Final Remarks - Jury

[Snakelena]

~ Last Confessional ~

Justin I appreciated the opportunity to come back for a third and final time to try and prove myself. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to for multiple reasons which I want to discuss. Firstly, I want to say that I adore your games, but this season is among the worst of the entire series. You're not responsible for it rather it has been a complete and utter train wreck because of the people in it and the whole controversy that started pregame. What has set the tone of the game has been the whole contrived AJ/Ellen rivalry which essentially split the game before it even started. Since Week #1 I was pressured by people who I thought I could call my "friends". Instead of being genuine I feel as if I was only a chess piece being used by both sides only to gain them numbers. Due to my vote in Week #3 I was pretty much forced into an alliance with Ellen and Co. For me it was the most silliest and childish thing to see people automatically figure there were sides forming because of that vote even though I ultimately made my OWN decision. It's like just because I wanted to further my own game and feared that Knox was lying I got persecuted by a whole group of people then I was shunned. Who plays a game like that? I came into this game wanting to be my own person, but unfortunately I never was able to fully because of the pettiness of a non-existent rivalry. It saddens me as to ponder that people will think I've been playing other peoples games, particularly Ellen, for them rather than sticking up for myself. Well I would tell those people they are wrong because personally I believe that my Hannah vote was the one that set the tone for the rest of the game unfortunately.

Also, I would like to add that this game has been one of the ugliest and most personal games that I have ever played in my entire ORG history. An example would be the whole Knox controversy which should be noted was not started by me (if you ask him it was because I had the nerve to vote out Hannah - get over yourself bro). For him to even say that I made derogatory and racial comments (all I said was "Adios Chico!" ) was absolutely unequivocally out of line. Yet, it was fine for him to call me an imbecile during the challenge that week because he said the "others" (Cassie/Thiago/Henry/AJ) thought it was hysterical. It should be noted that I never once have ever treated anyone in that manner and it appalls me to think that people in a game would use that as a "strategy". Furthermore, it appalls me that people like Henry are going around spreading lies that I used racial and derogatory comments MULTIPLE times. All I feel is sadness for these people because they need to learn to grow up and become mature individuals. Sure I have done immature things in this game, but I have NEVER taken it to the point where I have slandered someone's reputation through false accusations and claims. Also, somehow Knox believes I have personally attacked him by calling him "fat" which another false accusation. While I did in a conversation say the word "fat" it was making reference metaphorically to him continually spewing our vicious lies against me and it was "physically" showing. Ultimately, another thing I was sick of in this game was AJ and Co.'s whole poor me and victim card. They truly are deluded enough to think they are the victim of everything and that everyone is unnecessarily mean to them. They bring a lot of stuff upon themselves because of their immature, childish, demeaning and irrational behavior. Thank goodness when this game is over and done with I will never have to speak to any of these people ever again.

It should be noteworthy to also mention my alliance with Dominic, Ellen, Luca, Colleen, Ben, and myself. I really felt like the odd ball out of this alliance from the beginning because I feel like Isimply didn't fit in. All of them knew each other relatively well from the past whereas I only really knew Dominic and Ellen. Dominic assured many times that I was fine, but apparently not fine enough to be the second one out. While Dominic was my number one ally in the game it doesn't seem like his feelings were the same. Once again I was indirectly taken out of a game because he wouldn't listen to me and use the idol on me by someone I trusted the most. Truly in this game the only person that really surprised me was Luca. I really hope he was genuine with me because he was by far one of my favorite people in this game. I came into the game not wanting to make any friends because it would only distract me, but then I met Luca. He always made me feel like I had a place in the group and he was always nice to me. Also, he actually listened to my output rather than push it to the side. He helped me grow as a player and I just really appreciate him. As for the bigger picture in my alliance I feel as if people never wanted to hear anything that I had to say because they thought I was stupid and unaware in this game which ultimately got me voted off. What I have to say to them and the rest of the people inside this game is that I was pretty well aware of what was going on and I'm far from stupid.

~ Commentary ~

According to Justin's calculations in the challenge...

