Trial By Jury
On the last episode, the final immunity challenge took place. Each of the final three were given the task of figuring out who said what quote during the game and who they were talking about. Out of a possible 42 points, Sammi took it by half and secured her spot in the final 2. In a live tribal council immediately following, Sammi realized she had only one shot at winning the game. Matt became our final jury member. Now both Sammi and Mag face the jury with one last chance to secure their vote.
Sammi’s Trial
Opening statement…
Hi Juryy
This has been a long game with triumphs and tribulations, but overall such a great game to play. Ive really enjoyed myself this whole time evn if at times I doubted people and figured I wasnt going very far at all, but I made it and am very proud of myself
Im just going to make this short and sweet because I dont want to reveal anything that people may have for questions. We all know how this is going to go. Lets make this fun... or bitter whichever you perfer. But fun sounds better
Amanda’s Questions
You been here before you know what happens...
My first questions is the same I asked of Mags. Can you name one thing you learned about every jury member.
My second questions is....what exactly was your strategy coming into this game? How is it any different from the last time?
Lastly why should I vote for you. You never spoke to me for more then like 30 seconds. So what in your strategy was different from mags that can show to me that you deserve my vote more then she does.
Sammi’s reply…
Can you name one thing you learned about every jury member.
Seeing as though every juror is from the other tribe yeah normally theres
Amanda - We did talk about The OC, but Im not sure if you sayd you liked it or not.
Kyle - Watches TAR and Flavor of Love on Sundays
Pat - He knows Chris and played Karen in BB:VV
Joe - Game host - hosted me in BB:Duplex!
Jacob - Is from Mississippi and 15. Is in 10th grade I believe and does show choir.
Samantha - I never talked to her but I think she's from Las Vegas
Matt - Works at a radio station. Loves Prison Break just as much as I do. Went to a wedding last wknd. Writes really love random blogs on myspace that I have yet to read
Oh sorry you sayd one thing.
My second questions is....what exactly was your strategy coming into this game? How is it any different from the last time?
First my strategy was to just make merge and go from there. I wanted to play better then I did in S3 seeing as though I really didnt do anything to make it to F2. This time I wanted to try not only to make merge but win some immunities and actually be a help to my tribe and alliance. I succeed. I was a big part of my alliance w/ Matt and Mag plus Luke giving my imput on who I thought should leave and who shouldnt. I wanted to be loyal to the ppl I was working with opposed to what happen last time. This time around I stuck it out w/ the 2 ppl I trusted most in this game and won 2 immunities. I think I did a lot better then last time.
Lastly why should I vote for you. You never spoke to me for more then like 30 seconds. So what in your strategy was different from mags that can show to me that you deserve my vote more then she does.
I think I deserve your vote b/c I never made PROMISES that I could not keep. Any game I play, if I give you a "I promise" or just "promise" then my word is golden. I never once took a promise I made back. Example: I promised Ryan I would NOT vote for him. When his time to go came, I did NOT vote for him. Evn if it was against my alliance. I promised him something that I was not going to back down from.
If I didnt answer you're questions fully, let me know. The 1st question was very hard for me to answer considering whenever I talked to someone it was always about the game and some ppl like Pat didnt evn talk to me when I tried to IM them. Kendra was out 1st and I got to know her better then half of you all.
Thxs
Kyle’s Questions
Okay so... I haven't really planned this one out so here we go...
Congrats on making final 2!
When I went apeshit the round I got booted, it wasn't because I really wanted Matt gone. I thought it might work but I really wasn't sure, knowing that everyone felt Sam & I didn't deserve to be in the game to begin with.
I mean, I wasn't going to win the game anyway, why not do something crazy. If it worked, I was going to play the rest of the game that way. I sure as hell wouldn't have gotten any jury votes if I made it to the end playing a regular old game unless it was Samantha there with me and what were the odds of that.
Anyway, what I got out of it all was a better understanding of the social dynamics and who the best and/or most resilient players were.
After that, I learned some more things from the other jurors. I'm taking all of that into consideration when making my vote and I don't really have any questions.
Pat’s Questions
alright.....
**walks up in front of fire**
Im gonna start it off normally, saying Congrats to the Final 2 of Sammi and Mag... deffinetly wouldnt of expected it if you told me at the beginning of merge. But hey, expect the unexpected. No offense, but seeing 2 people of the Togor tribe make the final 2.. is kinda sickening.. just because the only reason you are there is a lame come-back twist... you guys would most likely woulda been picked off.... but hey.. you outlasted us.. great job..
