Well, anyone who's watched scooby doo knows that at the end of every episode, they unmask the monster and then the person under the mask explains why they did it the entire time... It's the same situation at most final tribal councils, some people who have hidden behind the scenes suddenly reveal all that they have done throughout the game... but the question is, does that really work? Is that a valid strategy? In the past players have won based solely on revealing their strategy throughout the game, but do you think that's something that will work in this game on this jury. Or will the jury look at waht they have seen, witnessed themselves?

This depends on how much stock you hold in that Survey challenge.

I voted strategically in that challenge, I didnt personally believe most of the answers. Anybody who makes the final deserves to win, because they obviously have a quality that got them that far.

Votes due in 35 seconds.

Alright, at this time all votes are final.

I'll go tally the votes.

Well, yeah, at this point, if Helen doesn't win immunity, her absolute best hope is that her original alliance sticks with her to the end like we have all game. Based on the previous challenges, there may not even be an opportunity to vote her out. But if we were all heartless players going for the win, we'd take her out at the first opportunity. So using the loyal Helios angle is her best move.

How do you think the jury would perceive that move?

If only Phillip pulled this off



I don't think so, people aren't doing it. Our TCs have been renown for their quietness and lack of seriousness (except for when scrambling for plans last night), so not much is directed at the jury. Ever since my game plan has become streamlined a few rounds ago, I haven't continued to be deliberately evasive or short at TC, so as to avoid double talking or exposing some plan that needed to be kept second. Instead, I've tried to be open, and treat this forum much like I treat my confessional, with candid thoughts. I could see it being perceived as playing up to the jury, but it's not intended to (anyone that I've messaged more than ten times can tell you that this level of verboseness is typical of me).

Is it an opportunity? Sure it is. But at this point, I think the games of each of the remaining players is about as evident as it's going to be until the finalists have a longer period of time to explain everything at FTC. It wouldn't hurt to pre-empt some of those sharings now, by addressing things to the jury (indirectly), but with everything so open at this final stage (or if not open, foreseeable, or guessable at least, what each player's options are for what to do), it isn't that great of a help either.

It depends on how the Jury views Helen and her position in the game. The consensus seems to be that her and Brian are calling the shots. Whether or not that is true though, is anybody's guess.

lol brian?

Brian, Joanna clearly doesn't think that way. Response?
