Day 28 - Final Tribal Council

[Jeff Probst]

Okay thank you Semhar.

Last, but certainly not least. Coby, close us out!

[Coby]

Hello Final 2, Hosts, Jury and everyone in attendance:
I've always did blogs during past seasons up to Becky's Madagascar but I stopped. Until now. So, I have a special surprise, my speech is in audio form!
Coby's Final Tribal Speech
Also at least listen to the speech. It provides a lot of important context to the questions.

Just to clarify, the questions are as follows:

Cochran: I want you to write a short "slash fanfic" romantic/sex scene between any two or more people on the jury to show you care. I'll even give you the title: "Portugulp".

Ibrehem: Was I ever important to you at any point in the game? I just feel like you really only talked to people that you felt were important to you and no one else.

If you want to address what I've said in speech and combat that, feel free to do so. It'll only help you. My vote is truly up in the air tonight and how you fare during this tribal council and whether or not you will be able to accurately articulate your game and why you should win will determine who I ultimately end up voting for. Best of luck to both of you.

[Cochran]

Does it actually have to be romantic?

And does it have to involve people on the jury or can it involve anyone from the game?

As for what you said in video. You're right. I got really caught up in trying to beat the little bitch that played last game. Because thats honestly what I was, a little bitch. I did whatever papa bear and sophie said in namibia untill I got voted out and I worked so hard this time to try and not do that. I just felt like vytas was papa bear, because I had to equate him to someone.

I made an awful decision voting off vytas, and like I said for ralphs question I saw Ibe as a coat tail rider. Not because of anything he said, but because thats all I saw him do.

No, you can make it raunchy if you're feeling that more. Your choice. Make a decision. And just jury members please.

.

Just had an idea and I wanted to see if it was cool to roll with it.

Fuck ok, I'll attempt something and then I'll get back to you.

Best of luck to both of you.

The first thing I disagree with, Coby is how in your speech you lump me in with Cochran, saying that I played shitty as well. I think your perception of me is totally wrong. You say the "titans" in this game like yourself, Becky, Ralph, Marissa, Semhar, Vytas were all too busy taking each other out to pay attention to me -- to want to take me out, but... my objective this entire merge was to set that up and make that happen. Why do you think I kept Vytas in over Peter? Or Semhar in over Laura? And that plays into me tossing away my idol and talisman, to make me less urgent to take out. That all plays into each other and I think I played the merge way better than you're giving me credit for. And once the bigger players were exhausted, I used Vytas and Cochran's votes to take the last ones out, including Vytas himself. I was like Godzilla, a titan hiding under the water.

I said this earlier like twice, but I had spoken to others (Vytas, Semhar) about voting Marissa at least two rounds before the Final 6.

You were important to me, but in very unique ways. You drew a ton of attention to yourself at the beginning of the merge, you were winning challenges and looking like more of a threat than me, even though I came in second a lot in challenges. You shined more socially and any person that looked more threatening than I was I consider important to my game. I do hold you in high regard because your articulation is masterful. I think in the back of my mind I always knew you were someone I would need to eliminate if I wanted to win, and that could be a reason why we didn't talk as much as we should have in this game. I'd rather say nothing than say a lie. I'm sorry things were that way, but I meant everything I said about you when we did talk and I was honest. I even told you to your face when I had voted for you, which I did to NO ONE else in this game except Vytas after he told me he was voting for me at Final 4.

I hope that answers your question, Coby.

It does. We'll see how you fare...

I dont understad how you can take all the credit for moves you didnt make You kept Vytas becasue we had just made an alliance with me, you, marissa, and him. Dont try and say you kept him because youre a genius and nothing in this game got by you because its phony and youre honestly full of shit. and you keep giving yourslef credit for getting vytas out when it had NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. It was a blunder by me and nothing you did made it happen. Stop trying to give credit to yourself for moves you didn't fucking make.

nd btw not talking to coby was what i meant by you not talking to certain people. in a previous message or whatever.

[Cochran]

Yeah Coby, you picked my one weakness outside of challenges. I don't have a creative bone in my body. I want to say it's because my social game was bad but it's more because I have an embarrassment tick that goes off whenever I try to do something out of my comfort zone. I dont think me not doing the slash fiction should translate to my social game but I do understand where your coming from.

So, i'm sorry. If I lose your vote because of this I understand. But If you vote for Ibe, please make it be because you think I played a bad game, and not because you think he played a good one.

What was your first idea? I at least what something here.

Pretty much Ibe raping me and calling it Portugulp: Cochrans FINAL tribal.

but i didnt get very far past there.

Ok well for the sake of everyone's time, I'm good.

[Jeff Probst]

Alright, well it's been a weird and ugly final tribal. (What else could we expect from a jury with Caryn :P). Emotional at times, frustrating at best...

But now it is time to lock this before tomorrow's finale. Cochran and Ibrehem, feel free to leave a closing statement and then I'll lock this sucker.

You will both have to wait until tomorrow's finale at 8c/9e for the reveal of the winner.

Good luck and good game everyone!

[Cochran]

Thanks coby.

That alliance was a part of the decision to keep Vytas as well. There were lots of pros to keeping him in...

I know it was a blunder by you. We had a lot of conversations in the endgame about voting for Vytas and we were the two votes that tied the vote and got him eliminated, try to discredit me all you want, but the receipts are all there in PM's and our confessionals.

[Jeff Probst]

Final votes are due by 7:00c/8:00e. That's one hour before our normal time.

Good luck everyone. You can change your vote up until then if you reread something. Good night!

[Cochran]

I really did enjoy playing this game with all of you guys. I understand most of you have little to no respect for my game, but I did play my heart out.

Like I said to coby. If you do vote for Ibe tonight, I want it to be because you think I played a bad game, not because you think he played a good one.
