Jury Discussion Thread

You may discuss the game here!

Hi, everyone! I've missed talking to all of you.

What do you guys think is going to happen here?

Russell and Tracy have 11 gems. Brett and Silas have 9 gems. If Tracy gives 2 gems to Brett and protects herself, Brett, and Russell, then Silas is gone regardless of the Robber Competition. But will she do it? Silas would then likely give all of his gems to Brett and/or Russell and Tracy could enter the final round in 3rd place. In Tracy's position, I'd possibly take 2 gems for myself because she'd be guaranteed protection until the final 3 PLUS at least 13 gems versus 11.

It's just a question of how far she'll go to get Silas out. Does she consider him too big of a threat to make final 3 and risk entering the last round down in gems thinking it's her best move to get rid of him? Will she just finally cave in to her own personal dislike of him? Silas is arguably the biggest challenge threat and maybe strategic threat left depending on how close he still is to Brett and Russell. She's got a tough decision here because both options have advantages and disadvantages. And it's also possible she could take 13 gems for herself PLUS still have Silas go depending on the Robber Competition. Since there could be more gems to be stolen there, it adds another layer to the calculations.

Should be interesting to watch!

Hey Ethan, guy!

I thought I was the only person that Deet didn't execute.


I haven't really looked at all the permutations and combinations possible with Tracy winning the cop competition. But she does look pretty hot in that cop uniform.

To be honest I have no idea who has deals with who anymore....oh wait, I never really did know who was with who. It was always irrelevant to me since I was on my own anyhow. lol

[Ethan]

I will be INCREDIBLY impressed if Silas survives this now. He needs a gem as a result of the robber competition to even have a shot at staying. And then, he'll be against Brett, and Brett will probably vote with Tracy for Silas, so he'll have to force a 2-2 tie to stay with Russell. Which Tracy will break since she has the most gems. So unless Silas can get a gem from the Robber Competition PLUS get Tracy on his side, he's gone. I think he's gone.

And that will be the end of Team Silas thanks to Tracy coming out of nowhere and dominating these challenges. Was she throwing them before to keep the target off her back, do you think?

[Marcus]

I think I already know who's going to join us without the robber competition even starting although I might be wrong. I never knew there was a Team Silas...I would kind of be happy to see Silas join us though since Brett kept him over me but he just joins the jury right after me anyways. It's a smart strategy that I've seen before which is to keep the person that everyone wants out in the game just because you will not be a target since that person is still in the game.

[Ethan]

Yeah, I'm just saying "Team Silas" because that's the nickname that Rocky gave to me, you, and Silas in the one competition where we worked together and let Silas get all the points. And if Silas goes home, the 3 of us will have been wiped out.

[Marcus]

Woah, you got a secret, you couldn't keep it, somebody leaked it and now some shit's about to go down! I never thought that you would be the one acting like a slut when I was gone. Maybe you shouldn't kiss and tell. You really should have kept it in your pants. I'm hearing dirty stories from your friends, maybe you shouldn't kiss and tell. Cause on top of all the ways that you messed up. You weren't smart enough to keep your stupid mouth shut. I'm so sick of it I've had enough.

[Deetster]

I definitely googled this to see if this was something I could find on the internet, or if it was just a rythmic response.

Sorry to disrupt the conversation though, please, carry on, lol.

[Rocky]

You must die I alone am best!

I hope your cellmate thinks he's God
But C.N.N. refer to him as "Bowling Ball Bag Bob"
Serving time again for abuse of a corpse
Only this time the victim's a Clydesdale horse
While he masturbates to photos of livestock
He does the "Silence of the Lambs" dance to Christian Rock
Eats feces and quotes from "Deliverance"
And fights with his imaginary playmate Vince

Die Die Die Die Die Die Die
Die Die Die Die Die Die Die

I hope he grins like Jack Nicholson
And forces you to play a game called "Balls On Chin"
And whatever happens next is all a blur
But you remember "fist" can be a verb
And when you finally regain consciousness
You're bound and gagged in a wedding dress
And the prison guard looks the other way
Cause he's the guy ya flipped the bird the other day

I hope this helps to emphasize
I hope this helps to clarify
I hope you die

Yeah, I definitely looked at this a bunch of times trying to figure out what exactly you were accusing me of doing before I realized it was a song. And I even heard it recently, lol.

[Marcus]

haha good job Ethan!

[Ethan]

OMG Russell actually won a competition? He deserves it, though. He usually does well but just hasn't been able to put a full competition together.

It looks like Silas will be joining us here next.

[Marcus]

I'm so proud of Russell! He really does deserve it and he is a very strong competitor and he won at a good point in the game although he is guaranteed Final 3, he has proven that he can win a comp and still has social game.

[Ethan]

And with that, Silas is gone.

He'll probably be upset that I didn't give him any gems when I was ousted, but I still completely believe in what I did and why. Even if it probably doesn't make any sense to anyone else, which is why I didn't explain it. Still, it ultimately didn't matter since Silas wasn't protected and lost the Robber Competition. He'd have gone either way. I think?

Anyway, if Silas gives Brett 5 gems, then:

Brett-15
Russell- 14
Tracy- 13

I'm really surprised that Russell didn't keep that last gem for himself. It could've at least tied him with Brett and given him a much higher chance of making final two.

Next round could be fascinating if this gem distribution is the case. In order for Russell and Tracy to make the finals together, then they have to potentially risk a 15-15-15 tie if Tracy gets 2 gems and Russell gets 1 gem as a result of the competitions. Brett winning a competition would REALLY create some drama.

[Ethan]

Looks like it is 15-14-13. It's going to be an intense final 3 round.

And welcome, Silas! I don't think anyone would disagree with the fact that you were an incredibly significant player in this game because you worked hard, spoke your mind, and made many big moves. Sorry to see you out.
