Aug 04, 2006 15:50

Statements and questions from the jurors will be posted every few hours throughout the day. Finalists should reply to each juror's post with a response. Rich and Tom have 24 hours to respond to each juror. Please abide by the time restrictions.


Some of you may think that my vote is clear cut; that I’m going to hold a grudge against Rich and immediately vote for Tom. But, the truth of the matter is I couldn’t be anymore puzzled than I already am.

There’s many factor’s that come into play when you vote for someone to win. Did they play a good game? Did they work hard or they coast all the way to the end? The list goes on. Truth be told, this is a really challenging vote for me. I will ask you my questions once I say my peace on how I feel at this moment. The questions will be your chance to get my vote.

Let’s start things off with Tom. Tom, I think through the comments you’ll give to the answers of my questions will be the FIRST time you have ever uttered one syllable to me throughout this entire game. Yes, there’s going to be that one person you don’t really get to know, but from talking with other’s you were scarce with speaking to them as well. So, why is it if you knew you’d be in the spot you are now, that you wouldn’t even make an attempt to simply have small talk with me? That’s my first question; please answer that with the one’s I provide below.

Continuing on, I also find it foolish that you never found yourself in any sort of control… even your alliance. You, Jimmy, the rat Rich, and here when he wants to be Dane were in control once my ass was sent packing. I find it highly laughable that you’d “hold your breath” when you sure as hell knew what was going on. Please, don’t try to pull that crap with me. You say you acted alone on votes, but then “took one for the team” by helping Jimmy and Rich win immunities. Hmm. Well, at least I know Rich didn’t win them on his own. Then, there’s the reason you voted me off. You called me a baby? What’s that for? Was it all in jest, or what?

Moving on to Rich, I’m sure you probably think I’m going to bitch you out. But, I’m not. I got that out of my system when you voted me off. However, reading your opening statements just added more salt to the womb. You are a lying son of a bitch.
“Some of you stopped talking to me and I felt like I was lost in the game because no one was informing me anything but Maya, Jeremy, Tom, Jimmy and Dane.” If I don’t recall, you IMed me asking what was going on. I told you, I didn’t know. This was the god honest truth. Jeremy, the so-called ring leader, was supposed to make a decision but wasn’t saying anything. What am I supposed to tell you? I told you were safe, but yet you conspired behind my back to vote me out. And, really, communication is a two way street, buddy. I IMed you several times with no replies. Rarely were you ever online when I was and when you were I told you what I knew.

Did I take you for granted? Kind of. I thought you’d be voting with us. But, to be honest, I wasn’t going to sell your ass up the river at the proposed Final 6 we had planned out. I was going to, and was actually, planning with Maya to save you. Jeremy wanted you and Dane gone, leaving Nomi/myself/Maya/Jeremy in the F4. Obviously, none of that happened because of your sneaky moves. But, I have to give props to you; you made it to the F2.

To say you were ignored is ridiculous. From what I heard, everyone was telling you what was going on. And with that, you made your move to secure your spot in the game. Don’t play victim and say your former alliance backed out on you, you backed out on it. You betrayed us. You lied.

Tom:
1. What role did you play in voting me out? Did you simply go along with the herd? And, why do you think it was necessary to do so? Explain in great detail, please.
2. What do you think was the greatest move you made in the game? The worst?
3. (Your question from above) why is it if you knew you’d be in the spot you are now, that you wouldn’t even make an attempt to simply have small talk with me?

Rich:
1. I know you played a big role in voting me out, so I want the whole story in great detail how you campaigned to get me out.
2. If you were still in the F2, what person would you NOT want to be there with?
3. After knowing what you know now, that I wouldn’t have voted you out and wanted you to go far, would you have not campaigned for me to go?
