Drew- '''So I know that I tried to get a group together to blindside you down the road and you caught me first, and got me out, so congratulations on that. I also know that we had the idol halves for the majority of this game. We had the inside scoop and the alliance with Jerby and I thought we would be going deeper into the game than what we did, and that sucked. However, I feel like you played an amazing game and I know that you would have taken the cake for sure had you gotten rid of Jerby instead of Sam so why not make that move with immunity around your neck and final 4? Also my second question is, I feel like you and Jerby played very similar games. I would like you to tell me the reason why Jerby should not get my vote tonight. '''

First of all, I appreciate the compliments on my gameplay dude. It means a lot to me coming from you, as you well know. The primary reason you had to go was because of your strategic ability in the game.. and the longer you stayed around the more of a threat you became to me. I know you like to say that we could have gone deep into the game together, but I think you and I both know damn well that it was only so long before one of us took the other. We were too strategic for that kind of relationship long term.

To your first question:  Easy. I feel that I played a better game than any of the final 6 players. I could have gone to F3 with any combination of them and felt relatively comfortable that my argument from a combination of strategic, social, and challenge gameplays would have been by far the strongest. As for why I chose Jerby, it was because that is the type of game I wanted to play. Pick 1 and get it done. Jerby was my right hand man the entire game, and not only does that make him deserving of final 3.. but it leads into your second question perfectly...

Jerby was my right hand man for this entire game. There isn't a single move that he can claim as his own, without admitting that I contributed 90% of the strategy and 50% of the social connections behind it. Again, this is why I felt so completely comfortable cutting out Sam instead of Jerby. I wanted to sit here at tribal with my best friend in the game. I don't believe for one second that you truly think Jerby's gameplay was on par with mine, given what you know about the moves I put together. You and I worked closely together for ~30 days.. and you saw first hand the opportunities I brought to the table. I give him extreme props for realizing a good opportunity when he's got one and jumping on board with the alliance.. it's a great bit of gameplay. However, big picture... I can't honestly sit here and say to you that I feel he should win this game over me. I've sat in too many strategic discussions wherein I'm doing most or all of the contributions, to agree with your assessment that Jerby's and my gameplay was similar.

Thanks for the questions bud
