So um, first of all, I want to say I DO agree with a few things you've said in your speech. You are completely right about the part that I was extremely lucky this season. There's no disagreement on that. But I believe that I am anything but underserving of sitting in the Final Tribal Council right now.

Were some of my moves flawed? Yes, they were. Did I deserve to go home in the Final 8? Heck yes I did. But the thing is, I'm here, I made FTC and I made FTC for a reason. I do not agree with you when you said my real placement this season was 8th because despite of how lucky I was, surviving a vote is still surviving a vote. And I know this whole situation is wayyy different from Kaoh Rong but Aubry was originally going to get 11th in KR had Neal not gotten medvac'd. But does that make her any less undeserving of sitting in the final? No. Sometimes things happen in some games that none of us have any control over and at the end of the day it does not matter how you got here, the whole journey is what matters. While I know that my game wasn't perfect, i don't think it was that horrendous like you said. I did make crucial moves and earned my spot here. My physical game, I believe, was pretty impressive. After all I've won 2 immunitites in total, was close to many others and only lost 2 of them due to a random tie-breaker question. I worked super hard on every single challenge, and this might sound super lame but ever since the start of the game, if there were ever a puzzle or a flash game types of challenges, I would always spend at least 10 hours of my day on it to make sure I get a great score. Sure my physical game wasn't the absolutely best this season, but it was one of the best. My strategic game, like many others jurors have pointed out, is seen as super messy and confusing. That is also correct. But if you look closely enough, I always choose to ally with the right people at the right time, which lead to my targets being sent home in 8/11 tribals I was in, more than anyone else's this season. And that wasn't just pure luck. Just like you, I received votes for tribals in a row, straight from the final 8 up until the f4 vote, except for that one time I was immune in the F7. So I dont think targetting the same person for rounds after rounds should be considered as that bad of a move if you have reasonable reasons to. I had to try to get you out everytime i got a chance back then because you WERE going to coming for me, and you really were. I believe the only downfall of my strategic game was the f8 and f10 vote (which yeah looking back now im actually regretting it), other than that i think ive done a pretty great job. Whether the plan was originally mine or not, I always got an eye on what was happening and I didn't only rely on what the others were telling me. My social game, you were also right. It was the worst compare to my physical and strategic game. The attitude I had while talking to you sometimes was intolerable and I'm feeling pretty much disgusted at myself for not even realizing how terrible it was of me to ignore you for hours. And I'm sincerely sorry for that. That was also a big mistake on my social game and while I know it's not really a 'professional' thing to say in ftc I'm seriously admitting that right now. Other than that, I think also did a kinda great job in forming bonds with people which made them decide to keep me over others and was one of the reasons that got me here in the FTC. Overall I think I wasn't that useless and clueless like I was painted out to be. Every single tribal I was in, I either voted the way I felt comfortable to or the way I thought it'd benefit me the most. I was someone who was willing to take risks to make move. And I truly think I 100 earned my spot here
