Welcome to Final Tribal Council. It's time for this game to wrap up. All season long I've been asking you questions before the vote in an attempt to see what move is best for you. This time, the job is in the Jury's hand. Each of our 9 jury members will be asking a question or giving a statement to the final two to help decide whose name they will be writing down.
Todd & Jessica, please take this time to give an opening statement. However long it is or what it even says is completely up to your judgement. Once both of you have posted this, the Jury will be making their own individual threads to give their questions and statements. All jury members are required to do this or else they risk replacement.
Good luck to you both and congratulations on making it here!

First off I wanna thank Jess for taking me to the Final 2. Without each other, we wouldn't have been able to make it this far. This game has been the craziest game I have ever played, and I don't think a game has ever made me more paranoid. There were a lot of highs and lows, many hours of sleep lost, a couple dozen lies and a handful of the most intense tribal councils I have ever been a part of.
My strategy coming into this game was to form a solid alliance and take it as far as I could. I was able to succesfully accomplish that, although I faced a couple bumps in the road, but that is to be expected in Survivor. The way that I was perceived in my alliance was out of my control, and if that was on the outs or a coattail rider then so be it. I don't feel like I was either of those things. But because I was perceived as on the outs, there was a time when I had the option to consider betraying my alliance, but I chose not to. I believe I made the right decision because I am sitting here in the Final 2, and who knows what would have happened had I made the other decision. I am proud of myself in this game because I was pro-Dani the entire time, I never wavered from that, and the Final 3 was all original Dani. Being in the minority after the first merged tribal and still being able to get your alliance to the end is no easy feat, and Jess and I (Kenny too) each did our part to make sure the game turned out the way it did.
Although the game is almost over, I feel like I still have a lot of work to do. I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say and I can't wait to answer any questions you may have for me.

This has been a long and crazy game and I want to start by saying thanks to KC for being an amazing host. If you asked me a month ago if I thought I would be sitting here today, I would have told you no. I had 12 votes against me total in this game. Due to the fact that two hidden immunities idols were given to me, 10 of those votes do not count. I would have never thought that I would have had such amazing allies to have done that for me.
My main alliance when the game started was Todd, Michelle and Kenny. In order to have majority on the original Dani tribe we also aligned with Colby and Erin. When Erin was no longer showing up for challenges, or even just to socialize she was quickly replaced with Natalie who showed that she wanted to be there. When the tribe swap occurred, we lost Kenny and Natalie but I ended up gaining JT. At merge, even after Michelle and Colby had been voted out for the most part I stuck to my alliance with Jt, Kenny and Todd.
A major part of my strategy was of course strategizing. I came up with numerous plans throughout this game, not all of which I'm going to get into now. An example of my strategizing is the vote in which Heidi was voted out. At this particular tribal I already knew that we would have three for sure votes against Heidi which would have been my vote, Kenny's and Todd's. Jt was the swing vote because at that point while I knew him and I were aligned, he could still have gone either way. After talking to JT about it I convinced JT to vote out Heidi instead of siding with the others and voting out Kenny.
I feel I played one of my best games, and possibly the most aggressive game. I'm sure theres tons more that I could get into but I'm going to wait for your questions that I will be looking forward to answering.
