Ok. I've been mulling this over for hours. What did all the jury members do to deserve my spot here in the finals more than me?

But I'm going to be honest, I'm having trouble coming up with an answer, and I say that with as much humility as possible. There are plenty of good reasons why each of you played good games in one way or another that would earn each of you a spot in the final tribal council.

My issue with the question is that you want a reason why every jury member deserves my finalist seat over me.

You wanted humility, and I understand that. I by no means think that I accomplished everything by myself. I've said it numerous times in my responses: nobody accomplishes anything (except maybe individual challenges) by themselves. I was only able to do what I did because of my great, great allies, for whom I am extremely grateful. I do not mean to take credit for what a group of people did.

But at the same time, I think that I really, really earned my spot here. You yourself said that I was "strong in challenges, the best out here socially, and a strategic genius". Therefore, I don't mean to discredit anyone else, but if I'm speaking honestly, I really think I deserve my spot here in the finals more than anyone else. I worked really hard for it and I worked really smart for it.

So in summary, I'd like to emphasize that I do think other people in this game played well, but if I'm speaking honestly, I don't think any of them deserve my spot over me, and I will stand by that.
