Surprised I'm still in the game? Yes, I am. It's all thanks to the 50.5% of you who voted to save me!
Surprised I'm up? No, I am not.
For a while now, it's been tough losing the people you trust and work closely with. First tdan13, then brosky17, then Fredcrugar;it became easier and easier for the cast to put me up every other round to keep themselves safe for another day change. It's been hard to gain any leverage, but I've slowly gained some ground with every other round that I'm /not/ on the block.
I always join Stars at random, hoping to form new, lasting relationships that I can carry out through the game and afterwards. I am not an active member on Tengaged, and have never had anyone I could say had my back 100% - I had to put trust in people I barely knew. At this point in the game, we're down to the final six, and I cannot discredit anyone's game play. We have all made it to this point for a reason. I also definitely cannot say that I have played a perfect game by any means - far from it - but, I have rolled with the punches and played with the hand I was dealt.
Believe me when I say this, but after staying in the last poll, it lit a fire under me. I have not once thought that I would be able to survive the polls I was put into, and thus have never relied on my popularity. It might not seem like it, but I have worked endlessly, approached everyone and talked to them. I have been sincere with every person in the game and meant every word I said - game play aside.
This truly has been an arduous yet fulfilling journey. It's both an underdog story and a dream come true. All I'm missing is that fairytale ending, right?
I hope you, Tengaged, still believe I can turn this game around and win it. I appreciate any and all saves =) No matter what, I will keep my positive disposition and be proud of the way I carried myself through the game. Good luck, Daniel!
