Opening Statement

Hey guys! wow, thanks so much on an amazing game, I had so much fun playing with all of you.
I'd firstly like to start out saying how I basicallly played through-out this game.
I was a physical strategy member of my original tribe of Giza, as I was always there pulling them through right to the very end however non of them made the jury.
Then as we split into the two tribes of Pharaos and Slaves, it was a little bit of a paranoya time for me as Sammy was voted out I feared that I would be next with the numbers then being Jon 3 votes and myself 2 votes I knew that I had to do something drastically.
Come merger I was faced with big decisions on voting stronger people out and breaking up core alliances. So Morgan was voted out because I basically told many people she was a threat and had to be ousted.
Then it came down to the final 7, I was so tossed up between the two alliances of the original Heqets, and the Survival Boys, as there were 3 and 3. Both alliances basically said to me the best position I'd get in the finals would be about 3rd or 4th place finish. I knew I had to bump it up and change that. so at the final 7 vote, Clayton didn't show up as he was exiled, so It was 3 V 2 V 1. So I joined the Heqets and used my reward I won ages ago the Null and used it against Ektor therefore sending Ektor home.
At final 6 the voting was, Sean, Andrew, Jenn, and myself It was forced a tie between me and Jenn as I knew the Heqets then needed a member to be broken off.
So I won the tie breaker challenge.
At final 5 I was yet again the swinger voter and Sean was ousted off.

And then all of a sudden bam I am here =D and I can't believe it.
I hope you guys vote basically on the state who you think survived the best here in Egypt,
Just take into consideration I got a lot of votes and manipulated my way to the top, I broke core alliances, something a survivor does.
thanks for reading all

Closing Statement

Throughout this final tribal council, all my answers to you guys have been 110% honest and the deepest from my heart, which is a little different to what I did in the game, but it was the game and I played it my way and the way I wanted. I won't hide and pretend to suck up to all of you to get your votes, because I want you all to vote on a personality on who deserves the win and who would the most incredible game.

But yet I merely lied to many and backstabbed many to save myself, nobody here can not say that they would not do the same if they were in my shoes, I was placed under a lot of stress, from the very begining of merger, I had to face tough decisions in choosing which alliance to stay loyal too, and which one to discard either way I seemed like a total bish, and that truely wasn't my personality, it was a strategy move to get myself to the final 2 and it obviously worked. I always tried my hardest in every challenge, and stayed loyal to my closest alliances and closer to my enemies. It was basically the way I played this game I stuck myself out their and played hard and being the underdog, now let's see if I can stick it out further and go on from this position.

On the other hand, I appreciated Clayton so much, he has tought me his way of playing this game, even though we are two different people with a big age gap, I find him so mature and it rubs off, he is a wonderful young man, and I fully respect him, even when we were off edge and weren't talking I knew if I was upset or hurt Clayton would be there for me, he deserves this final 2 spot next to me he earnt it - we both did, I truely appreciate his friendship.

Now to put my hands out to the jury, I think everyone of you had a unique and special time out here in Egypt, you all played so differently with different strategies, and it is something we all don't see much we were a very unique bunch of castaways, I truely loved this game not the fact that I am here in the final, but the fact that I got to share some amazing expierences with you all here.
I think the jurors should see myself as someone who played that strong physical game, who did their best in every challenge, helping the tribe survive, and then coming to merge facing tough decisions, and staying strong, and positive even when things are not going the way you wanted I still maintained myself a calm and collective mood, and that is my personality. I always considered every move in this game, as I always tried to stay one step ahead of everyone, and too see what move would affect me in near future. I was never a rude selfish girl, who treated any of you like crap, because I fully respected everyone of you truely with my heart, and I hope you all realize that. You may all still think I am a bish and was a bad person in that game, but I can not change that outcome, I just played this game my hardest and to my extent and I hope you all can see past that and look at the real picture on who played better than thee other. After the votes are in, I hope you all can catch up with me, in the reunion or we can have a good old chat on AIM, I would love that a lot, and we can even write up predictions for next seasons alumni =D.
So, I would urge you if you need anymore questions answered please post in your question board I will be more than happy to answer any information you are unsure of or want to know more of. I am sorry for my long responses, but I hope you can take the time to carefully read it all, and understand who I am and how I played the game.
Best of luck to all of you making the final vote, do us proud.
much love -
Torah xx.
