Right here, Stepper, Most Honorable Judge. I brewed it fresh especially with you in mind.

.....Kat......KAT......KAT!!! What ... what ... what!! Okay let's see if I have this right. I'm chucked outta the competition, cast aside like a worn out old shoe, like so much worthless refuse, and now you want me to help judge who gets "my" million bucks, is that about the gist of it? Ya got a danged nerve is all I can say. Thank your lucky stars I'm such a nice easy going bloke, I'll swallow my pride and lend a hand. Now you watch out, 'cus she's been known to try to bribe people ..... Not that such thangs work on me... or any other judge.... Speak for yourself mate, I'm not adverse to a bit of "free enterprise" bargaining, matter of fact it's mandatory. Right, a question for the two contestants, same question for both ............ In the event of my voting for you, how much are you willing to pay me in the way of a br ............ errrrrr I mean show of appreciation. P.S. I've saved both essays to peruse at my leisure, decision pending .................. and don't worry Lady P, the fact that Jox was all chocked up to see me go while you called me a suck-up won't influence my decision. ;D Oh yeah, and you're welcome to my mirror.

I'm so sorry Bud that you didn't win the Million Bucks. But that's how it works on the show. The last few people who get booted become the final judges. And since you're the ONLY person to get booted I thought you at least ought to have the privilege of making them squirm for it a bit.

No, no, no, Dearest Katina, you've got it all wrong. I called you a humble suck-up....and it was meant as a term of endearment. Actually, I am in awe of your superior suck-upness - so much so, that I tried to emulate your superior suck-up ability in my "Why I should win the million dollars" plea for your vote. (Did I mention something somewhere about integrity?)
That, and I gave you a parting gift....which of course, is not all you'll receive.....as a show of appreciation, Most Honorable Dearest Katina Judge-All-Mighty.
Psst....we'll work out the details later; I've gotta run now. In the meantime, make yourself comfy in those fleecy, warm toasty socks I won. Doesn't matter that you're probably relaxing in the luxury of that palace while Joxie and I are still stuck on an iceberg waiting your decision. Everyone can use a pair of oh-so-soft fleecy socks; they never go out of style or season.

Oh, and I don't need the mirror now, since Joxie's already seen the final challenge.
But here.....look at yourself, Oh-so-fine-looking Most Honorable Judge Katina. Have you ever seen anyone so handsome looking?

You know, that came awfully close to the perfect bribe! And spiking it with preemo Tennessee White Lightening was inspired! Kat has got to try this stuff - in way of sharing the goodness. You know, you seem to have done really well for yourself during the game. Scrappy must have known you had this hidden concoction. But Scrappy is immune to bribery...
But, alas, who can resist the snog, er, song of the Siren? I'm sure she has more to offer than a simple wave and modest kissing up.
Ah, I just love our forthright Aussie friends! Nothing like getting right to the point, eh?

Well, Kat. I will give you half my winnings ...
minus the pain, hardship, mental, emotional & physical sufferings that I incurred from being dropped down a laundry chute. So ... let's see ... that leaves you with ... hmm ...
Sorry mate, it seems you owe me. But if I win, I promise not to come after you for compensation. And let us not forget that I sold you some of my food winnings ... and when we were tossed into one camp at the end, you benefited from my torches too. And I'm sure I shared any frozen food winning left overs with you while we were thrown together.
And I'd just like to say as a REMINDER, that I had nothing to do with Steppers death during the playing of this game.
Thank you everyone.

No No I admit. Stepper's death scene was all me. Except that it was a near death scene. No actual Steppers were harmed in the the making of this game.

OMG!!!! I almost forgot; I hope it's not too late! No actual Scrappies were bribed during the judging of this final challenge.

I'm so sorry Bud that you didn't win the Million Bucks. Yeah yeah that's all well and good, but how do I get back the down payment I made on the Penthouse Suite the other week. But here.....look at yourself, Oh-so-fine-looking Most Honorable Judge Katina. Have you ever seen anyone so handsome looking? Okay, ya had me with your first post about my "superior suck-up ability" [ I was good wasn't I ] but now you're pushing the boundaries of suck-up etiquette ............ although come to think of it you're correct, so I guess there's no harm; righto, forget what I said, you're back in the running. Kat has got to try this stuff - in way of sharing the goodness. Tennessee White Lightening [ sounds potent ] added to Lady P's sludge, a.k.a coffee, errrrr I might pass on that thanks just the same Step, I'd like to keep the top on my head if possible. Well, Kat. I will give you half my winnings ... minus the pain, hardship, mental, emotional & physical sufferings that I incurred from being dropped down a laundry chute. So ... let's see ... that leaves you with ... hmm ... Sorry mate, it seems you owe me.

