True. The Final TC speeches and responses to questions can sway
votes, but the Ponderosa discussions will generally prevail.

The players go to the Final TC with their votes cast in hard clay...

And the fact is that none of the jurors were voted out BY Russell
alone. They seem to be enjoying seeing their fellow players booted
out just as they themselves were booted out.

I have not done the statistics but my memory of 19 seasons says the
first two or three jurors are FAR more likely to vote for the winner
than the last two or three and I suspect resentment at F4 (which would
probably be reduced had they had more than 2 or 3 days to think about
it) is probably the reason.

Probably should do a correlation someday but that's one of the jobs I
could do but hope somebody else will... at least to collect the info
into a spreadsheet! Obvious other things to correlate would be initial
tribe and gender. (I'm suggesting women are more forgiving than men -
I'm thinking of the 'snakes and rats' speech as a prime example!)
