Ami's Jury Speech - S9

[@bc5163]

I love how Ami steps down like a Queen and her servants Leeann and Julie help her down 😂😂😂

[@kingofthorns203]

I mean she did have heels on. In the full episode Eliza needed a "hand" as well. This was the early seasons of survivor, the jury setup is much more easy to navigate now :)

[@Man.from.the.90sgeneration]

Leann was the leader

[@a.jdeets5527]

Both Twila and Ami really help make Vanuatu a Top 10 season for me. Twila needs to return.

[@kimcapri9178]

Eliza makes everything better for me b/c she was smart and sassy, but Julie broke my heart and Jeff's too. They hooked up after the show finished filming.

[@ShortySOM]

Twila's last response to Ami is what swung her vote. I honestly think Twila's answer surprised her

[@yourlovelyves]

Ami in FvF was just like Tomm in HvV. I loved them both, and it hurts to see your favorites get the shorter end of the stick.

[@zt1053]

She was screwed by the tribal swap. She was probably seen as more of a physical threat. Too bad she wasn't on HvV. I doubt Sandra would be a two time winner if Ami was on that season

[@kingofthorns203]

Would love to have her back

[@cambed71]

I love the interaction between Ami and Twila. So raw, honest and real. Glad Ami voted for Twila. Twila was so right to flip on Leann and Ami. It was a brilliant move and they would have brought her to the final 3 but not the final 2.

[@Choi1226]

That interaction between Ami and Twila was cinematic.

[@lexination1]

"You don't have it in ya" Love that.

[@laurie1424]

Ami has the best eyes in Survivor

[@giraffedreams]

The jury doesn't ask for honesty, they ask for flattering answers.

[@timolee]

Ami!!! She was so awesome in challenges and in the social game. Too much of a threat, I guess...

[@zt1053]

Survivor is all about luck on who you play with. I doubt Queen Sandra would be a two time winner had she played on this one

[@robdurdain5912]

Well another problem is she was too honestly for her own good, and by that I mean going so far to reveal to people like Twila, Scout, Eliza their true positions in the alliance (the bottom half).

[@MrQuaker122]

Love Twila's answer and I love the fact that Ami voted for her!

[@robdurdain5912]

She voted for her since she gave real answers, while Chris's whole FTC was a pile of BS, it was like a politican speaking. Most of the jury were fooled, but Ami and Scout saw through it.

[@bigbuffguy9589]

@@robdurdain5912 True. This is also why Coby didn't vote for Tom in Palau.

[@bluesky5384]

@@robdurdain5912 Yup. I loved when Scout called him out on it.

[@bigbuffguy9589]

Twila won Ami's vote by being honest at FTC. This is what Dawn should have done with Brenda. Just admit that yes, she would have quit if Brenda didn't find Dawn's teeth. Instead, Dawn insisted on lying to Brenda's face again, and I think Brenda kind of snapped as a result. Brenda may not have voted for Dawn either way, but it would have at least saved Dawn further embarrassment.

[@kimcapri9178]

This show should be a serious psychological study for future psychology students. Blown away revisiting it 23 years later.

[@Debachi]

She lied a few times, he lied up everyone's ass; but the fact that Ami still voted for her shows some integrity. This goes to show that you should be careful who you out in the bottom tier because they may get the chance to cut your throut! Twila did it to Ami, Lil, the scoutmaster did it to Andrew and Cochran did it to Ozzy, Whitney, Jim and Kieth! These people should return, because they are endearing and will do what this game demands even if they lack as players!

[@robdurdain5912]

The key is to make people who are the bottom not feel or know they are on the bottom.

[@ShortySOM]

@seanjoseph91 it was but Ami voted for Twila because she answered honestly. She saw through Chris' BS and she said that during the vote. It was unfortunate that Twila got snake bitten for being honest but people were still smarting and angry. If you watch the reunion, alot of the members of the jury would've changed their vote if they could've gone back.

[@zt1053]

I've heard they still would have voted for Chris and Scout would have changed her vote

[@W81Researcher]

​@@zt1053Sarge would go back and vote for Twila.

[@seanjoseph91]

Odd how Ami was the one person who DID vote for Twila :/

[@cambed71]

And Scout

[@musicaleclecto]

@Somebody WhoisSomewhere also, Scout was considering giving Chris her vote because of the fight after tribal council between Eliza and Twila on Night 36.

[@ruebenjohnston9425]

Ami

[@homieblossom2550]

I personally think twila should have won

[@psychokinrazalon]

@giraffedreams Like I always say, "Would you rather be hurt by the truth, or be blinded by lies?"

