Greetings, Zeke! You played a great game and were obviously a solid contender! Final Four is a heck of an accomplishment, and I hope you are proud of the season and for being such a critical part of it. We will be winding down in one week, and there's plenty to catch up on here in the Jury House. Thank you very much for playing, Zeke, and I hope you had a great time! ![]() I've added a FINAL WORDS topic to your Confessional, & once I have a chance, I will post your Final Words in tonight's Tribal Council for everyone to see. Be sure to check the "JURY HOUSE DETAILS" thread for more info about your time here. Also . . . . *EVERY JURY MEMBER NEEDS TO EARN THEIR SPOT TO KEEP THEIR JURY SEAT. PONDEROSA MEMBERS HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT IF A JUROR ISN'T ABLE TO STAY ON THE JURY........ I WILL BUMP ONE OF THEM INTO AN AVAILABLE SPOT.* *SO, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE OUT OF THE GAME ~ DON'T DISAPPEAR. WE WILL NEED ACTIVE JURORS TO COMPLETE THIS GAME.* *OBVIOUSLY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOG IN CONSTANTLY, BUT ALL JURORS NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE ~ AS YOU WILL EACH HAVE AN IMPORTANT VOTE AT THE END.* * * * EACH JUROR NEEDS TO LOG IN A MINIMUM OF AT LEAST THREE TIMES EACH WEEK AND PARTICIPATE AROUND HERE TO KEEP YOUR SPOT IN THE JURY. IF YOU NEED TO BE AWAY.......PLEASE INFORM ME BEFOREHAND AND WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT. BUT NO JURY SPOT IS GUARANTEED UNLESS EACH OF YOU REMAIN ACTIVE AND EASY TO REACH HERE IN THE JURY HOUSE. * * * NOW . . . . ~ A few questions for you to answer as you get settled in: 1) When did the game really kick into high gear for you? Was it after reshuffling? Or after the two-person swap? Right away at the merge, or further into the merge? 2) Looking back on it, were there any rounds or moments you would play differently? 3) Do you really have super powers, and is that how you rocked so many challenges? ![]() |

He'll be checking in tomorrow, just in case anyone's like waiting up for him. But at least he already has some Welcome posts to see here.

Hey everybody! Thanks for all the love. I know I had a hand in sending you guys here so I appreciate the warm welcome. It was a pleasure playing with everyone and I can already tell this is going to be an awesome jury crew! If I can’t be playing still then I am so glad to have a fun group here to hang with and watch the rest of the show! 1. I feel like I really had some good *luck* in this season. I connected at the very beginning of the game with Todd. Then we were on the same tribe, the WHOLE way! What are the chances? So that was huge for me, having someone who I think at those stages at least was sharing so much information, and so I think I really had a good handle on what was going on out here. I never felt worried before the merge. Things got real right away at the merge. Once Ozzy threw down the ultimatum of “flipping” over to the “girls” side, that’s once I was like, oh wow, here we go! I never felt in danger of being voted off necessarily until like final five probably, but the game play really elevated right off the bat of the merge with the ousting of Bubba. And from that vote on, I definitely felt less in control and more of just going with the flow. 2. Well I’m here now, so yes! It’s tricky to identify exactly when I should have switched things up. The easy thing to say is, I should have tried voting for Todd or Julie earlier. But I don’t know if there’s a spot that could have happened necessarily. They are both so good. My plan was to vote for them down here at four and then three. But that was not a good plan, since it didn’t happen, but also just because that left far too little margin for error. It should’ve been sooner, but I’m not sure how, since I did feel personally safe throughout. Possibly going back to the Cirie vote, or maybe at the double vote, things could have gone differently, and maybe that would have been wise to try and make a different move. Voting Rudy out too might have been a mistake, love you dude, although he and Diane were the ones doing it! But like at that vote, Todd and Julie both pushed it, and that’s when I should have seen that they likely paired up, and I somehow needed to flip the script. But like I said, they’re both so good, that I don’t know if I could have. I felt safe out here for so so long. BUT I don’t think I had more control in this game than they did. And at four I could have done it differently I’m sure. But how exactly? I’m not quite sure. I think it was Julie calling this shot, but I am not 100% clear on how that came to pass. 3. HA thank you! I was pleasantly surprised at the challenge wins. Looks like I will end up tied with Todd for the most out here! Which I am pretty proud of, since that dude is a damn speed demon! LOL but yes to answer your question, the one super power I do own, is that if I look at a computer screen, I instantly know how many times Jeff Probsts’ face appears on it. Down to the exact number. Strange but true. |

