A wise man once told me: "Sometimes I like potatoes more than people. Potatoes won't betray you."
The reality here is though, that I am not a potato, neither is Eddie, neither or you guys. My point is, we all have souls, we all have reasons for the decisions we made in the past. If everyone would be a potato, how would life look then? I'm telling you, it would be boring and meaningless. I can't be a potato and you guys wouldn't want me to be. I would probably be a delicious one though.
I know a lot of you guys have bitter feelings towards me. All I am asking for is a chance to clear this up. Just listen. I am not here to make apologizes, I am content with the game I played, but I feel like I have something to explain to you guys.
Ain't gonna bore you with endless recaps about what went down during this season, since Eddie basically summed it all up. Eddie did a great job setting himself up as the decision maker here though. He can say all he wants, but he did not make my decisions for me. We made them together and he can’t differ his strategic game from mine. They were the same, except for the fact he had it easier, since he didn’t have to vote one of his alliance mates out cause he was forced to (Yes, Morgan, you truly felt like an alliance mate to me, even though you don’t feel like it).
Where me & Eddie differ in this game is our social game. I feel like I was one of the few people in this game to take the time to get to know every single one of you. I knew coming into this game that I couldn't keep all of you as friends, yet I did try to connect with every single of you. Even with people like Darrah & Erinn, who I felt like there was no option but get rid of them. This might have been my biggest strategic mistake though, people were expecting too much from me and I eventually had to cut lines. If you feel betrayed; so be it. But I think I shouldn't be called out for socializing with you guys. I had a goal, a goal to make it to the end. I ended up going with my Mukwa Teammates, I knew I could 100% trust them, cause I had been through so many tribal councils with them. I couldn't make a lot out of the Ahmicks. After all I didn't have the chance to test their loyalties, they hadn't really voted with me. The late-late merge didn't help with this.
Mukwa, Mukwa, Mukwa. Our tribe kept on losing and losing and we wouldn't merge. I went to every single tribal council but one, and I was almost always vulnerable except for one, yet I only saw one vote cast against me. That might be luck, it might be cause I knew what was going on. Because I went to almost every tribal council, I had to piss a lot of people off during the process, some people I didn't even want to screw over.
Look at yourself. Look at me. We ain’t potatoes, we are human. You can feel betrayed all you want, but the question here is: was I a bad human, was I a bad player? I don’t feel like I was either one of them and I genuinely had fun playing with every single one of them. Thank you!
