No I agree that he should have kept Daniel at the final 6, I was just using that as an example for the amount of power he had in the game. Everyone relied on his vote. Again I'm not trying to take away from Sami's game because I think she's beaten a lot of odds to make it to this point, especially being called out as the frontrunner to win from very early on. I just don't think Aaron is getting the credit he deserved, I do think he controlled a good portion of the merge.

Yep I agree he controlled a lot, and he's getting credit for that. I just don't think he made the right moves. Just because you make a lot of decisions and have a lot of power doesn't mean you used the power right and made the best moves possible to getting to the end with the best odds of winning.

Chris' latest confessional is adorable. Him thinking he'd be a WTF winner is so endearing. Even tho I don't think he played the most AMAZING game, but he too played so strong and was such a great character that if he won I'd still be satisfied.
GL CHRIS!!!

[2:46:20 PM] Kirin: Did you watch Chris's latest video? I absolutely love his honesty and how humble and self-aware he is to realize that in the eyes of many people, him winning may not seem like the "perfect ending" to Japan [2:46:24 PM] Kirin: Like it honestly really touched me lol [2:48:04 PM] Sandy: MFG [2:48:05 PM] Sandy: kirin [2:48:08 PM] Sandy: i JUST POSTED [2:48:11 PM] Sandy: a comment about that video [2:48:14 PM] Sandy: in PW [2:48:17 PM] Kirin: LOL GMTA (heart)

I literally love Chris so much, on both a personal and a game level. I think him winning this game would not be a WTF winner at all! I agree with Sandy that his latest video was so adorable. I really admire how he was able to look at this game from another perspective, and how he acknowledged that some people might look down on the season if Sami doesn't come out the winner. But in my personal opinion, even without the bias of how much I love him, I think he'd be a phenomenal winner to this season. The "taking down the Chikara boys" was such a big part of this season, yet here he is, the last Chikara standing. He really played a great social game and let his personality shine through. During premerge he was in such a good position, literally no one was directly targeting him. Him and Cody had a lot of pull on the premerge, IMO. After the merge, after Robbie went home, the odds were against him but he was still able to use his other relationships to his advantage. He lost Cody, he lost Daniel, he lost Nicole, and here he is in the final 3! I think he's overcome so much, beaten so many odds and has a great storyline. I seriously am so proud of him for making it this far!!! TEAM CHRIS FOREVER

I can totally see the viewpoint that Aaron "deserves" the win as much as the other two, and I could even see him laying that out to the jury (since he'll undoubtedly be sitting in the final 2...though I was wrong about Craig in the final 3, so don't quote me this time). Still, based on my limited view of this jury, I don't get the sense that Aaron has played the best social game that would make a jury super enthusiastic to award him the win -- not as much as they'd be for Sami or Chris, anyway.
I think either Chris or Sami would make a fantastic winner. Chris as the last Chicara boy standing after he lost Robbie/Cody early into the merge, and Sami as an original hapless Yuubu and ZOMG A DOMINANT GIRL.
I do like the poetic nature of a female winning the second FvF since the last lady to win in this series was in the first FvF.
Go Sami go.

Sami told me she planned on going for 24 hours (at least) and wanted to break Nicole's record in the Endurance. If she does so without messing up, she will pass Chris's time of 10 hours (?)!

I think Aaron will be the Hatch in this round, he hasn't posted in the final challenge yet.

Maybe I'm biased and maybe I haven't paid close enough attention, but I don't get the sense that Aaron has the charisma or strong personality that either Sami or Chris possess, which is why I can easily see him losing regardless of who he's up against. I think he'd have a significantly easier time winning over Chris than he would over Sami. I mean, the Chikara boys even kinda still loved Sami despite hating her. I could see why he would think he'd be brought to the end regardless. There are definitely a whole list of things you can add to Aaron's resume of why he should win. I think it's respectable if someone sets themselves up in such a way that they're being brought to the end regardless, and we all know he certainly didn't sit on his butt achieving that. But I don't know that he'll really get the respect he deserves at the end.

So what's the deal with this final challenge? Is Sami gonna go all night? How long did Chris last? Is Aaron even gonna bother?
AND WHERE DID STEPHEN GO.

My timezone's timestamp says that Chris lasted from 05:30 am to 15:00 pm. That clocks him in at 9-and-a-half hours.
STILL no sign of Aaron yet and I don't think he will even catch up to Chris's score.
So far, Sami has clocked in at 13 hours and is still going strong. This challenge is hers. The record for strongest female iSurv1vor player is hers. The record for longest feat of challenge endurance is ~possibly~ hers. The title of sole iSurv1vor is, in all likelihood, hers as well.
Good game Sami! Well deserved on your win and inevitable and deserved induction into the iS Hall of Fame during the next voting process. ^_^

I think Sami said Aaron is throwing the final IC but looks like this is Sami's for the taking. So proud of her but sad for Chris.
