I have a question for you, Yasin. It is no secret that you are very much against Colleen making it to the finals. However, everyone knew the entire game that all her strategy was was to float. And in fact, you are the reason Colleen actually made it to the finals. You were the deciding vote between her and I, and you eliminated me instead of taking out the person whose gameplay you despised. So, in Colleen being in the finals, you have nobody to blame but yourself for that one. In fact, had you eliminated Colleen and not me, you probably would be in the finals right now, because you, me, Jen and Ashley would have taken out Bud and Tamara soon after.

Hello people. I've missed a few things it seems. First and most importantly, Elliott I am sincerly sorry for your loss. Although I'm not one for prayer, my thoughts are with you in the difficult time of your life. I wish you the best.
Next I would like to address Ashley's comment about not having a life. OMG come on people do none of you have a sense of humour? Give her a break.
Jen guess what? Nobody cares anymore about what you did or did not do, you didn't make the final 3, you're out of it.
Christy just read my comment to Jen, the same applys.
Yasin, well I have nothing to say to you, you're irrelevant.

Well I haven't seen David in here but I have to go ahead anyway. David if you do come around I bet you'll only a question for the final (two) as Christy likes to say it. And since I'm done with the rest of you fools I'm going to post my closing and get my butt back to work.

hi everyone....i have a meeting in la and will not be back til it's too late to post final comments, so i'd like to do that now.
first, i would like to thank everyone for your questions and comments. for me i would like to say again, i was happy with the way i played the game. no regrets. i have not had to answer any questions about my intregity in the game, and i am so happy about that point. i played the game just like i live. i don't deceive people in an online game or in my real life. for me to play that way would have been out of character and i would not have done it well. i am not saying that those did play that are like that in real life. i would never want to say or do anything to purposely hurt anyone to gain an advantage in a game. my strategy or lack thereof was brought up. i believe that bud said that i played by the seat of my pants and i was not prepared and to play this game you should be prepared. i disagree. i think if you go in with a strategy and stick to it, you will play by the seat of your pants. i just don't think you can be prepared for every situation.
i know that most of you are putting a great deal of thought into this vote. i appreciate all the thought that are going into this vote. this was a great competition. all of you were great competitors. it really could have been any of you in the finals.

I'd like to first congatulate Both Jill and Abbie on a job well done. Bravo
Now at the risk of sounding redundant, I must reiterate. Get over yourselves people, it's not the end of the world. Vote for whom ever you choose, it makes no difference to me. I came to play this game for the human behaviour experience, and it was second to none. I never made one single post in this site or in pm's where I didn't have a smile on my face. I loved every minute of this game.
Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to you all.

I came into this game by chance. That was the last thing that I left to chance in this game however. From the second I came every move I have made has been calculated. Every alliance I formed for a reason. Every action I took planned. To me being Sole Survivor doesn't mean that you were lucky enough to fall through the cracks or rode someones coat tails to the finals. To me being a Sole Survivor means you EARNED being there. Being a Surivor doesn’t mean you go in unprepared. Quite the contrary. While you know going in you will be thrown some curve balls you can still be prepared. Being a Survivor means doing what is necessary to SURVIVE. It requires making difficult decisions seem easy. It requires not only being physically tough but mentally. Competitions that required endurance/stamina/etc I was at the head of the pack. Competitions that required problem solving and puzzle skills I was an asset to my tribe. Competitions that required trivia knowledge I again was able to be an asset. This entire game I never stopped thinking. I never layed low once. I never took the easy road to the top. I knew what had to be done and followed through. Then I dealt with the circumstances.
The other aspect of this game of Survivor is the SOCIAL portion. Most probably are wondering why I would bring that up when I “screwed” over every alliance I had. I in return ask you this. What makes a friendship? Friendship means standing by your friend no matter what. Now look at the people who have went to bat for me. When you see people such as Tamara, Jen, and even Colleen it goes to show you that I was able to make bonds in this game. On top of that with the likes of Christy, and Yasin it shows although they may not agree with my actions they at least respect me as a person/player. To me that means a lot. To me that means I did what I set out to do. I can now say without a shadow of a doubt that I played the best game possible for me. I left nothing on the table. I didn’t come into the jury questioning and change my stance on anything. I didn’t say what people wanted to hear but instead stood by my actions and accepted the responsibility for them.
So in closing I ask you this. When you go to cast your vote think about the motto of Survivor. Outwit…Outplay…Outlast… Then ask yourself of the three remaining who other than myself can say they embodied all three of those aspects. When you go to vote I ask that you think about the actual game and not the personal aspects. This is/was a game. I played the game to fullest extint of the letter. I took control of my own fate. I played from beginning to end without any rest periods. My fate however is now no longer in my hands but yours. I trust that you all will do the right thing, and no matter what the outcome is I wanted to thank everyone for making this game so fun and challenging.

Ok well Nick just said he's only announcing the winner. So I'll tell you now Elliot how that decision came to be. It is no surprise that you and Ashley wre like Rob and Amber. You guys needed to be SPLIT up. So, we wanted to make you alone, so Bud and Jen suggested to go after Ashley. I voted to eliminate Ashley, but seh didn't go. So I was in a loop because I thought hse was going home and I was surprised that there was a tie. So I found out that it was either Colleen or you to go home. I wanted Colleen gone, simply because seh was getting annoying, and Jen wanted her out from what I had known, and like you said i hated her gameplay, i knew she was just a floater. BUT little did I know, Bud and Jen were working together and Bud convinced Jen to tell me to vote out you. Me and jen were like this (yn) (crosses fingers), so I listened to her and voted you out.
