Now before I get anything started, congratulations to all three of you! I hope you're all feeling damn proud of yourselves, because I for one, am proud of you. I'm also proud of myself! I mean, thirty seven days without showering?! Shaving?! It was simply bliss. I sure smell better than you three--I can smell you from here!

But in all seriousness, you truly did what seventeen others couldn't do. To think...seventeen. What a number. You outwitted, outlasted and outplayed seventeen people. People from all across the world who were all having an irresistible craving. This craving, of course, was to sit where you three are sitting now. I am not ever going to call you guys lucky...

...because you're not.

It was all one hundred and ten percent skill. Blood, sweat, determination, and nothing but. I hope you know that for the past thirty nine days I did the same--pour buckets of all of this into this game. But I just wasn't there. I could see the light in the tunnel--a tunnel that led straight to the end of this game--but two roadblocks got in my way, and I think you know what they are at this point. But tonight is not about my mistake in the game. Tonight is about you three--Drew, Jerby and Jonathan. And tonight? I've got a lot on my mind.

First of all, let's begin with Drew. Hello, Drew! How are you doing? I'm doing great! Just great. Drew, I believe we nailed it right on the head when in Touchy Subjects, you were picked as the "easiest person to talk to" this entire game. It's not a lie! I loved talking with you since the first day we met in this game, even taking things to a personal level, much like I did with the other players in this game. It makes me happy to know that you won't apologize to anyone in this game. What you did was pretty much that--simply strategy. I'd be lying if I said I was intimidated by you. The way you carried yourself, the way you were able to strategize with everyone in this game blew me away. To be honest, it was like we all had "a place" in this game at the hands of you. Not only were you smart, but you said it yourself, you were damn fine in challenges. I loved your game play. Remember when me and you duked it out in "Run Run?" It was nice to simply talk with you about the game, pointing out how much it was bad, or how our deaths in the game were complete bull crap. I knew you'd beat me, it was completely out of the question. But nonetheless, it was still fun. My goal this game was to be as nice as I can possibly be to everyone. Hell, I'd be lying if I said I didn't excessively use emoticons throughout this game. It made me seem more open to alliances, and people befriending me. Consider it "pulling an Alejandro." Whether this "strategy" of mine worked or not, the idea of inviting me into the Inside Scoop made me feel confident in myself. To make things better, you were very open into inviting me into the final three alliance with Sam and yourself included. By this point, I swear my hopes were going to get too high. That is until the truth came out. You were nothing more than a threat to everyone by the time the merge had come. You said it yourself, ''"if you were targeting me, I took you out." ''The thought of having a monster watching my back was a very safe thought, so I took it. Then came the two flaws I may have of you in my eyes. First off, what was up with you and the Survivor quiz challenge?! I saw a completely new side of you that day, and I'm going to reflect back on this previous quote I mentioned. I thought I would have been able to target a Drew that, again, I've never seen before! Next, Jerby's allegiance to you. You were practically fed idols by him! I'll admit, it is very smart for you to be able to do something as such. To have someone have that uncanny allegiance to you is great. It was when you used the first idol where I decided my allegiance with you was over. If I hadn't been so stupid and exploited a glitch in Black Holes, me, Sam and Jonathan were going to rip "Drewby," (or whatever its called) from the inside out. But, as things fell into piece, you were able to do what I thought I was doing this entire game. Capitalizing. So, Drew? What more can I say about you then this; you are undoubtedly one of the nicest and smartest people anyone could ever meet, and good luck to you tonight.

Next, I'll talk with Jerby. Jerby, my man! It's only been two days! Out of everyone in this game, you had to be my best friend. Like with Drew, I loved talking with you. You relieved me from the stress, and made it seem like everything was going to be okay. It was always nice to vent on you about what was happening in my daily life. So, thank you for listening! I'd like to consider ourselves "equal, but opposite." Namely, during the beginning of this game. The two of us clicked instantly when we talked! It was like we had so much in common. But when the "world war," as I like to call it begun, we were..."frenemies," at that. That is, until nationality pride faded into the distance and it was all about tribal pride! You joined me in the Atonga tribe, which I must add, congratulations on being the final original member of the Atonga tribe still in the game! I couldn't have been happier. I got to work with a cunning, nice and smart man. You remind me of Drew when I say this. We worked amazing together as a tribe--winning five consecutive immunity challenges! But good things never last forever, do they? Thankfully, none of us met our ends in the game, and even after the tribe swap, we still stuck together as a unit. And finally, we merged! Iva Aeto. Here's where my first question for you comes up...why align yourself with Drew? Had you not realized the man would be a major threat in this game? Why not attempt to vote him out with us? I'd love to know...when you aligned yourself with Drew, our friendship declined only a little. I stopped talking with you a bit, because I knew you were no good. And when my downfall in the game came, I bet you and everyone else had no problem at all voting me out. Regardless, Jerby, like with Drew, I absolutely loved your game play! You skills when it came to challenges blew me away. You were able to win three of the five individual immunity challenges, as well as own an idol half, and own an entire idol in of itself! Which begs the question, why the hell did you give both away to Drew? Thank you so much, Jerby, and good luck to you tonight.

And last, but certainly not least, Jonathan. The "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" hopeful! First off, I must say I admired you for being able to do what you were able to do with this. You definitely seem like a damn smart person! The thing is, Jonathan...I hated how you played the game. I'm going to be blunt with you, out of everyone sitting here, it makes me sick to my stomach that you are here. I feel for Sam--the poor guy--being voted out before you. Jonathan, you just seem like the forgettable type. Do you know why you didn't receive votes for you for thirty nine days? It's because...well. What the hell have you done in this game?! The only thing that comes to my head is that you were able to find both halves of the Hidden Immunity Idol, to in which you immediately gave to Ahad. But that brilliant plan worked, right? After that, we hadn't seen or interacted with each other at all. You were busy "scheming" or as I like to call it "weaseling" your way through until the merge. Here, after twenty eight long days is when I finally got the chance to talk with you. I'll admit, you seemed like a promising spirit! Though the stories I've heard of how you were "bossy," "cocky," and so demanding blew me away. I didn't know I could trust you. Here, I also got a first hand at how you performed at challenges. And oh, Lord, I almost pissed myself. For someone who managed to find themselves as a studio contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire," you sure aren't the Survivor type--and even one online! Online! When I think of you three as animals, you are definitely a bee. Always so busy, wanting to get everything done...and a pest. Also, another one that enters my mind is...sheep. Goat. Whatever you prefer, I'm fine with. I hope you've realized this by now, that you've been played this entire game. You are not a good strategist--even going to the lengths of not even telling me if you were to vote me out! Sam told me he was, and I respected that, because I saw it coming a mile away. You? I told you and you didn't bother to say a word. Why? It was all a matter of common sense, so why the hell not?! You're strategy game was bad, your challenge performance was worse, and when I realized that you were still in this game longer than me?! I knew the exact instant you were being played at the hands of "Drewby." Poor Sam. Poor me. Poor everyone who got voted out before you--the most forgettable Survivor player ever.
