"I barely spoke to people" "I won immunity over half the game" It's clear you fundamentally don't understand this game or why mine was superior to yours. I'll let the speeches do the talking... GL

Not at all, I barely spoke to people. I did what I had to do yo advance MY game. Not my allies. tea is I dragged you here.

It's the truth, and you started being shady with that fischer tribute.

oh woah you're being kinda shady. oof

haha I think I did but it's all perception. I truly think I did but if they think you did better and 5 individual immunities out of 8 isn't impressive or no votes against or never having my name written down.... I ate

It's so much easier to play this game when being good at html games earns you safety for over half the game. I'm sorry, but you played this game in the shadow of bigger targets.

Absolutely not true

Vote for me I played better.

9th - Wallace: We only played together for two rounds during the merge but we knew once we stepped foot on Mireva beach we that were allies. With your help and some luck in deal, I was able to take the first major blow against the opposing alliance, and I'm still hurt that it resulted in your blindside one round later. Robbed diva, I can't believe Idolize did that to you. 8th - Fischer: You told me I was your one as soon as this game started, and I believed that. We should have gone into this round with a clear majority and it should have never been you here. Unfortunately like the majority of this game, things were never that easy. I wish we had discussed our words scores more being the reveal, I would have played my idol on you. Me, you and KnowUh were a true team. I think you should vote for me because I was loyal and I vindicated your loss by winning two tiebreakers against the other side :p 7th - Gabs: The victim of what in my opinion is (hopefully) my game-winning play. While we never really strategized together and we knew what was going down, I enjoyed meeting you properly. I think you should vote for me because I got you out, and you should know better than anyone that it is no easy feat. ;) 6th - Tokio: Probably who I interacted the least with in the merge, but I respected your game. You tried to get me out during the swap which was understandable, and we were battling on opposing sides ever since. Of course such a battle would culminate in our iconic flags showdown at f6. I think you should vote for me for knowing my flags a little better than you did. :) 5th - Anora: Queen. I think we might have said a total of.... did we even talk in this game? I don't believe we did until I realized what a legend you are by playing with you in other games. I'm so happy we got the chance to connect and I can call you a friend moving forward. We both made it to the f5 with honor by holding strong to our loyalties, it just happened to go my way this time. ILY <3 4th - KnowUh: My dynamic duo. I knew once I saw you in this game that this would either go horribly or that together we would be an unstoppable force and I'm so glad it was the latter. Other people might have assumed you were shady and try to turn us against each other, but I could always tell you were the real deal and together we accomplished great moves and put our stamp on this game. You know if I had my way we would have all made f3 together, but idolize be idolizing. I hope that my game play this season proved to you that I'm more than a pretty face, but also a fierce ally and strategist. 3rd - Gabbes: Oh gabbes, I think I'm going to miss our conversations the most. We spent many day changes together in lovely paranoia knowing that we'd love to work together, but it could just never be. So instead we kept our love real while keeping the game dirty and conniving and I think there's something very beautiful about that. You made this game unforgettable and I'm happy to call you my friend <3 GL Idolize and thank you so much for staying true 💙 I could write an essay about how wonderful you are, and you are a great player - but I am tired now and ready to begin a lengthy hiatus from Outcaster :p

9th - we never really spoke, so I had to make a move to better my overall position in the game. I hope you respect my game and can vote for me to win. 8th - It was really great working with you. Sorry the tie got you =[ Metro called you shady lol 7th - ily and I had to vote along with Knowuh and Metro to keep myself in a good spot. I was confident an idol was being played and had I voted against them, I wouldn't have had them on my side for the end game. You would have been gone regardless of who I voted for. Had my friends been honest about who they were voting for, I definitely think this game would have played out differently because I could have saved you. 6th - You're also a great ally, but I had to turn my back when you continued to leave me out of the vote. I will always work with you in other games 5th - Same thing. Being left out of the vote showed me that my friends didn't fully trust me with information so I had to make moves that put me first. 4th - I never fully knew where I stood with you other than I knew you needed me to vote with you to survive. Trying to make a final 2 at the end just didn't feel genuine to me and I wasn't sure you would actually take me. And I didn't ignore you, I have had a busy week IRL and I clearly wasn't on much nor do I have discord. Y'all also left me out of the whole idol situation even though I knew one of you had it. I hope you aren't salty and can understand and respect the game I had to play to get here. 3rd - Ily too. Like the others, I just had to put myself first because you all put yourselves first. Nothing but respect and you know I will always work with you in games!

