I didnt expect this F3. Its going to come down to Benry and Parv for me right now. Ashley is in no way getting my vote unless she wows me with her questions because she was just Benry's tagalong. Benry seemed to play this game in the terms of a "hero" from my POV and had been a threat from the start of the game and made it until now, and Parv really lived up the Villain title and did whatever she could to make it to the end and also made calculating moves, for example being cutting Kelly loose right here at the end. Ashley didnt do anything. lol

IDK, all three of them have a shot at my vote, didn't really think one stands out over the other, good game play is good gameplay, but jury management is a part too and I don't think any of them treated or saw most of the jurors as people and treated them like shit so we'll see.

Ashley has a shot at my vote ~ She survived through many of Parvati's mindless drones.

Ashley is going to get my vote unless I get impressed. It takes a lot to impress me. I'm fairly certain Benry and Parvati are both not up to the task.

*reads Ashley's openning statement*
OK, they all have about an equal shot at my vote now. Can I just vote for Kelly again?

I'm really stuck between Benry and Parvati. This is the first time I've been on a jury that I'lll have to rely on the way they answer questions to figure out my vote.

I'm torn as well...
I feel Ashley could have stood up and spoken out many times this season to turn things maybe more in her favor so it didn't look like Benry did all her dirty work for her... I think she was well aware of the relationship Parv and Benry had but just played it off because it would help her.
I really feel like if the other 2 were truly playing the game, they would have made a move to get her out at some point. But I won't base my vote on the fact that Parv is there at the end...
And if you saw Parv's opening statement and didn't want to read it because it was too long like I did, I would suggest to go read it because I really feel it clears the air. And does benry's opening statement remind anyone of R.I???
"My relationship with Parvati was key to survival. A lot of people looked at her like a Queen, and there was a bunch of people who believed she wanted them in the end game. I was rightfully guarded in my allegiance to her."
That just felt like a plus for Parv--i.e she's the reason he's there. Which I don't honestly think is the truth because there were a lot of people sitting willing to take her out. But that's just me.
I'm going to read every statement all 3 make and judge based off that as well as their style of play and how they used their resources. This will be a tough decision.

I read all of parvati's openning statement. None of it was surprising, all of it was annoying.

I think Boo has a point, eeryone thought they had a good relationship with Parv, but it was really Parv's decision on who she brought to the end. I'm pretty sure Parv could have had Benry taken out at some point.

I'm sure she could have..
People like Ozzy and Nate wanted him gone yet she turned around and voted them out instead when Benry was wide open...
Nate explained it to me like this- why would they vote out someone who takes their big target off their back? But the thing is is if they banded together they would just create that big target again...yet they still made the end. Just like Russell in Samoa and Rob in RI, Parv just got stuck with the same people, probably could never play a game like this again...

Nate's Rankings So Far:
Parvati: -- Ashley: +1 Benry: -1
Parv is now the front runner, despite the way she played (like Russell) and yeah, whatevers done is done, but my mind isn't made up yet.
Ashley is moving up on my list because I felt out of the final 3, she stayed true to herself as a person and didn't sell her soul to the devil to win a game, maintained her relationships and we all know its how you've maintained relationships that really pay off in the end and they just might for her.
Benry is moving down on my list. I just am not buying the heap of shit he is selling at final tribal council unfortunately. He WAS just another one of Parvati's drones. She dragged him to the end all game because she knew he would have this huge target on his back for how he played last season and he did, and she led him to the slaughter house like a sheep so kudos to her and fail on your part Benry, dumb move. Not to mention the more I read his responses the more I want to puke.

Not to mention the more I read his responses the more I want to puke. Agree with all of this. Its Ashley vs Parvati for me right now. Also I've been saying Parvati was keeping Benry around to scapegoat him since before Boo left. That's whatbaffles me: this stuff. Has been obvious for months but no one ever did anything. Benry took this massive threat all the way to the end for almost no real reason. They don't seem to be huge BFFs. Had Benry cared about winning he SHOULD have eliminated that threat instead of keeping around someone he only had loose deals and back-watching with, instead taking out the people who were close to him or could have bolstered his game. Told you all he wasn't that bright. Also: "I didn't try in challenges because I felt pretty safe. I was targeted by everyone in the game from day one!" Oh ok benry makes perfect sense. Ashley's answers are kind of meh to me though. I'm not liking them. As for Parvati : VARY YOUR DAMN PARAGRAPH LENGTHS AND ORGANIZE YOUR ANSWERS. That annoyed me so much in Derailed and it still does now. Its like she has a specific length each block of text needs to be. I don't know why but it bothers me SO MUCH
