Hey everyone. I am very honored to be standing here as one of the final two players remaining. I played a very competitive game and I feel like I not only deserve to be here but also to win the game. I was loyal to my alliance of myself, Rachel, Mercedes and Puck throughout the game and I did what I had to do to help them all remain in the game. Although Mercedes and Puck didn't make it as far as I would have liked, Rachel and I ended up here in the final two because of our strong alliance and competitive spirit.

I feel that I played a very different game than Rachel although we were aligned with each other. While Rachel was seen as more of an UTR player, I was definitely more outspoken. I won more comps than Rachel and had to make a lot of tough decisions as a result of that. While Rachel was seen as a wishy washy player whose loyalty wavered, my loyalty throughout the game was to her, Mercedes and Puck and everyone knew that. I definitely feel that had I not won as many comps as I did I wouldn't be here, and I probably wouldn't be here with the help of Quinn either, so thank you Quinn for helping me make it this far.

I believe that I was the strongest and most dedicated player in this game. I won the most comps and showed up to every live challenge there was even though almost all of them got postponed because I was the only one online. I feel like I deserve to win this game, and I look forward to answering any questions you may have for me. Thank you.

Hello ladies and gentlemen of the jury. It is such an honor to be standing up here! I honestly never thought that standing there on day one with 11 other players, that I would be one of the last two standing. I mean seriously, it's an honor.

In order to make my case to you, you all have to understand one fact. The fact is, that there is indeed more than one way to play a game. With different players, come different strategies, and that's what makes games like this so exciting. If everyone played the game exactly the same, then that wouldn't make for much entertainment. It's seeing whose strategy makes it the farthest that is the most entertaining to watch!

Here in the finals, you have two people with very different strategies. Finn was a competitive spirit. He was always top-notch on the competitions and made many deals to make his way to the finals. He was aggressive and hard-hitting till the very end. And that strategy got him here. Great Job.

Then you have me. I played a very subtle game. At first, I would indeed call my strategy "UTR" but I gradually came out as more than that. There was absolutely no need to constantly have a target on my back from day one. When I needed something, I went out and got it. Best example would be when I was nominated against Puck. My alliance of Mercedes and Finn completely deserted me. I was basically dropped off and left for done. But I rallied the votes in my favor and did things to maintain my safety. Honestly, you DO NOT have to win competitions to get to the finals. And just because I didn't, does NOT mean that I was "carried". I just took the backroads, while Finn took the highway. We both ended up in the same spot though.

I am anxious to answer any questions you have. Thank you all for an amazing game. Looking forward to seeing the Finale.
