Okay so, I do want to make a bit of an apology. As a juror, I often ask things in a emotionally charged way to see how you will address and handle those sorts of criticisms. I wasn't feeling particularly well yesterday and I may have been a little excessive on that front. However, both of you answered what I was hoping to get out of you both in what I asked and why. So I thank you for that.
Let's have a much nicer fun question for you both. For each juror, what was your favourite moment with them that you shared? Whether it was a funny line or some topic of conversation you've had, or a really hard TC you got through together with them. Give us the parts of this game you loved most that each person influenced in some way.
You do not need to apologize,
mon ami, at least not to me. Eet would be understandable if you were even more emotional with me zan you 'ave been given ze way our relationship was and ze way eet ended. But I'm glad zat you felt you got what you needed from my response. And I'm sorry zat you weren't feeling well and 'ope zat you feel better.
I was 'oping to get zis question! Thinking back and remembering ze fun moments with each individual ees one of my favorite things to do.
With M. Pikachu, I really enjoyed ze moment where we both admitted zat we 'ad tried to get each other eliminated and failed. Eet was refreshing to me, especially because neither of us knew each other zat well so we couldn't even be mad about eet. I also enjoyed zat we kept our non-game discussion about musical theater going all throughout a hectic TC. I think 'e was one of ze only people ze whole game I did zat with, and I'm glad zat I did, because eet turns out zat we only 'ad zat round together to 'ave eet.
With M. McGruff, I found trying to sort out what 'appened after ze M. Peralta idol play really amusing. Eet was just layers upon layers of confusion and people misunderstanding or misreading each other and not communicating well, and M. McGruff and I didn't actually 'ave zat trust built up with each other because we 'ad just met, so both of us trying to figure out if we actually were on ze same page ze previous round and didn't realize eet was just so funny to me. I'm laughing now just thinking about eet. Zat merge round was such a mess.
With M. Grouch, 'onestly I 'ave a 'ard time isolating a single moment because zere were so many good ones, but I think my top one 'as to be ze absolute elation I felt finally getting reunited at merge. Eet was such an emotional high for me because I 'ad been missing you and wishing you were on my tribe for so long, and so finally meeting up with you again and comparing notes and realizing zat you 'ad almost gone 'ome ze previous round and everything was such a whirlwind and a great, memorable moment. I was basically vomiting information to you, which was probably not ze most smart on my part, but in zat moment, after 'aving been denied access to you for so long, I couldn't 'elp eet. And zen really we 'ad great moments throughout ze merge and really I feel like every interaction I 'ad with you was a memorable moment in eets own way, but zat reunion at ze merge takes ze cake.
With M. Peralta, 'is idol play ees my favorite moment with 'im I think. I was so elated after zose results I can't even tell you, and celebrating with 'im and M. Briscoe was everything I ever wanted. Eet was just such a joyful, surprising moment, and eet ees so rare in zis game zat you get pleasant surprises. I laughed out loud when I saw those results, and M. Peralta made zem
possible. I also really enjoyed a 'eart to 'eart zat 'e and I 'ad later in ze merge about 'is philosophy towards ze game in which we solidified zat we were committed to each other as far as we could go together, but nothing can match ze sheer joy and surprise of zat idol play.
With M. Briscoe, again eet ees so 'ard to isolate a single moment because zere were so many good ones. I actually really did enjoy 'aving 'im to confide in and rely on during ze M. Peralta boot and during 'is elimination. We were always keeping each other updated and giving each other ideas about 'ow to turn things around. 'E told me zat M. Morningstar was targeting me because of my association with Mlle Hopps, so I was able to take zat to Mlle Hopps to try to get 'er to change 'er mind and target 'im. I was always giving 'im updates about what was going on, and I think we 'ad to rely on each other ze most in ze rounds where things were not going our way, so zose are ze moments I think of when I think of 'im. But I also loved our time on SVU together and we always tried to keep up our social relationship, from our early conversations about Christie to our later conversations about Big Brother. My relationship with M. Briscoe meant so, so much to me.
