Hey jurors!
Let me begin this speech by saying sorry for all the game moves that I've done that caused most of you sitting on the jury. I admit I've played the villain role during this game, but my intention has never been personal. I genuinely enjoy talking about games and non-games stuffs with all of you. All I can say is that it is NOT personal and has been strictly game.

That being said, if you still want to keep it personal, it is understandable and you may skip my whole entire speech.

Most of you perceived me as a weak player or a floater, while in actuality I am the one playing the hardest since the beginning of this game. Coming into the game, I'm at a disadvantage because clearly most of you joined with your close(st) friends. I know some of you from another group games: Michelle (who I work against), Matte (who unfortunately I cannot save), Deshon (who voted me out twice even we're on an alliance), and Gonzalo (group game host). But I don't think it is as strong as a Deshon and Darrius or Ben and Michelle, etc. So I spend my time building genuine relationship with most of you individually that I hope will last beyond this game. Throughout the game, I keep communicating with most of you even about non-game stuffs, once again not because I want to use you or anything, but I really enjoy talking with you guys.
Whether you like it or not, I have outwitted, outplayed, and outlast all of you. I can say that some of my moves have been so subtle that most of you might not recognize. Firstly, I tried to convince people that there are people with strong outside friendship that could easily join forces and become a majority alliance. This information has shaped how some of you played. Secondly, during the swapped tribe, my tribe voted for Mike. However, I received information that Deshon might be voted out or at least received 2 votes. So, I threw a vote on Joey during that round to prevent Deshon being the easy vote the upcoming round. Deshon can easily be the merge boot at that point if I don't throw a vote for Joey. Once again, I don't think any of you notice this. Thirdly, I have never felt like I'm going to go home throughout the entire game. I only received votes on Final 5 when the historical vote count didn't matter anymore. Lastly, I modeled my game for a Final 2 ending. I have different plans for a Final 3 setting or a Final 2 setting. This leads to my flashy moves during Final 6 onwards..
Final 7 - Michelle, I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you even when I'm tempted to. I love you outside this game, I really value our friendship. However, if I let you stay with Ben, you guys will always pick each other over me. So I hope you understand why I can't save you.
Final 6 - During this round, I already planned my road to Final Tribal Council, which I originally plan on sitting with Darrius. Joey is the first casualty because basically this is the last round that I can take a shot at either Deshon or Joey and shaped the game the way I wanted. I ended up voting out Joey because Deshon and Darrius are an obvious pair, it is in my best interest to keep a pair so that Matte and Ben won't flip.
Final 5 - I need Deshon gone because him and Darrius will always choose each other over me. So at some point they will also take a shot at me, I'd rather do it first.
Final 4 - This is the risk I take that most of you are afraid of. I am willing to risk bringing Matte further eventhough he has won the most competitions. Matte has been so loyal to me that I know him staying will only benefit me and him. I feel realy horrible to cut you, Matte. I am really sorry, you are truly one of the nicest here Matte. If anything, I believe you are entitled to be mad at me 1000% but instead you have been so supportive and kind. I know we have our differences, but I always cherish our friendship. Tell me if you need anything, I'll be willing to help. I know I am not online during the challenge, but I have discussed with Ben that at some point we have to take out Matte. I applaud Ben for his immunity win this round! Good job Benny!! <3
Another thing to point out is at this point all 3 remaining players are going to take me to Final 2. If I don't do the move against Joey and Deshon, I'm in a much worse situation.
Final 3 - I won my second immunity and it is the most crucial. Final 7 up to Final 4 has been according to plan, I only need to vote out Ben to get my ideal Final 2. However, I figured this jury has been so bitter that I have slim chance against both remaining players. At the end I chose Ben just so that if I lose, I'm still going to be excited for the winner. So Ben, I really think you're going to win because nobody wants to respect the game and take it personal. But know that I'm extremely happy and proud of you!!! <3
Lastly, my intention is never to attack any of you personally, nor to trashtalk other players. I always keep it strictly game. I played one hell of a game. You can blame poor jury management or anything, but the fact is YOU GUYS ARE SLAYED. I am proud of my game, winning would only be a bonus. And if you guys think BB22 sucks, I prevent this game from being a copy of it. But well, Congrats Ben!*hugs* :)
