Looking back at questions it looks like you ranked me #7 for strategy. I realize why you’d do that on a personal level but I took that harsh too. You must not expect my vote at all. You came out saying I was the glue to Jaruud and Oranor and I think that just by saying that I’m in a dumb show called Joey (who is my favorite member of friends beeteedubs) is dumb if I was such a pivotal player to get rid of that round at F8 which you made CLEAR is how you felt. Matt Bischoff @ 21/6/2015 0:28 Everyone - Answer this, because the other less bias jurors will read these and appreciate them! I want you to rank the jury in 2 ways. I want you to rank them on a personal level (who you liked/appreciated the most), and on a strategic level (who you were affiliated with most in the game). I also want you all to compare each juror to a television show - Friends, Game of Thrones, etc. No long descriptions necessary, just little tidbits/a few sentences each. However, for the people ranked near the top of your "personal" ranking, I would love some quotes or instances of friendship to show our social game. I request you to read my answer to Hali's question (when I post it, JESUS that one is taking a loooooong time :P )

No joke though. Hali you are intense! And Fran you got it easy. Chelsea and I have an entire extra paragraph to write ;p

I'll try to get to you as soon as I can, but I'm trying to do people who have been waiting awhile first.

Hey Fabio! Long time no see sadly.
Lmao, counting Twisted as part of my game history is like counting the penny you found on the ground as part of your paycheck. It’s basically nonexistent. Anyways, onwards! Of course I milked the Chase vote and of course Tyler was my best man helping to ensure the plan went down accordingly. I know a lot of people are always so concerned about players making a big move so I just put that out there and used it as much as I could in my opening statement so I didn’t have to worry about it as much in the questions. I personally think I made a lot of smaller moves that all added up to be a big move and by now, from reading my answers to questions, people should be able to see the under-the-radar game I played and base their vote on that. By the way, spontaneousness is unfortunately not a word :p

That’s what makes it even more exciting though! Fran is getting a free ride while I get to work hard for these votes and show that I am no slacker. I think people don’t realize how many votes I actually got in this game. I don’t even know how many I got because it was a lot. The fact that I’m still sitting here even after I got votes at 4 separate tribal councils proves that I am a fighter. Plus, Chelsea obviously had bonds with both Fran and Misty so if I had left that round instead of Misty, Chelsea probably would’ve flipped on the Jaruuds so GOOD choice Jaruud! 

I think I prefer weasel honestly. It has a nice ring to it. Why do some people consider me a weasel even though I had defined allies? Well, I think this all goes back to my middleman position. On paper, I was definitely like another loyal member of the Jaruuds simply because I voted with them most of the time. However, in reality, I was definitely playing the middle and because I let the other alliance try to persuade me to vote with them yet never really ended up doing it until later in the game, they started to think I was just messing with them. They began to think I was just filtering all their pleas out the window like the weasel I apparently am when I actually really was considering voting with them on more than a couple occasions. I love you Jaruuds, but the Chonos got some parties going on over there too and I wanted in on some of that action. I heard Fran and Ciera’s trips to exile were pretty eventful and how could I miss out on that?

I was definitely all in on voting Ciera at F7 because of the reasons I said in both Hali & Ciera’s respective questions and because it was in memory of you Fabio! Like how could you not? I don’t see how I’m the weasel here when Chelsea and I got targeted by our own allies after we were trying to avenge our fallen comrade. It was definitely not the smartest move for Jaruud because it gave me ammo to flip on them and that’s ultimately what led to their demise, although I’m sure Ciera was more than overjoyed at the outcome. They definitely could have got her out and then me/Chelsea in the next round, but like I said in Hali’s question, it’s not a matter of if to flip; it’s a matter of WHEN to flip and they flipped a round too early in my opinion. However, you don’t see me arguing because it helped me tremendously in the long run. So GOOD choice again Jaruud 



Do I regret taking Hali out instead of Fran? Honestly, I hate being wishy-washy in these kinds of situations, but yes and no; more so no just so I’m not as wishy-washy. Yes, because Fran obviously has her Chonos people liking every comment she makes and are more than likely going to vote for her at the end. No though, because TO ME, Hali was by far the bigger threat to my game compared to Fran. If you think about it, Fran will probably get her Chonos votes and most of us knew that coming into the FTC, but she definitely has to work for these Jaruud votes because she didn’t connect with y’all on the same level she did with Chonos. If you look at me in this situation, I was much closer to Jaruud than Fran was and so I actually have a good chance at getting many of the Jaruud votes (and Tyler I didn’t forget about you bro). Now reverse the situation and say Fran was gone at F6 and Hali stayed. I think it would have been very possible for Hali to make the FTC. This is MUCH worse for my game. Say the FTC consisted of me, Chelsea, and Hali. Hali would have definitely had a much better shot at getting the Jaruud votes than Fran does simply because she was aligned with you guys the whole game. In my case, this takes away all the votes that I would have had a lot easier if I was up against Fran. So then you have to look to the Chonos votes. Who do you think the Chonos would vote for? Misty and Ciera were both with Hali on NuJaruud, Matt felt personally disrespected by me, and Fran has said on multiple occasions that she totally respects the game that Hali played. Case and point. Hali would have stolen all the Jaruud votes I would have if I was up against Fran and she would have gotten all the Chonos votes resulting in a big win for Hali. Overall, for MY game, Hali was by far the bigger threat because at the FTC, Hali would have dominated against me much more than Fran. So to answer your question, I’m going to have to say no because I think against Fran, I have a chance whereas against Hali, I didn’t. Hali would have swept the Chonos votes against me and she had bigger bonds with more of the Jaruuds than I did.
I think I already got most of the Misty/Matt concerns answered throughout the various questions. Basically, besides all the reasons I have already listed in the other juror’s questions, taking out Misty and Matt really did prove my loyalty to you Fabio and the Jaruuds as a whole. You had proved your loyalty to me on more than one occasion and it was honestly a way of repaying you while at the same time accomplishing all the other things I have stated about the Misty/Matt votes. Your demise definitely led to my own success. I don’t know how many people know it and I have no idea how true this was, but you were saying you wanted a Final 3 with me, you, and Hali in it. Had that actually occurred, I would have been the ultimate goat in that situation and there was next to no way I was winning that. Had you not left the game in the fashion you did, I think it would have come to a point where I would know I had to vote you out because you were a tremendous threat, but it would have been emotionally taxing. Otherwise if I didn’t get you first, there would probably have come a time where your fellow Jaruud members wanted me gone so it could be like an all-Jaruud Final 4 or something. No matter the case, if you hadn’t left the game, I would probably not win the game.

Do I regret voting Matt over Fran. 50 times yes! I honestly would have voted for Fran had the Jaruuds suggested it. As I did say in Matt’s question, it was our biggest mistake taking him out. Keeping in Fran was mostly personal I think because Chelsea had a very close connection with Fran as the two of them have stated and because she had that personal affair with Matt. Like I said, I didn’t want to lose Chelsea’s trust because I knew she was someone I could trust 100% if I showed her I was loyal to her. With that said, I also know that if Fran had went that round, you and Hali would both be in the game and you never would have gotten idoled out which goes back to what I said before about how the two of you were much bigger threats to win the game against ME personally than Fran is so I think in all actuality, it worked out better for me this way than if we had gotten rid of Fran instead of Matt. I’m not saying I don’t regret it, but the more I think about it, it actually did help my game as a whole so I personally don’t think it was as big of a mistake as you and I originally thought.
