Alright, listen up and listen up good, gentlemen.

Nah, just kidding, if you thought this was going to be a roast, you're wrong. I ain't even mad.

I'm here to clear up some misconceptions that both of you (@Brian and @Alex) had about the game. Hopefully, when you see the truth on some of these matters, you can answer the one question I have at the end of this, so bear with me on this.

Truth #1: There was no anti-girls alliance, and there was no guys' alliance. My alliance of Aaron, Danish, and Rayton was simply because we went to tribal every single time so we figured to stick together to avoid the boot. James was never on our side. Yup, James was the greatest floater this game had ever seen, what a guy.

Truth #2: I threw premerge competitions to go to tribal because in Alsace-Lorraine, my downfall was not going to tribal enough. By not going to tribal enough, my word wasn't solidified so people didn't trust me. Brian, this is the number one reason why I didn't trust you moving forward in the game. After the initial Jay vote failed, I figured as much that you and Alex were working together and there was no reason for me to be completely open to you if you had already made your choice of who you wanted to roll to the end with. I strictly did what I could to get the threats out over myself so you would have no choice but to roll with me, but you stuck by Alex's side the entire time and it's going to reflect badly on you because he was definitely the more prominent player. This strategy ended up blowing up in my face because I found myself in the minority always and no matter what angle I tried to exploit, I couldn't join the majority long-term.

Truth #3: Rayton wasn't a mastermind or a threat. He was just a scapegoat from Jay's lies. Jay painted him as the figurehead so he would get the votes because from the Gerda vote, you all thought Rayton flipped the votes on Gerda. In reality, I convinced Aaron and Danish that Gerda was a threat seeing as how she won on the main ORG before so we voted her, and Gerda idiotically decided to gun for Rayton, so there was the 4 votes. James voted with Gerda, and no one bothered to pick him up after that. Trang getting voted out was because she didn't talk to anyone. The attempted Clairie vote was because at that time, my alliance and I thought Jay could be swayed against Sarah and Clairie, we had no indication that they were together because we always went to tribal and couldn't get the information out of them.

Truth #4: The only person I told the entire truth to was Danish. Alex, I can confirm to you that Sarah and I had nothing going on at all. In fact, I barely understood that immunity challenge and I submitted a random ass list. Sarah definitely gave me immunity by accident, I can assure you. You acted out a little too early and that could have been your downfall had I won immunity the tribal I went home. Brian and Alex, you both misread my actions. I told Danish I had to vote him in the tiebreaker to keep Sarah in. I knew Sarah would gun for Alex, and I knew Alex probably had one more idol in store to take out one of Jay/Sarah/Clairie. It was the perfect setup to pit the former power alliance against each other. I honestly don't know why Danish thought I was shady to him, I was 100% upfront with him. In fact, he was my number #1 this game, and I really wanted to take him to the end (but if I continued to win immunities, he would have been voted out).

Truth #5: Alex, I don't know why you were so scared of me, you could have definitely beaten me in the Final 2. When I made that deal, you know I was being 100% with you. I didn't care who I made it to the end with. I had a preference for Danish, but I had a sinking suspicion he would leave. I made a deal with Jay but I knew once I saved Sarah, she would go right back to him and Clairie. I knew it all. I knew about your side deal with Andrew and Brian the moment Jay didn't go home in the Aaron vote. I attempted to integrate myself so the target could be thrown off of me and I voted Jay repeatedly to try to trick you all that I was a one-track player, when in reality, I was not. I spent the entire game in the minority, and if I made it to the end, I would have had to win 5 immunity challenges, and that's not counting the reward comps. I never once found the idol in the Labyrinth simply because I didn't go there enough. I didn't want the huge ass target from winning all the time so I threw constantly to diminish the target on my back.

Truth #6: Brian, of course I didn't trust you. You had a deal with Alex and Andrew. You gave no indicator that you were going to flip on Alex. I agree with Jay here, you missed several opportunities to branch out on your deals and you could have played a great UTR game and made it to the end with no blood on your hands. You just stuck to Alex, and that split vote on Sarah was a baaaaaaaaaaaaad idea. Number one rule of voting, don't assume what someone is going or not going to do.

If I can think of any other misconceptions about the game, I'll edit this but that's about it. So here's my question to you two: With this newfound knowledge about the stuff that went on the game, would it have changed the way you played or would you not have changed a single thing?
