Pre-Jury Lounge

[Coach]

Just for clarification, since the "pre-game" thing has come up again; Sydney chewed me out for throwing around that she was in a pre-game alliance.

I, under no circumstances, ever assumed there was a pre-game alliance going into this. I don't think I ever used those words to describe it. I thought there was a very solid early game alliance forged before the initial round kicked off and I don't discredit anybody for doing that because it made sense for those players strategically. But I didn't go around suggesting it was pre-game.

I think that as the game went on, more nodes were added to it. Not saying that conclusively because how could I know conclusively what was happening in the game? It was merely an assumption based on the way the game was fanning out so far and the puppet masters round really didn't come across as anything but selling the idea.

You played a decent game Kim, as always and I have tons of respect for it. I don't think there's a single player in this whole thing I haven't respected the game of (Rory and Phillip don't count as players).

I only ever called it pregame because that's what everyone else called it.

[Ted Rogers]

Of course there was a pre-game, I was in 2 of em, its all-stars after all! If Sydney doesn't want to call it that, its just a matter of semantics. "Pre-game" just has a negative stigma around it but it is a reality in All-Star games most especially.

[Coach]

But Sydney wasn't in a pre-game alliance was she? That's the whole point.

Of course she was, and still is! Had Chelsea and Julie showed up too...lol. She just doesnt want to call it a "pre-game" but in season 3 called it "pre-existing relationships". It doesnt really matter what you call it, its the game!

Almost everyone in the cast had some sort of pre-game going in, whether it was only with 1 or 2 people, still counts. Just some of us had quite a few.

The pentagon. Lol

New member incoming!

[Kim Powers]

The point is, the pre-game that people pegged as me, Danielle, Miki, Sydney, Vee, Alexis never existed at all. That was never even an alliance with all those people at once because Alexis wasn't included, let alone a pre-game.

[Hellyse Umemoto]

Alright, but if Alexis wasn't included, that means the other five people were.

Just because the people who dislike your alliance are wrong about one person doesn't negate the fact that their accusations were at worst 83.2% accurate.

That's like saying that someone who accuses you of arson, murder, rape, kidnapping, buglary, and jaywalking is completely wrong because you crossed the street at a crosswalk.

Moreover, so what if it wasn't a pre-game? The alliance still existed. All of you were still planning on working together until the end. That group of people is still guilty of doing pretty much everything that they've been accused of doing, and getting rid of the people that everybody knew they were going after. Just because that alliance was formed on day one instead of day zero or day minus-one, that doesn't mean that that grouping is any less loathsome.

[Kim Powers]

Wasn't formed on day 1. I mostly was pissed because people thought it was a pre-game, which was totally inaccurate.

[Carter Williams]

I hate being able to talk to you all in this

[Mari Sartain]

Hey all my beautiful friends, what a delight this is

[Host Lex]

Welp. You guys are on your lonesome from here on out!

Any predictions for who goes first in the merge?

[Boston Rob]

Unfortunately I think Ted is right back out.

[Mari Sartain]
