Hi Jurors, I know some of you are disappointed to see me here but tbh I think I played a great game and I hope some are glad to see me here. I will break it down the best way I can and of course answer any questions you have. First I want to stay I played a very loyal and trustworthy game, never flipping and staying true to my alliances. Starting the game on day 1, I immediately started an alliance that I thought would be solid. I was the potential vote for the first tribal , I did message a few to stay and I was lucky they kept me. I do play hard and I think I have shown that. Many seen me as a weak player because I wanted to leave at merge, my reasoning for wanting to leave at Merge was because I was told that my previous group game was leaked to others in the game, so I wanted to leave on my own and save myself hours and hours of trying to play a game that I would not win. But then when I stayed I played harder.
One thing that many do not know is that the alliance I spoke of on day 1 included TJ, and we spoke every day during this game, we did not say what the other side was doing as we were on opposite sides but we did try to keep each other safe, if one of our names came up, we would bring up another player that was on the other side and still not jeopardizing our alliances as we were both still trying to get one of them out, so it did not hurt our tribe. We are the Forbidden F2. He knew I had an idol and I knew of his extra vote before anyone else. The one time I was fully unsure of votes was Ross, I had been told earlier Ben and then Ross, Ben was sure it was him that was getting the votes, I had asked TJ if he was using his extra vote and he said no, so at that point all I could was hope I gave my idol to the right person, I trusted Ben and he was a very smart player and was glad to have him on my side. But this made the game a little stressful at times but as I said before I am loyal to a fault and sometimes it hurts me but I want everyone to know everything.
I gained trust of many people and knew a lot of advantages and secrets and not once did I repeat any of it to anyone, I wanted to be a trusted player. During the game, I found the first merah idol and then immediately got moved to a new tribe, I was sad but there was a chance to find another idol which I found but to late. I have been called a sheep in this game, and what I don't understand is that the person calling me a sheep was one who wanted me to do out tribe puzzle because I was fast at puzzles, which I did win for our tribe and he was able to find an idol because of it and also told me I would win against him in the end until I did not flip to save him. I fought hard for the tribes I was on, I stayed up til 3 am during the rainbow trying to get the most tags, our tribe won first. So I don't feel I was a sheep at all. A lot of decision were group efforts and I spoke to many one on one as well, some I tried convincing but most I just met during this game and don't know that I speak the truth, even if it hurts me. I always had my tribe / and alliance side best interest and did my best to help us as a group and also keep my first alliance get to the end. You will read more in personal tributes.
Jayden - Unfortunately we never talked during the game, I have seen you around tengaged and was looking forward to talking to you but we were always on separate tribes and you were voted out at merge in which I did not vote for you. Maybe sometime we will play a game together, I think we have mutual friends and would like to get to know you too
Akshay - OMG was so sad you left, I had messaged you so many times to vote because I knew your vote was needed, I wanted you to stay so bad, you are such a sweetheart and had such great game play. I am glad I met you and got to play with you. Btw, you know I didn't vote you either haha
Zach - Someone I met in this game that I think will be a friend and someone that I will continue to talk to, we had discussions and you have such a big heart and felt bad and I get that because I am the same way, but I had to make decisions my allies or them, so I stuck to it as many times I felt awful. I had told Ben I would use my Idol to save you but we really thought we had the votes, had Blake not played his idol you would have stayed and you were definitely needed on our side, you were strategic and let us all know your thoughts, I think we worked well as a group and I am glad to have met you!!
Ross - The person that I felt I could have maybe saved had I known more than I did, I knew votes were going for Ben at first and then heard right before tribal that it was maybe to you, I was not sure who was getting the votes. I did have an idol and Ben was convinced it was him that was getting the votes, so as I said I did things not only for me but for our group, I gave him the idol in hopes that we would finally get out one of our targets, that was a fail. You were such an amazing and strateic player and I wish you would have stayed and played with us more. Again I think I will talk to you in the future as well.
Blake - Well we both know where our relationship is at. I told you that orginally I thought I would be working with you guys but then you al stopped talking to me and made me aware I was not part of your group, so when others started talking to me, I found a place that actually wanted me, maybe for a number, I don't know but it made me want to play the game harder because I had more of a reason to play besides for myself. I told you the whole game it wasn't anything personal when we voted you for you over and over again, you were a huge threat, your social skills are mad, you know what you are doing for sure. You made me feel so bad for voting you until you realized I wasn't going to flip and it went from " you can beat me, to you are a sheep" The night before we talked for a long time and I thought ok, this is someone I think I would be friends with, I know where you stand but just so you know it was not personal until you made it personal.
Rodrigo - You wont believe it but I said it and I really meant voting you out was hard but I knew you would just come after us and I would be gone. I did not know you before the game just heard of you, I think I talked to you the least because I felt you had you all alliance and it was clear it did not include me lol. Anyway you are one hell of a player, you slayed in this game and I know I will see you in other games and who knows maybe will talk again, I don't know that's up to you. much respect!
Ben - You know how I feel about you, we knew each other before the game but didn't talk much until the game. You were one of my solid allies and I trusted you enough to tell you about my idol and give it to you to use to make sure you were safe when you thought you were getting the votes. We had a battle every week and at times it seem impossible and it would never happen, but we fought and I think we played a great game together and I remained loyal until the end where I had to make the choice of you or me. Hearing that the jury would vote you in the end, I had to think about who would I stand a better chance with at the end and unfortunately you played such a great game I knew there was no way I could beat you but I was honest with you and told you before the votes were even read, I hope that you still respect me as a game player, Anyone who knows me I play a loyal and trustworthy game and I think you seen that. So much respect for you as a player too and I know we will talk more in the future. I had a great time playing with you <3
Good luck Sam, we didn't speak a whole lot but voted the same way most of the time. We agreed on most of the votes and you are an Idol Queen!! And I have to answer this because a few asked me and I did not answer but change the subject. "would Sam tell you if he had an idol?" the answer to that was yes he did at Final 6. Thank you for trusting me. I am so glad that we talked what little we did and I really want to play with you again sometime and TJ.. well you already know how I feel about you, you got to hear me complain, laugh and just be paranoid haha, such a lucky person. I am really glad we played together (although being on the same side would have been easier at times... ily!! Good luck to both of you! Xoxo
My final Stats : During tribes, only went to tribal twice, 1st comp I score 2nd to the highest score, 2nd comp I scored the highest in puzzle, lemonade stand I scored the highest and helped a few how to get scores higher, stayed up until 3 am getting tags in the rainbow to help make sure our tribe would win, After counting with the tribe, I did the 198 pc puzzle in 38 minutes and our tribe won. When I knew someone on our side had to win the Over the bridge I stayed up until 5 am to make sure I won it, and then the obstacle course I was able to complete that the fasted and won my 2nd immunity. As you know I was lucky to win the final immunity. So at the end I was able to stay loyal, stay trustworthy, Find an idol and win the last 3 Individual immunities and play my ass off. I hope you can respect the game that I played and vote me as your winner.
Will answer questions but remember this is a game and not a witch hunt, GG everyone!! xoxo
