Board Thread:Survivor 20: Heroes Vs. Villains/@comment-24603302-20161024220551

Right so I'm posting this now because there really is no need to wait to be "iconic" or whatever being the last juror to speak and I just wanna get this over with so here we go.

Unfortunately for those who were expecting me to "shade" or "drag" people, these finalists really don't need any of that, they all made it to the end in a returning player season, and none of them really got here by anything other than their own merit, so they should be proud.

That doesn't mean I don't have issues, really only one big issue that I'll get to, but first I just wanna start addressing two of you.

Bryce! Bryce I honestly was rooting for you and Jenn a lot, I feel like the two of you had your backs up against a wall for a long ass time and you both did what you needed to to continue to survive. I was 100% going to vote for you to win, but just based on your speech to me it lacked a bit of effort to be honest, so I can't say you have my vote anymore.

What I would like you to do, Bryce, is explain to everyone why your gameplay of being an underdog and having your back up against a wall is better than the other two, and tell us moves that you made to ensure your survival throughout the entirety of the merge, not pre-merge.

Dusk! Dusk at the moment you have my vote locked 100%, I feel like you played a great UTR game, it's extremely impressive your first vote against you came at the final 4, and I really was blown away by the effort you took to make your speech. You turned me into a supporter of you when I was not one prior to your speech, so good job on that!

My only issue with you in all honesty is I feel you were a bit fake in the way you talked to people and in your rites of passage, so what I would like you to do is drag the shit out of me, and only me. Drag me and rip my wig off several times, because I want to see a more genuine side of you and a fun side of you where you can do things like this. My vote for you will not be lost no matter how bad you drag me, I am asking for it after all!

Andddd last but not least is you, Sora.

Sora let me start off by saying if you think in any way I am "bitter" or "need to grow up" after this speech like I've been told quite a few times from your friends as they arrived to jury, then really I have no business in trying to mend any hurt feelings I have towards you.

There really is only one issue that I need to talk about with you, and it is the topic of the screenshots that were sent. I don't believe you at all in your speech when you said it was just an innocent mistake and that you weren't doing it for cheating purposes. You HAVE to be aware when you're involved in all of these conversations about getting me voted out that a screenshot sent to a hero can result in an idol play, I mean the two of us discussed the possibility of Miguel having the idol, so you were completely aware you were potentially sending me home just because of the screenshot alone, so I don't want to hear the bullshit that you had absolutely 0 clue it would send me home. Also, if your response to this is "well the screenshot didn't matter you would've left anyways" which I've ALSO heard multiple times coming into jury, that revote period did not happen, new conversations and ideas were not thought of and expressed, ANYTHING in Survivor is possible regardless of how much you think you have a plan set in place, so it is very possible things could've shifted to where I was not voted out, which makes the screenshot the direct cause of my boot due to the idol.

Next I would like to discuss really the main reasons I'm hurt by you that have nothing to do with the screenshot. Immediately when I was voted out, like before I was gone for good you came to me running "WHAT HAPPENED!?!?!?!?" "I HAD NO IDEA" "I NEVER WOULD DO THAT TO YOU", which I took at face value because you are my friend and I believe my friends when they say shit like this. Then Thomas comes to ponderosa and he starts spewing "don't trust sora he got you out", and I defended you on multiple occassions to him that you would never do that to me. For a good week and a half or so I was under the impression you were on my side and never would do something against me, as a friend.

Then Miguel is voted out. He comes into ponderosa saying "sora cheated he sent screenshots I have proof" and I STILL defended you and placed the blame on Alissa. I said you would never cheat, that is never something you would do, and while both Thomas and Miguel are shitting on you I continue to have your back.

Finally we get the screenshot, and it's a good day or two after Miguel sends us the screenshot that I continue to hate on Alissa for cheating and how dare she cheat to get me out, and I finally have had enough of hearing these two trying to shit on you and I decide I'm going to prove you innocent.

I do some detective work on the screenshot, I look at the phone provider on the screenshot, I look at the time on the screenshot, and I come to the realization that after like two weeks of defending you, you had lied to my face.

Do you know how much that hurts? Do you even understand what it's like to simultaneously be the one to expose a really good friend of yours and come to the realization that I'm a fucking idiot for defending you all this time? Because I'll tell ya, it stings a hell of a lot. Then as Szy and Alissa come into the chat it's not just the screenshot that's exposed, it's the fact that you knew the entire time I was being voted out and you did absolutely nothing to even try to help me in my first returnee season, knowing that you had two idols in your pocket that you could've handed off to me. In Bang-a-rang I worked for a good three fucking hours on Dan to flip to save you so you wouldn't go home, I threw a challenge pre-merge for you so you wouldn't go home, I tried countless times to convince you that I had your back and Rob was lying to your face and didn't have yours, I did EVERYTHING I possibly could to help get you to a win knowing I had no chance of winning myself, and you couldn't even do the easiest thing in the world and just hand me an idol, which takes little to no effort. And I don't even want to hear the excuse "I saved you as well from rocks", because you debating for hours and hours if you want to save your friend or just vote him out so you can avoid rocks really doesn't compare to the amount of work I put in for you.

I am very hurt by literally everything you did to me, because as a friend and knowing how much this meant to me being my first ever returnee season, you literally chose between me and your other close friends and didn't care to look back. It sucks realizing that you chose between friendships, and it sucks knowing the friendship I thought I had with you clearly was not the same back if you had no problem remaining loyal to Szy and Alissa the entire time but didn't give two shits about me.

I do not want an apology from you, I feel like I've heard and talked about this enough, and again, if you even try responding to this "You're bitter get over it, it's a game", or if ANYONE in the jury or VL try to respond to this or think I'm overreacting, real shit happened, real feelings were hurt, it's more than just a game when all of this other shit factors into it.

To finish this all out, I would like to say ponderosa is definitely divided. There are some of us who are not in support of you, Sora, because of the screenshotting, and there are some of us who are.

Sora, you will not be getting my vote, I cannot continue to just lay down and go based off of "the best game" when shit has an impact on me like this, I need to stand my ground and I will be standing my ground.

If you win, Sora, I will congratulate you on being the first two time winner on 703, I will congratulate you on a good game played, because you did in my opinion play a great game and you should be proud, but just know the way you got there and the things you did do have an effect on people, specifically on me, and I am hurt by them.

To the viewers I hope you enjoyed watching this season, everyone did a fantastic job and there was some great gameplay from beginning to end.

To the hosts, thank you for putting together a fantastic game that I enjoyed a LOT, you really deserve a big thank you for making this as fun as you've made it and dealt with isses as professionally as you have.

To the rest of the jury, vote who you want to vote for, there should be no ill will towards anyone for feeling a certain way that they do as everyone is entitled to their own opinion on how things went down.

And finally, to the finalists, congratulations, you beat 19 other all-stars and regardless of the outcome, you all should be very proud of yourselves.
