Alright, well, I wanted to give Marnie and Jenny time but it looks like they may have already decided since they haven't been on in more than 24 hours soooo...
One last time I'd like to thank Ghostface for putting on a fantastic game and I'd like to thank you jurors for being cooler than I expected.
I'll take this time to say, ok, yes, I'm nice and Jill has a point, I voted you guys out with her. For all the boasting about Jill calling the shots, she wasn't the deciding factor in the alliance sticking together. We could have disbanded at any time and gone our separate ways and the final three wouldn't look like this at all, but we didn't.
While Jill would tell us how to vote in a dozen mass PM's, I went to each person that I trusted individually and asked their opinion on how they wanted the voting to go down and for a good while, we agreed that Jill's suggestion would get us further. Up until a certain point (when Casey was no longer a target above Kate and Jenny, Ross and Anthony (who were not part of the trashy girls) were getting information that they were being targeted (by trashy girls) and insecurity set in that we weren't going to make it to the end with Jill making every decision) I was pretty content to go with the flow.
Let's face it, Jill was a good shield. She may have been more openly strategic and that's why she was targeted AND stayed. If she had been more sneaky in her moves and more unpredictable than she was, I don't think the same could be said. I trusted her because I knew she wasn't going to do anything fishy when she was concentrating all of her energy into "keeping us all together".
You all were just as aware of where I stood but chose not to target me. Why? Because you liked me? I doubt it. I think it has more to do with the fact that I didn't make myself into a huge, overbearing immediate threat. Putting yourself in a position that makes you just visible enough to get you by is surviving just as much, if not more, as making yourself the focal point of everyone's mind and having to battle against barriers that you created every round because of it.
In the end, this is about winning. Voting for me would not be voting emotionally or out of revenge. You are voting for who YOU believe deserves to win. That is your opinion and in my opinion, I played a much different game than Jill did, but it was still just as good, if not better than how she played.
Good luck with your decision. Whatever it is, you'll know it's the right one for you based on how you see things and that's what matters and I'll respect your choice, however it goes.
