Final Week

[Natalie Cunial]

Ag. I tried my hardest but I've slept only six hours over the last two days - just was the WORST TIMING POSSIBLE. David is awesome at endurance though. Well if David takes out Ronnie, it's his fault for not evicting David. And if I go, ew.

But David's only won endurance so far, nothing else. But he and I have played the same strategy of not being a threat to the other side.

But I'd hate to be taken out when I've not missed a single eviction majority vote except Sharon and Lisa. I don't think people respect that I controlled Jen and therefore controlled the entire game. They have no idea how hard I worked the social game.

Ok I should win part 2. I know most of it. I won F4 memory stuff easy, so no reason I can't win this too.

Just waiting Julie for you to respond to my questions before I post my answers.

[Natalie Cunial]

Well part 2 was actually closer than I thought. I took great notes but I overestimated the original start date as being two days later than it really was, so everything was two days off pretty much! And ronnie's 6 day round up strategy almost worked! he made a real educated guess, but nothing compares to taking good notes.

As for part 3, I've been so busy that I barely have time to think. Luckily I read through all the old episodes a few times before all-stars so that I could look at past relationships and see what I needed to be aware of (yeah right Dan was fighting with Jordan/Janelle, lol). But even more luckily was that I took down notes of everything in the seasons just in case there was a competition about the past hehe.

I remember Season 2's Fast Forward week having trivia about series 1 I knew that past seasons are not hands off.

I hope my notes are accurate and that it gets me to the finals!

Oh my.

My jury strategy is to show people I wasn't just a nice girl laying back and sliding through, it's to show them that hell yeah, I was smart in making sure I knew when to make the right moves! I'm being a bit mean to the people asking me questions. But with Nick and Jen, I have to show that I was well aware that I was at risk and therefore both had to go, while at the same complimenting them. I'm trying for the Todd from China jury strategy. Yeah, I did it, but because you were too good! I'm not taking chances with hoping that Ronnie's jury questions will fail. I need to wow them with my fine tuned awareness of what was going on. I may lose a vote, but this vote should NOT be about "I don't want Ronnie to win, so I guess I'll vote Natalie..." it has to be "Natalie proved why she should win." I would rather lose to Ronnie and explain myself thoroughly and show that I was a gameplayer in a bitter jury than win against Ronnie by taking the easy way out and just answering softball questions to show that I played more than Ronnie (who did nothing).

So sadly, I'd be willing to be a Russell type loser than a Natalie type winner - if that's what it takes. But I didn't play like Russell, so there's no reason to worry that much. But I've been waiting for jury and I hope I do well!

[Natalie Cunial]

I'm lying a bit in my jury statements, oh my. Nothing big, but luckily my gameplay was truly kept so close to my heart, that no one can call me out on it. No one knew how I would've really played. After Sharon left, 100% trust went out the door.

But I'm trying my best to show why I deserve the win, and at this point, with Ronnie's lack of response, I think I'll get votes simply because I took a goat to the finals. I'll be interested to see how many people voted for me to win, not how many voted for Ronnie to lose. I know Laura's vote will be that. But I think that others may help me earn the win.

I didn't play the most spectacular game, but I played a solid game that was predicated D1 through astute observations. I'm not stupid. And playing Jen all the time is probably the only thing I can claim to fame.

Apparently I was the only one to not fail in all-stars for my relationship with Jen!

So sadly, my main alliances switched. But main ones were Sharon or Jen. Was real interesting as well how I aligned with Nick via Jen, but still tried as hard as possible to take him out. Also how I came into the game trying to get Jen out, aligned with her when I saw her as the pivotal turning point to getting into the power struggle. Then tried to plan behind her back, while at the same time trying to get her to take control of the game and drag me to finals. I mean, I would've gladly taken her to finals...but at same time, I felt she let me down early in game and thus the only reason I wanted to take Jen to finals was because it was the easiest win path for me Sorry Jen, it's the truth. But I was honest with you. and I stayed true in the end, but at the same time, can't say that I campaigned to get you out as well. I told you in S2 I could never fully trust you in an ORG. It was a huge burn. Had to return the favour :S

But had you won FF hoh, i would've likely stuck with you til the end.

So me trusting Jen? I did and didn't. I doubted Jen, but I also knew that I could live without her. And that lead to me evicting her.
