Courtney stands up next. She congratulates the Final Three on making it to the end, singling out her "two Villainesses" for special praise. She tells Parvati that she played a great, strong game, but Sandra is her girl and she wants the jury to know that Sandra has a great quality that is very important in this game: she's "loyal as hell." She wants Sandra to tell the jury that something they might perceive as a weakness is really a strength, and it's something Sandra did in her first season and again in this one. Sandra says that when she picks someone to be loyal to, she's loyal to him until the end. She was loyal to Courtney from the beginning of the game, and would go "bananas" if she heard anything about her going home. Nice callback to the bananas, Sandra. It's important that the jury remembers how important bananas were in this game. Because they were. Ridiculously so. "I love you, girl!" Sandra says. "I love you, girl," Courtney responds. "All right," Sandra says. The fact that Courtney loves Sandra so much tells me that Sandra is, indeed, awesome. Because Courtney is awesome. This is mathematically true, according to the transitive property of awesomeness. Probst tells Courtney to take a seat. "Thanks, Jeffrey," she says. Hee hee hee.
J.T. gets to speak next. He tells Li'l Russell that getting to the end of the game is only "half" of a good strategy -- you have to win, too. He asks Li'l Russell if he thinks he did a good job making sure that the people he voted out are willing to vote for him now. Li'l Russell says that yes, he truly believes that everyone on this jury will respect his amazing gameplay, especially since they've played this game before. "I might not get anybody's vote," he then says, but he played the only way he apparently knows how in order to make it to the end. Candice looks confused. Li'l Russell's problem is that he doesn't seem to realize that the jury doesn't hate him because he voted them out or that he made moves that got them voted out -- they hate him because of all the other stuff he did that was not necessary to the game or to getting people voted out. He was such an asshole that they can't get past it to "reward" him for however well he might have played. Frankly, I can't get past it to say anything positive about him or the things he did in this game, and I know he must have made some good moves. Not as good as he thinks, and if he didn't have amazing luck he would have been out a long time ago, but still. I'm sure he played this game well enough in certain respects. But I hate him so much that I just can't see it. J.T. asks Parvati "how you think you done." Parvati says she was a "huge threat" from the first day of this game, while Sandra was "kind of a sleeper." HA! You should never consider someone who WON this game to be a "sleeper." Especially when that's PART OF HER STRATEGY. What is the matter with these people? Parvati thinks Sandra gave just 50 or 60 percent in challenges, and after the merge, no one ever thought of voting her out. But Parvati was always a target, so she had to work hard to win immunity every time. J.T. asks Sandra if it's true that she only gave 50 percent in challenges. Sandra laughs and says that she gave her all in every challenge, but she's not a "physical person." "I know that," J.T. says. Okay, buddy. I didn't exactly see you winning challenges, either. Sandra then says she wishes she had known that J.T. was going to give the idol to Li'l Russell, because she would have taken it and given it right back to J.T. and warned him about Li'l Russell. "Me too!" Parvati says, now realizing that she should be distancing herself from Li'l Russell. J.T. doesn't want to talk about his mistakes, though, saying he screwed up and that's okay. He's not out for vengeance here. Li'l Russell is happy to hear this, saying that everyone else seems to think he's evil, and all he did was play this game. But J.T. is not exactly on Li'l Russell's side. "I'll lay in my bed, lay in yours," J.T. says. Li'l Russell tries to speak, but J.T. cuts him off and sits down.
