[Sebastian]

Well, I was having trouble making my mind up till a second ago LOL thanks buddy

I hope that isn't actually the deciding factor in your vote, it is nothing personal dude

It's more of the fact that you're awarding me, a juror who really could be swayed either way tonight and someone you assured was safe when you were blindsiding them (quit this narrative where you warned me with anything more than "it could be any of us tonight") with an award for being dumb. It's basically like saying "haha, dipshit, you're dumb for trusting me!" and if you wanna do that, fine. Don't act like my vote shouldn't be impacted by it, though.

That is fair, I was trying to make light of a situation. I didn't see you as a lock, and haven't assumed you as a lock since you jokingly called me seabitch on Thursday. When you asked if you were in danger at the final seven I believe my exact wording was that "votes might be coming your way", but you are right I didn't tell you that you were in danger or that I was voting you. So I'm sorry for that one Alec, and I'm sorry that it has impacted how you are voting.

[Mike]

My question for you all is, when were you in danger, and how did you work your way out of that danger to get to the end?

I was rarely in danger, I know that early in the merge I got a few votes but I had built the foundation of relationships with people that made it so that I wasn't really an option to be voted out even over someone like Pat who was probably at the same threat level as me. The next time I was in danger danger was probably final 4 because I had just thrown Gabby's game under the bus, so if she won final immunity, I can see her trying to vote me out. I would have had Sebastian's vote for me to stay and I had an arsenal of reasons why Sebastian would be the better vote out instead of me to say to Davie if I needed his vote. But I didn't ultimately have to do any of that because I won the challenge and brought myself here instead.

Do you actually think you would've been voted out at F4 over Seb?

[Alec]

I would love to remind everyone that Sebastian is a big fat fucking goat and Davie and Don both played superior games to him. These boys made FTC without pissing anyone off. Davie took individual immunity for himself, Donathan won two immunities to get himself to the end. They made the end the same way Sebastian did without being a total jerk.

Stangela has a damn good point lmao

[Gabby]

Donathan, I am still so confused about your weird speech asking Sebastian to vote me out at f5. You knew he wanted me out before f3. You knew your best chance was with Davie and Sebastian, not Robb. If you voted me out instead of Robb and then let him go on to win the FIC then you'd be sitting beside him with no shot in hell. I know you touched on it before, but that wasn't enough for me. So, what the fuck?

[Davie]

Davie

I spend the past 30 days here Online for almost 18-20 hrs and you have been the most inactive player in the F3 so just imagine how the jury felt that some nobody inactive player is at the Final and not them but still some of us are considering voting for you but what hurt your chances was that No Show Fuckery that happened at the Final 5. I think most us here is mad that you missed the F5 Challenge and Immunity and it's not a good look for you because it made it seem like you don't care. So we want to know the reason why you missed that because we all don't know and we want to understand why you have to miss it.

I'll answer this completely honestly- I'd had a very bad day that day concerning work. Most of you know that I work at a library, which I love, but I make below minimum wage doing so. That day, the board had a meeting concerning adjusting our pay to a better wage and turned it down, meaning I'll have to continue making very little. I also had a job interview at another place which I did horrible at, which left me feeling bad about myself. Some friends took me out for dinner to help brighten my day, and honestly it slipped my mind. I really regret it and I don't think it was a valid reason to miss, and if I could change it I would've been there. I'm sincerely sorry for missing it, and I hope that the one event doesn't affect anyone's decision to vote for me or not.

[Donathan]

Do you actually think you would've been voted out at F4 over Seb?

No probably not and I would have put in a lot of work to make sure that I wasn't whether that was through making sure I had the votes or forcing a tie breaker and giving myself the chance to win my way here anyway, but I doubt that would have been necessary if I had to make a guess.

[Sebastian]

The votes aren't locked until the last minute.

Then allow me to ask you a question. What is the biggest thing holding you back, for you personally, from voting for me?

I really liked you as a person, we really connected. Theres nothing really personal that's holding me back, I just wish we could've had gone longer.

