Okay fuckers. I want to point out some things in your opening statements that have made me a bit fidgity and upset. KURTIS- im not totally sure what that video confessional really showed me. You basically told me i was stupid... which is wrong i think. Your basis of my 'stupidity' was that i cut off Jacob. But what is really funny is i didn't, the round i went i approached him in a fit of fury because i was over you and joe. I told him i would use my switch vote to vote you out. 100% i would have done it, hands down. But he basically said no. Im not saying i was a smart player, i clearly made some mistakes. But really... why on earth would you openly call some of us stupid and expect our vote? jeez.
Joe- 'bye the grace of the survivor gods our blue tribe didnt go to tribal again til merge' Id like to take mother fuckin credit for one of those wins your dumb team won. We both know i threw that scrabble challenge. Kthnx. Also, i never intended to vote you billy or rich out, apart from TJ i trusted you three the most. So dont give me that dumb ass bullshit. Your awful. Your heartless. And those 'personal' bonds were fake as fuck. But im so very glad you've 'proved to yourself' that you can make final tribal council, 'friend'. Really. I am.
This game was truly awful for me on multiple levels. I can say, and i think i can proudly say, that i do not play games that two of you have played. I care about people, and i'd rather not stab a friend in the back for the sake of an online game. Maybe that's why i suck and sit here at 10th and the three of you sit there at FTC. I've searched my brain high and low to find out what i should be basing my vote on. Should i be bitter? Should i vote for my biggest friend? (hint, that person is Rich) Should i just say fuck it and go with a pick a number question to make my vote a random one?
Honestly, i'm still unsure. And I do hate to be bitter, but it's hard not to I suppose what can i say i play emotionally. So, i've decided to base my vote on a question that will hopefully determine my vote. One aspect of this game that i hold in high respect is the social one. Sure being cutthroat gets you to the end, but you get there with a very angry jury, so being nice pays off. I think being extremely social will win you this game. That is how i try to play. Being social to me means getting to know your competitors and caring about them, and only backstabbing them when it is necessary. So that is who i will be voting for, the best social player who actually cared about the others in the game. Two of you played russel-like games. and i just don't know if i can support that. With my question tho, maybe you can prove that your heart didn't grow cold in this game, and you truly cared/got to know some of us jurors.
So here is my question:
Go through each Jury and name something you found out about them during the course of the game. I'd like if you said something that most of the people in this game wouldnt know. So if you say you know that im a CA in my college, go fuck yourself and say something more unique. Whoever knows the most about the other players in this game will win my vote.
Joe, no need to answer this.

CODY you straight up told Jacob you wanted SASSY OUT. WHAT STRATEGY WAS THAT!?! You can be angry at my candidness, but you did NOT play a smart game. You had -so- much power with that vote control and you completely wasted it. If you can't look beyond my honesty and choose to vote based on that, so be it. And honestly, you talking to Jacob about voting me out and him saying "no" shows how I was playing... You could have asked Sassy, Joe, Rich, Billy, or Zavi to vote me out that round and each one of them would have told you "no" too. You and others didn't vote me out because the bonds I made did not let you. John is having a hard time with the distance. He also holds a chemical engineering degree and works in the food industry. He isn't thrilled with his job. He met up with a group of ORGers a while back and partied it up in Chicago. Cody stayed with his sister in California for the summer but goes to school in Pennsylvania. He enjoys jim bean... I honestly talked to you less than anyone else, so that's all I got. Jacob just started seeing a younger guy who he is happy about. He's done escort work and is proud of it. He LOVES his little brother and sticks up for him constantly. He lives near to his parents with a group of girls and just got a new job. Billy is in a committed relationship and lives with a GUY (yes... I validate that he is, in fact, gay). They both embody pacsun (lolol). He works at an airport and obviously enjoys outdoorsy kind of activities that I wouldn't be caught dead participating in. Bryan is a VIRGIN (still so shocked) who can party hard, most recently waking up after a night of partying in someone's yard. He dresses nicely to work so that his straight coworkers (some of which aren't bad to look at) notice his attire. TJ is an ecology major from Minnesota going to school in Utah. He traveled to Mexico with a professor and a group of students to study ecological... stuff (don't remember exactly... something to do with birds). He looks KILLER in drag ( ) and complains that he is out of shape but looks damn good to me... Sassy works for a bank in Canada. She gives excellent financial/investment advice. She lives with her parents and is stoked about a Europe trip in the near future. I think she's actually going on a cruise even sooner... basically I'm extremely envious of her travel plans. She was once engaged to a dude and is currently seeing someone in her mutual group of friends. Zavi is a pizza boy!! He wants to work for hotels outside of Slovakia and plans on going to school to do so. He dated a chick who ended up doing really well for a "slovakia's got talent" kind of game show. While this was fun, and if you -truly- are voting on who got to know each player the best, I am confident that I would get your vote, I would contest that this has nothing to do with the game. I was ACTUALLY interested in each person that I played with and wanted to get to know them, so all of this information and the information I gave to each of you really doesn't exist within the game at all.

