meoooowwwwww;) Scotty's Statements and QuestionsHEY GUYS!  Anyway idk if any of you know who I am, but I know Tilly. Nice to meet you, Aidan and Leah! I will not stand here and say "omg you guys didn't try to get to know me, shame on you! What horrible social games" (as I have had happen to me in the finale) since obviously you guys didn't need to get to know me in order to make it to the end. Speaking of which, congratulations! The three of you have done what the rest of us could not, which was make it to the end - so congrats on that. :] I'm not going to be bitter and I will give each of you a chance to earn my vote tonight. All I ask is that you listen to what I have to say openly and answer my questions honestly, and then your chances at earning my vote go up ever so much. Enough chitter chatter and let's get this show on the road -- let's go alphabetically, shall we? =] Aidan Aidan, I really don't know much about you. =\ I'm sorry I don't, but I think we spoke a couple of times in the beginning? You seemed like a nice guy and I wanted to work with you, but obviously things did not pan out as we were on opposite sides of the playing field. A couple of comments, I do feel like your Jury management has been slacking, though not quite to the level of Gale (lol, no offense Gale). You had people angry with you upon their departure from the game, you had pissed off a few people, and even when people critique you (a la Tina) you basically snapped at her. I don't mean this in a mean way, but you should be appealing to us, Aidan. You're no longer "in control" and we don't "need" you. You need us, so start acting like it. Again, I'm not trying to be rude here, I'm just pointing out you should be focusing more on jury management. That's all I really have to say, so good luck. Onto my questioning for you: 1. Can you differentiate between you and Leah? What made you stand out over Leah? Currently, the Jury views the two of you as one unit and I'd like to see where you shined where maybe Aidan didn't? Were there any points in this game the two of you disagreed or anything? Who wound up getting their way?
2. Did you ever have any intentions of not sticking with Leah and/or Tilly, or was this your plan all along?
3. Why do you think people were angry with you as they left the game?
4. Who were your true loyalties to throughout the game, and why?
5. I'm just curious, do you and Leah know each other outside of the game? Leah Leah, let me start by saying that I think you are a sweetheart. Believe it or not, your opening statement was my favorite at all. You brought up a great point that you never received a single vote against you and I think that should not go unrecognized. I truly believe you have played a good game, and I'm sorry that some people may not recognize that, because not only do I feel you played well, but you played nicely. Those are two things that are hard to combine, and you did it perfectly, in my opinion. My only qualms about voting for you is that I do feel as though, especially toward the middle/end, that you were overshadowed by Aidan and especially Tilly. I understand college and your studies should always come first, but this is a game and it's great if you can balance the two well, but I do feel as though you slacked in the game a little bit. However... you are still a sweet person, but does that warrant a win? That's why I wish to give you the opportunity to answer the following questions: 1. Can you differentiate between you and Aidan? What made you stand out over Aidan? Currently, the Jury views the two of you as one unit and I'd like to see where you shined where maybe Aidan didn't? Were there any points in this game the two of you disagreed or anything? Who wound up getting their way?
2. Do you believe you or Aidan played better?
3. Was there any point that you were considering deviating from the Favorites tribe? Why didn't you entirely?
4. Was your plan from the beginning to be sitting at the end with Aidan and Tilly? If you could replace one of your finalists with anyone on the Jury, who would you swap out and who would you choose to replace them, and why?
5. I'm just curious, do you and Aidan know each other outside of the game? Tilly Jennifer fucking Tilly.  It is my honor to be writing my Jury Statements and asking my Jury Questions in front of you. Believe it or not, you were the first person to contact me in-game, and I very much enjoyed getting to know you through PM's. Our relationship was rocky indeed, but I believe we always had that grown in ounce of respect for one another that I came to adore since my time on Jury. I recognize that you played a good game, but when I think about it - just how good was it? While I do feel that your game is overrated, I still feel it trumps that of Aidan and Leah. Don't get me wrong, I think you played great - I just don't think you played as amazing as it's cracked up to be. That's not said to be rude, but I'm just letting you know how I feel and you obviously have the Jury Questions to help me with my perceptions. With that being said, here they are: 1. Do you believe your gameplay is overrated?
