I think your comparison to my game and Ken's is a pretty good one. I absolutely agree with the relationship between our challenge strengths (although mine were more less for individual immunity than ken was, but still). I was loyal throughout the entire game to the people I gave my word to right up until the end, which is also what Ken did (although I did it one round sooner than Ken, and I wasn't immune once from Final 6 on wards, where as Ken always ways, so I had to rely on social and strategic bonds to get me to the Final 3, and I had to survive a vote after turning on one of my closest allies, you, where as once he did it, he was pleading his case).
I had an idol, he had the legacy advantage thanks to Jessica, so it is a very fair comparison.
I think where I am different from Ken, is Ken's motivation for turning on David was to provide a better life for his daughter. My motivation for turning on you, as selfish as it is, was for me and me alone. This was all of our last chances to win this series, so the decision to turn on you was about giving myself better odds to win the game for myself.
You and I have already spoken about our feelings on the matter, so I won't go into much detail there, but you know why I had to flip, because like David, you would've won this game with how incredible you played. In a season where it is literally our last chance, we can't be playing for 2nd or 3rd. It was a risk, but it was necessary for me, because had I not done that, and stuck with you and Andy, then your perception of Nattie, would be how the jury would view me - a tag along.
I shared the same reasoning with Alec and Nattie as to why I flipped, that I shared to you when you asked me for a reason why I did it, so they knew ahead of time, with one vote to change it if they wanted, where you gave the reasoning that the one would always win (whether it was Nattie or Alec against a 2 person combo of Me/You/Andy, or Me, You, or Andy against Alec and Nattie). They both knew my motivation for it, and why I wanted to go to the end with them after you said that over yourself and Andy, yet Alec chose to remain loyal to Nattie, even though it was clear Alec would win in a F3 of Alec/Andy/Nattie in a landslide, and Nattie chose to remain loyal to Alec and the deals Nat made with me as well in the last few rounds of the game.
They had the choice if they wanted to take me out and come here with Andy, who they both could've had a much better shot against, yet they chose to take me, because they doubted I'd stand any chance. Yet here we are now at Final Tribal, and just going based off what questions/comments have been made so far by the jury, it appears this is a fight between Alec and I for the win, and Alec and Nattie did both flat out say to me when it was time to vote at Final 4, they both didn't truly buy that I'd get 0 votes for having been voted out twice, and both listed off multiple names of people they felt would vote for me out of friendship, yet they didn't take me out even though they were given the opportunity to do so.
That to me, shows that they either underestimated my odds of winning, or they truly believed me when I continuously insisted that I'd stand no chance, like I had been since the Final 6 and I came back into the game for a second time - either of which to me, is foolish and quite possibly a mistake on their parts.
As for who I represent other than Ken, I'm not quite sure. There hasn't been a CBS player who has made it to the end of the game after returning to it twice. But if you look at South Pacific, it is hard to argue that Ozzy would've lost that season had he not lost Final Immunity to Sophie. So in a sense, I think it could be fair to compare me to South Pacific Ozzy, as I did return twice like him, was told I had lots of friends on the jury by several of my opponents, like Ozzy had, and I was strong in challenges, like Ozzy (and they were all won on a form of Redemption Island wh
