The first big move that I made that influenced the game in a huge way was to take out Sierra before the merge. Now, Jaclyn will claim that this was her move because she told us to give her name as the target, but as I said in my statement, the night before the challenge, I was already talking to Sierra/Dan/Joaq about who they would want out next. Sierra was very careful as to not say a name straight out until we went through everyone on the tribe and she basically came to the conclusion that, even though she loves everyone, Jaclyn has talked to her the least and therefore Jaclyn would be getting her vote. I did the same with Dan and Joaq, who agreed. I'm sure that those 3 talked between themselves and settled on Jac beforehand but I was the one to tell Nadiya that they wanted Jac out. Then Jaclyn told us to give her name as the target, which we did. Now, about a few hours before that tribal council, I messaged Nadiya and asked her if voting out Jaclyn would be a better idea. Nad was against it at first but as time passed she said she was considering it. Of course, I wouldn't need Nad to vote with me since it was a 4-3 vote but I wanted to discuss it with her and not lie to her. Eventually, we made a pro and cons list and came to the conclusion that Sierra was more dangerous than Jaclyn. This blindside took out the threesome of Dan/Sierra/Joaq who would have gone into the merge as a dominant force if they had stuck together. After Joe went out, this gave Dan and Joaq not much option but to stick with NuYali.
My second move was keeping Val over Jenn. Me and Joaq were put in a position where we could go with Drew/Reed/Jenn/So or we could stick with NuYali. As Jaclyn said in her opening statement, I am a stubborn player. I wanted Jenn gone the moment she told me she didn't trust me and I had Reed agreeing to vote Jenn, until Drew came back from the challenge and changed it to Val, because he was worried about the Yali girls. Joaq was still unsure all the way until that tribal because of rumors of him getting votes circled. I chose to SAVE Val that tribal council because I felt like Reed/Drew/Jenn/So would take full control of the game if Val went home that night. Nadiya, Jaclyn and Val had no idea of this plan and this shows that this was all in me and Joaq's hands. By voting out Jenn, I severed yet another tight foursome, a vote that Drew and Reed were not able to recover from.
2.) Do you feel your path the the final 3 was easier or harder than the 2 people sitting next to you and why do you feel that way?
I think it was harder than someone like Jaclyn who was never around to stir the waters. When we merged, I was told by a couple NuAsmat people that me and Dan were public enemy #1 over at Asmat. I then went on to recieve votes at 4/8 merge tribal councils. Jaclyn didn't receive more than 1 or 2 total votes. I was always in a position where I had to make tough decisions, and go over who to vote for. Val and Jaclyn did not have to make these decisions, they let Nadiya do most of the decision making for them. And who was closest with Nadiya? Myself. Me and her would talk through everything a day or two in advance. I was also considered an asshole and "too chaotic" so people kept suggesting my name, but I was always able to convince the rest of the tribe that others were bigger targets than myself.
3.) If the final 3 this season consisted of the 3 best overall players, who would they be in your opinion? If you weren't one of them, who would you have voted for of the 3 if you were a juror? If you were one of them, do you feel you would win?
Nadiya, Drew, and either Reed or Joaq. I feel like all three of those people played incredible games.
Thanks for your answers, and may the best castaway win. Basically, you're all bad-asses, and manipulators of this game.

The reason I say that, is because one of you is going to win, and the other two aren't, plain and simple. So many people play this game with the intention of making it to the end, yet fail to seize the opportunities to solidify themselves throughout the game as deserving winners. Although it is commendable to be where you are during final tribal, and not where I am, I feel as though if you didn't constantly ensure that you and you alone were deserving of our votes, you failed just as the rest of us did. Playing hard and crashing and burning is in my opinion a better idea than only focusing on making it to the end. Maybe you saw an easy road, and decided to throw cruise-control on and take it. Sometimes, you gotta take the back road, with lots of twists and hard turns, in order to not only arrive at the destination, but arrive first. Although I am coming into this with a good idea of how each of you played the game, my vote is up for grabs, and if any of you can show me something I don't see, something that can really change my perspective on how you played the game, you can win me over. As I can expect of some of the other Jurors as well. If you really want to win, own your game. Don't sit there and tell us what we already know, don't act as if any of you is entitled to any votes, earn them.
With that said, I have 3 questions for the 3 of you tonight. You can each choose to answer all of them, or just answer the ones you feel necessary. I picked each one to try and highlight aspects of the game that I felt each of you used to get you to where you are.

