Just copy paste this over if it's looking like I won't post anything in time

===================================================================
I just want to start by congratulating all three of you 
y'all had me worried there that at least one Nostro was going to slip through to the final tribal but at least we got our desired outcome of an all-blue FTC.
Honestly my vote is still kind of up in the air? Like I want to come into this with a pretty open mind and I'm definitely open to having my perception swayed so long as it doesn't seem like you're making extensive bounds in order to lay claims to moves that weren't really yours. But I digress.
I'm not going to take up too much of your time and tell y'all what I think of you. I find that shit kind of petty, like I have no reason to blast any of you extensively because I don't feel personally affected by what happened lol. But I flicked back to the opening challenge for the season and I've gotta say it was kind of interesting to see how perceptions of social games went from then to now.
On one hand we had Selene, who was super-up-there, but in the end your social activity kinda turned a few people against you because it seemed a lot of Sulaco didn't want to hear your "fucking essays" (not my words) and apparently you didn't take the hint about this when people tried to be really brief with you?
Xena was like, mid-ground. Which I feel like it's a pretty accurate as a description for your pre-merge. You did really well to kinda situate yourself dead-centre; or at least appear this way and yeah -- I think that definitely helped set you up for a good end game because I can't recall your name really coming up too often in the pre-merge as someone untrustworthy so I guess you must've had a lot of people trusting you when Sulaco started falling apart. Good job, but still, it kinda makes me feel like you didn't have to fight the same way that Selene did.
Mother Russia, you've had your tires pumped a fair bit in jury lodge as someone who had "amazing strategy". And yeah, if what I'm hearing is true, then I guess you did. But on the opening weekend you were ranked as the third-worst socially and then I think you kinda rode the back of Sulaco success in the pre-merge and never really attempted to chat to a lot of us? Like I'd go days where my messages were sitting in my outbox with no reply. It seemed like you came alive at the merge but OTOH I feel like you were sort of bottom-2 on the pecking order at Sulaco and had we lost a few more challenges I'm not sure you would've made the merge.
So I guess my questions are two-parters and I just want these answered as best possible. Keep in mind I'll probably check some answers in other threads here and there but this is your night so ultimately if any jurors are trying to change that I'm totally going to stay out of their threads
PART ONE - All three
I want you to give me a spark-notes version of why I should vote for the other two ladies. You can take their opening argument and summarise it, but I don't want a word-for-word thing. If you can compress it down into one or two sentences; that's perfect. Just sum up what argument they're making about why they deserve to win.
PART TWO - Individual parts
Selene -- tell me why you should win when, at least from my perspective, it seemed like it was a little bit of a struggle for you to stay afloat once the Trinity vote transpired. Outside of the obvious reason that "I overcame the odds".
Xena -- tell me why you should win when, at least from my perspective, it seemed like you never really had to sweat too many votes in this game.
Mother Russia -- tell me why you should win when, for the first few weeks of this game, it seemed like you couldn't give that much of a shit about most of the people on your tribe?
================================================================================
footnote (not to be posted but worth noting in the aftermath).
I actually want Xena to tell me that "not having to sweat" is a good reason because she was in such a good position. I honestly feel like Xena has kinda Jeremy'd this.
