Whoo, honestly your speech is short, but has alot of wait to it, and I expect NOTHING less from you so let's get too it lmao!

When I needed to make something happen, I DID – Could you explain a move or 2 that you did throughout the game?

If I had to pick one that I contributed the most to, it would most definitely be Ben's vote out. I know we tried it, like, quite a few times ^^' but this time I was DETERMINED. After Malik's blindside, it was clear to me there was a pattern of getting rid of duos and the like and to me the biggest/most concerning duo left was still Ben & Jerry's, which is why he kept becoming a target. So to make sure it happened for real this time I worked probably the HARDEST this entire game to flip people. Namely with Konrad and Charlie. With Konrad, at this point in the game I quickly developed a strong personal and game relationship with him. The guy's actually really cool to talk to and I wish I had gotten to known him a bit sooner. But anyways, that round my name was once again in the air, and I knew he was really close with Ben, so I worked the better part of like 4 to five hours to talk to Konrad. He was HEAVILY concerned about being in the minority if he flipped, which I realized was the mindset of alot of people during this season. So with that in mind I did what I could to convince him that it was just as good a move for him as it was for me. That I had his back if we were to do this together, a word that I kept till the end. Eventually, he conceded, but only if Charlie was on board. And at the same time, I was also working on Charlie.

Me and Charlie had always been buddies, but it was always hard to know where exactly his head was at, especially after he voted for me and my allies a handful of times. But at this point, it was about threat level and not "Majority" or "Sides", which is an argument that I think really changed the tides of my game. And it was thanks to Charlie's cooperation and Konrad taking my advice and making a bold move that I was able to shift the numbers in my favor that round and finally get the results I wanted. It was a move that I feel like I can genuinely say was a move only made possible and orchestrated by the conversations and the maneuvering that I did on my own. Ben needed to go for my game, and I made it happen. I know it sounds harsh, but it's something I felt had to be done.

"Who did I genuinely feel like I had a chance against at the end/who gave me the best win condition" – Why do you think you could beat Cammy over Charlie?

Well ok, I wanna start out by saying, had push came to shove and I won FIC, I more than likely would have taken Charlie. As comparatively, yes, he had the lesser "resume" and could have given me a better chance. That being SAID, I still reasoned that I could and CAN beat Cammy. Why? Well here's how I rationalized it. To me, I feel like my smaller game and moves could over take her "bigger" game and moves. Primarily my social game! I know me and you mutually didn't particularly talk, and it's clear I didn't gel as well as I wished with other jurors here and there, but overall I believe I left a positive impression on most of the jury here. I talked to people, some less than others, but I always made it clear to the people I was with that I was with them and they had my back in return. Whenever I was in danger, my bonds saved me and I didn't leave a bad taste in anyone's mouths. Cammy DID, her game was dirtier than mine at times, while mine was cleaner yet just as proactive as hers. Cammy had to backstab and lie to alot of people to get here, which sure you can argue is a part of the game, but it's not the ONLY way to play. My motives were more or less clear and I was one of the few in this game that didn't have to bounce from one side to the other. Instead, I MADE sides and got people around me who wanted me their, and fought against the people who didn't.

Cammy was there with me yes, but she didn't have the full control over me that people think she did. i slowly but surely whittled my way into good positions, and wile my name was constantly in people's mouths, and maneuvered around them. And strategically, because this game was so TOPSY TURVY, I had to adapt pretty much every round, which is why it may seem like I didn't have a plan or a course of action, because the plan had to change every other round to fit the new situation I was in. Was it a perfect game or strategy all the way through? No, but it has just as much merit and that's why I had the confidence that if worst came to worst, I can take Cammy head on! And I believe I'm doing that, and I hope you guys can see it too. I had to FIGHT and I fought pretty well all things considered.
