Coming into this game I had 4 main alliance members, 3 made the merge. Im not going to lie, without them I would be one of the first few in the jury, but I made alliances and I am proud of that. I won a few Immunities(like 3?) and found all of the hidden idols but I could only hold one, so I had to give them to Brit and Renny as I diddnt want them to be found. I was sad when Brit left because It was me and Renny against the world, we had targets on our back the whole game, but I made it here.

My Favorite moment in the game is when I gave my Idol to softball and saved her, and frosti was eliminated, I felt like a hero for a day.

I loved playing this game with each of you.

I played this game hard won Immunities and was ruthless when needed be, I loved every second of it I I hope you vote for me, and not Liz or Jason because they floated.

Hey guys,
I have to say I am honestly floored that I am sitting here in the Final 3. Elizabeth and I made a plan to get here, but we weren't sure it would work at all. I know Katie is going to paint both Liz and I as floaters and that she was this grand master strategist that did all this amazing stuff in the game. But honestly Katie has no idea what Liz OR I did because she never spoke to us, wasn't aligned with us and didn't know a thing about us. So its very easy for her to paint what we did as "floating" or "not worthy".

I will say this...I got just as far as Katie without finding 17 immunity Idols, and only winning one immunity. I had a very hard time figuring this game out. It seemed like at every turn things were happening that would benefit certain people and at one point the host even said that they had an amazing program that scans images to see if they have been altered so he can tell if scores had been changed...which is absolutely false. I am a stranger in this community and was pretty much treated that way through the whole game (not by everyone by any means, love you allies!!), but yet I sit in the same spot as Katie and Liz right now and I think I at least deserve your consideration. Thanks so much and I'll try and be shorter with the question answers.

[Elizabeth]

Hi guys,

I came into this game, not really wanting to play, but then I thought "What the heck, I'll play anyway". I was mostly inactive and quiet throughout this game. All I wanted to know was how far I could get doing just the bare minimum. And lookie here, I made the finals. Shockingly. lol.

GL Jason and Katie in the questioning!
