'''Ricky, if sam wouldn't have won the final immunity challenge, would you have voted her out? '''

Believe it or not this is a loaded question. I entered the final four knowing very well that I had put myself in a really awesome situation. Throughout the past in my ORG Experience I have built a reputation of being extremely loyal. That reputation is completely true but I knew coming into this game if I even wanted a chance to win I needed to bank on that. So when usually I would want to do all the right things and be a huge team player, I wasn't going to do that this game. This game it was about my success.

When we were doing the final immunity challenge I decided if Sam fights hard enough, that I would kind of allow myself to sit back and let the three of them figure out how much they wanted this. In the Trolol competition I could have beat Sam, and she knows this. We talked about it. I however did think I had done enough to beat her throughout the challenge and I thought for a second I was going to win. I was wrong. I wanted to win the challenge but I wanted Sam to think I was trying to help her do well so that if she was to win at the Tribal Council she wouldn't try hard enough to turn the votes on me.

I had a deal with Kevin and Yap that if Sam didn't win the immunity, we would be voting her out. My odds with Kevin and Yap would probably be better and I had the luxury of knowing that both Yap and Kevin if they couldn't win had told me they wanted me too. However Sam and I had the same kind of situation going, and we had an alliance with Yap in the early merge.

The simple answer is that if Sam hadn't won immunity she probably would not be sitting here. I am actually happy however though that I didn't need to make that decision. There is something about how bad she wanted this that made me want to go up against her in the end. If I am going to sit here and fight for the title there will be something extremely rewarding if I was to win with having gone against her.

I never came to play this game for it to be easy, I wanted to accomplish things. So right now I am HAPPY to be sitting against her, because she is fighting for it, I just always felt like I fought harder.

So yeah, if she wasn't immune, she would probably be in Kevin's spot. I just wasn't extremely going to be proud of that move nor did I really want to make it. I hope my honesty in this can help you see that the question its self isn't black and white.
