Hi everyone.
First I want to thank everyone here, the mods and contestants. This season was truly epic! Full of crazy tribals, blindsides and amazing players. I’m glad I was a part of it. Plus I want to thank Szymon, because he convinced me to play in this season. Thanks to all of you one more time!
I think I can say that I have learned a lot from my previous seasons. I’ve made a lot of moves, I did a good job in challenges but at the same time I was trying to not be challenge beast. It was one of main reasons for my eliminations in both Switzerland and Revival. Here I also want to point out that I survived a lot tribals without individual immunity. I think it’s good argument because it proves I was able to avoid elimination several times even without this precious necklace. Yes, I know that some of you targeted me several times :]
Also I played great social game. Maybe I have sclerosis but I don’t remember even one arguement with any of you. Why? Because I was not really playing this game? No! Because I know how to talk to people. I know how to convince them and I used those skills completely. But at the same time I didn’t act like someone different. I was myself and being nice was not my strategy. It’s my character, but yeah, it did help me a lot too.
Pre-merge
I started this game as a member of probably the strongest tribe this wiki has ever seen – Salto. We lost only one immunity challenge which is amazing accomplishment. I formed a lot of alliances quickly, but my main alliance was Will, Mike, Sinjoh and Perry. Unfortunately we didn’t stay together at first tribal and Mike was voted out. And this tribal opened my eyes completely. I knew that I needed more connections in Pantera so I formed alliance with Maya. I trusted her and we felt good together.
Several tribals later I started talking to Richie. We built strong bond quickly and we decided to stick together after the merge. The plan included me, Richie, Maya, Tyler M., Will and Jake. And then double tribal appeared… It was hard for me, because I knew I would lose two of my allies. When I lost hope that Salto alliance will vote against someone other than my ally, I knew I could do only one thing. I could vote for one of them, pray that abduction island is still in use and merge won’t come yet. Of course what happened next? Merge! No abduction island.
Post-merge
My alliance was down in numbers so I was really happy when I heard about Salto’s plan. First post-merge tribal was pretty much a no-brainer, but I knew that it’s time to make a move at second post-merge tribal since we found out that Salto wants to vote for Jake. I knew about Tyler’s idol. The only thing left to decide was our target. I wanted to vote for Ahad, because I knew what a smart and clever person he is (yes, now you can kill me Ahad ;-;). Suddenly Zach came to me and he said that he wants to flip and vote against Kevin. That was not such a bad idea for me, but it could be a trap so we stood with first plan. My idea worked perfectly. However I felt bad for Ahad as I said in Rites of Passage.
I think that was culmination of the whole season so I wanted to show how it worked. After Ahad’s elimination I helped Richie to find Hidden Immunity Idol. We found it (I think) mainly because we could guess two times more answers.
After Tyler M. went out I realized this whole season will be totally crazy. I was very excited although we lost one of our numbers. But I knew panic wouldn't help me at all.
I was the person who found out about bond between Perry and Jake. It was suspicious so I was trying to divide this duo. Jake went home and his ally Perry after him. And five of us left. It was pretty clear divide: an alliance of me, Richie, Kevin and Togz versus Zach who was alone. Richie still had his idol, I did my best in the challenge won so our duo had a guaranteed final 4. I knew the next one to go should be Kevin and I came up with that idea. I talked to Zach about it and everything was ready. It worked but it also left not-so-awesome memories since betraying allies is not my strongest weapon. Final 4… my record. I did my very best in last challenge. Well I didn’t win but I’m still here with a healthy dose of self-confidence and a lot of hope.
Okay let’s finish this speech… Some of you told me that I will never win against Richie at the final tribal council. I proved you that I was arranger of the most of the moves, not two guys sitting next to me. I was a person who always was trying to keep alliance calm. I worked my position from the bottom to the top without riding someone’s coattails but with my social and strategic skills. And here I am on the top and hopefully I won’t fall down this tribal. I was more honest, more influential and I hope you’re not blind and you saw everything. I think I deserve to win the most.
I’m ready for bitter speeches, I’m ready for hate. I can take it. I just want to say that I have nothing against any of you and I will fight for every single jury vote. Even if you’ve already made your decision. Dziękuję, danke, thanks, merci.
