Thank you for giving at least partial credit for the moves I made, it means a lot to me. I think it's important to note that there were gigantic players this season, between five veterans coming back, as well as physical and social threats as Aaron and Ally. However, these same people were the ones who had their name thrown around as the vote every time for being jury threats in the end. That is because they made their moves TOO known. After seeing Aaron win challenge after challenge, and have power with the idol, people caught on that he would've kicked all of our asses in the final. Everyone knew that Ally was too likable to take to the end because she would win hands down. The five veterans already had a target on their back just for the aspect of being veterans. All of these people were on the chopping block ahead of me, and it didn't make sense to me to say "If you think these guys are dangerous, watch what I'm about to do". I tried to make moves to where at least a couple people would recognize "Hey, that was a good move made by Nathan" instead of everyone realizing "Oh shit, Nathan's made a move, and if we go to the end with him he will for sure beat us." Thank you for your question, Gabe. Love ya buddy.

My goal wasn't to talk down my fellow finalists, but to seperate them from myself. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, that's not my intention. Have myself and Nathan got heated? yes. Has that affected how I see him? definitely.

My problems are clear, I wasn't the nicest person in the game and I agree with that. I said it in my speech, I was a bit of an asshole at times and I took a lot of blame for many of the moves that were made. I could've been nicer and it's easy to nitpick on my mistakes because I take my game very seriously. I think the people I got close to such as Asa and Jennifer don't see me in the way the rest of the jury does because I was able to open up to them. They got beyond the face value of my personality. 

I think Nathan played alright, he got to the end which already warrants a congratulations. He had a very strong physical game and he should be very proud of that. I think he tried with the social aspects and when people made the attempt to get close to him he returned that favor. I was never very close with him so I know virtually nothing about his game until Myself and Jennifer roped him into a Final 3, in which he worked in tandem with us.

Imo, Jennifer played an okay UTR game, She and I were very close so it's easy for me to see the good in her game versus people that know nothing about what our plans were. She helped me in a lot of strategic decisions I made and we both worked together to make the Final 3 that got us here. I also think she didn't upset anyone which i'm slightly jealous of :P

On a personal note, I hope we can get past what this game did to our friendship. The intensity I put into my gameplay is the intensity I had in my personality which isn't a good combination. I was intense all the time, 150%, and I can understand where things went wrong.

Thanks for the questions Gabe. 

Hi Gabe

I don't deny that I rode aaron and ally's coat tail but I did that for strategic purposes. I saw them as big threats so I had them as my shields so they could get the votes and also I do like to ride things 😏

Anywhooos, to answer your questions, I was willing to vote you out because you were at the time the one who I spoke to the least and that worried me because people has said you're a great guy so you immediately became a social threat.

I did have an alliance of 4, it was myself aaron, ally and Nathan and during that tribal council you went home, my alliance wanted to vote Shea even after I mentioned to them that I saw you as a threat. They didn't like the idea and said we could get you out further down the track, so I made my own move against them and found 3 people who were willing to vote you out. You were in my eyes the person playing both alliances, the Tom alliance and the Ally/aaron alliance, so I thought screw it I want to be the middle person. My intuition was right when the results came out and you voted against my alliance who were clearly on your side. Not only did I take a strong player out, I also saved my alliance from being pagonged.

I would have done everything I could to have you voted out that night because now the alliance knew you were against us, they would have voted you out on a tie breaker.

The shitty thing about us is that we never really talked strategy which is why you never saw my game play and considered me a coat tail rider even right to the end.

Thanks for being part of this season✌🏻

Alright, Jennifer, you have garnered a lot of respect from me tonight. I am genuinley sorry if I've treated you woth any disrespect, you deserve to be here just as much as Nate and Shea.

Shea, I am over our personal issues and that'll have no effect on my vote. What will however is you saying you didn't get a chance to know Nathan well despite being aligned (weither it real or fake) flr most of the game.

Nathan, I love you man, even if we didn't get to talk too much, I am very proud of you and wish you luck. Love you :)
