Jacob, the day I was voted out you said something about "not get along with a vote if that were against me" and yet you voted me out that day. You knew I wasnt voting for u bc Mister AJ over there knew Kolby were getting votes that day, So why did u said that when you were voting me out? That wasnt jury management.
At the point I said I wouldn't have gone along with the vote if it was you, that was referring to the Jackson vote which had just occurred. If I knew you or Jackson was getting idoled out, I was not going to be happy and just go along with that. I was blindsided by that vote and was not happy because Jackson and you were people I could see myself working with down the line, we'd been on post-swap Vaitupu together and I felt like we had potential for good working relationships.
The aftermath of the Jackson vote was kind of a turning point though, and I had to protect myself. I still didn't want to vote for you, AJ and I were pushing for our "side" at that point to vote for someone else, but Kelly and Will wanted it to be you, and that was the round where we needed to make sure Kolby was on board, and he said he would do you, so it just settled on you. And since I had just gotten mad at the people I was working closely with about the Jackson vote, I figured I had to take more of a backseat and go with the flow once the target settled on you. I didn't want anyone to lose trust in me for fighting too hard to keep you, especially because my name had been thrown around that day, and I still did get 1 vote at that tribal even if the majority of your "side" settled on Kolby. I was still a little worried that I would get more votes, AJ had just voted Jackson so I wasn't sure his information was the most reliable, there could've been a plan in place to take me out that he wasn't aware of.
So I mean you're right, it wasn't great to say "I wouldn't have voted for you" and then vote for you, but the circumstances in the game changed between my statement and my vote, and I had to do what was best for me moving forward.
So why Miss deserves to be on the FTC? The person who best kiss my ass wins my vote. (kidding :) - maybe not too much)
You deserved to be in the FTC because you played a good social game without ever putting too much of a target on your back. There were people like Jackson and Will S who were facing more of the backlash from people like Kelly in the first few rounds of the merge, and you were never going to be the immediate target when the first strike was made. You were positioned well, and if Kelly hadn't successfully played his idol, you probably would've been sitting here because you had good relationships with people on both sides. Unfortunately for you, once Jackson left the course of the game changed, and since you were well positioned that ended up being your downfall.
