Hey yaaaaa, hey yaaaa. (Outkast) (or Obediah Parker, I recommend both) Congrats to you Final 3, despite what any perceptions of what people think you are, you did something amazing and that was make it to the end of not only an amazing game but one of my favorite most competitive games that I’ve ever had the honor of playing.

Hosts, you did an amazing jobs, images, buffs, challenges, the works; you made this feel like such an important game and honestly I felt so honored to be apart of the very first season, despite getting 8th place, I can hold my head high and say this was DEFINITELY one of my all time favorite games and I know that if I was in the final 3 I would say this was the best game I’ve ever played. And I’m anxious to see who will be the OG winner of 39 days in MONGOLIA!!!

So, so, so I want to start off with- that despite what you may think and what you may read is that not only mine but I believe that ALL of you have the opportunity to sway the jury in more ways than others based on your answers at this Final Tribal Council and ultimately win!

I wanted to chime in late because I’m on a Disney Cruise in Norway and the time zones are all fucked up and I bought like $90 bucks worth of data for this reason and IF I was in the FTC I would’ve been cashing out all the rubber band banks in my pocket as fast as I can to claim this title.

So let’s begin; Its fucking 12:30 and by the time I post it God knows when, I’ve been having a great time dancing the night away. There’s so many hot girls and soooo many got blondes, Denmark/Norway is loaded with them’ (None beat Hali Ford though) Sooooo (Or Misty)

Brett/Chelsea/Fran, you guys did amazing and played such different and unique games cause you guys were really very spread out. Reading what you’ve written so far is nice to hear and also discouraging at times. I’ll do this alphabetically as both a joke and to make this as fair as possible;

Brett!!!! My man, your SECOND game, but I don’t wanna call you out on that too much - Twisted doesn’t count and I’ll cut you slack for that. This is the most honest I’ll be cause I’m a little tipsy. (You can call me Ciera tonight) I want to commend you. On a personal level I was rooting for you big time and still am, I hope you hit it home with these questions. Dude I was looking for that “..” after I was voted out, which was a cue to let me know from the jury that Brett still had intentions of working with Jaruud and avenge me against Ciera/Fran! I was so happy to see that at F7, for those of you who do not know, the last thing I ever said to the Jaruud 4, (other than my ghostly presence of sunglasses) was that I told them to keep Brett tight, I KNEW he was the key to my own success but also theirs; sadly, they were IDIOTS! No offense Jaruud, ily more than any other tribe in Survivor or Survivor ORG History but F7 was your round just as much as F8. Brett, you were more than loyal to me, even if I was feeding you BS or not, (I wasn’t) I trusted you and you MADE me trust you.

I think you’re taking a little more credit about Chase’s vote; that was a partnership with Tyler but I honestly believe that you and Ty didn’t converse about swapping info and sharing it with me, I think you both came to me individually about Chase’s spontaneousness (looked long for the right word) and his rogue- qualities, that made me second guess his partnership. You and Ty both had a huge hand with changing my own mind about Chase but ultimately it was Matty and I that decided it was risky to align with someone that was clearly a loose cannon. However, if Chase DID stay, you would most definitely be out and for that reason, that round WAS your most pivotal round.

I’m going to be as honest as possible; I think you’re getting heat on in the jury. They say you have poor jury management or something and that you’re a little bit of a goat however, despite the FTC answers I think you navigated perfectly. You were OBVIOUSLY aligned with Chelsea and EVERYONE knew it. You guys were a pair RIGHT after Tyler left and it was a race to you and Chelsea.
What everyone forgets is that the option was you or Misty. You were more important to Jaruud and moving forward to so many people and if you were voted out, we could not tame Chelsea’s vote quite as much. I trusted you entirely from Ty’s vote forward. You were Jaruud’s success and I think people forget that you played the middle more than anyone, whether or not that was Chelsea’ plan too, for me. (I felt like the link to Jaruud + Blue) and it was because of you. You came in and gave me and Hali the right information about Misty and Matt (Ciera/Fran) at all the right times.

