Lexie's Final Tribal Council Shiot

[Sam]

:


Dum Dum Dum!

Well Matt and Jen...here we are! I know you two have seen about 10 of these by now, so sorry! Even though everyone else has already said it, I just have to say Congratulations first and foremost. So impressive that you guys managed to make it to the end out of so many equally impressive players. In a (huge) All-Star game with so many other huge personalities and great strategists, you two made it to the end and are both totally deserving of being in the final two.

However, now its the jury's turn. You're both deserving of being here...but we need to decide who is more deserving to win.

To start off with, I'll address both of you. I never had an alliance with either of you. I guess me and Matt had a certain understanding to help each other out, but he had one with everyone so I don't think that really counts. Therefore, I'm not going to sit here and bitch and moan about how I was booted, how I want to be friends, blah blah cry me a river. So just be honest. Now more than ever is the time for that. I know I'll be basing my vote on that, and I think many other jurors will as well.

Soo... for the both of you. First off, straight up, why should I, Lexie, give you my vote. Forget everyone else. I want to be selfish and know why I should give you my vote. And hey, if you want to go the extra mile, let me know why I should not vote for your opponent.

Now, to get specific!

Jen - I'm a bit rusty at these games, Andes was years ago whereas every other game was far more recent, so stop me if I'm wrong in any of these assumptions, but I've had a few criteria in voting for a winner in the past. 1.) Who played the best strategic game. 2.) Who I had the better bond with. 3.) Who wasn't afraid to take chances.

Can you explain to me what your strategy was both before and after Lew was voted out, and also, what one move besides voting Tyler out are you most proud of? And last but not least, why didn't you make any effort in getting to know me? Obviously thats a two-way street, but did you just think I was someone who was inevitably going to go and it wasn't worth your time?

Matt - I really don't know what to ask you to be honest. Maybe why exactly you and Tyler voted for me instead of trying to force a tie with me for the other Matt. I guess it doesn't really matter since you made the final two anyways, but I just thought it didn't make too much sense.

Also, as a side question...some people might be feeling like you've gotten a little arrogant in the question answering lately. How would you react to that? I think you played a great game, and I think you're an awesome guy who I really liked (Guster soon? ), but I just hope you're answering these questions honestly. I think everyone's vote is still very up in the air.

Finally, good luck to both of you! Its been such an insane game and you should be so proud of yourselves. It was both an honor and incredibly fun to play this game with you.

[Matt O.]

Hrmm... Why should you vote for me? Well, a day never went by when I didn't think about the game. I was always running different scenarios through my head on how to make it to this spot. I probably didn't take the best route, but it did get me here. Like you said, we got to know each other pretty good, and Jen never took the time to get to know you. Like Jen in her opening statement, she didn't have a strategy before the merge, and at that point, it became one of revenge, and she didn't even do that.

As for the F6 vote, that was a weird vote. The way it went down was as follows. Immediately following the IC, I made a chat for myself, Tyler, Jen and Stacy to talk about the vote. I thought for sure it was going to be Matt D, as Stacy made me promise he would go at the F7, but he won Immunity via the Secret.

Anyways, once I made the chat, and asked who the vote should be for, Stacy immediately said you, and Jen seconded it. I didn't really think much of it at the time, but a few hours later I started talking to Tyler on the phone about how Stacy changed her mind on voting for Matt D so quickly. I thought it was very suspicious, but besides that, I had no reason to doubt her at all. Both of us had been on the same level for every TC till then, except the Ryan one, and that was based on a misunderstanding (Ryan trying to say he voted for Tori, and that Matt D didn't).

Anyways, I thought it over the next day, and couldn't come up with anything to doubt Stacy, let alone Jen. Jen hadn't strayed from us on any vote till that point. I knew you would vote for Matt D at the TC, and I knew me and Tyler could tie it, but I didn't want to risk that. Had we went for the tie, and lost, we would've been in the situation we ended up in anyways. If we did tie, and won, then Stacy and Jen would've been majorly mad. Besides I highly doubt Tyler would've went against Jen, since she was his F2.

In hindsight we should've forced the tie, but there was no warning of what was going to happen.

As for me being arrogent... I'm kind of surprised. Looking back over my answers, I can see where I may come off a little cocky. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say I don't think I deserve to win, because I do. I think I played a better game than Jen, I might not have played the "best" game out of everyone, or the nicest game. part of my personality, is a little cockiness. It's a vice I'm working on fixing, because it's a very unattractive quality. I'm not trying to be an arrogant, pompous ass though. If I came off that way, well it wasn't my intention, and yes, I am answering these questions honestly. Maybe a little to honestly if I'm coming off the way you say I am in some peoples eyes, but I'm not going to stop. There's no more reason to lie to anyone.

[Jen]

I think I played a game that was just bordering on UTR. I tried not to lie as I have in the past to players. and I think I played a lot nicer game than Matt o. yes I followed them but it got me as far as I needed to go.

Can you explain to me what your strategy was both before and after Lew was voted out, and also, what one move besides voting Tyler out are you most proud of? And last but not least, why didn't you make any effort in getting to know me? Obviously thats a two-way street, but did you just think I was someone who was inevitably going to go and it wasn't worth your time?

My strategy was to stay as low as possible. To befriend whoever I could. Before Lew was voted out I went along with what ever Matt O and Tyler said. Like I said before as long as it was not me I was fine with the vote. The move I am most proud of is getting to know Matt D. I think one reason I didn't get to know you Lexie is because we didn't have the same schedule. And as I said in the Jamie's question. I'm a very shy person when I don't know some one. But ask Matt D. once I get to know some one you can't shut me up. Another good person to ask that to is Lew.
