Aston

Fresh off my elimination, I wasn’t much of an Aston fan, and didn’t have much of a desire to vote for you. However, the more I thought about it, and after reading some of the other jury speeches, I believe that you may not be this, “terribly evil, horrendous player” that you may be perceived to be. While you’re game was not perfect, you had flaws, but the other 2 finalists did as well. I do feel a bit bad that you’re getting so much backlash, I don’t believe in pity votes, and if I’m going to vote for you, I’m voting for you’re gameplay. I believe the term “deserving” is misused in the survivor community. “Oh, he didn’t deserve to win” or “She deserved that immunity”. I think everyone deserves what they are given in this game, and that a more suitable term would be “earn”. Did you earn you’re position, and do you think you have earned the title of sole survivor over your fellow castaways and why?

Did you earn your position?

First of I sure did earn my position. I was targeted on numerous occasions, yet I used my knowledge to turn the votes off my back, or simply targeted the person targeting me. "Kill or be killed" And I chose to kill, when I knew I was being targeted I got on to it and I made sure that it wasn't me going home that tribal council. I also trusted yet never fully trusted someone, Keep your ally's close but your enemy's closer, that's what I did, until the point I realized my ally's were truly my enemy's, So everyone in the game was carefully Observed, I also got here by learning of the past alliance named "The Secret Society". If I hadn't learnt about them I wouldn't be here, And how did I learn about them? By myself, that's right, I added pieces up that led me to the alliance, and that is when I fully lost trust in all members in the game, I knew not to talk about voting of there own, final 6, it was there whole alliance accept me and you, So Kudos to you and I. Yet I schemed a plan to take out their own, saving myself and you, that's when I messaged you saying it's just me and you. So we took out Miggy, If it wasn't Miggy voted out then, it would of been me, so every move I did ultimately led up to this.

Do you think you deserve the title over your fellow Castaways and Why?

I feel I deserve it more because I was alone, while they had ally's to go to, the only person I really trusted for most of the game really was playing me, and in an act of survival I began to play him as well, Amir may of pulled a big move and taken Alejandro out, but that was an act of elimination, not an act of Survival, Aaron also played an under the radar game, but had Ally's such as Amir to stick by his side, when I really had not much to go to. I Out Witted these finalists, As they believed they had me with them to. I also played an honest game, I never lied for the hell of it, I lied strictly for strategic purposes, That message about me and you to the end was no lie, because I did truly feel we were the ones out casted, I survived Survivor, and I played a proud game. Thank you.
