Ladies it’s time to get in formation & let’s get sickening!! (i wasn’t sure which intro to go with so i put them together sdfg) I want to start off by congratulating you three and It’s been so much fun playing with you three and it’s an honor to lose to y’all too :,). I literally adore and love all three of you so much but I’m not going to sit here to bore you with superficial words of encouragement so let’s just get right into it! If I come off as rude in this speech I’m sorry but that’s not my intention, I am going to just say what I feel abt your gameplays as a whole and...there’s going to be both some criticism and praise, but I rly don’t want u guys to think I don’t like any of y’all I’m just tryna gain some information on who to vote!

That being said, the jury is gonna be...really cruel to two of you. I don’t think I have to say who, since you’ll see but there are some people who are going to be harsh and I need you guys to prepare for this especially Eva. I know you can handle it but don’t be surprised.

So! Let’s do this!

This is a side-note i added in after reading ur speeches: before i get into it I wanna say I was pretty disappointed by all three of your opening statements like I’m bad @ speeches too but it really did not look like any of you tried. Either ur waiting until the jury speeches to go in-depth on your game or you literally just have...nothing to say. I hope it is the former but so far I’m really not impressed at all :(

Asa, you know I adore you with all of my heart. You’re literally an angel and it pains me to have to say anything negative about you but I promise it’s nothing too bad. I’m going to talk about your positives first, and then your negatives since I am a stan of formatting. At the final four during the rites of passage, I told you that you played a game that you didn’t give yourself credit for and I still feel that way now. You were in a power position literally all game and a key vote in many blindsides. I’m not going to lie, there were so many times where I thought a blindside would fall through because you’d feel bad and leak something but it never happened so I was honestly impressed! You proved that you could be cutthroat if you tried (@ u cutting Mr Blue who really liked you and was trying to keep you in the loop) and you didn’t have much of a social game but literally everyone adored you! This is your third time making day 39 on 703 and with your track record someone should’ve realized this was coming and done something about it so you have a lot to proud of! Another thing that I almost forgot, this season deadass everyone was an emotional wreck and I think you’re literally one of two, three people who stayed rational and didn’t let emotions influence your game and for that I give you a lot of props. As for the Negatives...your game did have some major flaws -- you were very antisocial, the move to New Zealand (despite us all being very happy for you) turned a lot of jurors off because they thought that it was insulting that you knew you weren’t going to be able to give this game your full attention, and finally many of the jurors think you were just plain inactive. Which, a lot of which, I do agree with. I love you, but I agree with the overall sentiment that your game was kinda on the weaker side. On the same token on a season where everyone was lowkey ugly to each other you stood out as someone who didn’t stoop down to that level so in that respect? Love a kind queen.

Christine, I might be a little more tough on you than the others, and I apologize in advance. I love you so much but you have more than enough stans on the jury that I’m sure you can handle a little criticism lol. I’ll begin with the positives though! Your social game is good, sis! Be proud of that! 88% of the jury adores you (yes i did some maths idk why) and yes I am included in that don’t think I’m counting myself out. You literally helped me out so much personally and made me feel better when I felt like human garbage(™) and I’m really appreciative towards that & you. You won to the end, which is great, you hella earned that FIC victory and I think that’s one of the most impressive things I’ve seen this season and you should be damn proud of that. You have literally no blood on your hands which is good. That’s good for you bc there’ll be no bitterness but that ties directly to the big negative with your game. In my opinion, a lot of the jury is blindly stanning you and that’s literally not your fault, like I said you have a good social game & no blood on your hands -- good job! My issue with your game is that from my perspective, your merge game was...really weak. You were on the right side of only three votes -- the first, the middle, and last respectively -- and as impressive as it was you survived, you didn’t survive because of your strategic or social game you survived because you weren’t rly a threat to anyone until the final five. Just in case you plan to do it, I will address the final 8 where we voted you, it wasn’t really a move against you it was more a move against the advantage u had. Now, if you had purposefully aligned with the people who kept on leaving one after the other knowing they were leaving and you were trying to get yourself an extra jury vote on the way out then that would be impressive & villainous and I lowkey would stan, but that’s not what happened. I might seem harsh and I’m sorry abt that, I adore you, but I’m trying to look at things objectively and I don’t think you’re as impressive as the rest of the jury thinks. Back to a positive if I may, although I bet you’ve over me by now, but with all that being said you never gave up sis. You were on the bottom for a lot of the merge and it’s great to see u here because u definitely have earned ur spot in the final three wig. Again I feel bad being harsh and i adore u so much but it is Time(™) to see what you’ve got! I want you to impress me--to convert me into one of ur Loyal Stans.

Eva, I feel like a broken record saying it but I adore you just like the others. Like Asa & Christine there were both positives and negatives that I’ll address with your game, but know that I love you, and personally? I’m so proud of you. You went through a lot of hardship in this game in your personal life and I give you a lot of credit for sticking it out till the end when most people wouldn’t have. I’m going to start with the positives though, just like I did for the others. I already mentioned how proud I am of you for sticking this out through everything you’ve gone through, and honestly after the Mr. Blue blindside your game improved so much. It’ll be mentioned in the negatives a little bit, but for most of the game I thought you were all bark and no bite, since you claimed during the Perry vote that you’d go off after results and then you never did, so I was a little disappointed when I first merged back up with you. But after the Mr. Blue blindside, the Eva I wanted to see came here. That take-no-bullshit attitude that I adore from you was finally here, and when you went up against Alissa in the tribe chat -- despite me being a litttttle put-off -- I was reminded of why I respected you a lot in the first place lmfao. You were an incredibly loyal player and was ready to go down the sinking ship with the rest of the Evasionaries and I respect that because unlike Christine, it’s not about you being out of the loop it’s about you picking a side and remaining loyal to that side. It’s time for the negatives tho lol I did say I’d try to be objective as possible. Since you can be abrasive, your social game was definitely...not the best. Your one-sided beef with Christine was definitely off-putting (and if you could explain your side of the story for that it’d be appreciated bc u lowkey just looked really petty & vindictive) and there were definitely moments where I thought you were all bark and no bite like I said earlier. Your tribal council answers again were kinda off-putting but reading your final tribal speech I do think it worked out for you which is why I’m brushing over it. It was off-putting, but that was the intent of it so fuck me up Eva-Maria!!!<3 Moving on, your opening speech was...a double-sided sword to me. It explained a lot of ur gameplay but threatening the jury was definitely...not the best way to go about this. It was the only speech I saw any effort go into so wig I mean I can’t say much else besides that.

When I left I told y’all to be proud of the games you played, so it may seem hypocritical of me to be so harsh but I still think you all played respectable games that you should all be proud of. Own your strengths, and likewise, own your weaknesses. I truly am immensely proud of all of you and if I could vote for all three of you I would, but I can’t! So I need to express my hesitations on voting each of you before I cast my vote to win. I think coming into FTC as a juror you should have an open mind and my mind is open and ready to see what y’all got! If you wanna address anything in my speech you have free reign. I have no questions, but I would really like each of you to address at least *something* that was said in my speech.  I literally do not care what part of it you address, just show some fight bc reading ur opening speeches it seemed like y'all didn't have any left.
