Congrats to the both of you for making it too far. While some of the jurors may be leaning heavily in one direction or another, I am not at the present. You both have pros and cons as to why or why I shouldn't vote for you. (Also, feel free to address my comments/answer any questions I may pose in my comments toward you two).
I'll start with Topaz. Topaz, if I were basing my vote simply on who I like and got along with, you would have my vote 100%. I enjoyed our conversations and it was great getting to know you. Obviously both of us weren't the best in challenges otherwise it would have been us two in the end (at least I hope so, I do know Sabrina came to you with a final two but I would like to believe you would have preferred to be in the end with me. If not though, please do tell me the truth at least). People might view you as a floater, but that has more to do with the time zone difference, not being able to talk to you as much and all of that fun stuff. I'm not saying you played a great strategic game in that sense though, because I do believe you took a backseat to what other people wanted to do, but I wouldn't necessarily call you a floater in that sense either. Somewhere in the middle, if you get what I mean.
Sabrina. I'll be honest, while I am split 50/50 presently, that can change if you answer the rest of the questions the same way you answered Roddy's. I'm not as enamoured with your challenge performance as everyone else. Yes, you absolutely destroyed it in the challenges and that should be applauded. However, you yourself said you voted in the minority for a large portion of this game. To me that shows you had no control/or no clue in this game. You just happened to win challenges at the right time near the latter half of this game and weren't targeted earlier because there were bigger threats. Oh, and I did try and get Keesha to get you out near the early portion of the jury stages but she wouldn't commit, which is how I knew you two were close. Anyways, in Roddy's answer you listed me near the bottom in terms of your personal ranking which I get, obviously we were against each other. What I didn't like was when you followed that up by saying one of my downfalls was not making any incentive deal with you. I'm not stupid, I know no matter what I came to you with, I would have been out at final 3 if you won HOH, so why even say that and make it sound like there was a small chance when there wasn't? No need to bullshit your answers. Oh, and it wouldn't have hurt to hear my final plea if you meant that as well. Instead, as soon as results come up you post to evict me and tell me one of the reasons was that Topaz made a final two with you (and then in the same post said you went to her, but it's the same thing? No, it's not the same thing). And honestly, even the rest of your answers, it sounds like you barely put any thought into it (I mean what the hall was up with your superhero answers, power of hair? Seriously?). I really hope you do step up how you tackle these questions moving forward because if you answer them the same way, I'm going to have a real hard time voting for you. Oh, and some friendly advice, in the future, please don't say how you suck at this comp, or you are going to lose when you know you have a good chance. Once or twice, I get it, and it's fine, but you said that so many times this game that it just got annoying after the third time.
Questions:
Sabrina - Why should I vote for you, when it can be said, you took a scapegoat to the end looking for the potential easy victory? Do you think it could backfire on you? Do you think the jury would have respected your game more if you had brought me, or Kenny to the end?
Topaz - If you were a juror, and a person in the end brought along somebody who people perceived to have floated to the end, would that affect your decision on who to give the win to?
Both of you:
1) If you were on the jury and both finalists played two completely different games (a challenge whore vs a social threat) who would you vote for?
2) What are two regrets you have in this game in terms of what you may have said to somebody, or if you lied to anybody, or how you acted? (I am not asking about evicting regrets because then you may not be sitting here so you can't have that - but you could be regretting some things you may have said to someone, or even in your diary room)
3) Why should I vote for the other person to win.
Thanks and good luck. I'll be taking these into account along with your answers to the other jurors questions.

But thanks for the personal jab though I'm glad you're going back to the smear HND competition #Tbt
