Hello jurors, I doubt this will be read but if it is, thanks for reading it.

My strategy coming into this game was to score high in challenges and make close allies. The problem with my game is that I barely carried out this strategy as I did quite well in tribe challenges but failed to live up to having a good social game and then at the merge failed to win a single immunity when I got caught up in school work. I messed around when I shouldn't have, when I should have been truly getting to know people more.

This game is all about having a strategic game and sadly, I obviously didn't live up to the name. In this game there are people that sit back and watch things happen and then there are people that put effort and yearn for successful gameplay, to shorten things down, the rat and the snake. Chris was the snake and I was the rat who was only used, in the sense that Chris had me for my vote and goat-like traits.

I didn't do what I wanted to do in this game, if I had just put effort into this game, I could have done something to affect it. Sadly, I'm merely the person who struggled to find a move to make, all because I was so caught up in loyalty. I was unlikeable because I acted like somebody obsessed with weed and at times rarely spoke to people. This strategy is a strategy used to get to the end not win. If it was this game would be called: Floater.

Although, I'm happy to have made it far, I do regret not taking a risk and not being able to do that final immunity challenge. It's sad to think that I wanted to so something and there were so many free votes sitting around to use. I feel that I had a few close bonds with people, and with them, we could have done something. I could have at least helped them go farther.

I was aware of what was going on but I never used that information for my game, I lived up to the name of the rat, as I made myself unlikable and did what Chris asked me to do, most of the time. The goar/rat strategy is a terrible strategy in this game. You may get to the end and earn 100k but the true winner is the person who took risks. I sincerely apologize to everyone for my stupidity ruining your game.

I'm not expecting a jury vote, I just want to state what I did wrong and hopefully be questioned.