Sorry I couldn't send my love earlier Zeke, amazing game brother. I loved chatting with you and was pulling for you simply for the message you sent me after Bubba was voted out. Everyone else was like "eh who cares" but you took the time to actually msg me and apologize for the blindside against me..I respected that soooooo much because that's how I am as a player and a person. #Respect. I'm sorry to see you here cuz I was hoping you or Rudy could do it... This final 3 though is certainly interesting... Todd - the challenge beast who seems to have some strategy Diane - the "looks like a goat but could be doing more in the background i dont see".... i just dont like her "im just doing what i can to survive and hope its not me tonight"....not a fan of that. Julie - wow....this girl...is PLAYING THE GAME. She had everyone fooled at one time or another. I think she's the one to beat right now because the strategy she has shown and the fearlessness is AMAZING. It's impressive to say the least. Once again, sorry to see you here buddy you played a hell of a game. I can't wait to see who you are cuz I felt we had a good friendly connection that can be continued after this game. (Please dont be someone i hate lol) <3 Hope everyone else is going amazing this Monday evening. |

Thanks man! You were awesome out here. I was fortunate enough to have those good chats with you that I feel like others may have missed out on. My big question of you was, why not open up more? I think that ended up doing you in....people distrusted you by default since they didn't hear from you a whole lot. I knew where you were coming from, but others didn't it seemed. But yeah man I did feel bad on deceiving you on the Bubba vote. I didn't answer you when I voted for you. Was that better? I don't know. I was actually interested in not voting you that round, but there was no support for that. So I did not want to lie again. But yeah man, very much looking forward to seeing who you are! We had some fun out here, and I really appreciate your genuine nature out here. And you seem to have had a great experience in this game, and that is awesome! But yeah.....this final 3 will be so interesting. On paper, Todd and Julie absolutely should vote for one another. Easily the better two players left here. And I do not mean to disrespect Diane. You can't get to this point and be a slouch. She was quite good, but I guess maybe I just can't elevate the under the radar approach over control on how you get to the end. But to see what Julie pulled off....it's crazy. I knew she was a threat, but clearly I did not prioritize it like I should have. No one did. The stories of some of these jury threads, which eventually hopefully I will chime in on....I mean, to have all communication in the game coming to you basically, and manage to make it down this far, without anyone actually seriously targeting you? Like, seriously? That is so damn impressive. But. We can't forget about Todd. I guess maybe I saw the most out of him, except for I guess Julie at this point? I'd pick him as the best one on one conversationalist/strategist in the whole game. Hands down. And that's with a bunch of great players. The intricate way he parsed through what was happening in this game was phenomenal. He is WAY more than a challenge beast. I tagged him as the most threatening person here pre game. Yet he made it to at least final three. Now, shame on me I guess for not acting sooner. But from what I saw, he's so good at this game. But does it trump how Julie seemingly was the true puppet master here this whole time? Or at least, gave people the illusion it was her and not Todd here? That's the question. But yeah, that's how I'm viewing this finals. I'm really curious to see what happens. |

For me..how I play...being ignored...pisses me off more. I'm all about OWNING your game. Tell me you're voting me..*claps* good move... i'm not going to be bitter when i KNOW it's my turn...so it annoyed me when people ignored me or waited until votes are being read to msg me and say stuff...but its over...im enjoying myself here... I actually had good conversations with a lot of people so its shocking people didnt know where my head was....LOL....Rudy and I talked a lot...I talked to Diane...you...i was close to Brooke up until Bubba's vote.. I tried talking to Amanda but she was such a brick wall to me all the time as was Cirie so it made it hard to talk but I tried...but yeah its cool. I'm not sure why I was such a target...I hadn't come close to winning anything haha..i was such an easy vote to help people but they just threw me to the side LOL...but its all good this was a fun game. Thanks I have had a good experience here...what you see here...is me...i dont lie...I am who i am and thats all that I am...(popeye reference to a point). On the questionaire I had 2 people I wanted to put for "sneaky UTR could win"...Sierra...and Julie. I think I put Julie and look what she's doing.. its...amazing Todd's a talker too for sure... makes people feel safe... We should've taken Todd and you out for being threats but people looked at Me and Cirie instead as easy votes... live and learn.. I think Julie was the puppet master...100% but to end this msg...its alllll good not bitter etc... its been a hell of a ride |

Love you right back mate. Not much I want to add to your assessment of the Todd and Julie pair except that I also saw it too late. I really should have approached you the night I took the walk of shame to take out Julie, but I was still refusing to believe she would choose Todd over me at that point. I was thinking it was going to be at F4. I totally got that wrong. |

Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective, Zeke! I always thought you and Todd were the biggest threats. You were both dominating all the challenges and had a great way with communicating. I knew you guys werent on my side though so i was always ready to take a shot at you. Lol. I did try a few times to drop some hints to see if youd be open to something but i think you already had your alliances set by that point since I never seemed to get anywhere with that. Thats really amazing that you can do that with jeff probst pic! Photographic memory? So cool! |
