OPENING STATEMENTS

[hottie]

Welcome Final 2...


Welcome Jury...


It's been a long journey, but it's about to come to an end. After 12 players came onto this island looking to outplay, outwit, and outlast only 2 of them remain. They are Olivia and Heather. Now it's time to decide which one should win the game.

We'll start off with Opening Statements.
Olivia... Heather... When you're ready, you can post your Opening Statments in this thread!!

But this time we have a twist....

Olivia and Heather. You have a last thing to do.. use it how you want.

Each of you can invite a pre-jury boot to make part of the jury. You can pick one name or if you don't want to, just post that you don't want. I will contact the pre-merge player and invite them to join the jury. It's up to you.

Good Luck!

Heather-Opening Statements

First of all,i Love play with everyone in this cast,and I Really I'm Proud to be here

Ok Tonight Let me start by telling all of you that the one thing I’m not going to do tonight is make any apologies for being apart of this final two with Olivia. I’m not only proud to be here, but I truly believe I deserve to be here. I’ve been able to adapt and assimilate in not only one Person, two Persons, but Many Persons. At the end of the day, I’m the one sitting up here who has survived every single tribal council. And I’m still sitting here. I’ve outwitted many of you. I’ve outplayed many of you, and ultimately I did outlast all of you. And I believe I deserve the title of sole Survivor.If I lie to persons,If I Betrayed some persons,this is part from the game,this is how the things works here.I'm am not maybe the best person in challenges,but if you guys look better,I'm make one social game amazing than olivia,and because that I controlled every single round since of beginning,I Make alliances not only for this game but for my all life <3 <3

This is all i can say for now,you guys can ask me as you want,Thanks

Wow. That's brazen. Word for word using Denise's opening argument from Survivor: Philippines as your own.

Olivia’s Opening Statement

First, I just want to say thanks to both hosts and to the players for this game. I entered this game not knowing anyone and I wanted to play a kind of under the radar game. I wanted people to sort of underestimate me and not really think of me as being a threat. I did my best to have some sort of relationship with everyone on my tribe (or at the very least, have conversations with them). However, I was very aware of the fact I did not have any strong alliances with anyone in the beginning of the game. One of the first people I approached with the intention of looking after each other’s backs was Mia. The first vote was easy as David was voted out for going inactive and when Eric and Natalie had their fight on the thread over who to send to Exile that put me in the best position I’d been in to that point. After that the lines were pretty much drawn in our tribe. Eric and Mia seemed to be working together and in order to combat what I perceived to be a solid duo I became closer to Natalie. The whole Exile fight actually helped me as it made Natalie and I become closer to the point where she became my closest ally in the game. I still wanted to work with Mia (and our relationship in the game did suffer for a while after Eric was voted out), but I was apprehensive thinking that she was too close to Eric, whom I didn’t have any formal alliance with and whom I thought was kind of sketchy. My relationship with Natalie lead to an alliance with Heather and as soon as Ash entered the game, him as well and we voted out Eric. When we merged the alliance was supposed to be me, Heather, Ash, and Natalie.

This however, as we all know, got ripped apart at the F6 Tribal Council. People were becoming leery of myself and Natalie and wanted to split us up. Natalie felt the shift and she accordingly gave her immunity to me. After that I knew I needed to make some changes to my game. I wasn’t too worried about the next vote, because I knew people saw Natalie as a bigger threat than me (hence my strategy of being under the radar and more quiet than someone like Natalie who was rather boisterous paying off), but I knew if she went I would probably be following her out the door.

As soon as the votes were revealed during the Final 6 Tribal I immediately sought a recommitment from Mia to carry our alliance that had kind of gone dormant to go to the Final 2. I realized that the chances of Natalie staying past the next round were slim and I needed to begin to distance myself from Natalie for my own sake. Mia told me she had unknowingly voted for me during that Final 6 Tribal, because she forgot to vote and I was on top of a boot list she had posted in her confessional. I didn’t 100% buy this story (I did check with the host asking about a hypothetical situation in which if I forgot to vote, but had a boot list posted in my confessional if she would go by that. She said yeah, so I knew Mia’s story at the very least could be true), but I also knew I really didn’t have much of a choice. I had to at least try to work with Mia. My main point in going to Mia and establishing that Final 2 deal was to try and ensure at the Final 4 (The writing was on the wall that Natalie was kind of doomed at the Final 5), if I didn’t win immunity, the vote would at least tie. Natalie did end up leaving then at the Final 5 and while I did mention the idea of me, Mia, and Natalie all voting together, I could tell Mia wasn’t really up for it and I didn’t push it.

I also went to Ash after the Final 6 Tribal Council and brought up the fact we had been alliance members in a previous game to try and see if I could invoke any old loyalties and I told him to commit to a deal if we were in the Final 3 and either of us won the Final Immunity Challenge we would take each other to the Final 2. I did this to try and cover myself the best way possible to get to the end. At the Final 4 I did win immunity and Mia originally wanted to vote out Ash, but Heather and Ash came to me to vote out Mia. To me this seemed very clear Heather and Ash had an end game agreement considering they weren’t turning on each other at this critical junction. I felt my best bet to get to the F2 regardless was to keep Mia (whom I also had a F2 deal with) and split up Ash and Heather so if Ash did win the FIC perhaps he would take me since his alliance member (Heather) would no longer be in the game. Now, would any of these deals I made have actually held true had I not won the last two immunity challenges? I can’t say for sure, but regardless I was actively trying my best to get to the F2 and I feel that’s what matters. I didn’t sit around and bank on immunity wins; I kept trying to play with the people that were left.

However, Heather won the tiebreaker (maybe due to some luck??) and I went into the FIC knowing I pretty much had to win. I came away with the victory and after much thought I decided to bring Heather with me, because I don’t think she played the game as well as Ash did. I don’t think many conversations with Heather regarding the game had a lot of substance (there was a lot of this “<3333” was going on and this “!!!” this as well), she lied a lot; mostly for no reason (like swearing on her family it would be me, her, Natalie, and Ash in the Final 4. Like WTF?), and I feel like her personality was kind of two-faced. She would act sweet and innocent, but she was anything but.

I didn’t play a perfect game and it was a rough road to get here, but I do feel I did exactly what the name of this game is. I survived. I survived early on when I wasn’t in the best position, I got myself into an alliance, and when that alliance fell apart and it became clear I was on the outs I kept fighting and trying and I won the last two immunity challenges to secure myself a spot in the Final 2. And I actually had to work hard for those challenge victories so they weren’t luck or handed to me. I knew I could step it up when it mattered and I knew I could win the final two challenges. I feel some people underestimated me when they thought Natalie was the biggest threat between her and I and that’s exactly the spot where I wanted to be. But I was always thinking and paying attention and with the exception of some people from the Texas Chainsaw tribe I did talk with the majority of the players in this game.

Sorry if this was lengthy, I’ll answer any questions any of you guys might have and hopefully you will think I’m worthy of your vote!

And you know what, I'll think I'll invite David to be a part of this fab jury <3
