Clay's jury speech

[Sophie Clarke]

"On a positive note, I'd like to thank Jonny and Wes for hosting a well-run game. It's just a shame it was overrun by people much too fond of themselves. To those of you vying for a returnee spot, I hope one day you will find self-worth outside of an online game."

LOL ok thank you for not participating in the final part of the game, Clay. Really shows your appreciation to Jonny/Wes and does not make you seem self-interested at all!

[Clay Jordan]

I am participating by casting a jury vote. If I was being self-interested I wouldn't even bother doing that.
I don't want to or need to have a discussion with either of you. You haven't given me any information apart from 'You suck, we're awesome'. Neither of you have given me any incentive to vote for you so I really only have my pre-existing opinions to base my vote on.

[Sophie Clarke]

I gave Tasha comprehensive and informative answers because she bothered to ask me some questions.

[Sophie Clarke]

I don't even remember ever talking to you or having a part in your elimination so I do not know why you are so angry/upset.

[Jaime Duggan]

"Neither of you have given me any incentive to vote for you so I really only have my pre-existing opinions to base my vote on."

are you serious? not to be self indulgent but come on man.

[Host JFP]

Clay if you've voted already then I don't see it in your confessional. Just sayin'

[Jaime Duggan]

what did tasha, greg and heidi do in this game that we didn't that means they should have won? i get you guys hate us and don't get our sense of humor but clearly we played amazing games.

[Clay Jordan]

I like Tasha, Greg and Heidi. That's how simple it is. Did you play an amazing game? I don't know. You say you did, but you haven't gone into specifics of what exactly you did. Sophie did a bit in Tasha's questions.
The game is to get the jury to vote for you. By badgering me, you make me not want to vote for you. Which is not an amazing way to play the game.
I don't hate either of you. I just don't like either of you.

To be fair then, if both of you want to give me a brief couple of sentences or lines about who you are as a person outside of the game then I'm happy to base my vote on that. (I had technically written my vote but the site I upload it to wasn't working so I could change it if I want.) Let's all stop with the arguments and insults. Tell me why I (me, Clay, not anyone else) would want to vote for you. Do that and I gladly will.

[Jaime Duggan]

sorry i forgot how early you were gone, you didn't really get to see any of what i did. so i'll lay it out.
1. i found the idol. this entailed posting everytime for a minute, doing a wicked hard puzzle, and starting a rumor. i told heidi you got an idol at the swap. it worked.
2. i always knew what was going on at all times. i knew you were getting voted off, but played it off like i was shocked, so people still trusted kim and kept giving her information, and kept thinking i was dumb. i executed every plan i hadi n the game. this started with
a. heidi's eviction. no brainer. even when tasha was against me and planning with her real alliance to vote me out, i had another plan. and it worked. i secured the votes to have my biggest competition eliminated, all while playing dumb to tasha's face. it also helped that i played dumb about your elimination and not really knowing who or why people "flipped" to vote you out, when i knew all along that tasha was against me. having tasha think i was still with her was key.
b. after heidi's eviction, we fought for days before i came to her with my tail between my legs and we vowed to work together again. i knew behind my backs she was planning to make a move. but i believe that the mark of a good blindside is having the people you're blindsiding obviously not knowing what you're doing. i made her believe i was voting sophie out, i was talking shit about sophie, i even posted a fake vote for sophie and screencapped it. i kept my allies tight. i even played my idol this week as a sign of trust after my allies told me to use it. i knew at that point i probably wouldn't need it and if they could think i was trusting them, greg especially. if greg thought he and sophie had gotten me to get rid of the idol, he would feel he was tighter with her than she and i were, which meant that he would for sure think he could vote me out the week after.
c. next came the greg blindside. i made a plan with zane to vote out sophie. i didn't want this going to a tie, so it was best for greg and zane to vote in opposite directions, and sophie and i take greg out. again, i knew exactly what was going to happen before it happened.
d. i won several competitions that kept me in the game.
e. i was the target the last 5 weeks of the game and i managed to get here. so i must have been doing something right.

[Jaime Duggan]

this is my life outside of the game




but forreal, i'm a nice and normal person and i think the people that actually got to know me in this game saw that. i guess most people didn't since people already voted me as "the person i won't keep in touch with" or whatever. i've also got a great sense of humor and again, that's something i don't think necessarily translated well to the people who didn't really get to know me, but i can't help that i immediately open up personalitywise to most people and if they aren't ready for that, that's just too bad.

If I was Sophie I'd have committed suicide a long time ago.

Just to clear this up, the context of the statement was (paraphrasing here): 

If you can't be smart/interesting/funny/strong, be Sophie. Sophie said she'd rather be Sophie than be Zane.

My response was NOT telling Sophie to kill herself. It was me saying that if I was as unskilled at everything as Sophie, I would kill myself. It was not an exhortation for Sophie to do the same.

I'm sorry that the comment was misconstrued.  

[Kim Spradlin]

I can't believe how bitter these bitches are being. This is so gross to watch.

If two men made it to the end, would they get the same hate? Sexist.

I don't know if you voted or not but I'll honor your wishes.

Person outside of the game: Nice! haha I don't curse people out for no reason ... unless we are playing a board game (oh my god last week's scattegories got admittedly rough). I like to bike. I like to make people happy. I have a boisterous personality and like to make people laugh. I work in non-profits, I like to help people. This game was just some release because I deal with some heavy shit at work/home.

That was my intention -- to have fun. I can see how it got misconstrued and I apologize if it ever got volatile.  It was never for an All Stars spot. It was never to be relevant (I am pretty sure making it to f2 with a day one alliance makes me relevant all on its own). It was just for fun. I got into it after the RC vote because she got so angry and it was fun getting angry back because this game got so dry with all the inactives. It proved useful once people would openly try to use me and I could just report info to Jamie and so forth.

I think you should vote for me because I kicked ass more steadily than Jamie did.
