-Judgement 03-

I'm voting for you because quite frankly, you don't know how to keep your mouth shut. You're obviously desperate to do well and NOT be the first boot, that you're overplaying the game in the first few rounds. What I think you fail to realize, is that people talk. Yes, you did well at setting up connections and relationships between your fellow tribemates, but you forget that you're not the only one to relay info to people, and that people compare notes, and realize you talk to us all in the same manner, at the same time, and in the same tone. Believe me honey, people have noticed and that will be your undoing. I don't know why you gave up your All-Stars position to play this game, then proceeded to royally flop. I'm sorry this had to happen, but next time: calm your tits.


~Laela~

"Oats a la Laaaaaela, you're a good friend and a fierce competitor. I'm sorry to do this to you, but you're all for tribal unity, right?"

[ben]

-Judgement 06-

Reflecting on my last vote, I'm voting for you because of the complete opposite reasons, while still similar. In Laela's case, she didn't know how to keep her mouth shut. For you, you need to learn how to open it. I honestly can't recall a single conversation we've had the entire game outside of the one chat we had with Laela, which we were forced together. I've never heard anyone mention you in a positive light, and the only thing I've heard about you is that you're silent and don't seem to communicate with anyone. Yes, you had every right to be upset that we blindsided you along with Laela, but you have no right to blame your elimination on anyone other than yourself, because let's be honest: did you even try?


~Zoe~

"You have no one to blame but yourself. I wish you gave a shit, because maybe things would be different."

-Judgement 07-

This is the hardest vote in the game so far, and clearly a head vs. heart decision. My head says I have to go through with it and my heart says back out now before it's too late. However, if I wanted to listen to my heart, then I shouldn't have even agreed to play. It's game on from here and I have to do what I feel is best for me and my longevity in this game. Unfortunately i do know that you are far more of a social threat than the other person receiving votes, and despite me turning things on you and Steph, I preferred Steph be the boot... it just made sense for it to be you and I can't even argue that without making it look suspicious so I'm just going to let you go instead. I am so sorry, buddy. You have been a pleasure to chat with and get to know. Best of luck in your future and I hope we can remain friendly.


~Beau~

"This is NOT personal by any means and I hope you understand that. I am so sorry."

-Judgement 10-

This could really backfire in my face but I'm banking on everyone pulling through with what they said. I considered throwing hinky votes to secure the my safety, but I've weighed the pros and cons and I don't think it's worth it. I don't want to cause any kind of disunity in the tribe at this stage, especially since the Fans are gaining momentum. Yes, challenge strength is very important, but let's be honest... none of these people are exactly challenge beasts, so it doesn't make too much of a difference. At least I now have a means to contact Taylor through to get him on top of his challenge shit if I need to. Personally, I would fight my hardest knowing that my tribe consists of the five (minus Stephenie) whereas if I had Stephenie on my tribe, I would think "Oh, well it's okay if we lose." So I believe this is the best move for myself and my tribe advancing forward. It sucks because I promised her a lot better than this, but there's only so much I can do when I have the same promises with everyone...


~Stephenie~

"Yeah, I feel like shit but it's a game. I'm sorry."

[ben]

-Judgement 11-

Well this isn't exactly what I expected to happen at all, so here goes nothing. Originally, we were all going to vote for Selena and she'd be gone 4-1, with one going to Taylor. Unfortunately however, this is not the case. Only Liam voted before the snake came on to announce that anymore votes for Selena will not count. So the plan I came up with was that we split the votes 1-1-1-1 and only Liam re-votes, in which case he is able to vote for Selena and Selena will be sent packing 1-0. How fucking crazy is that? If this backfires, I gave it a good run but it's literally do or die right now since I don't trust Selena in a merge situation anymore. I'm sorry girl but in order for you to go, I need to vote off my closest ally, apparently. This better work!


~Taylor~

"In what world am I voting out my closest ally? In the world of Good & Evil!"

[ben]

-Judgement 12-

Welp, I don't feel too confident after all. I'm actually feeling really discouraged and uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I'm used to being the center of my tribe, or at least being connected with everyone and feeling super secure. Now we're introduced with a whole new batch of players. I hope I didn't exhaust all of my good gaming in the first half, because here is where it counts the most, and I need to prove that. Anyway I tried to rally up the troops this round, aka the Favorites, and get us all to agree on a vote, that was my main priority. I knew Gloria wouldn't wanna vote Thiago (he won immunity anyway) and Chad wouldn't wanna vote Bree, so we compromised on voting Mark. Mark has been playing hard already and trying to talk to us all one-on-one to get us on his side and I think hopefully that makes him feel the most secure of all of the Fans. That way, if an idol is used, then it won't be used on him, and it'll be used on someone more "obvious," aka. Bree or Knox. I'm hoping all of the Faves were able to agree on this and that none of the Fans use an idol on Mark. That's the only way I can see a good outcome come from this. My fingers are crossed and here's to hoping I'm over-evaluating this and overestimating the Fans.


