Please post give a small look back paragraph or sentence about each of your fallen comrades.

The jury can not see this forum, but if you feel more comfortable, you can post this in your confessional forum.

It's a great way to reflect on the game, complete your experience and also a great way to figure out a great jury speech since you will be going over every boot in the game and your experience with that person (or lack their of).

Good luck and I hope you can take the time out to do this:

Butch
Ken
Jan
Jake
Ryan
Jeanne
---
Shawna
Daniel
Ted
Erin
Rob
Christy

Does everybody want to do this in their confessional or in public? I feel like we should do it the same way in whatever manner we choose.

Butch – second chance plz
Ken – dunno you
Jan – dunno you
Jake – I always rooted for you over Rob
Ryan – I would;e worked with you if you’d asked ;-;
Jeanne – I’m so sorry, if it makes you feel better my game was eternally fucked up because I booted you
---
Shawna – ILU gurl gone way too soon
Daniel – piss poor decisions…
Ted – you’re welcome for letting you make jury, PUNK
Erin – you love me GIT. OVER. URSELF.
Rob – my constant damage control of your idiocy finally couldn’t keep up anymore
Christy – I’m obsessed with you forever and ever and ever

Listening to the Cook Islands theme for this while I write it up. Enjoy guys, although you probably wont see it until the confessionals are opened.

Pre Merge


Butch

I dont think I even got a sense of what you were really like. I dont think we ever spoke. But you were the first voted out and I do remember we were not surprised given I dont think you had turned up yet. Helios were privately hoping that Rob would be voted out. So your eviction was sad for us. While you obviously didnt get much of a go, I'd like to think you were cast as Butch because you were something like the real Butch, and if that was the case, you would have done well.


Jeanne

My favourite memory of you is the amount of times I mixed you up with Joanna from Asteria as well. I think this is because I thought the two of you were practically the same. If this is the case, you can be proud knowing that with a bit of luck and a role reversal, you would have made it all the way to 4th place. It sucks not being able to get to know you guys pre-merge, but I hope you enjoyed the game!


Ryan

I was personally surprised most by your elimination, although I later heard that it was because you were likely to flip over to us. Its a shame you never got the opportunity to join up with us, since I certainly wouldnt have minded another number on my side. I think we may have clashed heads a couple of times in the Arena, but it was a while ago and I am not entirely sure. Either way, I hope you got some enjoyment out of the game and you gave it your all!


Ken

Wow Ken, it seems like ages ago we voted you off first at Helios. If its any consolation your sacrifice was not in vain, as your former tribe have dominated the merge in your absence. I know you were having fun with the game, I wish you made more of an effort to talk to me on a personal level because then the first vote may not have been so regulation. You didnt really have an alliance with any of the people I wanted to keep in the game, and so you were a clear first choice to target. Sorry again.


Jan

Oh Jan! You were our tribe mascot for a while! I really enjoyed playing with you. Your character was really funny and I loved how uncoordinated you were at times. You definitely inspired me to have more fun with the game, and crack a few more jokes. I think in some small way you contributed to my social game and so I am thankful to you for showing up to play. It was fun while it lasted Jan!


Jake

Jake you were a loveable player on Helios as well even though I dont think you ever sent me a single personal message! I didnt really get much of a vibe from you in terms of being a strategic player, but not everybody comes here for the same reasons. I hope that you too got some enjoyment from the game and cherished the experience that we all shared for a time together. I was genuinely concerned at your elimination that it may be me going home, so if anything, you helped contribute to my greater sense of confidence that I developed when we hit the merge. Thanks for playing!


Shawna 1st Jury Member

I bet you didnt expect to be going out so soon Shawna and I think you had so much planned for the game that you unfortunately never got the chance to really explore. Your vote was essentially out of paranoia, it certainly was nothing personal. I regret that I didnt take the time out to get to know you on a personal level. Those first few days of the merge were crazy for me and I would have definitely loved to message you had you survived the first round. Unfortunately for you, Rob's apparent Immunity Idol saved him for quite a while, and you were the first victim in his place. Sorry girl!


