[Ep 17] FTC Thoughts

[Emily]

Lol there's no Ep 17 but whatevs.

Sharing my FTC thoughts here.

I think it's gonna be exciting. I don't really care if people are going to bitch at me, I stand behind what I did, I know my flaws, and I know that I had a major impact on this game and who's in this Final 3.

As much as I love Henry as a person and a player, I am getting a feeling that
1 - he thinks I'm as dumb as a bag of hammers for taking him to the Final 3
2 - he is offended by the fact that I didn't target him

He has all the numbers on challenge wins, finding idols, etcetera, but he didn't have that much of an influence on who stayed and who went each round. In addition, he played two idols when he didn't need to play them essentially wasting them (tho one turned out to be fake). So as much as it is admirable that he found them, playing them at the right time is a different thing obviously. I will mention that at some point.

I'll be happy if he wins, but a little bit of humbleness goes a long way.

Annie is so fucking honest and blunt and funny and amazing in her answers and I love that about her. I also genuinely think she played a terrific game that should be rewarded with a win.

I think Faith was kind of mild, I expected her to be more frustrated and upset even though she's hurt and not happy. If anything, I hope she won't be mad outside of the game since I really loved her sfm when we talked.

Can't wait to see what the rest has to say.

Annie:

Also, I wanna address this right quick: Emily said she "ultimately convinced Annie to vote you out." But my vote was already on you before I had even talked to her. Although I really wanted you in the end because of how dominant and deserving you were, I still wanted a chance to win. However, I wasn't aware of Emily and Henry being together, and I expected Emily to vote Henry out giving me his jury vote since I was the one who didn't vote against him. When Emily said she was voting you too, I decided it was for the best anyway. I <33 you though Cuntalicious.

<33333 haha I love this.

I already thought she deserved to win over Henry based on her game, but this FTC is definitely confirming that she played such a delicious great game. If Henry wins, it will be my fault that Annie didn't, but oh well. I wonder why Henry is so slow; I'm really curious how he will defend his strategic game and how he will argue that he played the best game.

I loved Wendy's statements and questions. I think she was kind of mild too, and I hope she will be flattered rather than pissed about her elim. Ingrid was very mild, and she's just nice and friendly. Not that it matters because she's voting Henry a 100% and won't listen to what we say. Taylor is the ultimate borewhore and was barely visible this whole game tho perhaps I missed something. I don't care about his attention span. Zoe had an ok question and I used it to mention Henry's idol wasting. I also didn't want to say something negative about Annie, sooooooo

we'llll see... I am enjoying this. There's not that much pressure since I still don't have much believe that I can win this. Just enjoying it as long as there are no personal attacks.........

[Emily]

Murphy's question was decent; I feel like I've never been asked why I deserve to win a game so many times, but it's fine. It's much better than jury comparisons and all that shit because I believe in my game and think I have a pretty decent argument why I should be the winner; though compared to Annie, I'm not so sure if I'd deserve it.

I kind of liked my answer to Chaddies question tbh lol, I don't think it completely sucks, and, I didn't feel like repeating why he should vote for me blabla... that would have been another repetition.

Oh and I kinda wanted to write a rite of passage here, sometime, but, haven't found the time to do that...

[michael]

Yeah I don't know why we didn't have any rights of passage

Miss that :/

[Emily]

Let me put it this way, if you were those girls would you have wanted someone who was kinda a threat all season in the end, even if they were socially unlikable? I think Annie/Emily blew it in that sense.

Ehh lol. If this is his only argument. He may be right that we are stupid for taking him over Ingrid since it is believed that he played a better game than Ingrid, but he should only win if he also played a better game than Annie and myself. And he can't argue that. I took him out of sheer loyalty and because I genuinely believe I played a better game than him. I had the power, made the moves, and didn't waste idols. The only thing the jury can blame us at this point is that we didn't take the easier beat.

[Emily]

I should argue that, taking the easier bid equals admitting to your own weakness. I believe enough in my own game to take the stronger, who is constantly arguing he played a better game than ingrid but hasn't given a single argument outside the challenge and idol one why he played an overall better game.

And then I will say that Henry was the force behind the Faith vote, and that Annie like no other picked up the pieces, aligned with Murphy, and turned the game upside down another time leaving Henry completely powerless for the rest of the game.

Yeah ill use thiss.

[Emily]

Hi Jury, I'm asking your attention for the final time this game I've elaborated on my own game in my answers, so I'll just use this closing statement to sketch the situation at hand.

Someone seems to think that Annie and I are as dumb as a bag of hammers for taking Henry over Ingrid, because Henry played a better game than Ingrid. The latter might be true, and it might have been smarter to take Ingrid. However, I believe in my own game and I believe that I played a better overall game than Henry. In my opinion, taking the easy beat is admitting to your own weaknesses, and I didn't think I played a weak game at all. Playing a better game than Ingrid is not what counts here, and Henry would only deserve this win if he actually played a better game than myself (and Annie). I have not seen any strong arguments for that yet.

I've maneuvered myself in a position of power, I called the shots, made the key moves, AND was a strong competitor in challenges. What moves did Henry make? He saved himself in week 2, he played two idols (of which one was fake) when he didn't need to play them and hence was kind of unaware of what was really going on, and he must have been the driving force behind the Final 8 vote when Faith was eliminated. But hey, then there was Annie. She immediately took her chance, made an alliance with Murphy, and turned the game upside down another time, leaving Henry completely powerless and at our mercy for the rest of the game. That's what Survivor is about; making the best of the cards that you're dealt with, continuously being one step ahead of everyone else, being in charge of who goes and who stays, and being in control of your own fate.

Should I lose because I refused to go back on my word? Should I lose because I refused to take the easier beat? Or should I win because I played the best overall game?

Thanks for your time, your questions, and your comments. Thanks again Justin for an amazing game. Good luck Annie and Henry!

Whoops. Forgot about rites of passage.

[Emily]

Were there rites last season? Ppl started them themselves no? I might still do them, it's better doing it in private anyway so fellow finalists cant throw u under the bus after you bash someone. Oh vey allstars whoops.

[Emily]

Oh nevermind it was called dedication. Ok here we go.
