 I do not feel the way I played the game is more detrimental than her style of avoidance as you say. She made it here more by luck than anything else, she was lucky Jody wanted you out when he did and she is lucky I wanted to sit in the final with her over Jody. While my style of deception, though I tried to not lie more than what I needed to, is one of the things that got me here and I wouldn’t be here without it. I used it to gain trust and avoid being a target, which kept me safe at first before I had to rely more heavily on challenge wins. I also kept it up after, hoping it would keep people away from voting for me if I didn’t win immunity, I wanted everyone to feel they needed my vote on their side. I know you played a more honest straight forward game than I did, but I don’t think I would have made it as far as I did if I did that, you guys would have voted me out 8th like you almost managed to do.



 So if I lose for being more decietful, then so be it, I would not even have any chance at winning if I didn't play like that. It's not like I played a mean game, I treated everyone with respect and let people really get to know me, the friendships and connections were all 100% real, it was only the game related things I would lie about. It's not like I'm Russell Hantz, though I am sitting next to a Natalie.



 There was only one time I regret and that was the first time you got voted out, I told you and Jody we could vote Ryan out and then I changed my mind and decided to wait until redemption island was over, I felt bad about giving you unnecessary false hope. I apologized about it then and I still feel that was the most unnecessary thing I did in this game, I should have thought it more through first.



 I’m pretty sure Ryan could get more votes than Natalie can get, everyone respects his game more and we all agreed during the game that he was a huge threat when it came to jury votes. I saw Ryan as my biggest competition when it came to both game and jury votes. I think you and Jody would be equally able to possible get more votes than Natalie, as you have closer Huanca connections and you both became more visible near the end, especially you being the challenge threat.
