This is Gabby's Final Tribal Council Thread.

All other Jurors should remain in their own threads. Final 3, remember... this is not for you to address each other, but to talk to Gabby. In-fighting amongst the Final 3 should be reserved for the Live Final Tribal Council on Sunday.

Gabby, you have until Saturday at 8c/9e to post your statements/questions to the Final 3. Remember not to take up too much of their time as they have 8 other jurors to get to. Please no listing or questions requiring novels for answers. You should post all of your statements/questions in your opening post in this thread. There is a live Final Council on Sunday where you will get to address everyone live about the statements they have made as well ask ask follow ups.

Hi, boys <3 I’ve been nice this whole game, so I think I’ve built up enough good karma to say whatever I want here. None of you deserve to be here and I hope you know that. Davie, you’re a sweetie and you know you didn’t do too much, so I’m proud of you. Your move to take individual immunity while sending your tribe to tribal was A+ and way better than anything Donathan or Sebastian did. Donathan, I really don’t have anything to say to you. You waiting until the last second to try to make a move made it very clear you weren’t playing the whole time. Now Sebastian, Nick, papi, cunt, whichever you prefer, I don’t know what to think here. I’ll just get to the questions.

Sebastian
I’ve been annoyingly campaigning for you in ponderosa because I believed you played the best game out of the final three. The rest of the jury, who was way more honest with me during the game than you ever were, have opened my eyes. You added to my sad belief that Mike and Alec didn’t care about me, but really it was you who didn’t care about me. I told you everything and I told you I’d do whatever you wanted, and yet you still lied to me. You explained your game well enough for me, and I completely understand it, but I do have one question about something you said. “I would even joke to Gabby about not knowing who Davie or Don were, pretending to forget their existence in the game.” Am I just a joke to you?

Davie
Since I’m just a joke to Sebastian, you could get my vote. My question for you isn’t really about gameplay, but awareness. When did you figure out Sebastian was such a sleaze and the perfect person to bring to FTC?

Donathan
Every time you were about to vote against me, you talked to me more than usual. Do you see how obvious and annoying that is?

I think to say I didn't care about you is a pretty harsh thing to say. I think I did use some manipulative tactics in regard to our friendship to further my game, but I have always and will continue to care about you. In regards to you being a joke- I truly believe you were the biggest threat in the game. I never considered you a joke and I took a lot of what you said all game to heart. I think I did some gross things in this game- I made you feel like other people didn't care so that you would come running to me. Was that morally correct or the best way to send out the final juror? Probably not. Was it an effective way to get to the end? I believe so.

I don't think you are a joke, I'm sure in ponderosa you have realized by now that you were a fierce player and someone that I was too scared of to bring to the end. I am sorry if I have ever made you feel like a joke or that I came off looking like a sleeze.

I am sorry I lied to you all game, and I am sorry I prayed on emotions in the way I did, but I saw the two of us as playing this game in lockstep. You were the careful and quiet social player while I slit throats left and right. In my mind, a joke doesn't make final four in stranded.

During the tribal council at which Alec was voted out, when Sebastian really started to act up, was when I felt I'd actually have a shot against him. I like Sebastian, but he switches narratives back and forth between playing this big villain and being, to be frank, a kiss up. I'm not sure how the others felt about it but I knew that if I was a juror I'd see someone switching between "These idiots are never voting for me" in one post and then "I love all of you" as a bit duplicitous. This is why I really felt I needed to be in the finals with Sebastian.

[Sebastian]

Am I just a joke to you?

I'm sorry I just have to add more to this. I cried over you in all honesty, I cried over this game. You told me some very personal stuff, some of your fears, things about your life and countless things that made me smile. Whether you believe me or not just know what I have said to you on a personal level has always been real with you. On a game level I fucked you over more than once and I'm sorry, but you are someone I do deeply care about.

[Sebastian]

And I'm fucking crying again because I have my rap playlist on shuffle and a dumb post malone song came on so I hope you're happy

I've been crying too lol thanks <3

Donathan, I really don’t have anything to say to you. You waiting until the last second to try to make a move made it very clear you weren’t playing the whole time. Every time you were about to vote against me, you talked to me more than usual. Do you see how obvious and annoying that is?

Hi Gabby! I know you don't really have anything to say to me and there's probably little I can do to change your perception that I wasn't playing the whole time, so I'm not going to go on to defend my game as I feel like I've done that and will probably maybe continue to do that while answering other questions. I don't necessarily find your question to be phrased in the most positive way, so I'm not sure if it's rhetorical or maybe you just want me to talk about myself and my self image. My therapist would want me to address my deep seated issue with being found annoying and the impact that has had on me in my life and how I subconsciously suppress the outgoing sides of my personality for fear that they will be perceived as annoying thus leaving me as a shell of a person who is just now at 25 learning to accept myself and be okay with being a human being. I'm still at the very early stages of that and that's the real journey that I'm on, I'm grateful for this game to be a part of my story because it has meant so much to me, but there are things bigger than this and I want to take my can do attitude from this game into the real world because that's the passion I need in life.

Is that what you wanted from me when you asked that question? I'm not really sure it was kind of vague. But I'm sorry that I felt and still feel a genuine friendship with you that I wanted to talk to you and maybe subconsciously when I was thinking about you from a strategic standpoint I tried to overcompensate the personal and game differences that I felt about you by coming to you and trying to maintain that aspect of our relationship.
