You know, just because I can (and will) reply to this.

"On Day 1, he turned on his majority alliance the first chance he got by saying he wanted Brandon out instead of Noah. As a result, he was kicked out. He then berated that alliance since they had the power and hurt his social game."

I didn't turn on my majority alliance. Turning on it would've meant voting one of them out. Brandon nor Noah were in the majority alliance at the time and the other was going home the next tribal. I still planned on sticking with them after the vote. But for the good of the tribe (since we had been failing the challenge department) I thought Noah was the better option to stay. I didn't berate them about the vote, I was trying to explain why Brandon was the better option. My plan during that vote was to keep the tribe strong. I think we can all agree this game would've run a little smoother if Brandon's inactivity was gone after the first Arawak Tribal Council.

''Sure, Alex had two idols, but he flaunted them and created a target on himself throughout the merge. He even wasted his special idol! Although, that's kinda my fault since I told him he was a target that vote.''

The plan was to make it aware I had the Arawak Idol. It was Luke that told people I had the special one. I didn't play my idol just because you told me I was the target. I was aware of the failed split vote that was going to occur. I just knew no matter what happened I was playing the idol. I didn't care if the idol didn't matter. It helped me to take a target off of my back as well. A guy with 3 idols is a lot worse than a guy with one idol.

''Alex then looked to me and trusted me... for about two votes and believed what he heard and made it obvious he didn't like me. After the Luke vote, Alex thought Sam voted with him instead of me. Alex is an emotional player and let that control his game. He didn't focus on taking out targets, but taking out the people he didn't like which is terrible jury management.''

I didn't believe what I heard, like at all. I believed what I saw. You and Sam both sent me proof of you saving me. I didn't know who voted with me and it was killing me. I thought Sam gave a more convincing argument to, as I found out later, obviously fool me. I wasn't being emotional at all. I've had people vote me before it's not a big deal. If someone tried to get me out with the intention of sending me home, I have to decide who to trust. Which is why I trusted Sam. I realized my mistake and made it up to you (I had thought). I didn't let my emotions run anything. I kept thinking about what was better to get me further.

I've given actual evidence as proof that I am better while Alex can only say "I think I played better than Augusto".

I've only been saying that because I've done enough berating to think that "oh hey, maybe I shouldn't open my jury speech by talking down someone for 50% of it." If you want me to, I can easily go down the list.

I think you're over-exaggerating a ton of your 'moves" to put it frank. You talk about practically ordering me to play my idols... both times. You said I didn't need to play it the second time when uh... the vote was 3-3 and I would've gone in a revote point blank.

You may think that a lot of the votes depended on you. But really, something I noticed during the F4 tribal and from Andrew, a lot of people just considered you as a 'vote'. While it may not be true, that perception doesn't help you a lot. You talk about being the driving force behind getting Luke out which isn't really true. Whilst you may have mentioned it, that's really all you did. I spent a lot of time talking with Sam, who knew Luke was a threat and Andrew who knew the same. I did a lot of work trying to get Luke out. You didn't turn us against eachother. Saying that he told everyone about my idol doesn't do much. I already was wary of Luke and knew he was trying to get me out. You obviously weren't a driving force behind that because he would've stayed had I not played the idol. I think Shirin said it best (paraphrasing). If you can't influence someone to make a big move, maybe you aren't as successful in your alliance as you thought you were. Considering Andrew was under the impression he was just lugging you around for a vote, it's a testament to your gameplay.

And with getting Chuy out, you would've been downright fucked if Andrew got three more points in that immunity challenge. Whether it be true or not, Andrew said he was going to take me. So you almost screwed your game up there. And if he did take you, 90% sure you would have lost to him.

You say you've lied and then you were trusted. Though you lost Chuy and my trust at a crucial moment and it could've screwed you over. It didn't obviously since you're here. But you have a lot more cons than you're laying down.
