Board Thread:Survivor 22: San Marcos/@comment-24207263-20170208162752

Hello everyone, first off I'd like to say congratulations to the finalists doing what we were unable to do and make the FTC (Which btw, think it's awesome that the final 3 is Catarina, even if I'm not there lmfao) Anyway, let's get straight into this, firstly I'm gonna start out with Nathaniel.

Nathaniel, I'm going to be honest, while reading your speech, I saw a lot of you still being unaware of a lot of things going on in the game around you, and I think that awareness is a very important aspect of this game, and your speech makes me think that you weren't very aware of everything going on around you in this game at certain points. The first thing I noticed, and probably the least important, is that you said your name probably came up on Catarina and your social bonds kept you safe which I definitely don't agree with, you should know Brian was the target because of all the previous connections he had on other tribes, and Hannah was targeted because she threw herself under the bus for Brian, social bonds had nothing to do with you staying, not a very important point, but a point nonetheless. Next thing I noticed is you talking about the chat called "The Truth" which I've now been informed of while in ponderosa, and I've also been told most things in that chat weren't actually the truth, which from your speech makes me believe that you still believe those lies, then once I came to you and confessed I'd been targeted you tried to make it look like you hadn't known and it was 100% transparent, if you're going to lie and act clueless, don't make it obvious, in my opinion not being able to lie is a sign of a weak game in survivor, then lastly when you confronted me with the questions I told you the complete truth, and I still don't think you believe me on that either. Lastly, you think my boot was a blindside, which is extremely false, I had literally the entire day to prepare for my boot knowing that I was probably going early on in the day, at the end of the day close to the deadline my phone was on 3% and Jenna was thinking of possibly tying the vote on you but Sim didn't trust her and told us that we should trust you more, at that point I didn't trust you at all and I only went along with what Sim said because my phone was dead and I wanted a 5% chance rather than a 0% if I would've gotten a self vote, so my vote-off was not a blindside. Overall Nathaniel, I don't think you were very self aware during this game. Buuut I'm not quite over yet, another huge issue I have with you is you're quite a bitter player, the fact you OPENLY and SHAMELESSLY admit that you are still bitter over a Canada blindside that happened 20 months ago, almost two YEARS? If you are this bitter, why should we as the jury not vote the same way as you've conveyed you feel in other orgs, because I'm sure that you would've been bitter sitting here on the jury if you were to have been voted out. Granted, I'm not bitter at all over my boot, I had an amazing time in this game and I'm happy about everything, but I'm genuinely curious as to why if you're this bitter, why we shouldn't vote bitterly towards you? Also, Shea said multiple times you were more of his goat than he was yours, how do you respond to that ?

Now onto Sim. Sim, in this game I had a ton of fun getting to know you and becoming good friends with you, I'm not gonna lie you're really gonna have to fight for this if you want it, as of right now, my vote is probably between you and Nick. A lot of people have said that you haven't done much to anything at all, and I don't want to believe them, and I want you to prove them wrong, so my task for you is to explain to the jury why you are a contender to win, what things you did that set you apart from the other two, I really don't want you to be counted out of this because I know this means a lot to you, so fight for this and tell everyone why you deserve to win.

So that leaves me with Nick, Nick, coming into this season I was worried when I saw you on the cast, because as you know as well as most people, we don't necessarily have the best track record working together in orgs, but in San Marcos I wanted to put that all behind us, and I honestly think that's one of the best decisions I made in this game, I not only found a great ally in this game, but also a great friend that I hope to stay in touch with even after this game, for us to go from being like mortal enemies to basically being a really tight duo throughout the entirety of San Marcos, I'm really glad we decided to put everything behind us in this org because it made the experience 10x better. From speeches alone, I'm leaning towards you, but there are still people that need persuading and I want you to make those people want to vote for you, I personally think you played a great game, so detail 3 of the biggest moves you made in this game, and tell why your game was better than Sim and Nathaniel's.

Sorry if any parts of this were too long, but good luck to the 3 of you and congratulations again! Whether people are mad that you are the final 3 or think you don't deserve to win that doesn't change that you all are here and we aren't, so good job to all of you guys.
