Hi jury, I've always been bad with speeches so I'm going to keep it short and simple. From the beginning of the game I knew that I had to build and maintain a strong social game if I wanted any chance at making it far. This was due to the fact that I still flop at the minigames (but I'm slightly improving!). To support my social game, I made connections with most of you. This in turn made it harder in the long run to vote each of you out, but it's just part of the game. At the beginning of the merge I felt as though I was playing the middle, hearing votes from both my original tribe and the new friends I made from the former opposing tribe. This allowed me to calculate who was going when, persuade if necessary, and overall land my vote in the majority every tribal. All of the what-if votes that could have happened would have definitely changed the game up, but I don't think I would have been in this spot if they altered course and didn't play out the way that they did. At final three I pulled off my first immunity win and had a huge decision to make: who was I going to face in the finale. I felt (and still feel) that I was playing for second regardless of who I took, but I felt as though I would have a slightly better shot at 1st against Cray than Foxxlyn. I am actually shocked I was able to get myself to final 2 as such a new player on this site (and what I'm considering my first outcasted because I forgot I enrolled in the original one until it was too late). Each vote I was like okay this is the one, I'm getting voted out- yet I stayed. I survived, persevered, and endured all the way to the end. I did not envision myself making it past 7th or 6th place. On a personal note, I had a great time getting to know each of you that I spoke with and will not be upset/have nothing against any of you for the way that you vote. I know some people hold grudges, and they can do what they please, but I am a firm believer that if we are rivals in one game we could be best friends final 2 alliance in a different one. I do not carry past game history into the future. Good luck Cray & good game everyone <3

Jury, My game was built on balance of skill with winning three immunities and my social game. From the very beginning, I focused on relationships. I formed a strong tribe alliance that kept me in the majority before the merge and throughout. People trusted me and gave me information that became my greatest weapon. Every single round, I knew where the votes were going. Every round, people told me their plans even the opposing tribe members. I knew who was leaving before day change (minus Clash who did that to himself 👀). That level of awareness doesn’t happen by accident. My biggest moves came at final five and four. At five, there was already skepticism and distrust simmering between Fox and Primadonna. I didn’t create that tension, but I recognized it, and used it. Both were considering targeting each other, and I carefully added fuel to both fires until I made my call. Not to cause chaos, but to ensure the target never landed on me. Primadonna was also one of the top challenge performers from our tribe in the upcoming challenge, and I knew letting him gain momentum would be dangerous. Steering the vote away from him set up the endgame exactly how I needed it to align with my next move. At four, I knew I didn’t want Blip going as we had gotten close. Sapphire as the lone vote against him, and with everyone openly telling me where they were voting, I knew the vote was tying. That made the decision simple: put two votes on Sapphire and control the outcome once again. Blip stays with a higher score leaving Fox as the lone vote against him. I made it all the way to the end without a vote cast against me EVEN AT F3. I played this entire game with a target on everyone else’s back, never my own. I won challenges. I controlled information. I made deals and yes, I broke some of them. Every move I made was intentional, and every risk I took was to get me sitting here. I didn’t just survive this game. I controlled it. And for that reason, I’m asking for your vote to win. Good luck Blip! I have enjoyed getting to know you and I’m glad we met!

Still open to being used for a vote if anybody is trying to make a move <33

If it’s me then it was fun.

message me a vote my score went down by more than half because of this penalty nonsense <3
