Dylan on Umich's Journey:
For starters, congratulations on making it this far your very first game.  I haven't been here the entire season so I did some reflecting on the game and you seem to have grown into a strong player throughout this process which surprised me since all the entries i judged from you were great. As far as scores go, you've certainly been a threat in the competition (especially the latter half of the game). To me, your entries are the strongest from the three remaining so you have that aspect on your side. As far as commitment, you've been committed to the game through your entries but I've never seen much of you in the thread which makes you seem a it distant as a player compared to the other two which would be your weakness. I thought you had the best speech which isn't that surprising since you are the strongest writer remaining. You provided points as to why you should win that are valid and I am conflicted on who to vote for as of now: the score strategist, the social strategist, or the hybrid? Best of luck to you! You've played a great game regardless.
Dylan on Buddy!'s Journey:
Congratulations on fighting your way to the finale, Buddy!  As you mentioned, I joined later in the game so I decided to take a look back at the game before I joined to get a better look into everyone's journeys. You actually have done a lot better than I thought in the challenges than I would have thought based off you being considered the social player of the bunch. You certainly took advantage of the twist of this season by playing a social game to avoid elimination. Alliances are key in most games and hopefully you'll continue that in Survivor. When commitment comes into play, you're in the thread often which is obvious dedication to not only the game-play but the social aspect that you focused on this season. Your speech was pretty good and you gave reasoning for your potential victory which was the whole point of the challenge. You're the social player while one is the score player of the three. Then there's one of you who's in between.the two aspects. We'll see who comes out on top. Either way, this is a great improvement over last season for you.
Dylan on Superiore's Journey:
Hey, Mario! You're in yet another finale I'm involved in.  Maybe this time you'll take the win with you. I came in as a judge late so I took a look back on the game to see how each of you played this game. I felt like umich was the score winner while Buddy! was the social winner here. You, however, were a combination of the two. So I'm stuck between choosing one route over the other or choosing the hybrid player. What I mean by hybrid is you had impressive entries yet you were also very social in the thread at the same time. As far as commitment goes, you're consistently in the thread and also logged into plug for hours at a time so there's no denying your intentions in the game. Your speech did seem like a lot of run-on sentences which did irk the language side of me a bit, but it also intrigued the rhetorical side of me so I'll give you a pass there. Your reasoning for why you should win is understandable and valid based off your performance. I'm stuck between who to vote for right now so may my vote be ever in your favor, Mario. Good luck and a job well done! |

First of all, a HUGE congrats to me for making it until the finale as a judge. #Hashtag.
W-O-W we're here, I can't believe how fast these last 2 months passed and American Oxygen flopped even tho it's really such a great song and ahead of its time.
CONGRATS to all of you, finalists. Buddy, Superiore and Umich. You deserve it so much, you were all great contestants. Now about speeches: I loved that all 3 of you showed your personality through them. That little x in Buddy's speech, Mario's signature and Umich's organized speech are really parts of you.
I loved watching and judgning your journey in this game. I was really familiar with you all from before but mostly with umich and Superiore.
As I said in my first post in the thread I will judge based on your passion for this game and I think you all had a great amount of that passion, you were all comitted to the game and I appreciate that as it was such a great experience for me too.
umich I loved the bit in your speech about how some of the things you learned in the game can be applied in real life too. Really meaningful and I'm glad that the game managed to inspire that. I wish you would've been a little bit more active in the thread but nonetheless you were dedicated to your entries and that's what counts the most.
Buddyc516:I loved how you literally proved everyone wrong. From being the first eliminated last season to being a finalist now, that is a great job. Congrats.
Superiore: I'm so glad that you made it to the finale, you really made up for last season. You were strong back then too but this season you just WANTED to be here.
Overall guys you all had highs and lows but your journeys were the greatest ones as we can see you in the finale now.
I promise next season I will be as dedicated to this job as a judge as I was as a contestant.
So good luck and may the best one of you win.

When I heard (from Haru) that you were really going to join LA3 I was so happy, not gonna lie. It was a boyonce joining LA2 sized surprise. Since you are already a big ATRLer we had high expectation and you mostly lived up to them. Your entries were all good if not amazing. You seemed to be a very likable character in the game and always delivered. You didn't talk a lot but were always on time. Which shocked me.
But that's exactly your weakness. You weren't very active. In your entries you showed that you wanted this but in the thread you didn't do too much. That made me ask myself: How much does he really want this? We'll see.
Superiore
Returning from the second season at the very last minute and now you're in the finale. Who would have thought, Super? Throughout the competition you showed dedication. You had lots of fun and it was amazing to see someone really enjoy what you're doing. You started out great and ended on a high note in the apprentice challenge. In between you were in the top five a lot, like you mentioned.
But obviously you had some weaknesses, too. Despite ranking in the top five a lot, the judges were always very torn about your entries. They either liked it or absolutely did not. It's not easy to please everyone but a winner should impress the majority at least. Were you able to gather the votes? We'll see.
Buddy!
From the mess you were in season two to now.. you have really grown Buddieu! I am really happy that you decided to come back and not sit on that last place from LA2. Look at it paying off!!! You have the highest score in the stats and you were very dedicated in this game. You shined in the jpg challenge and that pic went on to be used in Haru's kik chats even.
However, your other entries were either good or mediocre. Some judges didn't get the feeling that you really came to win. Did that feeling change with your speech? We'll see.