Brett, you weren’t anyone to notice in the game but when I sit back I see someone who was loyal, who was social, did his part in the challenges and ultimately had the perfect position to weasel his way to the top. I would definitely consider you a rat, I called you that when I was voted out but dude, You fucking rocked! You knew EXACTLY what to say to scare people, you knew EXACTLY what to say to make people feel comfortable and you would tell others one thing and tell others another. (Even had me thinking about voting out my #1 squeeze Hali)You sat on the line and waited to see how it would help you advance.

I want you to #1 stick your held high because I think whether it be your first (or second ;-) ) game, you tore it up. You didn’t need to win challenges because you weren’t too threatening but at the same time you were.

You were honest to your allies and seemed like a weasel to others; Why would you say they considered you a weasel if you so clearly had defined allies?

You were all in on voting out Ciera at F7, do you think it was a dumb move for Jaruud to target you or Chelsea? They could have easily voted her out and then went for you/Chelsea next round?

Do you regret taking Hali out over Fran at F6? Personally, everyone thought Hali lacked social skills and while everyone thought Fran was a gamebot it made more sense “threat wise” to take Fran out. She made it evident that she was playing a Mike-based-game WITH Ciera after I left and I think it was obvious to see Chonos all rallying to Fran’s cause at the end of the game. Whereas Hali would have done an AMAZING job but would’ve gotten much more heat for her game (Note shake it off by Taylor Swift at a TC)

Brett, I really hope you sell it and sell your social game. You were the all around characteristics of good winners, not too big of a threat but an obvious player, an obvious instigator and you were never calling out names but you were subconsciously putting names in our own heads without us realizing it based on what information you let out. I hope everyone doesn’t rush to vote and really considers voting you, please elaborate on what I’ve asked, and what you think it meant to your game play when taking out Misty/Matt. And did my demise ultimately result in your own success? (I believe it did but I consider us to be buds so I’d like your answer)

Chelsea!!!!!! You all ready said it, we BARELY talked but I did trust you for two reasons, scratch that two people BRETT and JK. They were my glue to you but I knew that Brett had my back and I knew JK had my back so in turn, I did trust you. Most of our convos were really hard, it was like we were trying to have fun but it wasn’t working and trust me I REALLY REALLY was trying but everything was a little bit of a lull in the convo, and I tried that so many times, was it HONESTLY because you knew that I didn’t have you in my end game or was it because you didn’t trust me or want to give me the time of day? I honestly do think it was a poor choice. I think we could have been friends but you were really hard to talk to and more people than Matt and I felt that way. Why?? Misty- to me (before she left) and JK/Brett were the only reasons why I think you stayed in this game at F10 and then at F8.

#2) Did you ever consider voting me out, when where and why would it benefit you? (These numbers aren’t accurate at all so please just read between the lines for the questions I’m asking.)

#3) The Jaruud 4 was COMPLETELY ready to vote you out at Final 8, I had my parchment ready. Blindside you, waste a potential idol should Ciera play it but ultimately we didn’t know if you would be voting for someone from Jaruud and lying to us. The final decision was to not be villains and vote Ciera with you and Brett, ultimately leading to my demise and despite me leaving, I’m proud to have gone out with an idol and go down as more of a hero than a villain (which looking at Chase/Ty/Misty/Matt [and Woo] I definitely felt like a hero) Did you have any knowledge of this at all? Because until F7, I think you were oblivious about Jaruud wanting you gone. Perhaps kudos to you on that? You were enough of a threat to target? But obviously if it weren’t for that decision, you’d be gone.

Did you enjoy your time in this game? It feels like you got bored towards the end.

FRANQUESQUA!!!!!!!: Challenge BEAST. When you look at every thread after this you’re going to think, wow, Fabio didn’t like me, but it’s because at the beginning it felt like you were getting handed the win, but that’s not the case. If we were on the show, I don’t think people would have been rooting for you even though of your immunity run. I think you would’ve been like Terry in panama and if you would’ve lost Danielle would’ve been like, “Grow up Terry!” However, 16 hours is amazing and it proves not how big of a threat you are cause anyone could go that long but it showed us how much you wanted this win.