Sammi, hey girl! I deffinetly had fun playing this game with you. I mean, since meeting you with after meeting Chris, I figured we would bond a little bit more. I was surprised we didnt talk much. I dont really know how you played the game or anything like that....you can explain if you want, but my question for you tonight is, what was your biggest mistake, or something you regret from MERGE- to now....
hopefully I get a good answer... and good luck to ya hun...
**Kisses**
Sammi’s answer…
Hey Pat! Im really surprised that we didnt talk much either. I did try to talk to you tho!! lol. I tried twice and the one time you logged off haha. Oh well. Maybe we can chat a lil more now that the game is over?
And just a quick lil recap for you: I played my game by keeping my promises and trusting who I needed to to get where Im at. I would go into more detail, but Im sure theres going to be other ppl that ask this type of question
My biggest mistake or regret. Hmm. I sayd in my answer to Matt that I dont regret anything I did. And the only thing I might regret was BEFORE merge, so I cant evn say that. Uhm. If Im going to be honest I would say that my biggest mistake or regret is nothing. If I hadnt made the choices I did I would not be here, I dont think. And its pointless to regret something you have no control over now.
Thxs Pat. If you want to know anymore. Obviously just ask
Joe’s Questions
Congrats on making the F2 Sammi. I don't think we realy got to know each other in this game and I really dilike that you are putting all the blame on me. You and Samantha are the ONLY two people I hardly talked to in this game and I was around, just for some reasons you never IMed me and I never IMed you. And in the last few days I was here I took the initiative to talk to you.
I have a question for you though. The round you told the whole game that I didn't deserve to still be in, you told me privately that you could also say the same about yourself. You said you didn't seem to do much in the game and personally I haven't seen you do much. Here are my questions:
I want to know why you deserve to be here over everyone else?
What did you do other then make that alliance with Mag and Matt?
Everyone believed you had an alliance with Jacob, was this true? Did you ever plan to honor the agreement that I would be the 4th in the F4 with You/Matt/Mag?
Sammi’s reply…
Hey Joe before I get into my questions. I dont know why we never really talked. I really havent put any blame on you if you are talking about the answers Ive given already. Please let me know where Ive put blame on you and then I'll be happy to go into it more.
I want to know why you deserve to be here over everyone else?
Over most people that were in the game, I really did not lie and cheat my way to get here. There were deffiently times where I lied about who I was voting for to the person I was voting for, but I really didnt give anyone false hope of teaming up together unless you count Jacob b/c I did make him think I mightve jumped over to vote Matt or Mag out when he needed me.
My position in this game has always been a good one, so I think. I dont think I was really mentioned as a vote off decision nor was I completely out of the loop as to what was going on. I wasnt a threat, but I wasnt completely useless. I always had felt that when come merge, people were going to take Matt and Mag out before they evn bothered with me.
Ive played my game on promises that I kept and did not break, as well as being as honest as possible. Most people in this game cannot say that.
What did you do other then make that alliance with Mag and Matt?
Before Merge - I worked with Ryan to at least get to merge (which I had promised not to vote for him and I didnt). And then I also had Dave too. I had both of them off to the side incase I needed their vote or something. Some part of me wasnt really sure on how I was going to do getting into merge w/ the 3 S2ers so I needed to have some ppl behind me incase they had a change of heart of some sort. I did try to keep Dave around, but not hard enough, not as hard as I shouldve. And yeah I wanted Ryan around, but he shot himself whenever he started bitching people out.
After merge - I won two immunities, where as I won NONE in my season. Which is a HUGE accomplishment for me in itself. It shows I actually can win things. Also Jacob and I KIND OF worked together, but had no alliance of any sort, I dont believe.
Everyone believed you had an alliance with Jacob, was this true? Did you ever plan to honor the agreement that I would be the 4th in the F4 with You/Matt/Mag?
When I was told about this alliance w/ Jacob I was shocked. As far as I know Jacob and I did NOT have any set alliance or deal. We were kind of just both in talks, I guess I could say. We never talked about aligning.
I really did not want to honor the F4 agreement we made with you b/c I WAS scared of this thing you and Mag mightve had. I feared that if you got to the F4, Mag mightve had a change of heart and voted with you to force a tie. And I really did not want that to happen.
Thxs. If you want to know anything else. Just ask!!
Maybe we can talk some more now that the game is over. No pressure!
Jacob’s Questions
Hey Sammi! Let me start off by saying Congratulations, and how much you surprised me. I REALLY thought this would turn into another JF3 and you would win and take Matt, or vice versa. What a shocker it was when I found out you eliminated Matt, so major respect to you. I have a few questions for you...
Question #1- What would you say your most strategical move in the game was?
