I'm going to start this off, because this is my only premeditated response.
I wanted to say thank you for all your answers. I personally don't have follow up questions, as my vote has been made already and I don't expect that to change. I am merely 1 vote out of 10 however, and each and every jury member here has their own values outside of my own.
Some value loyalty, some value big moves, some value sleaziness...I like to think I'm a mixture of all 3. It's been mentioned before that I am a slytherin. I value ambition, cleverness, resourcefullness, and cunning.
I cannot vote for people that I was able to easily manipulate, period. I much prefer those who have done it to me. For that reason I cannot vote for you, Gillian, or you Charlie. Gillian, I told you to latch onto Michelle (I don't believe I said Charlie in this) because I knew she would take advantage of it and always have you for a vote. I told her as such, and I was right. You allowed me to still contribute to the trajectory of the game long after I was gone. Couple this with the fact you were going to play your idol on me is not a move for you, rather it was a move for me. Your attacking of jury members in your answers also was unnecessary.
You were my goat, and I groomed you from day 2. I wish I could apologize, but it's the game. I am human though and do feel bad, but that's me as a person, not me in the game. Your lack of self awareness in all of this has been...troubling to say the least. Also, a side note, you may want to stop talking about the Jac vote. I had been working to get her out that next vote about 2 days prior to the challenge, well before you told me you wanted her gone. Your vote was just right timing, and allowed me to use her behavior towards you to gain loyalty from other people and not me being seen as a sleazeball. It was also premerge. However, I'm proud that you did realize you shouldn't have trusted me, albeit a little late. I was always going to sit in the F3 with you though for what it's worth, because I knew I'd win.
Charlie, I also said in my confessionals you were another goat for me. This was proven when you admitted that the only non strategic move you had was not voting me out. I never saw you as a threat, and I think the excuses you've given are asinine. Sleeper games are trash for me. I hope you too realize you shouldn't have trusted me either. My ideal F3 when I was booted included you too for the same reasons I was going to bring Gillian. I never would have brought Michelle.
Michelle, on the other hand, I couldn't manipulate. She played me, not maliciously by any means, but she used me the way she should have to be where she is now. She actively made the move not to play her idol on me, because she KNEW she was being targeted for being associated with me. In fact the day her name was brought up I was told by the person targeting her that it was to "weaken me." The fact is though I was viewed as the threat when she and I made EVERY SINGLE MOVE TOGETHER from new taraku on. I knew she was a threat, and she's still there. Her gear analogy was SPOT ON, but she was able to skid by without being the threat she is. By the time that was caught on she already had her numbers with Gillian and Charlie.
She's the only one who deserves this win for me, and I think it's absolutely ridiculous that I was the one who was given the credit for all the moves on Ponderosa. I can't tell you all the ass kissing I was given in this hellhole. When I told them Michelle was right there with me everyone was shocked. That's HER game. She has hit EVERY SINGLE PEG FOR WINNING for me. Sleaziness, loyalty, big moves, socially, strategically, even in the challenges...just everything. She won the challenge she needed to. Gillian and Charlie never really needed to win any. Sorry, not sorry.
I also feel it necessary to say that my name was brought up entirely too much by Gillian and Charlie. Michelle is the only one who should have any emphasis on me, given our running of the game from the swap on.
I much prefer someone who has been playing the whole damn game, rather than the latter portion. This is a no brainer for me. With that said, again, I am merely 1 vote. I recommend trying to sway the other jurors, as my mind is made up. I may pipe in here and there tonight, but that's about it. I wish you all luck, but I'm going to continue rooting for Michelle. SO PROUD OF YOU BY THE WAY! #FuckAllYall
