Well heres my opening post. I know what most of you think of me. Lets face it, I played the most strategic game. I'm responsible for everyone who went each eviction I took part but roger and hedi.I mae it all the way to the end without a single vote cast aginst me. I awalys thought that was weird because making through the game without any votes to evict me was mind boggling. Lets face it, the type of game I playe was cut throat. I manipulated every situtation I was in and still was concidered as the nicet person in each of the questioning challanges. I was aliged with everyone but rob and matt conditionally, setting conditions that I knew people will break therefore voiding our deal so I didn't have to be the one to break it.The only real alliance I had in this game was Christy and Roger and both will be really close to me for a while. I got a feeling that most of you will vote based on popularity and transparent reasons. But I am asking yo to put aside your personal feelings and vote based on who played the best game. Who played the most detailed oriented game, who played this game like chess and took out every threatning peice in order so I could get checkmate, who did better in ever challange, and who manipuate the whole game and played the most outright game. The answer to all these questions is me. I love christy, respect her gameplay, and I'm real happy shes in the finalswithme, but lets face it, she played a less social game, didn't fare that well at all in he challanges, and played a background game and dependedmore on me then sh did herself. I'm asking ou all to look past all your feelings towards me and to vote me to wn because the more pist a jurry is at someone, the more they didtheir job and deserve to win the game.

Ok, greetings all.
Well Well, I have no idea how I'll match up to Daniel's large opening statement, full of typos at the end there. But I'll try.
Well, I'm happy to be in the Final 2, and yeah as Daniel said, I played a behind the scenes social game. Some call it UTR, but lets face it, how many people in this game played similar? By not being too vocal out in the open. I could name quite a few.
Also, sure, Daniel was stronger than me in the challenges. But is that all this game is about? dominating in challenges. Hell, anyone can do that. Considering that I got here without winning a singal challenge shows that I was playing a strong social game.
Also, what Daniel fails to bring up is, sure I went with their allience, but without me, Daniel most likely wouldn't have gotten as far as he did.
I started this game on the outs of the girls honestly. I was aligned with Jenna and Shawna, but when tribe swap happened, me and Shawna felt on the outs. We both lost Jenna due to some bad luck Tribal swap and some purple stone.
So comes merge, and I meet up with Dave (aka Jake of Thailand)
In Thailand we discussed forming an allience next season. However, I stuck with Shawna, cause she was a part of my original allience.
Shawna came to me and told me about two groups of male alliences:
Group #1- Dave, Alex, Ryan
Group #2- Daniel, Roger
and appearently Rob was on the outs of the men, which seemed like it, since I heard when on Tambaqui of the guys thinking of voting him off if we had lost immunity.
So me and Shawna planned to get Rob in, with Heidi and target one of the two groups. We thought about getting Roger's group first, since Daniel seemed highly intelectual, and Roger was strong. Plus there was only 2 of them, and I had bonds with Dave.
However, Shawna comes to me, mentioning Rob's name coming up, and despite our hesitation, we wanted to go with the group to avoid standing out. Appearently this was a lie, and Shawna was ousted. Dan told me he was tricked into siding with Alex's allience, which I'm not sure if that was true, or if it was another chess strategy of his. He also mentioned Shawna's final request was for Dan to keep me safe. If that was also true or not is still up in the air, but I'm here so I guess it was.
So Shawna's gone, and me and Heidi feel on the outs, being the only girls left. This is where I was thinking about aligning with Dave's group. They were in majority, and we could take out Daniel easily. Roger was showing to be troublesome with his constant winning.
However, when Rob sent me some blackmail PM, I was taken back, I don't like being threatened. And this coming from someone that I felt I could align with to get to the end. So I sent it to Dave, Matt, Alex, and Heidi. The people I got to know.
But then Dave puts a public statement about it, and I started slapping my head, why Dave? cause I knew people wouldn't like that, and I didn't like it, and to not stand out, I went with majority.
Pretty soon my views of Dan and Roger changed, and they became my closest allies, showing they were loyal, honest, never lied, and always did what they said they would.
I also grew to like Heidi too. She was nice, and I knew I could get her to help out Dan and Roger. Which is why when she was voted off, I was a bit annoyed, cause when it came time for Ryan's elimination, we had to rely on Matthew, which I was risky about, cause he seemed friends with everyone, verse Heidi who I was close with and could get to vote with us.
So yeah, Dan was better in challenges, he may have talked to everyone more. Me, I've been in the minority this entire game. On Jaburu, I was in minority, on Tambaqui, being one of two girls, I was in minority. Going into the merge, of only 3 girls, I was STILL in minority. Even in my allience with Dan and Roger, I was STILL minority, cause face it, if the F3 was Dan, me and Roger, and Dan won, who would he have taken? Roger. and Roger would've done the same.
I've been in the minority this whole game, and to make Final 2, that has to say something. The last girl in the game in the Final 2.
That about sums up what I have to say. Sorry if it's a very long opening statement. I just couldn't stop typing lol

