Gets ready for the FTC with Rhiannon...



Is on her way to the FTC dreaming about what it would be like to make it to the end of Svalbard...



Hello, fellow castaways. Congratulations on making it to the end of Survivor: Svalbard. It has truly been a great experience to share with the both of you. Before I carry on, I would like to say that I am not a bitter person. There was no bad blood between me and anyone since I was voted *cough* robbed *cough* out.

One of you betrayed me, and one of you didn't listen to me. I think you both played two very different games, and there is no doubt in my mind that one of you deserves it 1000% more than the other. However, I would like to give you both the opportunity to explain yourselves.

With that being said, here is my response and question for you both.

TATIANNA



Where do I begin. You were the first person I aligned with in this game, and we played very closely...until you stabbed me hard in the back. I understand your move completely and I'm going to tell you now it was smart on your behalf because there was a very small chance I would of taken you to the end. With that being said, I am very glad you made the final. You are a female and I couldn't be more proud.

After leaving the game, I can tell you were one of the best players from the vote that Wouter went. I am confident that you played an amazing game from that point and I don't really need an explanation for that.

However, your game prior to Wouter's vote off hasn't been clear to me at all, and has been described as almost non-existent. People say that I carried you through the pre-jury stages whilst you sat back and had a pretty ride. Whether your intention was to look weak or not, it didn't come across as smart either because it could be said you did nothing, whereas some players played their arses off from the start until their elimination.

QUESTION: Summarize your strategic moves for me. Explain one big move you made, prior to the Wouter-vote, which reflects your strong, overall, gameplay that was purely YOUR decision alone.

TYLER



Hello, Tyler. Before I move onto the game aspect...I have something to get off my chest.

Before I begin, I'm just going to say that you have never done anything personally to me that was nasty or anything like that, and I'm not going to be nasty to you because you didn't treat me that way and I am not someone who is going to horrible to anyone because of something they have said.

Two things you have said has really annoyed me. Firstly, (this is nothing major) you complained about the fact two seasons went on at the same time. In the past, more than two seasons have gone at once. The hosts on Retribution were in no way being disrespectful towards our season and they should be given nothing but applaud for the efforts they're putting in to making that season as amazing as it can be. Secondly, this one really p*ssed me off. You complained about the hosts practically rigging the game so that Tatianna wins. You don't know who the production were rooting for and if they were, it was because she was likeable and played a great game. The fact that your speech was great until you mentioned you thought the season was rigged for Tatianna. It looks really petty and bringing in the opinions of other people has just made me ignore it. I'm here to listen to your gameplay, not complete and utter b*llshit.

Back to the point of this speech, your game was very much a mess. Putting it in the nicest way possible. I'll be friends with you after this experience but I'm being brutally honest, I don't see you getting a vote from me to win because I think all you did was be inactive for a part of it (whilst others were here and played with their hearts) and cause drama throughout the rest.

I see the moves you made after post-merge were strategic, but you don't seem to have done enough to earn the title of Sole Survivor so I would want to see a little bit more about what you did over the whole game.

QUESTION: Why do you deserve to be sat in the F2 over any of us jurors who played the game with our hearts and give me a ten reasons why your gameplay was stronger than Tatianna's.

With that being said, good luck to the pair of you. I would like to thank the hosts for giving me the chance to play on a phenomenal season and well done on your incredible hosting and efforts towards entertaining me and everyone else.

Another huge thank you to the people who supported me and my gameplay throughout the season. If it wasn't winning the season, I was overwhelmed with the mostly positive response to the way I played. Your support meant the world to me and hopefully one day, it will be me in that final getting my second chance.

Now, there is only one thing to do. Crown the winner of Survivor: Svalbard.
