The Jury House

Another R.I. comparison can be made in the way how everyone was afraid to talk to each other thinking it would go back to Buffy. That's another aspect that felt very R.I. to me.

And that to me feels like a testament to the death grip she had on this game. It's not like what Buffy did didn't require a ton of hard work to accomplish.

I do love the R.I. Comparison, but it makes me question did Buffy have so many people working for her because of true loyalty or because of fear. So many of us had spoke in jury saying if we had the chance we would of done it. I tried so hard going against them, but even I got to a point of I have to align with them. Buffy and Aaron just kept winning EVERYTHING! I can even admit that I would of taken the shot had I had the chance, but I don’t think I get the end because then I would of became #1 on their hit list.

I've felt for a while that it was fear that was keeping people loyal. Which is still a very viable tactic as far as I'm concerned. If I found myself in Buffy's position of power, I probably would've done the same thing using fear as a tactic. You almost have to in that position because it would be naive to think people would just be loyal to you just for the sake of being loyal.

And I think that’s where my continued disconnect with Buffy is. It’s a great tactic to use if you can, but she doesn’t see it that way. To her she was playing defense winning 5 HOHs, 1 veto, a DPOV, and a luxury comp because everyone was out to get her.

In her defense, Aaron was being loyal for the sake of being loyal lol. And it seems as if either Jim or DW had won the final HOH, Buffy was going to be done.

Aaron was Buffy's Phillip Sheppard <3 xo

Phillip seemed to be being loyal for the sake of being loyal, he was the only person that didn't seem to actually be fearful of Rob in that season.

Okay so not to be the one to defend Aaron, because lol, our history has been a roller coaster...

Buffy is a control freak and Aaron is super stubborn. The fact that they’re able to actually work together and trust each other 100% is impressive, especially in a game where even we as jurors couldn’t trust each other. I think it says a lot about how Buffy and Aaron were able to work together so naturally. Aaron is not going to be loyal to just anyone. Just saying xo

Don’t tell Aaron that lol. But I agree with you 100% and it isn’t like she was winning those comps on her own no shade. She had help which is ok. I was also taken back that she didn’t give Aaron more credit than he deserves. Does she sit in Final 2 without him? I asked her that and she didn’t answer

The jury isn’t made up of a bunch of Aaron’s sadly. Because she played such a dominant game, she should of taken Jim to the end. It seems as if Buffy was shocked that DW truly had a case which upsetted her and then that’s when Buffy essentially told DW she had no game and the only reason she sits at Final 2 is because of that conversation. Buffy calls it a mistake but then doesn’t regret it. DW did something right in terms of connecting with Buffy where she felt comfortable to share what was going on personally. I’m sure DW didn’t intentionally do that to advance, but it ended up working in her favor. She didn’t even consider speaking to Jim about it.

Well I personally think they both played pretty well.

I have no issue with either winning and it’s going to come down to personal preference.

I’m glad we did get an interesting duo though lol.

Yes they both played well! That’s why I had to ask about a tie because I don’t think it’s going to be that simple to cast this vote.

Where are the closing arguments ladies? Lol

Frankly, Buffy's final 2 performance has been pretty bad and she's the reason why this vote will probably be a lot closer than it should be. If I had played Buffy's game, it should be extremely easy to make a compelling case on why she should win and it seems like she's stumbling over into a series of coffee tables and chairs trying to convey that message. It's being muddled with these petty arguments about nonsense and needless attacks on DW. I sure as hell would've been able to form an argument on why I should win if I played the way Buffy played without needing to resort to these stupid arguments that are happening.

That being said, I think Buffy still played an undeniably dominant game and even though DW outperformed expectations, it's really hard for me to ignore Buffy's in game dominance.

Im so eager to get all the votes so I can speak on this final 2 performance sksksk. Final 2 performances was one of my strong suits when I played so I have a bunch of opinions. Ive won games I shouldn't have won over my F2 performance in the past.