Just going to throw in what TJ sent me via skype a while back. If he doctored it then kudos to him for having me believe it!
[8/14/2013 12:53:09 AM] T.J.: Well here's the tging 8/12/13 10:54 PM They all say that 8/12/13 10:54 PM But there's a slow forming Joe mutiny T.J. 8/12/13 10:55 PM With who? Cody 8/12/13 10:55 PM Shush shush. Top secret 8/12/13 10:55 PM Rich for sure. He is starting not to trust Joe as much 8/12/13 10:55 PM I have spoken to Billy in awhile cause he's camping or something 8/12/13 10:56 PM But I've been trying to plant anti-Joe seeds T.J. 8/12/13 10:56 PM Why doesn't Rich trust him? Cody 8/12/13 10:56 PM And with Joe constantly telling the other side shit. It won't be too difficult 8/12/13 10:56 PM Because of how shady joe is 8/12/13 10:57 PM Like the 'if he can lie that well to them. He can to us too' type things 8/12/13 10:57 PM There's always that 'I trust him tho' thing 8/12/13 10:58 PM But really. I'm sure we could get Joe out later 8/12/13 10:58 PM Rich n Billy both also dislike that Joe is always protecting Jacob 8/12/13 11:00 PM This is why in hesitant to flip. Bc I see them doubting each other.

K, so basically im stupid for cutting Jacob off and willing to never work with him. And now im stupid for actually trying to gain Jacob's trust with who i wanted out of the game. Granted that person was one of his closest allies... but still. I guess im just a 100% idiot!
I'd like to believe the main reason i left was because i was not willing to vote out Billy. Had i agreed, used my switch vote with Jacob n Co. i'd like to think i would still be in the game. But i couldn't do that to Billy. Sorry im a loyal player with more than 50% honesty in me.
But really Kurtis, thank you for you -very- kind answers. Really.
This is your vote to win Rich, don't fuck it up.

Kurtis i have another question for you.
Your so cocky that you played the best game. But in my eyes, (and other jurors have said this.. i think) you and Joe basically played the same goddamn game. I think someone asked this, but fuck if im reading more of this hell-game than i need to. But why wouldnt you target Joe at f4?
Seems to me Joe would be the smarter one seeing as you two controlled the entire game the whole time. And he targets you at f4 to secure his win. Why did you not try and target him? OR did you not target him for the fact that it would be impossible for you to get votes against him. Yet it seems he would have had the votes to get you out at 4th?
I might be reiterating things, and i apologize if i am. But shed some light on this final four that i seem to be missing.

Because jurys are very bitter at times, Cody. So bitter that they may not realize their own stupidity got them voted out of the game and they tell the final 3 member who CLEARLY did very little to get himself to the top three it's his to lose. Zavi and Rich are very similar. I'd rather have someone who played the game hard and made enemies than two people who coasted and get votes like this.
It would have been simple for me to get Zavi to vote for him and force the tie, obviously. I chose not to. If I had lost the challenge, he and Zavi would have voted for me and Rich and I would have voted Zavi. I am, however, really good at challenges for the most part. The only two challenges I put any effort into post merge I won. There was never any need for me to win challenges prior to that.

Joe, ill give you a chance to try and earn my vote. Someone has already lost his.
Again, it seems you and Kurtis have played almost identical games. Howerver, your downfall could be prior freindships. Me, Jacob, and Sassy. Now here is your chance to tell me and the rest of the jury what you did that Kurtis did not do. How Kurtis failed and you prevailed. In my eyes, other than you possibly losing friendships and maybe Kurtis being stronger in challenges, i STILL don't see any difference in you two. Obviously i went out too early to really know how the game went and such, which is why im asking this. Bc in my eyes, you and Kurtis had the same goddamn brain. You both made desicions together, you both had your pawn pieces who would follow you... so are you two twins or what?

Kurtis and I are not twins. The reason we were able to work together was that we definitely were rational and flexible with one another. He wanted Bryan/John/T.J. gone the first merged tribal. I wanted the first vote to be Bryan or John. Because of my relationships with Sassy and Jacob I knew that pushing working against them straight out was not the right way. Thanks to working with your side we were able to vote out John successfully while still keeping T.J. and Bryan. Forces who I thought would hopefully go after others before me.
I prevailed over Kurtis because I was able to work in the game and completely make it so that everyone wanted to sit with me in the end. My "bloody" hands are a welcome sight for anyone who wants to have a chance at winning this game. According to them and other jurors, sitting next to me automatically increases Rich/Kurtis' chances. I made it to the end the only way I knew how given the amount of relationships I had to balance throughout the game.
This was probably not the answer you wanted to hear but it is definitely how Kurtis and I are different. He won immunity to get here. Everyone else wanted to bring me. I was brought to the end for my loyalty to Rich and for my blood stained game with Kurtis.

Hi Cody,
I hope you decide who to vote for, based on what you think is best. I want to let you know that I will not be hurt if you do not vote for me to win. I realized on a personal level, I enjoyed being your friend and connecting with you. However, I failed to save you the time you needed to be saved. Unfortunately, I did not really have any power in the game, so I did what I could but was not successful. I want you to be content with how you vote and not "waste" your vote, so please, do what you need to do and I will not take it personally. Just know that.
John was smart and I feel that he respected the game of survivor, the competition part of the game. And probably the social part too...
Cody, we had conversations and text messages while you were stuck in between airports. You like your liquor that's for sure. You are a resident advisor (RA?) at your school.
Jacob, he made a "let's work out together" video? but I guess everyone knew that....
Billy, in a committed relationship. Currently happy.
Bryan, finance or marketing graduate? Has a full time job....
Sassy, read and not sure if she has seen Mortal Instruments, but we bonded about that.....she was looking forward to see that movie too.
TJ, attends The University of Utah and has not been to a gymnastic meet!!!! how can you? It's the UTES!!!
Zavi, he's a sweetheart and a heartthrob. He does not like pork or beef meat, but eats chicken meat.
Good luck in your decision Cody. Hope we can chat soon.
