This is Hali's Final Tribal Council Thread.

All other Jurors should remain in their own threads. 

Hali, you have until Saturday at 8c/9e AM to post your statements/questions to the Final 2. Remember not to take up too much of their time as they have 8 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.

Hello and congratulations on making it this far into the game! I’m trying my best to keep an open mind about who to vote for, and I hope both of you take this opportunity to help the jury see the game through your eyes.

Voce:
If you would’ve won the last immunity challenge, who would you have taken to f2 and why?

Stephanie:
We played together closely, but what is one important piece of information you kept to yourself and never told me that might’ve helped you stay in the game until the end?

Thank you in advanced!

Hi Hali, yes please keep a very open mind and pick me lol. But seriously to answer your question, I would have had to take Stephanie.  The truth is me and her had talked about a F2 a while back.  Of course there was the tribal where You, Mike and Stephanie voted for me, but i really did try to see it from your point of view. It was a quick challenge and then tribal. I know there wasn't much time, and Stephanie really did feel bad about the whole thing.  In that moment I made a F3 pact with Sydney and Michelle, which i shouldn't have, because they would never have gone for me anyways.  After Stephanie and I decided to re-make our F2 pact and this time for real.  I meant it from my end, and obviously she kept her word too.

Hey Hali!

We played together closely, but what is one important piece of information you kept to yourself and never told me that might’ve helped you stay in the game until the end? 

One important piece of information that I kept to myself that allowed me to get to the end was at the F5. You and I were outnumbered by Sydney, Voce, and Michelle. So obviously, you and I both knew that it was one of us going home. Our only hope to have a chance at staying was to convince Voce to vote out Sydney. Voce was a little suspicious of me, still (because of the previous Tribal), but he outright told me that I was not his target and that he was making sure that you went home first. He kept assuring me this. Even after you and I had both worked our asses off to convince him to work back with us. Knowing that you were the actual target now, I decided not to press Voce further and to just let your boot happen. Trust me, I tried everything to save you. I was afraid that he might change his mind and target me instead if I tried anything else. He had already told me multiple times that I was extremely good at convincing him. That’s what triggered me to just stop, calm down, and rethink my plans going forward. I tried to save you and get Voce to actually make a move, but at the same time, at the end of the day, I need to look out for myself and make sure that I stayed.
