cassandra franklin (17:14:30): hey!
Colby Donaldson (17:22:40): Hey
Colby Donaldson (17:22:40): Hey
Colby Donaldson (17:25:07): Oh wow
cassandra franklin (17:25:20): Lol yeah I was not expecting to come home from work and be in the final 3
Colby Donaldson (17:25:26): And she says she's not bitter lol right!
cassandra franklin (17:25:36): I honestly don't get it at all....
cassandra franklin (17:25:42): We never even set a time for the tiebreaker
Colby Donaldson (17:26:55): Lol
cassandra franklin (17:31:16): I hope we can do the live challenge because that would be a lot easier than a 24 hour one
Colby Donaldson (17:36:00): I know
Colby Donaldson (17:36:11): I just got home so I'm good
cassandra franklin (17:36:24): Yeah same, I'm about to do the rites of passage and stuff
cassandra franklin (17:36:27): Hope Shirin comes on soon
cassandra franklin (17:36:39): I literally couldn't do a 24 hour challenge with my work schedule haha
Colby Donaldson (17:49:24):
on the pc
cassandra franklin (17:51:08): huh?
Colby Donaldson (17:51:18):
I was on the phone lol
cassandra franklin (17:51:21): oh hahaha
cassandra franklin (17:51:43): Well Colb just want to tell you that I truly will take you to the final 2 if I win this last challenge
cassandra franklin (17:51:47): So I hope you'll do the same haha
Colby Donaldson (17:52:46):
Aww thank you!
Colby Donaldson (17:53:09):
Yeah, at this point, we should just take over this island haha
Colby Donaldson (17:53:32):
I'm pretty sure Alina is going to go around talking trash about me so I'm probably out of the running :/
cassandra franklin (17:53:55): Even if she does it's not like the jury will listen to her
cassandra franklin (17:54:00): Considering she never spoke to almost all of them lol
Colby Donaldson (17:54:08):
really?
cassandra franklin (17:54:36): Yeah like she literally never spoke to me Artis and Tina and then after Tina went home I finally messaged her to tell her that I thought it was rude she never responded to me and then she sent me a long apologetic message
cassandra franklin (17:55:06): Not sure about Morgan and Brendan, but I don't think she was all that close to them
cassandra franklin (17:55:24): She obv talked to Erinn but at this point i doubt Erinn would listen to her, and Erinn loves you anyways
Colby Donaldson (17:55:28):
I didn't talk much to them either :/
Colby Donaldson (17:55:42):
it was awkaward
Colby Donaldson (17:55:45):
awkward
cassandra franklin (17:56:02): Morgan/Brendan or Artis/Tin?
Colby Donaldson (17:56:36):
Artis, Tina
cassandra franklin (17:56:44): Oh well that's understandable
cassandra franklin (17:56:55): We were all kind of doomed
Colby Donaldson (17:57:34):
yeah, that wouldn't have happened if you had won a few immuntiies
Colby Donaldson (17:57:37):
immunities
cassandra franklin (17:58:27): Yeah haha so weird how things work out
cassandra franklin (17:58:41): I'm very grateful to still be here
Colby Donaldson (17:59:21):
I'm glad you are
cassandra franklin (17:59:31): Thanks <3
cassandra franklin (18:00:15): Going to go for a few mins, I have a friend coming over but I'll be back soon to finish off the RoP and stuff so we can get to this final challenge!
Colby Donaldson (18:01:01):
All right, ttyl
cassandra franklin (20:40:16): Congrats though seriously you were amazing at that
Colby Donaldson (20:42:43):
thank you! you fought!
cassandra franklin (20:42:57): Hahah i tried to keep up with you
cassandra franklin (20:43:30): I hope you're still planning on taking me but I can imagine that you're weighing both options so I hope you'll allow me to plead my case
Colby Donaldson (20:44:06):
Yeah, now it's time to have a perspective on the whole game
cassandra franklin (20:44:35): I guess the way I see it is that you and I played two very different games and have different stories, which are easier to compare and contrast.
cassandra franklin (20:45:42): On top of that, before she left, I made a comment to Alina about how it was frustrating that Shirin might beat me when she hasn't been as engaged in the game, and Alina told me that that's not true and Shirin has been doing a lot more than she lets on to, and this kind of opened my eyes that Shirin might not be the most out there player, but she has her own strategy that has been working perfectly for her as no one has ever even tried to target her
cassandra franklin (20:46:40): Ever since I was first on a tribe with her, I noticed right away how everyone just LOVES her and even when she does things like forgets to vote because she ate cheesecake or loses a challenge or wins a challenge, everyone is just all "LOL SHIRIN <3" because they love her personality and no one could ever dislike her
cassandra franklin (20:48:14): Alina said Shirin and her had a close alliance from a long time ago, which makes me wonder if Shirin really had a lot going on, but her strategy the whole time was just to pretend like she was totally out of it, while in reality she actually was into it and playing her own game.