2. Why did you vote out Gale in the final 5? Gale has shade some light on this answer, but I'd like to hear it from your perspective, what went down that week?
3. While I do feel that you voting out the Twins left you with less competition to win the game, I do have to say I am very sorry to not see an intense Tilly vs. Twins show down. Also, I'd like to know exactly why you voted them out? I felt that Aidan and Leah were a pair, so if there was in fact another round, you would have likely been the final Juror unless you had kept the Twins. Looking back on it, obviously you made the right decision but did you ever have that ounce of doubt, that maybe you should keep the Twins, or no? Explain your thought process please!
4. When you first got to know me and messaged me about possibly looking out for each other, did you mean it? Obviously things changed throughout the game and I don't blame you - I'm just curious, when it was said at first, was it genuine?
5. Just for fun, I'm curious - do you know my identity? All Three of You [/b]  [/center] Again, congrats on making it to the final three. I feel this is an interesting mix of people and I would have loved to see a greater variety of people, but obviously I won't sit here and pretend to know everything that happened in this game, so I have a few questions I'd like each of you to share when answering, so I can compare them: 1. List your three biggest moves in this game. Why were these your biggest moves? Did they help you or hurt you? Elaborate!
2. If you could pick any three Jurors to be sitting where you three are now, who would they be, and why?
3. Rank the three of yourselves in terms of game play. Which of the three of you deserve to win the most, the second most, and third most. Why?
4. Point out several (as many) differences between your games and your counterparts as possible. What makes your game play shine and what makes theirs fade out? Why should we vote for you, what moves did you make to deserve it over the other two, and what did you do, that the other two did not do?
5. State three things you've learned about each of the Jurors upon your social interaction with each of them. Tina and Terri will count as different people in this example, so I expect six for the two of them combined.
6. FINAL QUESTION: Please find and post here your favorite gif of a kitty. I LOVE kitty gifs and would love to add some more to my non-existent collection, so please provide your favorite as I'd like to see them. This is more for fun than contributing towards my vote haha. Thank you for your time and effort, and may the best finalist win. Good luck you three!  Scotty out.~ |

Also, if you could post one gif to represent each of your games, what gifs would they be?
Sorry for so many questions. They don't require that much fluff just get to the point and I don't mean to make you spend too much time on them. Some of the questions are just for fun so try to enjoy yourselves with it!
Thanks again.
Scotty out~
....again lol

I think the game play that people saw may seem overrated, but that's a large part in the fact I was able to overshadow most people so easily. The underlining game play that people did NOT see though, no. I do not feel it's overrated.It came down to a few key issues that all piled into 1 big ass decision. In short...poor communication between Gale & I, Leah's threat to destroy ALL of our games if Aidan left, I didn't WANT Aidan out anyway (I wanted Leah out) and then the fact I knew a finale would be easier with Gale sitting where she is than sitting next to me. So a big, complicated ball of that.As much fun and intense as a Tilly vs. Twins showdown would've been, I agree...it wouldn't have been smart on my end to see that happen. I could be wrong, but I don't feel as though I would've been the final Juror. I'm stronger in challenges than both Leah & Aidan, plus Aidan & I already swore to each other that if a surprise F2 were to occur we'd take out Leah. Do I believe he'd actually do so? Yes. For 2 reasons. One, with Leah in the Jury he's got a guaranteed vote for him to win. Me on the Jury and my vote would go to Leah out of spite. I made that known. Two, he swore to me on Day 1 and nearly every day since that he'd never under any circumstance write my name down; that he'd quit before doing so. I believe he would've kept to that. And if I'm wrong...then I would've made one hell of a Juror. <3 But that was my thought process and I'm confident in it. No doubt here.I genuinely wanted to get to know you better and work with you. I had a blast that night the big Reject challenge fight happened and we turned it around into fun GIFs. <3 That's what lead to me wanting that and it was 100% genuine.I don't know for a fact who you are, but I've always had my suspicions between 2 people. I only know of 2 people who have used cat GIFs as much as you have, so yeah. xD I won't say the names of those in public out of respect for them, but I'll gladly provide names in private if you like. See if I'm right or wrong.

