Closing Statement and Reactions

[taylorg8]

So I am out, and I am okay with it. I definitely said some things in the moment that I don't really mean. Like I will never hold a grudge in real life or in these games. I am just not capable of it even if I try! Amanda can absolutely still get my vote at the end if she played well. Casey.. or excuse me Cody... tried to scold me right after I posted the eviction plea! I was so annoyed. Like go away, I'm not bitter. I said I'd go out having fun and that's exactly what I did! I went crazy! And someone telling me not to be bitter makes me wanna barf. It was two seconds after I was blindsided by my ally!!! Of course I was upset. She avoided explaining things to me forever and then did that. I knew she was the traitor and the reason i was on the block last week even though her vote would have saved me! But anyway, all this talk about bitter juries is stupid. There really isn't such a thing as a bitter jury. You make the jury bitter through your actions and therefore you don't deserve to win and don't get the votes. Maybe some people will be mad at Jake for his cockiness, but if he gets to the end... I'm just going to laugh in his alliance's face and vote for him. His alliance are the people I would hate. People are literally helping him. What a sad season. He has his friends apply and they control the vote because of what the twist is and some people(Isaac) just blindly follow!!! Ohh welll. I mean I played it safe at first and should have made a move earlier. I tried to but just didnt have the time. 

I came into the season just not carinf about it too much and not fully into it. That's where I went wrong. I am currently in another ORG, and I was too focused on that. I am in the final 7 of that right now. But by the time I became invested in this one too, it was too late. I still think Amanda may have made the wrong decision, but oh well. I'm also really disgusted with Cody just like I was when he was "casey". I hate how people hid their identities coming into this game. Have some balllsssss!!! Although, I am a very UTR player. I'm happy Jacob won HOH, but let's be honest... he has no chance at this point unless Jake revealing the final 6 alliance scares people into doing something. I am laughing at Isaac right now! As well as the other stupid people! Like... that's what you get I guess hahahah 

But yeah... if you wouldn't mind, could I write here and give my opinions of the season as it goes on? Because I feel like I'll have a lot of opinions I need to get out! If you hosts are okay with that.

Taylor, I would love it if you continued to stick around and give us your opinion on how things are going in the game. I love to hear other people's sides of the story, and from the looks of things these should be a fun couple of weeks.

[joepetz]

I prefer it actually.

Also as Juror #1, it definitely helps to make statements.

Okay, so this whole argument about bitter juries is hard to watch and not post anything. I truly don't believe in "bitter juries" that make the "wrong" decision. It's part of the game, and if they don't vote for you... that's because you made them not vote for you. Russel for example was too cocky and arrogant and he pissed off a majority of the jury, therefore he deserved to lose. Aubry didn't have the social connections that Michele had, and it's a social game, therefore she lost. She also was seen as too wishy washy and other things I believe. We just weren't shown it much through the edit. Jake lost the last two seasons because he was cocky and arrogant and made everybody hate him. If he wasn't so rude to everyone then he may have won. I warned him before I left to not blow up and be too cocky bc that screwed him last time. He was doing pretty well honestly. But now he is just at the point where he is turning back into same old Jake, and it's honestly offputting, but I would still vote for him over anyone other than Jacob at this point because I think everyone else is ridicukously stupid to think going to final 7 with a 7-person alliance is a good idea. It's obvious it won't work out for most of them, but they don't care. They are fine with Jake winning it seems. I'm surprised by Amanda honestly. I thought she was smarter. I hope she is. I mean going all the way with your alliance is always bad of course. But it has been stated she is number 7, so she should consider other options maybe.

The way I see it right now, Cody and Jake are making me not want to vote for them more and more. And it does have to do with this bitter jury argument because if you can't understand how that's part of the game and that YOU make the jury that way by doing things like they're doing right now, then you don't understand the game. It's a social game first and the rest second. If you don't have people that respect you on the jury, you lose. Plain and simple. I will probably still vote for Jake at the end because I think he's doig well annd people are stupid if they let him get far, but Cody most likely won't have my vote unless this is all an act and he does some awesome things at the end. I'm kind of finding myself hoping Jake makes it throught htis week because I want to be able to say I told you so to people. This is one of the interesting things about the jury and why certain people are so dangerous. It makes me think of a Boston Rob situation. But it really makes me think of Stephen Fishbach talking about his experience on the jury and how he realized we all naturally root for the underdog as humans, so if that person can get to the end and just say they did SOMETHING, they will win. He said they were like this with Kimmi, Keith, and even Kelley in Cambodia. It's kind of like the Michele situation.

There's another fight that involves bitter juries! Cody said "this is proof bitter juries are a thing"... It annoyed me... i was like no, this is proof dumb players like you guys create "bitter juries". You can't be cocky, rude, and aggressive to everyone or you won't get the votes at th end. The point of the game is to get the votes at the end! I can't take these people sometimes. hahaha With that being said... I would still vote for Jake as of right now.

[joepetz]

I always say that juries can't be bitter unless you turned them that way.

Thoughts= annoyed. What a gross group haha. But good for them.
