I'm not telling you what to ask, only a suggestion if you truly have no idea, but you could always question about this comment :
Jessica decided that it was okay to backstab me and break our friendship.
I really don’t know if I want to even ask a question. I may just make a statement. But that is a great quote to bring up in my statement. I’m deciding how nice I want to be.

Matt def brought the self-awareness I was looking for, and tbh he seems to be the most perceptive and have the best holistic perspective on what went down each round.

I still just have a sour taste in my mouth about how he handled my entire relationship--I feel quite used by him as it's clear from reading his statement that I was not in his plans at all from the beginning of the game. But I suppose we open ourselves up to this kind of thing when we sign up to play these. It still feels bad, though.

He cited me not whispering to him as me unintentionally signaling that I didn't prioritize him, but it was exactly the opposite--I didn't want to advertise that I was close to him. Kinda sucks that this got interpreted this way, but what can ya do?

I really liked Matt's statement and he went way up in my book. Possibly ahead of Sherri. I struggled by far the most with him socially bc he felt "completely full of shit" to me, and I took the cheeziness of his efforts (no doubt I was never very high on his list) as kind of threatening. If he could muster up that effort with me, he must have been doing great with players who were much more amiable. If I tried harder with him maybe I could have been lucky enough to have been a cog in a plan or 2 of his :|

Yeah I must have been too blind to see this because I started with him day one.

My basic run down on speeches:

Mike - He still sounds condescending in a slippery, devious kind of way. I felt this way the very first time I met him, and it’s still there when I read this. He is absolutely right that he helped me on the Hannah vote, no doubt, but even in moments where I had to trust him, it always felt like it came with a smile that hid disingenuity. Mike’s speech wasn’t bad, but unlike either Sherri or Matt’s speech, it just felt kinda icky.

Sherri - I really enjoyed her final speech. She opened with a laugh and while she made a solid case for herself, she kept it light. She acknowledged her weaknesses, but I think she should have to explain them a bit more. With thoughtful answers to these concerns, she will be tough to bear. And frankly, the girl knows the way to my heart—unadulterated flattery. Can’t argue with hot Aurora. 😉

Matt - I am very happy to see his self-awareness as others have mentioned. And while the vote by vote breakdown explained his strategic game, it also felt like he’s reaching. Now, that’s not really a fair criticism because he must reach to win. He has to show us why UTR and rolling in the middle is worth a win. But doing so doesn’t exude a winner’s attitude. The overall impression is, ironically, “gamebotty.”

I could have been much worse but I decided that the sass made up for it and he should get the point.
