WHAT I NEED FROM YOU, DOMONIQUE, ARE YOUR THOUGHT PROCESSES during these events.


 * When I heard about the rigging accusations, I was honestly pissed off. I dedicated a lot of time and effort into this game. The only help I was getting was from my alliances and from myself, no one else. I would stay up for hours on end (some days I didn't go to sleep until 8-9am) talking to people, doing challenges, strategizing, etc. For example in the FIC, I slept a total of 6 hours in two days trying to win that challenge. So my thought process was being angry and then trying my damnest to prove people wrong and prove to them I am a good player by my own merits and with no assistance.

1. IDOL PLAY DURING THE JAMIE BOOT.


 * You are right, this was supposed to be a straight Ethan vote. However, like I said in other speeches (Jamie's speech & in my vote for me speech I believe), I looked in the comments and saw Jamie revealing information about Ethan and his challenge history. My paranoia came into play because I always thought you and Jamie were close & she may have had a certain amount of influence over you and I thought you had the idol and could potentially blindside one of us (Brittany mostly because her name was thrown out there as a target), which is why I told Ricky to play his idol on Brittany and I played mine on myself. It was nothing but my paranoia coming into play this round.

2. AUCTION ITEMS.


 * I had said from the beginning to you, Topaz, Ricky and Brittany, in PM and in our alliance chat, that it's not smart for all of us to bet on the uncovered items especially when we know people would go for idol clues, advantages in challenges, etc. I said from the beginning "I think someone should bid on uncovered items. What if we missed something good because we were too scared to take the risk?" Topaz said no because of what happened to him in Indonesia auction. Later on, I spoke to you and you asked me what I was going to bid for and I thought I told you I was going to randomize my choices by random.org, which I did (screenshots will be posted below the paragraph) and that's how I got those auction items.





3. IDOL PLAY NUMBER 2.


 * Brittany bought the idol clues from the auction. After that, I made a list of the orange teams pre-Micronesia, divided it up between myself, Brittany and Ricky and we began guessing for the idol. I happened to find it first (the answer was Osten Taylor). I had made plans to play my orb that tribal because we knew after blindsiding Topaz and you getting upset (which is understandable like I told you that same day), that you would flip on us. I had a choice to use my idol or use my orb. My paranoia kicked in and decided to use my idol instead because the orb only canceled out 2 votes and I wanted to be completely safe. Also below will be screenshots of me sending my idol guesses to Kevin and Kevin only.

As you can see, all my guesses went to Kevin, not Tyler.

'''Let us say Ricky is proclaimed the ultimate sole Survivor of Survivor Rome: Fans vs Favorites 2. Why would you think this happened? What made majority of the jury members vote for him, and not you?'''


 * I think he could possibly win over me because he does have that ultimate redemption story of coming back from Redemption Colosseum and working his way to the end by getting into a tight alliance and winning the most challenges out of the 3 of us. I think he could also win over me because the accusations of rigging may still ring true in people's heads and apparently, according to some of the jurors, I am the most hated out of the three, so they could vote him because they don't particularly care for me because they feel like I'm a bitch lol
