Hello, all you wonderful folks!

Before anything else I just wanna say thanks to all of you guys for making this such an awesome experience. You guys were all wonderful to get to know, and I loved talkin to everybody that I met. There were a lot of GREAT players here and it made the game alot of fun to a part of, even though it was scary as all get out a lot of times! Also I wanna say thanks to Ted and Amanda and Ghandia. You guys put so much work into this and it was a really great season, so thank you so much.

I don't wanna say too much about my game or my alliances here in my opening, 'cause Id like to fully explain myself in your guys's questions, but here's kind of a brief explanation.

I came into the game wanting to do well, and kinda redeem how bad I did the last time I tried to play this series. So I played as strong as I could, as smart as I could and as nice as I could. I gave my all in the challenges, the tribal ones and the individuals, even though I knew it might get me targeted for threat reasons. I also worked to try and make bonds with people, sometimes it was for alliance stuff, but other times it was just because I liked the person and wanted to get to know them even if we were on diffrent sides. But my game wasnt perfect, and I will totally admit that. I dont like lying to people, so I tried to play a clean game and not hurt anybody, but there were a lot of times where I got put in positions that meant I had to lie or change plans on people to survive, and that sucked.

I hooked up with David Shane Katie and Kim pretty early on, we had a good bond and we did a lot of strategy stuff together, pooling our information and stuff like that. But even though I had that solid alliance, I didnt let it rule me. I was never just sittin back and letting them tell me what to do. I was out talking to people, figuring out where votes were going and who targets were, and trying to change people's minds to make sure that the right people went home. That way I had a lot of info coming to me and I could choose how to use it best for myself and for my allies.

I really enjoyed playing together with you guys, and getting to know you all both in and out of the game. This was a seriously epic cast, and youre all fascinating people. I can't wait to answer your guys' questions, and I hope that I can prove that I played a good enough game to deserve your votes.

Thanks everyone!!