~Mark~

"Sorry dude, you just played too hard, too fast into the merge. You're a great guy!"

[ben]

-Judgement 13-

Tonight will likely mark the first night I'll be voting in the minority other than the round we forced a 1-1-1-1 tie. I know majority isn't going my way but I think everyone expects me to vote this way anyway and I don't want to pull a Candice HvV so I figure I may as well stick with what's best for me. Besides, you never know when self-vote, etc. come up. Crazy items, blah blah. I'm hoping the person I'm voting for goes soon because I don't feel close with her at all, and I think she wouldn't hesitate in eliminating me if/when the opportunity comes up. I will explain more about the vote in my video confessional when I wake up, but for now: you are a bitch. You turned your back on the one and only person who probably gave a shit about you. Way to go. You suck.


~Bree~

"Should have stuck with voting for you last round. You're lucky Chad was loyal to you to a fault."

-Judgement 15-

This round was a bit of a head vs. heart conflict. You know, those conflict I always seem to find myself in. On one hand, I could cast my vote for Bree, who I know won't be leaving tonight. I'm not even sure if all of the fans are united in voting for her, but I don't know if I even care at this point. On the other hand, I could vote for Taylor, who I know is likely receiving the majority of the votes (unless us faves are being lied to, in which case I'm screwed anyway.) I'm weighing the pros and cons and have to determine if voting for Bree will do enough damage that will outweigh the damage done by voting for Taylor and potentially losing his jury vote, should I make it to the finals. Honestly, I don't know if it does. One could argue that I have to make the finals first before I worry about that, a reason to vote for Taylor and possibly advance my position in the game, however I believe that it's not worth it. I've already voted for Bree before, so there's really no blood lost. If we had been voting for any other fan, then I likely would have just jumped on the bandwagon to vote for Taylor, but that doesn't seem to be the case because I basically forced us to vote for Bree, and I'd feel bad if I forced the favorites to vote for who I wanted, and then I didn't follow through with it lmao. Oh well, my vote doesn't matter so all of this is rather pointless, let's just get on with the vote, shall we?


~Bree~

"This is basically a vote out of loyalty and respect. I am loyal to Taylor and I do NOT respect you."

[ben]

-Judgement 16-

This one literally came down to the wire, I'll have to update my confessional after I vote because we're really running out of time here but basically Mark said he will vote with us for Bree, which is what we're doing and we're basically crossing our fingers and hoping for the best. There are a number of reasons he could be lying but at this point whatever. I have an alliance with everyone else in the game in some sort of way so I can't really vote for anyone other than Bree anyway. It has to be Bree, and she has to go. Look at her track record... votes nearly every fucking round. Bitch needs to make like the dinosaurs and go extinct.


~Bree~

"I literally have no idea who is going but I hope it's you."

-Judgement 18-

Well, well, well. What do we have here? My final judgment? Let's hope not! I have one final trick up my sleeve, but it just sounds way too easy. Bree and Thiago have led me to believe that they are splitting the votes 2 on myself and 2 on Liam, do I buy it? I mean, potentially out of fear of the idol since this is the last round it can be used, I guess it makes sense. I believe they are trying to turn Liam and I against each other. I sent Liam a PM saying to vote Mark, and that Bree said she would as well... and in my defense, I thought that was the case when I sent the PM lmao. I haven't heard back though and I hope I don't talk to Liam between now and the deadline because I would feel like crap and wouldn't know what to say whatsoever. So basically, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this works. I'm terribly sorry buddy, it was you or me this week and I just have the gut feeling this is going to be me. If it's not me and I stay, I will be blindsided but hey, we were blindsided when you stayed over Knox. You're unkillable and owning it! Good luck man. I hope you win if I don't! <3


~Liam~

"You always were my favorite."

[Morgan]

This is being put in every juror's voting thread.

Per your list, if you are not to vote by the deadline, you will be voting for Thiago to win Good & Evil 5!