With Mlle Hopps, she brought me so much entertainment zis game I can't even tell you. I love 'er schemes. I love 'er plots. I love zat she thinks outside of ze box. I loved our non-game talk and getting ze chance to discuss history and media and so much more. I actually am struggling to come up with a single favorite moment because zere are so many good ones, but I actually think I'm going to go with a bit of a dark horse and say zat ze way she told M. Chan zat she 'ad no reason to want to keep 'im in ze game in ze groupchat with M. Chan, M. Cheddar, and ze two of us was such a delightful early moment and ze moment zat I knew zat
oui, Mlle Hopps ees great and my kind of ally. Ze
lapin ees honest in ze most brutal, hilarious way, and I appreciate zat so much. 'Er approach to ze M. Wilde round was
fantastique as well and kept me entertained, where she told M. Wilde to 'is face zat she knew 'e was voting for 'er, she was going to vote for 'im, and she was 'aving ze tiger idol played on 'er. No one plays zat way, and yet Mlle Hopps did and made eet work for 'er at ze way up to ze final 6.
Mon Dieu, I love 'er so much. She's so honest, eet's
parfait. I know zis was more zan one moment but Mlle Hopps really deserves eet. She ees a huge part of ze
raison zat I enjoyed zis game as much as I did.
With Mlle Garcia, really all of our conversations were a delight and brought a smile to my face, and 'er sending me Karen Puzzles videos during TC never failed to relax me, but winning Immunity with 'er ees one of my favorites moments of ze game, so I 'ave to go with zat. I am not confident in my challenge ability. When Mlle Garcia first told me zat she wanted to partner with me, I almost turned 'er away because I knew 'ow badly she might need Immunity zat round, and I didn't want to drag 'er down. But she believed in me and in my ability to do ze challenge and put 'er fate in my 'ands, and zen I didn't let 'er down. Eet was such a wonderful moment. Such an emotional moment for me. Celebrating with 'er afterwards was just pure joy. I don't think I needed Immunity zat round, but she definitely did, and I was so, so glad to be zere for 'er and to go through zat together, and our time blew everyone else out of ze water. Thank you, Mlle Garcia. When I say zat you 'ave fundamentally changed my attitude towards challenges for ze better, I mean eet. Zat moment ees probably one of ze things I'm most proud of zis whole game.
With M. Kennedy, reconnecting with 'im after I attempted to flip ze vote on 'im during ze M. Briscoe round was my favorite moment. I enjoyed M. Kennedy ze moment I met 'im, and we always 'ad a bond, but throughout ze merge, I sometimes did wonder where I truly stood in 'is ranking. I knew zat 'e liked me a lot, but other people would tell me 'ow M. Kennedy said similar things to zem, and I didn't know for sure zat I was really ze person (or one of ze people) 'e was loyal to over anyone else. Trying to take 'im out during ze M. Briscoe vote made sense, but when eet failed and M. Kennedy found out about eet, I was absolutely crushed because I feared zat my relationship with 'im might be permanently ruined after I breached zat trust. But 'e forgave me. 'E listened to what I 'ad to say and 'e accepted me as an ally once again, and zat meant so, so much to me. I think zis actually somewhat strengthened our relationship and brought us to an even better place 'eading into zose last few rounds. So often in zis game, players refuse to let go of old conflicts, especially newer players, so M. Kennedy being willing to do zat meant so much to me.
M. Cohle- My favorite moment with M. Cohle was ze F4, and immediately after ze F4. M. Cohle for me was one of zose relationships in zis game zat you make and you 'ope zat you will be able to pull something off eventually with, but you never know for sure, so ze fact zat we actually made such an
incroyable move together was everything. Ze stress of not knowing for sure if ze 2-1-1 would go through or if someone's vote would change was excruciating, and M. Cohle's support 'elped me get through eet. And zen ze celebration we 'ad when M. Kennedy went 'ome and one of us was guaranteed to make eet to ze F2 was such an emotional high. I also appreciated zat we kept messaging each other even after M. Morningstar won Immunity, even though M. Morningstar wasn't talking to either of us and so we both just kind of felt like we were in limbo waiting to be told our fate. Zat was a tough 24 hours of waiting, and M. Cohle made eet more bearable. For zat, I am incredibly grateful.
