Well it has been a long journey to get to this point. I am so glad that I have gotten the chance to get to know you all and be apart of this game. I came in this game not knowing what to expect as I had taken a few months off from ORG'S and this was my first game back. I did everything in my power to get myself to the end and I managed to accomplish that. This game comes down to 3 main parts...

Outwit- For a long time in this game I seemed to be a leader. At one point early in the game Brett told me he saw me as a leader. I didn't originally want that role but I knew I was one of the best people for the job. I made a lot of finals deals and in return broke a lot of those deals. I needed everyone to think I was with them so my name would stay out of people's mouths. I looked at all my options every week to decide what was best for me in the game. Overall most of the people I told I was with to, believed me and had my back so I knew that I could go about my game with people watching out for me.

OUTPLAY- We all know Heidi was the challenge Hog lol but I'd like to think I was close. In a lot of immunity's (Most notably the last 2) I came SO CLOSE. Yes Heidi had the immunity around her neck but I gave just as much effort. It kinda killed me inside to lose by 1 foot and then realize I was going to lose by 1 minute in the final immunity. I did win the first immunity and won some nice prizes at the auction which helped my position in the game.

OUTLAST- Finally I managed to stay in the game all the way to the end. I did what I had to do to get myself to this position and don't regret anything. I hope that you all can vote with open minds and not based on being bitter or voting gender lines since that was how the game started.

I look forward to your questions and will answer each of them honestly.

Hey jury, mine will be up later this evening, I've had a busy day and am about to go out and I don't wanna rush it. Feel free to start asking me your questions and I'll answer them when I get home too !

This has been one heck of a game. I came into it on an all girls tribe and saw them all get voted off until I was the only one left. There is only one reason I am sitting here tonight in the Final Two, and that is because I won five immunity challenges in row. I was warned by multiple people that there was a guys alliance, and it took me a while to see it, but I finally realized that my only shot at making it to the end was to go on an immunity run. I gave every challenge 110%, remained loyal to the people I aligned with, and helped people out when they needed it. I ask you tonight to help me out. I have never seen my name written down at Tribal Council before. There's a first time for everything, right ? I gave this game everything I had and I deserve to win this game. I'm a fighter and I'm a Survivor. At times it was really hard, but I never gave up and always kept my eye on the prize. I took a player with me to the Final Two who deserves to win in his own way, because I believe that in order to be the best you need to beat the best. If you think I'm the best, vote for me. If you think Matty is the best, vote for him. I welcome any questions you have for me and I look forward to answering them truthfully. Good luck with your decision, jurors.
