"I asked Tyler about the little moves he made that he thinks paid off and helped him get to the end.  I want to ask you the same question.  I'll be honest for me there was a little thing you did at final 7 that I think paid off huge for you.  I'm still not sure if you meant to do that or if it was just luck and you have no idea what I'm talking about."

The little things paid off me greatly. Things that didn't seem to have much effect actually helped me take control of the game. By being funny, being open to conversation, I was able to insert myself into alliances and become close with people. I collect their thoughts, their plans, and I was able to see who liked who, which people were close, who was being targeted, etc. Gathering up all this knowledge helped me to kill it at the merge. I gained a lot of power through this and when I wanted to use that power, I managed to get what I wanted in every single vote.

I was responsible for Alietta's downfall, I put the target on Johnny and made him out to be a potential threat to win, I turned on Rhiannon, I turned on Brandon, I saved myself and then won final immunity and casted the sole vote to eliminate Brett.

I want the jury to view me along with the likes of All-Stars Amber Brkich, Cirie Fields, Danielle Reyes and Jun Song from Big Brother. I played my cards right and laid down a foundation for when I would dominate later on. It was a risk because people would view me as a floater, as somebody that was weak, but hopefully they can put themselves in my shoes and see that what I did was planned from the beginning and was a damn good play.

To answer one of your questions, I've decided to go with 2A because you know I love gifs lol.

Wouter:



- I chose this gif because like Cirie, Wouter was a powerful player that may have been a little underestimated. He was had a hint of mystery about him that reminded me of her game.

- I also associated these two because like Cirie in Micronesia, Wouter was voted over something he had no control over. It wasn't anything that he did wrong, it was the nature of surviving in the game.

Alietta:



- This gif describes Alietta to a T because she was a firecracker who has the biggest balls in this game. She was not afraid to make alliances, she wasn't afraid to win challenges, she had no fear.

- Another reason I associated this gif with her is because of the danger. She was very dangerous and it showed in her game.

Johnny:



- I picked this one for Johnny because he was a little sneaky and he was on the road to starting something very early on, but got caught red-handed (pun intended). Like the cat in the gif, he backed away slowly and was able to recover from being in the bottom.

- The other reason I chose this was because even though we see him backing away, he's able to hide it. The cat used its cuteness, while Johnny used his charisma and likability. He was very smart and it showed.

Rhiannon:



- Rhiannon is the Sarah Connor os Svalbard. Just like Sarah, she was a bad-ass, take no shit type of girl. She was another one with no fear.

- This gif works perfectly for her because despite having the odds against, despite getting vote after vote at tribal, she never stopped fighting. She went out with a bang, and because of that is very deserving of this comparison.

Brandon:



- Lol, I used this for Brandon because like Puss in Boots, he was a strong character and was able to hide himself as well. Puss used his eyes, while Brandon used his fun side and showed that he was a very sweet person.

- I also used this because Puss like to use catnip, and we all know Brandon like to spark it up #420blazeit

Thomas:



- Thomas, I used this gif because you are hysterical. I wasn't bothered if you were trying to manipulate me, because I absolutely loved talking to you. I was glad to be aligned with you because you were so fun.

- I also used this gif because you were very shady, and you could hide an insult with a smile. Which to be totally honest, I adored.

Brett:



- This gif is Brett. He was the ultimate boss battle in a long game. He dominated challenges, he killed at the social and strategic game. He was the powerhouse of this game. Just like Van Helsing (in this movie), he had an aura of confidence and security that worked for him and knew what he was doing the entire time.

- I applied this because like the movie Van Helsing, Brett made a fatal mistake in the end. He was certain that everything was gonna go his way in the end game, until I threw a wrench in the plan and ended up taking him out.
