VOTESMike:Again, a big congratulations to the both of you for making it to the end. I have to say, Im really impressed with both of them and how they handled the Q&A, although Michael’s opening scared me. I think only one of you really played a phenomenal game however, and that’s why my vote tonight is for…
[ MICHAEL ].
As a player, Michael really did balance the social, the strategy, and the competition aspects in a way that puts all of us to shame. Michael had a relationship with every single person, whether it personal or gaming. Ryan didn’t. On a strategy front, Michael was really responsible for a lot of jurors going home even if it was by accident. He played a more important role in the decisions made than Ryan did. And in competitions, Michael by far overtook Ryan. And I respect Michael for winning the final HoH when he easily could have thrown it.
As a person, Michael is just everything you want in a friend. I wasn’t the only one who connected with him obviously, as he was quite popular. I love you dude, and this game would not have been nearly as fun if I didn’t have the experience with you.
So for both game and personal reasons, I am proud to cast a vote for Michael to win SUX9. Congratulations dude, because you 110% deserve it.
Eric:I vote Ryan
i know this is kind of a lost cause, because i think he will lose. But michael was never looking out for my best interest so at the end of the day yes i am voting personal
Stacey:VOTING MICHAEL TO WIN.
reason:
because canadians sux.
jk.
kinda.
nah, i feel like michael played a better game than ryan. he did SO well for his first game. i believe that both were cocky.. but michael has more reason to be cocky than ryan does. so i really think that michael deserves this win just because his game was a lot smoother and better than ryans. congrats brah.
Robbie":i vote ryan to win bye!
Jordan:I vote for Michael to win the game.
Ultimately, it comes down to who had more of an impact on the way events occurred in the game. Ryan played his game very well but he didn't do nearly as much as Michael did. I'm impressed with Michael. If this is really his first game, it didn't show. Well, maybe it did a little but he adapted quickly and it paid off. Congrats Michael!
Jake:One of the things I respect most about people who play the game are players that have balls to make decisions for themselves and aren't afraid to get there hands dirty. I completely disagree with your take on what a strong player is Ryan. It is easy to sit in the shadows and do nothing and try to profess it to be strategy.
I have a criteria for how I vote.
One) Social Game
Ryan barely made any effort to get to know me or talk to me outside of the surface bullshit of how your day was. Michael went out of his way to talk to me all the time, even stuff completely non-game related.
Two) Impact
Michael made a much larger strategic impact on the game and single handidly eliminated three of thee best competitors [Myself, Jordan and Mike]. Ryan accomplished... nothing.
Three) Competitions
Michael won more competitions then anyone in the game. Ryan won two.
I don't even need to list the other two criterias I look for Michael already is 3/3.
Michael you played an excellent game and if you don't win this game will have been a travesty.
Jay:Sorry Alex for writing a frigging essay again ....
Finally, we have reached the point that we all wanted the final vote to decide who the winner of Big Brother Agrabah will be.
First of all, what a fascinating game it really has been, probably one of the best I think I’ve played in even though I didn’t reach as far as I have in my other games. I always said that I felt immensely out of the loop as soon as I was evicted so a lot of things that occurred after I left felt new to me until jury members revealed it the different drama related elements. My vote was always going to be the one that was easily swayed because for me I didn’t see that much of a difference between Michael and Ryan they both just did similar things when I was in the game. It was only until I left that I realised that they had more of different game play to each others that is. Lets talk a bit about the houseguests and where I think they deserve it and where I think they went wrong etc.
Jury questioning for me was a massive eye opener, with such a tricky game, it was hard to comprehend everything but the questioning made it easier.
MICHAEL
– You played a really good game, in fact probably one of the best in the whole game but there were a couple of hitches in your game play. Nobody plays perfectly and we, as jurors, are told to be critical of every aspect so don’t take what I write as gospel truth. I’m going to start with the negatives of your game. You played a good game but for me, it started too late. I think that it is easy to overlook the fact that your game didn’t start working until week of my eviction but that was round six, a lot happen before then that I thought u were completely invisible in. For me, you just didn’t do much in the first six rounds, and that kind of bothered me.
You can’t just start playing half way and accept to be crowned the winner, you were silent in the first six rounds and that isn’t a sign of a good player. You and Ryan both sugar coated the fact that neither of use left any impact what so ever throughout your stay and were non entities in the beginning I suppose this is where Ryan beats you in that respect. You also struggled with the social aspect of the game and before I continue I’d like to just add that no, whilst I admire that it is your first game, no I don’t think it should be uttered in so many of your jury answers, after a while, it got annoying and it seemed as if you were ‘plugging’ the fact that it was your first game. You’ve seen the show, you must know the social aspect of it, and you’ve lived and probably have socialised on msn or AIM before, so being quite boring in the beginning or not talkative isn’t a justification for me. Another bad point is that in your jury answers you kept beating around the bush in terms of evicting Mike. I personally think that if you’re close to someone regardless of if you felt ‘hesitant’ or not, the bottom line is you picked Ryan because he was easier to beat, lets just make that clear. Also during my eviction week you lied and backstabbed me beyond reasonable explanation, and I don’t think someone who is able to be that mean and collected should walk away with the title.
