Hey everyone, it is with great pride that I sit here today in front of all of you, the jury, I have made it as far as any player can make it by their own hands and I have achieved doing what all 12 of us wanted to do since day 1. Now, I'm powerless and my whole destiny is in the hands of the seven of you, it's up to you to decide if I'm crowned the winner or my last opponent, Natalie, deserves it. I hope that you would vote for who you feel truly played the best game and not because of personal feelings towards me or her, after how hard all of us played I think that the winner should be the person who deserves it the most. It wouldn't be fair that after how hard everyone fought to get here that the winner wasn't simply the best.
I played a strong game, in the beggining I won a lot of competitions, which surprised me a lot since I usually suck at those, but I won and I had a lot of power. I made game changing moves and I was honest most of the time and very up-front, I had a strong social game as well and I managed to make things go my way even when they weren't looking bright and uphill for me. Every time I voted I voted out the person who went home which shows how good my personal game was that I was always in the majority, I made strong alliances and fake ones that would help me in the future.
I played this game strong, smart and with heart so I hope you can consider me for your vote. Before I wrap this up I want to turn to my oponent RatALie and wish her the best of luck, we did it whore!
~Daniele.

Hey, jury. Well I'll get right to it.
At this point it's probably obvious to all of you that me and Daniele were in an alliance with Autumn, Michele and Amber. Both myself and Daniele played similarly in that we were both loyal to that group. However, I think I was more instrumental in getting that group to the end and therefore am more deserving to win.
First, in the competition aspect, I won more than Daniele. Both of Daniele's HoHs were mostly luck based, while I won some of the memory/skill based competitions. In addition, to that, I was always planning ahead. I checked last seasons comps and prepared for them by taking notes and sending them to the members of my alliance. Most of the notes ended up being worthless, but they DID pay off in some instances. For example, the before and after competition. Amber and Autumn got perfect scores because of the notes I had sent them a week prior. I also sent an excel chart to Autumn & Daniele in preparation for the f4 HoH (I was wrong about it being HoH but it ended up being the PoV so it paid off anyway), which is why all 3 of us had faster times than Alex. Without these competitions wins, our alliance wouldn't have succeeded.
Also, I feel like I was kind of the middle chain in our group and without me the alliance would have splintered. Amber & Daniele aren't as close to Autumn as I am, and from early on they had suggested nominating her or letting her go because they didn't think she cared about the game or would help us. I was always the one that had to convince them not to do it, not only because she is our friend but because she is a loyal ally to us, and it wouldv'e been a horrible waste of an HoH week to evict her. I actually got into huge fights with Amber over it but it paid off, because Autumn ended up never being nominated until the f3.
Soo... because of all of this, I feel I am the most deserving to be the winner of this game. Without me I think the group that dominated the game wouldn't have done as well as it did.
However, Daniele, if you win I will be happy for you because I truly <3 you and we will be friends forever. good luck.
