Hey you two <3 I love you both and I'm so glad the two of you are sitting here in the finals. You both worked so hard and have taken such different approaches to getting there, so I"m very excited to see what the two of you have to say.
I just want to let both of you know that my vote is pretty much up in the air right now. Coming in, I felt like I was leaning one way - and now I feel like I'm leaning the other, so I just want to air out my thought process and the two of you can feel free to comment on anything I say! I will also ask you both a couple of questions at the end.
~*Katie*~
I adore you! You're an amazing person, and definitely one of the most genuine people I've met in these games. At the beginning of the game, I wasn't exactly a huge fan of you, but you definitely turned me as we wound up working together. Two of the biggest nights for me between us were: 1) when we were both up late working on a challenge, and the rest of our tribe fell asleep (I think it was when we tribe swapped, and were no longer with Dave/Jenn) and 2) the night Sierra bashed me pretty bad and you were there for me above anyone else. That meant a lot to me, and you helped me more than you could know in this game and beyond the game. Thank you for that, and I want to prove to you how much that meant to me, but I don't want to hand you a vote you may not deserve. (I'm not saying you don't deserve it, or that Kim deserves it more than you- I'm just being cautious!)
You have to convince me that you deserve to win the game over Kim. I feel you probably deserve my personal vote, but do you deserve the vote of all of the jurors? What did you do that makes your gameplay stand out from Kim's? The biggest thing I can see is that you found the two hidden immunity idols and guaranteed yourself a spot in the finals from like, the final 7 haha. Good for you, that takes skills! I warned Kim before she took you to the end that she'll have some pretty stiff competition. Prove me right! ;] Finally, who would you have taken to the final 2 had you won? I assume Kim, but I just thought I'd ask. Also, why would you have made that decision? Weigh the pros and cons.
~*Kim*~
You're amazing! I think you're an amazing person and a great strategist, and you played this game balls to the wall hard. I have a lot of respect for you, and I will be honest- I had my mind pretty set on voting for you when I entered the Jury house, because I felt you played the game better, but I got to thinking about how much Katie supported me in my time of need, and I felt guilty. I'm not saying I'm set on voting for her or anything- in fact, I'm pretty up in the air right now. I just don't want to lock in my thoughts now, and I want to give you both a fair shot at earning my vote!
I got the impression you were always a leader in the game, and you were someone who was never afraid to shy away from the strategic limelight. While Katie was always in the limelight for drama, you seemed to be spearheading decisions, do you think this is accurate? What did you do that Katie didn't? I know she found the two idols to guarantee herself a spot here, but what did you do? And how did you do it better than Katie? Finally, if you hadn't promised Katie that you would have taken her to the final 2, would you have reconsidered your decision? What were the pros and cons of taking me vs. taking Katie? Explain your thought process.
~*Both of you*~
I love you both so much and I'm so happy to see you both sitting there. So often you have a final 2 situation where you're town because you dislike both members equally, but this time I'm torn because I love you both equally! Ahhh, this is so tough for me! The questions I have for both of you are meant to be a little bit easier, and try to enjoy them.
1. What was your favorite moment from the game, and why?
2. Would you have been loyal to the F5 (F4 since Erinn left) alliance if Shane didn't want to opt out at 4?
3. What were the strengths and weaknesses of each of your games? (Do yourselves AND your opponent)
4. What's your favorite Ke$ha song? :}
5. Do you like Krewella? =]]]
Heheheh okay, good luck you guys. Feel free to reply to anything I wrote, even if I addressed it to your opponent friend. (The term "opponent" doesn't fit you two. <3) Love you both! <33333

David <3 you are amazing, and I am SO glad we were able to reconnect through this game, especially after our awful experience in GvE. It makes me happy that we are friends again and that we can just talk about random shit. I hope once the game is over you continue texting/snapchatting me so that we can keep in touch.
I have explained in detail in a lot of the questions why I deserve to win over Kim and why I played better and my game play stands out. Do you want me to type it up again? You know I'm lazy AND it's 11:49 AM [my roommates woke me up, fml] but I will type it up again if you want me to. Just let me know.
I would have 100% taken Kim to the end. My reasoning was VERY simple, you had Shane's vote guatanteed. Seeing how I expected to be hated by the whole jury, that was one less vote I could try and fight for. However, had it been a Final Three I was considering voting out Kim at four [sorry Kim!] so that there will be no members in the finals with a guaranteed vote.
1. What was your favorite moment from the game, and why?
~ This is going to be SUPER petty, but there was this fight I had with Saint Peih-Gee where I absolutely OWNED her which made me really happy. I also loved finding the two idols, AND posting on my "burn journal" where I had some really funny witty remarks where I made fun of people [though eventually, as I started taking the game more seriously it sadly transformed from witty retorts to flat out bitching and whining]. I can post a few examples, if you want.

