Hola Jury Members for the last time of this game.

*Talks a Gulp*

*Wipes Sweat From forhead, holds the tearsback*

I should be the Sole Survivor for many reasons, I did the three most important elements in this game and did them well : Outwit, Outlast and Outplay. I have overcame more odds than anyone from being the main target to having 2 alliances right after and being here.

Everyone

The Swap I made was the HARDEST move I had to make for strategy reasons. When we made the alliance of 6 that was real right there and so was my word at that time. Later I started to think where do I stand at final 06? I knew I wouldn't be in the top 4 let alone top 3, So I had to see if I could make a move of the game. Thats when I approached Tijuana, Alex and Austin. I told them all the info on the main alliance of us 06 so they could trust me. It all came down to hopefully the small tribe of Sherea, Jenny and Gary's tribe to lose for this to work and it did thats where the LUCK came into the game.

Some people were like lets get Gary off I wasn't happy with that because i know Sherea was Going to end up winning this game if I didn't do anything. So I started to get votes and I did just that, Sherea left I finally felt accomplished. The Next Target was LINDSEY but with the idol in her hands she used it and one of my alliance members took the fall and that happened to be Alex. The Next Immunity challenge came thats were the "Cheating" came into the game and everyone was punished and sent to Tribal Council, with tempers flaring Austin layed his torch down and decided he can't go any longer because of the ethic decisions made.

Another Alliance member gone and only one left, I was worried and in fear me and Tijuana had to win the next immunity challenge for our tribe or one of us would be going. We pulled it off and the vote this round was tricky should we vote Gary who at the time had NO IDOL, but knowing he may have it because Jenny gave it to him or vote Jenny hoping she gave the Idol to Gary. I went with my Gut and told Tijuana to vote Gary. We awaited and Gary was the next to leave. With Jenny and Heidi despising me it scared me. This round Jenny needed to win immunity or she would be destroyed and we all would merge. Luckily for my sakes she did and was immediately voted out of the game.

The Final 04

Heidi - Tijuana - Rob - Lindsey

The two immunity winners were granted a spot in the final 03, I knew Heidi couldn't win it or I might as well pack my bags. I thankfully won and Heidi lost. Lindsey was tight with us from Final 05 since we pulled her in for a deal of a final 03. She Accepted, So we knew the vote was Heidi, She left and was mad at me. I went into the next Immunity knowing this is for the finals and I rely on myself to win this and my endurance. Tijuana slipped and the Immunity was Lindseys and Mine. Tijuana left the game and It was me and Lindsey finally here. This whole game I had to rely on myself and my gut instincts to make me prospure and to get me here and I did all of it and with success, I never failed and always made the right decisions.

In this game your heart gets to you and you get Greedy for the Title of Sole Survivor. This game puts you were you must trust the right people and I'm sorry Jenny - Heidi - Gary - Sherea, that you picked me but I had to look out for myself for this game. I Persevered, and I have many attributes that claim me as the true sole survivor : Luck, Strength, Heart, Courage, Perseverance, Strategy and Faith. I may of lied but it got me here.

I didn't come into this game with intentions to lie to anybody, or to hurt them. I am here and I was selfish but in this game you have to be or why did you sign up? This game made me feel bad about what I had to and to be hated because I decieved and lied but I had to realize I did it for my own good. I didn't let the Game Play me I played the game and did it very well and swiftly. Dont vote on Despite or how personal reasons would factor in vote for the sake of who PLAYED THE GAME.

Rob Mariano!
