Thanks biatch <3

'''Please make me believe that you had all 3 aspect of the survivor game, the physical the social and the strategic. Give me all the tea!'''

I think not only did I play this game with all three aspects, but I had overall played the best of all three aspects of the game. My physical game (while I'm usually not the best at this) was pretty good, at the premerge I was able to hold my own and not stand out as someone who sucked in challenges but instead was helpful in them. Then I was one of only three people who made the merge to win an challenge and won the second most this season on my own. I was the one who inevitably was able to beat Jennifer to end her winning streak and win final immunity as well. Socially I was in the good graces with everyone and had quite a few extremely close allies throughout the game that kept me safe and helped me pull off moves. I was able to get myself in positions where I had multiple options and choices of what to do every round because I had people close to me on both sides, as well as people I was close to who worked on those I wasn't close with. I was the biggest target coming into this game being one of only 2 previous winners on this season, as well as people pointing out early I had friends on the cast. But I was able to get past that and get people to not target me and let me slide by until it was too late. Strategically I think I was almost always the one or one of the people calling the shots of who needed to go at that time. I had my social game get other people on board for what I wanted to go down at that time. I had a good idea what had to happen at every round with thinking of the implications it would have on future rounds. I was aware of what was going on almost at all times, and the one round where I didn't know what was happening 100%, I was screaming to you and Eddie all day that something wasn't right but I was paranoid all day it was me and not you. I was able to get to the final 6 with two idols, one of which everyone knew about since the final 8, and only voted one round in this game, which it wouldn't have mattered either way since I stole Miguel's vote and threw it at him so whether he played the idol on Bas or it was successfully flushed it wouldn't have mattered since he would've gone on the revote over me. I was able to make the tough calls in this game and pull the trigger on everyone, regardless if they were my friend or not, I did what was best for me and what I had to do.

What would you say to everyone who's thinking of not voting you cause of the screenshot?

Well, I understand exactly why people wouldn't want to vote me because of the screenshot, it was a rule and it was broken. However I would like to bring up a few points before people pull the trigger on that being the deciding factor on why NOT to vote me. Also note that I'm just giving the other side of the argument and am in no means justifying the use of it.

1.  The definition of cheating is " act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination. ", so while yes I believe the screenshot was a bit unfair since you can't screenshot a conversation word for word in Survivor, it wasn't done with the intention of acting to gain an advantage in the game. At the time I thought most everything was in place and I was just having a friend conversation with Szymon and was genuinely just venting my anger to him about the vote. We had already planned what was happening and this screenshot wasn't meant to be sent to ensure Miguel would play his idol, his idol and the plan to flush it and get Chris out was already in motion. I haven't sent any sort of screenshot to anyone in this game as some sort game move, no one on this jury can say I sent them a screenshot to try and make a move happen and everything that happened in this game was because of the work I put in, not because of me cheating every single round to get what I want to happen. Not to mention, I came clean about the screenshot when the game was stopped on my own accord when I really had no idea that it was sent anywhere and I was given my punishment that was basically a one way elimination ticket. People knew I had an idol and a big threat, but they went with Szymon who was someone people openly were mad at.

2. The pros compared to the cons. I think a recurring thing I've heard tonight is that, minus some lying in the game, the main/sole reason people would not want to vote me is because of the screenshot. I think compared to the one screenshot sent in this game, I was able to play a successful game throughout the entire season. As I said above and in my speech I played a very well rounded physical, social and strategic game that I did on my own. I made history on 703 twice this season by playing two idols at once(the last round they could be played after having them a majority of the game), and by being the first person EVER to make it to the end twice. I am the only three time player to never be on the jury, because the first time I played I was taken out first for being a threat, and then returned to never be voted out. I didn't cheat on anything in the game and if I was thinking at the time I was playing a game with someone and not just casually talking to my friend I would've just copy and pasted like every other person in this game does. My game didn't end with the screenshot which it easily could have, I brought my game to a level where I never needed to cheat or break any rules to play this game. I think my game aside from one incident that happened, could have easily been stopped and if people were really so against me for what I had done, there were multiple times before the screenshot happened if people knew me and Szymon were friends, and after the incident as well.

3. I'm probably going to get a lot of shit for this one but, despite what people are saying now after the fact, I strongly believe nothing would've changed if the screenshot had been sent to Miguel or not. Miguel was one of Szymon's biggest followers in this game and did whatever he told him to do. The track record before that was him and many other heroes doing what he wanted on the original tribes, then at the merge he told him about the idol. Literally the very next round the exact thing happened with no screenshot and less reason to play it. Even after betraying him and making him waste two of his idols the round after that he still voted with him. If Miguel wants to say he wasn't able to correctly play his idol on his own and he only played it on Bryce 100% because of the screenshot then, that's on him. But Szymon had such control over the heroes that I think he would've been played it regardless. Miguel didn't even report a screenshot until he was out and backstabbed, when he could've gone to people in the game and used it as proof that me and Szymon were close and could've had momentum to turn this game on its head. But he didn't, he was under Szymon's thumb the entire time and never went against him even when he had multiple chances and red flags to do so. Maybe the screenshot did confirm who the vote was officially, but even so screenshots can be easily faked. My last season Jake made a fake screenshot(screenshots were allowed but discouraged last time I played) to get TSN and his side to flip on the revote(which btw they all voted him), they can be faked easily and have been multiple times in the past, so even those aren't 100% proof on things. If he played it wrong, conversations could've happened and people could've flipped for either but then again it might not have. The only real scenario is Miguel did whatever the fuck Szymon said before and after it happened, even playing another idol the very next round, so I don't and none of you should think that the screenshot was really the only reason the idol was played.

thanks Alissa !!!
