Hi Sam,

1. I accepted your apology on both levels. Like I said during the Rites of Passage, I know how it feels like to make a big mistake and hurt someone. During that point in my life, I felt like my whole world was crumbling and I don't want anyone to feel that way because the only way to describe it was hell. And I accepted your apology on a personal level because one of the reasons why I played this game was to make friends and not enemies. I'd rather focus my energy on positive things than to dwell on something that I know will continuously hurt me.

As for accepting it on a gameplay level, it wasn't for my own gameplay but for everyone's especially yours. The incident lowered the morale of everyone and I believe that by accepting your apology, the other players, the hosts and even the spectators will remember this season for all the right reasons. I also didn't want the incident to affect your gameplay because it would just be wrong if you left the game because of that mistake. That's why I didn't agree when some players were suggesting that you voluntarily quit because of that.

2. I gave him the idols because in both incidents when the idol were played I was safe. So by giving the idols to Drew, I knew that it would make sure that his loyalty is 100% with me and wouldn't do something fishy like voting me out during F4 - which worked.

3. The reason why I decided to take Drew to the end is that I feel he's a worthy competitor. If I win the title of Sole Survivor similar to what Boston Rob did in Redemption Island, I wouldn't feel proud of that accomplishment. I want to prove to everyone that I deserve the title more than Drew and not just some hand me down prize. Hence, on my right is a worthy opponent and on the other hand, Jon.

4. I think I scored an A+, Drew got an A and Jon an F.

5. I think I shouldn't win because I brought Jon instead of someone more deserving of the Final 3 seat.

Jon should win because he made a wise decision of picking the right connections (ie. Drewby).

Drew should win because I think his strategic, social and challenge performances were at par with mine.
