I think it's been pretty obvious where my vote's going, but I do feel like one person answered these questions the best which makes me even more comfortable voting for her.

Comparing the 2, neither were ever in real danger of leaving the game at any point. (they can both say all day long they could have voted each other out if they wanted to, but I judge based on what actually happened and not what COULD have happened) so they tie in safety for me. They both got to the end, so they both had equally good strategies that got them to the end. Sydney got dealt the best hand in the whole game and played that hand wonderfully. Chelsea was dealt a good hand and used the hand she was dealt to her advantage to always be in the majority and to always keep herself safe. So once again they tie for me plus they were about even in comps. So I only have 1 option left and its to vote based on what I saw myself while I was actually in the game. I saw Chelsea as a leader and a huge threat, I forgot Sydney even existed. Sydneys excuse for voting me out was "assuming" I was the head of my alliance so by that logic, I should vote Chelsea to win since I always "assumed" she was the head of her alliance.
Also, if Sydney had so much control in the game, why did she feel the need to smooth things over with Chelsea at the Matt tie-breaker. She had the majority votes on her side already, so she no longer needed Chelsea but she hung on to her anyway, so her story just really doesnt make sense

I am still SO torn! Like I see why both of them deserve to winner, I can't recall a game where I have been so at a loss with a final vote decision. This is SO hard!!!! Has Lex said when the final votes are due?
One thing though, I am glad that after how hard we played the game the winner is going to be deserving regardless.

To me it's not that hard, lol. One person pretty much brings up all the points I was already thinking while the other pretty much continues to rely on one point.

Also, all of this - you used pre-games more than I did..I don't know about all of you but I'd call pre-games pretty much a wash. What's funny is I think it'll come down to a lot of votes based on those very pre-existing relationships they are arguing about...with the exception of at least Semhar, Chase and myself.

I like both of them are fighting hard for it. Well, I see A SHINING difference in their game - one of them signed up WITH someone [Chelsea signed up with Matt] in order to go together ot the end; they didn't. Sydney figured out she knew people in the process. I knew a lot people as well - Shawna, Semhar I knew you guys too - but that doesn't mean we were going to work together. I can see a definite difference in the games. Plus, Chelsea's poem was about BJ leaving from what I saw. That's her best move in the game? It's pretty irrelevent. They'd both be good winners as players OUTSIDE this game, but I think Sydney rocked it during this game. Chelsea was perieved as a threat from the BEGINNING becaue people know her from other games, not because of this one. I love her to death, but I am voting based on gameplay. But still both would be good winners IMO, just Sydney deserves it more based on this game (once again).

I didn't know Chelsea yet I saw her as a huge threat and I saw her as the leader of her alliance. Whether that was true or not, it was perception and that's what mattered. I also think Sydney's "point" that Chelsea was "never in danger" only adds to the fact that Chelsea was playing a solid game since 1) she was seen as a big threat but 2) she wasn't in danger. She was obviously doing something right. Sydney's two goats also take away from her game for me, whereas, like Chelsea said, many of her pre-existings actually became more threats to her...yet she was never in danger, lol. Why someone sees that as a bad thing I'm not sure.

Yeah, I see your point. However, I never really wanted Chelsea gone so her saying that is not true. I started wanting her gone after F6 [because she wanted me gone at that point]. I wanted a F4 of me-Tom-Sydney-Chelsea. That's why I said her answers are far-fetched. And she was never in danger becasue of Sydney.

I'll see your point and raise you...you did want her gone whether it was at F6 or earlier, lol. But, she stayed. Sydney would have been smart to take you and Tom to the end. Maybe she was smart taking Chelsea (if she wins), but my point is that Chelsea still survived when a lot of us in the jury thought she was toast at F6. Sydney wants to say that was because she deemed it so but I don't think it was all on Sydney. Chelsea had to do something right not to get voted at at that point.
I guess just because that can be seen so many different ways was why I also looked at a lot of things prior to F6 which helped me decide.

Yeah, I told Sydney that at F5 as a reason to vote out Chelsea but she was not going to budge. I told her all of this but she was, like, really confident in her game to take the risk. I'd be happy if it works out for her, but I'd be happy if Chelsea wins too because I like her and it'd just be lolz to see Sydney lose when she herself knew Chelsea was a threat. That's why I was hoping someone would clear their relationship rather than all the other ones.
