Episode 15

[Ibrehem]

Alright, at first I was bummed it was a Final 2, but I'm pretty glad now.

I have never solved a drop-down puzzle so quickly before with no help.

[Stephanie Valencia]

So... who you gonna vote out? :O

[Ibrehem]

Ergh.

Shawn.

[Ibrehem]

I can't believe how unfortunate my odds were and then suddenly they turned great.

[Brenda Lowe]

Indeed.

What's the pros v cons here? You counting out Jury votes on your fingers and who would go which way?

[Ibrehem]

Caryn was Shawn's friend in the game. Becky was his Limici ally. Ralph was his BvW partner and Limici ally. Rachel was briefly friends with him on Bracari I think (not that she'd vote him, but). Coby was his Limici ally. Marissa fought to keep him over Ralph whenever the Ralph vs. Shawn thing came up. Semhar was friends-ish with him? That's a lot of friends and he's won challenges, didn't step on toes, played a great UTR game...

From my perspective everybody hates Cochran and he only did everything Vytas told him to do and he's fucked up god knows how many times throughout this game.

[Ibrehem]

I hope that was the right choice. Either way really I'd have the chance to give my argument. I felt less confident against Shawn and that's that.

[Brenda Lowe]

Congrats Ibe! Whatever happens, you've still never been voted out of Stranded What is that, 30 TCs or something now?

Do you want a new FTC thread of is in here fine?

Also, do your Fallen Comrades boy. cochran has his done since before you even started the F4 challenge. Half the Jurors have them done too. It'll actually help you to think straight before you start thinking about what you want to say at FTC so get on it before you suddenly have no time.

[Ibrehem]

Thanks, Brenda! Yeah, that's definitely something to be proud about.

I'll just talk in this thread!

I'm actually writing Fallen Comrades now.

Oh sweet, cheers. Also swing into tree-mail and let us know if you can be here from 8 tomorrow. Hoping to get the FTC part all done between 8 and 10:30 tomorrow but you know how these things can run over. If needs must, we can always bleed into Thursday but would rather not.


And once all that is done (lol) I have this delicious question for you;

But now that you know the F2 for sure for sure. Run me through it again. Who are your 'for-sure' votes and who are Cochran's? Who is leaning his way that you might steal and who is leaning your way that you need to secure? Who are a complete toss-up?

And Jurors aside, give me the honest comparison of your and his games. What are you going to highlight tomorrow and what are you going to gloss over? What are his strongest points and biggest weaknesses? Will you attack his game, just defend your own or a mix?

I guess just talk me through how you take this finalist spot and turn it into a win.

And I'm done with Fallen Comrades! Sorry, I wanted to post it last night, but I had to go to bed.

Well, I think I have Rachel for sure. I could have Marissa and maybe Caryn. I don't know who Cochran "has" for sure. He was close to Vytas and may have his vote, but he fucked him over right at the end... I could try my best to swing Vytas to my side. I think I could convince Becky and Coby. Ralph and Semhar are toss-ups because they knew Cochran previously. I don't know about Shawn.

My game was precise and coordinated, I had a path and stuck to it. Cochran was a mess. I think the times I "backstabbed" allies are areas I want to gloss over (not that I care) -- Caryn lied a lot, the vote was going her way. Becky was on the opposite side of tribal lines. Marissa was a huge threat and she was getting idol'd anyway. Due to Shawn's messy ass voting the Semhar vote would have tied 2-2-1 had I voted with her. She was a big threat anyway. I think I'd like to gloss over my paranoia, too.

I'm gonna attack his game, of course. He has barely any strong points. His one point would be that he was lucky enough to survive this far. From my perspective, he almost never thought for himself here. And then flipping on his closest ally... the man who did ALL the work for them... right at the end... to give me the opportunity to win a tie... That's actually kind of gross.

[Sophie P Clarke]

I know you worked hard to get here, Ibe, and I'm so happy this worked out for you and you made it this far <3

Wishing you the best of luck tonight. It wouldn't be an golden season without a golden FTC, so you better be on your toes :)

[Ibrehem]

Thank you, Sophie! <3 I'll be bringing it.

[Brenda Lowe]

Good luck? I think? How do you think that went?

[Ibrehem]

I think it went pretty well. I knew not talking to certain people a lot would bite me in the butt, but I hope I used FTC to fix that to some degree.

[Ibrehem]

"if i see anything more than numbers and "yes" or "no" you lose my vote."

Oh. I don't think I answered Vytas' question exactly like he wanted me to.
