Well…I told somebody that my style of play would catch up with me eventually…and I figured it would be sooner, rather than later. I played hard, fast and even ugly. I said some terrible things about some of you, and sometimes I was a complete bitch. I hope that nobody took anything I said to heart, and realized that I was simply in game mode. I wish the other 15 players all the best, and I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the reunion.

I’m not surprised to be standing here at all. The Sato’s would have been complete idiots to keep me around at this point, and I don’t blame them one bit for giving me my walking papers. In fact, it proves to me that they deserve to still be in the game.

I made some great plays in this game…masterminding the Angels Alliance…framing Dani…surviving the switch…framing Henry…setting up Dave…I was an awesome performer in challenges…**laughs**…when I wanted to be… I’m truly proud of my place in this game, despite not being on the winning end of things. I’m controlled the game for awhile, and that is a good feeling to walk away with.

I made three critical mistakes in this game, and sadly – two of them were the same mistake. **shakes head and smiles** The first was when I informed Dani about the Anti-Boys Alliance. For reasons I will never quite understand, she ran right to them, and I had to go into major damage control mode. Shockingly, I survived unscathed…but you’d think that I would have learned my lesson. Unfortunately, I didn’t and I told Lance about my plans for Amy.

My third critical mistake was throwing the challenge…but it was incredibly important to me at that point to make sure that Michelle & Emma were not put in a dangerous situation. I really couldn’t see an endgame without all of the Angels standing. I had no interest in making deals with Amy, Beth, Lance, Matt, Ryan or Mike. So, I opted to try and control the vote from my end of the island. It obviously didn’t work, and here I am.

This game was harder than I ever could have imagined…strategically, psychologically, emotionally. I’m sure there are people out there who want to laugh at how seriously we all took it…but you really won’t understand until you’re in the game. It’s rough! But, I’d do it all again in a second.

It’s been a wild ride out here, and I think I performed pretty phenomenally in general, with two bobbles that cost me the game. In my heart of hearts, I hope Michelle, Emma or Jones takes this to the end. My only regret about not making the Jury is that I won’t be able to give them a vote for the win…
