This is Shamar's Final Tribal Council Thread.

All other Jurors should remain in their own threads. Final 3, remember... this is not for you to address each other, but to talk to Shamar. In-fighting amongst the Final 3 should be reserved for the Live Final Tribal Council on Sunday.

Shamar, you have until Saturday at 8c/9e to post your statements/questions to the Final 3. Remember not to take up too much of their time as they have 10 other jurors to get to. Please no listing or questions requiring novels for answers. You should post all of your statements/questions in your opening post in this thread. There is a live Final Council on Sunday where you will get to address everyone live about the statements they have made as well ask follow-ups.

I’m gonna keep this very simple yall. I know some of you were fake and some were real. I’m not here to call you out on that. I told everyone from the beginning I was going to play a social game and that included actually taking the time to get to know every single person I interacted with in game. So all I have to ask is: tell me something I told you in game that wasn’t a basic “my occupation, my relationship status, etc”. I want you all to show me that you actually played the social game and didn’t just gamebot your way to the end. Other than that, I’m glad to see you all sitting there and despite all the craziness of the game, it’s been a lot of fun and looking forward to knowing everyone here.

I think our connection to this song is the biggest takeaway I have with you on a personal level. The night we talked about music and your students in connection to this song is always what sticks out to me when I think of you and it's a pretty unique memory for me.

Well one of my earliest memories of you is when your heat died! I was worried you would freeze to death and become the first Stranded medevac via freezing - wouldn't that be a legacy? But one other thing that I never forgot was, surprise surprise, to do with food. We had been talking about food and orders and eventually the cheesecake factory. I told you how jealous I was and I wished I could have some and THEN you offered to somehow door dash me an order. I'm not sure if that would have been possible because I feel like we would break some ID rules lol (plus there's sadly no Cheesecake factory near me ) and maybe you were mostly joking, but that stood out to me since I thought it was incredibly sweet and thoughtful.

Thanks Shamar...and keep drinking that water!

Hi Shamar, first I want to apologize for saying in DMs to certain players that I thought you were playing the game like Vecepia and it was annoying me. I don't remember ever saying anything personally mean about you but that doesn't excuse some of the competitive comments I made. So I hope you can accept my apology.

We talked a lot about things outside the basics (at least from my perspective). One that hasn't been covered by Sherri already is your watching and potentially applying for the Sequester show. It was a really fun introduction to that series and it would've led to more fun conversations if I had gotten to watch it during the season. Other things I enjoyed talking about were your goal of becoming a teacher and the courses you took in college. Getting to hear more about your personal goals and about your passions and interests was fun and our Bible-length messages back and forth in the first week or so of the game are something I will remember fondly.
