First of all i'd like to congratulate my other two finalists, and say good luck, may the best man win.
Instead of a traditional opening statement id like to share a summary of my game, so you can see for yourselves how garret played the game, and fought from the bottom to get to this point.
Coming into this game, the very first tribal council, my name was thrown out there as a target and I voted with the minority. From that point on I knew this was going to be a rough game. I used my social connections to help me swift with ease to the merge. Then the game really begun. I established many factions of trust, which allowed me to eliminate both Nifty (who I didn't know where his head was at) and Nels (Who targeted me at the tribal). Then things hit rock bottom. The power shifted and I found myself public enemy number 1. Colin went home and everyone was after my head. I knew if I could just survive this vote I could use it to turn the majority against each other. I used my Golden Buff and skated into the top 6. But then I realized nothing I had done had changed anything. Until Ikah revealed he had the other half of the super idol. After using the idol as bait to secure an alliance with him and Liam, I used it to keep myself alive, and sail into the final 5. Will Z and I were after each other, and I knew I had to strike, because the last 2 tribals he attempted to vote me out, but I used my social and strategic game to survive. 3 strikes, and Will Z was out. Ikah Liam and I made final 4, and after winning final immunity I find myself here, with these two guys. I truly believe I fought the hardest out of all three of us in the final 3. I trusted in my allies, I never voted against Colin and JT, my original alliance, nor against Ikah, I played a loyal game, but could only play it so much because I was public enemy number 1.
For Liam and Ikah: You two were attached by the hip this entire game and every time you ‘controlled’ the votes there seemed to always be a scatter (4-2-1-1) (3-1-1). So I would say you controlling the game is a stretch. You two played this game as a pair. Where as I played this game for me and for me only, which is how you play survivor. Each and every week I struggled to survive because I was a target. Ikah and Liam were never a target because there was never any need for them to be a target. Besides being 2 votes in one, which was the only reason to target them.
-Same as Ikah I hate doing this-
I plead my case and leave you with this: I never stopped fighting. Always made the best moves for me, and played the game with 100% (Because 110% is literally impossible XD)
