I asked Xander directly to defend himself. Didn't realize he had a lawyer on the island.
I guess it pays to be nice to people Jeff!

I was just making a generalized statement for the class since everyone wants to point out threat levels this evening. I'm no one's lawyer, but I'm not about to let Xander get off scot free without having some shine on his game. He's gotten here doing SOMETHING so he's a scary player as well. I just think people have their eyes on the wrong things right now~

Listen, I am very well aware that Abe is definitely the biggest threat to take to the end right now or even to the next round in the game because he's won a good number of immunities. Doesn't necessarily mean that because he was a 'comp beast' he is going to be the winner at the end? Like, where is that in the rule book?
What would be your argument against Abe's immunity wins?
Well you're looking at the current holder of an immunity necklace so I'm no slouch either, Papa Jeff. There's that plus what would end up getting me to those seats if I end up making it there. His wins are part of the reason why he's been able to maintain his own safety for a few rounds, but those of us that have not been safe with individual immunity or idols have had to rely on our social game and knowing where votes will fall in order to be safe another round, which is just as big of a skillset as winning an immunity. 
You could argue that Ancha is relying on Abe's wins from the premerge. Coming into the merge with a distinct numbers advantage.

Let's be real. JR and Leslie have pushed all three of our names (Xander/Evvie/Myself) all day. If I had won immunity, they'd be selling the same story to vote out Evvie or Xander. It's the same thing as always.

Bringing JR any further to the end is asking him to just take the win. Sure I'm a threat, but I've choked a few times on challenges myself. I think JR is the biggest threat in this game right now, and definitely bigger than myself.

The jury, the players in the game that are answering these questions, ønly have eyes on what we can see.

I hear what you guys are saying about there being different types of threats. I think a big worry is if you could even have the option of taking someone out later. We can all call it and say I am freaking TERRIBLE at these challenges. Yes, all of you have at least one, but he has been safe most of the time. We won't even have the chance. He is the only player that if we don't take this, will most likely win himself to the end.

I didn't know that Abe's name went along as being the owner of Ancha. Yes, Abe did a lot to help during the first few rounds of the season for challenges. But everyone on our tribe showed up and put in work to make sure we won, Abe didn't do everything on his own. Yes, he's worked really hard to prepare for individual challenges and whatnot. But Abe did not survive to this point on his own either.

I hope the jury is enjoying me because I’m joining y’all soon. This cute little alliance wants to give 5 minute maze solver Abe an easy Survivor 42 victory!

Why would they keep you over Abe, when you have a strong underdog storyline?
Why would they keep Abe over someone who overcame a 7-2 deficit to be in the Finale of this game? It's right there! JR is the beast of this game. He's the guy to win. Everyone loves an underdog story. The lurkers are probably howling over the idea of him making it to the end. He's got it on lock if he makes it there.

Evvie, you were named as one of the more threatening players along with Abe and JR... if this is a final 2, does that put you on the jury voting for Leslie or Xander?

Evvie is right that not having immunity means you have to scramble and rely on social connections to stay in the game.

I hope that isnt the case JR. It was a stupid rookie mistake but im still here. Since then, ive been underestimated since then. Nobody knew that i was actually part of the F3 alliance with Abe and Evvie. But here we are!

And I appreciate that you think I have a strong underdog story, but I’ve had no control with the numbers in this game. That could probably be spun against me at FTC.

Abe, I have no clue what you are talking about. Pushing all names all day? I said if you lose I am voting you. I didn't talk about a second option because I was hoping for a miracle. We didn't even talk because when I tried to message you, you said that you knew I was gunning for you so there was no point. So let's not lie. I did not say anyone's name to you today.
