Jury, I won't lie, I didn't expect to make it this far. This game was pretty quiet until the merge, and even with chatting with many of you once merge happens, it was quiet enough that I knew there was a large group controlling the votes. I figured I would be voted off eventually. However, my social game having built trust previously with Statham and my fellow finalist's paranoia have gotten me here today. I wasn't able to coast, my fellow finalist did. As he admitted, he clung to the comp threats (Motherbird and myself) making f2 deals with both of us. However, he broke his with Motherbird as well as his f5 group which was actually unnecessary. He didn't need to make any big moves of betrayal, he would've still gotten here today. However, his paranoia should revoke his username privileges. He latched on to me while I was doing the work of getting Statham and Cheese to solidify the 4. No matter what, he was floating behind and not doing the work while the threats were taken out. I also won 5 individual immunities. This is in addition to the social game that I played, doesn't make my game boring/safe. I still created relationships with most of you and also liking you all while respecting the game you were playing if votes were coming my way. I competed, found votes when needed to keep the majority, all while being kind in the process. I hope you vote for me as your winner. Gl Loyal

Jury -- I am a worthy winner of this season for the following reasons: - I was either THE driving force or had a hand in every elimination - I never had a vote cast against me despite multiple blindsides with the exception of the forced vote from Statham now - I was never immune from elimination post-merge, I did it all with my social game, earning trust (even if I had to discard it at times) - At some point, everyone felt like they could trust me. - I helped create and then threw away a 5-person alliance knowing that I'd place better if I choose not to coast by - By doing this, I (mercifully 😉) saved Joshy from the only elimination where he was eligible. - I clung to a bigger competition threat knowing I didn’t need wins to get to the end. Joshy told me earlier he has had seasons where he won 8 comps and it didn’t matter strategically for me. Do not reward the more boring, safe game! Vote for the chaotic and active player who went guns blazing, was vulnerable every elimination making big moves and still never seriously felt in danger of elimination.

grats Joshy!!

actual idiots
