Hello and congrats to the final 3! Sorry I'm posting this too late, I want to quickly address each of you that may help you with one simple task I have for you. I've worked with each of you during this game and had some amazing conversations with all 3 of you so this makes my decision a tough one.
Frany You've been called a gamebot, it's been brought up that you've relied on your challenge wins to get here. It did come down to the two of us in that last endurance challenge and we could've been in each other's shoes now. While in the beginning of the game I thought you were a little pushy with the game chat and didn't really let anything organic happen on a personal level. Towards the end of the game the ice queen persona did wear off and eventually we had other things to talk about, however simply from my first impression about you I wasn't sure if it was sincere or more calculated tactics. Either way is a valid strategy. You've played an impressive physical game, but I'm left wondering if any one of a Chonos could've slipped by and if it was your strategy that put you there. I bonded with Ciera pretty quickly on a personal level, I thought Misty was lovely, but apparently it's like pulling teeth to talk to me according to her, hehe. To make reference from The Shining, like your OS, all work and no play makes Fran a dull girl. Prove me wrong and make me excited to want to vote for you!
Chelsea Heeey Chels. I don't know if most of the jury knows or appreciates you like I do. We had a bond from NuJaruud after the Christine debacle and ever since then we could always work out our differences and you were able to adapt to the circumstances. You did seem like a reactionary player, and get emotional at times. I really do think you lost a passion in the game. I know you were setting up hosting your own game but could that not have waited until this game was over, if you really felt committed to the game? You could've reached out to more people and been more available to talk to people. The thing that impressed me the most with you this game was the round after Christine when we were both going after each other. We we able to talk it out and put things in the past. There were other moments in the game where we didn't see eye to eye but we were able to talk openly about most things and it brought the two of us far in the game. What I don't see is the passion for the game and I want you to show that and prove me wrong.
Brett Hey buddy. I'm glad we got to properly work together towards the end. I'm trying to work out your game if you were going UTR or were you playing the middle and pulling the strings? Out of the three, I think we probably spoke the least so I want to read more about your game. This goes to Chelsea's credit as well but it is impressive that you were able to ride that duo to the end and fill two thirds of the finalist spots. I'm really glad we had our time in the end, you're a very affable dude who I would be excited to vote for. I'd just like to hear more about your game, I can definitely appreciate a UTR game but it's a hell of a sell to the jury.
PART TWO
Okay now time for the simple task. This wouldn't be a rave without music, right? I want each of you to find a song that best describes you, your game, or however you feel about the game in general. I don't want you to address me with anything else, just the song, however you can highlight some of the more pertinent lyrics. Music is like one of the top 10 passions in my life. So again, please don't respond to my comments above, just the song and leave the interpretation to me. If you'd like to post the lyrics, bold some, or whatever that's fine. Good luck y'all!
Ever since I could remember, Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in (oh oh oh oh)
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
If I may add, just a quick question to Fran. What was your thought process of voting me at final 5 and going to final 4 with another pair?
For me it was more of a better worst case scenario JK. Worst case scenario being me not winning immunity and whoever would be in the Final 4 with me, Chelsea and (what I hoped would be) Ciera ending up being the one who wins immunity. My thought was that even if Brett wins FIC, I can tie the vote with Ciera, potentially make it to FTC and have a shot at a win. But if you had made it to F4 AND won immunity, I felt my chances of a win sitting next to you would be significantly lesser.
SORRY HOSTS but do you think I would have won against you, Fran, and why or why not?
Between you and me it would have been a far more closely contested FTC. You were socially better than Brett, had a better and cleaner strategy. Just going on how I imagine the votes could potentially fall, I think there is very good chance that I would lose to you. Your ability to sway votes is superior that Brett's, your story is a better one, and you are more likable.
Since I am not allowed to explain why I picked this song, I will just post the lyrics and hope we think alike lol.
If you Believe
that We've got a picture perfect plan
we've got you fooled
Cause' We only do the best we can
and sometimes we make it
sometimes we fake it
and we get one step closer each and every day
We can figure it out our own way
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And I’ve got nothing to say I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
