Well it certainly is a tale of two cities. While Kerum enjoyed the luxury of never going to tribal premerge, I followed Denise Stapley's footsteps and went to every tribal in the game.
Premerge
Before the swap, there were actual alliances that were hushed up. For example, there was a final 3 alliance of me, bender, and sea and a final 4 of me, bender, sea, and Cody. I also had Kiara as a side alliance and Cody and it was an easy boot in Michael and Ray would've went had he not quit most likely.
Swap
Swap for me was terrible, me and Bender were completely outnumbered 4-2 . Originally Raymond was going but, Zach blew his game up and became an old switcheroo. Next boot, the Bender boot definitely hurt since I did not want to be alone with a whole tribe wanting me out, we thought we had beck made but, were very wrong .
Finally the Beck vote, let's face it without Sea I was a sitting duck without immunity and actually gave me back power in the game and decided on Beck since between him and John, John was a friend and I wanted him around more.
Merge
Obviously original Boycott was down five to four and I gave immunity to Sea to repay her , everyone was on the bandwagon to get Kyle out.
The Sea and Kiara tribals were honestly a mess. Old Boycott clearly wasn't communicating well and we made the mistake of using Kiara's idol on me instead of Sea . I'll admit, Gubu did a good job that tribal with the trickery and even if Sea changed her ghost vote, you made sure to leave only one possible vote to do and idoled Raymond.
John Blindside it wasn't easy but, it had to be done since at this point me and Cody were on an island by ourselves until Raymond changed the game.
The rest of the tribals are pretty much well known so I'll skip to the point.
I went to every tribal, was given immunity only once and won the auction immunity, and took down powerhouse Sam in the fire making challenge. Sure my road was bumpy but, I didn't crash off the road and clawed my way here.
So jury, vote for who you believe deserves to win.
