'''Joanna was under the radar sure, but half of these moves she tries to take all the credit for were either blatantly obvious that it was the move she should have made, were more harmful to her than helpful, or wasn't even her move to begin with. '''

Are you fucking kidding me? (It was for you, Felix :*) Lies... I hate it. During finale tribal council it's time for honesty. I have never said that any of moves was only my achievement. Always it's a team work. I could only have my bigger or smaller influence for a situation. I can't also find nothing what was harmful for me. I told you all that my strategy and goal wasn't to have my alliance and go with it to the end but in every situation have a choice with who to vote.

Katherine - absent person, it was fair for all of us to stay in the game longer than she. Grant - we both with Linus voted him out with majority. Mary - we both with Linus voted her out with majority. Michael/Scott - we both with Linus voted for him because the fight of orginal tribe alliances. Felix - he messed a lot and I didn't want to be the one to be seen as his closest allie and be voted out because of that. And I couldn't trust him in 100% so it was a very good move. Anna - I had the weakest contact with her, I didn't need in the game someone with whom I didn't have ways to do something interesting. John - From the beginning of the season I wanted him to be voted out because he was really big treat and I had alliances with Marie and Michael. Michael/Claire - I had a big problem with talking with her, I wanted to vote her out. I knew about votes for Michael but I didn't care about him because it was so crazy tribal council so I prefered him to be voted out than me. Christine - I knew that jury is going to adore her... Claire - She played a good game here. Maybe better than Linus'.

I can't find a moment where I made a wrong choice. Of course always they could be better or different but I didn't so nothing what I regret.

'''An instance of a blatantly obvious move was voting with Vatanchu during the swap. Literally her only alternative was be at the bottom the round after, I was in the same position and made the move because it made no sense to hand the other alliance the keys to my fate in the game. '''

He is telling why he decided do the same thing what I do with the same motivation and is telling that it was obvious... for both of us. Lol.

'''I know you say Felix that it was in Joanna's best interests to cut you and not John at f9, but how exactly did that help her. '''

John was loyal, calm person and I felt that he won't do anything against me. He told in his speech that we had a strong connection. So I chose the allie with whom I felt better. Linus, please, don't try to daydream about my game when you have no idea about that.

'''Joanna acted like a nervous wreck that round and seemed shady as can be repeatedly pleaing for me to not vote her off because she's trustworthy, a move which ironically made me trust her significantly less than I already did. '''

You are right. I acted. Pretended. To show you that I'm not a treat. That I'm your puppy and you are better than me, that you are the power over me. I wanted you to think that I was scaried of all that situation, that I coudn't control my emotions.

'''I also can't see  how someone who abstained from so much, including a vote, thus making them look like a goat could should be considered the better player to those who  always submitted and worked  their ass off. '''

Abstraining from the challenges was part of my strategy. I told about that in Scott's topic.

I abstained from most of the challenges for purpose. I'm an experienced player and I tried different ways to go to the end and almost always I was voted out as last player before the jury because I was both strategic, social treat and in challenges also. I didn't want to have the same, big target on me in this season. It was simply a test... to play without having special powers. I didn't also guess idols - only when someone asked me about that. In my previous seasons I always get hidden idols and special items... In Tikal I decided to make an experiment. To check myself if I could play as well as always without special stuff. I did it and I'm proud of it. And it's one more reason. I had limited time for the game. I decided to use it for what was necessary to survive (strategy, talking with people) and helpful for hosts (confessionals). I'm sure that I sacrificed more time for the game than Linus. Reason? English. It was simply fucking difficult for me and it is to understand what people say and write them answers as good as they are. I could write this message for example 10 times faster in Polish. Okey, it's my fault and it's English season. I want only make you show that I also spend plenty of hours every day taking part in this season. My activity was only less discernable but it doesn't mean that it didn't existed. I hate complaining but sometimes it's needed. And time zones difference I could also use as my argument but I don't want to do it. I did my best here. I was pretty active when I could and I took part in this season wholeheartedly. I hope that it's enough.

'''I'll leave the bashing the others sitting next to me's game with this. It's all well and good that after all is said and done Joanna can sit there and say how she was a mastermind in the game, and I give props to her for how well she could speech, but unless that speech actually reflects a good game that she played, it's little more than a fantasy. '''

It's sad that you need to attack my speech and my person. Calm down, please. You don't need lie after lie. Try to be honest... at the beginning with yourself. I didn't like your speech because I have found there some things what made you bigger star than you actually was. I don't need to show people how poor your game was. I could do that without a problem. But I think that my hard work is good enough without showing people what was bad in yours game and strategy. Or Marie's of course.

'''At final 8 I was clearly a threat, Michael saw this, but I stayed anyways over someone who was in Marie's freakin alliance (up until this point at least). Everyone knew I had voted for John and not you the previous round so it made all the sense in the world to cut me, but they didn't. Here's the reason for it, I could always make it look like I was someone who could be used as a number if I were kept. The fact that I could convince people to keep me round after round despite them seeing me as a power player speaks to how well I could play the social game hugely to my benefit and get me to where I am now. '''

Don't you see how are you focused on yourself? You were only one of some good players in the game in this moment. And I also was the one what people wanted vote out. We both worked hard to change people's minds. And during next tribal councils... Sorry but for example John was for me a bigger treat.

'''Why I ask did John so quickly side with me again not even a full round after I attempted to vote him out? '''

It was his decidion that he gave you another chance. Is he now with us here?

'''Why did everyone target Anna at final 8, despite knowing I voted for John too and in all logic would have been the more diplomatic and strategic vote? '''

All what I'm going to say it's only my personal opinion, I can have one so don't treat it like the most important thing in the world. I'm only guessing. I can. :) "I'll point only one of the reasons.. people knew that you had known that it's a chance for vote you out tonight. And blindsides are always a better way to entertain VL..."

'''Why, even after you spilled to Claire that I lied to Anna, did that whole tribe vote for Scott and not me at final 10? '''

Again, Linus, please. 9 more players. You weren't the most important one.
