Hey guys, first of all I wanted to say thank you to you all because without you this would have never happened, but let's get on to business.

Pre-Swap:

Okay I want to say that as this being my first ORG I had no idea in what I got myself into, so the first thing I did was get myself in a comfortable position and during the Pre-merge i was not only able to have an alliance, I was able to create the alliance consisting of Dean, Isabel and Rob, in the first challenge we were sooo behind the other three tribes, so I decided to grab this team and make it work, I not only did not sleep that night, I literally was there telling them what character name they had to put, and that put me in a leadership position for at least that fragment of the game.

When we lost the second challenge I was able to convince the other ones that Markos was our liability and that he needed to go and that happened, after that our tribe never lost a challenge and the five remaining Brahma reached the swap.

Swap:

And then the swap came out, and I knew that some people in my team called me the leader, so I thought I need to have the control without them all thinking that I had it, I saw that our tribe were 3 Brahmas, 3 Shivas and 1 Vishnu, And as I knew that the original Vishnu would have the control in the New Brahma Our best move was joining the Shivas and vote out AJ, even tho I thought at the beginning to side with AJ, but clearly if we were merging soon he was gonna join the Vishnus so the best for me at that point was joining the Shivas and vote AJ so we did and it worked, and after that we won the immunity and Jonathan quitted and the we merged.

Well I need to say that at this point I already knew that Ronel found me a threat since the beginning and he told Rob that he wanted to use me as a shield, so what did I decided to do? I made everyone in Shiva think that I didn't trust him and that we were not close at all, which is true we were friends but I didn't trust him, so I planted the seed that Ronel was clearly someone not to trust just in case.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family: "HelveticaNeue";mso-bidi-font-family:"HelveticaNeue";color:#2C2C2C; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">At the merge we had the numbers it were 6 against 5 so yeah we sent Dean to the temple last week because we "trusted" him but as soon as I talked with him I knew that he trusted the other side so I needed to stay with Isabel, Rob and the Shivas, and we did, so when Ronel won immunity something Catherine came to me and we decided to make a pact "You tell me when you are getting votes and I tell you" At this point people had already leaked that the vote was Catherine, so I tried to save Catherine, and convince my side to vote Felicia instead (Sorry, but we did not talk until after this vote ;-;), because I wanted Catherine on my side, and I wanted my side to be saved avoiding an idol, but when Danielle told me that she had already voted for Catherine there was nothing left to do but pray that an idol was not going to be played, but it was and Danielle was eliminated.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family: "HelveticaNeue";mso-bidi-font-family:"HelveticaNeue";color:#2C2C2C; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">After thisI told Catherine that I tried to save her (Which was true) and our pact continued. At this point it was 5 against 5 so we needed to get someone to flip and we talked to Ronel but we all saw how slit Ronel's mind was between flipping or not so I decided to stop trying (Even tho Rob kept doing it I don't know why) and change the vote towards him but I didn't know how. Some hours later here comes Rob telling me about Blake having a plan about voting Ronel (Which is what I wanted) but with some of the other side members, and I was like how are we gonna make them vote with us? So apparently the deal was "we vote for Ronel now but after this Jo goes" so Blake accepted (apparently) And Ronel went home (Not with me not thinking that Blake was playing a big game, he clearly was a threat).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"HelveticaNeue"; mso-bidi-font-family:"HelveticaNeue";color:#2C2C2C;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">After this at final 9 Blake plan was that he and the new Brahma were voting for Jo and us 4 (Rob, Isabel and Jo) vote for Ryan and use the double vote of Rob at final 8, The double vote of Rob needed to be flushed some way but i didn't knew how, so I went with them and voted for Ryan because Jo was not trustworthy to them and not doing it was suicide.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"HelveticaNeue"; mso-bidi-font-family:"HelveticaNeue";color:#2C2C2C;mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> After Felicia was medevaced, which was so sad because no one deserve that, Ryan won the reward and I won the immunity, at that point I was nervous about Ryan getting and idol so the only choice on that case was Dean (Because I was working with Catherine) So it was easy to convince my side to do it because Dean was playing great too, so well that happened.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"HelveticaNeue"; mso-bidi-font-family:"HelveticaNeue";color:#2C2C2C;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Ahh  final 6, this was a point when I knew I needed to eliminate Blake, because he was the biggest threat so I went with Isabel and convinced her to do it and when Rob wanted to vote Ryan I just knew that for my game that was not the best So I convinces him that Blake needed to go even if he was not agree with that, so I made Catherine to vote Ryan and Blake was already voting for Ryan so I made Rob use his double vote even tho he clearly did not need to and I got it flushed, which was perfect, but I let all think that Rob did it because I did not want to be targeted and it worked.

<p class="MsoNormal">At final 5 Ryan was gonna go but he won immunity and the side of Ryan and Catherine thought I was at the bottom of my alliance while I was at the top, so I went with Rob and Issi because it was the right thing for my game and even if I wanted to save Cat I knew I could not do it.

<p class="MsoNormal">At final 4 I knew I wanted that immunity and in the mid of the challenge I had a date with my dentist at 1pm so I was not gonna win, so I knew that Ryan was desperate, and I also knew that Rob was hiding his challenge skills that was just obvious so he created the idea of giving up if I tie the vote, I was gonna do it anyways because Rob was hiding something, so I accepted and won that challenge, this vote was gonna be a 2-2 or a 3-1 it depend of Issy wanting to vote Rob or not, but My move was killed by Issy getting medevaced rip!!! And I was right! Rob won that challenge and I just had one thing to do, convincing Rob that Ryan was the biggest threat when I was the real threat, how? Well Ryan can be considered the underdog and he played a hard game, that was enough for me to stay, and be here with a solid game.

<p class="MsoNormal">Man, I played hard, never stopped strategizing, I had the determination to win 3 endurances challenges, I did not sleep somedays playing, but I am a determined person and I know I am here because of that.

<p class="MsoNormal">Clearly my strategy of letting Rob being targeted worked, because I am here doing the moves that Ryan considered the "biggest" and that Rob was against, and not receiving a single vote! That means that my strategy worked.

<p class="MsoNormal">I had the time of my life playing an ORG for the first time, and I think I played hard and great for being the first time, If you have any question about my game or something I did I will be happy to answer it as best and honest that can so Ask.

<p class="MsoNormal">With that thank you for reading this and I really really would appreciate if you vote for me, and if you have your doubts I will definitely fight for your vote, because that is what've done so far be determined and willed to do anything to win this game. <ac_metadata title="Vote for Miguel!!"> </ac_metadata>
