Nora, I know my speech was disappointing to say the least but I am not a good writer and to be completely honest I myself didn’t feel deserving of this spot due to the words of others. BUT I know now that I did play a game regardless of what people think.

Premerge was just as crazy as merge for me. I went to several tribal councils and had to make sure I was voting off the people I KNEW I wanted I didn’t want in merge. Like Pory, Tia, Donna. They are all huge players and bringing them into merge would have been frightening.

When we swapped, I took the advantage of one world and talked to Kat, Shane, Nora, Dwayne even though they were not on our tribe and I made sure to get information and make sure they would knew I was on their side when merge comes. I also decided to vote with the original marchena in this moment to get rid of the targets who made themselves clear during one world and bring down OG Pintas numbers. During one world, Kat told me Anthony has an advantage, and Shane went incredibly hard and tried to save his other tribe members. Due to this it was really easy to get Anthony angry at Kat and the rest of the pinta members. This is just an example of one UTR thing I did intentionally.

After you almost went home, I decided that even though you were a huge threat, you were good for my game. You were going to work with me versus a duo who you had just told me wanted to get me out. So I worked with you and lynn to get Michael and Anthony out, knowing I needed to get you out right after them.

When it came down to your vote, I felt really bad for getting you out but you were honestly the biggest threat, and Lynn had an idol. I knew lynn had to go next and my next plan was actually to get out thomas. I made a final three with Thomas and Jake to ensure jake would not vote thomas. I even contemplated all day if I should use the idol jake gave me on me or Thomas. In the end it didn’t end up mattering as you had majority of the votes anyway.

Honestly, right after Anthony said I wasn’t playing the game I just acted like I truly didn’t feel like I would win and that I wasn’t trying. I messaged everyone like “ugh No ones going to vote for the girl who didn’t play”  so I wouldn’t be a threat over thomas. I think that was a huge part of the reason why I’m here.

Like I stated several times, I used my social game to get to where I am. I know I didn’t do the last challenge (I DID TRY) but I knew I was safe NO MATTER WHAT so honestly that doesn’t matter here? I had a connection with every single person in this game to ensure I was always on peoples mind, but never a threat. I always made sure I was voting the person that would be BEST for MY game. I’m sorry if some people don’t like the way I played or don’t even think I played at all, but I tried hard to make sure I wasn’t viewed as a threat but to always have information coming to me. And I’m sorry if that’s put me exactly where i wanted it to put me!

Thank you Nora for reminding me that I actually did play a good fucking game and I shouldn’t let people bring me down.
