Hello Final 3 members. I’d like to say that it is good to see you here in the finals, but alas, it is not. I personally do not feel like any of you played an overly dominant game, and won’t win this season in a landslide.

Now, I have always been a man who believes that a strong speech can help a shitty game play, and a shitty speech can ruin a great gameplay. That being said, I’m not even going to bother with Yap at this point. I like you as a person, but shit man, what did you do this game? That is a rhetorical question by the way. The one thing you did in this game that made me think about voting you, was straight up telling me that you were voting for me. Then you ruined it by being super cocky about it. You didn’t even submit 3/5 of the damned final challenge, then had the gall to straight up say that Sam and Ricky will have your back. This was your chance to prove that you deserved to be here at the end, and not dragged to the end, but alas, you were okay with being dragged here, and becoming the whipping boy. And in Cali’s jury question, your “roast” of me by saying that me getting 4th was a “mercy kill” and that the jury would have treated me worse than you. Now I agree that I would have had a difficult time convincing people to vote for me, but I had a much better chance than you at receiving votes. You literally play the exact same game every time you play. You ride the middle, then pick a side, and when it is time to take someone out and gain the power, you never do, and are okay with riding the coat tails of everyone right to the end, where you promptly get shat on. As I said earlier, I like you as a person, but as a Survivor player, you are infuriatingly simple. And for that reason, you will not be receiving my vote, and more than likely, nobodies vote this game.

On to Sam.

Sam, you played a very well rounded game. You found an idol, tried to hide it for too long, then sort of hid behind the idol. It was a smart thing to do this game, but throughout the game, your constant paranoia was just too much. You state that your relationships with people in this game are onpe thing that kept you in the game. I do agree, you had a very strong social game, but you never had trust in your alliance. Multiple times, you would freak out as votes were being read, or you would be paranoid until someone else went. You showed no faith that your alliances would stick through, even though we were on call, or there was no point in sending you home that round. Yes, I understand being paranoid while people are saying your name, but to the people who weren’t even mentioning your name, you were paranoid to. It was aggravating to always have to calm you down when you thought you were unsafe, even though we all knew you were, or sending you our votes so you know that we didn’t vote for you. It was annoying to say the least. But, all in all, you played a very well rounded game that I can respect.

Ricky,

Drunk, drunk, drunk… Ricky.

You played a very well rounded game as well. You were a challenge threat, you had an idol, you are always strategic, you had to turn on your allies multiple times, and yet here you are at the end. But I do have a problem with some of the things you mentioned in your speech and in multiple jury answers. You state that you “made” me play my Gary Hawkins idol. I was going to play it regardless. I hadn’t played it yet, because it would give people less time to strategize. You didn’t “convince” me to vote Tyler R. I knew he was a threat, but I wasn’t wanting to vote him out, but when I only had a 5 minute window to finish strategy and vote, and there was no way to save him, I didn’t want to ruffle feathers. I never told you that I would tell you everything in this game. I talked strategy with you, and sometimes told you things I knew. Mostly about Sam, and really nothing else. I decided to tell you and Sam about Jessy and Molly’s plan, because Mihai was being shady and I didn’t think he would follow through. He didn’t, and Molly would have went if I didn’t tell you about Jessy. We got rid of Jessy’s idol, and that is what I wanted to happen. But, the thing that aggravates me the most, is you saying that you had an “alliance” with me, to where I wouldn’t vote you out at the end. It wasn’t so much an alliance as much of an agreement. We agreed that if Sam lost, she would be voted out, but I highly doubt that would have been the case. You should have just been straight up with me, and tell me that if I didn’t win immunity, I would go home. You knew I had to work, and there was no way I could do the challenge well enough to win. But regardless, what pissed me off the most, is that I “didn’t vote for you because we were aligned.”  That had absolutely nothing to do with it. I wanted the people at the end to be the most deserving people to win the season. I felt that I played a stronger game than Yap did, and I should have been at the end instead of him. Instead, you lied to me, and what probably would have been a guaranteed vote from me, is now up in the air. By choosing to keep Yap over me at the end, makes me believe that you believe he deserves to be there more than me, even though you constantly said that I deserved to be there.

Needless to say, I have millions of questions, but I don’t really want to have you answer them, frankly because I don’t care what you all have to say about any of them.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman",serif">What I want you to do, is convince ME to vote for you. I don’t care about your strategies, or how much time you put into the season, because, I’m not sure if you noticed, I don’t think it is quite fair, that people who have more free time get the advantage over people who work 60+ hours a week, but alas, there isn’t anything I can do about that.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman",serif">So, convince ME. Nobody else. Just me. Use whatever information you know about me to your advantage, and convince me to give you my vote to win.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman",serif">Go ahead. Dazzle me