Katie Hanson 9:24 pm
english...
SExY LExII 9:24 pm
Yea sure. whatever
Katie Hanson 9:25 pm

SExY LExII 9:25 pm
You dont have to. English is my only language. You cunt.
Katie Hanson 9:25 pm
then you would know what a martyr is. Unless you are very uneducated
SExY LExII 9:26 pm
I am more educated then you .
SExY LExII 9:26 pm
and you need to stop being racist.
Katie Hanson 9:26 pm
eh... then you would know it's "than" not then. I'm definitely not being racist. Just pointing out flaws in what you are saying.
SExY LExII 9:27 pm
you are racist. please stop katie. I am only trying to be your friend. just stop bullying me.
Katie Hanson 9:27 pm
and that's what a martyr is, I'll stop talking to you tho, since you are oversenstive.
2. Would you have been loyal to the F5 (F4 since Erinn left) alliance if Shane didn't want to opt out at 4?
~ Absolutely. That was the plan all along. I might be a douche, but I am loyal to a fault. I would rather have someone I am aligned with beat me than destroy my alliance and have someone else win after such domination.
3. What were the strengths and weaknesses of each of your games? (Do yourselves AND your opponent)
~ Katie:
-- Strengths: Witty. Straight-forward. Loyal. Funny [obviously!]. Strategic. Able to hide what a mental threat she was behind a character. Take-no-prisioners attitude. Not affraid of confronation.
-- Weaknesses: Not as active during end-game. Not affraid of confrontation [double edge sword, anyone?]
~ Kim:
-- Strengths: Social game. Challenge strength. Smart and intuitive. Dislikes confronation.
-- Weaknesses: Hard to get in contact with. Shady? Bad jury management, apparently. Dislikes confronation.
4. What's your favorite Ke$ha song? :}
~Ke$ha is like my favorite artist in the universe besides Macklemore. Choosing one song sounds painful. However, if I have to, I think right now it's Dirty Love, it used to be Crazy Kids but now it's too mainstream haha
5. Do you like Krewella? =]]]
~ Never heard of them/her.
Oh no you don't need to post more, I assume the bulk is in your opening? (Which I think I've read). If there's anything else you wanna highlight you could just copy/paste, no need to re-write lol.
And lol I can't wait to read your Burn Journal after the game is over, I want it to be a surprise hehehe
I'm so glad we reunited after GvE as well. <3 New sides to people <33333 (Even though we got along great back in the day too I think!)
You're amazing! I think you're an amazing person and a great strategist, and you played this game balls to the wall hard. I have a lot of respect for you, and I will be honest- I had my mind pretty set on voting for you when I entered the Jury house, because I felt you played the game better, but I got to thinking about how much Katie supported me in my time of need, and I felt guilty. I'm not saying I'm set on voting for her or anything- in fact, I'm pretty up in the air right now. I just don't want to lock in my thoughts now, and I want to give you both a fair shot at earning my vote!
David! You're amazing too! I really enjoyed getting to know you this game, and I hope we can get to know each other more after the game.
No worries about being up in the air, I can definitely see that you would want to vote for someone who made a really deep personal connection with you.
Okay, I'm gonna say ahead of time that it is really late at night and I got hit in the head at work today, so some stuff might not be clear, but I'll try my best!
Quote
I got the impression you were always a leader in the game, and you were someone who was never afraid to shy away from the strategic limelight. While Katie was always in the limelight for drama, you seemed to be spearheading decisions, do you think this is accurate?
I think its pretty accurate. I know its been said that I wasnt around much, but I spent a LOT of time on late at night when most people werent around, and thats when I bonded with you and Erinn and Shane, and I spent alot of time talking to both you and Erinn individually and coming up with plans and strategies to go forward, and from there it would get passed to Shane and Katie. So in that sense yeah you could say I spearheaded stuff, because even though I wasn't directly pushing the entire group, I was pushing the people who could push the entire group, if that makes sense.
Quote
What did you do that Katie didn't? And how did you do it better than Katie?
I've said alot of this stuff to other jurors so I'll kinda give the Sparknotes so you don't have to go look it all up again.
I made a lot of connections that helped our alliance succeed, whether that was by getting Sierra onboard in the premerge, or cementing things with Aras so he'd stick with us. Katie said she did those things too, but Im gonna hesitantly say I did it better, at least in Sierra's case, because Sierra voted for Katie at least twice and never voted me. I don't think I did everything, obviously other people did stuff too, but I think that there were times like the final seven and the triathlon where things I did or connections I made were critical to getting our alliance to the end. There were so many times in this game where if just one detail had gone wrong, everything would have been screwed up, and I made it my job to spot those details ahead of time and take care of them, like when I coordinated with you, Shane, and Erinn to make sure we got the triple vote at the auction, if we hadn't done that, we would have been in serious trouble. I also came up with a lot of strategies, and pushed things to go in the ways that would benefit us the most. I took a lot of risks with things I did, if I wanted to see a plan happen, I went out and did my best to make it happen, and I never sat back or let anybody else make moves on my behalf.
Another thing I did that Katie didn't was I refused to consider changing my allegiance to her at the end. I would have stuck with Katie no matter what, because that was the promise I made, and I never considered voting differently even though I knew there was a very real chance that I would give up the million if I took her to the end. Obviously she didn't feel the same way, and she was thinking about voting me out at the final four. I had already talked to Shane, and he told me that you two were going to vote Katie, and that if it was a final two he would step down and let you and me be the final two. So if I had changed my vote then, it would have been guaranteed final two, and I would have probably had a much easier time. But I never considered doing it.

