Well hello, darlings! So good of you to join me this evening.
I have to say that this final three is overall pretty satisfying. I have no seething hatred for anyone, and all three of you have proven adept at arguing your different POVs. I am a bit surprised to see Julia in this finale because I felt she was going to be whacked off fairly easily at the final four. Of course this is disappointing to me as my thrashing of Kat had to be in private, and not out in this lovely open forum like I would've enjoyed. I'll chat more about this final four decision in a bit.
But first....I have to be a bit of a softie and congratulate all three of you on a solid game. There are admirable traits in all three of you, most of which I had the ability to possess, but I simply can not take that final form. Regardless of how any of us jurors make you feel during or after this FTC, hold your heads high! Without further a due, here's what Sydney has for you. I'll preface my individual questions with some quick opinions, but don't forget to stick around til the end of the post for the general questions all three of you will answer!!
Miss Julia, you're first!
I don't think anybody tonight has talked to you first, so here I am mixing it up! I zigged while everyone else zagged. Come to think about it, this is a pretty solid metaphor for your game. When everyone was puffing their chest and beating themselves like Apes, proving themselves as the game's dominant strategist, you kinda sat back and let everything come to you. Unfortunately that paints you as a bit of a coat-tail rider, especially because you didn't really seem to make moves on your own. You rode on Caleb's coattails and then Kat's up until the OBVIOUS move of voting out Dana. I hope that wasn't even a decision for you. Granted Dana had an ice cube's chance in hell of getting my vote, but I'm sure the other jurors would disagree. Yes you may consider sticking with Sakai post-merge a move, but I always like seeing specific strategic decisions and gameplay independent of social bonds. Do you have those? IDK.
My individual questions for you are:
1)Let's throw this back to the final 8. Tell me you preferential boot order and why this was what you wanted.
2) Once the final four vote tied, did it cross your mind at all to vote Kat out with Spencer? Can you provide insight into that decision?
Fancy a cup of tea, Spencer?
It's well past mid-afternoon tea and cookies over in the Union, but indulge me a bit and sip on the truth tea that I'm about to pour you. It won't be all bad, I promise :) This may come as a bit of a shock, but I don't consider you a snake. I saw pretty much nothing from you that was extremely duplicitous or anywhere close to the conniving, back-stabbing, malicious behavior that Kat and Dana exhibited. What is impressive is that you had connections with people that allowed them to overlook your reputation and not flip the script on you. With that said, I don't think you ever had a chance to be manipulative. You never had to sweat it out up until the final 9 where your behavior became fairly cocky and overbearing.
My individual question for you is: Please explain why at the final 8, you decided it was appropriate to keep both Dana and Kat in this game. I think this was a huge mistake that could've backfired, but fortunately for you it didn't. If I were you, I rat Dana, Kat, and Julia out to Eliza and I, then use us to vote Kat/Dana, and then bam you're in the driver's seat.
Oh Jimmy where do I begin?!?
From what I could see, the final four decision to keep Julia in was horrible for you!! Like not even a close decision. Let me put it to you this way: You are the John Kasich of Twisted 7. Pretty feeble, kinda likable, nothing too important to say. The most viable strategy for YOU to win is to bring the two people who are least liked. Spencer is Trump here (sorry bud), but instead of picking Kat aka Ted Cruz to run against, you decide to bring in the lovable Julia aka Colonel Bernie Sanders. Do you see what I'm getting at? Your "beta" strategy only works if you have intense, dislikable "alphas" next to you, of which Julia is definitely not one. Spencer fits that mold more, so you got one down, but you incorrectly filled the other slot.
My question to you is: Now no disrespect here, but I know you're a parent so you probably are old enough to have lived through a few Presidents, or at least learned about them in school. Analyze your game and tell me which United States President most embodies your game philosophy, and why.
ALMOST DONE!!
My shared question for you three is pretty standard, but with a twist. Shout-out to the jury for thinking of this question, but in the spirit of our merge tribe name, please compare each juror and finalist to a Pokemon. I'm talking original 150 here, not any of this Pokemon X, Moon, Emerald whatever shit the kids play these days. If you don't know enough about Pokemon to do this, then just switch over to CBS Survivor players. And if you don't know enough about either of those, well frankly I'm not sure how you got here playing an ORG lol.
Best of luck to you three, and thanks for a great ride!
