We're so close to being done! FINALLY!I know most of you have probably checked out by now but we're almost there. Just a few more little things to do. No more twists! Only the finale!! Please welcome back the Jury Members: Acid Eyes Albie bigfan101 Fancy @jb23241 popstop josh Zeebz MikeyJury, it's all on you to decide who most deserves to win this game! What we need you to do now is post your questions for our two finalists: .indulgecountry and Codex. Over the next day, you are free to post one question each for .indulgecountry and one question each for Codex that will help you to decide, collectively and individually, who you will vote for to win Big Brother Pulse 3. Some of you have already posted questions in your Diary Rooms to me. Feel free to repost them in here, or ask something new if you want. As the questions get posted, .indulgecountry and Codex will answer them as they are able to to the best of their ability. Once all Jury Members have asked their questions of the final 2, .indulgecountry and Codex will have the option of making one final statement and then the voting will open. Ideally, all of this will happen in time for the grand reveal on Wednesday at about 6pm EST. And of course, pre-Jury members Spidey, Musicguy, @jessielou, and Ed The Pacifist! are welcome to join us on finale night. Once the winner is revealed, we will have a tell-all about the game where all secrets will be revealed!

I'm back houseguests!!!!!!!!!!!
Indulge and Codex – congrats on getting this far! I’ll be the first to admit, this is not a final 2 I saw coming. But here we are. I have a question for each of you. I have different questions only because I was able to spend a lot of time with Codex in the jury house so I have a better handle on where his head is at.
.indulgecountry –
I always considered you an honorary member of my alliance with Bigfan and AA. And looking back on that, I’m not sure why you weren’t just in on it with us to start with. That could be a reason why the three of us are in jury and you are where you are but that is a story for later. So, with that said my question for you is this: what alliance or people you worked with do you feel was most helpful in getting you where you are and why?
Codex –
Maybe this is just me being a bitter juror but I am just not sure how I feel about you making it to final 2 after spending nearly half the game outside of the house. Having said that, everyone deserves a fair chance and what you’ve done since returning to the game also cannot be denied. So my question for you is: knowing what you know now about who was aligned with whom, if you had to align yourself differently than what you chose to do, what would you do?
Looking forward to hearing from both of you. I wish you both the best of luck!

So, with that said my question for you is this: what alliance or people you worked with do you feel was most helpful in getting you where you are and why?" I would say the alliance that got me the farthest was working with Zebra and bigfan101 because both of them had strong connections with other people so I got to kind of co-exist with different alliances without necessarily being a direct part of them, so it was fortunate for me to not have to come down to picking sides hardly ever because I didn't have a lot of very close allies, but I was able to work with a decent number of people through being associated with that original 3-some alliance I made at the beginning of the game to progress my game along without standing out as a threat to too many people. So I got to be there for people when they needed an extra person to collaborate on something with, and I also had the opportunity to reach out to others when I needed the same, but it never got too complicated since I solidified very few concrete plans to work with people directly to the end of the game. And near the end of the game, the relationship between me and Acetic Acid that got struck up was a very big asset to us making the Top 3 together, so I have to give that two-person alliance credit for carrying the weight after the bigfan-zebra-me alliance fell apart. :) That Jackie gif thoooo lol

Hey boys! I'm back with presents from the jury house. And now, for some questions. .indulgecountryCongrats on making it to the finale! I have one last question for you, and there is a lot riding on it. I'd appreciate a fully honest answer and explanation. <3 You pulled quite a "Zebra" during Part 3 of the HoH comp, and it did not go unnoticed. What was your motive for throwing that competition?CodexOh hey boo. I see you sitting in my chair right now. But I ain't mad. Aside from cop-out answers like evicting me or winning the buyback comp, what was your biggest move in the game? Inquiring minds want to know.I look forward to some thoughtful tea spilling from the both of you. Hurry up so I can get back to more important things like

What was your motive for throwing that competition?" - Acid EyesLol, oh @ this being more obvious than I thought it would be... Basically, I knew that I would be slower than Codex if I looked up everything (he already beat me in time on a similar comp like that) and I spent some time doing that for a couple of them and just realized it wasn't going to be worth it, and I see now that I was right (he said he took like 27 minutes or something I think; I feel as though I would've been lucky to have found everything in an hour, lol). So, I just made my best guess for everything since it was a 50-50 shot, so I thought if I had a chance, that was the only way. So I guess I kind of pulled a James by answering everything quickly without thinking about it too hard. That was my strategy.

