First I would like to say thank you to the hosts for setting up this lovely game that we all got to be apart of. Now let's begin with game play. I wish I had gotten the chance to be more active and got to truly show how competitive I can be, but since I had to deal with so many life problems, a lot of the time it just didn't turn out in my favor. But I simply had to adapt a game playing style that put me in great positions to where I didn't need to win immunity challenges to know I was safe. I aligned myself and played a game where I tried to be everyone's friend and got people to trust me. (For the most part)I did what I could socially to surround myself with bigger targets to ensure that I would be sitting here today. If I felt an alliance was going to sink, I got to another ship and strategically played it out from there, positioning myself in the best spot possible. I played a much more manipulative game then you may think. I got a majority of people to trust me, and went along with any plans that would further me in this game. I positioned myself with people that I knew could keep me safe. Many of you may have thought of me as a"goat" but trust me when I say I always knew what was going on with people giving me information throughout the game, and used that to put a target on someone else's back. My true intentions going through the game was to backstab people but have a smile on mine, and their face while doing it, trying to fool others into a false sense of security. (Although it didn't happen everytime.) Each tribal my vote went to people who would ruin my chances of standing here in the final 3. I was always thinking ahead of the game and how my odds with each person would stack as the game went along further, and soon voted off the threats to my game. I had to rely majorly on my social game to keep me throughout the season. I won when I had to, and I kept people who would think taking me would be their best interest moving forward. I tried to force that upon many people to keep myself safe for the vote. It always comes down to a numbers game, so convincing people or having others convince people for me was the way to get numbers throughout the game so tribal always went in my favor. During the merge a switch went off in me. I knew I wasn't going to win being the girl who I originally planned to be and she skipped to end with everyone. Sadly I had to change and vote off people I would have loved to have around, and a lot of you know who you are and always made me smile on awful days. But keeping those people wouldn't have kept me in this game as far as I am here at this point. Last, I apoligize for all the reading but I need to address the jury and why I did what I did. Casper, I loved talking to you and I want to thank you for being apart of the reason my switch came on when you were voted out. Ci'ere, You're elimination was one of my early stages of trying to betray someone so yours hurt me. Although looking when it was happening, you played both sides very well and had a great social game, and I was threatened quite a bit which is why I voted for you. Charlie, Voting for you made me sad until I realized you were trying to do the exact same thing. At this point there were 2 alliances and I had to look at my best interest and dwindling down your alliance's numbers was the best move at the time. Josh, Since you had voted for me previously, voting for you wasn't as hard as it would have been but, you were creating waves and exposing people and this is the point of where I developed my playstyle of always putting targets on others backs. But I was in a seperate alliances and needed to have a say in the other alliance so voting you was to keep shade off me in case you were think I should go because I was playing multiple sides, and Kostas and Matt aka my shields/distractions at the time, and make the other 3 girls trust me, by voting you. Alex, You're elimination was to give me a better shot at winning immunity if I was in trouble. Nothing personal but you were a challenge beast! Brittany, So from here on out I made my plan to eliminate the next 3 big threats to my game, Brittany, Kostas, and Matt. Because you were close with the other 2 girls it was apparent that I was not in your best interest. So voting for you made sure Chelsea would trust me and I could get Faith's trust in the next plan since she was betrayed by Chelsea. Kostas, Now I originally planned to get a vote for Matt going here, but I realized there was no way I could have beat you in the final 4 immunity challenge, and as much as it pained me since you were my closest ally, it just was a bad game decision on my part to not vote such as big threat like yourself in the game, so Me, Matt, and Chelsea voted for you. This was also apart of my plan to ask Faith to vote off Matt this next tribal. Matt, I had to win this immunity challenge to make sure that voting you out was a go for sure. You probably would have won if you were in the final 3, so Me and Chelsea talked about voting you out and making you feel safe. Since Faith had been betrayed I talked to her to make sure she would be voting Matt. Also Matt I am so sorry I didn't tell you that you were being voted off. I feel if I did, you would have gotten Faith to vote Chelsea and then you would have tied the vote and even possibly made the final 3 with a tiebreaker or something. This is my first org ever. I am extremely proud of myself that I made the final 3, although my game was not flawless, I know I put so much effort into planning this game. I was dealt my cards and played with them well, and got me here.
