I agree 1000% with everything you just said. I mean, I'm glad this happened to Tasha - as I said before, there WAS minimal evidence in Cagayan (mostly in BTS material and interviews) that she actually wasn't a very nice person to interact with, and the edit simply made her seem likable. Now her b**chy nature was finally out in the open for everyone to see.

But SPENCER? Yeah, I'm so peeved. Like, I seriously think he played the best game out of this particular F3 - I've given my reasons as to why - but I STILL could maybe understand him losing anyway. But MY GOD he should've gotten SOME votes. Like...at least 2-3, maybe 4? This should NOT have been the blowout that it was. Especially since, yeah, this jury was obviously NOT voting entirely based on strategy. Again, Spencer COULD have lost to Jeremy on the merits of their gameplay (as much as I disagree on who was better), but according to some BTS material and "Jury Speaks" videos, some jurors allegedly WERE still considering voting for Spencer - namely the girls of the minority alliance, and even SAVAGE of all people - since they described him as the most "maneuverable" player in the season, and they were admittedly impressed with him getting to the end despite being a huge target from the get-go. Supposedly, the moment that the edit portrayed as "killing" his game - when he "threatened" Jeremy at the F4 - was NOT as toxic to his chances as the edit would have us believe, and they were still considering him. Were there enough pro-Spencer jurors to give him the win? No. But definitely enough to make him a solid runner-up, and MAYBE give us a close vote of 6-4, at the best case scenario. But all of those jurors unanimously agreed that it was OVER when Jeremy gave his sob speech. No one would DARE to vote for anyone other than Jeremy at that point, and even if Spencer tried to bring them down off of Cloud 9 and remind them that they're supposed to vote based on game, not personal life, it wouldn't have worked, and probably would've just made Spencer look worse.

But yes, the worst of all is that this jury clearly voted based on pity points, and that pisses me off to no end. That's probably THE main thing that ruins this outcome for me. Because again, when people see that Jeremy Collins won a 10-0-0 blowout, they'll think that he makes JT look like a Natalie White-type winner. But I guess this could be a perfect Survivor experiment to prove that sometimes, the margin of victory doesn't always correlate to the level of intensity in the winner's gameplay. Because by all accounts, Jeremy's overall game was mediocre at best, and literally the ONLY reason he won by a perfect blowout was because of pity points. Screw Jeremy and his waterworks.

Honestly, I think even Kelley would've lost. I think she was ONLY guaranteed Abi and Ciera at best. Assuming Jeremy STILL pulls the pity card, I can see Kass going for him; and I thought Keith and Jeremy rebuilt their friendship this season? Eh, IDK. I guess I would ultimately just err on the side of Jeremy still winning because of the power of a pitiful life story. Gag me.
