Jolanda's Questions/Statement

[Host Drew]

Jolanda, please address the final 2 here , once opening statements have been posted.

[Jolanda Jones]

Hello and Congratulations you two.
Katie you cant escape the raft of Jo just to let you know.

Before my question i have something to say. Katie we all know you don't deserve that spot in the final 2, Your name came up at every tribal council even your apparent allie Gregg brought your name up and then you go and lie right to my face before I was booted saying you were voting for Ian or Ashlee and I never lied to you sure I was voting for you but I never said I was going along with you so you did lie in this and I know its very hard not to lie because I did it to. I know my statement to you seems harsh because I am a harsh tough person and I don't take crap very well, I still don't no wheather I should applaud you for getting to the final 2 or not.

Ibrehem, This is the first we have ever spoken, i wish we had met, I believe you played a great game, you moved the players like on a chess board and you took the game is it came and you got that spot in the final 2.

Now to everyones surprise I havnt made my mind because I don't think really either one of you really deserve it which makes it hard to vote, to get my vote you need to answer this question the best.

Which two survivors deserve to be sitting in that final 2 instead of you 2, you must both pick two survivors and give me a reason why.

Hey Jolanda, I knew once you became a juror I was going to get it from you. I just want to say first that I don't have a problem with you, but its a little harsh saying I don't deserve to be here. I have fought so hard to get here from where I started, that its so unfair to say that. I basically had no one in our original tribe, with the exception of Gregg at the very end, no one would even talk to me. Then once we were in the merge, I fought to get out of the minority. I haven't stopped fighting this entire game, and to say I don't deserve it kind of hurts, I'm not going to lie. If you aren't going to vote based on game play, then there isn't much more I can say.

I also just want to clear one thing up, which has been bothering me ever since you left- I didn't bid on the idols. When I say I haven't lied in this game, I really haven't. My plea to our tribe was legitimate. I also never told you I was voting Ashlee or Ian I told you I wasn't sure yet, which was the truth. Gregg hadn't approached me yet about saving me with the idol at that point.

The two people I would say deserve to be in the final 2 would be Tom and Angie. I don't think anyone wanted to win this game more than Tom, and he really put everything he had into it, which I respect a lot. He was a tough competitor and thats why I voted him out so many times. Tom might have gone the week Angie went had he not won immunity, and thats why Angie deserves it too. She might be the smartest person in this game, and really knew what she was doing. While that might be the very reason people, myself included, voted her out, its also what made her one heck of a player.

I hope that answers your question. If your bitter because of what happened with the idol, I understand, but know that my back was against the wall and anyone would have done the same. I hope there are no hard feelings. Thank you.

Which two survivors deserve to be sitting in that final 2 instead of you 2, you must both pick two survivors and give me a reason why.

Hey Jo. I'm sorry we didn't have a chance to meet earlier, but I'm glad you made it to the jury after all.

The two players who I would choose to be sitting here, other than me and Katie, are Tom & Gregg.

Tom took a very active role in this game and he was playing to win. He was definitely a great player, and that's really the only reason he's on the jury right now.

Gregg showed so much passion for this game, and I totally admired that. He never gave up, was always friendly, and went down fighting. I really think he's a great guy and a great player.

[Jolanda Jones]

Thank you both for the answers which were both great makes my decision even hard.
Once again congratulations.

And no hard feelings.