hey guys! congrats on making it to the final two! Both of you played a great game in your own ways and deserved your spots on F2 :) Seriously, i don't quite know what i want to ask, lmao. the game was so sloooowwwww zzz and i have lost much of my interest. anyway moving on. Indulge, we practically didn't talk at all so i don't know much about your gameplay at all. What i know though, you played one hell of a clean game and i salute that. That isn't something easy to do. As always, you flew under the radar, but you did great to stay around until the final this time. Your social skill is undeniable. You seem to have improved your comp skills too. Here's the question for ya : Can you elaborate more about what you did after your F2 and your connection to Farfetched, Bigfan, was evicted to ensure your safety?
Codex, yas as a fellow returnee i'm so happy that you made it here! I know how hard it is to realign with the house when you come back, but you nailed it perfectly and ensured your safety. Unlike others, i don't think the fact that you stayed out the game for nearly half of it shouldn't be considered as a negative. What i respect most of you is how you adapted with the house quickly when you came back and how you balanced your comp play and social skill simultaneously. I know you have given each games your 100%, and your hardwork was reflected in how many times you won comps (or reached second). Socially, you did great too, especially when you were willing to work with AA despite the harsh goodbye message he had previously sent. You also didn't get much blood in your hands. Anyway, your question : Why do you feel that you deserve the win more than Indulge? I'm expecting a long, multi-paragraph answer

Here's the question for ya : Can you elaborate more about what you did after your F2 and your connection to Farfetched, Bigfan, was evicted to ensure your safety?" - MikeyAfter bigfan was eliminated, I basically had to work really hard to save myself because I knew I was a pretty big target for popstop/josh. I convinced the rest of the final 6 that I was worth keeping over Liucci and then the following week AA, Fancy, Zebra, and I teamed up to get rid of the power couple, which worked pretty well minus the little blip where we lost Fancy. :'( It was difficult navigating my way through the last few weeks because I only had Zebra left and he grew kind of distant from me beginning when he evicted Fancy, I believe, lol, so I kind of formed a stronger bond with AA at that point that worked out because he was definitely one of the biggest competition threats in the game, and he had apparently rubbed some people the wrong way (though never myself), so I think that relationship worked out well for us both.

i wish i could make my question post better but i kind of used all my vegemite gifs.
codex i haven't read anything since you evicted acetic and i don't plan on it so feel free to repeat yourself: what moves made up for missing out on half the game? and don't answer escaping eviction when we were on the block because i'm too damn bitter about all the shadiness that week to accept it as a viable answer.
indulge i have no idea what's been happening since i left or really even before i left because my investment in the game left a long time ago. but i've been stanning for your game real hard in the jury house. why is that?

Me too; but I will keep my questions simple and to the point, since my vote is obvious ;)
Indulge - Congrats for making it this far! Sooo, what is your favorite Sara music video? This is critical for my voting criteria ;)
Codex - You did great. Congrats on making a return and then going to the final! Why should someone vote for you after you missed a good portion of the game?

Sooo, what is your favorite Sara music video? This is critical for my voting criteria ;) " - bigfan101Oh gosh, this is probably the hardest question I'm going to have to answer from the jury! Why do you do this to me bigfan? :'( Haha ummm... let's see my favorite videos are probably between "Born to Fly" (iconic Wizard of Oz theme!!) and "A Real Fine Place to Start" (loooove the desert imagey! & she looks amazing!). I really genuinely love all of her videos though and my only complaint is that I wish she had more of them!

