Sup dudes. Congrats on making it to FTC! Going into this, I wanted to keep an open mind and I will say that I am still undecided. I don't really have any questions for you three, I'm just going to common onto/criticize your games. If there is something you feel is incorrect, feel free to respond!

I want to start this off by saying that I really like all of you as people. Any criticism that I may make is only related to this game! I feel like all three of you had a similar philosophy when it came to strategy, which was to hide behind the power players. From my point of view, none of you really did anything strategically to put yourself ahead of the other two.

Joey: I wanted to root for you going into this but your speech was easily my least favorite. Starting your speech with an excuse that you work 40 hours a week is honestly laughable. Everyone is busy. Everyone has shit to do lol. In this cast we had people who worked like 3 different jobs, went to university and worked at the same time, I myself work 60 hours a week. Not a fan of the excuses. Secondly, you did not convince me to vote Jake that round lol. I had planned to target him at 6 for awhile anyways, and when you wanted him gone too it just worked out. Saying you had 100% control that round is just factually incorrect. In my eyes, your game was very transparent. It was obvious to everyone that you and Jared were a duo. It was just really obvious what you were doing each round. You basically backed out of social interaction with me in the merge phase until Jared was voted out. The biggest flaw in your game is the decision to vote Christine at final 4. Letting Torsa get to FTC would have guaranteed a loss for you. Even if you were sure that Christine would win the tiebreaker, even giving Torsa that chance is probably the worst game move all season. All in all you played a decent UTR game, I can't hate on it too much because you made the FTC!

Asa: I don't really know what to say because I don't really know you at all lol. We didn't talk once all merge phase. I always say that relationships are 50/50, so I went and checked out our messenger history. We had 3 short convos all season lol, and I initiated every single one of them. It's really hard for me to vote for someone who literally couldn't have cared less that I was there. People in ponderosa are saying you had a decent social game, but those people are people that you were friends with (or at least knew) prior to the season. I know you said you struggle with approaching people, but this isn't your first org, and you didn't even try. You game does have some highlights like only having 1 vote against (due to the Reset Plan) and some challenge wins, so I give you props. You also had the correct opinion to vote out Torsa at final 4 so lmao. All in all you played a decent UTR game, I can't that on it too much because you made the FTC!

Christine: I wanted to get my speech up quickly so I could tell you this before you answer everyone else' posts. You have an uphill battle here, but you CAN come out victorious. You have to fight for it. It seems to me that people don't like your game for whatever reason, so make them like it. I thought your speech was the best of the three. You didn't make excuses for a poor social game. You were the only person who knew who was going home every tribal. With that said, your overall social game was pretty lackluster. I'm not 100% sold on you as a winner, but if you FIGHT for this win, you will get my vote. All in all you played a decent UTR game, I can't hate on it too much because you made the FTC!

Good luck to all three, I had a blast playing with you all.
