Hey everyone! I'm very honored to have it made it this far in the game, and all of you were fantastic to play with, and I'm fine with however this vote turns out, but I do feel like I deserve the win way more than Wall-E, no matter what you think of me.

It all started back on the first day. I logged on, and Ami was there. Catwoman and Tory quickly filed in. We talked, and Ami brings up to me "Don't you think it would be awesome if all 4 of us were just an alliance? The first 4 here?" We all liked each other, so I agreed. Of course, Jerri arrived and after a while it was clearly split down the middle. We all know what happened with Marlon going and Jerri immediately going into isolation. And Ami just got MORE and MORE overbearing. I knew that if I stuck with her, I'd make the merge, but surely we'd be abanded by any remaining tribe mates and have no chance of picking anyone up. So I made a conscious decision to informally ally myself with Jane/Cube/Moz, which was quickly solidified. Jane was taken out way before her time, and the Lucky 7s got through the game, getting a bit lucky with Sarah not being at the TC after the swap and all of us ending up together. Then I got my GS Ball, Tory left, and then Catwoman sadly had to leave.

The merge is really when I realized I had to look out for myself. I did not want to get fucked, and ALL of us wanted to win. Kimberly left surprisingly, and this is when I really tried to improve my social standing in the game. Wall-E and his crew figured I had the idol because Cat told them she didn't find anything, and they knew Ami was voted out with it. They didn't know how it worked, though(Only Moz did, Cube learned around Monty's boot) and tried to flush it out. But I needed to make sure I had relationships in case shit went down. I don't know if any of you particularly liked me, but we talked, and you guys were nice, and glad you guys didn't shut me down.

Mileena departed next. Everything went smoothly this round, but for some reason she REALLY started pushing for Monty like 10 minutes before the voting deadline. This is where I first got nervous about my position within the alliance, but all was smoothed over quickly. That whole 'Oh, I already voted, I thought it was solid. Sorry!' comment really hushes down any kind of last minute switch, doesn't it? Monty seemed to be going next He was definitely a free spirit in this game, which is what made him such a threat. I would've preferred the challenge powerhouse named Wall-E to go, but realized it was to risky to keep him in the game, so I made sure he left. And now, that round.

I think people wondered what I was thinking that round, but we ALL wanted to win, didn't we? Reba and Jerri weren't just gonna give up and die if we all made F5 together, and they would've tried to work over either Cube or Moz. Moz said he had no plans to, and I know he didn't, but anything can happen. He said it himself, he made a lot of people 'hate' him(Even though I honestly believe he would've defeated me if I wasn't such an idiot in that challenge, won, and taken him). I approached Wall-E and Diane, and set up the boot for Jerri.

You see, at this point at the game there were clearly defined pairs, at least in my eyes, and me without a F2 partner.
Reba/Jerri(The two 'returning' players, who people may have seen as goats, beat chance to win was against each other)
Moz/Cube(Moz always had Cube wrapped around his finger, and I've been trying to tug at it all game)
Diane/Wall-E(Duh.)

I REALLY needed to break those pairs up, and at least two needed to be separated before F5. So, Jerri had to go. I know she didn't like it, but it made my standing a hell of a lot better in the game, gave me more options and made anyone's plans that were deviating back to the original plan. My GS Ball was public knowledge at this point, so I always had that. I smoothed things over with Moz in exile, and then Cube went. I didn't like it, but I was planning on getting him out at F5 anyway, because he was SUCH a huge jury threat and sort of unpredictable. I really didn't calculate Wall-E going on his challenge streak, which sucks, but I won the tiebreaker challenge after Diane left and we all know how things went.

Now, I really think I deserve to win because I got to the F2 with strategy and social skills. My two challenge wins...I didn't NEED them, I would've been perfectly fine without them. I only won them to prevent others from getting it. And my GS Ball, sure it made people scared to vote for me after it became public knowledge and how it works was announced, but I really didn't need it. Now, Wall-E...He was a great talker, but he never truly influenced me, and he wouldn't be here if he didn't win challenge. I understand that you, Jerri, harbor sour feelings to me and said you want him to win, but I don't think someone who needs challenges to win deserves to win. Mileena, Diane, and Morty...at least one of you thinks I'm :boring:, and you were on Wall-E's original tribe, but can I at least ask you to here me out during this final tribal council? Cube, Moz, and Reba, you were great allies during this game and I can't wait for your speeches, even if for some reason you harbor ill will towards me.

