Hello Jurors. I would like to start off by thanking all of you for making me work hard and play to the best of my ability. Anyways I will describe my strategy thru the whole game because I am pretty sure everyone has doubts about it.
I came into the game sort of being new in the series...I was on Borneo and those of you who signed up know what happened...anyways. During the tribal time of the game my only strategy was to work hard and show my tribe that I should be kept here regardless. I worked hard every challenge. I talked to the active people in the tribe as there was no real point in talking to inactives. I sort of kept contact with most of them especially during tribal councils. I made sure I was always filled in the vote and as well put my input on it. I easily made merger by being a tribe player. At merger the other tribe was outnumbered. I remember Robert saying how all of us should stick together and we would be Top 6. Now Robert had good communication with everyone on the tribe and he was basically running the show...I'm never a follower. So I thought I'd join the other tribe but it didn't work out because they were inactive so I couldn't count on that. I decided to stick with my original tribe till Final 6 and I was hoping I'd pull some deals to get me a bit further. I saw Robert's AIM and I knew who he was from another series so I told him my AIM and such in hopes of getting information of what is really going on. He offered me a Final 2 deal so I agreed even thought I didn't have real intentions to do it. It's not smart to reject a Final 2 deal because you never know if the person might just rally all out for you for saying no...almost at the same time Gabriel also offered me 1. I also agreed but I never planned to keep it once again. I studied the alliance and how things were moving and I saw that Zoe & John we're pretty much powerless players. I also learned Kathy was 125% loyal to Robert. So sticking with Robert might not have been a good idea for me at the Final 3...either way; my power moves started around Final 6-Final 7 when Gabriel stated he wanted Robert out. I immediately told Robert. That way a target was off me for sure and the game would come down to Robert vs. Gabriel. During the remainder of the game I'd say it was a power struggle between Robert vs. Gabriel but I was right in between. Zoe was on Gabriel's side. And Kathy was on Robert's side. I went of the challenge stronger side aka Robert/Kathy duo and got them out back to back. At Final 3 I thought my only competition was Gabriel. So I easily won the final challenge and voted out Gabriel who might have been a tough competition for the finale. I brought Zoe here because I think she hasn't given her 125% like I have and she hasn't done any strategic moves. I hope this is enough to convince you all...I am ready for any question, jury.
