Mike's Mad

[Mike Dutz]

Alright guys, well congrats and all that bullshit. I'm pretty disappointed in this F2 and probably the most mad of all the jurors over this F2. I would have been a lot happier if the F2 consisted of people who didn't screw me over hardcore or if there was at least one person in the finals that didn't backstab me.

I've played a lot of these games. It's not a secret. Everyone knows that. I've met a lot of people over the years and sure, I have a hard time keeping in touch with people. But I can always pick back up where I've left off with someone no matter how much time has elapsed since our last interaction. I've "known" you both for some time now. You've both hosted me. I've invested time in each of your series. You've seen me play. You know the type of player that I am. 

Zach, I've worked with you before.  We worked together up to a point in our original season. We worked together in Sausage All-Stars.  I really wanted to work with you here.  So I'm really hurt that you didn't want to work with me in this game.  And your goodbye message to me was extremely cold.  Like an ice cold dagger to the heart.  You can try and talk about how great your game was all you want, but the fact of the matter is...I see that your game was flawed.  You had a delusional view on things at times.  How could ANYONE think one of their closest allies (or at least someone that was constantly trying to work with them) was the mystery HoH?  IN WHAT WORLD DOES THAT MAKE SENSE!?  I'm so frustrated by that.  Did you actually think that made any sense or that was the case?  Or was that simply your excuse that you felt you could use to evict me?  I really want you to explain yourself.

Nick, your opening statement said it all.  You lied.  You lied a lot.  At least you can admit it.  But it sucks.  You promised me that keeping you wouldn't be a mistake.  Then you screwed me over every chance you could until finally voting me out.  You didn't even give me the time of day after you said you would talk to me the round that I left and ignored me the entire round.  I need to know why and I want to know how Matt fit into your individual game better than I did.  I don't want a video either.  I get it you're a person.  I got that fact the first time you played that card on me when you showed me a picture of you and your dog lol.  I don't need to be reminded of that.  I just need answers.

Who will I vote for?  Shadow Survivor or Sausage Island?  May the best of my host "friends" win my vote.

Again, I'm mad at you both.  So my vote is up in the air.

Hi Mike, of all the Jurors I expected and completely understand your anger

When the mystery HoH made their nominations I thought the only possibilities that could make those nominations were Sofia, you, Candice, and Matt. Matt winning was a longshot from his competition track record and once Heaven was nominated that meant it could not be Sofia. So it was you or Candice. Obviously I know it's Candice now, so when I found that out... I was like shit. I knew I was going to need to apologize to you because I really convinced myself it was you. But since there was NO way of knowing who it was, it was impossible to completely trust those suspects while I was in the game. My other alliance (Nick/Heather/Memphis) and were all convinced it was you as well when we chat. You were saying so much to make it not look like you in public that it backfired. I don't know if you meant to do that or not. You would make posts after the mystery ceremonies when nobody else did about it being interesting, and the thing that really had me questioning was you would constantly bring up doing the endurance. Basically showcasing "I did the HoH. Therefore I could not have been the last one." Another instance was you got upset in a conversation with Heather where you suggested she should target the people who voted to evict her. Heather and I thought... "He must not want her to target the HoH." However this was not solely the reason for me evicting you.

I viewed our relationship differently. I don't think the right word is delusional in regard to my relationship with you because I never considered you one of my closest allies in this game and I was very unaware you saw me one. And it makes me feel worse that is the case. We just never had those deep end game conversations that I would expect from a close ally. So I wouldn't say I was deluded about the situation, I was just reading our relationship wrong from the START of the game. We had our signals mixed. I thought you and I were frenemies playing eachother. Possible ally, possible enemy. In week 2 when you rightfully pressed that button, I was going to target you because of limited options. (A lot to do with the fact we had barely spoken by the time I had to make my nominations) That was an awful, awful house for me. You saw that you were at risk and got out of there. But from that moment I thought there was a line between us because you knew you would be going up by me. I did my damage control by saying I wasn't going to put you up but I thought our relationship took a hit. The week before you came to me about an alliance (Brodown), I had heard from Rachelle that you came to her asking to make a group as well. Then Rachelle got evicted and you ended up asking me. So I figured you were just looking for some short term protection. Because my thought process was if you were trying to get a group with Rachelle, it wasn't me you really cared for or else I would have been someone you asked that week. To me it seemed you just wanted immediate safety. I never imagined that you or Matt would want me in the final four at all. And maybe it's me judging you from our past games (Since Sausage AS ended badly between us), but I figured you'd try and take me out. If I am wrong then I apologize, to both you and Matt, but it's something I definitely worried about.