Daniel 2nd Jury Member

I was shattered to see you go so early Daniel! Without a doubt you were the one person on Asteria that took the time to get to know me when we first arrived and I intended to reward you by carrying you as far as I possibly could. My biggest regret by a mile is not asserting my authority over my alliance earlier and fighting harder to keep you in the game. I do hope you got some sense of satisfaction in seeing us eventually emerge victorious, and I have a feeling you were rooting for me this entire time. I hope I can go all the way and not let you down. Kudos to you for giving me a fighting chance. I owe you a great deal of thanks in this game.


Ted 3rd Jury Member

Ted you had a terrific game going that nobody could quite figure out! I think you were taken out well ahead of your time and you were one of the players that I would have been happy voting for at the end had you gotten this far. Having said that, you were always going to stand in my way of being the player I wanted to be and for that, I had to try and scheme against you. It actually wasnt my idea to vote you out when you eventually were, but I certainly played a part in it. You should be proud of the way you conducted yourself this season and you should also be proud for fighting so hard to stay in the game for so long. You faced tremendous adversity and you defied the odds to stay alive until the merge. Well done!


Erin 4th Jury Member

Words cant explain how much I valued our alliance throughout the game. Without a doubt you were the one I loved strategising with the most and without a doubt I had you coming to the Final 3 with me the entire time. You never backed away from the pact we made together on the first day and I loved logging in to see your name down the bottom knowing you were online and knowing I would get an impending PM about what scheme we should hatch next. I hope that you got some satisfaction by seeing us prosper after your blindside, and I hope you enjoyed the Rob elimination. I am so sorry you were Idoled out the way you were. I hope you enjoyed conversing with me as much as I did with you, and I hope that the time you spent here was enjoyable and productive. Thank you for being such a loyal ally and a great friend throughout this journey.


Rob 5th Jury Member

You were my toughest opponent throughout the game and my true rival. This season I think prospered because of the Rob v Penny showdowns that were so often evident, whether that be in challenges or when it got even more epic and we faced off at so many Tribal Councils. Despite what I said, I never meant any of it personally, and I hope I get the chance to explain to you at Final Tribal that I was purely strategic in my apparent dislike of you. I saw you as a fierce rival, a fantastic strategist and overall a terrific competitor. Im glad I had the opportunity to play against such a great player of the game. While the blindside that I orchestrated on you would have been shattering, im sure you can appreciate my need to have you eliminated. To me personally you would have been a worthy winner of this game and in an ideal world, a great person to duke it out at the end with. I absolutely considered your proposal for a long time, but in the end I went with what would be the best decision for me personally. I hope someday we get the opportunity to play together again and team up to combine our magnificent talents. It would be a match made in heaven. Even though you were my rival and we never voted together once, you still get a love heart for being such a great player. I hope you enjoyed the game!


Christy 6th Jury Member

In terms of votes that I personally cast, yours was without a doubt the hardest to do and the one I felt legitimately bad about afterwards. You were the one person I actually enjoyed getting messages from late in the game. When the crux of my PMs to other players was about strategy, I was relieved to get a PM from you that connected with me on a personal level. I wish so badly that you and I had started out on the same side, as nothing would have made me happier than sitting at the end with you. I know the person in you is disappointed in your elimination and shattered to coming so close but falling over at the final hurdle, but I also know the player in you is content with the game you played, and I know that you know you had this game in the bag if things had gone right for you. You were my favourite Asteria for most of the game, and I am thrilled I have such superb taste, as this initial hunch I had ended up being spot on when we exchanged communication for the first time. I hope you got something positive out of the game that I know you enjoyed. It was great to see somebody ferocious and uncompromising fight their way to the bitter end. In most ways I have tried to play the game which I think you played to perfection. Your perfect blend of physical, strategic and social gameplay is what I would like to be able to play. You were an inspiration for my own game and for that, I am thankful.


Joanna 7th Jury Member

Joanna you were always very funny and alot of the times I just laughed out loud at the random stuff you had to say. I dont really know what you offered to the game in a tactical sense, I think people kept you in the game because you just wanted to follow the leader and try and Natalie your way to the end. I wish you would have been more receptive towards me, since you seemed to come across as quite cold whenever we spoke. But I guess I single handedly destroyed yours and the rest of Asteria's dreams. So I dont mind if thats my punishment.
