May I interject? What's in a threat, really. Would a goat by any other name still be viewed so weak? These are buzzwords that have been hurled around, even to contrary measures ALL game. What is really in these names. Nothing, they're just convenient weapons, especially when they come out so quickly.
either you view someone as a threat to you winning, so you vote them out, or you view someone as not a threat and assume everyone will want to take them to the end instead of you, another threat. To count anyone out as not a threat is simple-minded, especially when everyone left has been as active as they are.

Well the jury can only see what they see. What's obvious. Unless you're really good at explaining yourself in the finals which as we know is a tossup at best.

Indeed it is Jono, indeed it is :hug:

In my mind I have burned upwards of half the jury and even with horrible jury management I'm still viewed as the biggest player left. I can't win for shit and I have no idols. I am not the ideal boot for anyone except Monika/

That is true. But there will always be a monster that needs to go. If it's Mo tonight, it's someone else tomorrow.

Fact is this is F7, not F2. What everyone thinks is going to happen is irrelevant, it's all about what will happen.

I'm done with the riddles but I know shit.

One of the greats....Boston Rob, Sandra, Hatch, or Rohan McLaren once said you can only win one of two ways in Survivor:

1. Being the most mediocre person out there such that you don't get picked off for being weak in the premerge
2. Convincing someone to vote against their own best interest

If you're doing that, and having read the above...I've got some bad news.

Y'all gotta wake up. Voting me out is taking out a player that is literally open to ANYTHING. If you really think that keeping Moana over me is a good move for your game, then by all means do it. I'm just letting you know that if you do keep her, your judgments are going to look very questionable to when the 2 or 3 of you that are with Moana are presented in front of the jury

There's also still a lot of game left to be played and a lot of people still left to make up the jury, so I think anyone can make a case for themselves heading into the home stretch.

Not in my eyes, not tonight. Everyone has their own reasons for voting the way they are tonight.

You've gotta go about things logically and remember what stage of the game this is.

Correction 1 or 2 of you, but you get the point

Do you actually think you're going to get someone to switch their vote at tribal?

At the end of the day I think all of us left are a threat in some way. I think any one of us could win against any combination of us depending upon how the jury is feeling, how forgiving they are etc. All we can control is our game moving forward.