Tied for 4th in biggest villain

- Apparently, I was a huge villian in this game even though I didn't do anything. I've been portrayed by their side as some evil monster because I never got along with their poor little Knox and voted out their snake Hannah. Honestly, I'd rather be a villain than a kiss ass.

1st in never to speak to again

- I'm glad that people will never want to speak to me again because I sure as heck don't want anything to do with psychotic cast or many of it's people EVER again. These people are the kind of people that think they're "Mean Girls" or are trying to act like the stereotypical catty, bitchy gay guy persona. When in actuality the only thing they are doing is just embarrassing themselves by taking this game to a personal and hurtful level. As for me, I have been mean and started drama, but the major difference is that I can separate my game persona from my real-life persona whereas many of these people cannot. Also, I'd like to say that really the only one's I think I will communicate after this game will be Luca, Dominic, Ellen, and Michael.

Tied for first in never cast in the first place

- I think this should have applied to several people in the game. For example, personally I think AJ, Knox, Michael, and Hannah should never have been cast in this game. Unlike most of the people in this game I actually came into the game a Season 1 runner-up which many people forget as well as a Season 5 darling. It's probably based off jealousy that people ranked me in this category because they know I deserved to be here. Call me delusional, but I am much more entertaining then some of these other people.

1st in made the worst moves

- Only reason I was given this distinction is because I didn't fall to the knees of AJ and Co. Sorry I have my OWN mind and decided to keep Luca in Week #3 instead of Hannah. I'm not other people's puppets and I'm sure as heck not playing their game for them. I think people in this game have real nerve to rank me here considering all game they've hidden behind their "masters" and were reluctant to make any moves. At least when I look back I am proud of my OWN game play not others.

Selena's Slithering Statements & Questionsss

This has no doubt been the craziest game I have ever played. Each of you added to the craziness which is neither particularly good nor is it bad. Also, before I address each of you I would like to say that while I may have been overtly bitter within the Jury it does not mean that I dislike any of you personally. All of you were able to make it this far which means you did at least something right and I applaud you for that.

~ AJ ~

Oh, AJ there's definitely a lot that can be said about you. Starting with the pros I think that out of everyone left your gameplay was the most visible and consistent throughout the game. Simply because of that I believe you should deserve some praise because you somehow always avoided being a target. Also, from a Jurors perspective it seemed like you used a lot of your personal friendships outside of this game to your advantage and you didn't seem to care whether you damaged them or not. However, let's be realistic that kind of strategy has also proven to be somewhat detrimental to your game since it's changed people's perception of you. Also, it paints you as someone who is ruthless which is both a good and bad thing. Alas my question to you is what was your best & worst move in this game? Additionally, I would like to have an indepth description as to your initial strategy, and what your actual overall game strategy became.

~ Knox ~

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm genuinely shocked you made it this far. Reason being because I think out of everyone in this Final 3 you had the most to overcome and prove. It seems as if you definitely have the ability to sell yourself as potentially being an underdog. While I do give you props for that there are definitely some critiques that I have. One being that from my vantage point and from what others have stated it seemed like you rode on others coattails for quite awhile in this game. With that being said I would like for you to describe in detail as to why that's a wrong portrayl of you (omit winning the last Immunity too & having others use idols on you). Secondly, in the context of the game it seemed as if you didn't own up to some of your behavior. For example, when I asked you about the "imbecile" banner during an Immunity challenge you stated that others thought it was funny therefore you continued using it. So my question is do you feel that certain people were egging on our feud and if so who was it and why?

~ Thiago ~

I'm sure you are still probably wondering as to why I blocked you once I left the game. The reason I blocked you was because I knew that once I left you were going to try to butter me up. You had already sent me a sad face or whatever after my departure which was the beginning of something I didn't want to deal with. In other words quite frankly your attempt at trying to emotionally connect with people comes off as fake, cold, and relatively annoying. Also, your ego, arrogance, and playing victim in this game has hurt you rather than helped you. Finally, I have already made my mind up on you so before you become Dr. Phil and try to explain everything to me please do not.

Good luck to each of you!
