You would think after the revelation that he came off as cocky and fake, he would realize that he needs to take a more muted role if he wants to campaign for his friend to win.

Brice, while I have been reflecting on what you and Lue have been saying to the rest of us here in Ponderosa, the way I see it (and I feel like a lot of us here do) is that Monica represents "one of us." I avoided bringing this up because I don't want to seem like a whiny bitch, but when we did the schoolyard pick em for the second swap, I was originally going to pick Lue. He AIM'd me saying "hey, please don't pick me! I really wanna be on a tribe with Brice and Mookie." This hurt because I felt like I had a bond with you guys, but I was instead actively excluded, and I feel like that's how a lot of us here feel. The four of you stuck together and rode out your alliance for 42 days and were not willing to let anyone in. I mean, I don't blame you. If you've got a sure fire way to the end, why mess it up? Why I was eliminated first at the merge still baffles me, but I knew what was going on, but I couldn't do anything about it because Monica was my only real ally. She was the only one to let me know I was getting voted out that night. When you are all alone, and feel like everyone is out to get you, that last bit of decency really spoke to me. Sure she got votes out and had to rely on challenge wins, but that was the only way she was making it. She entertained us all highly by causing ripples in the plans of the top dogs, and that's why I am pulling for her ao hard (and the others are too). I'm on mobile so it's hard to accuratrly explain everything I feel, but sure, while you four did have good gameplay to dominate like you guys did, your only real social game was with each other. Monica was the only one who I felt was genuine with me, so that's why I'll most likely be voting for her. The beauty of Survivor is that there is no "correct" way to win. I feel like Monica played my definition of a "correct" game. It's not that I'm rooting against you guys, it's that I'm rooting for her. Sorry if this comes off as overdramatic and silly, I just wanted to explain how I feel, and how I expect some of my fellow jurors to be feeling.

oh my god i love her. this is so endearing, direct, authentic, and, most of all, true. everything she said is spot on. (i still can't believe Lue actually did that?). instead of foaming at the mouth like Brice, Sherri is speaking from a place of honesty. i hope other people hear her out. it's all 100%.

((((I can't like it, can I? that'd be tipping too much of a hand.)))

Even though I am more or less anti Monica for winning, Sherri's post was spot on. Kind of has to do with the whole Russell Hantz thing. People don't want people they don't like to win

sherri basically summed up this entire season. like are we done now? case closed.

Brice @ 3/11/2015 15:33

Sooooo I may be on jury but I'm still playing this game. I'm trying as hard as I can to make sure Monica doesn't win and I'll form a voting bloc if I have to.

Ugh I don't think he's going to realize this is only going to hurt Rodney

It's so much more than a Russell Hantz thing, I feel.

Like Brice goes on and on about all the connections he made, and Rodney goes on and on about how everyone trusted him. These are all exalting a form of social strategy that they excelled at. The thing is, they acted as if the game ended at f6, when it was far from over. I know the feeling, like when I decided to congratulate Austin/I at the end of my season. You accomplished the plan so successfully you feel kind of bulletproof. It's an easy trap to fall into, but it alienates everyone not involved in the little circle jerk.

this is exactly what brice tried to do in endure and i think because it almost worked it's deluded him into thinking it might work here

i love brice and i've been supporting him throughout the game but lord he needs to sTOP

If Monica wins this is the speech they would edit as the last one right before the Jury gets up to vote.

Brice:Spencer Bledsoe
Sherri:Erik Cardona

I love it.

Brice

Being a nazi is a good thing in survivor, it's impressive to be able to dominate the game strategically as well as Rod/Mookie did.

*flashback*

I mean technically he's Jewish but that's just a fad

I was about to update my Brice explosion image to add a concentration camp in the background but I lost the file so lets all just pretend I did and chuckle anyway
