Hello everyone,,,,Final Tribal Council at last..I've waited long for this moment,,,

Here it goes,, I came in to this game with a single purpose,, that is to win,,, and I am now one step closer at achieving my goal..

This may sound corny but I've been longing to say this,,, I really believe this season was made for me,,, haha,,,I came in with the name "Phoenix" because this is my redeeming season after Survivor Japan at DrPandaSurvivor Org... and like a Phoenix,,, I soared high,,, to get to this point.. and like what I have said in my first confessional this season... "From the ashes of my failure will rise the tower of my success." I really believe I've done that.

Now back to reality,,, :-) ,,, I started the game with the thinking that I need to play it smart. I need to be aware of what's happening around camp. I need to make quick decisions from time to time because the game is changing in a very fast pace.

Aside from playing well at challenges, I've made key relationships in and out my tribe Mendi,,

Within the tribe, I made a final two alliance with Amos, yes not with Uli because I can't sit beside him here and just wait to be called a Coat Tail Rider knowing the game Uli has played.

Outside Mendi,,, I've made good conversation with Abby which helped me a lot at merge,,, I had known this pattern, the way Andrei wants the boot to be,,, It will be one from Mendi then one from Tea Party then another from Mendi and so on which happened almost that way, After Matt was voted off,, I made my first big move which is to vote for Uli, to be safe,,but it didn't went that way because Kim was idoled out though it did benefit me however because next boots were Jemarc and Abby,,I voted for them both knowing that i have to get rid of future threats,,

I've also search hard for the idol,,, haha,,, so hard it caused me my ally Amos,,, Andrei knows what I'm talking about,,haha,,,

After that,,, I need a complete change of plan,,, my History Making Move,,, After the Impossible Immunity Challenge which let us all vulnerable,, I voted for Uli again and not for Andrei forcing a tie which ultimately led to the epic Final Five,,, one from each original tribe,,My riskiest move ever because my game now lies basically on me,,,

I survived it up to Final Four knowing that Andrei will be a bigger threat than me,,, and Final Four,,, I've won Immunity just when I needed it the most,,, in a challenge where a true "Minstrel" will truly emerged,,,"Poem Making" :-)

And so here I am now,,,,Final three,,, my faith lies in your hand now,,, I have given my best to get to where I am now,,, It's been one enjoyable journey and I'm happy to have played it with all of you guys,, such great players,,,Thank You

One last thing,, forgive me for saying this,,, haha,,, the bird in the logo Survivor Papua New Guinea same with the one in the country's flag,, I believe it's a PHOENIX,,,  :-)

That's it,,,

Soaring High,

JR