[@BrianHeidik]

@ShortySOM Not true. The guy who made the funny 115 pulled the jurors after the Vanuatu DVD went out. Chris won 6-1 in the re-vote. Scout changed her vote to Chris.

[@W81Researcher]

Where do you get this info?

[@ulongkoror]

@PumaOPumaOPumaO you mean like russhole?

[@iamweapon]

but then again, bullshitting can be synonymous with good player in a game like survivor. he told all of them exactly what they wanted to hear, and they rewarded him for it. dont blame him for their stupidity...

[@zimdelinvasor]

@ulongkoror key difference between chris and hantz is that chris brought someone even worse to the end and also gave great FTC performance -- hantz brought more likable people to the end and gave horrible FTC performances

[@zt1053]

His biggest mistake the first time was not taking Shambo to the finals. Her tribe hated her more than him. Not sure what he could have done the second time. He was also screwed by the stupid final 3 format.

[@briskdesert684]

@@zt1053 he could have brought mick and shambo in samoa, way higher chances

[@PumaOPumaOPumaO]

@ulongkoror Have you watched the season? He did lie for no reason A LOT. Like, lies that had no affect on the game

[@robdurdain5912]

Who is Ami referring to Chris lying two "took the time to lie to 2 people". He never lied to Ami, she approached him about an alliance at Final 6 and he said he might consider it but mostly turned her down, so it isn't like he liked to her really. He didn't tell LeAnne she was going at 7, well that would have been stupid to do, why would he ever do that.

[@bigbuffguy9589]

Ami is talking about Julie and Eliza. Chris blindsided both of them without needing to (he had the numbers with Scout and Twila), basically as revenge for what happened to Sarge et. al.

[@robdurdain5912]

@@bigbuffguy9589 Oh ok thanks. I was wondering why Julie was so upset since the other 4 had an alliance by then, but Chris must have told her some lie about her staying.

[@Thyyyyyyyyme]

@@robdurdain5912 A major part of it was that Julie really had bonded with Chris, and thought that their friendship would at least mean he'd be honest with her when the vote was turning towards her. But Chris blew smoke up her ass, lied about wanting to keep her in the game, only to backstab her for literally no reason. Which he also did to Eliza, which again, he did for absolutely no reason. He raised both of their hopes and crushed them for no strategic advantage.

[@demonloaf666]

​@@ThyyyyyyyymeYou have to understand at this point that Chris needed only 1 of the women's vote to win and he was planning to bring twila to the end anyways who eliza had basically no chance of voting for. He also wanted to mess with them for taking out all the men and make them look dumb in the process.

[@thesir27]

you still gotta be playin' up there

[@NYChica23]

@giraffedreams For real...that explains why Jenna and Chris both won after giving two of the fakest jury performances I have ever seen ♥♥

[@ulongkoror]

"you lied to two people for no reason" if he didnt lie and vote them out,how is he suppose to win?everyones happens for a reason and that reason is to win a million bucks

[@russianskatingfan]

Julie always thought she was going at the F5 because she knew of the Eliza-Twila-Scout-Chris alliance. Chris however took her aside and said he was going to save her, when she had never expected him to. Given their close bond she thought he would be honest with her and not tell her something like that if it werent true. He promised her the world when she had given up hope, got her hope up again, then voted her out anyway. As for Eliza he would have been able to beat her no problem at the end so she was also unneccessary.

[@jonathanlee2099]

Chris, Twila, and Scout had a majority of the votes at that point, 3 > 2. Why promise Julie and Eliza anything? That's why it's needless

[@bigbuffguy9589]

@@jonathanlee2099 Exactly. Chris blindsided Eliza and Julie in really painful ways that were unnecessary, and he did it mostly out of revenge for the other guys.

[@oldfriendofmine]

@cglenn3 Great post. Agree 100%.

thes lesbians voted for twila btw

[@ke1ta2gi3ku4do5]

um lmao nah, she’s genderfluid

[@zt1053]

Ami would have mopped the floor with Queen Sandra. Too bad Ami wasn't on heroes vs villains. Sandra was just lucky she had Rupert's coattails to on Pearl Islands and then was going up against an outcast in the finals.

[@zt1053]

Esti Luke she had the easiest final two of all time by going up against someone who had already been voted out before and didn't play that card once. Any halfway decent strategist would have mentioned that. Even johnny Fairplay would have won in that situation.

[@a.jdeets5527]

zt1053 Lol Fairplay was never going to win against anyone, the jury hated his guts. Also both Sandra and Ami are queens, don’t disrespect either of them.

[@zt1053]

He would have played the outcast card plus the jury wouldn't have known about the grandmother lie at that point.

[@slimbish605]

Oh bullshit.
