Hello everyone. First off, I would like to thank everyone who helped me get to this point. And I would also like to thank TJ for hosting such a great game.
I first came into this game feeling excited and pumped for the challenges and twists that were gonna happen. Sadly, it didn't turn out well enough as the Survivors kept winning challenges and we had lots of inactive people on our tribe. We kept losing member after member but even though it was like that I felt safe because I was aligned with Memphis and Dani.
When tribal swaps occurred and a replacement came over which was Sue I was still in a tight spot as my tribe lost most of the challenges against the newly formed tribes and Survivor was still winning even with a mixed group. It was then that I met Veronica. We hit it off during the flag challenge as I made a pact with her to eliminate the remaining Survivors except Sue who was aligned to me. We had the same goal and it was then put into motion.
Another swap occurred and I was in a tribe with Dani, CT, Yul, Willard, Parv. We were clearly outnumbered by the Survivors and we feared that they will just pick us off one by one. But then I saw hope when I found out who Willard was and that he wanted to work with me secretly. So at this point I still felt safe even though I could be going home any round which almost happened when I was voted to a duel against Yul.
Finally merge came and I was reunited with my original alliance of Memphis, Sue and we still have Dave, Veronica and CT from that cross tribe alliance. That was the time I had to break away from my alliance with Willard because I could never commit to it anymore since he wanted things differently that would have wiped out my original alliance. In the end, I fought hard to earn myself a spot in final 2 and I succeeded with the help of the Jury who pushed my score even higher than I would have expected.
I played the game with as much integrity as possible, I played it well socially by making good connections with people and not trying to sound cocky or piss off anyone. And I think I also played a strong physical game even though I've only won like 2 immunities during merge and won 1 duel. I won the ones that counted and overall I feel good about what I've done. But I wouldn't be standing here if it werent for my alliance and I thank them for that and their support. I also would like to say thanks to Veronica, coz she's like the coolest cross-tribal ally I've ever had.
So jury, I come humbly now at your presence as you ask away and I will try to answer them as honestly as I possibly could.
Thanks and good luck to your decisions
