Hi everyone! Before I get into my OS I just would like to state what an AMAZING game this has been to play and to be included in. I’m honored to be apart of the Twisted alumni and I look forward to PW many, many future seasons. ;) To the hosts, you guys did such a professional and awesome job hosting. The twists were original, the graphics were gorgeous and you guys were always on time. So, thank you guys for this. Spencer and James, good luck to the both of you. We all manage to get here; we all deserve to be here and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Alright, when I came into this game I decided on one strategy and I didn’t care if it worked or not, and I guess it did. I wanted to come in and play extremely hard extremely fast. When opportunities presented themselves whether it be for a new ally or to make a big move I always took the chance and never gave it a second thought. The game started out with two factions and four tribes so Sakai and Ki were the only people I was able to message and talk to. As soon as the game started Eliza, Jefra and myself formed an alliance “Us three girls? We’re pretty tight!” was our motto and we all clicked really well. We needed a fourth member for majority and I pushed for it to be Caleb because I fell in love with him within moments of talking to him. We had majority on Sakai, but you could never feel too safe. We elected Caleb as Shogun and after we won the first immunity he got sent to Ukiyo and lo and behold our alliance managed to snatch the first idol of the game round one. I felt so good about my alliance and it truly stuck during the faction wars. Unfortunately the love tribe of Sakai was shuffled around when we all had to decide our teams for ourselves.

During the swap I found myself in a nice alliance. Eliza had the idea to make sure that Mountains stay strong and we could just obliterate the coasts and that’s what we did. Granted, it was just Pagonging the coasts, but if you’re in the winning alliance and not on the cusp of being voted out then why change what you’re doing? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Getting out HUGE threats early like Sugar and Debbie really did change the course of the game. Bringing up Sugar as a “safe vote because there’s no way she has an idol” was the ultimate mist to get out a huge threat to my own game. Debbie and Sash were both players that tried every round and as much as they tried to break the Mountain wall, it just never came to fruition.

I felt really good with my bonds with people and felt I was secure with everyone. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that I’m awful at challenge (the worst part of ORGs) so I knew I had to shine in other ways and that was through my social game. I have the gift of gab and with that comes the gift of bluffing and getting through to people. Multiple times during the merge the “opposing side” were still people I feel I was completely loyal to and were my friends (JFP<3 and Spencer), but when I realized they definitely flipped on me and I had to make sure they had no idea that I knew. So the next few votes I acted paranoid and that I didn’t have the votes on my side to make sure the other side wouldn’t have any idea that I was voting them out. From the JFP vote to voting for James, I always made sure that the people I was voting for didn’t have any idea.

The Fairplay vote was interesting because we promised each other we would watch out for each other and work together. He’s a smart player who’s great at competitions so I obviously wanted him on my side. When I found proof that Ki flipped on the “mountain alliance” the betrayal hurt, but I couldn’t let it ruin my game or cloud my judgement. The outsiders wanted to take out Spencer that round, but he wasn’t a strong person for challenges so that’s when Fairplay went home. It was a tough vote, but it set the tenor for the rest of my game. Caleb getting idol’d out and then the double round with the sides pitted against each other. At the last second Kat asked me if I was down to flip and I weighed out the pros and cons and just remembered what I told myself at the start of the game and that was to take every opportunity I could to get myself out of a jam. Voting out Sydney and Eliza was a very hard vote for me to make considering how much I genuinely liked talking about strategy and life with them, but I decided to chance it and see where it would take me. Final 6 rolls around and my back’s against the wall with Kat. We did have a resisting soldier from the Ki-lliance though in Dana who was able to break away and help take out a huge competition threat in Marisa. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t completely hate her for making me waste 14 hours of my life. <3

After that was the Final 5 immunity, which Kat won in a clutch, a light bulb went off in my head. This entire game Dana had this epic story and she was the hero of the season where if she made it to FTC it would have been a blow out. Spencer likes to think his open campaigning against Dana was what convinced me, but my mind was already made up once she lost immunity. I knew Dana had to go, but I didn’t want her or Kat to know in fear of them talking with James/Spencer and taking me out. Pretending like a neurotic worrier really did come in handy a LOT in this game. It seems to make people trust you and gravitate towards you.

Once Dana went out and it came down to Final 4 I knew my ass was on the line. I had to give a hard sell and keep up my relationship with (a pissed off) Kat and I told her that I wasn’t going to vote her out this round that my target was Spencer. I gave the sell of my life to him and James that I was a goat and Kat was the golden girl who was going to take him down in the end of the game. Selling myself as a goat in the game to survive? Sure, I’m guilty of that, but hey they bought what I was selling and I avoided my name on any parchment during the most important tribal council of the game. Had Spencer not won the Final immunity, that's who my vote would have been for. Tying the vote made the most sense to me because it was an insurance policy. I stopped trusting Spencer by the Gervase vote along with all the members of Ki, but they never thought I didn’t for a second. I figured if James and Spencer were going to pull a fast one on me I was going to beat them to the punch and tie it on of them. Regardless, I was making sure a 2-1-1 vote wouldn’t occur. Another reason why I tied the vote is because I thought having Kat here in FTC would really make more people question where their votes would go and leave some up in the air before they were pre-decided.

My social game and my gift of taking risks are what carried me to the Final 3. I couldn't have done this without solid allies and some luck, but I think I did a pretty good job at making people feel safe, getting in with the ~in crowd~ and having people confide in me when they needed to. I was a lightning rod for information throughout this whole game and that doesn't happen if you don't have a strong social game.

That’s it, I’ve rambled too long and you all probably just want a tl;dr version. I’m here to answer your questions as honest and unapologetic as possible. I hope you strongly consider me during this FTC and I look forward to answering all your questions.


So let's do this.
