just said Yul's is the only one I'm believing right now.

Jonathan, I'm sorry, but for me, being on your social A game isn't just talking to your alliance members everyday, it constitutes talking to EVERYBODY and getting a little bit of info from all those people, and I know from personal experience that was not true for you. You actually tried a bit more than Charlie to talk to me, so I guess kudos for that, but we still had no real relationship at the end of the day. I understand not talking to me if I'm not apart of your plans, but don't go talking about Social A game after the fact, I didn't have a really good one and if I was sitting infront of a jury, I'd admit. Not saying that you didn't have a decent or good one, but there's a ton of people sitting on this jury that played way better social games than you IMO, sorry.

The same conditions make me want to fault you on your so called "incredibly aware game". On one hand, it's not the best point to make, I'll probably go down as one of the least aware players in Sausage history, and even I had some sort of who was with who, and through my boot I knew who was gonna go at every single tribal, paranoia would just drive me to think otherwise at times. On the other hand, just because you had people giving you the dish on the rumor mill doesn't mean you always knew the truth. The one thing that rings true in your speech to me is that there are some that view you as the goat here, I'm one of them. But, as I said earlier, I'm not the greatest when it comes to awareness, so maybe I have it all wrong. Prove it to me! Good luck.


Charlie! Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Guys, Charlie bit me. Charlie bit me and it reaalllly hurts. Obviously he didn't bite me literally, but he bit my game, and he bit me as a player. Now when it comes to my game, I don't know if all the claims were 100% true or not, so I'll just stick to player-to-player things. You never even tried to talk to me! I guess that was your strategy, but as far I know you still went and talked to people and I just got left ignored. If I'm not apart of your plans, OK, but great players have great social games, and try to get know almost all of the people they play with.

Now your jury speech, for me, seems to list off the reasons I shouldn't vote for you rather than the reasons I should. You got into a majority alliance and made the merge easy, I can't fault you for that too much because that can be said for all but three of us here. You got an idol, but misplayed it, though again I can't fault you for that too much because we tried to keep who was going at that tribal underwraps and it could've been anybody. Then, you got into some more majority alliances and that never made you a target after Eddie left. I guess that it's less reasons to not vote for you, but just sort of fluff. I need to know more.

Alright, enough rambling, question time!

Yul:
1. What was your best move in this game?
2. I saw you as my closest ally n this game, but I'll say it for a 3rd time, my awareness skills were less than perfect. How did you view me as an ally and player in this game?

Jonathan:
1. What was a move that you initiated in this game? I feel like you were locked with J'Tia for most of the game, and then once she left, you were with Charlie, I don't know what moves you made that you spearheaded on your own.

2. You say you were on your social A game and played an incredibly aware game, where you knew who was in trouble and who wanted who out. So to show it, sort of, who were the 3 people I wanted out of the game the most post-merge?

Charlie:
1. Why did you choose the "people have to come to me" strategy?
2. From what I hear, you tried to make moves in this game and a most of them just didn't formulate. You didn't really talk about it in your speech, which surprised me. If these claims are true, can you go a little in-depth on those moves and why they did or didn't work?

For Errybody (Aka "The Ass-kissing Ones")
1. Who on the jury do you feel played the best game?
2. There's a DVD cover. 6 people get on it from this season, who are those 6, where are they on the cover, and why are they there?
3. Who do you feel is/will be considered the star of the season by the PWs?

That's all I've got to say here. If you chose not read this and just skip to the questions, well then, go fuck Yoosef. But I hope you guys give all of us the time to hear what we have to say, good and bad. Good luck and good night!



Billiam out!

I will admit, Bill, that you were one I did not speak with as much. I said I was on my A game, but I never said I played a flawless social game. I think being on my social A game, to me, means that I was socially aware. I knew who I needed to be more social with to win them over. Furthermore, I honestly felt like I knew where you stood on a lot of things through Eddie, be it directly or indirectly. However, that is no excuse for us not being able to talk as much, and I do feel that I reached out, but I apologize if you feel that I did not reach out enough. Additionally, I think pointing out that I played an aware game is rather important. You yourself admitted to not being very aware and, thus, you sit on the jury and not in the Final Three. Being aware came from establishing trust and establishing relationships, which are crucial to being successful in this game, so I think being aware is an important aspect and an important trait to point out.

Anyways, that's not what you asked me, so I will get to answering what you would actually like to know from me.