Question #2- This is always a fun question. Say there is going to be a Jungle Fever All-Stars movie, and only real Big Brother players (I know you don't watch Survivor) will be starred in this movie. Take each member of the jury, Yourself, and Mag and tell me who would be playing who, and why.
Question #3- Tell me why you deserve my vote over Mag.
Congratulations Again!
Sammi’s reply…
Thxs Jacob - Surprised I didnt take Matt and not more surprised that I won final immunity!? lol
Question #1- What would you say your most strategical move in the game was?
The most obvious strategical move was allining myself with Mag, Matt, and Luke in the beginning of the game. If it wasnt for teaming up with them I would not be here at all. We have all done our fair share of looking out for one another and making sure we were all safe. Granted at times it was really hard, esp when everybody and their mothers wanted Matt out, but we had to stick to what we thought was right. I owe Matt and Mag especially for taking me into merge over Luke. I cant thank them both enough. I love you both to pieces.
Question #2- This is always a fun question. Say there is going to be a Jungle Fever All-Stars movie, and only real Big Brother players (I know you don't watch Survivor) will be starred in this movie. Take each member of the jury, Yourself, and Mag and tell me who would be playing who, and why.
Oh man. This will be interesting. I'll use the people from BBAS seeing as though this is an All-Star game
Amanda - Diane; Little bit of an attitude and a "Im better than you" persona, but really a good person. You probably didnt have your moment to shine like Diane. I think everyone might of underestimated you as well.
Kyle - Jase; Your pushing and odd behavior got him the boot.
Pat- Marcellas; Now the only reason why I give you this is because I knew you before the game. You are crazy and lively. You did not show that to me in individual conversations, but you deffiently showed so in the chats. Marcellas has a big lively character and I know you do too.
Joe - Howie; You were there, but not really. Everyone knew you were around but you were kind of just taking up space. Sorry if that seems rude. If you tried harder you couldve been a beast at the game.
Jacob - Chicken George; I mean this in the NICEST way. Everyone underestimated but there were some ppl that knew what you could do. Everyone thought you werent very good at challenges, but I always watched you. You are deffiently a lot smarter then ppl think.
Samantha - Nakomis; Everyone tends to forget that she was there. And Im sure if you started out in the game you wouldve been a good competitor.
Matt - James; Not only was Matt very good at the challenges but he was good at convincing people of things. Granted it didnt convince me to take him to F2, lol, but he influenced votes very much so. And deffiently got the short end of the stick.
Mag - Erika; The sweetheart of the game. Everyone loves and you hate to turn on people.
Sammi - Janelle/Will; The ONLY reason Im choosing both of them is because in 2 different Big Brother games Ive been referenced to them. I think it was because I played more of a social game for the fact that I sucked at challenges, but I did win some challenges this time around. Im just not a mastermind like them.
Question #3- Tell me why you deserve my vote over Mag.
I think I deserve your vote over Mag b/c Ive set goals for myself and made them. I goaled for merge and then I goaled for F3, then F2. (Can goal evn be used as a verb?) Anyway. I think Ive done really well this time around then last time. I made promises where I needed too and broke none. Now Dave might disagree with that but checking back in my DR, I dont remember once PROMISING him a F2. I sayd I would like that. As I have sayd and probally will say, promising is golden in my book. You get a promise from me you will get my word and it is solid. I have stayed true to who I needed to stay true too. So yeah over Mag, I think I should win.
Thxs Jacob!
Samantha’s Questions
Sammi, why did you choose Mag over Matt
Sammi’s reply…
I took Mag over Matt b/c I feel she and I have an equal of winning this thing whereas if I took Matt he wouldve won hands down.
Thxs for the question
Matt’s Questions
Congratulations to you both etc etc...read the other thread...I mean really.
1. Explain your reasoning for voting each one of the jurors out of the game at that point in time. Really go back and think about the situations you were in. If, you didnt have a lot of say in that vote, explain why. (Sammi you'll obviously have one extra to do because you made the last decision).
2. Did it ever cross your mind to break our alliance of 3?...Remembering that the episodes will follow this, and I will shoot you in the face if you lie (with a nerf gun...but still). I'm sure both of you pondered it at some point, and I'm looking for reasoning.
3. Sammi, a pretty easy question for you...that takes a little imagination. If you lose this vote to Mag by a large margin (7-0 or 6-1) will you regret the choice you made of bringing her to the F2?
Thank you, and congrats again, you guys deserve it.

