Opening Statements
Welcome Nikki, Chrissy and Tamar to the final Tribal Council of the season. Everything you've done in this game has led you to this point. Now all the power shifts to the jury. They will be the ones who determine which of you will be named the winner of this game.
First I'll give each of you a chance to make an opening statement.
Once all 3 have given their statements, each jury member will then get a chance to speak and ask any questions that they need to ask that will help them determine who they want to vote for.
Jury members, you are free to ask whatever you want to help you decide who is most deserving of your vote. Because I've seen these final jury sessions get way out of hand, my only requests are: ask just a couple questions (I've seen people throw out 10 questions to each finalist and expect page long responses to each) and don't make your questions too ridiculous (stuff like compare every single player in the game to your favorite 19th-century Pope).
Once the finalists have posted their statements here, I'll open an individual thread for each jury member.

Re: Opening Statements
Hey guys!
When I started this game, I really didn't think I would be sitting here in the final 3 at the end. Playing the game previously, I was a lot more busier this time around than in the past, so I knew I needed to change my strategy to reflect that.
On my original tribe, I started working with JT & Hanna which led me to the huge alliance that was the original tribe. This included both Jake & Joe, although there wasn't much one on one talk with you guys due to the tribe swap really almost immediately after the alliance was formed.
When we tribe swapped, I immediately started contacting John & Taz because I knew it was imperative for me to make connections on the other side. Due to my hectic work schedule, I got confused with the vote deadlines a couple times which ultimately put me in a position where I was looked at as not the strongest person of my former tribe. I used this to my advantage with John basically begging him to keep me around and I'd watch out for him.
I connected with Tamar pretty easily because I love Tamar. We started talking game at merge more. After talking with Hanna and Tamar, a girls alliance formed of me, Nikki, Tamar, & Hanna. At this point it was important for me to make Tamar & Nikki see me as less of a threat than Hanna and a mess in the challenges so they'd be more willing to go far with me.
I saw John & JT as my biggest obstacles. Their alliance talk that included me didn't interest me much because both of them were "leaders". I wanted to paint my own path to the end, so us girls turned on both sides and went to f6 together before they blindsided Hanna.
I had a feeling that would happen, but I worked hard to convince them that it would be smart to keep me around another week. At first they mentioned me having a lot of friends on the jury, so I turned that around and mentioned me not being as close to people as I thought. I even mentioned Taz was the only person left who hadn't backstabbed anyone besides Joe who was very quiet and didn't talk to anyone at this point. I even threw in that taking Joe would be seen as taking an inactive.
After they voted Joe over me, I knew it was time to win that individual immunity that I held off on for the whole game, because of my work schedule as well as me not wanting to be seen in the same light as Hanna. I won, and with Taz being the only person left who hadn't screwed anyone, I voted with the 2 girls who I had been loyal to since the merge and here we are.
I welcome all of your questions!

Re: Opening Statements
Well, it's been a super long road everyone filled with loads of twists and turns. I'd like to thank switza/Adam for hosting this game of course and helping keep the IMDB games board alive since that's where he and I are originally from, and I'd like to thank Tamar and Chrissy for being amazing allies. There were a few moments I wasn't sure we would end up here, but we pulled it off. And of course, thank you jury for playing with us all and all adding something to the game whether it was loyalty, friendship, impressive gameplay, fun conversation or all of the above.
When I first started the game, I was in a tribe that was plagued by inactives and disorganization. I knew that I had to make sure my voice was always heard so I did my best to be vocal in every challenge plan and be the first to offer up names when it was time to vote. Unfortunately, there were many early rounds where we simply didn't have enough active people to pull off a win but it caused those of us who were active and showing up every round to develop a solid bloc. But I knew that if we constantly lost, we would be vastly outnumbered so I did my best to perform hard in challenges and speak openly at TC so I would be one of the most visible and it would be more likely for a Mara that wasn't happy with their position to reach out, which Hanna did. We formed a solid hybrid Pichi/Mara alliance that we kept secret from the rest of the boys and took out those that were threats either because they had not angered anyone (Joe, Tazz), were good socially (Tom, Jake, John) or were challenge beasts who also had several big moves on their resume (TJ, Hanna). I kept in contact with both sides so neither one would want to vote me and fought hard in challenges. I didn't go the easy way out by taking goats, but I also recognized when someone had potential to be dangerous for my game in the end and wasn't afraid to cut them. Of course I have some remorse about it since I didn't want to hurt anyone, but it was strictly strategic. Hopefully at the end of this we can all be satisfied with how this game played out and be cordial, if not friends. I welcome your questions.

