Hello guys!

It's been a while now. Don't be mad at me because I voted you out because it's part of the game. I want you to judge me on how I play the game vs. how Stacy played the game. I think in this game we have to take some risks and I think I took some, but they paid. My job in my alliance was to deceide with the others who goes and I wanted everybody to feel comfortable in the alliance. I wanted to talk to everybody myself before each tribal council so people won't have the idea to flip or anything. I knew some people were trying to make other deals behind my back and this is exactly why I've made smaller deals in my alliance. First the final 3 with Eliza and Stacy and second a final 2 with Stacy. My hardest vote was probably Michelle, she and I sticked together since the beginning. I knew that Brady and Eliza had a deal together and if it comes to the 3 of us I was the odd man out. So I made a deal with Michelle just to secure myself so if Atoka happens to be down to four we would have forced a tie and see who goes and who stays. I really don't know why you flipped on us. You were my initial final 2 deal. Stacy was only my plan B. Maybe you knew somebody else from the other alliance outside of the game or something, but I can guarante you that if you stayed loyal to our alliance you would be sitting beside me instead of Stacy. After all the votes were cast on who's with us and who's not. It was easy but kind of sad in the same time because I knew some people from the minority and I knew there were great players. But I had to stay loyal to the people who I had deal with. My plan wasn't lying to everybody, it was just making deal to insure myself another step closer, making deals into the alliance so when it comes to us I would be safe. I know that some of you may say that I,m here only because of immunities, maybe, maybe not. The only immunity I feel I really needed was the final 4. Or at least I or Stacy has to have it because after it would be a tie-breaker, but then again I would still be here because Yau has a lot of previous votes, more then I. One of my move was who's going home at the final 4. It came down to Eliza and Yau. I told Stacy Yau was more threatening and I don't know why, but she believed me. Eliza was way better in challenges, but this is not why I voted out Yau. I did it just because I knew that Stacy had more chances to win against him then me and I really didn't want her to flip. So I deceided the he needs to go so if she has won the last immunity challenge she would kept her word and took me to the final 2 with her. Since Yau is out I didn't stop to tell Stacy how Eliza is dangerous and how she has a lot of friends on the jury (is it true? I don't know) So this is what get me here. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Good luck Stacy
