Before the day is over, the jury will begin casting their votes for the winner of this game.
Before they do, however... some of them have questions for our finalists!
Welcome to the Jury Questioning segment of the finale!
I asked the jury to come up with some questions for the finalists, and then I asked the finalists to answer them!
Here are all of the questions and answers!
-Jury Questions-
Our first question is from Nick. He asked BOTH finalists...
“At what point in the game did you realize you needed me gone?”
Cray answered...
“Probably week 1 or 2 if I’m being honest, the main reason I initially got into contact with you was because I saw you as a comp threat/ being connected to a lot of people, instead of getting you out right away i started getting rid of your allies. When we formed our alliance I did have loyalty to you up until that point where you Flipped but I always knew taking you to far in the game was going to be detrimental to my game.”
Jenah answered...
“Hey Nick!
Soooo it all started when you created that five person alliance with Cindy, Jay H, Val, you & I.
I felt like I was the fifth wheel (spare wheel) and no one wants to be the spare wheel.
So then Jay H approached me about his concerns of the 5 person alliance and I agreed with him and then we both went to further let Cray know what's going on and then I guess it was full force targeting you/your alliance.
Then when I won that HOH at F8, I nominated Tico/Val with the intended target to be eliminated being Val BUT then I was like I knew you had that power to save yourself for a week so I was going to attempt to backdoor you that week BUT Cindy didn't budge with regards to using the POV to save Val and then I didn't get to nominate you at F8! WHICH, in hindsight, was lowkey a blessing since the next week someone got to return and it would've very likely been you that returned!
So yeah, long story short once that 5 person alliance was created, that's what I was like I need to get you out because you had a lot of social connections and people who trusted you. I had to just get you out to further my game as well as that Ticket Competition, I wanted to ensure that 1 of Cray/Jay H/Me won it, I just had a feeling that power was gonna be huge which it was and I truly do believe if you had a chance to get it and did get it that you would've made Final 3.”

Our next questions are from Jay H. He asked Cray...
“Cray if it was me and Tico in the final 2, who would you vote for and why?”
Cray answered...
“I would 100 percent vote for you , you actually played this game really hard. Not only that but tico and I did not leave off on good terms. He isn’t even willing to have a conversation with me at this point”
Jay H also asked Jenah...
“Jenah if it was me and Jay A in the final 2, who would you vote for and why?”
Jenah answered...
“Not me having to pick between my two Jay's! Well, this is a very tough decision and it's gonna get me in trouble lol. So I am going to try to give as neutral of a response as possible WHILST also answering your question. So, it would come down to how you guys describe your gameplay and what got y'all to F2.
BUT, considering I had close relationships with both of you....there's a reason I got you out before Jay A. I did find you more threatening Jay H because of your *almost* perfect social game and being good at comps as well. I would have to reward your gameplay with a win Jay H.
So I would vote you in that sense and I am not just saying that to butter you up so you vote for me. I truly think you played a great game. Not discrediting Jay A's game either, just that he was more reserved with his gameplay whilst you were more out there making more moves imo.”

And finally, our last questions are from Tico. He asked Cray...
“Cray when you evicted me you said its because it's what jenah wanted and now you brought her to f2 despite her being clearly the best player so why should the jury vote for you when you were jenahs sheep and did whatever she wanted and then passed up the opportunity for a big move to take her out and take the lesser competitor jay to f2?”
Cray answered...
“First of all that is not true , I told u that the votes to keep you weren’t there and that you were going home regardless of what I did. I don’t regret saving mason over you that round either, my relationship with mason came in clutch the next round because I was able to convince him to evict Hayden.
As for calling me a sheep you couldn’t be father from the truth. I never once did anything that I didn’t want to do, for example not nominating you when jenah , jay and Hayden were all telling me too.
In fact It would be a more accurate statement if you were to say that jenah was actually my sheep. As soon as my name would come up she would instantly run to me and tell me about it, at which point I was able to convince her to turn on her own alliance to ensure my own safety. When it came to final 7 jenah was dead set on nominating Jay H who was actually my f2 this game and I was able to convince her to keep him safe, all the way up to final 4, which at the point it became either me or him going home…. I stayed :)
One of my biggest strengths in this was game was my ability to have everyone working for me without anyone suspecting other wise. Time and time again people would say jay and jenah are final 2 , jay and Hayden close af, jenah and Hayden have some sort of deal going on. Never was it cray and jenah or cray and jay. Both of whom I was closest too. I nominated 4 out of 8 people in one round , and because of that they were the next 4 people to go. Not because jennah wanted them gone but because I needed them gone for my own game.
Yes jennah won comps but you can’t forget that I actually won more hoh’s than her, not only that but I was also the last person to be nominated by another player this game at f4 and that was only because of pov default.
I played a nearly flawless game compare to Jennah who played a very reckless game and made a lot of mistakes. Because of her reckless gameplay and poor jury management I felt that taking her to the end over jay, was a smarter play. Who had played it safe the entire time.”
Tico also asked Jenah...
“Jenah if you won final comp would you have brought cray to the end?”
Jenah answered...
“Hey Tico!
Thanks for your question!
Yes! I would've absolutely brought Cray to the end! Why? Because he made the same amount of enemies as me with regards to us both winning a lot of comps especially HOH's resulting in a lot of the jurors evictions. I knew if I took Jay A to the end, the jury would vote him to win because he made less enemies due to him winning less comps and that the jury would respect his social game bringing him far. So I would've definitely brought Cray to the end as I feel it's more up in the air with regards to who could win.”

That concludes Jury Questioning!
We are getting very close to the moment we have all been waiting for! There’s just one last thing we need to do before the Jury can begin voting.
As we speak, the final 2 are preparing one last speech to you stating why THEY deserve to win this game over the person sitting next to them! Once I have both of their speeches, I’ll create another blog...
And then it will be time.
Once the final 2 have pleaded their cases one last time, the Jury will OFFICIALLY begin casting their votes for the winner!
candy_land I messaged you and it took a long ass time for you to respond when you were at zero and during that few hours was when I answered jay H’s question. It’s wasn’t a lie, you are right tho you did eventually decided to have a conversation with me but I wouldn’t say it was a good conversation.