Most of my moves were long spanning, not quick BAM someone got voted out cause I wanted it types. So please keep that in mind.
I'd say my first move and my most important was forming the alliances that I did when I did. It's a strategy I've used in the past and has never failed me. On Day 1 I went out and made 2 F3 alliances. One with the BBQs (Gale & Sid) and one with the Brazilians (Leah & Aidan). If something went down in the Faves...it was because of one of these 2 alliances. I kept the tribe united by making the BBQs think the Brazilians were easy to work over to do what we want...and by making the Brazilians think the same of the BBQs. I was from then on able to get what I wanted each round because I could just go to one or both alliances and make it happen. This was the dominating alliance(s) of the game and I firmly believe that without it...this game would've turned out so much different.
My second move would've been throwing Nora under the bus with the Rejects vote. Originally, it was supposed to be Evan, Addie & Nora leaving that round for various reasons. Then everyone started to see it as a chance to take out a threat instead of Nora, despite the fact we all suspected the Rejects idea. Gale threw out Aidan's name and in retaliation Aidan ran to Nora to go against Gale. To keep my 2 alliances in tact and so I wouldn't have to pick one over the other, I had to exaggerate some drama involving Nora so that SHE was the third going home again. It worked. Everyone got pissed at her and she got votes with ease. I was able to fuel this to keep the Faves anti-Nora and ensure we sent her home first at merge.
End game; destroying the Brazilians/Fans alliance & putting fire under their asses. The round Michael went home the Brazilians made an alliance with Alice & the Twins to take out Michael then Gale. They succeeded in the first, but I made sure to step in. I first confronted the Brazilians. Then I (honestly not knowing there was one) told the Brazilians I knew about their deal with the Fans and how fucked up I thought it was. Aidan admitted to the deal (lawls) and fessed it was a mistake. I didn't really believe they'd NOT go against Gale, so I made up a lie based on a legit conversation with the cohost. I told them the host "let it slip" that it's a surprise F4 finale because he had seen it before and wanted to do it himself. I put the fear of God into the Brazilians that if the Fans didn't go 6th & 5th that we'd ALL lose because a Fan would make finale. So they helped vote Alice out with ease (who I felt was the bigger finale threat). Had a slip up when the Twins won the F4 challenge & the host posted on the board that F4 would have the final challenge. LOL So I played it off like "OMG that fucker was teasing me!" By this point, they had broken their deal with the Fans and that's all I needed. It kept them loyal for the round I needed them to be and gave me fire to light under their asses for the final challenge. I spent 3 days telling both how weak I felt Leah was and how if the Twins win we all lose, knowing Leah would want to prove me wrong and fight like hell. I didn't care which of us 3 won, but I wanted to make sure they didn't just sit on their asses and let me do all the work like they did most of the game. *cough* Especially pre-merge, where I single handedly gave us 3 wins. *cough*
Gale, Ralph & Alice. I feel these 3 played the strongest games, all throughout.Me -> Aidan -> Leah. Without me, neither of them would've made it this far. I'm 100% confident in that fact. Aidan would be next because he at least attempted to play the game, making moves. Granted, they were pointless and made the game harder...but he did something. Leah for last because outside of being sweet, she didn't DO anything. She quite literally just did what Aidan and I told her all game. Even when the Brazilians took out Michael, she told me she only did so because Aidan told her to cause I talked more with Michael (which wasn't even true).I actually PLAYED the game for one. I took control of my own fate instead of relying solely on other people or asking what to do, I dominated the challenges pre-merge (I firmly believe the Fans would've won most challenges had I not stepped up), I stepped out of my comfort zone (having never worked with Gale before, having worked with Sid who was an ENEMY the last time we played & went against my better judgement to work with Aidan as he's stabbed me in the back twice in the past), made moves that actually IMPROVED my odds instead of making things more difficult, I made alliances and actually stuck to them, never actually technically betrayed anyone oddly enough, nearly every elimination was what I wanted, and the biggest of all...I'm memorable. Guarantee you I'll be remembered long after they will.If you don't mind, I'll have to get back to this one. It's still early morning for me and I admittedly don't generally get to know everyone's life stories in ORGs. I do for those I talk with often, but for those who I'm opposed...I don't. Makes it harder to vote them out. I've always loved this one. Also, if this looks especially familiar to you...then you're 1 of the 2.  If it doesn't...then damn! One down, one to go. xD

