Hey, I'm really sorry for not replying since then. I was actually burnt out from writing all of those replies and I spent about an hour on writing a reply to you, and the page somehow refreshed and I lost everything and just completely gave up for the day. But 2 days later I know I still need to give you a response. I'm just going to do my best to remember what I wrote 2 days earlier.

Anyway, I would like to thank you so much for such a detailed speech. I actually find it impressive and quite enjoyable to read.

I just would like to apologize for appearing overconfident. If anything, I am completely opposite of it, like I am really excited and nervous to be here in the finals, and I just dont want to lost my opportunity at my chance to win.

I also came to realize that my social game isn't as good as I thought it was. This is my first ORG where I was working full time, not just full time, but overtime as well. It's very overwhelming and it definitely took a toll on my potential to have a good social game.

I'm also very bad at the way I word things. I don't know if anybody told the jury, but I know a couple of people knows that English isn't my first language. I usually say things but mean something else. Like for example:

"If you had said instead that you prevented yourself from being a physical threat by throwing challenges, that would have made your case even stronger. But instead, you’re saying that you have a strong physical game despite throwing a bunch of challenges."

I actually meant the former, not the latter. That was my intentional pitch when it came up to my head while writing my opening speech. My lack of strong foundation in the English language also can easily rub people the wrong way such as sugarcoating things like flawlessly, etc.

Also I would like to make one thing clear. I don't recall saying that I thought Hesh was gonna destroy everyone in the jury but if I did, then oops, I probably misworded something.

I actually believe that Ry had a stronger chance to win in the final 3 over Hesh, and that's literally the main reason why I attempted to vote out Ry over Hesh.

Why should I win sole survivor? I was completely dedicated to this game. I had a strong strategic game, led some blindsides, set up a solid resume compared to the other two. I believe I can be a good representation of this season. If you ask majority of the jury which one of us finalist mainly cause their downfall, my name would come up more often than others. All of those stuff led to me being here in the finals, and I'm proud of how I played and I would respect whatever outcome will come from this season. Thank you, and I'm sorry we didn't get a really good chance to get to know each others.
