Well if I must.

First off, I have not overstated my game in the slightest. I've said that I was in a lot of the talks, scheming, and stuff like that. Unfortunately stuff like that doesn't really come out to concrete proof. And you can call me a goat all you like, our perceptions will always be different.

While I do admit that my social game was lacking, it's quite the opposite in terms of physical and strategic. In terms of strategy, I decided to be realistic about what I could pull off in this game. To play a reckless game by constantly flipping is like jumping without a net, and that's something I couldn't do with my life. So I adapted my strategy. I decided to go the loyalty route, and that's the main reason that brought me here.

To reiterate what I said in my opening speech, I did a damn great job at the competitions I could have competed in. I beat you and Mihai in the dancing portion of the first challenge, won the tiebreaker for the Defend the Wicket, stayed up nearly 20 hours claiming items with Tyler P., Joan, Lukas, Cali, and Ridgeway, threw a challenge in order to secure a win for the next one, and didn't face tribal again until the merge. Although I didn't win a challenge during the merge, if you were to look at the results, I got pretty damn close in some.

Yes the flirting was weird and awkward, but that's because we're awkward in our own way. I mean, could you not tell my sarcasm when I was "flirting with you"? To me it was always a joke, I don't see why you would think I took it seriously. You don't have to take my word for it, but whatever.

How can you assume I don't care about the game I played? Just like everyone else in this game, I invested a lot of hours. And the reason I didn't decide to vote Ricky out, because it's not like I didn't think about the option, is because I decided to stick with my guns. An honest and loyal game.
