"This first question is for both of you, and it is as simple as this: Why do I deserve to win this season more than you?"

- You deserved it more that I do because you were an underdog for most of the game, you won challenges and kept yourself safe as long as you possibly could. You never backed down and fought until the bitter end.

"Nothing more past this point will be addressed to you both, so let’s start this off on the shorter note... Tatianna, you claimed timing was key to your game, yet most of the moves made were either blatantly obvious that anyone could have done, not to mention others plainly weren't even your moves. What part of that justifies you to be worthy of my vote to win?"

- I deserve the vote because my gameplay was more unorthodox and it worked. I set out to make a plan as to how I'd play, and I did exactly what I intended to do. I believe that if my moves were as obvious and weren't mine to begin with, then I wouldn't be here. I may not be considered the best of the season, but I definitely played a game worthy of the win. There's nothing wrong with playing under-the-radar.

"Additionally, literally every person sat on this jury has said they didn't want to see Tyler in the end, why would you bring a risk such as that to the end, when you have even confessed that you pretty much voted us all out, don't you have any concerns of a bitter jury?"

- I brought Tyler to the end because it was the smartest move to make. I knew that I was gonna have a tough time against the jury because of cases like this. Some jurors are going to be bitter and if I went up against a more likeable player or someone that made more strategic moves than I did, I would get butchered in a final vote.

- I'm definitely concerned about a bitter jury, but it's a risk to make because I have faith in you guys to vote for who played the best game of the two. This was a move I needed to make to have a better chance, as I believe Tyler isn't deserving of a win and shouldn't be rewarded for essentially coasting all the way to the end. I stomped on toes, I slit throats, and I backstabbed over and over again, but that's the game of Survivor. It's never personal as it's strictly gameplay, and Rhiannon, I hope that you can see why I did what I did. You know just as well as I do that taking Tyler to the end was a much smarter move.
