(This one is my statement)

Ello! How are you all? I'm assuming the answers will range anywhere from good to "I fell into dog poop and lost my wallet." Anyway, I'd  ask for your support, providing examples of large moves I've done, but I'm still deciding whether or not that is a smart move. Whoever wins this challenge proves to be a jury threat and may be voted out during final four unless they can win immunity.

I suppose it could a be a calculated risk, so I'll take it.

I admit! I did an awful lot of nothing for the first couple days. I was with Jenn and Tata (thanks for keeping me) from the beginning, and the largest thing I did in the duel tribal stage was almost get duped by Jessy (props to you.)

When I reached the merge, I sort of picked myself up. I was more active than a dying lobster, but I still didn't do much. I competed in challenges and followed the majority vote again.

Then I realized I was dealing with a bunch of smart people who probably would beat me 3 times over. This was after Miguel (who I wish I'd spent more time with, Turkey and now). Jessy talked about voting out Luke. I should have manned up and told her that I didn't want him gone, but I chickened and flopped. It's almost funny, because that's what lead to him being out the very next round (I'm sorry).

And then there's Jennifer. She was an immunity threat and one of the smartest players I would ever hope to play against. When Tommy approached me about voting Jennifer, I was cautious. If she wasn't voted out and we voted for her, we'd all be absolutely fucked. But I realized that I probably wasn't in her endgame, and if I wanted to make it to FTC I'd need to either immunity run or flip. I still firmly believe that if she'd made it there, she would've won.

I feel like a lot of flip flopping happened this season. I began waiting to vote until absolutely necesarry because of the amount of alliance changes that kept happening. I haven't been in an alliance chat since f9 due to the hectic nature of this game.

I can't say I was the smartest player of this game, but I will say that I'm learning.