I know she found the two idols to guarantee herself a spot here, but what did you do?
I won four necklaces to guarantee myself a spot here, and I talked my way out of getting my name written down for all the rounds where I didn't have one. :p
Quote
Finally, if you hadn't promised Katie that you would have taken her to the final 2, would you have reconsidered your decision? What were the pros and cons of taking me vs. taking Katie? Explain your thought process.
If I was thinking about it strategically, then I would probably have taken you. Katie was on a tribe with a lot of the jurors that I hadnt talked to, and you had taken a lot of heat for pre-gaming with Shane, so I think it would have been a bit smarter to take you, just because you would have been a bit more on the defensive side and had to fight harder to make your case, whereas the jurors aren't really coming at Katie the same way. So the pros to taking you would have been that you would have been coming at it defensively and you had betrayed a few jurors, but the cons would have been that you're awesome and very smart, and would have done a fantastic job in the finals.

1. What was your favorite moment from the game, and why?
When I got the triple vote at the auction. That was a make or break moment in the game, and it came down to a split second, so to actually pull that off was just such a huge relief and it was pretty much the defining moment where we knew that we could take our five all the way.
Quote
2. Would you have been loyal to the F5 (F4 since Erinn left) alliance if Shane didn't want to opt out at 4?
Of course! I was with Erinn, and the F5 was a perfect way for us to increase our numbers and get to the end. There wasn't really a good reason to do anything else.
Quote
3. What were the strengths and weaknesses of each of your games? (Do yourselves AND your opponent)
I'm gonna warn ahead of time that I am incredibly tired and this list might not make sense, so if so I apologize to you and Katie.
Katie's Strengths - Self-confident, not afraid to back down, honest, real, good at making deep connections with people.
Katie's Weaknesses - Self-centered, Stubborn, Unnecessarily mean, weak end game.
Kim's Strengths - Social skills, challenge skills, good strategizer, good UTRness.
Kim's Weaknesses - Didn't talk to certain people, played too much in character, overanalyzed things.
Quote
4. What's your favorite Ke$ha song? :}
Gotta go with "Die Young." I can't count how many times I listened to it during allnighters in university. It's got an awesome beat and I really love the lyrics. I also have a fondness for Tik Tok but it's kind of the stereotypical Ke$ha song so that would be kind of a cop out.
Quote
5. Do you like Krewella? =]]]
Sadly I have never listened to them, but I will check them out tomorrow and get back to ya!
Thanks for all the questions, David! You're an awesome guy and a great player, and Shane's lucky to have a guy like you around. I had a lot of fun hanging out with you. <3
I was naomi in gvse 5. LoL we never really talked cause I was the first axed.
I still don't get how that happened, or how that weasel Mark got himself out of EVERYONE's crosshairs... why do you think I was the only one who came to you afterward to express my confusion?
