Hello, hello! Congratulations to all of you for making it to the final tribal council. It looks like I am the last juror up to the plate, so I hope you guys will enjoy my task, even though this has certainly been a tough finale so far. I have seen plenty of strategic answers already, and since there seems to be a negative atmosphere surrounding this finale and the jury's AIM chat, I want to lighten the mood, and have you guys express your fun, creative sides for us. It is Christmas after all, and we need a little cheer and celebration to end this game on a high note!

You are invited to...



JACLYN'S JOYOUS
CHRISTMAS GIFT EXCHANGE!

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and I'd like to invite everyone to a fabulous, festive, finale soiree! I personally find the social game to be the most important aspect of Survivor. You can win as many challenges as you need, play as many idols as you find, and pull any strategic moves you want to pull... but if you don't create positive bonds with your fellow contestants during your time in the game, you will not be able to win. This task is a challenge of your social prowess, and your responses will weigh heavily on my decision as to who I believe should win Survivor Decades: 1980s.



'Tis the season of giving! You will be buying Christmas presents for each of the jurors and your fellow finalists. Those eleven gifts are required. If you would like, you may also include any pre-jurors, hosts, or PWs in your answers. That drive and dedication to buy gifts for additional people will definitely show me, and the rest of the jury, your desire to win this competition.

Use your social connections with each juror and finalist to choose a Christmas gift that they would love, and that fits their personality and strategic/social persona the best. How well do you truly know these people that you have been with for almost two months? (Or you could look at it this way -- what gift would you give to bribe each person to give you their jury vote?)

In addition, I would like you to predict the gift that each juror/finalist would give TO YOU in this Christmas party. Relationships in Survivor are a two-way street after all. So, for each person you address in this task, you must (1) buy a gift for them, and (2) predict the gift that they would buy for you. Have fun with the answers!

GIFS AND PICTURES ARE RECOMMENDED TO ENHANCE YOUR ANSWERS!

It's been a hard fought battle, but it certainly isn't over yet. You've gotta earn it! From my point of view, we have a very close battle for my vote, and I am sure that some of my fellow jury members feel the same way.

And after all the work is done, be sure to relax with some hot cocoa and Christmas cookies. Good luck and have fun!

Love,
Jac
