Ok. Before I ask you questions I would like to say that being "ulonged" isn't going to make my opinion better, you just eren't good in challenges. After the swap you survived because of luck (Sean suddenly having a meltdown and Joe targeting everyone), so don't feel so great about it. Post-merge didn't really matter, cause the previous tribes didn't matter that much. You did play coat-tails, but I agree that your social game was good.

Questions:

Why do you think I should vote for you and make you brake the "American curse" and do you expect Americans to feel so great and brag about it, cause that's what I'm worying about. Yes, luck is very common in this game. Everyone who made it far had luck work in their favor at least twice. Every little thing that happens in this game must be taken into account. Everyone in this game rode coattails at some point. Either for strategic purposes, or for just wanting a free pass to get farther. Also, if you claim that I rode coattails, just know that I had no choice. I was a huge target because I was the last of my tribe. People wanted me out badly, and if I didn't find some close allies to stick with, I would be out in a heartbeat. It's like being a winner in a returning player's season. You have no choice. And I only rode coattails for a little bit, then people who thought I was riding them were terribly mistaken.

For the next question, I think that you should vote for me because I played an honorable game. I always tried my hardest, and all thirty-nine days I kept my head in the game. Not once did this game leave my mind. I was determined to do well, and hopefully win.

And about the "American curse", it's silliness. I doubt anyone's going to brag about it if it's broken. I actually think people would brag more if an American didn't win, and they'd say things like "Haha, The curse continues!". It's really offensive.
