Yeah, and it will be especially hard given that I think he'll need to give a speech that goes against how he planned to play the game. As I referred to way earlier, he thought he was playing all Sandra Diaz-Twine like but then he went all Mike Holloway on us. So mentally, you have to realize that even though you want to explain your game like this, the jurors are definitely going to see it like that and you need to emphasize those strengths. I feel like this is what sort of knocked down Azmodan in Nexus -- The finalist's version of events couldn't mesh with enough jurors' versions.

mmm yeah i kinda see this as literally kaoh rong where penner is michelle & tbird is aubry

But really, just give us a succinct argument that you went on a four-Immunity run in a game that seems specifically geared not to favor immunity runs and I'd swoon

but i guess also be like "I talked to people"

If cydney is the first to post, the atmosphere of tribal may create an environment more geared toward penner or frosti than t-bird. On the defensive in ftc, I think T-bird is most likely to grate on others.

penner's argument is probably something like: "I laid low early and used my social connections to get people to work with me and let other people take the targets off my back. but i was on the right side of votes and when people threatened me, i took them down. i didn't have to backstab anyone to do it and while the immunity wins helped, they ultimately don't take away from the rest of what i did."

penner HAS to cast himself as likable and not an evil cutthroat ass to contrast against tbird's game

i think that's generally good advice, casting yourself as likable.

perhaps. i think several winners have been able to do it by just being cutthroat but it does seem recent meta has favored likable winners.

maybe the change in format here will revert to a less likable winner

Yeah, T-Bird's got this in the bag.

I had a chat with T-Bird before the GameChangers finale about F2s, and I mean, it's pretty obvious if you know how T-Bird thinks, but they definitely see the F3 Immunity as extra-powerful and a way to control who goes to FTC.
Whether you love or hate F2's, I think we can all agree the F3 immunity is those things you said there. It's the difference between fighting against an underdog with a similar story to yours (Frosti) and someone called 'Julia's second vote'. (also she'd just be gone if she lost it. In MLS as well.)

I want Penner to win as well because we've seen his charming Journeyman's edit over the game! I don't know if he can, and T-Bird is the second worst case scenario for him (worst case would have been Julia.) In this situation as a juror I know I'd be inclined to vote T-Bird.

some people are more likable than others, but nobody's intentionally unlikable. People always try to cast themselves as likable, at least in my limited experience.
