Let me start by saying that all of your speeches really show how much you care about this game, and about choosing the best winner. I appreciate the effort you have put in and I hope you all see the effort I have put in to answer everything as openly and honestly as I can.

Next I would like to address how angry, and bitter some of you are with me. Some of the things you have said are incredibly hurtful, but with all that aside, I have something to say.

The mere fact that so many of you are angry with me for turning on you just proves that I deserve to win this game. You all thought you controlled me. You all thought you could manipulate your way to the end. You all thought that I was someone who was just another vote, someone who didn’t matter, someone who you could throw away when you needed to. You thought you were the kings of this game and that you ruled everyone. But all that power blinded you. You let me stay week after week even when I “disobeyed” you. You failed to see the wrath of someone who has been mistreated. You failed to see the strength and power in an underdog. You underestimated me. And that was your biggest mistake.

I am fighting as hard as I possibly can to get your votes. I have put time and effort, thought out each answer, poured my heart and soul into this. Wrote paragraphs on paragraphs to get you all to see things the way I see them.

When you are all voting tonight, please don’t be bitter. Vote for the person who truly deserves it. Vote for the person who rose to the occasion. Vote for the person who has played this game to win. I know you all want to be exactly where I am sitting now. So don’t be upset with me for the choices I made to get here. Vote for me BECAUSE I made those choices.

Finally, one last time, I would like to thank you all for being an amazing group of people. I had so much fun playing with each and every single one of you and I hope that we can continue to be friends afterwards and hopefully get to play together again. To Faith and Dani, you are both amazing girls and I am honoured to be sitting at this FTC with you. Congrats on making it to the end. <3
