Final 6

[Emily]

Lol i think her reasoning makes a lot of sense. The jury might get over their bitterness and once Ellen starts her Kim comparisons, she might have wrapped everyone around her finger.

I'm not sure why the jury is not upset with Ryan like, at all. It's gonna be an exciting Final council though. Both played equally well, kinda, imo.

I'm very surprised that Colleen voted Ellen out.

This FTC will be very interesting.

I'm slightly surprised too, but as I was looking through her Confessional this morning I realized she was going to vote out Ellen. I think it was a smart move in a way because it gives her credibility among certain Jurors (especially Dominic, Ben, and Chase) since she got rid of a threat & made a big move whereas Ryan hasn't really done so. However, getting rid of Ellen I think could prove worrisome for her in terms of gaining Jury votes since Ryan is so popular in the Jury. As of right now, I'm leaning more towards Ryan winning w/ a 7-2 or 6-3 vote, but again I think whoever could win this game is still a toss-up.

Ryan is more like kim if you ask me since like nobody on the jury is mad at her.


congrats ryan on taking gvse3

[annie]

ryan isnt like kim at all. she's like chelsea imo. kim's right hand who everyone loved. against just Sabrina, Chelsea would have won, but Kim took any potential Chelsea votes.

Just based on the two posts Ellen did in the jury board, she would have slayed both of them, bitter jury or not. She has an answer to everything and is a great talker.

The only one that would have been very hard to sway is Ben imo.

ITA with this. Ben already said, though, that he'd vote for Ellen over Ryan. Ellen was pretty robbed imo. Maybe her biggest mistake was cutting Dominic.

Colleen is so robbed :/

Ditto. Overall, she played a better game, however, why should we be surprised? This happens almost ever game.

Plus, I'm happy my pick for winner actually won .

This is gross. I'm sure Ben and Dominic's abrasiveness with Ryan has something to do with it.

Hopefully Carly is bitter and Kendell votes for Colleen.

I totally understand why Leah votes the way she's voting cuz she doesn't take that stuff well and I can kinda relate. AJ is voting for her pre-game friend which is also kinda expected. I guess I just don't get Chase's and especially Liam's decision making. Ellen tells a lie, they freak out and get pissed. Ryan tells a lie, they understand. Lol?

Ryan played a good game, but did she really play better than Colleen? I really don't think so. Colleen was never in a great spot as she couldn't rely on pre-game shit and missed out on the first group chat, but by keeping her cool and playing her cards well, in the end she held more power and played a much more consistent game.

I'd be shocked if Carly or Kendell vote for Colleen tbh (if they vote at all), the votes had to come from Chase/Liam since they seemed more level-headed, but in the end I guess they had their minds made up the second Colleen sent the Kim of this game home and they couldn't have their bitter party.

Wow. I thought Colleen would win. I think she deserves it more than Ryan. But i think both deserve it, so I'm not totally upset by it. But Colleen definitely had to work harder and cover up her actual feelings more.

When did I get pissed at Ellen? Ellen and I weren't even on the same tribe at all. I saw a lot of people get pissed at Ellen, but I never did. I thought it wasn't a great strategic move to ask a question when you aren't welling to give an answer to that same question.

And I don't get pissed at liars in Survivor. That would be ridiculously hypocritical. I think some of the viewers misinterpreted me at times. Like when Justin asked PW not to talk about the game. A PW commented, so I asked them not to, then I got called a bitch and a whore and then I was the one who was told I was being disrespectful. I don't get that.

Colleen tried to play a game where she didn't seem like a threat. That got her to the end, but that ended up making the perception of her at the end as being someone who sort of went along with the flow from my perspective. In other words she didn't do enough to show the difference between a quiet game and a passive game.

I could only judge on what they told me, and Ryan told me a better story.

I don't know. My brain's wired a little differently than most people. I thought Ryan had the better FTC. I pissed people off during this series without meaning too. I'm glad that the viewers seemed to enjoy me in general during this season.

I'll go back to my INTP status to explain things. We try to be very logical, but our feelings are extroverted. I have a tendency to say too much when I'm expressing myself. and my thoughts are misinterpreted because while I try to be clear and say exactly what I mean, people aren't used to that style of expression.

I don't like OTT personalities, I don't like disingenuous people. I don't like liars or people who put up facades. I have trouble expressing myself and connecting with people and these are all terrible traits for someone who loves Survivor to have.

Just the number of people who got upset at me when I wasn't trying to do anything upsetting really stressed me out this season. It really makes me reluctant to return to this board for another game.

When I don't know what's going on with the fallen comrades because I've never been in a game that had that before, I'm going to ask a question. There's a difference between asking and accusing. There's a difference between disagreeing and being disrespectful.

As I said before, I have an on/off emotion switch, and I really felt like getting this out for a while. Just the constant barrage of OTT people and my motives being questioned after I've been voted keeps jabbing at it.

So, Justin, thank you for having me on the game, but at this point I don't think I'll be back for another season, at least not for a while. I stayed with the game the whole way through because it was only fair to you, the viewers, and the players who put so much effort into the game.

Emily, you didn't deserve this ridiculously long (and mostly unrelated) response to your comment. I just had some stuff I was biting my tongue on for a while and it sort of spilled out in this. Although, these long posts never seem to make anyone ever understand where I'm coming from any better. :/

You guys must think I'm a fucking train-wreck at this point, but I'm really not.

Aw Liam you're awesome!
