Hey everyone 
first I want to thank you all for this great game
without all of you I wasn't going to be here in the final
here is how I played the game
in the beginning the first thing I thought of is that I must make an alliance with someone I can trust and someone I can take with me to the end
I talked to people in my tribe and I found that person,Candice
so I made an alliance with her
then I decided to work hard in the challenges in the beginning,especially the first challenge,because I still didn't know how people will vote
and I won the first challenge
then when we had to vote someone out,people were thinking Colby or Amanda
I really liked Amanda and was thinking to add her to the alliance
so I convinced people to vote Colby instead,and it worked
then we voted out Natalie because she was the least active
then next tribal the vote was me or Amanda,I liked her but if the vote was me or her of course I decided to get her out,so me and Candice talked to people and convinced them to vote Amanda,and she got voted out
then came the tribe swap,it was great that Candice stayed with me in the same tribe
at this time me and her were the swing votes,we had control,we could choose to side with Benry and Jeff (Thebes) or Kelly,Brenda and Brady (Karnak)
then we won immunity which gave us more time to think which side to choose
and when we lost the first name I heard was Brenda,so we decided to vote for her and we told everyone else that we heard her name,and she got voted out
then came the merge
then Kelly told me a lot of things
in the merge the tribe was split in 2,all original Thebes(except Candice) were lying to me saying they were voting Edgardo,when in fact they were planning to vote Candice
so Kelly was on our side and we added 3 people to vote with us
we voted Jenna,the others didn't vote together lol,some voted Edgardo and some voted Candice
then I had to lie to Sydney many times because I know she's with the other side,also Amanda showed up as a spy,tried to get info out of me but she couldn't lol
we had majority and that was great,the next tribal council is my favorite lol
we 6 voted Marty then at the last 30 minutes we changed our votes to Jeff
lmao Marty played a HII (sorry Marty
) which belonged to Sydney I guess and Jeff (Sorry Jeff) got voted out
the next tribal council Charlie played an idol rofl (sorry Charlie
)and we voted out Benry (sorry Benry but you also voted for me 
)
then I felt like Brady was trying to control us,he was telling us who to vote for,I didn't like that,and I told Candice about it,she didn't like it either
but Sydney was more threatening than him
so we decided to vote her out and took the chance
me,Candice,Kelly and Fabio voted Sydney
Sydney,Edgardo and Charlie voted Brady
and Brady voted Edgardo
so Sydney got voted out (not sorry
)
the next tribal council I couldn't vote because someone (looks at Charlie and Edgardo) gave me 2 cursed coins and I already had one
so it tied between Brady and Fabio twice and Brady got voted out because of past votes
then the tribal council after that 2 idols were played and we had to revote between me,Candice and Fabio
I would never vote for my closest ally no matter what,so I had to vote for Fabio,I had no choice (sorry Fabio
)
after that Edgardo started playing with my head
he tried to convince me to vote with him and Charlie
what he didn't know is that I am a very loyal person,no matter what he does I was never going to vote for Candice or Kelly
so we split our votes 2 Charlie and 1 Edgardo,and Charlie voted for Edgardo to save himself
then in the final challenge Candice won immunity and of course the 3 of us voted Charlie out
I played a Social/Strategic game,at the beginning I worked hard in the challenges when I felt I needed immunity,but after that I stopped working hard because I felt I didn't need immunity,so why make the others see me as a threat?,even in the final challenge I gave Candice an idea to help her win immunity,so I was nearly sure she'll win it and I was sure if anyone but Charlie wins,I will make it to the final
I made important decisions in the game that helped me get here
and again I want to thank you all for this great game,and thx Tom,Aras and all the PWS
you can ask me all the questions you like,I am a very honest person and I will answer them honestly just like I wrote this statement honestly