OK, I wanted to say i'm glad that the two of you made the final-2 as you both never once backstabbed me (at least that I'm aware of). Codex, I'm especially elated to see you sitting there, and as everyone now knows, we were final two allies and if I regret one thing in this game it was not trying hard enough to save you the week you were evicted. Indulge, you played a very respectable game and I enjoyed the alliances I was in with you. But with that said, only one of you can get my vote. I'm blanking on questions right now, the ones I was going to ask have already been asked, so I'll return if I have any. Good luck to both of you!

especially when you were willing to work with AA despite the harsh goodbye message he had previously sent. I'd like to address this since it keeps coming up. I sincerely apologize if my goodbye message to Codex came off as rude. That was so far from what I had intended. When I said, "Sorry to see you go like this. I wanted to be the one to send you packing!" I meant it more as of a compliment. Codex was that big of a target that it was a race to see who could evict him first. Obv he had the last laugh since he outlived everyone who was out to get him so

How about the most screwed over alliance? The Hot 110 alliance getting leaked during Fancy's HoH (for a final-4 alliance) and Popstop & josh for a final-2 alliance.

It was super shady of the mods to out an alliance that early tbh
Though I think I was the last to find out who the other members were (beyond Musicguy and Mikey) :kii:

First of all, I'd like to say thank you to Max and Surf for modding this game. As much piss and moaning as I and everyone else did, I'm sure we all realize how hard it is to come up with dozens of competitions and keep the game moving while managing annoying personalities like JessieLou and ed1996. Damn, they were so bitchy. :kii: I am actually really on the fence with both of you. I want to say that I respect both of your games. I think you both played a mostly honest/loyal game as opposed to the rampant bullshit artistry that was so prevalent in this game. To present my questions, I thought I'd select a couple quotes from you two that annoyed me.
Madonna Codex:omg I finally survive an eviction this is what should have happened week 4 if soomeoonnneee wasn't a dumb dumb Way to insult a jury voter there, Codex. Based on this, my question is: How did you consider the jury as you played this game?
Dolly Indulge:
Maybe now indulge and fancy will actually talk to me. You say this like I wasn't the last one to respond to our PM. But okay, whatever. I realize this was said in wake of my fake coup d'etat (and really, everyone's muted reaction in-thread to that was incredibly lame - at least publicly call shenanigans for ratings, people). However, this really seemed to capture your play. Don't speak unless spoken to. I get the feeling you waited to be approached by people and let them guide you through the game rather than the reverse. So my question is: Was there anyone with whom you initiated gameplay and how did that happen?
That's all I have! Sorry for the lack of J. Law gifs, but I think you've all had your fill for years to come. Good luck to both of you.

"Was there anyone with whom you initiated gameplay and how did that happen?" - popstop Honestly, looking through my PMs, I see that I didn't start any of them with anyone myself, but it would unfair to say I just sat around and didn't talk to anyone, either. A lot of people approached me before I could approach them and that's just how it was. That's a realistic quality of who I am outside the BB house too though, because I'm very introverted so initiating conversations is never my priority, but I'm still a friendly person so I don't avoid them. Dipping my hand into everyone's cookie jar just wasn't my strategy and for me personally that would've never worked. I talked to the people I needed to talk to when I needed to talk to them and that's just how it went. But I definitely didn't just let people control my actions and I did a lot of strategizing, particularly when I was HOH, even if it didn't always work (like putting up Ed as a pawn and watching him get evicted to my surprise). I went to people all the time for input on things throughout the game. As for the "problem" you had with that particular problem.... Our personal one-on-one PM was longer than any of my other ones with any one person, and most of it was not even game talk, and the last message I sent to you went without response so I would've had to dig the PM up since I got no new notifications for it. If I had a burning desire to say something to you, I would have regardless of who responded last, but I think it's kinda dumb to be upset about that if you didn't respond to me first, lol. But really I think the main reason I didn't start up any new conversations with you is because you gave me the run-around about how you didn't want me to go, but it was pretty clear that I was your target for two weeks back-to-back, so I felt like at that point it was pretty unnecessary to try and talk to you when it was obvious you no longer wanted to keep me in the game. You and I talked a lot in this game but very little of it actually pertained to the game lol so when you set your sights on getting me out, I just didn't feel much desire to talk you at the point and I would've been surprised if you had felt any differently.

.indulgecountry I'm surprised our 8 page PM is your longest. I enjoyed talking with you about non-gameplay things. However, I didn't ask you to explain your interaction or lack thereof with me, but with anyone in the game. I made it pretty clear I was targeting you, so I understand why you didn't talk much game with me. But since I didn't see that type of gameplay on our end, I was giving you an opportunity to tell me with whom you actually did demonstrate that aspect.
