Jury Duty

[Jeff Probst]

Everyone,

This is very important, I need you all to make a thread in your confessional forums and pre-write your final 3 speech/question so that when I call on you, you just have to copy and paste, and in the off chance that something happens and you lose internet I can post your speech/questions for you.

I also need you to leave a pre-vote for the winner. Do this ASAP it's very important.

Kim J, I want you to reveal to the final 3 the Caquetios twist and all that it entailed. You will go first as you drop that one final blindside on the final 3 :)

[Sean]

do we only get 1 question, or 1 for each?

[Sarah]

Awww! Why does SHE get to do it?

[Jeff Probst]

However many questions you want, or a statement or whatever, it's your time.

I just finished my speech! I'm glad I got that off my chest. I even got to incorporate my sex life!

I'm assuming it's a joke in reference to Natalie Bolton's jury Q in Micronesia. If not, tribal council could be /very/ interesting......

For those of you asking in private, may as well post this here. The general layout of the night(s) will be akin to RL Survivor. First each of the three will post an opening statement. You should try to be here live since this might cover things you ask for in your jury question and you may want to edit it before you drop it on them.

Then one by one we'll bring each juror in to ask their question(s), post their statement. Ideally, we'll follow the boot order with Mama Kim up first and Gina last but this can & will be changed depending on availability and who has their question ready etc.. If you already know you need to be early or late in the order (or won't be here at all) please state as much now, tyia.

Once each Juror is satisfied (or at least, had their piece addressed), the Finalists will post a closing statement, the Jurors will each confirm their votes and FTC will be officially done.

***

We would prefer to get the FTC itself all wrapped in one night - i.e. Sunday, but if we have to it can and will rollover to be finished off on Monday. (the reveal etc will be on Monday irregardless of whether FTC is split in two or not)

Day 32 (sunday) - Final Tribal Council (8-10c/9-11e)

Day 33 (monday) - Final Tribal Council (Part 2 if necessary) 8-8:30c/9-9:30e /
Reunion 8:30-9c/9:30-10e / Winner Reveal 9:00c/10:00e / Identity Reveal 9:15c/10:15e / Wrap Chat/Party 9:45c/10:45e.

But in order to do this, we'll need to move through the nine of you pretty quickly. Please bear this in mind as you make up your questions - if answering your chunk of the night will take each Finalist 30 minutes you are waaaay hogging the airtime. Ideally, you post once in the thread with your question, they will approach it, and you will post again to state your satisfaction or not. If needs must you can have a follow-up but two posts per Juror should be the norm - one question, one statement of satisfaction (or not). Aim for about 15 minutes or less of the time - remember there are nine of you to get through.

And plsplspls, this is not going to be a free-for-all, with you each jumping in on each other's questions and Finalist answers. You take it in turns to do your business in the FTC thread and you then let the next Juror step up. Keep your discussion of their answers to other Jury questions here in Ponderosa where it belongs.

***

Sorry if this seems more strict than you expected, the main focus of it is to make sure we get through all nine of you in a timely manner, that each of you is satisfied the F3 have given as good an answer as they could, and that each of the F3 feels they have had the chance to address each of your concerns & queries. Hear them out, and give each of the three a fair listen. Or not, Jurors reserve the right to be bitter and/or biased :P Your vote is your own - so base it on whatever criteria you see fit.


The last thing we ask (and this may be a little late) is that you try not to 100% confirm your vote to the rest of the Jury. It's pretty obvious some of you are very passionate about voting one direction or another. But please, lets try keep a little suspense here. Argue their cases, point out loopholes and flawed logic - but the last thing we want is the nine of you all knowing exactly who voted for who before the winner is even revealed. So if it's possible at this stage to be coy :P , please attempt to be.


Good luck with your decision!

Will Jeff announce his next season at the end of the announced winner?

Oh also! Does anyone have AIM?? We have had AIM wrap parties before.

Please don't yell out your AIM address right now - that comes after cast reveal. But if there are enough people that say "aye, I use AIM" then the people who don't use it might think about setting it up on their computer in advance. Or we can just chat in the threads the old fashioned way.

I know all the hosts have AIM for starters, as do a chunk of the lurkers.

[Kim P]

Whats AIM?

[Brenda Lowe]

It's an Instant Messenger app. Similar to Skype except more popular with teenagers (in the 90s )

http://www.aim.com/download

If there's a chunk of people use Skype that's an alternative.

Orrrr we can just party it up here on the boards.

[Kim J]

I think its like an instant messenger for aol, right?

I'm more then willing to make one if I have to.

[Gina]

I actually downloaded aim because the application asked for our AIM names. So I've got it