1. What was a move that you initiated in this game?

As far as a move goes, I will take credit for Betsy’s downfall. After the results of the Majority Rules challenge, Betsy had been voted as the person most people would trust with their lives. To me, the person who is deemed most trustworthy is more dangerous than the person who is deemed in control. So, I took it upon myself to make the most trustworthy person in this game the least trustworthy. That round involved a lot of me planting the idea in Betsy’s head to make a big move against our alliance of 6 (Ken, Kelly, JR, Betsy, myself, and J’Tia), without ever having any intention of myself voting against our alliance. Truthfully, this all stemmed from the fear that Betsy and JR would team up with Ken and Kelly and take J’Tia and I out at final 6. I had to make sure that Betsy was seen as untrustworthy by Ken and Kelly, so I planted the idea of booting a huge threat in her brain (ie. Someone who was voted most strategic or in control). At that point, Betsy divulges with me that Ken and Kelly are thinking of voting J’Tia. Of course, I instantly reported this to Ken and Kelly, only further splitting the trust between them and Betsy. The only way that their trust would be truly severed was if I agreed to vote with you, Yul, Betsy, and JR in order for the 4 of you to actually vote for J’Tia, while I kept my vote for you, Bill, making my alliance trust me more since I “saved J’Tia” and making Betsy and JR public enemies number one and two. In the end, this secured Charlie a spot in our Final Five alliance, and come Final Five, Charlie, J’Tia, and I would have had the upper hand if need be. I never had any intentions of voting out J’Tia, because it just didn’t make sense for me to lose the trust of my 4 closest allies only to align myself with folks that I didn’t trust as much. When all was said and done, Betsy and JR were next in line to go, and J’Tia and Ken were still around as “bigger threats” for the other side of the tribe to target, and I was sitting safely in the middle. If I had voted with Betsy that round, I am confident that I would not be sitting here in the Final Three.

In response to me being tied to J'Tia, she was, indeed, my closest ally in the game, but I feel like she in no way carried me to where I was. There were several occasions pre-merge, in fact, where her name came up and I defended her. It was a mutual relationship, not a parasitic one. I had to do my part just as much as J'Tia did to form relationships that would help us both come merge. On top of that, when J'Tia left, I stuck around and I still played a strong game. Charlie didn't dictate any move that I made.

2. Who were the 3 people I wanted out of the game the most post-merge?

I would say J'Tia and Charlie were two of your primary targets coming into the merge. Based off of what happened, I would say your third target was Hayden.

1. Who on the jury do you feel played the best game?

I honestly have to say Ken as well. Whether he was in control or not, he made people believe he was in control, and that's what this game is about. Perception. He played a stellar social game and everyone loved him. He was great at the game and what the game entailed, and had he made it to the finals I feel he would have swept the vote.

2. There's a DVD cover. 6 people get on it from this season, who are those 6, where are they on the cover, and why are they there?

J'Tia, Ken, Betsy, Yul, Jonathan, and Charlie.

J'Tia: J'Tia was the character of this season. She brought the drama and she brought the humor. Essentially, she brought the ratings for a big chunk of this game.
Ken: A strong social player, and someone who was seemingly in control for a large part of the game.
Betsy: Betsy stirred the pot and kind of became villain-esque towards the end of her time in the merge. Leading up to, and after her plot to vote J'Tia, she would have gotten a lot of screen time and she would be a crucial character in the show.
Yul: Played pretty UTR, but made it to the finals, and I think all finalists typically deserve a spot because they made it to the end, which is obviously the goal of the game.
Charlie: I thought, besides making it to the finals, Charlie was another funny character in the game, and often brought the lulz. And he's just an all around good guy.
Jonathan: I made F3, so I think I deserve to be on the cover, just saying.

Guest appearance by Kelly because she was the sweetheart of the season and the sweetheart should always be featured too.

3. Who do you feel is/will be considered the star of the season by the PWs?

I would like to think that many of us stood out to the PWs and provided them with plenty of entertainment. I think the star(s) of the season will be Ken and J'Tia, to the PWs. J'Tia was a character and played a strong social game, and Ken played a strong social game as well, and had toe whole Kendra Bigstaff thing going for him. Like Yul, I hope the PWs appreciated my game as well. It was hard to play any sort of true character since, like, who is Jonathan Libby anyways? But I hope I helped assist with an entertaining season.

Thanks for your questions, Bill, and best of luck with your decision.
