Ugghhh, I'm ridiculously conflicted right now. It's tough when you didn't play much at all with these players. All their moves they've mentioned I've only witnessed second-hand, so it's hard to get a good judge on what everyone has done, and I have to rely a lot on their answers to the jury questions.
I'm constantly back and forth on L.J. Half the things he says I love, and half the things he says I despise. I still cant get myself to respect the decision he made of self-voting at final 5. I know that this isn't the real survivor and the rules can be skewed or changed here, but voting off your peers is one of the fundamental principles of survivor. Each round you cast a vote to send someone home, knowing that if you make it to the end you have to convince them to in turn vote for you to win the game. Voting for yourself to avoid conflict is such a fucking cop-out, and it's not something you can pull on the real survivor. I think it goes against the game of survivor, so it's really hard for me to give him my vote.
Then again, it's not like there's a great alternative
Sherea and Mikayla are pretty much in the same boat with me. Unlike LJ, they actually spoke and had conversations with me, without me always having to initiate them. From what I have read they also played pretty similar games. But like I said, I wasn't there a majority of the time, so most of what I have to go off of is their jury pleas. I don't particularly understand why nobody is giving Mikayla a chance, considering Sherea seemed to ride coattails just as much as she did. Idk. It's tough with these jury pleas, because everyone is only putting emphasis on their successes, while others will bash them, and it leaves me with a lot of nonsense to base a vote on.
As I write this I still have photoshop open, still deciding who to cast my vote for.
L.J. made no efforts to try and work with me, but played a much riskier game than the others to get to where he's at. It's become apparent that of everyone, he wants it the most, and that's very commendable.
I'm gonna go ahead and for right now ignore the jury pleas from Mikayla and Sherea, and go back to how they interacted and played the game with me. When Sherea and I wanted to talk strategy, she just wanted to be in the know. There was never offers to work together, just information being given, then she would leave without a goodbye. With Mikayla, it was a partnership, or so I thought. We worked together and agreed we'd have each others back come merge. I even threw a challenge for her so that she could last longer in her tribe. She actually made efforts to work with me, and even though she ended up betraying me, she did it for valid reasons.
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfufkcufkufdfdkvffcuf I don't know what to do. The decision my gut wants to make I know probably wont make a difference, and will only lose me respect from my jurors. But I also don't want to reward someone who made I move I just think is completely bullshit and disrespectful towards the integrity of the game.
Fuck it, i'm going with my gut. I don't give a fuck what the jury says, i'm votin' the way Chicken want's to vote
Ya DAYUM right, i'm votin' for Mikayla. Did she play the best game? I dont fuckin know. But in the times I got to talk to these finalists (which was is some cases, very rare) she was genuine with me and was willing to work with me, and I wanted to work with her. I'm still a bit sad that she didn't help me out or even respond to my pleas for help when I got eliminated, but none of these other bitches did either. So fuck em, let's mix it up and throw a vote her way. The jury can bash my decision all they want, but I feel the most comfortable giving her my vote, over someone who used me for information then threw me away, or someone who played the game that relied on immunity wins, and in a way I cant bring myself to respect. #sorryboutit
