Cassandra, was there ever a point in the game when you did not have any influence on the vote?

No.

Don't you think you benefited from bigger threats going home before you though? Are you just one of the leftover "least threatening" players?

Make the case that you played a strong premerge game.

Immediately in this game I formed a quick alliance based on strength-in-numbers with Courtney, you, Katie, Rory and Wigles. After we got through that first super-quick double-vote twist, we were able to squeeze those numbers down. I had you/Katie/Courtney and I had Catalie/Katie. I chose to go with you and Courtney because I felt like that were the long-term game was heading, but I kept my relationship with Katie in tact. Also, Catalie scared me.

This is where I had to really work. The switches. You and I were alone in Becky 2.0, plus we had Rory who we had just voted out. I was able to create relationships with Vytas, Andrea, and Candice which would help me out later. We voted out Tammy and Sophie and even though I fully expected to be on the bottom side of things, I was never in real danger.

In 3.0, the relationship I made with Candice (and re-made with Rory) helped us get the voted against Penner. But Candice got a bit flip-flopped on us and we were able to get Ozzy to flip. I can't take credit for this one; though I do believe my prior conversations with Ozzy helped.

I won't beat a dead horse too much, but I think pre-merge I did the best of the three of us. It was the twistiest pre-merge I've ever been in, and I did not end up with good dice rolls on the switches, but I still pushed through, survived, and was in the majority every time.

How would you explain how you entered the merge? I was on a tribe with three people I didn't know, who were all opposed to someone I did know, and I entered the merge being the only one allied with every single person on my tribe. Plus I had Ozzy, plus I was on relatively good terms with Sarah, Lil, and Rory. Assuming you were exposed to as many different people as I was, why did your name continue to be thrown out through the first few rounds of the merge, more so than Rudy's or Ozzy's? Losing immunity challenges is part of it, but it only accounts for so much.

I can definitely throw it back on you. Your name was a popular target too in the early pre-merge. I can't say whether or not I was a bigger target then Ozzy or Rudy. I would probably disagree but then again no one is gonna tell me, obviously From what I gathered from people telling me what others said, I was always considered the third/fourth wheel and that's about where I wanted to be for that time-frame.

I feel like my name being thrown around is not a strong argument against me winning the game. I also don't think it's an argument for saying I didn't make the relationships I said I did. People are gonna talk, can't stop that either way.

Yul, you're more vocal tonight than you have been collectively at every council, was that by design? Did you hide too far in the shadows?

Dude, just shut the fuck up.

I say that with love.

Hey, you're the expert in shutting the fuck up.

...

I was definitely in a defensive as-long-as-ain't-me mode.

No.

you sure bro?

I'd say the "bigger threats" were Vytas, Rudy, and maybe Ozzy (would have said Andrea if the jury hadn't soured on her). I was instrumental in taking them all out. I wasn't "leftover," I took down anyone in my path.

Yul, you're more vocal tonight than you have been collectively at every council, was that by design? Did you hide too far in the shadows?

Alright, let's come back to this.

I was mainly quiet during tribal councils because no one talked to (or about) me, including the hosts. At one point you picked on me for being quiet but up until that point, 25 minutes in, you hadn't said a word to me.

I don't think there was ever a point I was in such danger that I needed to go hog-wild at tribal council.

I don't think I hid too far in the shadows at all but I guess we'll see

Sarah, are conceding you may have lost and are trying to help Cassandra beat Yul?

[Jeff Probst]

- Mon Aug 28, 2017 3:56:43 am #10398 I'm harping on everyone's biggest criticisms tonight.

So Sarah, I'll go back to it again... was your position a result of your poor social game or are you misunderstood? What possible argument can you make that can overcome your lack of social game?

[Liliana]

- Mon Aug 28, 2017 3:56:53 am #10399

Liliana, is there someone who you would like to see fight more an what exactly aren't they doing to get your vote?

I don't think they realize this is a FIGHT not some kind of bragging contest. I've heard SO MANY positive things about all of you, from yourselves, and its all kind of swirling together. Tell me the NEGATIVES. why shouldn't i vote for someone right now. cass, why are you better than yul? he got where he is, despite being vulnerable at 6 more tribal councils. is he a better player than you??
yul, what is sarah even doing?? does she have a shot? howd she get here??
sarah, i love you but the jury seems convinced cass is a better player than you, maybe because we've only heard her praising herself and criticizing you. flip the script and do the same!! should cass be here??

This brings up a point I want to make. I am not a hide in the background kind of person. I'm upfront. I make sure people notice me. I make sure I'm heard. I fight to be here. I deserve to win because I was always present. I never just existed or benefitted from other people being louder or brighter than me.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being defensive. Sometimes you get the numbers, sometimes you don't. I did not have the numbers, so I needed to ensure someone else (anyone) left so I had time to really dig myself in. It turned out that you made the move against Tammy and I was able to create some solid relationships off of that, all of which I used later (including Rory).

[Cassandra]

- Mon Aug 28, 2017 3:59:06 am #10402

you sure bro?

Cass. tell us more about you secretly masterminding Brendas boot

Whoops, I'll admit I did forget Brenda when listing off the "bigger threats" than me. I didn't take her down obviously.

But I did see myself as "influential" because I had discussed Mia vs. Lil with Brenda and other people, and was with the majority in voting Lil. As far as Brenda going, of course I wasn't influential in that, but I will say that she was a shield to me around that time and that probably prevented it from being me who was idoled out.

[Liliana]

- Mon Aug 28, 2017 3:59:26 am #10403 all 3 of you deserve to win. but just saying that doesnt convince me. why do the others NOT?

Cass. tell us more about you secretly masterminding Brendas boot

Sarah, are conceding you may have lost and are trying to help Cassandra beat Yul?

On the contrary, she's calling out Cass' arrogance in thinking she controlled and influenced every vote. Hi Brenda.

Sarah is shooting at both Yul and Cass as she should. You're doing great sweetie.

I don't think she has as strong of a shot as myself or Cass, but don't count her out. Everyone has a shot until it's over. She got here because she never quit, she capitalized on the opportunities she was given and she was honest.

Also, because of Cassandra.

[Jeff Probst]

- Mon Aug 28, 2017 4:01:19 am #10407 Vytas, was Cassandra the "mastermind" while you were still in the game?

[Jeff Probst]

i'm not going to vote for you because you compliment other people
