I have to start off by saying thanks to the host for a fun, challenging, and dramatic game. I can say that I've been on every end of the emotional spectrum during this game...I've been through the extreme lows of Bossa where we did nothing but lose and through the highs of joining Sparrow and winning our first challenge and the elation of getting through each round of this game with two people who I allied with during the first round. I think, for me, it's important that the jury realize how low morale was on Bossa when everyone else had done nothing but win. We really didn't see much light at the end of the tunnel and were practically saying our goodbyes after Charlie left, but the three of us formed a bond that didn't break the entire game and worked together and got to this point in (as far as I'm concerned) equal fashion.
This is my first game back after more than a year and a half of not playing, and I came in not knowing a soul and I've met some really cool people and had fun along the way. I know this is a very unhappy jury and I think more than a few of the members of the jury feel like they were used, abused, or lied to at some point. Personally, my strategy was to be as lighthearted and humorous as possible to make this game fun and to treat everyone with as much honesty as I could without letting them know how close I was to Jeff and Aras.
Cirie started out last it out tonight by pushing forward the fact that I'm "the weak one" and the one who "rode Jeff and Aras' coattails". I agree to a point - Jeff and Aras were definitely less concerned about being 'humane' to the people we 'used' than I was. I tried to get to know some of you that I clicked with and I went out of my way to be as honest with you as possible. Of course I held back the truth about how close I was with Jeff and Aras, but wouldn't you have, too? I legitimately thought out every single plan that someone proposed to me, and if it made any sense to me at all, then I did it. I proposed plans myself that were implemented, and I hope people realize that just because I wasn't the most forward and openly strategic player, I did play this game with a lot of strategy and WAS behind some of the major moves that were made in this game. I think Jeff and Aras will both tell you that from day one I have been nothing but helpful to this group and that I'm an extremely capable player. I sat back and played dumb in this game more than I ever have, and that's because the big targets in this game (Tom, Ozzy, Debbie) stood out in the crowd and showed their strength. I felt like it was in my best interests to do what I had do to and nothing more.
I think that's all. I wanted make it a lot shorter than this but you know how it goes. Jury, I know you're not all that happy to be here and voting for one of us to win because we didn't honestly do any favors for any of you...so I'm not about to do any ass kissing. But I do sometimes have a bit of a daddy fetish so if anyone wants their ass spanked, let me know
