I asked Jeff if we were going to be doing closing statements and he said it was optional and myself as well as Fabio and Danni can do them if we want (So Danni/Fabio... this is me telling you this lol)
With that being said... onto my closing statement.
I'm glad that we have gotten a chance to hear what the jury has had to say about each of us, as well as what our fellow competitors sitting in the F3 have said as well. But I want to take this opportunity to put out my final thoughts on what everyone has said and help give the jury my inside final thoughts after hearing everything.
You'll notice a lot of my closing statement has to do with the relationship between Danni and I as Fabio has never said anything positive or negative about either Danni or I that I disagree with or can argue with. I feel although everyone lied at some point during the game, 2 of the 3 people in this final TC have been completely honest the at final TC while one person has told more lies in the last 2 days of answering jury questions then most of us did in an entire month of playing this game together.
Alinas Top Points to get across
-----------------------------------------
1. There is a difference between a leader and the villain, I feel that while I was the leader of our alliance, that doesn't necessarily make me the villain.
-Example-
Danni formed friendships with Edgardo, JP, Brett, and Brady and had an alliance with them that she betrayed and voted out.
Alina formed friendships with Edgardo, JP, Brett, and Brady and they wanted to vote her out so she voted them out first.
So am I the villain cause I targetted people who were targeting me so I could survie, when Danni targeted her alliance and people who seemed to genuinely have plans to the end with her?
2. Danni's wants you guys to vote her as she is the 'sweet innocent honest player'. This could not be further then the truth. The more I see the way she approaches this TC, the more I see how she is trying to subtly throw me under the bus and lie to improve her stock.
Example A -
Notice how Danni fights to say this was an equal partnership and we played this game as equals together. Atleast she says that when it's good things. But when it comes to the negative parts that the jury is upset with, she is quick to cast blame on me and finger me as the 'evil mastermind'. One such example is trying to out me as a 'cheater' for talking to Brett, Edgardo, Brady after the tribe shuffle, I don't deny I did. But she conveniently leaves out that she did the same.
Example B -
Danni's Opening Statement she claims that 'I was her priority, she wanted to get to the end with me and that was the goal.'
JP's question (I believe), JP asks her how realistic their alliance was and her loyalty to go to the end with them, She lists it as very real and that she knew from day 1 that her best move was to stick with them and get me out at some point.
hmmm that seems kinda contradictory
Cirie's question (I believe) She once again reverts back to claiming that she was completely loyal to me and that she was the innocent victim who looks bad cause she can't be cut throat and turn on me.
So I would ask the jury to review all of Danni's answers and see how in this case and others she gets asked the same question in different words by various jurors and she flip flops her answers to fit what she believes they want to hear.
The reason I bring all this up is the jury had me buying into the hype that I was the 'evil mastermind who lied and backstabbed everyone.'
But the more I thought about it, I realized while yes I was the mastermind behind our alliance, my only two true allies this entire game were Fabio and Danni and I never once voted against either of them, I never lied to them, I was 100% loyal to those who were loyal to me.
Everyone on original SQ sitting in the jury minus Edgardo at some point discussed end game plans with me, yet has openly admitted at this Final TC they wanted me gone early, So why punish me for seeing what was going on, and doing nothing to you guys that you weren't ready, willing and able to do to me had I let you?
So if you want to 'smart, strategic, loyal mastermind' to win this game. I'd appreciate your vote.
If you want to vote for the person who over came the odds and was the underdog. Then cast your vote for Fabio.
If you want the person who lied to almost everyone in the game, backstabbed an alliance that was loyal to her, tried to lie her way through final TC to play the 'innocent victim role while painting me bad on her way to the win.' (and almost succeeded in making me believe her own hype that I was the bad guy.) then vote for Danni.
Finally i'd like to say to Danni, this final statement is a little harsh towards you, I'm sorry for that. But the two things that you asked me not to do before final TC which was throw you under the bus and lie. I feel that you have taken those two things and in a very subtle tactful way... tried to use both strategies to your benefit here in the end game and I couldn't just sit here and keep my mouth shut when I saw so many things being said in Final TC that were very contradictory from post to post.
At the same time this is as much a demonstration of what I did in comparison to Danni as to why I should win, I think I showed the biggest flaws in her game, that didn't exist in mine.
