Well from the sounds of that I guess Jacob is winning. If I was Hodges I would take Christina to the end. She won't win

A Jacob win <333333 This will be the most lob sided win in iS history and well deserved, they're stupid to take Jacob and low and behold they're actually doing it. I did like how the Rites of Passage was done at f4 insinuating a f3 FTC, you scoundrels!

I don't think it'll be too lobsided, Joanne expressed immediately after she was voted out that she didn't like that Jacob lied to her for no reason and she won't vote for him to win.
Vic won't vote Jacob to win.
If Cristina comes in 3rd, I feel like she would still vote Jacob since they were closer, but after talking to Vic, she might vote Hodges.
If Hodges comes in 3rd, he might be so upset with Jacob that he doesn't want to vote him.
At this point in time, Jacob doesn't know who he's taking to the finals. I think he's leaning toward taking Cristina though.

I think he's leaning toward taking Cristina though. What anybody says immediately after being voted out, and especially as strong/opinionated woman as Joanne is, should be discounted completely. People are filled with fire in those first minutes, hours, even a day or so, after getting the boot. I don't believe for an instant that Joanne will continue to feel this way once it's time to vote, and especially after she's had the chance to confront Jacob about it in FTC. Vic is more likely to hold a grudge, I think, but I still don't see him letting that dissuade him from making a fair and rational decision when the moment comes to write down a name. Regardless who he goes with, I'm predicting a landslide. Maybe one vote going to Hodges, if he's with him at that point, but either way, Jacob has all but won this game.... unless..... Christina wins immunity. In that moment when she realizes that she holds the power, I can see her finally wielding it, and sending Jacob home. Best odds of the game for Christina to make a move, and even then I put it at only 60/40.

It won't be a full on unanimous vote at all, we have both bitter jurors and people who are close. The jury has been debating at length who they would reward the win and none of them can seem to agree. Especially on the very likely final 2 of Jacob and Hodges, they're straight up split down the middle, I think Jacob will come out on top but I disagree on the fact that it would be lopsided in the least bit.
And clearly we would do ROP at 4 when no one in the game or jury could figure out whether it would be 2 or 3, made the final 4 vote a lot more interesting.

I love that you did the ROP at F4. Misleading, for sure, but only if you stop thinking about all the other surprises they've been handed through the season. Again, I don't have access to the Jury in any form. I can only judge based on what I've seen of their characters in the course of the game, and what exposure they've had to the current F3 and therefore are likely to "know" about their games. I don't have the luxury of asking them point blank what they're thinking.

Kirin, sorry, I didn't know that was there. I've read it.
And, I have to say, I frickin' hate Vic right now. Not because he would vote Christina over Jacob (although the very thought of that makes me want to throw up in my mouth, just a little bit), but because he KNOWS Jacob played a better game, and because he's butthurt about being blindsided, he's refusing to vote for the better game? Vic, dude, I had such a high opinion of you until I read that. I mean, I get if it comes down to Hodges or Jacob, both having played strong games, both having interesting stories, both the masters of their own destinies, I'd totally understand you using his treatment of you as an excuse to tip the scales, to make your choice a little easier. But to swear to vote for someone who did nothing but flash her grin for awhile and pass up every opportunity to advance her own game just because you're feewings aw huht?
Yeah, I'm empty. My faith in iHuman1ty is a desiccated, rotting wreck.

Wow. I missed a lot. I ended up having less time in the days than I anticipated and I cant believe how differently the game panned out for some. I feel super terrible for being a waste of a PW this season What the hell happened to Christina that she is being likened to Shaily? She was doing so well when I last was in the loop. So surprised to see how far Hodges made it. What a turnaround for him from his early days on Les Cayes! It all seems like Jacob is going to be an almost unanimous winner and if so, he deserves it. Based on everything I read in the ponder1sa comments thread, it looks like he bossed this game from when the season's major twist was put in place. I also want to take a minute to mourn Joanne. I was wrong about her in my preseason assumptions and I am happy to be wrong. She just seems like such a genuine and sweet-natured person.

[2014-07-03, 2:57:42 AM] jacob harpel: i literally [2014-07-03, 2:57:47 AM] jacob harpel: have no idea who to take
Jacob sent me that immediately after he won, so at least it isn't as cut and dry as anyone thought it was, especially the jury. No matter who Jacob takes he's showing some sort of loyalty beyond all the backstabbing he's done at this point. I think taking Hodges would be a stronger demonstration of loyalty frankly, it's one thing to be loyal to your original tribe lines, but another to be loyal to someone who you didn't interact with at all in the beginning stages IMO, plus I'd love to see a slightly less predictable finale.I just love all these final 3 honestly so I don't really care the outcome but team Jacob full through

I agree, I'm usually down for more unpredictability, of only because it's more exciting to watch happen. Also, totally agree that Hodges would be a great way to show that, behind the backstabbing, there was real loyalty. "I wasn't loyal to you, perhaps, but I was loyal to my true allies, and they've known it all along."
I'm looking forward to watching how Jacob handles this Jury. There will be a lot of hard questions coming his way, and I hope he can be forthright and own his decisions, because in pretty much every case, they were the right one, even if someone wound up feeling betrayed because of them.
Hodges did a great job getting to where he is by not only being loyal, but inspiring loyalty in return. He may be completely inoffensive, but he's also been extraordinarily effective, and deeply involved in much of the decisions that have come down the wire. He was every bit as responsible for all of the boots attributed to Jacob, but he came out of it without bloodstains on his clothes.
And Christina. She made one move in this game, and that was booting Charlie. Frankly, I think that was a very good move for her game, but unfortunately she stopped there. She could very easily have created a F3 consisting of people she could potentially have beaten by RE-flipping after the Charlie boot. With that double-move under her belt, and a continued willingness to flip again if she starts to look too threatening to one of her allies, she could have cruised the the Final and all but guaranteed a win. But she's too nice for that. Props for being a Good Person(tm), Christina!

We all know who wins the game, the question is how tight are the jury votes are going to be.

So I heard. This is what my opinion of you said you would do, before I saw those clips from the Jury Chat. So, what happened? Did he win you over? Or did you just wake up and realize you were being childish? Or was it something else?
(ignore my tone - I'm trying to do too many things all at once. I probably sound a little brusque).
