Hi

[eric]

Hello ladies, sincere congrats to you both for making it to the end. I have no reason to be bitter at either of you, so I'm not....but neither of you make me feel warm inside either. My vote is completely up for grabs

Aaryn, my issue with giving you my vote is mainly this statement: "...when I was gunning for you, you knew it and I tried to be straight up about my nominations".
I don't think your reasoning for nominating me at the final 10 or final 9 were "straight up". I think both speeches were copouts and horribly transparent. So if you want my vote, give me some genuine reasons or convince me those were genuine.

Jen, you never really entertained me all season, so if you want my vote, you're gonna need to change that and show some dedication. I've got a little challenge for you. Compare all the jury members to a character from the tv show Lost. Give me some good reasons for your character assignments. Sorry if you've never watched the show, but that's the challenging part. And if you have never have seen the show, I suggest looking at the characters page on Lostpedia.

You're supposed to make your own juror thread

Hey Eric,

Both statements I made during my nominations were true. The F10 nominations had a bit of behind the scenes factors which led to you going up, but the F9 was definitely 100% real, I was told you rallied people to nominate me and I needed to return the favor back in order to keep my safety for the week.

For the F10, Hayden was already going up 100%, that was a done deal when he stupidly declined my offer to align myself with him. What he also told me was that he felt trapped by you during the Jocasta vote, because he was too afraid to make a move against you in fear of the the repercussions. Around that time, rumors were also swirling of a guys alliance in Westminster (you, Steven, Hayden + Danielle as a fourth voter) and that honestly scared the shit out of me, because I knew you and Steven could run this game if you worked for it. While i wasn't 100% sure that the rumors were true, I had to take the shot anyway -- there wasn't any chance of me putting up Kensington people, so you Danielle and Steven were the two I was considering. Talking to my alliance and Kensington friends, they all suggested for you to go up next to Hayden and so all these factors were why you went up. I honestly didn't care if you won veto, since Steven was going to be the replacement and one of them would go home.

So yes, I did ask people and they suggested you go up. Yes, I did wish you luck in the veto since it didn't really matter who won it in my mind -- as long as it wasn't Steven. I chose to hide some of the reasoning, yeah because I think it would have blown up my game if I provided more reasoning than what I did. I didn't want to face backlash from you like Jocasta did. Hayden saying that he was scared of you -- even was he was supposedly one of your allies scared the crap out of me, because I knew you were a comp beast and that if I didn't try and break you three up then my chances of making it further would be decreased significantly. But no, I didn't nominate you because I hated you, the main point of my nominations was to break up you three guys and you were just the better choice out of you and Steven to put up.

For the BBUK week, that nomination reason I provided was 100% genuine, it was a little sarcastic but I meant every word I said to you. I hadn't even gotten around to deciding who to nominate -- I hadn't talked to Zach, Jen or Peter when Danielle pretty much told me straight up that you had been going around begging people to put me up (Sabrina later confirmed the same thing happened to her as well). Knowing I was at risk of going up and knowing you had the sit out to use on me for the veto, I knew if I didn't get people to put you guys up I was basically screwed. So I rallied up my Kensington alliance (Jen, Zach, Sabrina, Peter and I tried with Danielle) and pushed hard for you and Steven to go up. That was it, you tried to come for me so I returned the favor and pushed for people to nominate you and your biggest ally. It was a close vote and honestly, if I didn't do it I know I would have gone home that week.

I hope this helps you understand why I nominated you both times. The F10 week I wasn't necessarily gunning for you in particular, just your alliance but by the F9 week I was and I think you knew that when you used the sit out power on me at the veto.

Sorry Eric I wasn't going to ignore you.. unfortunately I can't do your challenge, I've never seen the show, it's really hard to pick a character that fits everyone here without knowing their personality... I could go make a list based on appearance but that would be really lame but I think you were expecting your own comparison lol... so I'm just going to do it and compare you as ...




that's right JACK! <33 it's pretty obvious from what I remember from the trailers that's he's the island kingpin and the one calling the shots! that's what you reminded me of Eric. You were in control of your house, of your guy alliance.. that's why I feel Jack fits you !

as for the others it's really hard to say..
Sabrina reminds me of Emilie de Ravin's character probably for the drama queen, "teenybopper" vibes

and if Evangeline Lilly and Fox had a love/hate relationship on the island ...then Lilly probably reminds of me... Jocasta! <33
because I always pictured you and Jocasta as the King and Queen of this game! and as much as you two were picking on each other, I'd like to think it was all flirt and no hate! <333 it was cute to watch!
