Judgement # 8



[Wendy]

Private Reason: If I am going to have any control in this game, then I need to know what to expect from others. You're unpredictable, irrational, and emotional... all the things I hate in a Survivor player. I am not about to let you coast along on your "Cunty" act. Why were you an All Star?

Judgement #11



[Luca]

Private Reason: Don't be upset that I'm voting for you, be happy that you might be getting immunity if we go to a purple rock.

Judgement #12



[Selena]

Private Reason: It's all just a guessing game. Adios!

[henry]

Judgement #13



[Colleen]

Private Reason: While someone might still give you the idol, you seem the least likely to find one on your own.

Judgement #14



[Ellen]

Private Reason: You've made it to Judgement 14 without once being vulnerable. That's amazing. The massive target on your back, however, is something I just can't ignore. I gotta take this shot while it's available.

Judgement #15



[Ben]

Private Reason: I'm only voting for you because Dominic won immunity. I can't keep both of you in the game. Sorry!

[henry]

Judgement #16



[Dominic]

Private Reason: A boring vote because I don't care to have a fight with Dominic on his way out of the game.

Private Reason: It's either you or me.

Final Judgement



[Knox]

While I was constantly shifting my vote between the three of you coming into the Final Judgement, I feel best about casing my vote tonight for Knox.

Thiago - I'm sorry for spelling your name wrong most of the game! I'm also sorry I cannot give you my vote tonight. First, you lied to me multiple times throughout the game while the two people you went to the end with lied little or not at all. Yes, this gives you points for manipulation, but I typically could see through your lies as documented in my confessional, so it wasn't exactly effective. Secondly, I felt your Final Task to me displayed the least amount of effort of the 3. I felt this way because you didn't really say anything different than in your RTF, and nothing about it compelled me to vote for you. Thirdly, you had Mark campaigning very hard for you to win, which actually tends to turn me off as a juror, because I admittedly root for underdogs. Lastly, and maybe most importantly tonight, the other two people sitting next to you blew you out of the water in regards to the social game. I completely understand why you acted distant as part of your strategy, but you missed out on the daily bonding that I really value as a juror. Maybe that's one way that we differ. As evidenced by you thinking I didn't do much scrambling with the others in the Final 5, I don't think you had a complete grasp on this game like you've kinda led yourself to believe. I won't be surprised if you get enough votes to win (I think all 3 of you are good winners), as I think the other 2 might split the votes they would have needed, but you're not going to get a vote from me. Take care!

AJ - You're awesome, and I hope you never forget that! I think you took a lot of undeserved (and some deserved) shit this season, but I was impressed by the maturity you displayed in your Final Judgement answers. I also respected your honesty in the Final 5. I do think Knox out-preformed you in my final task. Your answer just had TOO much in it, and came across a bit like a undergraduate speech class presentation instead of something that displayed reflection and thoughtfulness. I think you played strongly at the end, but I'm not sure it was enough to sway my vote. Ultimately I have to conclude that you have a little more growth that you need to do as an individual player before you'd get my vote to win, but the fantastic news is that you're not an old man like me so you have time to do that. You have a new, amazing chapter in your life coming up, and I really think it's going to be a very positive thing. Be very proud of what you did this game!

Knox - While AJ tried too hard in her answer, and Thiago not hard enough, my opinion was that you gave the answer that had the most balance and I felt like you reflected most on the task I gave you. Having to do it in English prolly helped you because you had to think more about what you were going to say.

Some people are going to say you were a follower in this game, but because I got a front row seat to the show I know that wasn't the case. For example, I would observe that you did the best job moderating the GHang calls that I couldn't attend, and you were typically the one responsible for relaying information about the vote to whoever wasn't in the meeting. Other times, you displayed confidence by being a team player, like when you were ok with being the "target" in the Wendy vote off.

The biggest reason, however, why you are getting my vote tonight is because I think you had the most to overcome in your path to the end. You attended 3 more tribal councils than the others and you were the only person to be on all 3 tribes. You experienced being in both the minority and the majority. In a game where immunities and idols were passed out like party favors, you were hardly ever guaranteed the safety that AJ, Thiago, and myself were so often awarded.

Will you win? I'm not sure. I think your clashes with the other emotional players in the game might have been a turn off to some. I, however, am a sucker for a good story arc and so you get my vote tonight. Good luck!
