 So here we are, the final two and now the power shifts to the jury. This game has been crazy and unpredictable at times, it has also been a lot of hard work, but it has been mostly fun, with the challenges, strategies and the social aspect of it. I love this game, I love Survivor.



 Coming into the game, I thought I would need to rely 100% on my social and strategic play as I didn’t think I would be among the best in challenges, which I guess is a bit ironic for obvious reasons. I ended up relying a lot on winning the challenges near the end, I knew very well that people were seeing me as the one to beat and even though I was promised I wouldn’t be voted out, I never knew for sure if everyone would stick with that.



 My social game was more me just loving talking to people and being a social person than game necessarily, but I did always keep in mind that knowing as many people as possible was good for my game. I knew that I would think about my game over any friendships I made, so I was trying to prepare myself to deal with having to vote out friends which was hard when it came down to it, but it had to be done.



 Strategically I was willing to do pretty much anything to get to the end, I wanted to avoid lying as much as possible, but sometimes lies has to be told or deals has to be broken, it is all a part of the game and is never ever personal from my side.



 Though I had a path planned at the merge, things didn’t go the way I wanted, thanks to someone always messing it up in the early days of the merge. Ryan/Natalie and Aly when Nick left, whoever switched their vote in the tie between Jesse and Natalie (was it you Jessy? I think it was you since you really wanted rocks. But it might have been Domca) and then Domca when Jessy got voted out. I lost my whole original tribe in the early merge and that made me feel a bit alone, even though I had other friends too.



 But even if the people I had planned on going to the end with left, I always had a plan B just in case, so I knew how to keep going without my game being ruined by my people leaving. I started working with Ryan and Natalie, I made a tight alliance with Domca, knowing I needed her vote if I wanted to go through with anything I wanted, I regret not doing it sooner because then Jessy might have stayed. I made new alliances with Jesse and Jody near the end and flip flopped a bit Rob Cesternino style and I feel it worked out well.



 So, as you all know, I worked hard and I did what I had to do to get here. I outwitted, outplayed and outlasted in the name of Survivor. So if you feel I deserve it, vote for me, if not then that is fine too. Thank you everyone for being a part of this amazing experience, I am very happy with how this game went down no matter what the final result is like.



 Good luck to Natalie you know I love you.
