Just a reminder to post your final speech/questions here ahead of time along with a prevote.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I really don't think there can be a bad outcome here, and that's something that I love to see at a Final Tribal. I am writing this in advance, so I apologize if some of this overlaps with things you've already addressed. But if you basically already answered my questions in your opening speech you don't gotta get into it again just for the sake of it, I'll read everything at some point before casting my vote anyway. I'm leaning in a certain direction but certainly not dead-set on my decision whatsoever.I'll keep this as short as I know how to, which is still pretty long so just scroll to your section if you want.
To me, you all have more pros than cons and did awesome, so with it being such a close call IMO, this could easily come down to your performances tonight... I enjoyed all three of you in the game so I really have to nitpick when voting.So, to everyone: List every single boot and how they each impacted your real life outside the game. I would like that in MLA format with citations and gifs where appropriate, the wordier the better. Kidding of course. One question for each of you coming up:
Hayden - What's up kid?! You did a great job in this game. I thought you were consistently well-positioned and were underestimated strategically, something I know having worked with you pretty closely for awhile at the merge. You're awesome and I may be somewhat biased towards you here, but I hold Heidi and Tammy's games in very high regard as well, so this is a hard choice. Don't hold back!
I have a 2-parter for ya: how did basically not having an original "pair" impact your game, and in your eyes, what are some important examples of you showing flexibility in the game and adapting to situations?
Heidi - It's no secret you were a force. We all know that. You built some of the closest social ties of anyone here (though not with everyone!
) and made a lot of people want to work with you to go very far in the game, at times including myself. I think you were the most consistently "open" of the F3 as much as you could be, and I'd say I have a pretty decent read on your game since the merge. BUT I need to get your take on something:I believe that at a couple key points, you have been helped out by circumstances outside of your control more so than your two opponents here. The obvious example to me would have to be the second swap, which from what I gather, pretty much allowed you to go from the outhouse to the penthouse. And then I felt that out of your H/T duo, you willingly served as the shield, and the vast majority of players (maybe with the exception of Ozzy?) would have probably been gunning for you first if they were looking to make a move on your duo. But that worked out well for you, because both you and Tammy made it here, and I loved your ballsy out-in-front approach.
My question: Am I wrong? Is it a fair assessment to say that you had inconsistent game positioning relative to Hayden or Tammy, and what ONE thing sets you definitively apart from the other two as the winner pick here?
Tammy -
So underrated all season. What a subtle goddess. But you know, it's interesting. I remember a little birdie who told me a very long time ago that sometimes just demonstrating the sheer WILL and desire to win, that KILLER INSTINCT, can really set a person apart as the most worthy... especially when the decision is otherwise too close to call. Which brings me to my question.In this game, outwardly you seemed to be overshadowed by Heidi and some, including myself, have wondered if making the final with Heidi was just as (if not more) important to you than winning the actual game, based on your pre-existing friendship with her. Clearly your unwillingness to betray one another in any situation is honorable and I would never have ever expected either of you to do so. But just how BADLY did you want to win this game yourself, and what are some instances in which you yourself had the killer instinct? What steps did you take to try to put yourself in the position to BEAT Heidi once you reached your ideal goal of making it here together, and flat out, why was your game better than hers?
