I'd like to start off thanking Casey, Joan, Jessie, and all the members of the Jury for making this such a great season. This game has been crazy with many ups and downs, which I'm surprised to have survived, but I got it all together during the merge and picked the correct targets and made the right moves and alliances to be in the final 2. I know I haven't been the most likable person in this game, but admitting one's flaws is to accept those flaws and wear it as armor so others can't hurt you with it. I also hope you know any offensive things I've said to anyone during this game was either me being horribly sarcastic, or me trying to purposely be unlikeable to be confused with a non-strategic number who wasn't a threat. However, despite that persona I wanted to claim, I believe I have a right to the title of Sole Survivor. Whether or not I truly deserve it isn't up to me though, so I will try to make this short and sweet. *    Though my pre-merge game wasn't great and was only improved by multiple Exile Island saves, I've traveled a long road from being the only female on a failing tribe (sorry Lucky you know it's true), had to fight for myself in a fire making challenge, continued to survive despite being moved into a tribe of enemies, and then survived after making a huge risk mutinying into Riau with a bunch of players I didn't know. While others idled during pre-merge just hoping to make it to jury I was taking risks for self preservation, which in the end paid off. With that I am open to hearing all the jury's statements and questions, and I will answer them honestly. I will own all I've done in this game, and I will also own all my mistakes. Every one of you on the jury deserved to be here, and would have a fighting chance and great claim if you were sitting here, so honesty is what I owe all of you.  
 * I've survived despite having a huge target on my back having pre-game relations with Casey from another community and her being my 'cousin', and somehow (both to luck and a bit of strategy) we're both sitting before you today
 * When I got to the merge I controlled myself and made the change from the paranoid frantic player of the pre-merge to someone who could calculate and observe the other players, a skill I used to my advantage, and a skill that got me here.
 * Despite times in the game where I was getting into fights and making accusations (Sorry Jake Tommy and Lucky) I always stood up for myself.  I never in this game would have allowed myself to roll over and die.
 * I've played with loyalty by never breaking a promise to those I wanted to work with.  Dennis, our time together as a duo wanting to end Casey's game was short, but it wasn't me who backstabbed you that vote. I had no idea they were targetting you.  Then there is Sarah. Sarah, Casey and I would lose easily if one of us were sitting next to you, but despite you being a huge threat I made you promises and I kept those promises, which made for an excellent final 3!  You were one of the nicest and sincere people in the game, which made me feel horrible for not talking to you earlier.
