I'm eating my ham steak in silence now. In memory of the players we lost on the way to the final three.
Low-key would be fun going thru rereading/rewatching my confessionals all the way back from Crete till now. In fact I might do that.
your videos are like 40 minutes each, I'm pretty sure one of them is longer than the lord of the rings trilogy.

Also did any of you guys do video confessionals? I think I asked some of you, but it worked a lot better for me than confessionals over writing, although that was my main form of confessionals. Just flowed better for me and I could get more of my ideas out at once.

I think my longest one was at final 16 when we had that question about ranking all of the 15 other players left in a trust ranking and I kept going off on tangents, it took like 40 minutes. In fact maybe it was my merge one that was the longest.

yeah my merge one was closer to 50 minutes cause I barely did any confessionals the day of the Bradley boot because I was so busy fighting and scrapping to make sure that Bradley went home over me. So I did like a 50 minute one to catch up on everything.

I honestly lost even more respect for Shirin.  Looks like her and Wendell had a F3 deal for awhile and she planned on honoring it.

Wendell hit it out of the park with his opening statement.  I’m not telling anyone how to vote but this should be pretty unanimous here.

I am not vibing with Bret's speech. Dunno whether he deliberately excluded him gunning for me on our og tribe and the impact that actually had not only on our relationship but his relationships with other people on that tribe.

And then to claim that he 'turned people against each other' is quite nonsensical, to be honest. His lack of game awareness is coming through in his speech, for me.

I agree.  Even when he voted out Rachel he made the lamest excuse  instead of just owning it and saying it was best for his game.  Wendell and Shirin were tight from early merge, something I wasn’t aware of and explains her stubbornness.  Not excusing her though, if she voted Wendell out instead of Jacob, she might be sitting next to Jacob and Bret now, and might have had some shot.

Bret saying he played dishonest isn’t even a point to his game considering a lot of his lies were unnecessary.

I can't even... Okay so I'm actually reading it and I was waiting for him to spill tea on you and him on the OG tribe? I wonder if it was deliberate lol. He has no game awareness at all, like he said being labeled as a goat helped him, and he was waiting for his perfect moment to strike blah blah, and used his idol at the perfect time?!?!? Bro it was the last night you could play it... Just... Idk bruh.

She did better than expected tbh. But ok if anything this says a lot about how good Wendell's social game is that she kept wanting to go to FTC with no matter what.

And I'll comment on this..looking back at my Crete confessionals, he was 7th on my trust rankings even though he was in the core alliance of 6, and he only wasn't last because..Paul. This was even before he started gunning for me. So yeah I guess he didn't read that? And yeah the whole perfect time to strike thing...annoyed me so much. Like, ughhhh.

I actually think Shirin did pretty well in her speech. But she showed a lot about how things other people were doing around her benefitted her game, although there were some unexpected moments of individual agency which I appreciated.

The only thing that surprised me about Wendell's opening statement was that he sent you (Jay) the idol. That was interesting for some reason I thought you just found that and played it on Stephanie.