Happy New Years! Thank you all for being a part of what has been my favorite game on Kovaze. It has been an honor to meet and make friends with people from a different part of the world, and I think we shared a special game together that is unique to our community. A lot of you came to PLAY this season and kept me stressed every single round post merge, and I had no choice but to rise to the challenge - outwit, outplay and outlast. I hope I can show you that I played the game most deserving of winning such an iconic Outlaster, facing the most adversity, making the flashiest plays and holding the best winning narrative. While I played hard from the beginning, the game ramped up during the tribe swap. I noticed that there would be a 4-2 split on both tribes, and I was able to cement the majority on my tribe with idolize, knowuh and fischer. I knew my tribe had to lose at least one challenge for me to not be blown out at the merge. When we lost, I rallied against foox and tokio to make my first big play of taking out foox, though she tried to get the votes against me - calling me a “major social threat”. With foox taken care of, I still wanted our tribe to lose to take out tokio and save my other loyal ally, Koolness, but I decided that throwing the challenge would be risky and unfair. So I competed, took my chances and headed into the merge without my true final 2. At the start of the merge, I was blessed to find my first idol playing Outcaster. I understood the assignment of uniting my tribe’s majority with Wallace to create the 5 that would send out Yoon. But it wasn’t easy. Being weaker in challenges, I knew I was a natural target for the Brazilian side during a tiebreaker situation. This resulted in me being in tiebreakers against both Yoon and Tokio. Thankfully, during these situations I deliberately ensured that my alliance was targeting players that I could beat in a challenge, and I was able to muster just enough competition prowess to save my ass when it mattered most. Even though there were 2 other idols in the game, I ensured that my alliance’s vote would be hard to read for the other side by having a flirtmance with gabbes. We would feed each other lies every round to cause confusion and the better lie would emerge victorious. It was lowkey iconic and I loved it. Ultimately, I was able to get my side to emerge victorious in the rounds that truly counted for my game, while pulling out crucial tiebreakers and a parvati-esque idol play when the numbers weren’t in my favor. You may look at my game and think it is not a “perfect” game in the way Idolize was not in danger, but I believe mine demonstrated greater resilience and social strategy. I couldn’t rely on being immune for half of the merge, and what an incredibly dangerous merge we played. As a winner, I feel I would best represent the controlled chaos that occurred in this game. I was the strategic force behind my alliance’s plays, and I believe we would be seeing a very different end game had it not been for the moves I made. I was able to outwit and outplay while treating my enemies with respect, and showing a fierce loyalty to my allies that inspired them to return the same to me. I had guts. I knew well the danger I would put myself in being the only one in my alliance vulnerable when I played my idol on knowuh while at a numbers disadvantage. I clinched my asshole tight and kept myself vulnerable knowing I would save my close ally who would have also taken me to final 2, and keep a threat that would always receive votes before I was the target again. It’s not a coincidence that after playing my idol to save knowuh, I only received one vote from gabbes at the f3 thereafter. So there you have it, I’m sure I’m missing a lot and I haven’t slept but if you read all of that, I hope you understand how much love and effort I put into playing this game. It would mean so much to me to be rewarded with the win. If I have energy later, I will write tributes for the merge. Thank you.

If anyone has any questions they'd like me to answer, I would be happy to do so.

Jury, thank you all for being here. I respect every one of you, because getting to this point required real strategy, adaptability, and resilience. I want to be very clear about my game, because it wasn’t loud—but it was extremely intentional. After the merge, I was only truly in danger three times. And even in those moments, I had positioned myself so well that both alliances needed my vote to survive. That wasn’t luck—that was strategic placement. I backed that positioning up with performance. I won individual immunity at Final 8, 7, 5, and 4—and then I won Final 3 immunity, where I earned the power to decide who sat next to me at the end. When I could be targeted, I made sure I wasn’t. Across the entire game, I was only eligible to be voted out at five Tribal Councils total—two pre-merge and three post-merge. That’s fewer than anyone else here. And despite playing in the middle, despite being a swing vote, not a single vote was ever cast against me. My name was never an option. That combination—strategic positioning, social management, and challenge performance—is what I believe Survivor is about. I didn’t rely on one strength. I played a well-rounded game where every part supported the others. I had to adapt when trust was broken with me, and I made decisions to protect my path forward. But at every point, my goal was the same: keep my name off the parchment and keep my options open. I’m proud of how I played. If you value a game that combined control, consistency, and results—without ever being voted against—then I ask for your vote. Thank you.

I feel I played a dominant game. I was never in danger, I never had my name written down, and I won’t the most immunities. I positioned myself into a great spot between two alliances that got me here. I’m casting my final vote for the person I just don’t think I can beat. I’ll post a little speech later, but I hope there are no hard feelings and hopefully people can respect the dominant game that I played. Happy to answer and questions and address any concerns. I do believe I deserve to win this game.

not me forgetting to do immunity i-