White Lightening is illegally manufactured and acquired Hatfield's and McCoy's back country hidden in the hills home made still liquor. I swear, literally, I saw one guy pour some in the tank of his truck because he ran out of gas in front of the motel I was in. The truck shot blue flame out the tail pipe and roared like a locomotive. It's not for the faint of heart. I had some in the diving bell with me, which is why I have no idea how long I was down there.

I've been informed that I can ask a couple questions of my own in hopes of helping me arrive at a final decision, which is proving more difficult than I originally suspected. Sounds to me like this is my best option. I've got a couple or three or four (thousand) questions. Not really, just wanted to get your heart beating for a second. Nothing overly stressful, unless winning the Whoosh Bucks matters. I'd like to make sure this is completely fair for the remaining participants, so here's my suggestion. (Translation, this is how I’m going to make a final decision.) I'll ask a question or two at a time until I've managed to decide who is most deserving. You have two options on how to reply, your choice. I'll give you a couple days to answer. But, no going back through old posts researching answers! You can use that clever little trick of coding your responses. Copy and paste this, [quote][font color=B9D3EE]answer/s[/font][/quote] then replace answer/s with your answers. Or, you can PM me and after I have both replies, I'll post them so we can all enjoy your clever responses. Which ever you prefer is fine with me. I've noticed that coded replies are subject to compromise if you happen to use the "30 most recent" link to see who's said what recently. I know you wouldn't intentionally peek at a competitor’s answers because you all prefer playing fair , but you'll have to ignore the recent reply link too keep from compromising the honor code (rule 5b, note 2. No cheating by reading someone else's reply for clues.) Let me know your choice for responses, and then I’ll post my first question.

I don't use the "30 most recent" link. I go from board to board and click on the (new) image to get to the latest posts.
I'm fine with posting invisible.
It never even occurred to me that the color code wouldn't work with the "30 most recent" page.

Oooo, questions! I love questions!
1. When's dinner?
2. What's for dinner?
3. May I have seconds?
4. What's for dessert?
Oh....they're not those kinds of questions, I suppose. It doesn't matter to me what mode we use to answer them - SSSC, (Super-secret Spy Code), or PMS, (Private Messaging Stepper), as long as we can have dessert when we're done.
5. Chocolate Cheesecake?
Good choice, Katina - you go right ahead. I guess I'll just have to cancel those right-in-the-front-row life-time supply of season tickets to each and every home and away Cats' game that I ordered just for you that I was going to pay for with my winnings.

What happened to the flipping end quote thingy?} Gee. That sort of complicates things mate. I was thinking they're doing such a good job of trying to butter you up that I'd pick you. I guess we could still do that and then split the winnings. Of course, we'd have a third person to, um, influence.

Secret Judges Questions Since I wasn’t able to play, I can’t ask a question like, “Cretin, why the heck did you stab me in the back? And, how does that qualify you to be something other than another loser?” But I wouldn’t want to infer my fellow guest judge is a loser, because he’s certainly a winner. (Isn’t that right contestants?) Okay. Here’s the beginning of your questions: I tried to help kat, but gentleman that he is, he refused. (That’s why he should win by the way.) 1. Without going back to review the old posts, I tried giving him a best score and highest score of what values? (One point each. No “range” guesses. A single value guess please. Closest value wins.) 2. Do you believe that I actually scored the points I was suggesting he take? (Good chance for honesty or flattery here. ) 3. Rather than bluntly saying what scores I was claiming to have achieved, I “talked around” the problem . What ruse did I use to give him the scores? (This is the extra extra extra credit question. Nail this one and you can score big points! )

I don't think so! I''d be paying that off in peso's, where you'd be paying in Aussie dollars! I know which one she'd pick for that!

No need to put this in super-secret code, Step. Might as well cast your vote for Joxie, cuz I honestly have little idea what you're referring to - I think it might've been the penguin tossing game, but that's just a guess, and no way could I remember actual scores from way back then. Or was it just yesterday? Sometimes I have a hard time remembering that even.

Gee. I didn't realize those were going to be so hard. I need to come up with easier questions. Yes, I was talking about the Penguin game, but I guess it was too long ago. I thought you guys and gals answered some really tough challenge questions during the game and expected this to be nothing more than WAGs. Should we again or stick to the essays?
