Welcome juries to the vote for Ella speech. Today, I will try my hardest to convince you all the vote for me and giving me the price of a virtual million dollars which will be invested in a big party in Ibiza with the whole cast!! Alright let's be serious now, because I have a lot to tell you guys.
Coming to this season brought a lot of drama, already on day one. Because Tom and Xavier told halve of the tribe I was sneaky and about to backstab people I became #1 on the target list. However, I got Wesley and Blaine on my tribe who were my closest allies in Survivor: Hawaii. Because of these events I had to play really really hard to get myself out of the dangerzone and to put the target on Tom's back instead of mine. I was scared that I would fail in this. I wasn't sure if Trace, Kevin, Brian and Alex would vote with me for Tom. At the same time, Tom asked me to allign and actually we started to work together. I worked with him for one crucial reason. Throwing him under the bus so I wouldn't be on the target list anymore. We won the first two challenges and lost the third challenge. I caused that. Because, the only way we could earn an idol was to throw the challenge the most. I tried, but failed to get the idol. I knew people were after me because of that. But somehow, I convinced people to allign with me and to make a strong bond with each of the Khan members to get me through the vote without getting any vote(s). I play Secret Story All Stars with Brian, I was in a final four with Nathaniel in an other game and I became close friends with Trace. Because of this I targeted Tom, Kevin, Xavier and Alex. First I went after Tom (at the our first TC). Along with my allies Blaine and Wesley we pulled out a move against Tom which brought us from the bottom to the top. And we made a move again at our second TC. The one Kevin left. Because Kevin was the only one who failed to submit for the challenge I knew he was going to get the idol. So us and a few others made a move against Kevin. Nathaniel was Kevin's target so it was pretty sure we would have had the votes if everyone stayed loyal. But still, it was a close one. After that elimination, our tribe became messy. Wesley asked me a few times if I was after him. At that point, I wasn't. I was pushing for a Blaine-Wesley-Ella F3. The only one left in that tribe who could've destroyed our chances would be Xavier. So getting Xavier out was a obvious thing to do. The Hawaii alliance + Nathaniel, Brian & Trace/Alex. I am still curious who wasn't with us. But we got the votes to take out Xavier at the double tribal council. And then we merged. If you look back at the pre merge game, you can see I kind of played the underdog part. Being #1 on the target list and working myself off to reach the top with my allies Wesley and Blaine is something I'm very proud of. And going to the merge with all my allies was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
We merged and even though I wasn't sure about everyone's position in the game I really wanted to win immunity to see who has the control of the fans/faves, who is a target and what will happen next after this vote. So it was crucial to earn immunity. Too bad my flag sucked (not creative at all XD) and Julez won immunity. Julez was the only one I never talked with inside and outside the game. So that was kinda scary. But I was convinced that I'd survive if I stayed loyal to my allies. I got to know Martynas better and even we were on different sides for the upcoming vote, we were pretty bonded and I felt I could work together with him. So at tribal council, one of the messiest things happened. The favorites went after each other. Because I heard rumors about a Blaine-Wesley-Hannah-Felix-Johnny alliance I kinda felt used by Wesley and Blaine. I talked with Wesley about it and for some reason, I got the feeling he was lying to me. I already heard Wesley's name coming up somewhere but when I ended by conversation with Wesley I started to get more people to vote him off. At the 'other siiiiiiide' which concludes Wesley, Blaine, Hannah etc I checked who was the target and we agreed on getting Nathaniel out. I knew Nathaniel was a obvious target and to see if they were trustworthy I wanted to have a obvious target from their side. But this tribal council was so freaking messy. Nathaniel went home, which was a blindside for him, for me and for our alliance. Nathaniel leaving made all the lines undrawn. It was so crazy. So with me being lying to people, people lying to me and a open game for everyone I was freaking scared I would be the next boot. Winning immunity was a crucial moment. And I don't know if it was luck of I got help from above (i love you grandmother) but it was one of my favorite flash games. And guess what? I won it. So after I won immunity I had to share the idol clue with three people. I chose Julez, Martynas & Trace. Trace because he was a little bit inactive since the merge, Julez was one of the targets from the faves and Martynas because I saw him as a close ally and because he got a fight with Wesley earlier. Because the five (Wesley, Blaine, Hannah, Felix and Johnny) were still together, and I'm almost sure they voted together, I wanted to make a move against them. I was really unsure if they were alligned with me. So instead of going with the majority and voting Trace I tried to put the target on Hannah. Weird because Hannah and I were like besties pre game and we have been such amazing friends. But in games, we are flop friends lol. So because I wanted to target Hannah, she came to me and asking me about it. I was kinda confused since I trusted the people I talked to about targeting Hannah. Because Trace wasn't online that much he got voted out with a big majority which sucked. Again, I was on the bottom.
