Hey guys. I know I'm kind of jumping into this extremely fast, but I'd rather not prolong your questions since I'll be out tomorrow. Anyway, I'll get right into it.
I believe I deserve your votes and the right to win this game because I played this game better than Parvati. I was strategically holding the reigns the majority, if not the entire, time in this game. I was viewed as someone who was unknowing and unassuming when in reality I knew what was going on, who was with who, and took control and made the scenarios I planned, come to life.
From the beginning I had a core alliance between Andrea, and Natalie, and early on the three of us were split up between the separate tribes. However, despite the tribal distance there was always constant stream of communication. Despite being on the outs of the early forming alliances, I was at the center of a constant flow of information regarding all players. I knew what alliances were being formed, who was enemies with who, and who was being targeted, ultimately allowing myself to structure my game around other players and make moves that would not only benefit my game, but at the same appease others and keep me within their good graces.
With the swap I was in total control and safety with my girls and now Adam, an early found ally which we knew could help us in the game whenever we had the fortune of meeting up with him. We easily made it through the tribe swap and were on our way to merge.
At the merge I was fairly impressed with how my alliance and I were able to handle and firmly retake the reigns on the game. I was able to remain social with the key players of the game and when it came down to voting time, I essentially chose my target each round, and pretty much every time no one chose to challenge my word and whoever I wanted to see go, left the game. They may not have directly heard it from me, but I talked with my alliance on who I wanted out, and then we all worked on spreading it around.
There were struggles, and I lost my alliance members due to diminishing game numbers, but overall I feel I played the best game, called the most shots, all while falling under the unsuspected role of a simpleton. By the time people really saw me as a major player, it was too late to come after me and I had set myself up for success, even up to the final vote.
I look forward to all of your questions so I can delve into further detail about my game. I thank you all for your time and hope to answer soon.
