Hello Jurors,
I’m going to start off by saying that this game has been a graveyard of friendships. This entire series is a graveyard of friendships. Dating all the way back to Socotra. In Socotra, I played a very cutthroat like game, as I did here, but the difference between both gameplays is that, in Socotra, I made moves without being guarded on all sides. I also made moves too early in the game.
This season, I played a very cutthroat game as well, but I was guarded. And being guarded in this game means everything. I made sure to build my barricades of human beings during the pre-merge stage and as we all know, I was banned during 3/4ths of it so it gave me plenty of time to socialize my barricades into position.
I tried to use me being banned as a way to gain pity and gaining pity meant that I got to stay a little while longer. As Stephen once said, “Shes a sack-of-potatoes” and I REALLY was a sack-of-potatoes, but I was a sack that was extremely social and friendly. I knew that during my time of being banned, I wasn’t going to be making episode titles and I probably wasn’t being talked about in the viewers lounge and I was okay with that. Because while the villains were playing infinite idols at their tribals and the heroes were whipping out the enemy, I made sure to fade into the background and make as little decisions as possible for the group of six. (Ethan, JB, Ashlyn, Nick, Iris and myself). This allowed me to become nearly invisible and it WORKED because the last time I received a vote was during the SECOND tribal council that the heroes attended.
So after gaining the power of invisibility, I broke free from my banned and made it to the merge. Here; Ashlyn, Iris and myself joined allegiance with Ollie, LeQuisha and Dana , but this quickly ended when Dana blackmailed the alliance which led to LeQuisha and Ollie getting blindsided by Dana’s vote out. I quickly gained damage control and Ollie and I worked together to try to get Ashlyn out of the game.
And from here it was like playing chess and putting every piece in the right square:
- Ollie set up a 2-2-2 vote plan to get rid of Ethan. I used this opportunity to set up a three way feud between Ashlyn, Ethan and Ollie. (the Alphas) I knew that I needed them out if I wanted any chance at winning. (Assuming that this is all-stars and all-stars typically vote the ruthless ones at FTC and crowning Sole Survivor)
- I told Ethan about the plan that Ollie had set up. Ethan told Ashlyn that Ollie was tying the votes for her too, which made her change her vote for LeQuisha. I told Ollie that Ash was voting LeQuisha which ended the 2-2-2 plan and the trio feud had started. Ash was sent home.
-Ollie followed with Ethan mad on this prior potential blindside.
-Ethan found his third idol, making him safe and sending a possible prospective winner, JB.
- I made sure that Ethan didn't win Immunity by spamming against him in the plus and minus challenge. Making him lose and sending him home. (the end of

-LeQuisha followed after Ethan since I promised Iris and Nick my loyalty after JB left.
I had too many friends in this cast which made it INEVITABLE to not vote out my friends. And I am sorry for any feelings I did hurt, but it's a game :(
Thank you for the amazing season everyone. No hard feelings in my side and I'm prepared to answer any of your questions. *Curtsys and sits*
