Some great speeches there. I have to admit that I am really glad that we 4 managed to get into the final 4 together so that I could step back in time as I would not have wanted to write such a speech right now (My "Why not vote me out" speech was already written about 3 weeks ago.) and in fact I would not have the time to do it right now.
I mostly like what was written about me but i think Dippofix comes a bit short in both speeches. But well, I know that tactic, too
Brewers deserves the win, but nah, voting for him would be too mainstream. Plus, he told Jesleyh all our beautiful plans, and I can't accept anyone teaming up with that [insert your choice of word here]
Jesleyh wants the triple crown, but nah, can't vote for someone who edits my profile picture. Maybe if he uses that picture as his own for one day I might consider it.
And Dippo, well, age is on his side, he can come back and win it another time I guess.
So I guess I need a rules clarification. Are write in votes allowed? If so, I might have to cast my ballot towards a certain eevee. If not, I'm leaning towards abstaining. If you think you can really sway me, plz direct a message to my PM box in a non-obtrusive way (Jesleyh ) and I will consider your claim.

Soooooooooo, I don't really have the time to write a long speech here, I should really get back to studying. So it'll probably be the shortest one.
Well, where should I start? On Day one, the first thing I did was contact knockout about an alliance. Then Jesleyh contacted me about an alliance with him and Brewers, so that's how that started. Knockout joined us not long after, which was quite practical from the alliance managing point of view.
Then things were quiet for a while, with Brewers winning a lot, while I did just what Jesley did - not much. After finishing second in survivor, I pretty much knew I'd have to keep quiet, otherwise I'd be gone quite soon. I did however do well when I needed to - like when Admir (at least I think it was the Beautiful) put me up, and I won the veto by a landslide.
At some point I PM'd Dinger about an alliance, just because why not. That didn't really work out though, since he was eliminated pretty much straight away. Maybe it was better that way, as multiple alliances will always lead to a backstabbing - as I will come to.
The only point where I thought we were in danger was when Marco won that HoH. For whatever reasons (I'd really like to hear them!), Brewers stayed though, and that was that. When we got rid of him shortly after, it was my idea to not give him the chance of saving himself, but to put him up as a replacement.
Midway through the game, I was PMing The Hobbit, and at one point decided to just offer him an alliance - in case something goes wrong between me, knockout, Brewers and Jesley. That was a nice enough alliance, and I was quite sad when I did have to put him on the block, but there was just no way around it.
The toughest nut to crack was definitely SSJ2Luigi, who we had to get rid of not once, but twice. It nearly got close in the end, but luckily he went in the end. Fair play to him - if he'd have been clever enough to find himself some allies I have no doubt he'd be in this position now too.
So, that was the "How the game went"-part. Now to get to the part where I Barton-esquely describe how I'm the best.
Well, what did I do that I deserve to win the game for? Well, I played tactically well. I had my one big alliance, but if that alliance hadn't been such good fun (it really was, the alliance chat was actually better than the game its self, to me) I'd have had the possibility to take Kurt and The Hobbit and backstab Jesley and Brewers.
Of course as part of my tactic, I simply couldn't win many HoHs, however I was always in and around the Top 5. When I did need to win, like the one time I was OTB, I won it very easily, which shows what might have been. I also won a HoH at the end, when I thought we had it under control, even though I risked my allie the Hobbit to go out, which happened in the end.
Also, when Brewers said he didn't get eliminated because he was the strongest, I disagree. I think most people thought there was a strong alliance he wasn't part of, which would take care of him. Their mistake was not to realise that he was the strong alliance.
Anyway, I think that's enough for now. Good luck to Brewers and Jesley, who both deserve it too, and thanks to Jseadog for organising this, it was great fun!
That "I didn't want to win because of my tactic" story doesn't hold water. Brewers was simply the best when it came to winning challenges and I think that's clear to everyone who ever followed this game. For what I know (I was there for half of the game), there was only one situation where we (I am sure that it was me & Jesleyh, not sure if Brewers was part of it) let someone else win the challenge on purpose and didn't want to do it, due to tactical reasons. So yeah, kinda certain that these situations happened more than once, but even more sure that you (all of us) gave 100% to win them, most of time.
Therefore, shut the fuck up and deal with the fact that you suck. Yallah!

What about no? If I'd have won often, I'd have been put up whenever neither me nor my allies win. Just look at SSJ2Luigi - he went for it all the time, but eventually missed out, because you simply can't keep yourself in by winning every single fucking challenge.

I could do that but that wouldn't be any fun. I had more fun in big brother then in Survivor because here I needed to fight for survival, which I didn't needed to do in Survivor. so I'll think I'll use the "not clever way" and play the way I like better
@Luigi Fun? I bet you didn't have half as fun as our alliances had in the chats
@Jseadog Given that it doesn't really favour participants to win challenges(enough), I think the game could use some modifications regarding that next time. Just my two cents
His alliances controlled everything. You put me up once. Had I won a lot, you'd have put me up more often.
So you're telling me that you'd win more challenges than him if you gave your 100% or that he wouldn't win any if his alliances didn't control everything?

I would have thought that was the only way to guarantee you stay in? Anyway, not getting involved in the argument as I've already given my views on this in my speech.

