Hey Gerard! Thank you for those kind words!

First of all, I am aware that I am viewed as overly nice. That’s the way I played this game in Hawaii and it worked for me. Being nice in this game is just as much of a strategy as is lying: it covers up your real intentions and allows you to take out several people. A nice face is what I kept on for the entire season, but the truth is that I was already lying much more than in Hawaii during the first few days of this season: for example telling Ash that I trusted her and Hunter that I wanted to work with him.

The biggest lie I told you was at the Tribal Council when you left the game. You approached me with the idea of voting out Taylor. I knew that losing a big ally at that stage would  hurt me in a rather major way. When Uli told you about me, Adam and Taylor working together, I made it seem as if it was one alliance of many (cause most people had deals with everyone at that point), not a major alliance which it really was.

This followed by the biggest lie I told you. I said that you were safe with us, all the while knowing that this wasn’t true since Andrei and Taylor had already talked to me and Adam about voting you out. I lied to you, saying that I wouldn’t do anything against you, but in the end I along with the others voted for you. Being true really is one of the biggest lies in Survivor, as in the end we all have to betray some people.
