the greatest speech of all time....

"Ladies, just a few things before we close tonight.

Umm, Nat, I just want to say I loved watching your gameplay. It was dynamic, at times a little spastic. I thought you made some really great choices so I just wanted to say congrats, that’s awesome.

Jaclyn, you’re another person that I really enjoyed getting to know out here. And it’s so funny because I never really felt like we could get our plan to converge together, but that didn’t stop me from trying with you and still having a good time trying to play the game. It was nice to get to play with you and I do look forward to, you know, hanging out with you afterwards.

Missy chuckles snake rattle, you cast yourself as the motherly figure, however, fans of classic literary fiction will see through very quickly who your true character was, which is the wicked step-mother, really, of the tribe. It’s the eccentric woman who comes in and makes demands of everyone for the things of which she feels so entitled. You know, she spoils her children by perhaps giving them more rice at dinner, or the best places to sleep at night in the shelter. Um, she takes things that she’s— you’re not entitled to or didn’t earn herself, which was always evidenced by the fact that you got more gimme’s in this game than anyone and performed the worst out of anyone at challenges. Lastly, you made the quintessential wicked step-mother move by abusing the help. Which in this case was the minority alliances throughout the game. You always made sure they felt inferior, you always kept them in their place, and you always made it eminently clear that they weren’t coming to the ball that is the tribal council here this evening with you. So, that to me feels like your fatal flaw in your whole plan because unlike life, in the game of Survivor, the outcasts are the one who get the final say. So in a sweeping moment of poetic justice, the people to which you were so rude and terrible to before relegating them to the jury with the help of your alliance, are going to decide your fate this evening. This is why I love fairy tales because they always have a happy ending and the wicked step-mother never wins.

Nat, Jaclyn, good luck."