Amanda - I pushed really hard for Amanda to leave and Im not really all that sure why. I remember Mag and I wanting Samantha gone b/c we didnt like her. But you changed our minds to... Amanda I think. Which it took me a lil while to jump on board with, but when I did come around you guys felt guilty about promising her F4 and I was like "well, I didnt so I dont care" and thats where I stood with it. Amanda leaving was really kind of pointless at the time, but someone had to go and we needed the numbers.
Kyle - Kyle left for the fact that he was pushing for you to leave. None of us wanted you to leave, so thass why he had to go.
Pat - Pat also tried to rally up people to vote you out. I really wanted Joe to leave for the fact that Jacob just kept saying things about Mag and it was making me wonder. But I had been planning on voting for Pat to leave, but my car ran outta gas and I never got to voting.
Joe - Joe left b/c Jacob had immunity. And Samantha was our key to getting to F3
Jacob - His was simple he was far stronger then Samantha to bring into F4 and he had the chance of winning the immunity then which wouldve knocked one of us out.
Samantha - We wanted our F3 together. She had to go.
Matt - The ONLY reason why I voted you out was because I knew if you came into F2 you would have won. You played a great game and I knew I could not chance that.
2. Did it ever cross your mind to break our alliance of 3?...Remembering that the episodes will follow this, and I will shoot you in the face if you lie (with a nerf gun...but still). I'm sure both of you pondered it at some point, and I'm looking for reasoning.
Oh yes I thought about it. A lot. Esp when we got to merge. Mainly when we got to merge. I dont think I really thought about changing my mind while in our tribes. If I did it was lying to Dave and Ryan about voting one of you out, but evn then I told you both. Whenever we merged - not when we first merged. But when it started getting down to the wire w/ like Pat, Jacob, Joe, Samantha, Me, Mag, and you. I wasnt really sure how much of a shot I had at going F2. I started thinkn about it more when Pat was voted out and Jacob kept going on about Joe-Mag. That scared me to be completely honest. I wasnt sure if Mag was going to stick with us b/c everytime I'd mention him the conversation kind of got steered away to "we cant get rid of him... how bout blah blah blah" So yes I did think about it. But I knew if I had turned on either of you I wouldve felt completely lousy about it. I cant help if I play with my heart, I try not too, but its hard.
3. Sammi, a pretty easy question for you...that takes a little imagination. If you lose this vote to Mag by a large margin (7-0 or 6-1) will you regret the choice you made of bringing her to the F2?
If Mag does win by 7-0 or 6-1 then I cant say I wont be upset about it, cuz I do think she and I have an equal shot at winning this. Will I regret it? Not at all. Just like I would not have regretted if you won and I were here with you. We kept saying, 'I dont care who wins as long as one of us does.' Now that its F2 does that just all get tossed under the rug? If Mag wins I will be completely happy for her, just shows that I need to play evn better the next game I play. Again, I will be upset that I didnt win and especially by a large margin like those, but I will be very happy for her. I dont regret a decision Ive made in this game if I did I wouldnt be here
And just a quick note. Matt I hope you arent upset with me for taking Mag over you. I have so much respect and admiration for you and I hope we'll continue to talk.
Thxs.
Closing Statement…
First I'd like to start off my saying thxs to Tina for a great game. It was a lot of fun and Im very happy that I played!
Second, I wanna just say thxs to Mag and Matt for being two of the best people in this game that Im so happy to have got to know and hopefully will continue to talk to after this game. As well as some other people.
Now, thxs to the jurors who gave some great questions and really made me think as to why I should be here.
I had felt that when I got to F3 with Mag and Matt, if we evn survive that long, that I would of ended up with the 3rd place spot b/c I knew they wouldve taken each other. I just had to hope to high hell that I would beable to pull off some miracle and win the Immunity.
Well look what happen. I won it. Of course throughout the game I kept thinkn what would get me further. What would give me that top spot. Whether I made some badd decision or not, I dont regret it. Not a bit. Regretting things would mean chances are I would not be here.
Ive played this game to the best of my ability. I stuck with my core alliance w/o flipping! Woo. lol. And I didnt give anyone the false hope of getting anything further. When Jacob came to me about the vote off of Matt - I did think about it, but I also told him that I could NOT vote off Matt. I couldnt turn on him and Mag when we were so close.
I may have not played as well as a social game as Mag did, but I did play a good (IMO) strategical game.
Of course I wont slaughter Mag's name b/c she is a great person and I love her to death, but I feel that I should win.
The only 2 decisions I have felt badd for doing was voting out Jacob and not taking Matt to F2. But I do not regret them no matter what the outcome.
Again thanks for making this a great game Tina and everyone else. I love you all to absolute pieces <3
