Congrats, Ben, you won my vote! I think you played an insane game, made moves for yourself, and you knew what was going on with other people throughout the game. I also think you had one of the best social games out there. It's very tricky to flip and flop the way you did and not have it backfire against you but you pulled it off.
Although I like Stan's game as well, I do think he relied on other people a little too much to propel himself through the game. Also, based on some of his FTC answers, I can kind of tell he didn't know what was going on in the game outside of his alliance, whereas you did.
Anyway, I hope you win! Buena suerte!

good luck. kind of an uphill battle for you but there's a chance you can pull it off i think.
ultimately we talked more and connected more in this game than i did with ben. that's really the only criterion for my vote. i don't think i'm required as a juror to give a shit about gameplay or any of that nonsense and i'm not going to waste my time asking tired questions about what was running through their head when they made XYZ move at 11:39 pm on Day 26 of this game

Well shit, its time for my final vote isn't it? I've thought about this and in the end, there was only 1 person I could vote for.
Ben, I have no clue wether this means you'll win or not but after your FTC performance, yeah there was no other person who I could vote for. I can't give Stan the vote after he played so passively compared to you. He just piggybacked on the person to take him to the end while you were actively working towards getting there for yourself. I'm willing to look past the single mistake you made of bringing Stan with you to the end, but if you lose because of that, well that's your fault really. Still, I hope you win because you deserve it more than Stan. Congratulations. | |

This decision was a lot harder than I thought it would be going into this - and I think both of them have played games that I’d be fine with winning. Ultimately though, I think my gut instinct was the best.
Ben, you came into the merge with a HUGE target on your back, much more than Stan ever had. And yet, despite winning challenges, despite flipping like crazy, you still managed to escape the vote time after time. I think you beat Stan socially, strategically, and physically, even if Stan may be better at spinning his story. If Stan wins, I’m OK with it, but in my eyes, Ben, you deserve it. Best of luck, mate. | |

My vote is for Ben! I think Ben played a stronger overall game. He was a known threat, and was able to evade the wrath of those he flipped on (at least during the game, I think?). Clutch immunity wins were key to both players getting to the end, and I respect both players' strong challenge performance. Ben did amazing at challenges, and I saw more of that in action. Along with that, I think he had an amazing social and strategic game. Not perfect, because there were hurt feelings on the other side (not from me, though!), but I think he played a pretty good "flipper" game, and he kinda owned it (but not too much!) at the FTC. Stanley played a solid game, but in the end, I just think Ben outshined him. But I think Stanley had a pretty good FTC, and perhaps had an edge on Ben in that regard. ETA: I actually casted my vote before reading the Closing Statements, and Ben's was amazing. However, I will say that both players were a little too self-congratulatory about how they handled this game and their real life situations. We all have lives, y'all! Anyway, good luck guys!