I still like you as a person! We are similar ages and I really never knew anyone married so young. I found you to be cool and I hope that maybe after this we can still chat regardless of your vote. Truth is you would have had the ultimate underdog story if you made it to the end after being close to the first merge boot. You scared me, what you could do in this game. I'm more sorry about how you went out.

[Davie]

And I'm not saying what I said to sound like I want a pity party or anything. I missed it when I shouldn't have, and I definitely deserve flack for that. I didn't really want to explain why I missed because I feel like any reason barring illness wasn't good enough, but you asked so I gave an honest answer!

Davie I really want to vote you, but missing that F5 was painful to watch and really did hurt a lot of the jury. Convince me your game play up to that point allowed you to miss a tribal and be fine. If you can convince me of that while not essentially labeling yourself the goat king you may still have a shot

This is what I want to know because I know we have lives outside of this game, Thank you Davie for being honest.

I have a follow up question later that will decide if I am going to vote for you and it's important.

[Donathan]

So, what the fuck?

Hi Gabby, I know you hate me and you go through disliking a large percentage of my explanations to other jurors so I don't really feel like you actually want to know the answer to this question, because as you mention I have touched on it before. I understand if it's confusing because I have stated that Robb leaving at that time was still beneficial for my game and I was fully aware that he would be leaving that night. I wanted you gone because you were a huge threat in the game and I used that opportunity to showcase that. I'm sorry if it hurt you because we always got along great and I hope that we can continue to do so after this game, but it really did have strategic merit in my mind whether you want to believe so or not is up to you.

[Stephanie]

Sebastian, you claim to have played the social game pretty well but have made plenty of enemies on the jury. During the game what would've you have improved when talking to people when they knew they were going home or on the bottom?

[Sebastian]

I'm not really sure how to respond to Angela because it wasn't really a question but all I will say is that I believe I made moves in the game even if you don't want to admit it, I didn't need immunity to get where I am, and I like to think I built actual bonds with people. I enjoyed talking to you every day and you were one of the people I enjoyed talking to about drinking with. Sorry I made you feel hurt.

[Donathan]

Same question for all 3 of you -

There is going to be a dumber than a basic bitch award. Pick somebody from the jury you would give it to and tell us why. Steph kind of already ruined this with her pointless statement that Jeff asked to avoid doing, but I want to hear your answer anyway Seb

Shit Kellyn sorry this got lost for me there's a lot going on and I'm trying to keep up! I think that my nomination for the dumber than a basic bitch award would be....this might be controversial...but Mike? Mike was someone that I could just tell oozes skill at this game. He played such a huge part in making the premerge go down the way it did and I think that he got lost in playing this game too hard too fast. I think that if Mike were to play again he would be able to recognize his mistakes that led to him being ousted and because of the potential vs what happened in this game that's what makes me say damn........ that's a dumb bitch.

[Sebastian]

Sebastian, you claim to have played the social game pretty well but have made plenty of enemies on the jury. During the game what would've you have improved when talking to people when they knew they were going home or on the bottom?

100% Easy question- tell them they were going. I was so focused on my own personal safety that I wasn't focused on other people heading out. I wish I had told people their time was here but I think I got too caught up in "playing survivor" that I forgot a critical aspect of the human element.

Couldn't that be seen as an "asshole" move? People dont like being told "you're going" it makes them feel hopeless.

Honestly, I didn't miss the tribal because I could/ knew I'd be safe. I think just knowing I'd be safe still wouldn't be a valid reason to miss and phone it in. I'm not going to say "I missed a tribal and was still safe, look how awesome I am," because it's not really something to brag about.
Missing that night was a huge blight for me, and I cannot apologize to you guys for it enough!

I've come to the realization over the course of the jury questions on Thursday and today that I am in fact an asshole. I wish I had owned it more during the game. I think if people realized they were going because of an asshole and not backstabbed by a friend, then people would respect it more.

[Stephanie]

Donathan,

You were often times in the shadows during the game. What moves/decisions/events projected your game and makes you worthy of sole survivor?

So, correct me if Im wrong. You would rather be the respected asshole than the back stabbing bitch?
