My finalists! I have a good buzz going and thats good enough for me to start!
RoryBear: You came to play. That much is really clear. From the merge when you (we :3) both stabbed poor old Phil in the back it was obvious! To be sure, my thought was how much can I use ol' Rory (or maybe thats the buzz, idk)? But even still you made many big moves. You managed to get 2 idols. You got DD to give you one (which frankly I find quite silly but thats mostly because it helped hurt my game)! And try hard you did to get me to vote out Jason! I'd be lying if I said I didn't consider it each time (in fact, I think my worst move was voting Neleh out over Jason (no offense Jason, purley musings on my own game (which totally doesn't Matter at this point, This is about you guys))) So for that, congrats! You made it to the end despite having quite the *ahem* strong personality! But to be honest, even ol' Rob got his gears ground! Insults and threats abound! I understand (You mentioned this yourself!) frustration on my (foolish?) loyalty! Still I did not appreciate the "Vote with me or I will make sure you go out" things. So social gameplay... HMMMMM!? Although Neleh and Shambo both seem to be found of you (and tbh I know how you are out of the context of the game and quite enjoy you, but that has no bearing here and wont influence my vote)
Jason God of Things: Did you come to play? I guess thats debateable (at least in my mind). The under the radar strategy is for sure a legitimate one (and winning). I've argued as much myself watching Survivor. A lot of it has to do with knowing who you are playing with and knowing what kind of gameplay they respect. Does this Jury respect people who make big moves, who manipulate? Or will they count abrasive personalitys against someone and consider someone who was respectful (The few words (very few) we shared were quite respectful) and indeed made it to the end the more deserving player. Unfortunately I can't say. Whether or not the under the radar strategy was a good one (moreso than any other) can't be determined until the game is over. Loyalty is a quality I hold dear and you were quite loyal to Kim so thats a point to you (Rory, like me, backstabbed a few people!), so I congratulate you on that point!
Feel free to respond to these statements anyway you wish. I will have a few questions in my next post after another beer or two! As of now, truly, I am undecided (but I am leaning a certain way!) so questions are nessecary (as is any info you wish to divulge). Congrats on the finals both of you! Questions Soon!