Sorry Scott but Tina is making me angry and I´m just giving her that attitude. I think I play a little batter because I always give my best in challenge and I think she plays a UTR game and I not. Of course we disagree in many things and one in fact was Michael vote, she didnt want to do it but I wanted because I knew it( and know reading Tilly answer I was right ) that Tilly could get Gale/Mike to break me/leah in the F5 so our last chance to get the fans would be that round. yep since the day one I made the F3 deal with both and I wanted us 3 here all the way. because I play the game doing moves that of course would angry people because no one likes to be voted out, and I did big moves to be here, but what people need to see is that all the moves that I made was a needed move (I know Tilly are saying that was pointless moves that just make the game harder but harder for her because I´m sure the game would be harder if I had stay with all the favorites, so I needed the moves) or I would not be here now Tilly and Leah, because I love both of them <3 I think most of you know by know, yes we know each other out of the game[/blockquote] All Three of You [/b] [/center] Again, congrats on making it to the final three. I feel this is an interesting mix of people and I would have loved to see a greater variety of people, but obviously I won't sit here and pretend to know everything that happened in this game, so I have a few questions I'd like each of you to share when answering, so I can compare them: 1- just like Tilly I never counted just with one alliance, I made my official alliance with Tilly/Leah but I also had another one going with Nora/Addie/Leah( the season 9 alliance) so I would be cover if something goes wrong. 2- Vote Sidney out and doing that getting close to the fans: I knew it that Sidney was going after me and I try get her out once but Nora let that oportunity go when she tell Gale everything about the plan so I had to let it go for that round, but then we I had the chance to divide the tribe I knew that I had to do something and Tina said that I just did that cause fear of an HII, what fear? I was immune and if I had stay with the favorites plan it would tie between Twins and Ralph and no matter if an HII would be play one fan would go home and plus I also helped Alice since I supossed to vote her in the other TC and tie the vote but I didnt vote her, gain her trust even more. 3- Voting Mike out: I knew it Gale and Tilly were like me/leah a pair, so would be easy for both of them get Mike after all the fans go home since me and mike was never that much close, so once again I had to betray another favorite. I just want make something clear here, and maybe this will calm Terri and Alice down, after mike go home we had a deal to vote Gale out, but I knew it that Gale or Tilly had a HII but talking with Tilly I play with her telling that I knew it both had an HII and she told me that is truth that each of them had an HII so even if I had voted Gale with them that would not change the results, that would just make Gale angry at me, and I could not tell about the 2 HII or you two would try turn the votes to the only person not immune in that round and that person would be Leah and you guys know that I would never put Leah in danger thats why I had to go against my word, I knew that nothing I could do to save you  Ralph- great player, but saddly was in the wrong tribe, if we had start the game together things would be diferent Nora- another great player and even shes mad at me know I understand and still love her Alice- Alice( and Terri) was the fan that I get more close to and I love her. Myself- of course I had to say my was the best game, I did big moves to improve my place in the tribe, I was social with most of you and I didnt get stuck just with the favorite alliance. Tilly- she play a great game I just have to say that she enter and finished with the favorites till the end mentality, and she never try do moves in the game. Leah: leah and I play this game from start to finished the only thing that put her here is her lack of time since the college return and that get her away from the game this was a fans vs Favorites season and I played in that way, I talked with fans, I play WITH the fans for some rounds not just AGAINST them( I know that Sid did that too, but I was able to do what she could not, because if she had I would not be here and she was), I knew it that thoses moves would put blood in my hands but I was not afraid that like I said in my opening I knew this would be a brutal season so I had to play hard. I will do this later [/blockquote][/quote] I will edit it later |

Nora...
1) She's complicated.
2) Don't underestimate her.