Re: Opening Statements
Well alrighty now I've always come up with little short so to finally be here is amazing. So I've never been in the minority everytime I played survivor so when we lost the first two challenges I was sad but we had inactives so that was a good thing . Then when it was time for a swap my original tribe had the numbers just in case we lost we would vote out the other side. When the merge happened I was so upset that we voted out elliot since I had the tribe vote Hanna to be exempt so could have numbers. The reason that didn't happen was the girls were telling me info that I pieced together that John was the reason tj was still around . At this point I had two idols already but never needed a reason to use them . So after we slaughtered the guys and ivy (love you girl ) I know Hanna had to leave, because she was gonna win. I planned on playing both my idols and not telling anyone but nikki came to me and the plan just got 100% solidified. There wasn't that many big moves made considering it was mostly groups but I assure you I knew who would get voted out every single time. Thank you all , can't wait to see everyone questions.

Re: Opening Statements
Also jury members, you are not obligated to ask any questions. So if you have no questions, at least post a "good job" on your thread or something so we're not all waiting around for you to ask something.
And if at any point, you are confident in who you want to vote for, go ahead and vote. Just remember you can't change your vote.

Re: Opening Statements
Tazz has been less active on weekends so hopefully tomorrow morning can get on and pose questions.

Re: Opening Statements
The jury can vote anytime as well. So if it is like 6-0 without Tazz, I can announce a winner. But hopefully Tazz will get on and post something.

Re: Opening Statements
Wow, I never imagined when I signed up for this I'd actually win. I ranked my challenge level going into this game at about a 2 (literally, to the people from IMDB on this board once switza reveals identities you'll know I'm not usually a dominating person in immunities lol) and strategy at about a 5. I just wanted to help Adam get a full cast and see how things went from there.
Tamar, Chrissy, Hanna, John, Tom, Ivy (wherever you are), Tazz, thanks for being some of the best allies ever. You were all great in your own ways. Jake, TJ, Joe, we never really got to work together but I'm glad we played together too. Maybe some day we'll be in another ORG together and we'll work together more closely.
Can't wait to find out who was all from the board I am and who they were. <3 When is it going on the new forum, Switza?

Re: Opening Statements
Nikki- Tom Chrissy Hanna Nikki PePe Olivia Elliot are the only active IMDb/forum people. AMackenz is an old IMDber

Re: Opening Statements
I think she wants you to post it on there so the rest of IMDb can see the results of the game, so they can know she won. Much like when we had our IMDb boards, the game finale's would be posted there so others could see who placed what.

Re: Opening Statements
^ This. You put up a thread casting there so then the other people who didn't sign up can see how it ended. Also curious who everyone from IMDB was.

Re: Opening Statements
Only one I know is Hanna cuz she revealed it in questioning. I thought Tamar might have been Dillon for a while, but I was wrong.

Re: Opening Statements
I think you'd fit in pretty well there, Tamar (not sure what to call you now that the game's over). There's not always games casting, but there are a lot of people who like discussing reality TV and it's pretty fun and laidback nowadays. You were super fun to talk to, I'd like to keep in touch even if you didn't want to sign up there.

Re: Opening Statements
Do I need to drag people on there? For being bitter to you and Hanna

Re: Opening Statements
lol Most of those people aren't very active or aren't around..except Chrissy/Dillon, but they're cool. They were just having a bad time.
