#6443 Hey Dale,

Final 5!
Tell me about that tribal. It was definitely a lot more lively than the previous round. Did it tell you anything that you didn't already know?

What's your plan for these next two rounds? Who is next in line to go, and how will you make it happen?

We talked about it last round, but what are your thoughts on the jury and this f5? How do you see yourself stacking up against everyone else in the final vote?

What odds do you give yourself on making it to the end?

Nah, it went down pretty much how I expected it. Nad told me about the idol right before tribal, didn't know there would be two. She Parvatied the fuck out of that.

I don't even know. This end game is a lot less exciting than I thought it would be. Maybe because I feel like I can't really win. Um, haven't really decided.

Well I think I won't get votes but that's okay. I've known Nad was playing a near perfect game for a while, but I wasn't gonna vote her out and leave myself vulnerable.

Eh, I'd rather go home next or 4th than go to finals. It's been fun for the most part, but I'm not really enjoying it that much anymore. Might be my depression kicking into gear, might be the fact that I spent 3 days away from here and just feel super disconnected now.

Hope I get some recognition from the hosts though, I think I've been at least a bit more fun character than the rest of these people.

#6526 Hey Dale, it sounds like you're giving up a little. Is this the case? Is there really no way to beat Nadiya?

There's a way, she's been out of the loop a couple times but I know the jury is gonna love her going in, so I'll be fighting an uphill battle. And I really don't want it to be a goat vs goat vs goat final 3

#6531 Well I dunno about you but a goat that kills the wolf, becomes more than just a goat.

Speaking if which, what makes you so sure that you're a goat?

Yeah true...But I'd rather lose to Nad than lose to Val or Jac.

I never thought I was, I honestly thought I was playing good. But when the jury hates you, then you're the Russell Hantz goat, the worst of them all.

Just popping in to say I totally know this feel and I know first hand how bad it sucks to feel that way.

It's so close to the end, just have fun with it. It's so much better to finish the game on a high note and have fun with it rather than feel down in the dumps and leave this game with a bad taste in your mouth.

Thanks, glad to know others have felt like this. I'm gonna have fun with it. Maybe I'll even win, but I'm not counting on it. I'm gonna vote for So tomorrow and then tell the other two idiots to vote out Nad otherwise they have no shot. If they vote me out, I'll make sure to talk Nad's game up as much as possible.

#6545 Just remember, this is your first game! I feel like this is your warm up Daley boy. No one gets their first game perfect, there's always something to learn from and improve upon :)

Also, you have a lot to say to the jury, more than maybe any of the other players. You've gotten your hands the dirtiest and there's something to be said for taht. Not everyone could do that. I think Russell Hantz gets discredited too often as a loose cannon when actually he had a truly remarkable ability to sniff out a weakness and attack. Not the best strategy but something to be said for it. You can't be a complete dummy and repeatedly dupe everyone in the game...

I think that if you are defeating yourself you have already lost. You need to find the unique traits in your game and play them up :) Because i know you have done a lot, you haven't sat by and let the game happen, so there's something to be said for that.

That's what I'm gonna tell the jury. Like it or not, me and Nad steered the direction of this game basically from start to finish. Nad did a way better version of it, not to mention her immunity wins and idols but I'm responsible for a lot of the people leaving the game. At the same time, I tried to connect with people throughout the game, I didn't do a great job of that but at least I wasn't a complete asshole like Dan.

Maybe the jury will give me the win, maybe they'll give it to Val, either way overall I'm proud of the game I played. I'm not delusional like Russell thinking that I'm gonna win, I know I have a 90% chance of losing but hey, that 10% might be enough.

Taking out Nadiya is the only play I have, but I have to do it at F4.

Because if I'm with Val/Jac/So in the final 4 I will be blindsided.

#6810 Hey Dale!
You're so close! icon_mml icon_chaos icon_mml

Who do you think you can win against in this f4?
Are you thinking about your ftc performance yet, or are you still more focused on getting there?

I think I could win against Val and Jac if I do an amazing job convincing the jury. But chances are very slim. I'm honestly not really expecting more than 1 pity vote.
