As much as Thiago works, I see Knox bringing home this victory...which means Thiago probably joins us next.
I think that Knox has the most compelling story arc between his two seasons of anyone. Pretty certain he is in the finals and I'm excited to hear what he has to say.

I think Knox wants Cassie to leave this round because he thinks she'll win in a landslide vote. I would personally love to see Thiago join us though. Because yeah, I don't think he has a single person on this jury fooled with the game he played.

I really have a lot of respect for all four of them.
For me, if AJ can get to the end with two previous winners, I'll be rooting for her all the way. I think that's an impressive feat and I'd want to reward her for it. No hard feelings on my end with her. I love Cassie/Ryan but I think it would be neat to have six different winners... that's probably uncouth in regards to jury consideration but whatever.
If he's there though, Knox has my vote almost hands down. I think his arc has been incredible. He may not have been the mastermind or a competition beast or even the best socialite but when I take a look at his journey it's hard not to nod my head and give him a hand. He has been a breath of fresh air most of the time and he seems to genuinely have grown in a lot of ways.
With Thiago, I do love him out of the game and in time I will be able to look past all of this (I think) but there's no way that I can give him my vote. The emotional manipulation/guilt tripping that he tried with me (whether he truly realizes that he did it or not) sits very unsettlingly with me.
He played many sides for the first half of the game and fueled a lot of the drama between AJ and myself. When confronted with the evidence, his strategy was to make me feel bad for even questioning him and his undying loyalty to me... using our longterm friendship out of the game against me... it just makes me feel really dirty and leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
No one likes being manipulated and for him to continue to try and lie about his actions even in rites... it just makes me feel like he doesn't respect my intelligence as a person. It really is painful to think about even if it is just a game.

Pretty certain he is in the finals and I'm excited to hear what he has to say. I kinda agree with you and I will add that his Rites of Passage was much more honest than the others. Especially for mine he didn't sugarcoat it and everything he said did happen (except the whole fat thing personally wasn't not meant the way he took it). What makes me mad is the fact that Thiago acts always like a victim. I blocked him for good reason which is that he was being fake and continued to talk to me whilst I was on Jury. I feel as if he is oblivious to actions he has taken or he just doesn't want to accept them. Either way I think out of the Final 4 he is least likely to receive my vote. |

I'm so torn at this point. I don't think I'll be able to decide between Cassie and Knox, they've both played great games and the only thing really tipping me either way is that Cassie already won... but then again I've done my best to look at her like Cassie and not Ryan... blah this is hard.

They're pretty equal. Both of them needed an idol played in their favor at the right time to get here and both were in the minority at one point on their tribes. I think Cassie loses points in my book for using so many repeat-alliance Season 3 players (mainly AJ) to get to this point, but I think he gains points back by being the stronger player in his pairing while Knox did kinda hide behind me once we got to about the Final 8/7. I actually do want to hear what each of these finalists have to say in their jury statements.

I don't really feel like Cassie used an Season 3 alliances to her aid this season though. Sure AJ was from season 3, but they are friends far outside the game so it's only fitting they paired up this time since "Ryan" went against AJ in season 3. This is All Stars so everyone came in knowing at least one person. As for the other season 3 people, she was on the opposite side of pretty much all of us the entire game haha! I think she'll be joining us in jury next anyway so this doesn't matter, but I think she played amazingly and I would hate to see her gameplay downplayed because she sided with a friendship because that was pretty much the theme of this season lol. I really want her to make finals though  GO CASS-HOLE! |

How is that being dishonest lulz Either he's still lying or he's just literally delusional and believes he's the victim in every situation ever. Oh wait I think we already know which.  If Knox votes out Thiago with AJ/Cassie I would consider voting for him. It may be best if he's with AJ/Cassie if he thinks they may split votes. He'd have the best odds in that situation, otherwise I don't see him winning regardless. |

I actually do want to hear what each of these finalists have to say in their jury statements. I can think of three idol scenarios that helped Cassie lol 1/ Chase's idol (since ppl wanted to vote her out over Michael in the re vote) 2/ Mark's idol (Mark ended up pulling rocks.) 3/ when AJ or Cassie found an idol the next week (chall was thrown because of that) smh but I like Cassie the most out of the 4 so good for her. I'd find it hard to vote for Knox cuz we barley spoke and some of his comments were wtf ish considering this is an all stars game. Unless he can explain why he said them then maybe id be open because all their gameplay is the same. Idols helped that side get to the end. |

For some reason Thiago and Cassie annoy me the most out of the people remaining. While I think Cassie is an awesome person outside of this game I just haven't been a huge fan of hers this season. For me it kinda seemed like she was despondent and therefore had a lack of desire to be here. Maybe I am the only one who feels that way. Also subsequently I think this is what has attributed to her lack of sociability which is normally her trademark. Ultimately in the context of Survivor she has only thus far proven to have outlasted us and hasn't particularly outshined anyone.
