I posted this in Erin's confessional but thought the better of it. She can read it here after she votes;



IDK Why we even have FTCs if everyone has their minds made up already.

Removed it because it sounds like I'm commenting specifically on this FTC, but it's more of a comment on ORGs in general. If Joanna got to the FTC with that jury speech & reveal she should sure as hell be able to snag Erin's vote.

This convo is pretty much the F3 in a nutshell - lolzy trololol Penny, yeah I'll get to that any time now Brian & why use one word where twenty will do Helen

So looking at the certain F3 now, maybe - just maybe - a Helen win isn't a certainty. A whitewash is looking increasingly unlikely, and with Brian planning to sabotage Helen's game in the hope of nicking a few vote, along with helen's undoubtedly long-winded speeches coming up, we might just see the door open to Penny to come and build on a base of Dan & Joanna's votes



We need hella hot performances from Penny & Brian, and a poor one from Helen for any hope of this though.. ..here we go!

I'd vote for Penny here. We'll see what happens. Brian definitely should get zeroed out though.

Well Penny smashed it outta the park there. Highlighting the Dan flip & Rob boot, and particularly the cheeky digs at Helen & Brian could work wonders.

Watch as Helen's up-til-now well concealed rage at Penny finally cracks

Brian's OP tanks

*reads the whole thing*

*realises has subconsciously skipped large chunks*

*meh, can wait till mornin*


:D

No srsly, Helen's isn't really great either. Sure it's a blow by blow but somehow Penny's sounds more genuine due to her writing style. Helen's reads like a lawyer (and everyone knows lawyers lie) while Penny's is brief to the point and explains not just what she did, but why what she did trumps what they did. Plus it's a little bit fun & cheeky, which is incredibly important if you want to pick up votes from people who are looking for social/entertainment reasoning over cold strategy.

Helen needs to learn to brutally edit & tailor to her audience. No-one cares nor will be weighing their vote on pre-merge tbh, you can cut that whole section for a start.etcetcetc. Add some pictures, headings, something! She's also maybe hoping no-one will notice how she skipped the F6 round n her wrap up..

Penny - 8
Helen - 5 (6)
Brian - 2

Brians actually made better points to vote Helen than she did hence the 6.

Bed for me, more tomorrow.

Penny might be slipping here when you compare Penny's rebuttal to Helen's. But idk if some of the jurors will actually read Helens..

Part of it is due to Brian - if he wants to steal votes he can only get them from Helen, not Penny, and him backing her up isn't helping his own case.

This is a bit of a coin flip as to who the jurors choose to believe.

TC part 1 is over and who woulda thunk it, but Penny can legitimately win here depending on the jurors. She's already done enough to change Christy's mind - how many more can she scrape together?

Brian is out of the running for even a single vote I fear, especially as the Jury knows it's a two horse race - I can't see anyone allowing it possibly become 3-3 and letting Brian vote for Helen - though I wouldn't put it past Ted for the chaos factor

Helen needs to slow down and explain herself better, but I don't know if she has it in her to not write a huge paragraph with rambling sentences, and that is what is turning people off. Point out the loopholes in Penny's logic. Use Penny's own quotes to highlight the absurdity. It might not be a fair assessment, but it's true.
The vocal parts of the Jury are backing Penny too so that's not exactly working in her favour either.

Right now my best guess at the votes is;
Christy/Joanna for Penny
Ted/Daniel for Helen
Shawna/Rob/Erin undecided -> Shawna likely Penny, Rob likely Helen, which leaves a helluva lot based on which way Erin swings. How fitting that she is the one who saw both their true games.

Come on, Penny!!

I really, really hope she can pull this off.
