Hi everyone,
Throughout this game, I played as hard as I could and with the help of the former Altamira tribe, I was fortunate enough to make it this far in this game, and that Guananico won less tribal immunities.
Sitting in the final 2 is a bit different than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be this wonderful feeling where I knew that I went as far as I could in this game. Then reality set in that only two people could sit in the final two, and now only one can win.
I'm not going to sit here and act like the parent who tells their child while spanking them, "This is hurting me more than it hurts you." I've been voted out before, and it's one of the worst feelings you can feel in these org games. But I do want to say the decisions I made were difficult in this game, and that I'm not a mindless cold-hearted survivor voting machine. Voting out Guananico may not have been as difficult because I didn't engage in conversation with anyone except Sandy from that side. The reason for that is that I did not want anything I said being used against me like was the case for JP, and if I get to know any Guananico members, the harder it is to vote them out. That's the reason for my "dead cat" personality. Maybe I should have realized that when I got to know my fellow Altamira tribe. Now, I'm not saying this so that I can get sympathy votes. I don't want any sympathy votes. What I hope the jury can give is empathy. Please look at this game from my point of view, and when talking to Lydia, please look at it from her point of view. Take a look at my accomplishments in this game, and take a look at Lydia's. Make the best decision, and I hope everyone will keep an open mind all the way through the closing statements.
