Board Thread:Season 44: Costa Rica/@comment-29109855-20171215113529

I enjoyed playing with you all guys in this season. It was pleasure to meet a group so interesting people. Also you were a big challenge for me. To be honest my main reason to play here was to meet new people around the world and have opportunity to increase my level of English fluency. It was first goal and I'm glad that it worked. CJ, Nadine, Conor, Layla, Zakriah. I hope we are going to chat after this season more and we are going to be friends after all of that. Spending time with you was great for me and it wasn't about my strategy. I truly like you and I'm grateful I could meet you here. Of course there are more people here but the limited time doesn't allow us to talk as much as we would want. I believe you all are amazing people. Simply it's not possible to be friend with everyone.

My game. Under the radar. Like always. Usually it's hard to prove people my impact in the game. It was difficult to in the same time look like a person who is not a threat and help the play go smoothly as I would like to see it. Vote out the right for me people. I think I did my best and I deserve to win this season. So strategy. My goals. Let's start.

I came back to this season with one simple goal. Revenge. I wanted to vote out Zakriah and Willow. I promised that to VL and it's probably why they let me play again. I made a funny video but I was serious. All I wanted to vote out them. Of course when you start again game in a tribe of 12 and have no idea about alliances, what happened during last days and no one seems have willingness to help you... life is hard. I didn't know most of the people in my tribe or I wanted to vote them out. From the beginning people lied to me. It was crazy. I wanted to help them. To do something interesting together. It seemed impossible. So all I could do was to cause chaos. During first tribal council I told two people who were the targets that other people want to vote for them. It's probably one of the reasons why CJ was blindsided. And so many idols... it was such a mess. But I used this time to get information about people with who I had to play. I needed to get their trust and show them that I'm worth of working together. I did it.

It's not surprise that during the next tribal Zakriah was voted out. It was team job of course. I was more than happy to help to change people minds and show them why it is wise to vote him out of the game.

Layla. I wanted her to stay in the game longer. She was perfect target, dangerous one. She had power in this season. And it's always good to have bigger threats in the game. Unfortunately, working with her was sometimes hard. I'm not very patient person. I'm experienced survivor player. Being treated like one of her +1 it wasn't nice. I pretended to be one of her people. But I needed to vote her out. She caused more trouble for my game in this moment. So again we started talking with people to vote her out. I was glad to change my side again. We did good job to vote her out. She could win this season, she was close to make everyone think that they want to be allie with her.

Willow. It was part of my revenge. The tribal council when I decided I don't want to be careful. I was like crazy... Simply needed to vote her out. And everyone voted for here. Thank you again! It was one of my happiest moments in my survivor career. : ) In the same time... I felt a bit bad. It was pleasure to talk with her. Issue of trust. I couldn't trust her again. I knew that we can't play together so It was best for me to vote her out.

Conor. You are the person I truly respect. You knew that I'm a big treat. And it was my reason why I decided that you can't be trusted. I really wanted to work with you. I enjoy people with imagination and mind like yours. I play survivor for a while. And I felt... that you are going to betray me. In the moment you wanted to vote me out... It was obvious who has the power in this season. You couldn't vote me out. I was very sad after this tribal council. To be honest it would be perfect to be here with you. I bet your final speech would be far more interesting than mine.

From F12 to this moment I worked carefully on my relationship with players. And it was the moment when all my job was helpful. My closest allies decided to blindside me. In a moment when I hoped I can trust them. They decided to blindside me... And the other side... Saved me. It was incredible. In a moment when all the people you want to trust and you want play with them... decide to vote you out because you are too big threat for them... Of course. Simple explanation we have here. Nadine was a bigger threat. I'm not special. Actually it was part of my strategy to leave Nadine in the game. I didn't let vote her out in any pasts days. I knew that her presence can be priceless for me. It's obvious that people vote out the threats who seem for them bigger. I think that I could be voted out if Nadine wasn't here. Maybe. We don't know. But my plan worked. I survived again. Survivor is sometimes funny game.

So it was the time when I tried to gain people's trust again. They were afraid of me or they had another alliances. I needed to show them that Im worth of their trust so I voted how they wanted.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Jon. You and Rhys betrayed my trust so no big deal that I voted for you. As I told you... we all think only about our own asses here.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Hesh. You know... There was the time in the game when I asked you if you want to go to the end with me. And I meant it. You told me that of course... we are going to work together. I was serious and you lied to me. You lied to me couple of times after that. So it was simple decision. You didn't want to be honest with me so why the hell I would want to have you in final 3? I'm not afraid of Ry. He did great job here but I believe I was far better.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Why should I win? I played great game here. From 0 in F12 I could survive all the crazy tribal council when people lied to me and wanted to vote me out. I changed sides. I had no trusted allies. People betrayed me all the time. And no matter how bad it was... I was still in the game. I knew what to tell people... when to pretend I'm not a threat and when to use opportunity to vote out my goals - Zakriah, Willow and Layla. I voted for people who show me that they are not worth of my trust. I didn't need idols to survive here. I like risky game. It's boring when you are secure during the tribal council. And the end of this game is also really important. Morgan needed immunity idol to get to F3. Ry and Hesh had to fight in the challenge. And I'm here because from the beginning of this season I plot my game and made good choices. Sometimes they seem bad but honestly... No risk no fan. I always give people a chance to play with me. They have the choice. W could go to the end together... or they could be voted out in the meantime. I'm happy that I'm here with Ry and Morgan. No matter how much lies were here... We had kind of alliance. Sounds like sweet bitter friendship.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Thank you so much for everything. I hope we made this season good. It was a challenge for me to play here and survive... When all the great players were voted out. No matter what is going to happen next... I'm glad. The best should win!
