Rough Draft #1

Well, first I promise this won't be the novel that my opening speech was. What can I say? I'm kind of a talker. Or writer... Whatever. I know one thing though, I've learned so much from this game, whether it be about myself, other people, and the game of Survivor itself. No one can really take that away from me and I can't imagine a better experience for a first time player.

(place to respond to people's comments toward me)

As this game is now coming to a close, I feel very fortunate to be one of two to be able to play it to the end. I'm very proud of the way I've played, but it comes down to what you all think. I like the man sitting next to me and I don't want to take anything away from him or his game. However, I feel that I've played the BEST game that I could play and I battled nearly impossible odds to get here. I hope that I've earned your respect and in the end... your vote. We started this game long ago and among 32 people here in Siberia, I think that a combination of skill, strategy, motivation, heart, challenge dominance, likability, luck, and possibly fate have allowed me to emerge as the clear choice for sole Survivor.

Thanks everyone for making this such a memorable experience for all of us. I can't wait to meet you all on the other side of the mountain. Again.

Now, on to some things that you guys/girls have questioned:

By no means did I play a perfect game, but I played did play a damn good one. I've outlined many of my strategies for all of you to see. I rode ZERO coattails in this game, even when you all thought I did. I keep hearing how Frank made it this far despite being the only member of his original tribe. Well, that's cuz people like me carried him here. He only turned on me because I got complacent and Hunter told him to. I tried very hard to get him to change his mind even AFTER I started winning challenges, but at that point he was just waiting for someone to take him to the Final 2. It just happened to be me because I dominated this game for the last 5 challenges and Tribal Councils.

When everyone tries to get rid of you and you STILL don't get voted out, to me that is a true Survivor. I told you all I would be an open book tonight and I have been. I had nothing to hide. Frank may have tried to be open too, we'll never know. Did you ever think that maybe there wasn't anything there to be honest about?

Just look at what Jill asked? Frank apologized for voting for her. I admitted to WANTING to vote for her and then changing my vote last minute. I could have just said I voted for Ace and been done with it. But I told the truth. When it comes down to it though, I just wanted you all to bring it hard tonight. Especially Jamie because he promised to do so. So thanks brotha.