Okay so, first of all. Congratulations to both of you for making it this far. I will admit it myself I was not expecting this ending at all. But this is survivor, what can you expect?? ;D Daniel.....Hi  During the course of the game, it felt like you were a person to watch out in the merge, since u were always active, played hard in every immunity challenge, and somebody that didn't have a target on his back. Also, and correct me if I'm wrong but you were one of the few people that didn't switch alliances. That could probably be 2 reasons why I should vote for you. In this game, you do whatever it takes to win, you lie, betray and do whatever crazy thing that comes in your mind. You didn't have to do any of that. You proved to everyone you were someone who was making it to the end. I would like to know DANIEL.....If there was one move that you made in this game that you felt was wrong, what would it be and why?? Christy....Hi Practically I never got the chance to know you well until the merge, I knew from the start you were a person that would never betray or backstab anyone. You played an honest game and I could see that from the moment I met you. However, in that tribal council where you were in a tie with Ryan, it was obvious from that point on you were a target, not just because of the challenges, but because you are probably a person that many of us feel deserves the prize more, I mean you were on Jaburu, the losing tribe, and you survived that and made it to the merge, being proclaimed by many of the men as "Underdog", but you proved us wrong. So it's easy to say you dominate in this game. I would like to know however.......¿If Daniel had picken Alex instead, who would you give your vote to? Reply when you're ready |

Heidi is here!
First of all, congratulations to both of you on making it to the Final 2.
Christy, if you got to choose what place I came in, which would you choose and why?
Daniel, on a scale from 1-10, how smart am I?
Good luck you two!

Congratualtions to both of you for making final 2. I think you both played a good game. Originally when I was voted out I was going to vote for Daniel, but thinking about how you Christy was the underdog and had the odds against you, which meant you had to work harder to get here. I don't know how to vote right now. I feel Daniel had a really good game, minus pissing people off which he says is good strategy but when they determine your fate I disagree. So to help me decide I have the same question for both of you.
Do you think that the other person worked harder to get here than you? Why or why not? Good luck both of you.

If Daniel had picken Alex instead, who would you give your vote to? Hi Matt. I like your question. It's interesting  So if I had placed third. My vote honestly would've been a har one to earn. But based on what I know now, I'd honestly say I'd vote for Daniel, only because I knew most of the things he did strategically in the game. But this vote could've changed depending on what Alex's opening statement would be if he were in the final 2 instead of me. SO to summerize, I'd vote for Daniel based on that I know more of what he did strategically in the game than Alex. Thanks for the tough question Matt |

You proved to everyone you were someone who was making it to the end. I would like to know DANIEL.....If there was one move that you made in this game that you felt was wrong, what would it be and why?? Well I was waiting for this question and I'm happy to answer it. Through out the game I did practally align with everyone, I set conditions that I knew would be broken so I didn't have to lie. Was that dishonest in nature, yes since it was deception but the fact that I never was the one that broken any alliance due to the conditions I snuck in their It was justified. Now on to your real question, The biggest mistake I made in this game was with Shawna. She was origionally the first one in the game that I really liked and got a good read on and thoght we will make it far toghter. Prior to the week she was evicted I was sent some false information that made me believe that Shawna wasn't be honest to me. I then took action and sided with certain people that I never planed on siding with just do to plain and simple deception. The reason that I made sure your eviction stung the most ryan was the fact that you were one of the people to lie o me. I tried looking past it, bt once you lied to me a second time I took action. The eviction of Shawna played a major part in my gameplay since I made many moves to avange her eviction and I respected her final wish and looked after christy and nw she is i the final 3, if I voted out Christy over ryan which at the time I had the opprutunity to even though I didn't want to, the game will be a diffrent final 2. So Shawanas eviction played A major role in this game, just look at who's here with me the person I promised to shawana to keep safe |

Christy, if you got to choose what place I came in, which would you choose and why? Hey Heidi If I had to choose, I'd place you in the final 2 with me. Because I like competition, and not someone to get an easy win. You, like me, were an underdog this whole game like myself, both of us being on the loosing Jaburu tribe. Even in the merge both of us were underdogs. You were also always honest like myself. Therefore, being in the F2 with you would've been as far as I can see, an even match, which can make the F2 more fun I hope that answers your question Heidi |

Daniel, on a scale from 1-10, how smart am I? I would honestly have to 7. You are only 14 years old, but you act far older then your age, you made intellegent moves and you speak like your at least 18. The only reason I would rank you 7 is because at 14 you still have allot to learn in lif and I'm certain in 4 or 5 years you will be a perfect ten. Love ya question by the way  |
