Judgement Votes

[aj]

Wendy, I didn't want to cast a vote for you, but there really isn't any other option. Ironically, even though you'll be (hopefully) receiving 3 votes, you have a lot of power on the outcome of what happens. Just depends on if and how you utilize it. This vote could end up backfiring pretty badly, but it's a risk that needs to be taken.

[aj]

Colleen, I hope you know that this vote is 100000% strategic. I know we've never been that close, but I think you're such a nice person, and whenever we do get to talk, I really enjoy it. Your dogs are the cutest ever! haha. There are obviously a lot of scenarios that are possible on this vote, and I truly have no idea what's going to happen. More more likely than not, you're going to be safe. So this is almost more of a vote against Ben, which is tough, but I don't have a strategically rational reason of why we should be casting our votes for him. I'm just hoping for the best with this vote, but if it's my time to go, then it's my time to go.

Selena, I honestly feel bad casting a vote for you. You're the only one on the "other side" that still talks to me, and that is something that actually means a lot to me. However, my alliance thinks you're the least likely to play an idol, so I'm just taking that gamble along with them. If you do play it, well then that sucks for one of us, but if you don't, then at least you'll be safe from purple rocks. I realize that this vote for you could backfire greatly, but with the odds so slim in our favor, anyone we vote for is going to be a risk. I guess we just decided that the risk we will take is to vote for you. I hope you understand why I am doing this.



In addition, I would like to play my hidden immunity idol on Knox. Again, another huge risk. And potential for me to look like one of the biggest idiots in GvsE history. But if I go, whether because they voted for me or because I pull the purple rock, that will mean my 4 allies made the top 9, which will make me just as happy as if I were to make it.

Colleen, I hope you know that this vote is strictly strategic. And quite frankly, this vote is just another guessing game for my alliance. I think you're such a nice, kind-hearted person and I wish so badly that we talked more and I knew you better, because you seem like such a great ally. But once again, we're on different sides. My alliance is taking a gamble that you're not playing an idol tonight. It's a risk to vote for any of you guys, so I guess voting you is the risk that we've chosen to take. I'm sorry, and I really hope you know that I like you as a person, but in a game sense, it just doesn't benefit me to keep you around.

Ellen, it's definitely weird that it took me until the final 8 to cast this vote. But hey, you weren't even vulnerable up until now! Like always, this vote is purely strategic. We're splitting the votes in case you play an idol, but 3 of our votes are going on you for obvious reasons; you are such a big threat. I know that's such a generic thing to say, but it's true. You're so great at this game! Your sweet and friendly personality makes everyone fall in love with you, your charm makes people listen to you, and your intelligence and will make you amazing at challenges and finding idols. You're just so perfect at this game. And that is the only reason I want you out. Nothing throughout this whole game was personal AT ALL!! I honestly love you as a person, so if you ever heard from anyone that I hate you, I really hope you didn't listen to that. Although, I suppose that's hypocritical of me to say, since my reason for targeting you initially was because I heard things that you said about me. And I'm sorry for doing that, it was honestly immature and more of me looking for an excuse to go after someone than anything else. I really look up to you as a player, and I just wish I were as good as you. Maybe if someday we both end up in another ORG together, we'll be able to work together instead of against each other. That would be a real honor for me.

Hopefully you don't play yet another idol this round, but if you do, I'm just hoping that I won't be the victim

[aj]

I have to admit, I am absolutely relieved that you didn't play an idol tonight. But wow, it's not even hitting me that you're actually leaving the game. Coming into this game, I thought there would be absolutely no way I would place higher than you. I mean, you're ranked the #1 best player of the whole series. It's an odd feeling to be voting you off, because I really truly didn't know if this day was going to come. Because in all honesty, I didn't think there was any way you could lose this game. Even after Selena went home and you were in the minority, I just thought you were too good at this to lose.

This is the only time you've been vulnerable this entire game, which you should take as a huge accomplishment. I'm sure that making the final 8 never being vulnerable is a first in this series. Unfortunately, we had to take this rare chance to take you out.

If there is anything that I did in this game that rubbed you the wrong way, or you still think my motives were personal, I hope we can clear the air after this game. I think you're an amazing person, and I feel terrible if I made it seem like I thought anything otherwise. You've just been my biggest threat since the day this started, and there was no way I could pass on this opportunity.