Colby Donaldson (20:48:33):
That males sense :/
cassandra franklin (20:50:05): I know it's a tough decision either way but that's honestly how I see it. It's scary. I don't think she's going to roll over and die in the final 2. And I am afraid, as awful as it sounds, that the jury might find it like "funny" if she won and just vote for her to win. Especially if Morgan and Alina are bitter and stuff.
Colby Donaldson (20:50:40):
Yeah I can see that
cassandra franklin (20:52:16): I know it might seem like I have 2 automatic votes with Artis/Tina, but honestly I feel like the fact that they've been on the jury for so long and the fact that both of them are very rationale people and think things through, I don't think they're going to be like "Oh, Cass made the end? There's my vote!" I feel like they'll still weigh the options because they never would just let a decision be made without thinking it through.
cassandra franklin (20:53:40): Because you and Shirin had the same story, coming from Chencha and having mostly the same allies, I feel like it will seem that she got here on her own while you got here on immunity. But next to me, you can kind of tell them that you saved my ass twice and had more power than I did, which is true.
cassandra franklin (20:54:28): Anyways, I'll stop rambling and let you think about it now haha but thanks for listening to me at least and of course I respect your decision no matter what, but I just couldn't go out without telling you my thoughts of course.
Colby Donaldson (20:54:45):
I appreciate it!
cassandra franklin (22:50:14): Any update on your thoughts? haha

Colby Donaldson (15:50:24):
So, I have decided
Colby Donaldson (15:50:57):
and decided to tell you before... you're gonna hate me but I'm taking Shirin :-(
Colby Donaldson (15:51:16):
I just don't see any scenario in which I'll get the most votes to win against you
Colby Donaldson (15:51:46):
My apologies, loved playing with you
cassandra franklin (18:57:55): Noooooooo please take me
cassandra franklin (18:57:59): You're not going to win against her
cassandra franklin (18:58:05): You have more of a shot against me I promise
Colby Donaldson (18:58:16):
Well, we don't know that
cassandra franklin (18:59:10):
Colby Donaldson (18:59:44):
I'm really sorry
cassandra franklin (19:00:37): I definitely appreciate you telling me but I think you will definitely have to sell your game hard
Colby Donaldson (19:01:04):
Why though?
Colby Donaldson (19:01:15):
I think she kidna sucked tbh
cassandra franklin (19:01:21): I think she played better socially
Colby Donaldson (19:01:30):
she didn't even talk to Artis
cassandra franklin (19:01:40): I thought you said you didn't either lol
Colby Donaldson (19:01:51):
not a lot
cassandra franklin (19:02:59): Hey again it's your decision and I respect that but everything I told you about why I think you have a better shot over me was very honest. Just the fact that her and Alina had been quietly making decisions for a long time shows a lot about her game
Colby Donaldson (19:03:22):
I'm pretty sure it was more Alina
Colby Donaldson (19:03:40):
She even had a meltdown in the siwtch
Colby Donaldson (19:03:50):
saying that she knew she was next until she remembered Bob was there
cassandra franklin (19:04:56): If you think you can beat her then by all means take her, but since I'll finally be able to talk to the jury again I am definitely going to talk to them to see what they think since they played with both of you for longer
Colby Donaldson (19:05:21):
You will know first than me anyway :/
cassandra franklin (19:05:52): Like I said in my TC answer, I think there might be more to her game than she has let on to, I feel like a lot of her spazziness is her acting to make her seem less threatening but hopefully they can confirm that for me.
cassandra franklin (19:06:04): I'm just sad because I really just wanted the chance
Colby Donaldson (19:06:12):
I know :9
I had a great time and met some great people and hope to keep in touch with them after the game!
