Board Thread:Survivor: Japan (Season 6)/@comment-24270686-20150315162305

Oh Lordy, you guys. You've upset the young kids!

Hopefully my speech won't be as... classically anal as some of the others. You guys made it here. Be proud. Own your games. I think all three of you are swell. On with my actual speech...



Hey Final Three!

I want to start off by saying that I am very happy to see all of you in the finale. If I couldn’t win, you’d be my top three picks :)

I’d like to think that I already have a fairly good grasp on the types of games that you played, at least since the merge, but I will definitely be taking into account everything that you say, in both my speech and everyone else’s. I want honesty and transparency people!

That said, I have read each of your speeches and have a few comments to make about each of them. I do not intend to knock any of you down, I simply want to see each of you present the best case for yourself that you can. You are all deserving winners in your own way.

I will start with Will.

Will

Will, I want to let you know that I really enjoyed getting to know you and chat with you this season. We never really delved into any deep and personal stuff, but I always felt like I could be very frank and open with you. I rarely feel like that with people in these games. It was a quality you gave off that made you seem sincere and even looking back I still feel like you were, for the most part, sincere with me. (As sincere as you can get in a game like Survivor).

The cheating thing was dealt with by the Hosts. At first I thought they should just DQ you from that one specific quiz challenge but it’s whatever. You survived anyway. So all g. I’m not really factoring it in because I don’t think of you as a cheater. People can break rules or do something wrong but they aren’t scum of the earth. I don’t believe you cheated in the other challenges. You are a beast at challenges plain and simple. You don’t need programs to help you out! :P But you need to address it further - I mean, when people hear the word ‘cheater' it’s like an immediate turn off. You need to turn them.. back on? haha, I mean you can’t just let it lie otherwise you may as well give up now. When I do some challenges I rely on and use things to help me. For example - Isoball 2 - there is no way I would have gotten that score without the help of youtube videos showing me how to do the puzzles so I could focus on speed. I literally always google “How to ‘Name of Challenge’” before I begin. Usually on those timed quizzes I screenshot all the answers and write them out so I can type them as quickly as possible - aiding yourself isn’t a bad thing - but there is a line and it can be crossed and you just needed to check with the hosts. That’s how I feel. It’s such a shame because I do think it could cost you and you need to work hard to make people see past it.

In your speech you mentioned that you only lied when idols were a factor - and as a close ally to you during the merge you did go on about idols quite a lot. Which is fair enough, they are game changers - but more than once you made me feel uncomfortable - like you might be changing up a plan for fear of an idol that might not even be there. In fact, nearly every merge tribal had idols as a factor since none were actually played until mine at the F7. So your statement that you lied when idols factored in, sort of suggests you lied a lot? In Survivor I think lying is something you almost always have to do at some point and it is a part of the game, but can you air out some of your lies? And explain to the more naive jurors why playing this game often requires you to lie, and if you happen to be lied to, why you shouldn’t take it personally etc etc. Covers the basics, I feel this would be to your benefit…

You also stated that you got people to agree to work with you by playing to their desires. You gave the example of Joan but can you give the others that you said you would provide if asked. Now is not the time to hold back!

Also I want to know - did anyone ever find the Shika idol? Did you have it? You guys had one clue, as did I with the Okami one, so i assumed it was found.

Anyway, I think that’s PLENTY for you. I’m looking forward to seeing how you handle the rest of this Tribal Council. Stay classy!

Speaking of classy…. Joan is next :P

(sorry Lucas heuehuehuehueh)

Joan

Joan you are the sneaky spider who hid in the darkest corner of the room spinning a giant web over us all while we were too busy charging around the room at each other to notice you.

I noticed you…

And I kept bringing you up. Multiple times. I said it to Wes, Lucas, Will, and maybe some others. “DO NOT IGNORE JOAN! Just because Joan can’t vote right now does not mean he can’t make shit happen." As a big fan of your game style I knew how much shit you can stir up - and reading your speech I was laughing at how much extra stuff was going on that I didn’t even know about. Reading your speech, I find myself nodding a lot. You may have let some things slip sure, and you own up to it, but you also made shit happen too. And none of your slips hurt your game (except you perception with the jury…). I loved our stupid Alpha Pack thing and you totally did deserve to get voted out pre merge cos you just weren’t helping us as a tribe. But you came back and you worked it out.

Anyway, your hurdle is almost as big as Wills. You have just one tribal to convince people that you truly were active, present, making shit happen, and I can see already that you are working on that. Just like I have no qualms with Will’s cheating, I also have no problem with your “activity levels”. I felt your presence in this game from start to finish. It was pleasure playing with you!

For you I have a challenge. You actually need to submit this. It’s like, prove it. Can you submit? PROVE IT!

I want you to roast 4 members of the jury. None of this haiku shit. Go all out. Pick whoever you want. You got a sassy streak and I know you have opinions so when you didn’t submit in the roast challenge I was not happy.

Make me happy!

Well, that’s everything. Good luck to you all! Thanks for reading my speech :)

JUST KIDDING LUCAS! <3

Lucas

You are so lucky to be in this final 3 with a guy struggling with the very recently attained title of Cheater, and someone who is perceived as MORE inactive than you were :P

You are such a troll, Lucas. You are SUCH a troll that you literally trolled me out of this game!!

I self voted because I fell asleep at 2am, waiting for you to reply to my message. The deadline to vote was roughly 4:30am my time. It took you 5-10 minutes to reply to each message I sent you during our conversation. I message you *5-10 mins later* you reply, i reply straight away *5-10 minutes later* you reply. You turned a 5 minute conversation in a 40 minute snooze fest!

You literally bored me to sleep and out of this game and it totally saved your ass! Your trollish ways inadvertently kept you in the game :P

But enough about my inability to send in a vote. Let’s talk about you.

You actually were a huge social force in this game. I came straight to you at the start of the merge and said “I have Martin. That’s it. Help!” and boy did you deliver. You set me up in a pretty cool 5 person alliance and gave me shelter during some of the craziest tribals ever. Without you I would never have spoken to Will (most likely) although I had made attempts to talk to Wes. You honestly helped me get as far as I did, and as frustrating as it was to go home to a self vote, I am happy to see my ‘sacrifice’ was not in vain.

One thing I really agreed with in your speech was that you were very flexible. I felt like I could suggest big moves to you without fear of it biting me in the ass. “Blindside Wes tonight, Lucas?” “Na, maybe next time though.” “OK sounds good”. And then we actually did it. It was cool to work with you regardless of you shit poor communication skills.

Anyway - I told the other two that they had something to prove to the jury. They have their work cut out for them. You don’t. You almost have to just rely on irrational and often stupid jury hate/bitterness to win this game. This game is yours to lose. As usual, you get the easiest path to take, just like your path to the finale. Too easy.

For you, I have a request as well. For my vote you need to pay me back. I voted myself out because of you and I want a bit of revenge! So in the spirit of light hearted fun (after all, that's what this should all be about, AMIRIGHT!?) I want you to post a video of yourself singing along to the Survivor Intro "Ancient Voices". You can pick any seasons version. Go all out. Let that sultry Polish accent wow us! Hardcore! Just go craaaayyyzeee! But don't F**k it up!

To conclude: you're all awesome. I loved this season. Thank you hosts! Tyler, Nuno, Gibson and even Purry! You guys are doing a phenomenal job with 703, but I know you already know that ;D

Final 3 just have fun and enjoy being where you are - you survived to day 39 and are all 703 royalty whether people like it or not!

Peace x x
