Board Thread:Season 27 - Alsace-Lorraine/@comment-26347699-20150726221302

Dear members of the jury.

Sorry for being so late, had to work all day and I wanted to record my speech but apparently my laptop doesn’t want me to win.

I’m gonna try to explain to you guys why I think I deserve the title of Sole Survivor over Max and Navneet and what I have done to get me here. I will try to keep it short and sweet. I’m gonna be as straight up and honest as I can be in my speech and my answers to your questions.

I decided to make 3 categories, which I think are the most important in Survivor: Strategy, Challenges and Social game. I’m gonna explain you guys how I used those three assets to get me to the Final 3 and why I was better at those three things than Max and Navneet.



Strategy: During the Anarchy stage I talked to everyone and made bonds with people, both personal and strategic bonds. I vaguely knew Max from a previous Dutch game and he, Amber and I bonded very quickly over being Dutch. We made a tight alliance which would become my main alliance for this game: Cheese, Cows & Clog’n’Roll. I was in several alliances, thanks to which I was not in danger during the pre-swap tribal phase. I knew Kevin was targeting me and the other Dutchies but he was the only was who was really threatening to my game for a long time. At the swap I found out about the alliance between Danny (hi bae), Joshua and Simon and wanted to break that up. I was the one coming up with the name Danny to Max, Mantis, Kevin and Navneet. Max was really close with Danny and I wanted me to be his bestie, not him. Before the merge I took out Kevin, who was the one being very vocal about the Dutchies being extremely dangerous, which he was right about. After the merge I was always in charge of the vote. I was the one coming up with the names Gaston and Yannick, I was the one getting the numbers together to take Jack out after he targeted me, I was the one saving both Max and Navneet on multiple ocassions. Both of them have considered voting me out but never pulled it off. The person who I voted for always went home – which wasn’t the case for Max and Navneet - and I was always the one in charge and deciding who went home. So I think my strategic game, which in my opinion is the most important part of the game, was the best. If you guys want me to explain what I did strategically step by step I will but I don’t think reading a 89217 word opening speech is fun nor helpful.



Challenges: I always worked my ass off in the challenges. Even when I didn’t have much time or had other things going on, I still stayed up whole nights to be able to submit an at least decent score. And my effort payed off, I won the most individual challenges and therefore I also think I have played a better physical game than Max and Navneet.



Social game: I feel like I have made genuine personal bonds with you guys, but that is up to you to judge. Those bonds sure helped me strategically, but were also genuine. The conversations I had with you guys were sincere except for my lies about the vote. You all saw the real Jesper and I hope I’ll stay in contact with all of you after this game, and I’m not just saying that to get your votes.



All of those three combined, I think I have played the best game and therefore deserve the title of Sole Survivor of Survivor: Alsace-Lorraine. I’m looking forward to your speeches and will answer your questions in complete honesty.



Good luck Max and Navneet in the Final Tribal Council and good luck jury with your decision. Thank you all for playing with me and may the best man win. J  </ac_metadata>
