Hey y'all long time no see 
Congrats again to both of you. We are all jealous of both of you so well done on making it to the end! I guess I should preface this by saying I won't be asking either of you a question partly because I feel like I was with you both long enough to make up my own mind on y'all and partly because I already voted and didnt realise that meant I couldnt ask a question alol (my B). So if you cbb reading anymore then thats totally fine alol. I guess I just want to say some stuff?
Penny I think you played a better game then you will get credit for- but only just. Its not like you were a complete goat because I mean you did make moves and both your HOH's took out big name players (Yw for getting rid of Aisha btw
) and you won a couple vetos I think which is nothing to sniff at. Challenge wise you were pretty good. Where you really lacked was any sort of original strategy or social gaming. You just sort of slivered through the game following one persons direction and then anothers. In that regard I would put you with the likes of Jmac and Char who were basically irrelevant. Without your challenge wins you would definitely be with them because you seemed largely uninvested in even trying to do anything. I find it really telling that you listed the Aussie clique as an actual alliance that you thought you could work with because I guarantee you that for me and Aisha that was an incredibly low priority and yet you seem to use that as an example of your social skills which it wasn't. Good luck babe but yeah...
Zacharius you played a really smart game theres no doubt about it. I don't think everything you said in your OS is true and you are rewriting history a little bit (a lot less then Penny tried to do though lol) but hey I am all for embellishment and a little bit of theatre. One thing I fundamentally dislike about your gameplay is something you seem most proud of this "nice guy" schtick. First of all because almost without exception whenever someone describes themselves first and foremostly as a "nice guy" they are generally the complete opposite (but thats more for RL then org's I guess) and secondly because its so boring. The only move I can really point to you doing before the last HOH win was getting Pilar to keep you. You never made any attacking moves and you were content to ride out the game like that which you did expertly there is no denying. You were playing the game but its not a style of gameplay I like to reward. Still it is obvious you are great at playing the way you do and you made sure you were never the biggest threat until right at the end of the game which is extremely hard to do and I commend you for that. One thing I was surprised about was how close you were to taking me to the Final 2 because I was trying to cut you since Aisha left and your nice guy schtick almost cost you the game by taking me lol. That would have been glorious
but alas for me you made the absolute correct decision in getting rid of me and now you are sitting there about to win with an almost flawless execution of the semi-UTR game. I guess the point of this post was to ask you to change it up next time you play lol But what do I know I am just some schmuck on the jury and you are about to win so whatevs! You are incredible at what you do.
Congrats to both of you and good luck!
