Oh, I guess I'm the last one to post one of these! On my exit, I vowed that I would vote for the least deserving winner, and in some terrible cruel irony, whoever I vote for completely follows that.
It's a little bit sad because when I started to write this, I said to myself - Hey Chris, don't be bitter, just get better. But, we're in an unfortunate situation where you, Ika, have completely attacked most of the jury and shown that in reality, you had less of an idea what was going on in this game than I did, and Dan, you've entirely owned up to the fact that you've done nothing the entire game except an alliance with Rachelle, which everyone had. To say the least, in terms of games I've played, this is the most torn I've ever been on voting for someone, and not for good reasons.
I do personally feel bad for Kat and Shit, because frankly every truly active game player in the game went out 10th through 3rd. It made for great drama for 10 onwards, but now we're here, in the truly most outrageous finals I've seen.
So I guess I'll address you individually:
Dan, we've talked maybe twice in the game. And though my AIM activity was pretty much isolated to evenings, I can honestly say that it wasn't for lack of effort on my part. It got to the point that even in my elimination, when I made a house meeting - you were never even invited. More than anything, you were a piece of furniture in the house, rather than a player. Which frankly, is sad. I don't think you're a bad guy, actually from what I've seen you're a great guy, which makes me inclined to vote for you. I think that you owning up to the fact that you really didn't play and knowing that you really held no cards shows great awareness instead of you trying to own up to things you didn't do. My, I suppose, reluctance, to vote you stems from your lack of social game. I'm a keen advocate in social gameplay so my question to you honestly is simple: Despite this being an AIM game, you have to learn stuff about fellow players, so I just simply want you to list a personal fact you learned about each of the jurors that isn't their age, or location. For example, Sheila just recently bought a "Ford Cocus." Thank you!
Ika, I mean this in the NICEST way possible, and I'm very serious right now: you're blowing it. Going into this jury session, you won the game, but from a juror, I am telling you from the bottom of my heart that honestly, both your current cockiness, and your attacks on the jury is going to grant Dan the win. You know that no one wants someone hardly around to win, so since I'm the last one to talk, I'm going to try and get an answer out of you that will please the jury. Honestly coming into this jury session, all I was going to ask you was "Are you for real?" but considering your jury blow ups, I'll ask you real questions. A huge part of your game seemed to be just telling everyone what they wanted to hear at all times. In fact, at many points of this game you simply agreed with what myself, Ash, others were saying without even discussion. Even at the Sheila vote off YOU came to ME without prompt and said "Oh yeah, I'm voting to save Sheila!!! I'm so pumped!!" (Obviously that's paraphrased.) And then immediately didn't do that, not that I believed you. It really seemed that you had no sense that other players would talk and know that you did this to everyone, so my question on that matter is kind of, why did you simply just always say yes with no intent on following through on anything? How do you legitimize that gameplay? Second, a lot of the jury thinks your answers are delusional, especially in the sense that you're owning up to a lot of game moves that really had nothing to do with you, so I want to know besides Rachelle's boot, what move were you personally at the forefront of controlling, not Shilpa, Craig, Christine, or Rachelle, just simply you. Good luck.
To the rest of the jury, it was great playing with you guys. Thank you Kat and Shir for casting me. Despite the end game, this was a fun season.
