Board Thread:Survivor: Africa (Season 2)/@comment-25193040-20141121065609

Hello jurors, and thank you for participating in this season. I have to admit I am horrible at speeches (both verbal and written) although tonight it is essential. I didn’t make that many strategic moves, although I believe I had a good social game with some of you guys. If you want to talk trash about me I encourage it.

When I came into the game, I immediately aligned myself with James with helped me go deep into the game. We voted as a pair throughout the game, and I don’t think I would be here without him, so I would like to say thank you for helping me out during the game. Ted warned me that Perry was planning to get me out, although I threw my vote at Ted, I ended up changing it to Perry as he would become a huge threat. As the merge came along I decided to go against the majority, especially with the Kevin and Purry boot, voting with against Jo. Then when Jo was target number one I was ecstatic because I wanted to vote her out for ages (sorry Pete). Then there was an opportunity to vote out Alex, and when I thought I was the swing vote Alex played his idol. After talking to Pete and Natalie I decided to vote for Sean, which I shouldn’t have done but it landed me here.

James was fortunate enough to get sent to Exile Island where he gave me the clue to the idol, and I got it on the first try. The idol initially was a curse because I had thought about playing it at every tribal council, especially during both the Kevin and the Purry boot. When I found out that I could play the idol up to the final 5, I knew I was secure. I was willing to vote for Natalie had I participated in the challenge. Although I played the idol on myself ensuring my safety even though I thought there was reason why I should have played it. Fortunately Pete was eliminated and then I was willing to vote out Natalie. Unfortunately the Final Immunity Challenge was a challenge that I knew I couldn’t do. Knowing I was going home, I approached Alex about tying the votes 2-2. Fortunately for me, I had enough time to complete the tie-breaker challenge after completing it in 5 hours.

If you vote for me, I will be truly grateful for your vote. I admit this was not my best ORG, but I do deserve to be sitting here, and I hope you make your decision based on the values you personally believe in. So I can’t wait to answer your questions, and you can throw everything at me. :)
