Juror #1 - Sally

[Stephenie Ward]

This will be Sally's own thread for questioning the Jurors. Only Sally and the Final 2 are allowed to post here.

[Sally "Facelift'd" Schumann]

Hey guys, it’s Sally!

I already know who I’m voting for. Jon. I told you that I would vote for you if you made F2. I said that not expecting you to actually make it this far, but I said that if you did, I’d vote for you. I respected your game play even though you were, for me, the “antagonist” of the season. I’m shocked that no one could actually arrange your ouster, seeing as how you had such a big target of your back. I salute you for that.

Aras. How the heck did you get here? I’ll sum it up for you. The only reason you weren’t voted out was because everyone hates you so much you were the only logical choice to bring to the F2. Anyone that brought you instantly won. Yeah, you made some “strategic moves”, backstab all your former allies. Well, that wasn’t smart long term, because when you did that, you turned into a goat and ensured that, yes, you will get to F2, but no, you have no chance in hell of winning. If you actually stuck with us, our alliance could have stayed strong. So, you may have been the bottom of the totem pole, but come on. Who knows what can happen at the end-game? Things can change. Also, you gave Jon the book. WHY!?!?!?!?! Aras, Aras, ARAS! Firstly, you just erased any thoughts in the jurors mind that you, yes you, backstabbed them there. Secondly, you gave immunity to someone that had a 10,000% chance of beating you in the F2. If you didn’t save him, you’re chances of actually winning would have improved, because you had a high chance of making F2, but a ZERO chance of winning when Jon was here. You didn’t play to win. Why should I vote for that?

So yeah, I know who I’m voting for, but I’ll ask you something just for fun anyway.
Give all the Jurors a letter grade for their performance in the game. You can give jurors the same grade if you want.

[Aras Baskauskas]

Well, to begin with Sally, if you made a deal like that with Jon, that is foolish. That pretty much means no one had a chance of getting your vote. And furthermore, I did not turn on you. I turned at the Jenna stage. Why? Because as you stated in your question, I was the odd man out. You really expected me to settle for that and just say, "OK, I will just sit here. 4th is good enough." No Way! I am here to play and here to win. That's why. It was necessary. I gave Jon the book because we had a deal, and I could trust him. Believe me, I do not regret giving it to him either.

To your question:

I would give you all an A because you made it this far and all played the game. No cheesiness, just business.

[Jonny "Fairplay" Dalton]

I remember that Sally, and I would like to thank you for your support. I think people don't realize how hard I worked to get this far. Sure, I may have needed to win challenges, but isn't that part of winning the game? I thnk so.

Anyways, onto your question...

Sally - B. You played pretty good I felt, except I wish you could've made more of the decisions yourself instead of in a group. I did the group at first but when it hit merge I knew I had to make decisions on my own. Other than that, solid job.

Cirie - B. Again, same thing as Sally, but since you didn't turn on me or never intended to vote me out, I hold a great respect for you.

Jenna - B. Personally, most the people in the jury are B, and it's because it's incredibly hard to get that A. Jenna again was one of the Menkaure group people that I would like to see have made some of the decisions herself.

Rafe - A. This is one case where I must give the A, Rafe was my greatest competition this game and when you have TWO people who are strategists, there's going to be problems that arise as to who holds more power and that's exactly what happened here. I give him 100% for the competition, otherwise this game would've been dull for me.

Ami - B. Would've been an A from me but I felt that decision to try and get me out was a bad move near the end Nah, I'm joking. Pretty much good game except for a few decisions you made that were iffy.

Trish - C. Didn't see much from you except you followed Rafe around. Sorry.

Lydia - B. You weren't much of a strategist, but you always gave your all and you were definately an ace at the social game.

So, there you have it. Unlike Aras, I chose not to beat around the bush and just give you all one simple grade. That's one thing that probably kills me in that I'm brutally honest and I'm done pulling strings, this jury questioning is the real deal. Hate it, love it, it's what I think.

Well, then, I hope you didn't mind losing to him either.

[Sally "Facelift'd" Schumann]

And actually, Aras, I think you should know now that if JARS were F4, I would've wanted to go up against you the most as well and not Rafe, because he'd beat me. So if you stayed with us, you could've gotten F2 anyway.

[Sally "Facelift'd" Schumann]

I refuse to have my thread be at the bottom of the list. So I'm bumping it. Muha!

[Sally "Facelift'd" Schumann]

COUGHCOUGHHACKWHEEZE

I am glad you pointed that out. Otherwise, I would've thought all those decisions I made were my own... oh WHOOPS, they were my own! Funny how that works, eh?

[Jonny "Fairplay" Dalton]

Well, the way Menkaure made things look you all seemed like you were following Rafe around. Because everytime I talked to Rafe, he acted like he was in a power position where he could get you all to do anything.

No, no... okay, I'm going to be very honest and divulge the inner workings of Menkaure.

Rafe and I established ourselves as the strongest members VERY VERY EARLY in the game. Wau at the start, it was Rafe and I as the top two. Aras and Kim were next. Then Jenna and Rob as the bottom because they weren't there at the start, and sorry Jenna, but you were really pathetic at the start of the game.

Then, we started winning and we all stuck together to form JARKS, but Rafe and I were still the top of this alliance. Eventually, Kim disappeared. Which is when Menkaure as a whole really lost it, but anyway, we then became JARS. I, as in me, self-appointed myself to devise plans to help us survive being outnumbered. They sorta worked I guess. I was voted out early, so yeah. I didn't get a chance to really do anything in the merge.

So.. Rafe DID have power. But it was sort of a king-queen sorta deal, we decided everything together, and when I was voted out, it really threw Menkaure for a loop. Rafe might've been anticipating that so he started preparing accordingly. I kinda knew I'd be out, like there was a 0% chance of survival...

If you Rafe had been out instead of me first week, I think you would've had the same result as we were pretty much the same. I was the brains and Rafe was the brawn.

[Jonny "Fairplay" Dalton]

Yeah, I knew that I had to get you out first in order to weaken Rafe. I don't know what it was, just a gut feelling maybe.