I do not commend games based on immunity wins (Despite the last challenge, that was awesome) I find immunity winning games boring, Mike was an obvious hero for siding with Shirin towards the end, whereas when I saw things heading your way at the end of my vote, and I knew you didn’t like me personally but I was hurt, cause the time we did talk I enjoyed it and you came off as super super arrogant after I left. BRAGGING about how you felt alone and how this was the only way to win. I commend you a thousand times for your competition wins but you did NOT Survive in this game socially. Your proudest and only real achievement in this game other than your immunity wins should be when Brett/Chelsea decided to vote Hali over you, that was their mistake though and not yours. (along with my demise- but I completely blame myself/Jaruud/Ciera for my demise)

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.

Why was I SO insignificant as #7 on a strategic scale if I was such an important target to get out at that time? Cause I just think that was a dumb answer if that’s truly truly how you feel. Was it personal or was it strategic to get me out? I don’t know which you would define it as cause either way you seem to brush it over your shoulder when OBVIOUSLY that was the one shot of redemption you had.

You’ve been called a gamebot, I never talked game to you but I did talk GoT with you and I loved our talk. Do you believe you were a gamebot? Did you have fun? Everything seemed very calculated before posting at anytime, and I think that’s why you were seen as a gamebot.

Theres no way in shape or form that I think you would be here without idols and challenges. Your social game was super flawed, how would you have navigated without immunity? Would you have not been so “OOOOH YEAH!! BACK AGAINST THE WALL!!” Or would you have tried to fit in more?

However, I do believe that you were forced into that position and despite coming off as what I believd to be arrogant, you were able to rally jury members to your cause because of how out there you, whereas it felt personal towards me. I completely acknowledge and commend you for your out there and in it to win it, ALL IN OR NOTHING attitude, because whether or not I was rooting for you, it was so much fun to watch. I knew that at F4 it was you or JK but I desperately wanted to see your social game come out at the later stages opposed to immunity. I think if that were the case you would hands down get a unanimous sweep, but you can’t blame yourself in trying your hardest in every challenge. It takes incredible patience and a drive, especially with F4, and at F8, Hali and I must be kicking ourselves in the ass every damn night about counting just a few extra numbers ;-)

Despite all this negativity I seem to be sending your way, I do appreciate your performance and your FTC answers so far. I realize that you’re answering certain questions for certain people, it’s soooo late here and I’m tired and the booze are wearing off the more and more I go. I think you and I would really get along but I think we both knew we were at completely opposite ends of the spectrum and am terribly, terribly sorry if I seem aggressive to not just you but Hali/Brett or anyone. I played hard and so did you, and I’m passionate about crowning this winner.

I wanted to ask all 3 of you a question, a generic one but I can’t really think of a good one. I think you all played amazing games. Brett/Chelsea, you guys were a pair from the get go at merge and despite whether or not people consider you goats or not you did amazing cause the odds were forever in your favor and you ended up here together. I applaud you, we had soooo many times to take either of you out but we didn’t because you deflected it so perfectly. Fran, you were a challenge beast and made us look to other sources, your allies for vote offs.

OOOOH, real quick; Chelsea/Brett! Do you REGRET voting Matt over Fran? The ONLY reason Jaruud voted Matt that round was to gain the trust of you two, which the smarter move was clearly Fran, however, like Fran said, the reason she supposedly want me (like i said answers don’t make sense) was because she saw Hali as a bigger threat. Was keeping Fran in strategic or was it personal because Chelsea was sincerely offended because of Matt’s choices?

I honestly guess that other than these few questions and opinion on my long ass rant that my vote will depend on these answers but the answers of the other questions. You all did amazing, strategic, social, challenge, etc, whatever it is that got you here, you came to the top of a very competitive game and season and whoever wins will deserve the title as OG winner of 39 days.

I’d once again like to thank the hosts and players and invite everyone; I all ready feel so personally close with Misty and JK personally and am dying to get even more personal with everyone else, alias or not. Please message me, we’re the OG cast and I’ve had SUCH a blast with you all and can’t wait to continue this on the reunion. (Even if I miss out a little for VACA) have fun all! And good luck one last time Final 3.

The votes are in the air, and you decide where they fall, So take it home!
