Judgement

[Host]

Welcome to Judgment. You must use image editing software and the parchment below to vote. Below are questions that might help guide your tribe, or expose its members, but regardless of their implications you must answer them along with your vote. Failure to answer questions at two Judgments will result in a self-vote. If you do not vote within the prescribed time limit, your voting list will be taken into affect.

Knox: How does it feel to have made it to the Final Judgement?


OhMyGosh I'm SO excited. Coming into this game I knew that challenges were not my thing like I never really expected to win this challenge. But I wanted this so bad that I just went ham on this immunity challenge, I got all the images and a clock and it was just like amazing. I just feel so proud that I finally won a challenge! I never ever get to win challenges so this is exciting, ESPECIALLY considering the fact that it means I get to go to the Final Judgement.

I can't stop beaming, I am so happy. And yet, I am absolutely terrified of what I know I'm going to have to endure in order to [hopefully] win the game. It's like a weird combination between absolute elation and a fear of failure and confrontation. But I am mostly just happy to have made it.

Why should you stay?

I guess this is my plea to AJ, Cassie, and Knox! Congrats on immunity btw, Knox

You only need to take a look at my "Remembering the Fallen" compared to everyone else's to see why I should stay.

Unlike last season where my game was social heavy, my social game was admittedly terrible this time around. I didn't connect with many people outside of what became my alliance which will be only 2 of the 9 jury members. That's simple math. I can come up with about a million excuses why my social game was so poor this season, but excuses don't fly in an All Star game where people have poured their blood, sweat, and tears into the competition and want to vote for who really earned it. I'm not going to apologize because I'm not going to neglect commitments I have outside of the game, but this doesn't change the fact that I don't have any cheerleaders on the jury this season.

I think I let me emotions get the best of me at times in the game this time, and I made a whole lot more enemies compared to last season when I kept my emotions in check and was able to slide by undetected and pander to the jury. This time around, I put my foot in my mouth a few too many times before the merge, and we all know the game became a game of casino craps come the merge with idol palooza when I was brought into an alliance (finally).

If my competition is smart, Mister God, they will not vote me off. They all have friends on that jury, people they have had relationships with before the game, and people they can sway. It's only in their best interest to keep the person they don't have to worry will take votes away from them. Instead, they should be more concerned about which person they may split votes with in the end. We've all made it this far together, working as a team. It's only fair, in my opinion, that our decisions be based on strategy. However, of course I'm going to say that because otherwise I may be sitting on the jury..

But to be honest, given how much we've splurged about how much we love and care for one another, it is a little bit insulting to whoever goes if the vote isn't based on strategy. It's a huge slap in the face to anyone who goes at this point because they are "less" your friend. My feelings would be a lot less hurt if it was based on strategy, but I think everyone here can agree that I'm one of the lesser threats going into this Final Judgment. Although I may have won last season, it was a close 5-4 vote and I lost quite a few votes due to my performance during the questioning period, which is also something to consider.

We all know the people on the jury, and if you think these people are going to vote based on who writes the most eloquently, you probably don't know them as well as you should. Given the emotions we've seen from these jurors, we know raw emotion is going to be valued more than the vocabulary we use when answering questions. These people can see through bullshit, they're going to want real answers and it's going to come down to the game we played and who they respect the most. Think about the games we've all played and who really has an argument to win that you can't argue against, because at the end of the day, after this vote, the last 2 left become your opponents. We're all opponents at this point. Keep that in mind when you're voting.

If you put me on the jury, I'll happily take my seat, but I think it's a head-scratching mistake that will definitely need some explaining when I get a say in who wins this shindig.

To the Three UnImmune: Why should you stay?

I think I should stay because I came into this, and I didn't play anything near to a perfect game. My game has definitely been full of mistakes, and I think that the two others who make it to the final 3 could make several valid arguments against why I deserve the win. I think I should be taken because it would give the two others sitting next to me more of an even playing field to win the game.

I totally think I'd be easy to beat in the end. I suck at defending myself and I'm not nearly as eloquent and persuasive with my words as the others here are. And I don't know if there's anyone who would respect the fact that I was such an emotional wreck throughout this entire game. Also, the view count on my Rites of Passage is a good bit lower than everyone's else's, and I can't help but wonder if that's significant. Maybe people don't want to hear what i have to say as much as they want to hear everyone else; who knows!