Alright guys, you will now be required to answer your questions in a post right here!
Jesleyh:
Why do you think you are the strongest player who deserves to win?
Why did you use such cheap tactics in the most recent veto? And why do you think people haven't voted you out yet?
Is it true that paparazzi captured you and Kelderwoman in Van der Valk Hotel Assen in late hours at the night between 25th and 26st June, 2014 getting out of it while holding hands? Can you please explain us what you two actually did in that hotel, together?
How much would you lower Wilco Kelderman's stats in the next PCM.daily Stat Upgrade / DB to get a vote?
What was your biggest challenge in the game?
Do you think winning Survivor helped or hurt you during the course of this game?
brewers90:
Why do you think you are the strongest player who deserves to win?
Why are you so good at these challenges?
How does it feel not to be beautiful as Admir?
Complete and explain the sentence: The biggest dick in british sport is ___________ .
What was your biggest challenge in the game?
You won the most challenges and played the best game. How would you feel if you lost?
Dippofix:
Why do you think you are the strongest player who deserves to win?
Is your voice even deeper than Admir's?
How does it feel to be Irish, ginger and drunk whole day?
On a scale from 1 (Gibraltar) to 100 (Bhutan): How crappy is the Irish National Football team?
What was your biggest challenge in the game?
Do you feel like you were carried this far in the game like you were in Survivor?

Why do you think you are the strongest player who deserves to win?
Because I was the strongest player! I won most of the HoHs at a key phase of the game when everyone was trying to win, which enabled the alliance to control the game and get rid of the remaining dangers to our superiority. Once we got closer to the end and the only real rival was Luigi, I stepped back a bit (I even said so in the Group chat). The chess tournament in particular, I forfeited so Jesleyh could have the win (he can't deny that one). I was also never put on the Block, which shows I got my game tactically spot on. Of course, dinger was better than me in every way but got unlucky early on, so the question should read "Why do you think you were dinger's closest rival?"
Why are you so good at these challenges?
Strange question. It depends. Some of them, I was just here at the right time. Other ones, I just had the necessary skills to beat everybody else. I guess being a bit older than most of the other contestants must have some advantage. I have good general knowledge and logic, which helped me with a couple. And I won the two best auctions in the game. As well as a picture of Jackie Chan (it may or may not have been Jackie Chan, but I'm afraid I used it to write rude messages to Jesleyh, so can no longer remember).
How does it feel not to be beautiful as Admir?
Well, it doesn't bother me too much. I mean, let's face it, there are billions of people in the world who have to deal with the exact same problem. I'm not the only one who has to accept Admir's perfection. However, he was too beautiful and got voted out, probably due to jealousy, so it's clearly better to be average looking in everyday life.
Complete and explain the sentence: The biggest dick in british sport is ___________ .
Tough one. I guess you want me to put Froome but he isn't British. Or maybe Wiggins, but no, he's alright. He just has a sense of humour that most non-Brits don't get. Now I think about it, there sure are a lot of contenders. Oh my god, we're all dicks. This must be why Scotland want independence. No, wait, they're dicks as well. God knows, uhm..., this is really difficult. Oh, hang on a minute, no it isn't.
The biggest dick in British sport is JOHN TERRY.
What was your biggest challenge in the game?
"Getting rid" of the other alliance was easily the toughest challenge. We (Admir, Code, Jesleyh and myself (Welker was supposed to be there as well but hardly ever was)) had some good fun and were a strong team but that was always a fake alliance for me and Jesl, so we knew we had to destroy it before they got too far in the game. We convinced Admir and Code to get rid of Welker because we knew he was in another alliance with NTTHRASH and Dippo (and Cycleman as well I think). Then we (the main alliance) decided after I won another HoH to remove Admir as we thought he was the biggest threat. Fortunately, we were able to instantly remove Code in the next round and that was that. It probably looked bad on me as I was the one that actually made the backstabbing move but I can assure you that Jesleyh was heavily involved as well.
You won the most challenges and played the best game. How would you feel if you lost?
TheHobbit.exe launched:
I'd feel that everyone hates me, like I do all the time. I just won't bother in the future so you won't have to not vote for me. I will leave the site and never come back .
TheHobbit.exe terminated
If Jesleyh was to beat me, then I, like most people I suspect, would be quite surprised. Not because he deserves it less but because you all stated at the start that you'd rather anybody but him win again. Dippo really is fantastic tactically and probably quite underrated as a player. He keeps getting to finals so he must be doing something right. But I would be pretty gutted if I lost to either. I got them through the first half of the game almost single-handedly. Though, like knockout, I'd still be pleased that our alliance won and that somebody I can call an "Internet friend" took the win. Yeah, I went there, internet friend. And what? It's a thing. Don't mock me!

Oh god. Those questions...
I'd better answer them when I get back to my pc, tomorrow afternoon.
Gives me some thinking time too: How can I answer these questions while remaining serious.
Thanks Admir and Code!
Oh, and @ the chess challenge:
Yes, I got to the final without beating Brewers. I can't deny.
However, I wanted to play Brewers! He just kept saying that he sucked in chess anyway, and that there was no point in playing, because I would win anyway
Now that is something he can't deny Edited by Jesleyh on 28-06-2014 19:19
No problem my friend, always there for you (to ask you weird questions)!
And Brewers , now these are proper answers! On one side - shame I was the one that you had to get rid of, while on another it's nice that you find it the hardest (most challenging) moment of this game and you saw me as the biggest threat. Getting rid of Code wasn't hard, as he stopped caring about this once I got evicted.
However, I need to correct you: You didn't convince us to evict Welker, that was mine & Code's plan basically from start.

Sorry, bad wording. I more meant you can't win every challenge to keep yourself in, if you know what I mean.
And I actually forgot the "Iron Curtain" alliance, that's how inactive it was.
