Oh boy this speech was a doozie. I want to say first that while it's flattering for you to say, I really disagree that people like Brett, Romain, and Anna were occupying my butthole. I think I had a lot of control over the game, but in reality each of those three had a game plan of their own that, had they been a bit more fortunate, would have made me look like an idiot. Romain got screwed by an idol, Brett by a tie breaker, and Anna by Tates decision at the last tribal.

Also, I appreciated you drawing the Shirin parallel. Once it became everyone vs Whitney, it's less iconic and more sad. It's something that I got wrapped up in and that I regret, I don't feel good about Whitney or Kristen dreading the choice of voting between two people who antagonized them. I feel like Kristen is worth mentioning as well because she caught a lot of flak from me specifically. Also, I know it comes off as corny to explain everything away as a game move. I'm having trouble putting it to words because I did want to give the impression of being disliked by Whitney, but I also got carried away with past the point of competition. It's also very awkward because I'm only here rather than Anna because of my feud with Whitney. Definitely makes me feel like I'm fighting with Tate for blood money.

To your "wtf did I do": When I said I was close with everyone but you at Zibaq, I really was close to everyone. Even Constance, I talked to him more than anybody else in Zibaq. I didn't dislike you, I messaged you quite a lot, but you obviously saw me as sketchy and you didn't open up to me in the same way that everyone else did. That's not a knock on you, I had a majority alliance so you were absolutely right to be skeptical of me. I just knew how you felt about me and I knew I was going to be a target of yours.
