Oh no I would definitely like to explain that I do not believe that was the dominant mastermind who "did everything" this season, I believe I was a pretty powerful player but no that's not my true opinion so yes I would definitely like to clear that up thank you.

I believe that throughout the season, a lot of the decisions made were ones that I particularly favored and benefited my game a ton. I don't ever think that "Oh I was a mastermind and did it all by myself." You, Alexa, Emile, and Vanne were very frequently relied on for votes because you guys were the 4 people I trusted the most with voting to how you guys said you would. Decisions like getting out Priscilla, I believe was ultimately my move, because like I mentioned, nobody wanted to do that at first and I had to convince others to vote for her and take the risk. Some of the other decisions throughout the game, everyone was fine and okay doing, and when I said that all of the plans this game worked out perfectly, its because I believe they benefitted my game, like none of my allies went home unless I thought it was smart at that time if that makes sense. Those plans and moves happened because of the trust I put into my alliance members sticking true to how they said they were voting. With that, I meant that what I wanted to happen, happened, and that I was maneuvering through with game with the correct people and correct bonds. I wouldn't be at the Final 2 if it wasn't for my alliance members sticking true to their word for the most part, so my speech is not meant to discredit you and others work at all. I want to take ownership in that I made sure that the people who were voted off was always a smart decision for my position, but that doesn't mean I take complete ownership of every single vote made.

And about me calling you a liar, I solely meant that about Alexa's idol. You were the second closest alliance member to me (first being Alexa) and I was genuine when I first said I wanted us to be in the Final 3. I stated that you were lying about Alexa's idol because I specifically asked you "Did you know anything about Alexa's idol" and you stated you knew nothing about it. That is right there, a lie, and despite me thinking you of being one of my closest allies, I believed you valued Alexa as an ally more than you valued me.

You did a lot for my game, and I don't want you to feel like I completely disregarded you as an ally. You are the sole reason why I'm here this far, because you flipped to the alliance I was apart of and I believe we progressed each other further. However, by flipping at the right time I thought that you were going to be a huge jury threat. You got along with everyone very well AND you made what I personally consider to be the biggest and most game changing move all season. I don't want you to feel disrespected because you were a huge vote for me, but I ultimately felt like I wasn't going to be able to win against you and that's why I made the move when I did. I hope you can respect my reasoning for getting you out, and understand that you were a genuine ally and The Queens alliance (You, Alexa, and I) dominated this season together, but at the end of the day I wanted to be the Sole Survivor.
