To begin, I'd like to congratulate both of you for making it to the end. It was a long path and a lot of people to go through to get to where you are now. It's difficult to get through, beat certain odds, face purple rocks as many times as we did (lol), and systematically vote people out while trying to gain their votes as jury members.

Both of you played vastly different games. Alf, you played a very social game and lied at some point to nearly everyone you played with. Natalie, while you say you played a game that involved a strategy of 'staying under the radar', that appears to almost be a way of covering the fact you weren't very social, nor did you perform well in challenges. Being under the radar is one thing, being off the map is another.

I would like to address both of your playing styles since asking you both the same question wouldn't really provide well rounded answers...

Alf: More out of curiosity than anything, do you feel that the way you played with deception is more detrimental in the end with regard to you winning than Natalie's style of avoidance? Also, do you think you would receive the most votes to win by being here with Natalie than you would receive if you were in the final two with either myself, Jody, or Ryan?

Natalie: While we exchanged small talk every now and then, you never really brought up the game or made much effort to secure a solid position to get to the end. While you say you were purposely sitting back and not riding along with someone else, in the end you did pretty much ride through the game. While you were making your assessments of players I can't say you were acting on much of anything. That said, I'm stuck in a little bit of a problem here. Even after Alf's first betrayal, I was willing to work with him and he continued to lie and betray his way around the game. On the other hand, you basically made little effort to get this far (call it what you will).. So I suppose my question for you would be this: Who would you vote to win if neither you or Alf went to the end? And why?

I've mostly made up my mind on who I will vote to win the game. I am not entirely at this point however. I look forward to hearing your responses, and again, congrats.
