Thought it would’ve been Ty

But it wasn’t his match

Took some shots at Sydney

Now I look back and laugh

Even almost went packing

I did not so I’m thankful

Wish I could have saved Szymon

Cause he is an angel.

One called me “Queen”

One tried to fool me

One called me “Goat”

But I’ve had immunity

I know I’m worthy

Some might not believe me

So look what I’ve done

I’m in final three

And for that I say

Thank you, next.

I know what a lot of you are thinking. “She’s a goat”, “She doesn’t deserve to win”, “Everyone else was robbed”. Well I’m here to prove you wrong.

I came into this game expecting to be a target, not because I am good at challenges, not because I am good at strategy, but because I have won before. I am never looked at as a threat in these games, and personally, I think that is a huge asset. The only people smart enough to come for me were those that know my history, those that know I can win.

My strategy is simple. Align with the strong ones and make them think you’re loyal to a fault. I knew that I could hide behind people who have bigger personalities, better game play, and giant targets on their backs. Some may call this the goat method. I call it smart. It has now gotten me to yet another FTC.

I was a part of some very important tribal councils. When it truly mattered, I was in the majority. The first time I was in jeopardy of leaving was because I told the wrong person some info and it blew up in my face. But my strategy of keeping my enemies close was proven to work in this circumstance. I told a couple of people I was in danger and next thing I knew a crew of 8 people, including myself, was rallied together to keep me safe. Why you ask? Because they were led to believe that I should stay in this game, that I deserved to stay in this game, and that I was no threat to them. That of course, was where they were wrong. That happened week after week when people would try to throw my name out, they ended up being the either voted out themselves, or blindsided at tribal. I mean I survived the week I SELF VOTED, that’s insane. Every time my name was thrown out, every time I was voted for, I had people in my corner to vote out someone else. When the merge tribe was split, and we had a double tribal council I won immunity to keep myself safe. Yes, a huge part of this was because the challenge was changed to something else, but a win’s a win in my books. With the way the tribe was split Audrey and I, but mostly Audrey, were in trouble. I knew that if she won, it would probably be me getting voted out, so I did what I had to, and I won. After that happened, I knew that I had to make some new alliances. I started being a bit more social and tried to make relationships with those that I didn’t really know yet. At final 6 I took a chance and aligned myself with Jamie. This was extremely important because I knew she wanted to win and had a feeling she would eventually come for me. But she slipped up. Jamie made the mistake of telling me she did not want to break any promises she made in this game, so I made her promise me a final three deal. And look where I am. I again was targeted every tribal because Jamie was immune. I survived each tribal because of the deals that I made, and because I was trusted by two people: Jamie and Jessica.

Maybe they thought I was a goat, maybe they thought it would be easy to beat me. But they forgot one big detail. I know how to win.

I truly honestly believe that I am your sole survivor. I have fought to be here every single tribal. I have made deals that kept me safe, I have played an under the radar game while being known as a winner.

I am not going to beg for votes or bash my fellow competitors because that’s not quite my style. But I will say that if you vote for me, we will make history. Not only will I be the first female to win a returnee season. But I will be the first female to win TWICE – and on a season full of strong, powerful, amazing women I think that would be the best possible outcome.

Thanks for listening, can’t for you to drag me with your speeches.