Obviously you were the one Juror I figured would for sure be voting against me and I understand that. But I really do want to say sorry for how I acted to you thinking you secretly put me up. I figured you were so against Heather, and nominating me alongside her could get her out. Plus the fact you had just asked me for an alliance would disguise me from thinking it was you. I really convinced myself you had that ingenious plan. I'm sorry for being so cold about it, I really did make mistakes when it came to us.

Anyway, thank you for the chance

Nick, your opening statement said it all. You lied. You lied a lot. At least you can admit it. But it sucks. You promised me that keeping you wouldn't be a mistake. Then you screwed me over every chance you could until finally voting me out. You didn't even give me the time of day after you said you would talk to me the round that I left and ignored me the entire round. I need to know why and I want to know how Matt fit into your individual game better than I did. I don't want a video either. I get it you're a person. I got that fact the first time you played that card on me when you showed me a picture of you and your dog lol. I don't need to be reminded of that. I just need answers.

Coming into the game I listed you as a friend and potential ally when I looked over the whole cast. We've always gotten along and gelled in the all important past dicevivor games leading up to this, so I wanted to work with you coming into the game. Unfortunately as things got going, we didn't communicate a whole lot. When we did talk we were super on the same page with our views towards the trio and such, so that did bode well and I wasn't bs'ing you the entire time I was campaigning to you round two

Buuuut then my game began to change starting the night I survived. Sinister Six was formed and I obviously had to do what I could to appear devoted to that alliance. As that group formed I kept thinking back to my conversations with others and with you specifically. At that point I was in a position where I'd either have to betray this new mega alliance or go back on some promises that I made to a couple of people. But when I talked to you during my campaigning I was being 100% genuine about everything I was saying. I didn't just say it all to survive with the intention on breaking it ASAP, I said it because I meant it

You were right in your jury questionnaire about people making a mistake keeping me over Brittany. A whole lot of people who I had convinced to keep me ended up regretting it a few rounds later. It was dirty and my word did end up being shit like you said on your way out, but I feel it was a necessary evil for me to advance far in this game

For what it's worth, I absolutely did not want you evicted that round out of all the possibilities. I would've loved to see the Veto get used and for Sofia or Heaven to go up instead, but Ryan won it so uhhh..that wasn't happening. It wasn't ideal for me once you and Matt were up because I knew the house would be split down the middle with me right in between each side. That was the most stressful eviction for me by far, especially since I knew it was gonna end with me doing you dirty and without getting an opportunity to talk it out with you beforehand

The rumors about you and Sofia secretly being close played a bit of a role in you leaving. I know you weren't 100% with her, but paranoia was getting the better of everyone and people started to see you two as closer than you let on. Even if it wasn't true, it was looking like it could pan out to be true since you two were targeted together which tends to really bond people. It happened with Ryan and I and I thought it was gonna happen with you and Sofia (like you picking her in Veto). Since I was rightly paranoid as fuck about Sofia wanting to come after me soon, this was an issue for me

I actually did have a lot of plans in my own mind involving Matt throughout the second half of the game too, so you being against him didn't help. These ideas didn't end up panning out but I wanted to keep them as an option. You were beginning to become a question mark for me in the game around that time, and a strong question mark at that who was a legitimate threat. I do think we could've eventually gotten back on the same page after our rocky middle that I caused, but unfortunately it just didn't seem to be the best possible option for me at that time, especially between you/Matt

Also uhhh...I think you're mixing me up with another player when it comes to that picture of someone with a dog, I don't even have a dog haha

Thanks Mike! GO SAUSAGE!

[Mike Dutz]

Maybe it wasn't with a dog, I just remembered some sort of picture I think lol.

Anyway, I'm satisfied enough with both of you. Good luck.