Now onto the good points, your Jury answers were far better than Ryan’s, your game ultimately was explained in a thorough and concise manner. After Majority Rules task, despite being voted ‘Most likely to win’ you somehow managed to stay UTR and appeared non-threatening. People were genuinely happy about seeing you crowned the winner and I have to say that you never rubbed anyone the wrong way (Well not during my stay) and you were really a pleasure to speak to for the most part. Your alliances with Travis and Eric came as a shock to me and being able to hide them is also commendable. However your alliance with Mike was not as hidden but because I liked Mike I trusted you and therefore you went unnoticed for a while. You won pretty tricky competitions to my knowledge and being that it is your first game your whole game play was impressive.
RYAN
You reached the final, so regardless of what people say you did a good enough job to get to that position. It is not easy and you really did not have a good ride, in fact a lot of the times your ability to not hide things, made it blatantly obvious where your mindset was at and you were able to survive four open evictions. Firstly your bad points, in an odd and contradictory type of way, the fact that you weren’t able to ‘lie, cheat and backstab’ kind of made it obvious when you were not happy with what I was saying or happy with my behaviour. I think there were a lot of times in the game where you didn’t agree with me and you made it obvious and made me very wary of you especially through your odd relationship with Travis. You let slip a lot of things and I still believe and still think that you were not able to be as ‘ruthless’ as other people. I don’t think I’m ruthless so don’t think I’m saying being ruthless means you should win because that isn’t the case. Your jury answers, whilst were detailed, were complete and utter crap. I’m sorry, you tried hard with what you got, and you wrote a brilliant academic essay as someone said in the jury. But that isn’t what it takes to be a good game player, and you were beating around the bush a lot with your answers.
A lot like Mich, you didn’t really ‘play’ the game properly in the first couple of weeks but your continuous nominations kept you in the forefront and for me, you were on my mind a lot, for both good reasons and bad where as I did forget Michael existed in the beginning. You were a separate entity and I always knew you were in the game and provided a different element. I think someone who plays that game throughout deserves to win not somebody that played it as the weeks got closer because those people end up being boring. You survived the first eviction and I actually had amazing chats with you. Unlike Michael, you spoke on a personal level, and were able to be social dynamite very early on in the game despite a lot people not always ‘understanding’ you. Your alliance with Eric was a good move because everybody treated you as the superior player and you would have won with flying colours had you both gone to the final together. You also must have approached people in the right manner in order to survive several evictions and your ultimate pawn status helped you out throughout.
But who will I pick to win that is the question?
Here it goes the person I choose to win Big Brother Agrabah
Is
Michael.
Out of the two of them Michael deserves to win, for the simple fact that his game was much better. He played completely under the radar in the first couple of rounds but kept the bonds up with a number of different people. He was considered a ‘waste’ of space by a lot of people and many people forgot about him continuously where as Ryan, was nominated several times which means people were always keeping Ryan in their mind, Ryan did not play an under the radar game at all. I think Michael was a little bit more clued on and that is remarkable given that it was his very first game. I commend his ability to trick me and I really mean that, he fooled me, lured me in hook line and sinker and then dashed my dreams. He was the one person I believed was going to vote to evict Mike in my round of eviction, how deluded was I? But he managed and that was amazing. His alliances helped him out a lot and yeah he did do a lot of things behind the scenes and that is what makes him the winner of this game. Look at it in any way you want, I think he has a problem with morals. He should have taken Mike and he shouldn’t have lied as much as he did but he played it the only way he knew and he did what he could to get to the final. He won the right competitions and he played the perfect social game, I don’t think being SUPER active helps people and that was my downfall but he was on at the right times and played that aspect well. I think he is a nice guy though and I think he deserves to win this game and his answers for the jury questions were spot on, he didn’t need to use words that resembled the length of twenty words he just did the only way he knew how. Well done Mich, I hope your bum is ruined with all the splinters of sitting on the fence and I hope you win the game.
Ryan, well done for coming second, I could not have put anyone else in the final two other than you, you played the underdog well but in the end, you just didn’t deserve it, but I do think you played a good game I just think you were up against a tough opponent.
CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL FOR WINNING SURVIVOR ULTIMATE XTREME 9: BIG BROTHER AGRABAH!!!
Survivor Ultimate Xtreme X: All Stars: Outer Space
