Before I begin, I want to thank the JFP, Wes, and Austin for hosting this season. it was crazy but it was fun! secondly I want to thank everyone that played this season and you jurors, of which, I would not be sitting here today.
so here we are sitting in this final 2.
how do I start... ever since I watched survivor, I knew that I wanted to play. And in every org that I play I say that I want to be a villain, and when it comes time to cut ties and relationships I can't do it. Yes this is a game, but it should by no means be meant to hurt others. Knowing that I don't want to be that kind of person, I wanted to come into the game and make decisions but not decisions that would make others hate me.
You all know that I started on the horrible performing Ares Tribe. I immediately clicked with Zoe and Andrea, and were were quick to make a final 3 alliance so that no matter if we lose then we can at least force a tie straight away. I had also built a relationship with Michelle and Jon to cover all my bases on the original tribes. The first dilemma came at the very first tribal sure enough. Jon was originally suppose to go, and I had already confirmed my vote to Dan, when all of a sudden.. Jon showed up and started pleading his case. He really wanted to stay and promised us that he would be here for challenges from now on.
Zoe and I had already talked about who to vote for literally for hours, and Dan was no where to be found. Which is the reason that we took Dan out.
the next problem came in the third round, resulting in the tribe dissolve of old Brawn. I was chosen to be part of the old Athena tribe, which honestly I could not have been happier. I knew I had built a good relationship with PG and Ami, and that I got along with Max, but I still felt that even though I wouldn't be in immediate danger, I had to cover some bases. Matty had never spoken a word to me til this point, so the only option was Kass. Funny enough, the night of the tribe dissolve, Kass came to me saying that she was very happy that Zoe, Andrea and I were part of her tribe. She told me that she had no connections and that she was looking for a friend. This gave me some hope that Zoe, Andrea and I could work something out, so I tried to make her feel as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, I was sent to exile island that round. so saving Kass was not an option because Zoe and Andrea were there alone, and the others wanted Kass out due to Matty having a vote switcher.
Then the dreaded Pandora's box happened. The tribe swap palooza of the century. I, Jeff Wilson, put on a tribe where Andrea was the only one I had trusted til that point. I made it my mission that round to build a good relationship with Alexis and Katie, putting on an "anyone but me" mentality, when all of a sudden. Andrea comes to me and says that there was an Alliance made with Katie, Alexis, her and I. Of course in survivor, you never say no to an alliance. so I agreed. A day or two later, I started to get info from Jay and Max, that they wanted me to work with them and that Alexis was the leader of the other side. I was stuck in choosing a side. I thought about it, and realized how much Andrea trusted Alexis and Katie, and the trust she had with me was being diminished. So I chose Max and Jay, knowing Jon was the swing vote. What I didn't count on was that Jon had also flipped, how close he was to the 2 beauties. Max had also told me that he's trying literally his best to win immunity. Which made me realize that I would be in potential danger if I didn't have immunity, which is why I decided to post 1000 times in that challenge. Things did not go well premerge let me tell you lol.
AND THEN, that fucking box did it's thing again, this time putting me in a tribe with Ami and Zoe, 2 people that I could trust, and John and Andrea, 1 person that betrayed me and 1 that I knew was against me.
after voting John out, and winning the next challenge came the merge. The merge came and real life busyness started to get in the way, which is when I had to play as under the radar as possible, due to not being able to be online as much as I wanted, or at all in some cases. The outcast twist arrived and I all wanted was that John did not win because he was the one that would have been 100% against my side. Thankfully Dan won, and gave us new hope, which I can't thank enough.
no I might not have done much in the merge, but I honestly didn't need to. The war between beauties and Ami, Zoe, PG was great, I knew that as long as the other side had even 1 person I would be safe for one more round.
and then it happened, the fateful final 5 tribal. Ami wanted to vote Zoe out, to this point, Zoe had been my #1 for as long as I can remember. and Since pg also wanted Zoe out, the only person we could turn to was Katie, of course you guys saw how that worked out. but I'm proud, my chance to turn on an ally and I didn't I stayed true to her.
and then the final 4 tribal. After winning immunity I had promised Katie that I would tie the vote for her, because PG and Ami were most likely going to vote for her. what I didn't count on was how adamant PG was in getting Ami out afterwards. So there were 2 locked votes for Ami and 1 for pg with me as the swing. And I chose to tie the vote, not because I wanted to cause chaos, but because I felt that both Ami and Katie deserved a chance to stay in the game.
you guys know what happened next
What can I say, but thank you to the jurors for everything, for getting me here. I may not have been the strongest in immunity challenges but I won them when I needed them the most. I may not have been the most social but I did my best to help the people that I was working with. Thanks for reading and I hope you guys give me a chance in this Final Tribal.
