Hey Yannick. I'd love to adress some of the things ou've brought up.

Firstly, yes, I guess I was a floater. I guess it just comes with my type of personality. I'll be the first to admit I'm not the most sociable person in the world, and that I have issues to work out. I go into ORG's always trying to do something different. One time, it's being the chaos-man, other times it's being completely loyal to an allience. I guess where I ended up this time was as the floater. I think my mindset was "keep your options open", but in the end that only made me not really do anything, I'll admit.

I think the reason you were voted off was because of that as well. Again, I thought that with voting you off I'd have access to everyone and maybe could do something later on, since you were, at that point, the outlier. I want to make one thing clear: I never saw the allience of me, Jesper and Amber as an Anti-American allience. Maybe I used that term once, joking, but that's not how I saw it. I saw it as a Dutch Allience strictly.

The reason I didn't tell anyone about the idol was, I guess getting back to that point, me wanting to keep my options open. I knew about the two idols, and I definitely knew that there was a good chance my new allience with Jimmy and Jack was going to explode. I kept the idols to myself so that, if something did go wrong, I could just shout "HEY GUYS THEY HAVE IDOLS THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT" and take the target off of me for the time being. In hindsight, that's what I should've done immediately, and not keep it in my back pocket, you are absolutely right about that.

About your last point: Yes, I am here right now, 100% thanks to Jesper. I won't deny that one bit. If it weren't for him I'd be in my dreaded 5th place again, judging 3 others. I'll say it again, for anyone that'll bother to listen:

I

AM

HERE

SOLELY

BECAUSE

OF

JESPER

There. Yes, I am here because of the relationship between him and me, I won't deny that one bit. Is it the way I would've chosen? Hell no, but at that point in the game, what choice did I have? Jesper wanted me to go to the F3 with him, what was I gonna say, "no"? I think very few people would deny that offer.

However, I do feel that I did play an allround solid game. I DID win two immunities that I worked my butt off to get, over harsh competitors. I DID have good relations with everyone in the game. And I think the biggest thing: I WAS THE ONE PERSON THAT STARTED AN UPRISING AND TRIED TO TAKE JESPER DOWN. Now that plan failed, spectacularly in fact, but I did show that I was WILLING to make a move, and that I was WILLING to play the game and get ahead. When it blew up on me, what other choice did I have to be the bait, to be the one people wanted gone? Again, I won't deny I'm here 100% because of Jesper, but that doesn't mean I also played my own game.

Anymore questions please shoot them my way :)
