Heyo Spencer, every speech that's posted I get so relieved to hear that that's one more person who I can still be friends with after the game because they're not bitter in anyway, so thank you for not being bitter. Thank you for your kind comments about my game <3

About your idol play, I will clarify to what I extent I think I played in that tribal's outcome here. Two people undoubtedly wanted to vote you out regardless of what I said, that is true (Jack and Julia). It is true is that you found and played that idol completely yourself which is 100% on you. But what is also true is that I basically controlled 3 votes - Me, Marc and Morena; we were not decided. Had I told them I wanted to vote Jack, we could have voted Jack out normally 5-3, because I knew you and Nicole were voting Jack. But I didn't, I said I insisted to vote you "because Jack is more likely to have an idol" and they agreed. I posted my convo with Morena telling her to vote you in my speech and the same occurred with Marc - he asked me "what do you think" and I said "voting Spencer is the best thing to do" so he did. By doing that, it meant you had to use your idol to save yourself, which was only a good thing for me, because the person I wanted out, Jack, was still going home and an idol was being wasted. That only leaves AJ, and while, yes, I am unsure of how much influence I had on his vote (I don't particularly think much at all), we discussed it, he seemed unsure, but I said I was voting you and he also voted you. Regardless of how much sway I had over AJ, it still stands that by making Marc, Morena and I vote you, you had to waste your idol when I could have let you save it and got them on board with us to vote Jack out 5-3. So ultimately, by putting myself into the position where I could control 3 votes in the middle between two pairs - [Jack and Julia] and [You and Nicole] and know where everyone else was voting and where the idol was, I could determine where the majority would lie. That is what I meant to say when I explained my role in Jack's vote out, and I'm sorry if it came off in any other way, that wasn't my intention! It is also worth mentioning that after I voted in the majority this round, I spoke to Julia more than I ever had before because she felt we were on the same side and that she could trust me and not Nicole, who she had previously been aligned with. Obviously I didn't control every person's vote, but I knew about the idol, where everyone was voting and could control a crucial 3 votes, which is what allowed me to have some control over that tribal council's outcome.

If there's anything you still don't quite believe about this or want to know then please say because I really wanna make sure me and the jury believe the same story about this tribal council because I think it's really key :)

If I could have done something differently, it would have been to try not to lie so much. When you're in the game, about to pull off a blindside, it's so difficult to explain to people why they're getting voted off out of nowhere and I felt so bad just saying I was going along with people's plans but not doing so. But I managed to do it with Nicole, with you and with AJ (I hope he's not mad) and I wish I could have done that more. Having said that, I was always 100% loyal and honest to Marc and Morena which was my ultimate goal. Also, more socialising would always have been a plus e.g. with AJ. ALSO, I would have LEARNED HOW TO SPELL THE TRIBE NAMES. On the tribe chant challenge I spelt Se(n)sibi wrong, and then on FINAL IMMUNITY CHALLENGE I spelt the tribe name as Cahmahl not Cahmawl so I had to change that too aodfhoidsgh... I have great game awareness hahaha

Thank you for your speech and I'm glad we got to play so much of this game together <3 <3
