Malcolm's madness strikes again... No haikus

[Malcolm Freberg]

Ok first off I wanna say congrats to the final 2. You both are here for a reason so trees no oh who do you think deserves to be there out of the jury because we got played and you guys didn't. Now comes the time for you both to impress 7 people.

Before I get to you guys I do wanna air out some dirty laundry. Kelly I wronged you. I had an alliance with Alina from day 1 and I knew I'd have to betray people but I couldn't bring myself to betray my original alliance. Had I ended up on a tribe with you at first I would've fought like hell for you and me to be sitting here at the end but that was the hand I was dealt. But anyways to the point.

First let's start with Denise. Denise oh mama Denise. Yes you deserve to be in the final 2 but I don't think you deserve the win. Let's go back to the tribe swap. All you ever did was ask hey what do I do what do I do. Never made a choice for yourself. Then the merge same thing. Now I'm gonna run threw your game from the time I got voted out. You had Ed, Kelly, and Natalie on one side then Charlie, Lex, Alina on the other. After Lex got voted out a "big move" would've been force the tie get in good with Alina and Charlie which would've earned you major respect points. But no you didn't do that. You were the good soldier and you stayed loyal. Loyal doesn't win you survivor. Then final 5 comes you know Ed is leaving and you know Kelly is in control. How about a power shift? Bring in Alina and Ed and be like hey Kelly is running away with this maybe it's time we do something about it. Nope. Then the real kicker. You could've changed everything and voted to keep Natalie and force a tie between her and Alina but instead you followed orders like the good soldier you were and let the biggest threat in the game have a shot at final immunity. Please explain why the 7 of us should vote for you to win when all you did was follow orders.



Now for Kelly. Kelly I'm not gonna ask you a question just yet. Instead jury I want you to look at this girls game play. When I was in the Wynn tribe Kelly was the one calling the shots. She held my life in her hands. It almost didn't pay off for her but she still managed to survive. Merge happened. I flipped back to my original alliance. Kelly was in trouble. She played defeated. Like a boss. Kelly played that shit so well that I wanted to take her to the final 5 just because I felt bad. Then I go out. Kelly is the reason every single person except Colby is on the jury. Colby you're my bad sorry bro. Kelly played all of you. And she did it carefully and with tact. She never made it personal. And she did it while making you like her. If Kelly does not win this game then it'll be the biggest bust of a season there could ever be. Hell she pulled off the ballsiest move on the planet by taking out Natalie at 4 and letting Alina stick around one more round because she thought she could be better off going head to head with Alina in that last challenge. And it worked. Look at this girls game play and tell me she doesn't deserve to win this game and tell me she's not an all star. Cause she beat the living shit out of all of us and we all still like her. Kelly I want to applaud you on a game well played. That being said Kelly if I vote for you Denise is gonna lose this 7-0. And honestly I kinda feel bad for her for being so delusional so I'm gonna throw her a pity vote. My question for you is even though I'm not giving you a vote to win and I'm basically voting for the biggest floater ever does that have any affect on our status as friends? Because I really did enjoy our conversations especially the ones that had nothing to do with game just 2 people chatting it up.

That's all I got. Good luck

Okay first, at the expense of sounding like a complete cheeseball, thank you so much for that. I can't even begin to express how good it feels to hear something positive about my game after being criticized (with good reason) over the past 3-4 days. That being said, my face slowly went from  to   when I got to the end of your post. I said in my opening statement that I was going to be honest and I'm going to follow through on that. No, on a personal level, that would absolutely not affect our friendship because I can set aside the game once it's all over. BUT I would be pretty bummed to lose your vote, especially after what you just said about my gameplay. I don't think it's in your nature to throw Denise a pity vote, so I am a little caught off guard. Unless you know something I don't (and that is...probably the case since you're on the jury and you have a good sense of what the other jurors are thinking), I find it hard to believe that I would win 7-0 (although I wouldn't be against it). If you think that scenario is actually a possibility, then I would appreciate your assistance in making it happen.

I've played this game quietly but also aggressively and I will finish that way as well; Denise is more than capable of earning votes on her own. I know she has good arguments and I look forward to hearing them. But if you truly think the things that you've said, I'll be really disappointed to lose your vote to her.

Thanks again for what you said about my gameplay!!!!

I don't believe in making big moves. I believe in making correct moves, big or small. The Majority Rules challenge made it clear that my best chance of winning was sitting next to Kelly. Do you think I had a better chance vs Ed or Alina? If I did have a better chance vs them I have completely misread the jury and I deserve to lose. If you believe, like me, that my only chance in hell was to sit next to Kelly, look at my actions and tell me I played poorly.

The only situation I can see people fighting over was Natalie's vote. Kelly and I were both torn as to who should go, but in the end I made the decision for us to vote to save Alina. The main reason was that Natalie was better at puzzles.

How would Voting to keep Natalie "change everything"? Natalie is strong in puzzles and would kick my butt in the FTC.

I didn't see myself as following orders. I was involved in the decision to vote out everyone but Colby. I was the one who saved you. Colby was not willing to vote Vytas unless I supported it. Our group had a discussion and it was clear to me that Vytas was playing all sides.

I understand why you never saw me play. I spoke very little to you Malcolm because I knew you were sending people our private conversations, I could not trust you to plot with.

Well I can tell you now you did not save me. Kelly and Natalie were the ones who I have to thank for that. And Denise the reason I bring up big moves is because a couple of tribals ago I recall you talking about making big moves. I have nothing against the floater game but the way you did it left much to be desired. And don't get me wrong I'm not in the least bit bitter about my vote off. If I was I would be ripping Kelly a new one too. I'm just trying to understand where you got the idea that you had power in this game because from what I see after final 8 one person was in control and that was Kelly. She could've sent you packing any time she wanted too. But she didn't. She brought you to the end. You may not have blood on your hands Denise but I know for a fact that you didn't put in nearly as much work as Kelly did. But it is what it is. We'll see how it all goes down in the end.

My big moves comment was sarcastic, I guess it did not sound the same in print :/ But yes, Nat and Kelly played the biggest part in saving you, but it would not of gone through without my blessing.

Kelly had opportunities to vote me off just as I had opportunities to vote her off. Final 5 would of been an easy place to vote off Kelly, Alina for sure would of supported me and so would Ed.

TBH I don't expect your vote, your speech sounds too similar to Sarge's, where he made it sound like he was voting for Twila in order to make Chris look good. :/

Also you always seem to vote the opposite of the way you tell me

[Malcolm Freberg]

You never know Denise I could be being honest with you for once. I mean you did compare yourself to Chris d so I mean I figured why not get squirrelly with my shit? But hey guys you won't find out until the votes are revealed. Btw I know I would've been safe without your blessing. Or did you forget the whole fake idol thing I pulled?
