Okay Ibrehem and Cochran. Congrats on making it to the Final 2!
I'm going to start with Cochran. When I called you a rat during the F10 Tribal, some of that stemmed from my personal frustration with you. We had a good relationship at the start but as the game went on you got cocky and complacent to the point where you started to irreversibly damage your game. Talking to you, I didn't know whether to punch you in the face or coddle you like a baby, you were so fragile. Little did I know that you were also a bumbling idiot that severely put yourself at a disadvantage tonight. You played a very good game despite the reputation that you were sly and slimy like a rat. And you and Vytas were making some good waves together. When Ibrehem, Semhar and Shawn failed to come together to split you two at F5, I was thinking Cochran/Vytas have this in the bag. I thought you were smart enough to realize that the best chance you had was against Vytas or even Shawn at that matter. Everyone hated Vytas and his personality, you included. Why in the world did you vote for Vytas over Ibrehem in the F4? I understand that you thought that maybe having Vytas against you, it would be hard for you to claim your own game moves, but still. How is Vytas a bigger threat to your game than Ibrehem? You'll probably end up answering this so I want you to write a short slash fanfic between any two or more people on the jury to show you care. I'll even give you the title: "Portugulp".
Ibrehem, I feel like Cochran made an effort to reach out to people. He was somehow day after day able to get in people's good graces enough to flip-flop and vote out almost everyone in the game. I feel you are only there because of medallions, idols and immunity wins and nothing really on a social scale because you really didn't need to and it felt like you made no efforts (except maybe with Cochran at the end). Now we also had a good relationship at the start but then all communication with you stopped. Knowing in the back of my mind you had an alliance with Caryn/Becky and Kim/Peter to some extent, all of that sent some red flags that clearly I was not in your plans. You did the same thing to me during the merge and kind of iced me out. Communication is a two way street but I feel like even when I did reach out, there was no real talk of future plans. Was I ever important to you at any point in the game?
So I'm at a crossroad. My vote is 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.
