Well hello there final 2! :)
First off, the obligatory congratulations for making it to this point. Regardless of what is said tonight, it does take some level of skill to make it to the final tribal, especially in a game that was as bonkers as this one.
However, I'm not going to lie, the first word I think of when I see you two sitting there, and the seven of us jurors sitting up here, is underwhelming.
Your speeches didn't do too much to convince me otherwise. They were pretty much just massive blocks of text summarizing (somewhat inaccurately) the events that transpired throughout the game, and told me nothing about why YOU specifically deserve to win over your opponent. I know what happened in round 10 or whatever, I was there, that does nothing to sway my opinion towards or against you.
I guess my main issue is that, I don't know either of you two! Gameplay-wise, it seemed to me that you were just coasting along off of the basis of being less of a threat than pretty much everybody else that was in the game.
And personally, I just never got to know either of you! Danielius, you've mentioned before that you played an OTT game in other ORGs, before this one. When I heard that, I was SHOCKED, because, to be frank, a lot of the time it really didn't seem like you had much of a personality at all. I'm sure you're a nice guy and everything, but in-game, you came off as stunningly vapid. And Ben, I was aligned with you for a large chunk of this game, but I really don't know much about you except that we both dislike poetry. And your ROP were hilarious! It really made me want to have known the REAL Ben, but you just never really opened up to me during the game.
While I understand that it's a two-way street, I really feel the need to KNOW the person who I'm voting for to win this thing. Not just as a competitor in a game, but as a human being. So, I have a few questions to ask you guys. Yes, some of them are just ridiculous and for fun but I would still appreciate it if you answered all of them ^_^.
1. Tell me a little bit about yourself! What are your passions in life? What's your favorite food? TV show? Who was your first celeb crush? Anything to help me get to know you better.
2. Tell me why the other finalist fucking sucks. Get NASTY. This isn't to cause drama, I just want to inject some flair into this finale, 'cause y'all's speeches were incredibly dull. Explain to me exactly why and how you played this game better than the person sitting next to you, and why you should win over them. Spill ALL the tea!
3. Tell me a funny joke, I need a good laugh today.
4. Explain in at least a paragraph (5 sentences, preferably more!) why The Queen will ALWAYS Stay Queen.
5. Compare every juror to a renaissance-era painting.
Thanks you two, and good luck! :D
