Sheila and Nathan - I first want to congratulate you both on making it to the end. Yes, it was kind of an inevitability and everyone predicted it, but that makes you no less deserving. You both played strong games. Everyone wanted both of you out because they were afraid of this final two so great job in making it here!
I have some comments and questions for you both....and if I sound a bit bitchy, wellllll good! I also reserve the right to ask new or followup questions once I see your answers to my questions, as well as to the other jurors' questions.
Nathan
I played a very emotional game, so it's only fitting that my questions also be emotional. I would say to you especially, but who knows what I will be rambling on about by the time I get to Sheila's questions?
You, of all people, know how much I let my emotional side rule what I did in this game - especially at the end. You mentioned that you were very creative in asking me to try to get Will to submit early in the Final POV. I did it, but at that point I still was not decided on which of you I was going to take. I felt pretty good about my chances of finding Natalie's pic and I wanted to have that decision instead of leaving it in his or your hands.
First, how confident were you in me keeping you at F4? And if you were 100% confident, did you think you had me wrapped around your finger for most of the game? You stated that not everything you did was personal. So, please tell me if you purposely used my weaknesses against me, including those 30 minutes after I told you I was voting you out, when I changed my mind at the last minute. I know everyone on the jury thinks you played me to get me to keep you, threw part II of the HOH so you wouldn't have to vote me or Sheila out, and felt very confident in being the one chosen at the end. I would like to know if this is true or not.
I ended up keeping you over Will because I felt that if I couldn't win I wanted one of you to win. I first wanted to get to the end with Howie (that went well lol) and after he left I wanted it to be Parker, and after Parker left I actually felt a little bit of relief that I wasn't in the middle anymore between You/Sheila and Parker/Jun. So from that point on I wanted the F3 to be you, me and Sheila...even though I felt that either of you would have taken the other one. You told me that you never made a F2 with Sheila and you were 50/50 on who you would keep if/when it came to that point. So, my next question to you is, was that bullshit or the truth? Would you have kept me or Sheila had you won the final HOH and why?
Also, if you were a third party looking on and I asked you for advice in whether to be loyal and keep you at F4 or to vote you out and keep Will, what what advice would you give me? Please be detailed and explain your answer.
And finallyyyy please tell me what you really think of my ass? This WILL make a difference in how I vote. Thank you!

I'm not going to go for the obvious questions here. I'll let someone else do that. You know I have to get personal with you, too, since this game was nothing to me if not personal.
First of all, you stated in your opening that you wanted to go to the end with me. WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER SAY THAT TO ME? LOL I mean, yes, I had Howie but I would never have backstabbed you if I thought you wanted that. I was so paranoid of your relationship with Nathan, Jun and Daniele that I thought I needed to make a move. I know you're not the most talkative person sometimes but the one thing I wanted from you the most was communication. Yeah, I am in no position to tell you that you made a bad move since you're sitting at the end and I'm not, but I am just curious as to why you didn't communicate these things to me.
Also, I approached to you the night before part III of the final HOH and asked you who you would keep if you won. You were very noncomittal but never told me directly that you wouldn't keep me. I did feel that you wouldn't but did it ever cross your mind to make a deal in case you lost? I know you expected me to take Nathan, but honestly I wasn't sure at that point. After talking to you, though, I decided that if I won I would take him because I hated that you wouldn't even talk to me about it really at all. I'm just wondering if you had some sort of strategy in mind at that point or if you would were just confident that you would win?
