Hey there mr Yousef! I can’t believe its been a whole 2/3 years since I don’t even remember yelling at you! I wouldn’t have predicted ourselves to be in this situation, but here we are, so let’s make the best of it lmao. Thank you for the apology at the start of your speech, I feel like if anything the one who deserves an apology is you, because I also had these preconceived notions of you heading into the game that I didn’t know what to do with them, but we shattered them, and the game worked itself out and we really got together during those rounds that we desperately needed each other for. What you were saying about the Elmo vote is true, I was wanting him out because I wanted an immunity threat gone at that tribal, but It wasn’t gaslighting by me saying that you had a deal with them. When we were talking, you seemed to be deadest on only voting for 2/3 people on the other “side”, and I don’t think either of us were planning to vote out anyone from the grasshoppers at this point. So we both had really firm stances on what we wanted to do that round, and neither of us wanted to budge, and I think that’s a good point of our games not being able to line here. You wanting to keep Elmo just made me feel threatened. You’re right about me not being true in the alliance at that point, because I had made the “Penguin People” this round. I felt like I had the best working relationship with Andrea/Jake at that point, and I felt like they were easier for me to beat. Your gut was right about me being check-out of the grasshoppers, because I was. With what we wanted in the game at that point, I think it would literally would have been impossible for us to come to a decision that we both were happy about that round. I’m sorry that I let our relationship faulter when I started winning immunities, it wasn’t because I felt safe and didn’t care, I pinky fucking promise you that wasn’t the case, our endgame plans just drifted apart.

About the final 6 Su vote, I can see why you think me voting him out at that spot wasn’t in my best interests, but I argue why it was. That tribal was gonna come down to a coin flip. I knew I was immune, You were immune, Andrea was probably going to be immune, so It was down to Karsten, Su, or Jake. I didn’t know you were going to idol Karsten that round, but I knew my idol, your idol, and the merge idol were bound to show up this vote. I thought Su was the least likely player to have an idol used on him, just because of how I felt everyone in the game was connected up to this point, and I was right. And just in case something went wrong, I thought up of the idea for my idol play condition this round to Idol Jake if Su had an idol played on him, because I knew that you wouldn’t vote Andrea out at this vote, and if a move was going to be made, it would have been a blindside on Jake at that tribal council. Between Karsten/Jake/Su, I did, and STILL do believe that he was the biggest possible challenge threat for me moving forward because we have very different skill sets. The things Jake/Karsten/Myself are good at in challenges have a lot of overlap, but overall I felt like I could beat them, and I PROVED that my assessment was right because I’m sitting here today. It wasn’t JUST for challenges that I voted out Su, the # of idols came into my head, and I wanted to have a backup plan at this vote just in case you or someone else wanted to make a big play and idol Su, cuz then I would be able to stop a plan like that from happening, and I feel like me being able to stop a blindside would have been good for my personal game.

You were saying about how you had some annoyances with my game, and trust me, I get what you are saying *glares at Evan*. So legit no hard feelings there. Im glad that we worked together when we did, we both know we needed someone to talk… especially when everyone decided to go mute in the game for a bit there... If you decide to vote for Andrea, or one of Jake or Myself (after seeing your post on Andrea’s speech), I’ll respect the hell out of it no matter what. But I would REALLY prefer if you voted for me, what can I say? I’m selfish :P

Praise be to Neda.
