One thing I must say Coolio, whatever happens in the finale, is that I really need to applaud you for providing us with not only a fantastic season, but one of the strongest final 3s on the wiki in a long time.

Most final 3s (fanon or canon) seem to have either that one weak player that managed to sneak through, or just an overall obvious front-runner for the money (sometimes both). But to be completely honest, not only would Tanner, Kelsey, and Riley all be satisfying winners in my opinion, but there is something about all three that indicates they could easily win/go home on day 38, while also something about all three that indicates they could easily be the runner-up.

​Kelsey:

Why she could win/go home on day 38 - She has been targeted since the very beginning of the game, and has a great underdog story she could use to her advantage. Clearly she's had to fight the hardest of the final three to get where she is, and it's possible the jury could really respect it.

Why she could be the runner-up - As Tozza said below, Kelsey has been shown to be a bit of a brat at times, and has picked petty fights with some of the jurors. *Cough*Sheri*Cough. At the beginning, Kelsey was also seen as a bit of a princess, so despite how hard she fought to get to the end, it's possible that it just simply wasn't enough to get jurors to look past her attitude.

​Riley:

Why she could win/go home on day 38 - I don't think I need to say it, but Riley's essentially dominated the game from behind the scenes, especially after the merge. This strong strategic game-play, as well as her strong social connections could definitely make her an obvious contender in the eyes of the jury.

Why she could be the runner-up - ​Riley's late-game betrayals could cost her some key votes from the jury. I mean, maybe I'm reading into the edit too much, but this kind of disregard for jury management usually indicates that the player will end up as the runner-up due to the number of people they've angered towards the end.

Tanner:

Why he could win/go home on day 38 - Tanner has been pegged as a threat to win the game for a long time, and even though he's been targeted multiple times, nobody that's taken a shot at him has been able to actually take him out. This indicates that the jury could respect the way that he's managed to navigate himself to the end despite this target on his back and being saddled with the label of "threat."

Why he could be the runner-up - ​Despite Tanner's strong game-play, he hasn't always had the best "bedside manner" around camp, to say the least as he has gotten in conflicts with multiple jurors. As such, this perceived attitude problem could cost him the win, especially if he's against someone that has bonded better socially with the jury. Tanner has also made his fair share of emotional decisions, which might not sit well with some jurors.

So yeah, as a result of all this, I'm actually kind of sad that this final three is not all making it to day 39 and fighting for the money. I just love how all three of these castaways, to me, appear to be so neck and neck, because as I said, this is definitely one of the best final 3s on the wiki! I think it's a testament to how strong of a writer you are and how well you've developed all of these characters that you've been able to pull this off so well!
