Patrick,

Here you can address the jury with your question or statement. You should keep it to one post that they can reply to. Try to include all of your questions/statement in this post and save any rebuttals or further questioning for the live council on Sunday.

Please do not ask the final three to go down any long lists, keep in mind that each question takes a very long time to properly answer and asking too much can be tedious.

The floor is now yours! Please post your questions/statements before Saturday at 8c/9e.

Hi

Christina I think you played an insanely good visible challenge threat game. You took that public idol and never looked back winning like 90% of all the immunity challenges. However as much as you were a threat in challenges you were like negative effect as a social and strategic player. If someone created you as a person in a game like skyrim its basically like they loaded up all your strength and agility statistics and spent none on charisma, social game, pragmatism etc. Just so sloppy all over and unless you cared about someone you ignored em like me :) Several times i tried to start a convo up with you only to get

omg
hi
yes we need to talk
vote kim
what why would you vote me ive legit done nothing lmao lol

it was like pulling teeth from my head trying to get any personality from you and enjoying messaging people is a big reason i play these games. but at the same time i know people you did put effort with DID enjoy talking to you so its clearly more of an effort thing which shows again how much more effort you put into challenges and idols and how little you put into social and strategic game. im not voting for you and you dont need to respond to this because i wont read it. lots of people have good reasons to vote for you but i have legit negative reasons to vote you good luck fam.

kim i liked lots about your game and i think you were a lot more savvy than people gave you credit during the game. and that says a lot because people DID give you big props for playing smart in game. you put in a lot of effort to chat with me and you understood where you stood with everyone in the game the majority of the time, something neither of the other final 3 can claim. you put in effort in challenges as well and you were always open for a chat about strategy. lots of people in the jury say the same which tells me you WERE putting in a lot of effort not just with people you liked which was obviously only me :) given how many opportunities you had to get voted out in the late part of the game especially since you had been identified as a threat way back at like f12 means you did a great job of social manipulation to get people to not think about you.

my question for u is at my vote were you always voting for me or did you change mid tribal? and what was your reason for voting for me, strategic or "wanting to fit in" whatever that means from sim1. also id like you to explain why i deserve to be on the cover of the sesaon DVD thank you so much God bless xoxx

Sim1 <3 Loved talking to you and playing with you in this game, was so much fun bitching with you despite knowing you were a little too loose with my secrets that i wanted, especially as the game kept going and going. i think you played perhaps the best game you could have given your time constraints and you really identifying where to spend your time. HOWEVER despite playing the best game you COULD I dont think that its the best game of the F3 (necessarily). I just feel like you and kim played similar and kim did more on top of that. which is not really your fault cos you were busy but its an unavoidable fact. might i reward your streamlined and well thought out game with a vote? maybe.

my question for you is what the fuck where you thinking at my vote? to "fit in" ? It was obvious ryan was voting with us as soon as matt and roark outed him thats why i said i wasnt voting him. we clearly had the numbers to vote out matt if you and kim stuck to it. i understand if you voted me out as a threat but if you were just scared then it looks kinda dumb tbh and a obvious misread. also tell me why i should be on the DVD cover God bless and i love u xox

Of course you being a threat also factored into it lmao. In my mind you were a way bigger threat than Kim because I always knew exactly everything Kim was up to or thinking. Don't get me wrong, I trusted you so much and I had a blast playing this game with you but by the F7 you just kept going from strength to strength and the momentum just continued to build. Sometimes I'd feel like your number one and then at times I'd be like BUT is he playing me? Because I knew you were charismatic with everyone and it wouldn't be hard for you to make a lot of different people think that they're your number one. Fit in might not be the best way to word it but I just remember having the gut feeling during that tribal that if I don't get rid of you now, I might never get the chance and it wasn't because I disliked you or didn't trust you any less because you never gave me a reason to not trust you but because going into the final rounds I don't think I ever would have gotten on the same level as you as I was with Kim and you would have just plowed to the end. It was a factor of things running through my head, you know when you make those split decisions? I was also thinking about the rep ructions of voting you as well. I was already thinking do I own up to it with Kim? Do I try and conceal my sneaky ways and convince everyone Ryan did flip? Then it was revealed Kim did it as well and I was like well, this is interesting. I felt like I def would get more heat from you about it than Kim because we just did that much more together.

