[Jeff Probst]

Julie,

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.

Hey losers! Congrats on making it further than the rest of us.


Since I was brutally honest and called everyone out in almost every tribal, I want you all to call each other out and tell me all of the shitty moves the other two finalist did.

And I will add that I am COMPLETELY undecided so make it count.

~*Christina’s Response to Julie*~



Since I was brutally honest and called everyone out in almost every tribal, I want you all to call each other out and tell me all of the shitty moves the other two finalist did.

*Simone wanting to be voted out at the Final 4, instead of owning her own game and respecting herself in this game to vote for Kim to leave. 3-1 vote, get yourself to the end and fight for the win.

*Kim’s ability to just drop people, like me, after Ali’s elimination and then work with a group of people that made her fade into the background if it worked long-term.

*Simone’s ability to rely on the fact that she must work and cannot show up to the live events but not clearly stating what she was doing prior. Leaving some of us (like final 6) in the dark of WTF was going on and leading to her almost leaving the game that round/or for it to go into another tie breaker.

*Kim relied solely on this alliance that she had with Simone to being pegged for individual threatness later in the game that would have sent her home if the Final 4 was purely based on Stranded’s rules.

My biggest dislike in Kim’s game is her inability to play the middle game that I usually love to see. I wanted to play the middle game when I started this journey in the merge. I wanted to work with Kim, Leif, Ali, Matt and try to own the middle and vote out both “sides.” I thought she wanted to do the same thing but realized after the Ali vote that she did not want to work with Roark/Matt/Myself/Ali. She wanted to work with the other original tribe. I don’t understand this logic of making her shine as a player individually. I see it as smart to make top 6/top 5 but she would have been able to play an individual middle game so much better. She would have had so much more control of the middle merge due to the amount of people that wanted to work with her, and the amount of people that trusted her individually.

My biggest dislike in Simone’s game is her not wanting to win after her main allies left the game. After Cole/Patrick left, she crumbled. I stated this in Chrissy’s thread as well, but she lost her fight. She didn’t respect her own game at all and told me many times that she had no chance to win this game. Instead of fighting for her chance to stay and prove herself…She gave up. Gave up at a new level too, when at final four she asked to be voted out. I wish she would have adapted to the fact that her main allies were gone and played this game strong for herself. Win on the merit of what you did with those players and what you did after those players. Don’t end your game just because it didn’t go your way.

Who entered merge, and everything went perfectly? Nobody. I took a note from the Julie book of calling people out. Showing everyone who was majority, and who wasn’t. Forcing people to see things and make moves. I fucked up the game that these girls wanted to play with their core alliance. I never understood why Kim was involved with it in the first place—when she had so much more control over others’ in the game. I don’t understand why Simone gave up after her core left the game—fight girl, Stranded is not about giving up.

Thank you for this question and best of luck on your decision tonight.

Simone -

*Using work as an excuse for everytime you were absent. It's totally understandable we all have out-of-game obligations (I understand that a lot), but if you knew signing up for the game that you'd be working during MANY crucial game times, why'd you sign up?

*Telling Christina about Ryan's extra vote before he used it. If Christina wasn't too full of herself to think that someone else had an advantage other than her, then that coulda backfired a lot.

*Honestly, not voting me out at the Final Four. Now obviously I love you for not and you're actually an amazing person for staying loyal to me, but I even thought you were going to (in my confessional) since the jury definitely perceives our games as super similar and it's harder to differentiate them.

*Telling me that Patrick told you that I had an idol. This event made me flame up a lot and I almost went full Julie on Patrick. It probably would have been smarter to just keep it under wraps as private information.

That was the hard part since Simone's a boss ass bitch who doesn't deserve any shit from y'all (AND CAN I JUST SAY, in Simone's defense, she was NOT quitting at the final four. She was trying to get Christina and Ryan to split their votes. Christina was too high and mighty to realize it, but Ryan understood). Now comes the easy part:

Christina -

*Grabbing the public immunity idol day one. Girl you dumb. I warned you before you grabbed it that whoever grabbed it would have a target no matter what going forward and I warned you because I liked you yet what did you do? You still grabbed it. You're lucky we never went to tribal on original natyaya because it would have been flushed down the toilet faster than the bullshit that comes out of your mouth.

*Girl you talk about how it was so difficult getting stuck on Atitaya with a bunch of inactives and people you didn't know. Well girl I got stuck on a tribe with two 'borderline' inactives and three 'extremely active' Bambarun yet I made it out alive. You didn't even have to vote cause Tarzan just got removed. Must have been such a difficult life.

*Calling Matt a loser. Now if this was Old Matt I would agree; however, talking to people about how one of your number one allies is a loser is not how you're gonna get me or anyone else to flip to your side.