Thank you! And good luck to Wall-E!

Hey guys. It's been a crazy, fast-paced game, and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I have. I'm thrilled to be here, so I'll cut the crap now and start explaining why I think you should vote for me to win.

My strategy was, at all times, to put myself in the safest possible position where I'd have the best shot at making it long-term in the game. My original strategy was just to keep Emy together with Kimberly as my final two partner and Diane, Mileena, and Sarah as the members from Emy we got along best with and wanted to keep with us long-term. That fell apart when Kimberly and Sarah went to Jer with Sarah being voted out and Kimberly returning to Emy almost inactive. At that point, my main loyalties switched to Diane and Mileena. We thought we'd enter the merge with a 5-4 advantage, but Reba (primarily Janeane) returned and made the numbers 5-5. We tried to swap Jerri, but with Kimberly not showing up and self-voting and with Monty being a question mark for everyone, we were forced to send Kimberly home since we didn't have the numbers and didn't want to unnecessarily stir anything up. Then Jerri didn't come through and vote for Morrissey at final 9 with the 4 Emy members and Mileena went home, so my chances of making it this far looked highly improbable.

I was uncertain if Jerri would force a 4-4 tie with me, Diane, and Monty at final 8 and also didn't know if Monty could beat Cube in a tiebreaker, so I approached Cube to see what my chances were and reached an agreement with him where I'd go to the final 4 with him, Foxxy, and Morrissey. This was a security cushion for me to try to figure out a way to further split Jer, and I was able to do that when Morrissey disagreed with keeping me in the game against Cube and Foxxy's wishes. At final 8, I just voted for Monty to show my loyalty to Cube and Foxxy. Then I was able to turn Foxxy against Morrissey to target Jerri with Diane at final 7. I turned what should have been me going home 4-3 or being tied to go home 3-3-1 into a 3-2-1-1 vote. At final 6, I worked with Reba (who had two votes) and Diane to take out Cube and shock Foxxy and Morrissey when they came back from exile in the Masturbatorium planning to take me out and wasting Morrissey's Masterball. From final 5 to final 3, I won (with help from hours of board archiving and organizing information before-hand) the 3 key challenges necessary to stay in the game and make finals.

So, I think that you should vote for me to win because I overcame improbable odds to get to this point, am the last remaining member of original Emy Tribe, and reduced Jer from an easy majority to just one player. I did this through a combination of social game (trying to talk to as many people as possible and keeping them open as potential allies so that they didn't want to target me like they did Mileena at final 9 and Monty at final 8), strategy (saving myself from being voted out by working with different allies at final 7 and final 6) and then winning 3 challenges. If those rounds wouldn't have worked like they did, I had plans and backup plans like fake Masturbatorium prizes prepared (including an Anti-Immunization Dart and a Safari Ball) and unlikely but possible allies that I could have utilized in the final rounds. Foxxy even said that at final 7 when Jerri left, she would have considered using her GS Ball Idol (a Yul-style idol used after the vote) to force a re-vote and send Cube home if Cube would have self-voted and the vote would've been 3-3-1. initially Not all of the backup plans, like increasing paranoia if I was vulnerable final 5 with fake Masturbatorium prizes, forcing a tie with Reba at final 4 if I wasn't immune, and being taken to the finals by Foxxy if she would have won the last challenge would have worked, but I did my best at making plans and backup plans with the resources that I had available.

There were a lot of little strategic things that I did like making sure the early votes at Emy were safe in case someone used the Pokeball, using the Greatball to increase my security cushion after the tribe swaps, using my Masterball on Catwoman before the merge to help Emy enter it 5-4, figuring out with help of Diane’s death phone that Foxxy likely had the idol and coming up with a plan to try to flush it. Feel free to ask me about any round, anything that I did, and I’ll answer honestly and clear up any uncertainties that you may have. Or ask me to do something creative...whatever works for you. :)

Now bring on the questions.

Yippee! Hey guys! I have missed talking to both of you. I am happy to say that the best people did make it to the end. ^_^ Anyways, I'm going to cut to the chase and ask my questions!

OK, Foxxy, if you were on a dream date with Spinda, what would you guys do? <3 ^_^

And, Wallz, lets say.... Both Spinda and I were falling from a building, but you had time to save just one of us, who would that be, and why?


PS: Can I say follow up questions?