3) Not nearly as chaotic as I originally thought.
Scott...
1) Doesn't like confrontation.
2) Likes GIFs & cats.<3
3) Strategically smoother than he lets on.
Tommy...
I didn't honestly learn anything knew of him. I've seen him play; him a player and me a host. He played the same. Strong & clever.
Sidney...
1) Easy and fun to talk with.
2) Quiet doesn't mean boring. It means look out. xD
3) Humble & unafraid to admit when she's wrong.
Ralph...
1) Will do what it takes to win. (like reveal alias)
2) Smarter than I originally gave him credit for.
3) Classy & respectful during game & in exit.
Carlos...
Sadly, I didn't learn anything new about him either. He admittedly spent more of his time and energy on a different game he was into and had little time to really socialize.
Michael...
1) We can actually get along! LOL
2) Has come along way with his attitude since S2. Hoping to get his secret. <3
3) Hard to talk with...until you crack in there. Then he's a ball of fun.
Alice...
The only thing new I learned was how sly she's become. I've played I think 1 game with her in the past and she was so all over the place. She's come a long way, refining her game and it really shows.
Gale...
1) Is very loyal! LOL This is the first time I've worked with her and was my biggest fear in doing so.
2) Works too damn much. xD
3) A lot more open than I thought; I used to think she was cliquey. (Sorry Gale! *dodges attack*)
Twins...
1) Terri's the brains. Tina's the brawn.
I didn't learn much anything else worth noting. I steered clear of getting to know them as they were the enemy and Tina made it hard to want to.

You weren't right though. Just because someone CAN do something, doesn't mean they WILL. The plan was for Michael to go 5th Place. I was not going to stray from that because I had no allegiance outside of the standard "Favs" and knew he was more well liked than all 4 of us. I in no would've benefited in keeping him longer. Your move made it SO much harder and was pointless. Sorry, but it was.

I never told you that. I reminded you Gale was at Exile where she COULD find an idol...not that she actually HAD one. Don't get me wrong. She did. I knew she did. I'm the one who gave her the PW for it. The record image. <3 But I never told you she had it. That was an assumption you made. As for mine, I neither confirmed nor denied.

Hey, Scott! <3333
I know I went a little UTR in the middle of the game, but I'll try to explain here. I enter my service in the 6AM, I just leave from there at 5:30 PM, where I have to run back home, take a shower and get a van that goes on in my house 6PM, to take me to college which is in another city. I'm there in college until 10:40 PM, arriving at my house 12AM. So basically I do not have time to get here, I try to get here between the bath and expects the van to see if you have any news and chat with everyone. This proves that when I have time (Saturday and Sunday) I'm a beast on challenges.
1. Can you differentiate between you and Aidan? What made you stand out over Aidan? Currently, the Jury views the two of you and the one unit I'd like to see where you shined where maybe Aidan did not? Were there any points in this game the two of you disagreed or anything? Who wound up getting Their Own Way?
I think I had a social game a little better than him, I tried to talk and meet everyone. We disagree a lot during the game, but I think without me, Aidan would not have had the courage to do the only game moves.
2. Do you believe you or Aidan played better?
I think I played a better game than Aidan, because I did all the moves he made, but did not have to leave anyone mad at me, letting him take all the blame yourself. If not for I have talked to Alice / Terri, perhaps eliminating Sidney had not happened. My social game was a little better, since I have not received any voting against the entire game.
3. Was there any point That you were considering deviating from the Favorites tribe? Entirely Why did not you?
Yep, but I Know That if I do that, I would lose the game for sure, because all the favorites would be angry at me and the fans would not vote for me in the end.
4. Was your plan from the beginning to be sitting at the end with Aidan and Tilly? If You Could replace one of your finalists with anyone on the Jury, who would you swap out and who would you choose to replace Them, and why?
Yes, from day 1. Of course with the game going, I approached Mike and I really really wanted him here in place of Tilly or Aidan, it does not matter, because I really liked him, but I preferred to keep my word with them.
5t. I'm just curious, do you know Aidan and each other outside of the game?
Yes, we are neighbors
