I never thought you had no shot, and I definitely haven't said so here. I've known all along that you have Misty, Blue and Janine's votes pretty much locked down. I do think you alienated or just flat out insulted every other Jury member at some point or another though. I'm hoping they don't want to reward that. |

At this point Chuck is the only juror yet to post his question or statement. If the Final 3 would like to post a Closing Statement or continue to debate with each other then feel free. The other jurors can continue to discuss everything in their sub-forum, remember we have less than two hours until votes are final & the Champion is crowned

Lol sorry this is not true. Yes I voted with you, and yes I was blindsided, but I was never in any danger that round. I did want Janine gone, but I never pushed it as hard as you did. I could tell from talking to Misty and Blue that they were much tighter with Surge than they were letting on, and they wouldn't be voting him out without a fight. When I figured this out I realised it might not be the time to vote them out and I would have been comfortable voting out Red as was originally planned. You however wouldn't take no for an answer and were foolish enough to go all the way with it. Yes I voted with you but I also survived and was able to make amends with everyone on the tribe. |

I hate to agree with my competitor but this pretty much sums my view up as well (except I don't think Blue's vote is locked)

I just re-read Surge's answer to Misty's question and I feel I should address one point. You do realise Fallen Comrades was at F4, right? We were always voting Morty out then, no matter if we were reminded that you were a cunt or not. Saying you acted like a dick to most of the jury was strategy is just a cop out. It's the same as a goat strategy. Deliberately playing poorly so you will get taken to the end. This should not be rewarded with a vote! |

Okay, closing statement time. ![]() I didn't play a perfect game, far from it. I made mistakes, but I learned from them and I did what I needed to survive. I made real bonds with people, and I made enemies too. It has honestly been an incredible journey to this point, and I am happy with the way I played. ![]() As for why I deserve your vote...hopefully I've already managed to convince everyone that I did play a better game overall than both Surge and Sabrina. Socially I was at least on par with Sabrina, and I do think I had a much stronger social game than Surge. I always kept my options open, while Surge excelled at closing them off. My strategical game was solid, especially in the latter half of the merge. I managed to blindside not only one my fellow finalists, but I sent him into the Stadium with one of his closest allies and forced him to remove the biggest threat in the game. Sabrina admittedly followed my lead during the merge, and 'let me do the talking'. While our games may have appeared similar because we were working together throughout, I was definitely the dominant force in this pairing. I love you Sab, but you know that's true. Anyway, thanks for the game and regardless of what happens tonight, I had fun! Good luck to Surge and Sabrina as well <3 |

Ok let’s wrap this up. It’s been a long 3 or 4 weeks and I look forward to speaking to everyone once the cast reveal is over. Before that though, one of Blaine, Lt Surge and I will be crowned the winner of this fantastic game, and I hope I have outlined in the past 24 hours why that person should be me. I feel like I played the smartest game to get myself to the end. I created social bonds with everybody on the jury and used them to stay safe for the whole pre merge and the first part of the post merge. The main reason I was in danger post merge was because I relied on Chuck making the sensible vote at Bugsy’s boot. Had this happened I believe I would have been safe for the next few votes too, as I outlined in Bugsy’s question. Chuck couldn’t even bring himself to show to this FTC so obviously it was a mistake to trust him, and I take responsibility for it, but I think it proves I wasn’t just playing the safe game, I wasn’t just a Blaine-lite following whatever he did. I was taking risks. Sometimes they paid off, sometimes they didn’t, but I always aimed high and it got me to this spot now. I think I played a better game than Blaine. Pre merge has been talked about to death, but the facts don’t lie. He had an opportunity to make strong social bonds with the Johtos pre merge only because he was voted out. He did not plan to ‘take advantage of the Arena format’, he got too hot headed and got himself voted out, then got voted out again. Post merge he did improve, no doubt about it. But even at the Misty vote, which is being heralded as his massive game changer, I was always voting for Misty that round and I believe Morty would have too, regardless. He did play Surge and Blue well but I had an equal part in that too. I had to make them believe that I truly believed I was voting the way I told them I was. I think I played a better game than Surge. He had close bonds with a select few of the jury but treated the rest of you like shit. He says his strategy was to act like a dick and be taken to the end. Fair enough, but this is the classic goat strategy. It sucks and should NEVER be rewarded. I am not telling you this was his strategy, he is admitting it himself! Anyway, it’s all been said before, but overall I believe I had the best social game, the best ‘physical’ game and at least equally as good of a strategic game as Blaine and Surge and I think I deserve your vote. I look forward to the reveal and I will respect the jury’s decision. I wish luck to Blaine and Surge, but not too much luck Either way it's been fun ![]()

Anyway, I know you're smart enough to make up your own mind, thanks again for the question






Either way it's been fun
