Hey jury. I just want to start off by saying that making it to the finals was not an easy journey. I started this game and realized that I was getting myself into a different situation then what I had done in the past group games I have taken a part of. I saw that I was playing with people that I have interacted with before and also players that were brand new in my eyes, but not with anyone else. When the tribes first formed, I ended up getting into an alliance with Ice, Tadds, Sporty and Peaches. Since we did label ourselves as the toughest women of Cuzcatlan. Not much strategy and moves were really planned out, due to the fact that we dominated challenge after challenge. So obviously none of us had to worry about big blindsides before merge even began.
When merge did happen, I knew my game had to change completely. I always wanted to try to be the player that was always so friendly with everyone. The kind of player that does not create any tension. I couldn't do that this time, because thats exactly how I always ended up getting eliminated in games like this. I had to play with my mind and not my heart. I knew it was gonna be a tough challenge in my eyes. Only due to the fact that I never would play like that anywhere else in this game.
After Austin won that challenge in the start of the merge, I knew I had to think of a plan to ensure my own safety. You never know when you're gonna be the next target or just make yourself the minority of the merge. So that is why Ice is sitting where she is. If I had not pointed some stuff out to the other players in this game, she would still be here and I would probably be in jury. After that move was made, it was game on.
When Tadds took her first and only win of the season. I suggested that maybe we needed to take the oppurtunity to vote out all of the possible threat and hope for the best. So the five remaining did come together on an agreement from here on out, the women are sticking together and voting out the men. It ended up working for the next three tribals. Right until Ofl ended up winning immunity in the final six. Which did leave me in a torn position. But in the end, Girls was voted out. Only because I felt more loyalty in Tadds and Peaches.
When the final five challenge was over and I won individual immunity, it did seem obvious that Ofl was gonna get voted out. That was the only vote that I was not expecting to see happen. That's why you see Tadds sitting where she is. Then when Ofl ended winning in the final four, I knew right there that my name was gonna get put down. Ofl and Sporty clearly did see me as competition and wanted me out. But then I did recieve another chance to survive by participating in the tiebreaker. I ended up beating Sporty and she was sent to jury. I will admit, that was the only time where I felt like my game was over. Since I never did a tiebreaker before. But I guess there is always a first for everything.
Then Smiley announces we were having a final two this season. This urge to win was of course there. It was my last chance to take out my biggest competition or face the fact that I was gonna head into jury. I ended up dominating the challenge and securing my spot in the end. Therefore watching Ofl take 3rd. All the tension was finally gone and I knew this was gonna be a decent final tribal council.
To the jury, I know I made a lot of moves in this game that no one expected me to make. For those of you that felt seriously hurt and betrayed by the actions that I made, I want to apologize for that. However, I can not apologize for playing the game. If I had not made moves in this game like I did, I would have been voted out a long time ago. I kept my focus on the game and made sure that I got to the very end of this season. I won two individual immunity challenges and survived a tiebreaker in final four. I kept my guard up no matter what the situation was. I never gave up, even though Girls, Tadds and Sporty was voted out. I
