Welcome to F3. We're right at the end, but not quite done. The Stoners Alliance seemed to have been successful, and all three of you made it here congrats on that, let's think back to the beginning of that group to start questions off:

  1. Did you think when the stoners group chat was made during opening weekend that it would go this far and all of you make it? Did you think of it as your most serious group, or did you plan to not bother with it much? Did you ever think of betraying this trio, or were you 100% loyal to the alliance always?
  2. What has been the hardest tribal council for you so far this entire season?
  3. Have you been through any hardship in this game?
  4. Have you thought about your FTC speech, and what you will say to the jury? How will you present your story to them?
  5. Not all three of you will make it together to the end. If you become the final juror, who would you vote for to win?
  6. Some interesting reactions from the jury. Most of the jury seems to be bitter and want your head on a stake, tell us why do you think that is?
  7. Think you have any allies or supporters on the jury at all?

Hey Xander, just a quick question:
Leslie
Jeff, I am never going to give up. I think this is an opportunity for someone who people are saying hasn't made any of their own moves to vote with me tonight. While I love her, I am voting Evvie tonight. It is my only chance. At least I can have a chance if it goes to a challenge.
You're in the final 3 with 2 people you've played with the entire season. You were called out tonight by Leslie to make a move to differentiate yourself from your alliance mates, and you chose not to take her up on the offer. What was your reasoning for not sending her to fire? How do you plan on pitching your game for the win and separating your game from that of Evvie or Abe if you make final tribal?

Thank you for the question Danni! I hope your face settled after the buccal fat removal! 

Leslie was throwing every option at the wall tonight. With the looming threat of a F2, I knew if I sent Evvie to fire and she won that I could be on the chopping block again. I also wanted to hold true to Abe Evvie and I's Final three pact. Which has now happened and I am free of all responsibility! 

Now that it's a F2 I have both Abe and Evvie secured in saying they will take me along. Abe is travelling tomorrow and will not have too much time to focus on the challenge so I'm hoping that gives Evvie and I a leg up on it. If either of us win we are gonna take Abe out in a heartbeat. 

My plan with FTC is to illustrate how I was consistently underestimated and overlooked despite being socially embedded  with the in-crowd until the end. 
  • I originated and spread the idea that Abe Evvie and Deshawn were a F3. This kept me out of danger and created animosity between them and the rest of the tribe. This made me the swing vote multiple times. 
  • I actively campaigned for Shan to go out. Abe Evvie and Deshawn clearly did not want to vote her out. So I I guilted Abe into it after they voted out Sara against my wishes. 
  • I created the tribes animosity towards Sara on day one. I also weaponized Sara's intensity and channeled it towards Heather by getting Abe and Deshawn to confirm to her that Heather wanted her out. 
  • I played JR for three votes(Sara,Erik and Shan)  and convinced him I'd flip. He thought Heather voted Leslie instead of Abe during the Sara vote and I stoked that fire until he voted her out.  He never realized I was fucking with him until he was voted out.
  • The screenshot was a death sentence in the game but I kept myself out of the cross hairs. 
  • I turned on my alliance with the Sara vote and refused to do it out of principal and still convinced them to keep their trust in me. 
I have alot of thinking to do to turn all that stuff above into a plea to the jury in order to stand out . 

Ultimately, I tried to play a game that balanced being kind and loyal(kind to everyone except you Shan). I made genuine connections and maintained those to avoid my name being put on the parchment.  I know it may not have been the most entertaining game to watch, but it was authentic to my ethics and principals  as a person.

There was this moment after Heather left, 30 mins before tribal where Shan came, tail between her legs, suddenly wanting to work with me after realizing she was not in the safest position she thought. 

I keep rolling it around in my brain. Why me? And it was because she thought she was on the outs. So the first thing she did was come to me? That tells me that she perceived me as being that tribe mate who was out of the loop and that she could use me. 

That is a perfect encapsulation of how I was perceived by everyone throughout the whole game. Removed from the popular crowd. Sitting in the corner waiting for my name to come up, desperately hoping I can stay another day. 

Sara, JR, Jaime and Heather all bought into that.  The reality couldn't be farther from that. It required a lot of social meuvering to keep that perceived ambivalence. I think that was a lot harder to keep going for 30 days than Abe's steamroll approach.

The Dean is the best. Ignore the bitchy Joel McHale in the beginning and just bask in the Dean puns! 

Community is hilarious give it a whirl! 

I'll tell you a secret, I've never seen the Office. 
It should be a crime that you haven't seen the office.

First three seasons of Community are God Tier though. Hit me with your fave episode and I'll judge you harshly for it if it's from season 4 or 6.

Best community episode hands down is the one where Annie loses her pen. I think it's season 2. Runner up would be the pillow and blanket fort episode where Britta's wartime photography is all blurry and out of focus.

Hahaha I love the Spanish final episode. What's your favorite episode?

As terrible as season 6 may have been, I do love Frankie and her learning of the steel drums.

I LOVE that we both have the same fave episode. Annie's missing pen is perfection. So much great stuff in that episode. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons is also up there.

I also love the episode where it's a clip show recalling back to old moments that have happened but we've never seen. My all time favorite joke from the entire series is in that episode...
