Perry <3

I think my number is 932483, since the last numbers you said were 4, 1 and 3, I assumed the 3 was for me.

Now, let's continue with Nuno's long ass responses....

You said some stuff that weren't really things I fully agree on. You said I wanted to be a leader of the Beauty alliance, but I wasn't trying to get a "leadership" on it, it is just my personality when I'm in alliances. I tend to talk more on the alliance chats and ask people what they think so that there is coordination and the vote comes out organized. I can see people may target others because of this, but I didn't mean to lead the Beauty alliance, as you may think I did. I only wanted to make sure people in it were going to be good with the votes, and the Beauties voted together every time, so my concern about the votes coming out that way paid off.

Also, about the fact I was out for blood to get you, that was just the reaction of the vote off. By the morning, when I told you I had gotten over it, I had gotten over it. You said I didn't try to relight the relationship I had with you, but I constantly talked strategy with you through the merge and so on, and we even had talks that didn't regard the game (such as that fanfic I wrote). If you felt like I was just faking all of that, I have to say, I was not. I didn't want to get you out because I knew you were gonna be needed for the merge, which is the same reason why I tried to keep Sam. You're gonna say "But Sarah thought the same way". Well, I'm not Sarah. If I had a thing going on in my mind and I talked to her, and she was cool with it, then boom, she'd be up for it. I was the one who suggested her we aligned with Dom at the F7, and that worked out.

So, when you said on your speech "You didn't try to talk to me like Sarah did" or "You didn't try to strategize", you have to remember that we skyped some times after the Boo vote off, and I was completely ok with it. I got over it, but I still knew you were going to win. I knew I had to take you out eventually, but considering how the cards got laid out, it wasn't going to be a "blindside" or a move pulled by me, it was just going to be people going for the common enemy, and at that vote, the common enemy was you, the biggest threat in the other alliance's agenda.

You probably only think I got here because of luck, because of people's help or because the game worked out my way. Honestly? I was lucky at times. And I was unlucky at times too. Let's go back to Dunan. That tribe lost a lot of challenges and I still managed to get through all of it without a single vote cast against me. I couldn't have controlled how my other tribe members did in challenges other than give them support, it's not like I can win a challenge for an entire tribe all the time.

When we got back together on the swapped tribe, we were already going to align with you, since we had talked about that before, if I recall. We were good. Me, you, Luke, Sarah. Everybody. Except Boo, and that is why you guys got him out. I was really going forward with the vote with the alliance, so that is why I got mad at the time, but it's not like I stayed mad the entireeee game. We got over it the next day, we talked, we skyped and at the next vote, the one you thought I was leaking shit to Wes, it wasn't me, it was Tyler. I was on a skype call with Tyler at the time, and I was telling him I didn't want you out, and Tyler even reported that to Wes. I tried to tell you that I wasn't leaking anything, since Wes was also the one who approached me first wanting to know about the split vote, but considering you thought I still had mistrust in you over getting pissed about the vote, then I'll take that on me, and count it as my mistake.

Like I said in my speech, I know my game wasn't flawless, in fact, it had a lot of things that went terribly wrong. Zane tried to expose our alliance and throw me under the bus because he saw himself going home. I thought that was a nightmare. Try to think of yourself in a situation like that. End of the world? Probably. I wasn't destined to be here. The jury keeps going with "Oh, you had the key and an idol played on you.". It seems like you are only taking in some aspects of the game.

This game has a lot of things you need. You need to be self-aware, a good strategist, talk to people, do well in challenges, and sometimes, rely on luck. I feel like everybody needs a little luck to win the game. It's arguable I got lucky big time, but I also got unlucky big time at a lot of moments too. I think what makes my game different from the other two is the fact that I had so much shit thrown at me, so many things to go over, having to try and convince people to keep me, aligning and backstabbing people I aligned with and still having to walk around with a target that goes back to other ORG's, since people know I can do well really at challenges or play a good game. I just didn't play the stellar game that you might have seen from me in another season, but those were cause of the circumstances and things, that I can agree, I let slip.

What I'm trying to say at the end of the day: my journey here was not easy. You guys are trying to deconstruct my story bit by bit, when you're not seeing the bigger point. I got here. I didn't wanna play an under the radar game, that was a big risk I had to take, and I still got here. You said I was a leader (even though I still disagree lol), and that I needed majority because of that. Well, sometimes being in the majority doesn't give you the taste of what it is like to fight for your life at tribals, it just kind of makes you comfortable, and some people on the jury might have gone home because of that. I had always to try and be wary of the vote that was happening. I heard from the people during the double tribal what was going on, and I even talked to Sam to try and see what he was going to do, then helping Sarah and Alex's case at that vote. Again, I couldn't have done much, it would have been seen as kind of overplaying, someone who is not even voting trying to control the votes. But I still knew how the votes went down.

And, that's why I think you should vote for me. Try to imagine yourself in a situation like mine. It was a roller coaster all of the time, and even if my plans didn't work the first, the second, the third time, they were something that still showed my willingness to keep going forward.

Thank you, I am sooooo sorry for writing this much, and I hope to CHAT AGAIN ABOUT **** AFTER THE SEASON IS OVER!!