[aj]

I don't know how much you're going to dislike me after this. I don't know how long you're going to not talk to me for after this, either. You asked me to at least consider voting with you this round. And trust me, I did. Probably a little too much. Ben, I need you to know that I think the world of you. I seriously love you soooo much, and I will tell anyone how great I think you are. The people who get to see you everyday are so lucky. You're one of the most kind-hearted people I've ever met. I really think that sometimes you get caught up in the game, but at the end of the day, you just have a heart of gold. You're right about what you said; you welcomed me into your life and into your heart, and that's something I don't take lightly. So it really makes me sad to cast this vote for you. I really hope that you know that it's 1000% strategic. If I was voting even slightly personally, I would not be voting for you. I love you so much, and I just really hope that you'll still talk to me after this, because losing your friendship is not worth making it far into this game

[aj]

Wow. The time has finally come. And to be honest, I really didn't know if it ever would come. Dominic, you are such an amazing player that I really didn't think there was anyway I would make it further than you in this game. I know you're not happy with me right now, which hurts me a lot. I came into this game intending to be 100000% loyal to you, but you broke that trust very early on, and never did anything afterwards to gain my trust back; well, until you were in the minority and needed me.

I know that you're hurt by this vote, and trust me, I HATE hurting you. Seriously, I hate it. I love you SO much outside of this game. I can't even tell you how much our conversations mean to me. You have this effect on me where anything you tell me has a huge emotional effect on me. Which is good, because you always make me smile, no matter what we're talking about. However, anything negative you say to me hurts me a lot, which I know is not your intention, but it's just what happens. In spite of all that, I really treasure our friendship. The fact that me casting a vote for you in this game might change your feelings for me really makes me sad. If you had done this to me, I wouldn't have let it affect our relationship at all, so I can only hope that soon enough, you'll have the same mindset.

I don't really know what else to say, other than I love you and I think you're an amazing person. This vote is seriously far from personal. I just hope that after this game, you'll want to continue talking to me.

Look, no matter what I'm going to do, I'm going to lose this game. I know you say I'll lose against Cassie, that people look at me as blindly following her throughout this game, and all of that. I know you said that in order for me to have a shot at winning, I need to vote her out now. But I really think that if you make it past this round, you'll win the game. I know you said you would give me final 4 immunity, and vote out Knox. But whether you mean that or not, I don't think it does anything for me other than betray the one person who told me they will never vote me out, and honestly, I believe her. I know you said I'm voting based on friendship, and maybe you're right and I'm just oblivious to my own reasoning behind what I'm doing. However, this is the decision I have decided to make. If Cassie beats me in this game and feels great about using me as her goat again, then I'm willing to live with that.

I really hope you know how much I enjoyed working with you in this game, especially in the tribal portion. i LOVED being on the same tribe as you. It was just a comforting feeling knowing I had such a smart person on my tribe to help in challenges, and stick with me on the vote. I loved all of our ghang calls, and just strategizing with you about everything this whole time. You always gave me such a logical view about everything, and I loved that. I've learned a lot from you throughout this whole game.

You've given me a logical reasoning as to why you should keep you right now. Trust me, I thought about it. But my decision is solely strategic. Whether outside of these games Cassie is my best friend or my worst enemy, I am looking at my in-game relationship with her compared to my in-game relationship with you. You offered me a lot of stuff, but it's just too late.

[aj]

Wow. I honestly never ever expected to do this.

I don't know what to say that I haven't already. It should go without saying that this vote is anything but personal. If I was voting personally, I would send you into a tie against Thiago so we could try and make the finals together. Then I would accept you beating me at the final judgement. And we'll look back on this game on how we made it to the finals in 2 Justin All Stars games. (Which, the fact that that's even possible is pretty impressive.)

I can't help but think back to BBprime, when Juice evicted Andii at final 4. She took it extremely personally, and it had a significant effect on their 5 years of friendship. Now, here we are, 4 years later, with nearly 5 years of friendship. And I'm doing this to you. if this affected our relationship, I'd be devastated. I'm just glad that won't be the case.

Maybe I'm being greedy, Cassie. But I'd like to hope that you'll understand that I'm just playing the game. I've played with my head this entire time; I can't stop now. I don't think I can beat you in the finals; I really don't. And I feel like I need to cast this vote for you to have any sort of shot at winning the game.

I love you to death and I sincerely hope that we'll be friends forever. This kills me. I know it's just a game, but it sucks that I'm doing this to you after 46 days. And I'm really, really sorry.
