So I guess this could possibly be my last confessional...and damn what a whirlwind this game has been. I’ve almost went home several times, people have talked about me almost all game, and somehow against all odds I’m still sitting here in the final 6 and really would would’ve thunk it?
I’ve made moves, made a lot of people pissed off at me, but at the end of the day everything that I have done has been to advance myself in this game and give myself the best chance to win that I could. I mean I literally voted out two very good friends of mine that I’ve known for years prior to this game...so I think that shows that I came here to play this game for myself and not anyone else.
Now, tonight is gonna be hard again because I’m about to vote someone I met in this game that has truly had a big impact on me not only in the game itself, but personally too. Mari (Brody♥️) is amazing..he really is such a great person and I have enjoyed getting to know him over the course of this game. He has been so sweet to me and we’ve talked nonstop every day for a few weeks now and I so happy with the relationship we have developed. But..I’ve been protecting him all game. Will has been trying to vote for Mari ever since the final 10 and I have swayed the target away from him sooo many times. I have been so loyal to him, but I’m not loyal to a fault. I know that he has a great chance to win this game and I came here to play and make the moves that I think I need to make to be able to win.
Now I know that Will is a comp beast and could easily win out if I don’t take him out right now..but I would rather take my chances sitting next to Will than sitting next to Brody. If I sat next to ANYONE left other than Brody, I could feel confident in the fact that I know I played a better game. But I feel like Brody is the only other play left that really has played a game of the caliber that I have been able to play so far.
Rn my ideal bootlist would be Mari, Deshon, then Will. But I know the likelihood that i can beat Will in final immunity is very slim.. so if he were to win I would want to sit next to Will/Simon because I think I could get Dakota’s jury vote, but I think Simon would vote for Will because I know they’ve been closer throughout. I’m in a tricky spot, but not an impossible spot.
I’m just hoping that the jury isn’t sooo bitter against me because I know I really defied a lot of odds to even make it to this point so if I can maneuver myself to the end I hope they can respect it. But even if they don’t, I can sit confidently and say that I truly know I did that this season. I’ve been a villain I know, but I’m a calculated villain. All the moves I’ve made have been to get me to this point. I’m hoping me voting out Tmac shows people just how willing I was to make moves and take risks, and that no moves I’ve made this season have been for personal reasons.
Either way, thank you Ian (and Ethan, kinda;) )!!! This has been a really fun season and I’ve had A LOT of ups and downs but at the end of the day I know I’ve done everything I possibly could to give myself the best chance to win possible. ♥️
