They are blinded by words right now so don't waste your breath .

If we're being blinded by words, can you provide more insight? Maybe we are... I'm just trying to get a full picture.

LMAOOOO I love her

I guess my confusion comes from the fact that I see a lot of comments regarding Buffy's wins not mattering and how her game was easy. Then I see all the praise for DW (and her wins) who just one day decided to latch on to us. It's not even about liking DW or being impressed she survived. It's seeing some act like Buffy had it easy while DW struggled. DW did what Buffy did when she came to our side because Buffy spent the entire game rearranging her alliances when allies would start targeting her. Each time though, she didn't ride them out like DW did, she tried to lead them. If you guys saw the purge room, it's basically DW acting like our 3rd wheel and taking our answers during challenges. Yes it's a strategy and it got her to the end, it's not wrong to want to reward that. It's the acting like it was easy for Buffy because she actually was better at leading her alliances than DW was, so we all feel bad for DW the underdog who had to survive. DW also chose to betray her allies to side with the showmance to save herself. Those same allies are quick to forgive but still seem to hold resentment towards Buffy who betrayed them when she felt they were about to betray her. Buffy apologizes for her attitude and it's meh. DW apologizes to one person and she's Jesus Christ himself for it.



I think I will stay quiet for the rest of this process because I don't want to annoy anyone with my opinions.

I hear you. This is only my second game off of twitter and I've seen this kind of thing on here than I'm used to. Backlash against the favorite. DW is performing better than expected though.

I wouldn't have wanted to sit next to Buffy or DW in the finals, frankly. I wanted DW out as much as Buffy at one point because people seemed to look at her as the second coming of christ. Wrote about this in the DR.

It doesn't surprise me that this final 2 might be a close one. I'm still leaning towards Buffy in the vote but I am openminded.

No don’t feel like you’re annoying anybody. Speak your opinions freely. But I also feel like you’re discrediting DW or rather don’t even want to see where she’s coming from. I was close to her but I’ve repeatedly acknowledged Buffys game, you are yet to do that
for dw. But also the fact that the same allies she evicted are willingly to forgive is a testament to her social game and her jury answering right now which to you are ‘just words’ we’re blinded by. Words are to be convincing. This is why jury questions exist! Although Buffy can’t articulate herself as well as DW, we’re still not discrediting her gameplay at all. To me, you’re coming across as if you’re upset that your closest ally isn’t getting an unanimous praise rn

Aaron please don't stay quiet! I want to hear what you're saying and I appreciate your perspective.

And I think that's the thing right. The rest of us weren't in that Purge chat to see maybe DW was the 3rd wheel. Why isn't Buffy saying these things. I honestly expected Buffy to assert her dominance on how she controlled the season (with your help) and I don't really see that. It's almost giving me a disconnect from what I experienced and what she experienced.

I also think the reality is that Buffy never hit the block and was up for eviction. Honestly you didn't either. You don't have that experience of needing to message people left and right to ensure you have the votes. Constantly refreshing the page to learn your fate and if your allies were really with you. Needing to come up with a play to save yourself, even if that means long speeches in the HOH thread. I commend the amount of challenges that you both have won and I'm sure that wasn't easy. But from what I see, there was some sense of fear. Mention were going against you and we go home. People finally had powers, and couldn't go against you because of the fear of the DPOV. Buffy played an aggressive game. She should own that. I don't understand why she didn't keep her foot on the gas and evict DW when she had the chance.

Also I wanted to see Buffy talk more about her relationship with you. How you guys strategised together. How she felt being targeted constantly with you. You’re saying one thing in here and she’s saying another. I want to know how she would’ve played without you here because truth be told, you were the most important part in her game.

Part of me calling her Paul was game. There was also the fact I felt like everyone would be called out when saying jerk things except DW. It's like she could say anything she wanted and people always found it funny. Neither of them so far has said anything that we don't already know. That's maybe why I'm not this impressed yet. I already knew she was the underdog. I already knew she latched on to us to get to the end. I already knew she was going to take Jim to final 2.

I hear and can comprehend DW's rationale for throwing part 3 against Buffy, but I still hate it. I understand that not everyone can rely on challenge prowess to get through anything and I can understand why one might side with Buffy under the philosophy "if you can't beat them, join them" especially if you aren't consistently winning challenges to be able to save yourself.

But damn, it's hard for me to get on that level and appreciate that kind of play. I can't relate to it myself and I would never play that way. Taking risks and being eliminated to me is far better than forcing yourself into a corner where you have to go to the finals with the biggest threat to win in the entire game.

the last part is true cuz I’m exactly the same but with Aaron and Buffy (and everybody else we all thought was their people) realistically, DW would’ve been a fool to keep fighting against them alone publicly... she would’ve been sat here in the jury and not until the F2. they could’ve not believed her and gotten her out but they didn’t ( not discrediting any party, I’m sure it was mutual benefit)
