Hey guys.
First of all, I just want to congratulate both of you on making it this far, and I have to admit that I really don't know how to follow Kelly's whole jury thing so well, I'm not going to try and one up that, haha. I haven't made up my mind, so either of you could get it at this point, I think. Anyway, enough of wasting time, so let's get to it.
Shawn: From the start, I have to admit that it felt like you might have had something going on with Kelly, and as the game went on it just seemed more and more obvious to me. Whereas I know why Kelly decided to make sure I was on the outs of Jagati from the start, I don't really know why YOU decided to keep me on the outs of things from the get go. I mean yeah, you DID tell me "sorry, but I can't convince them to keep you" the round I went, but by the time you did tell me that, it was already pretty damn obvious that I was going so it didn't strike me as much of anything other than an attempt to get my vote. That being said though, you were part of the trio that seemed to control most of the things in this game, even though Kelly was seemingly in charge of most things. However, from where I'm sitting it appears to me that she was playing you most of the time. What I'd like you to do, is give me an example of when you were playing her and not the other way around.
Matty: Truth be told, I actually don't know what to say really. I mean, yeah you managed to go through the merge all the way here even though your tribe was down 6-3 at the merge, but you've also done your fair share of contradictory things too. And I don't mean just in terms of lying because, let's be realistic here, chances are everybody's going to lie at some point in this game. I mean that you've sometimes said you want to do things that will get you further in the game and make it easier for you to win, only to do things that would make it more difficult for you to get here and win. Okay, you told me you were threatened into voting for me when Kelly went as a result of my idol, and said you'd think on your own, but then you go back to Shawn's group and vote with them again. Sure, you lied to me and had me in practically a lose-lose, position, but there was no real strategic advantage to doing that. I mean, okay, you knew Shawn and Jaime were voting for me, and you knew that Coach was going after Erin, and yet you tried to tell me that the two of us should vote for someone who wasn't going to originally get any votes that round to begin with. And you did this after your mind was already made up on voting me out. Now,sure you're a nice guy, and we'll probably get along well after this, but I'd like you to try and explain how some of your moves like that benefitted you strategically. Note, this isn't some sort of bitter "tell me how the hell you can think this would benefit you, even though I'm NOT voting for you" thing. No, this is just me asking you to try and do that, because if you answer well enough, then you'll certainly have a shot at my vote.
Both: I'd like each of you to list which OTHER JURORS each person on the jury could and couldn't beat in the Final 2, and explain why.
Also, since there are 18 people involved in this game (the 16 players and 2 hosts), pick a number between 1 and 18, just for kicks.