Hey Drew!
1. The 2 moves I believe strongly influenced the game was:
a.Voluntering to be the tribe leader. This really solidified me in the middle of Yali, which allowed me to work my strategy of allowing "Alphas vs Alphas", while I stay clear of the drama.
b. Me convincing you that i was really willing to work with you after we had our philosophical conversation. That really demonstrated the fact how social I was in this game and also going back to my strategy of having the stronger competitors going against other stronger competitors. In this case it was you vs. Dale.
2. My path was definitely harder than the other two. People saw Dale and Val as easier options to bring to the finals and win against, while I was a wildcard. I had to make sure I was in in the right place in the right time while making decisions on who to go home, making sure there wasn't a plan against me. Dale and Val didnt have to work so hard as i did.
3. I would put myself, Nadiya, and Joaq as the top 3 best players this season. Nadiya leaned more on comp wins, Joaq leaned more on being apart of big blindsides, while I leaned more on my social awareness in this game. This final 3 would definitely be a battle for the win, but I feel social awareness triumphs over comp wins and blindsides.

Dale you are the biggest flop in the history of Stranded. You think you're hot shit, well let me be the one to burst your bubble and say that you are most definitely not. You are the biggest sexist, misogynist, homophobic, racist, ableist, transphobic asshole on the face of this earth. You are a huge ass goat in this game. You will not be getting my vote, in fact, you very well could get 0 votes which you deserve. Also, FUCK YOU FOR MAKING ME READ THAT LONG ASS ESSAY. Missy was right about you. I came here to have fun most of all, and on my last day you couldn't even let me enjoy talking to people without constantly attacking me in every other pm I received. You are also a huge ass hypocrite, saying that I only told you lies, and that you never told a single lie, yet you lied constantly to my face. In your speech, you argue that you knew about the Dan vote, but you say you didn't know about the Dan vote, and then continue saying you knew about the Dan vote. HYPOCRISY!!!! I have no questions for you, just a huge fucking middle finger. BYE
FOR VAL: Val, you are an incredible person. My vote is not decided between you and Jaclyn, but I have one question for you: Why should Jaclyn win over you?
FOR JACLYN: Jaclyn, you are a great person as well. We had a secret alliance and fought to hide it. Like I told Val, my vote is not decided between you and her. I have two questions for you: 1. Why should Val win over you? 2. Could you explain to the jury the difficulties of being a leader: all the added pressure, the target, and whatnot, because I know how difficult it was for me.
Thank you ladies and FUCK OFF DALE.

You have to think about what you had to say to certain people, make the right decision for the majority, and be positive. I accomplished all of those as a leader and that really should be something to think about.

Last and most certainly least, Dale. Throughout this entire game, you were the equivalent of an angsty teenager. "Wah, I'm the goat. Wah, I have no allies. Wah, I'm the only trustworthy person in this game. WAH, SOMEONE PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO ME." I'm starting to think the only reason your girlfriend chose a school miles away from you is because she got sick and tired of your toxic personality and constant need for validation. You were just a broken record player that just leeched off a sympathetic individual until they were drained of all their emotions. Once you were done sapping all of their pity like a soul-sucking demon, you proceeded to berate, insult and viciously lie to them, and then moved onto the next host to shower you with words of encouragement and give you the attention you so desperately crave. My last two days in this game, I actually dreaded logging into the site because I knew I would have yet another PM from you just continuing to berate me and attempting to psychologically brutalize me. I wanted to work with you Dale, I truly did, until you threw me under the bus at the Dan vote. I have no idea how you thought I'd trust you after that. And nothing you say right now will ever convince me that you didn't intentionally throw me under the bus. I told Drew that you couldn't be trusted, but I still allowed my fate to be decided by you at the final 9... And we see how that worked out.
Your game has been all about being the faithful, little goat who stayed loyal to his Yali alliance from start to finish. And I'm sure there's some "master plan" behind all that bluster but frankly, I don't feel like hearing it. You're just a pathetic little person who hid in his fantasy world all game and pretended you were the most noble person in this game when you're really just worthless. There's honestly no other word to describe your game other than worthless. Having said all that... At the end of the day, I truly do pity you, Dale, if that's how you act in your real life and I really have nothing else to say to you if that truly is the case.
Jaclyn and Val, I pity the both of you for having to spend every single part of your experience with this attention-mongering cretin. Kudos to the both of you. You certainly have more patience than I do. Dale, if this is the real you and not just some elaborate attempt to troll everyone, I hope your girlfriend finds happiness with someone who is much less needy.