I know you said Ryan was with us but after the previous vote and in the voting window with all our "Will Ryan stick with us tho?" just added to the doubt. I remember when you and Cole were convinced Ryan was completely with us and I told you two to just be careful and not be to overconfident about it because Ryan was known to weigh up options and then the F8 vote happened and I was like ugh. Kim was just as paranoid about it as I was but like I said, the last message we had was vote Matt soo voting with you was both our own decisions.

As for the DVD cover, I don't need to tell you why you should be on the DVD cover, you KNOW you will be on the DVD cover. You'll be centre middle and you'll most likely have Julie and Christina flipping you the bird in the background of your square and you'll just be embracing every moment of it.

This was a wild ride from the start. I don't know what I would have done without you and Cole on the original Bambarun. I remember everyone saying "I've spoke to Patrick" and I remember stressing out because you hadn't responded to me and then you showed up and we had the longest first conversation I think I've ever had and we just instantly hit it off and it continued from there on out. There was never a dull moment and it was just such a blast not only through your intense paranoia at times to the spam messages you'd send me when you were sure you were getting voted out and then coming back and being all "soz" lmao. It was just so much fun and you'll always be a big part of the memories of this game for me. The Bambarun three would have been an amazing way to finish out this game. I think you more than anyone know how hard I was playing and how much I was putting into this so I appreciate that you'd at least consider me. Thank you so much for everything and wether I get your vote or not, it was a pleasure.

Well well well Patty boi might I have saved the best for last icon_wink You deserve to be on the cover of the season DVD due to your looks alone icon_wub But really, you took the leadership role on original Bambarun and didn't look back. I remember being on original Natyaya and being like "that dude isn't gonna last long, he's already put a big target on his back." However, it wasn't until I came to the swapped Bambarun tribe and met you where I realized that although usually taking the leadership role is a death wish, you were able to make it work based on your likeability and comforting demeanor alone. You were able to be as public as Christina and Julie were yet somehow not have as big of a threat on yourself. You deserve to be on the cover because right from the getgo you were a big character who wasn't trying to hide their personality. A lot of big characters tend to play up their persona, but I firmly believe a lot of your outwardness and looniness was characteristic of who you really are. You were one of the few people I felt was 'real' 100% of the time and wasn't trying to play down your disposition. Bright personalities like yours only come around so often and I find them infinitely more entertaining than those who play it up for the cameras. So yes, you'll be on the cover right next to Julie and Otto saying g'day mates icon_bye

Let me start out by saying I had absolutely no solid idea who I was going to vote for that round going into tribal. My number one goal going into that tribal was to make it out in a better position than I was going into it considering I had nearly went home the tribal previously and I knew I had to do major damage control if I wanted any chance at getting to the end. Now I went into that tribal voting for Matt like Simone said, but I was totally undecided what I was actually going to do at tribal. It was very much a live tribal council for me. On one hand, I wanted to go to the end with you because I had made such a genuine connection with you and we had been loyal to each other for so long. However, on the other hand, I realized that if I voted you out, I would no longer be lumped into this power trio, Matt would be grateful to me for saving him, and Ryan would feel a lot more secure going forward since he wouldn't have to worry about me being closer to you than I was to him. Ultimately, it came down to what move would allow me to get myself to the end of the game and would let me have a legitimate case for why I made it there.

In my opening statement, I talked about how one of my main things coming into this game was to have options. If I voted you out, I would ensure that I had more options moving forward where I could work with people outside of our power trio and be seen as an individual player rather than just playing someone else's game. However, because I did value the loyalty we had built with each other, I put out there that I would vote Ryan out (since I saw that Matt would as well). For one, it would allow me to continue to be loyal to you and be able to move forward with you while at the same time gaining Matt's trust for saving him. Secondly, it would allow me to have put a move on my resume of which I would have been a main instigator behind thus building up my game for the jury. And lastly, because I knew that Ryan was a lot closer to you than he was to me at the time, I wanted to test your loyalty and see if you were willing to vote out Ryan with me to save your own butt. Unfortunately, the point when you said that you were not voting out Ryan was the point where I felt your bond with Ryan was clouding your judgment and was becoming stronger than my bond with you was. It was the hardest vote out I made in this game, but I do not regret making it. If I had voted Matt out that round, I do not believe I would be sitting here right now. It was hands-down one of the most vital moves of my game.
