This is Pat'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 Pat. In-fighting amongst the Final 3 should be reserved for the Live Final Tribal Council on Sunday.

Pat, 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.

congratulations sebastian, davie, and donathan you did what the rest of us couldn’t and made it to the final 3 blah blah blah..

hi, final three, i felt like i held back in my exit speech so i have some things to say here. donathan (who?), you and davie both had ample time to make moves on the big players in the game but you guys never actually did something. there are so many other people who deserve to be there over you guys (gabby was robbed). there’s no way that very fucking vote should be straight forward when there are people who are clearly on the bottom.

sebastian, congrats on hoarding an idol all merge that could’ve been used on allies i guess. well played, but i wish you would’ve been a bit nicer to people.

my first question is for davie. it seems that most of the jury didn’t really see you play the game, what would you say was your most pivotal move?

my next question is for donathan. from the outside looking in, it seemed as though chelsea was the sole decider of you would vote for at tribal. because we talked so little, i am unaware of the moves you made on your own. what was one decision you actually made for yourself? i really wish you would’ve done SOMETHING LITERALLY EVERYONE WOULDVE VOTED WITH YOU

sebastian, although you played a very good game, some members of the jury believe that you were often rude for no reason. was being an asshole part of your strategy, or are you just that unbearable naturally?

Hi Pat! I never really got to knew you and that was due to a series of multiple events. First of all when we merged I was out of town and I'm not going to use that as an excuse but rather hopefully an explanation. My best friend's mom had just passed away so I spent the week in the middle of the woods with poor wifi to just be there for her. I made sure to come on for immunity challenges and tribal council and gave myself enough time to check in with the people that I had built both personal and game relationships with to ensure that even if I wasn't able to give my full time and attention this game meant enough to me that I wasn't going to completely neglect it, but there were more important things going on that I couldn't spend all day everyday playing 4d chess. Okay moving on, you say that you're unaware of the moves that I made, but I feel like in my 3 page google doc opening statement, I pretty clearly outlined my game. You can say that you don't respect it, or you don't believe that I'm telling the truth, but to say that you're unaware just makes me feel like it doesn't what I say to you or the jury you just don't want to hear it because it doesn't align with your perception of me and my game and you're not open to giving me a chance which is really a shame for you!

It's also so shocking to me that you are one of the biggest proponents of forcing the narrative that I only followed Chelsea's order and I was so attached to her that she and only she not only influenced but directly controlled my game. Um, that's false! There was one instance at the first vote where I knew Chelsea was the potential swing vote so when she said she wanted to vote Chris, I jumped on that because it was the best plan for me. Come merge, I had a great personal relationship with Chelsea and we talked game a lot but I was also talking game with Sebastian, Gabby, Mike, Alec, Robb, and Angela. I was getting information from multiple people and using all of those connections to gather insight on what would be the best moves for my game. If you want me to point to a moment where it was one decision that I made on my own, it would be me voting for you. It was the day of my friend's mom's services so I knew that I wouldn't be around. The names going around were between you and Davie. I said to Chelsea "I'm voting Pat" and at that time there was no clear idea of what way the votes would fall because it was so early that she was really the only person on due to timezones. I found you to be the bigger threat out of the two people who I saw as easy votes and I wanted you gone so I voted for you even if I wasn't sure you would leave that night and at that point Chelsea didn't even have her vote finalized yet or tell me the way to vote. I'm glad it worked out because you clearly don't like me and having you leave so early in the merge was perfect for my game!!! For you to say you wish i did "SOMETHING" is really aggravating because what you mean is that you wish I did something that you wanted me to do... because I was doing things and you have to be illiterate or too stubborn to accept any truth other than your own to believe that I did nothing in this game. I'm not sorry that I followed what was best for me to get to the end rather than just making the moves you would have liked me to make that would have benefitted you or your idea of how the game should be played. But I'm here at the end and you've been in jury for 10+ days so I guess it worked out better for me!

With that said I genuinely would like to get the chance to know you after this game maybe we could be cool and we'll be friends but that will be a decision that i make for myself <3

sebastian, although you played a very good game, some members of the jury believe that you were often rude for no reason. was being an asshole part of your strategy, or are you just that unbearable naturally?

Some of me being unlikable was part of my strategy. This was especially true at tribal councils where I tried to be extra-assholeish to entice others to want to bring me further. But I don’t want to lie on finale night, after hearing a lot of you guys’ jury questions I’m starting to think I am inherently unlikable. I truly didn’t try to hurt all of you on a personal level but question after question makes it more apparent how rude and distasteful I really am.

So in short- the parts at tribal was strategy, but it seems the other part is a character trait that I am going to need to work on in the future. I never really saw myself as this much of an asshat until this jury segment. I tried to connect with you when you were online, and a lot of it is my fault that we didn’t see eye to eye. And clearly you weren’t the only person who saw me this way. So I think this whole experience has been a serious wake up call to how I treat others and I’m hoping that I didn’t anger all of you enough to never want to talk to me after the reunion on Sunday.

^^^ just realized I said “in short” before making my second paragraph longer

[Davie]

my first question is for davie. it seems that most of the jury didn’t really see you play the game, what would you say was your most pivotal move?

I think my most pivotal move outside of taking the idol and getting Jed voted out came after you were voted out. I knew I had been in danger, and I could've easily been the next vote, but instead of sticking my neck out and kicking up a stir, I managed to flip to the majority alliance without any major repercussions. It really changed my position in the game, I went from being the next out to being in a group guaranteed to get me to the end.
