'''I'm just going to assume that someone's going to tl;dr this. So, I'm putting this at the top:'''

'''I'm can be a dick when people snap decisions. That's a fault of mine and I hope (and apologize if I was) that I wasn't super terrible to all of you. I'm not like that outside of the game and I hope we can all be friends after this.'''

'''I think I did play a better overall game than Augusto, but it's all to your perception. I'll answer any questions you guys have. I won't beat around the bush with anything. Give it all you got :P'''

I think Ian said it really well at the end of the forum. Augusto and I are yours for the rest of this game. You decide who wins this entire thing, so good luck to all of you in making this decision.

I am very much aware how I came across to people. We all know what I'm talking about and most people would describe me plainly as an ass. Although I understand that my attitude can get on peoples' nerves, I am actually a decent guy to get to know. Outside of the game or at least if the conversation doesn't involve the game, I'm not a dick.

During the game, I get this "take no shit" attitude. Uh, I'm simply not fond of quick decision making. It irritates me when someone doesn't think through all the options before making a choice. I think a little more elaborately than some, so the way I play this game was probably different from a lot of yours.

Starting from the first challenge where our tribe was talking about words being on the list without even checking them, I obviously got annoyed. And then people voting right away at our first actual tribal, and the corresponding one the same thing happened. There were a lot of minor things that got on my nerves, and it didn't correspond well with the other castaways on my tribe, which escalated into the merge, etc.

I understand the way I come off, but I didn't intend to make so many people irritated at me. if anyone has any questions about some things I've said I'll gladly explain myself. (I can think of a situation relating to a juror. If they don't talk about it [though I think they will] I'll explain myself anyways). I didn't exactly realize that I irritated so many people until the Touchy Subjects challenge. Kind of worried for everyone to see my confessional during the aftermath of that when the episode comes out.

That being said, with all those paragraphs, I'd like to think that I wasn't absolutely terrible to everyone. I'd like to believe that even if we did have issues it wasn't a situation where you hated my guts. I don't hate anyone out here, and if I was irritated with you at the beginning I don't feel the same way, and I hope you guys don't either.

The Social game is really important and I wasn't the best at it, and that's my fault. There's no one else to blame for me sucking at that aspect but myself. However, I think that in the end I played a damn good strategic game.

As I said prior I think things through. I love working through every scenario to give a little mindset of how things are going to go. I didn't vote with the majority for a lot of Tribal Councils; but the ones I didn't I knew who the other contender was. No Tribal Council was an absolute shock for me. At the merge I played an idol incorrectly as a safety precaution and nothing more. I used the fact that everyone knew about my other idol to my advantage. Pretending to play it to force the vote onto someone else was a good game move. Had I used it that tribal I would've been voted out the next. I know a lot about the game and I know how to grasp it.

My physical game was also decent. I won two immunity challenges. The Final Immunity Challenge was a bitch but I won that mother by two points and I'm proud of that. I never sucked at any challenge I don't believe. I even helped contribute a lot pre-merge.

I think that I did play a better game than Augusto. People thought of Augusto as a sheep (though I saw him as an ally, people's perception matters), whereas I want to believe I was thought of as a threat. Having two (tech. three) idols, getting out some big threats to my game, I believe that I trump Augusto in that sense.

I want to listen to you guys. I want to make some personal apologies that I'm not going to make in my speech here, but rather when they ask me questions as a Juror. I want you guys to give me your worst. I'm going to take full responsibility for my actions. And in the end, I hope my answers suffice and you will cast your vote for me to win this game.

I wish a good luck to Augusto. May the best A win.
