It's been a wonderful ride for Vecepia, who then proves that she's certifiable by talking about a "vision was brought to [her] about four months ago" with regard to her role on Survivor. She says that -- just like the scriptures say -- she wrote down the vision, and drew her plan on tablets. So now she thinks she's Moses? Vecepia says that she kept the tablets before her every day, and that when she got to the Marquesas, she had three-part plan: to have a strategy and see through it to its completion; to get to know and value each of the other S16; and to prove herself with her work ethic, spirituality and "gumption" without riding on coattails. She feels like she contributed to everything, and that even though they might perceive her as deceptive, she insists that she's been a friend to each of them. She asks them to remember that; then she says that she puts her faith in God that they will look at the situation objectively, so in other words, if they don't vote for her, they're acting against God's will. Still, she wants Him to bless them all.
Peachy tells the jury to take a moment to think about Neleh and Vecepia's comments: do they want a superior half-wit to win, or an insanely religious zealot? Pause.
The soundtrack chants and screams, and in the future, production can save lots of money by just recycling Kathy's tribal-sounding shrieking. It's now the jury's turn, and Peachy states again that it's important. It's important, Goddammit!
Tammy is first, but she probably should have been last, because her speech is the most vitriolic. She says she's always been upfront about the way she planned to play the game: she always admitted that she planned to lie, cheat, and do "whatever it took" to win. At some point during the game, however, her strategy changed and she started feeling bad about the way she was playing, because of Neleh and Vecepia. I'm sure they both thought she was going to say she changed her approach because she'd seen the light through their thoughtful and generous ways. Instead she cites their "holier-than-thou attitudes" as to not lying and cheating and, rather, playing with morals and integrity. She calls them hypocrites and "the biggest liars on the island." She claims that while they were busy condemning the Rotus for their deceptive and manipulative ways, Neleh and Vecepia were doing the same thing, but "under the guise of Christianity." Harsh! But true. Tammy says that Vecepia flip-flopped so much in the game that she probably didn't even know which side she was on, but she always made herself feel better because after she lied, she asked for forgiveness. Tammy then turns on Neleh, and says that she started the game out as a self-respecting twenty-one-year-old Mormon women, but that changed when she got greedy. She says that Neleh claimed only to care about having a place on the jury, but then lied and stabbed her alliance in the back before voting them off. Tammy (obviously) doesn't think either of them deserves the million. She thinks Kathy does, and she makes a point of observing that Kathy was voted off right after Vecepia stabbed Kathy in the back. Still, Tammy knows it's the nature of the game, and that they beat her at it by lying, manipulating, and deceiving better. She snidely congratulates them both and returns to her seat. Neleh looks kind of stunned and sad while Vecepia looks smug because God will surely smite Tammy for those wicked words.