*Winning the first three immunity challenges in a row. You talk about how you're a veteran who's played ORGs before yet you don't realize that big immunity threats are the first people targeted at the merge? How does that make sense?

*Whining about how no one would talk game with you when after the Ali vote you really just showed up at tribals and challenges. Don't get me wrong, I understand being frustrated and I love an underdog too, but Simone, Ryan, and myself were all on the bottom at some point and we all managed to get out of the bottom not by winning challenges/idols but by making connections and leveraging our games. Congrats to you for making yourself this big threat that made it to the end, but you put yourself in that position after the Ali vote by freaking out on everyone. You put the threat status on yourself; no one else did that. Why reward someone who publically fucked up their game when you can vote for someone who made it to the end a lot easier yet still made moves? (aka Simone, Ryan, or myself).

*Not telling anyone that you were playing your idol on Simone. We pulled a classic 3-2-1 vote that round against you and yet you still played an idol on Simone since she was the one of us getting votes. If that doesn't speak to your social game I don't know what does. You were simply out of the loop because you tried to do rash things that would give you all the credit, but sometimes you need to realize you have to dial it back and talk things out with people instead of just doing them or saying do this do that. People are generally more receptive to communication rather than full out action.

*Lastly, calling me out about the Final 4 vote. I would just like to clarify this with everyone SINCE EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE USING IT AGAINST ME. I personally talked with Jeff TWICE way before the final immunity challenge because unlike Cole, I DID read the rules. Jeff specifically told me that there would be an exception since it was the FINAL challenge and then he told me that I could do it earlier and he'd just record my time and compare it to everyone else's when they did it. However, not throwing shade at your husband Julie, but he never showed up to let me do the challenge early and so I didn't even get to participate even though I had read the rules and communicated to the host beforehand. So @the jury, I apologize that I had a real life obligation that prevented me from participating in the challenge/tribal even though I SPECIFICALLY was told exceptions can be made. At that point, you can not blame me since I clearly did not misinterpret any rules so if you vote for someone other than me ON THIS BASIS, that's pretty shitty considering I did everything in my power to rectify it. Also, IT IS NOT MY FAULT that Ryan messed up a number in the tiebreaker challenge. It was clearly stated that if you mess up, you're done unless you catch it and rectify it. Sure he counted higher than me, but it's not my fault he wasn't thorough enough to catch his error whereas I was. Counting that high is amazing I'll admit, but he lost fair and square.

[Simone]

lol will I finally get my chance to shine and drag some bitches in a public setting?

I think so...

Ok, so THIS bitch Christina wants to say I left everyone in the dark at F6. Girl, I had the plan down to vote Roark out 10 minutes after the previous tribal council. I didn't need to tell you shit or what I was doing because I had the votes I needed and I wasn't going and it wasn't tying. You're the one who didn't tell ME you were getting votes on me so you could play that broke down idol on me in order to "save" me and vote out Matt and come off like you're Mother Teresa. Your original plan was to play it on Kim and you still didn't follow through with that. You tried it and you still got SIMOWNED.

Kimberly wanting to give into Christina's F3 deal and ride out the last few votes with her just because Christina was likely to win immunity. Girl, I thought you were PLAYING THE GAME?! You just don't stop because something seems impossible. As much as she calls Christina out she was willing to just give in and follow her lead to the end just based on the chance she'll win every immunity and we can't get rid of her. She was too lazy to get off her A think think of plan B.

Christina completely alienating everyone by single handedly dragging them at tribal council after tribal council. I don't know if she forgot English or if LOL just took over her vocab but she sure had a lot to say at those councils and was completely mute for a long while in-between them. If you're gonna drag people at least have the chops to explain yourself after and try and gain their trust back.

Christina not putting muzzles on her alliance and completely trusting the wrong people. When we swapped into the second tribe Ali immediately told me that Christina doesn't like Matt and that she'd be willing to let him go if we had to vote. That's something that followed her for the rest of the game like flies to shit because everyone knew thanks to her loose lipped alliance.

Kim underestimating how close I was with Cole/Patrick. Girl, you shouldn't have wiped your ass with your original tribe members so quickly if you wanted to have options and make moves in this game. If she really wanted to secure me like a ball and chain, she would have sniffed out that I was in deep with them and she would have made a move against them to make sure that I had to rely on her and only her moving forward.

Kim giving up her 3 vs 3 on the first swap tribe. It put her in an extremely shaky position giving us the majority because she for sure was heavily considered to go next. She got extremely lucky we didn't go back to tribal because a move was being put in place to vote her out. She was really easily convinced to just shed them and trust three people who as she said were extremely active and had obviously already gravitated towards each other on their original tribe.

Kim stealing my personalty -

Christina thinking her life was so hard in this game and trying to create a sob story for herself. We all know Christina is incapable of emotion. Girl, you could have invited Oprah AND Dr. Phil and no one would buy that story.
