Congrats to Amber, Jenna, and Ozzy for making it to the final three. Obviously it was a hard-fought battle to get here and it seems to me that there has been a powerful alliance all this time that helped propel you guys all the way here. I don't know who the alliance entirely consisted of nor do I care too much, point is you guys worked your asses off to make your way to this point and I'm mostly happy with the outcome.
In terms of how I'll approach this important vote... I'm looking for three things. Strategic Game, Social Game, and Approach to Challenges. Who balanced the three the best or was so superior in one of the trio that he or she feels it should overshadow everything else? That's how I am voting; not by friendships made, not by bitterness towards people who voted me off; just a clean, fair, logically sound vote.
====================
Amber:
I can't really say that I know you all that well. You made no real attempt to socialize with me and I'm guessing that any bit of your social game was restricted to your alliance thus why we never really spoke. It's disappointing because out of the three finalists, I feel your social game was the weakest at least from my angle. In terms of challenges... you never won a single individual challenge nor did you receive immunity from the people who did win it. I counted, only four people out of everyone in the merge ever had that honor and absolute feeling of safety.
This is where my questions come into play for you. First: What do you feel was the biggest strategic move for you in the game? Essentially I want to know what makes you just as good as Ozzy and Jenna because the way I see it; I'm looking at a Russell, Parvati, Sandra final and you're the Sandra! You didn't really do much /upfront/ that made me feel 'Wow, she's a real bad-ass. I hope she wins!' No offense meant.
Last question I would like you to answer is: Give me at least one good reason for both Ozzy and Jenna as to why they should NOT win this game.
Don't think you will not get my vote because depending on how you answer my questions along with everyone else's, if it makes enough sense and I like what I see, I might consider voting for you. Who knows.
Thanks!
====================
Ozzy:
My man! You had doubts about getting here last time I talked with ya but lookie here... you made it. Honestly though I 'wish' I could be more impressed with your performance... not saying that I'm not, but there's some noticeable flaws about your game that makes me a bit unsure. I know that you know what I am talking about and hopefully you're at some level of understanding with me here.
You were immune for every, single, damn, tribal. At least the ones during the merge aka Final 14. It was either you winning those challenges or someone else blessing you with immunity but either way you never felt the stress and anxiety the rest of us did whenever we were not immune. It's a given you played a superior challenge game and I will openly admit that your social game wasn't half bad either. You at least talked to me whenever possible and probably a bunch of other people too. It's your strategy that makes me unsure... in terms of my Heroes vs Villains comparison up above you're the Parvati... sorry you have to be the woman for this explanation.
Strong? Yes. Ringleader? Sadly no, otherwise this would be a no-contest vote for me. Essentially like what the jury of HvV felt, I feel you clung onto the big alliance way too much and relied on them much too often. That and your immunity wins. You played an extremely safe game and I don't feel like you showcased any strategies of your own, only followed the plan being mapped out in front of ya. Now I can't read your alliance's minds so I may be wrong about my assumption (and if I am, sorry) but again, this is coming from my perspective. So here are my questions for you:
What was YOUR biggest strategic move?
and...
Do you feel you could have made it here without all those immunity wins or earnings?
I also want it to be clear to you that you're also at the fore-front of receiving my vote along with Jenna at the moment. Please do whatever it takes to convince me and don't feel like I hate you because on the contrary you're very enjoyable to talk to.
Thanks! <3 you no matter what.
====================
Jenna:
I have to say... with all the attempts I made in trying to get you out, with every attempted charge that ended in failure, you're the biggest surprise to me this game. Let's be honest here Jen... it's obvious you made enemies in this game as well as friends. You're very vocal about the way you feel about your own game and the game of others. Some even say you're a bitch... out of respect for them I won't say names...
... but the fact is I am extremely pleased to see you here. Want to know why? Because you put yourself out there and fought like a warrior princess. I mean you may not have won as many challenges as Ozzy. You may have put yourself in a more dangerous situation as opposed to Amber. Everything about your game I honestly do like despite the fact you're probably the one to blame for my being voted off along with several others. This is exactly why I said earlier though that any bitterness or stuff like that won't affect my vote. I have hopes for you and the way you answer my questions will be important in getting my vote because you're at the fore-front in terms of receiving mine along with Ozzy I'll be honest with you.
First question: If I had not blindsided Boston Rob (which you have to admit was brilliantly orchestrated on my part haha) how do you feel the dynamics of the game would have changed? Where was I on the totem pole basically before I booted Rob because I want to know if that was the game KILLER for me or I was destined to be voted off no matter what.
Next: Just like what I asked the other two... what's the biggest strategic move that you made in this game that you feel was super important in getting you here?
Lastly: Wanna make out? *smacked by Probst* Joking! Joking! The real last question is this; How did Ozzy and Amber help... or hinder... your game? What were they to you truly in this game?
Thanks a lot hon, and good luck to everyone!
PS: Yes Jenna, in terms of my HvV Reference I am relating you to Russell and his game... you're fifty times more hotter than him obviously.