At the next vote, I finally made my move by myself. Me, Julez and Martynas shared some idea's in the idol clue chat. The one I won immunity, giving them a clue. However, when I brought up Wesley's name they both agreed very fast. The same for Alex, who was very close to me. But 7 people voted Wesley at the tribal council. 4 didn't. So one of the alliance of the five flipped or that five alliance never existed. Anyway, I voted off Wesley and I felt terrible for it. He got mad, which is understandable, and I told him I was sad. I am still sad I had to do that, but I never regret voting him out. Wesley is a strong competitor and is in it to win it. A lot of respect for him but I came to this game to win. Julez received four votes and that was a sign that I had all the control for the vote since I knew Wesley wanted Julez out. Sorry Wes, you are still my Welseye. After the Wesley vote we switched in two different tribes. Johnny, Felix, Blaine, Alex and myself. The first thing I thought; I'm s-c-r-e-w-e-d. The only one I got in that tribe was Alex. My allies Brian, Martynas, Julez and Jake were put in the other tribe. So after we switched I made a favorite chat including the faves Alex, Blaine and myself. We agreed to work together and made a deal to do a Favorites F3. Honestly, I didn't wanted that but it was my only chance to survive since I barely talked with Johnny in the game and Felix and I have been on different sides of the votes. It was clear those two wouldn't work with me. But we actually worked great as a tribe. Everyone was willing to put a lot of effort in challenges and we did a great job as tribe. Until our tribal council. I wanted Johnny out. I don't remember who told me but I heard Johnny was seen as the leader of the fans. So taking him out would be the best option however I was worried about Felix being still here I was glad he was alone and not with Hannah since she was voted out. It sucked Hannah left, since we never had time to work together but Hannah was on the 'other siiiide' so I was okay with it. Back to our own tribal council, the favorites sticked together and we voted out Johnny. I was so glad it worked. I got both Alex and Blaine with me. But seeing Johnny going home was kinda sad. I like Johnny even though he gave wrong info about Koah Rong. (SPOILER) Alecia wasn't first boot!!!!! (SPOILER). We won next challenge and the other tribe voted 2-2. Brian/Jake against Julez. Martynas/Julez against Brian. I hoped Julez stayed, besides being allies she was also one of the goats this season while I had the feeling Brian played a better game. So Julez winning the tie gave me different feelings. I felt bad Brian was eliminated but Julez, one of my picks to go to FTC with, won it.
We remerged at final seven. It was good to get reunited with Martynas, Jake and Julez. Something great happened. Rivalry between Jake and Julez. Because they voted on different sides. The only one I was worried about Felix. I was scared he was after me and because people told me they heard my name around I went to Felix and asked him about it. He even told me right in the face he was targeting me. So at that moment, I tried to get as much as votes to get Felix out. It was hard since Julez wanted to vote Blaine out so bad. Martynas didn't wanted to vote Felix. Felix wouldn't vote himself ofcourse. So instead of them voting me, they voted Alex. At the revote I could get the votes to let Alex stay. I worked so hard on Julez and made a deal with her to take Blaine out next round. The revote was a 5-0 vote. I took out my enemy, my biggest competitor and even I voted him out it made us friends again. We talked a bit, shared a laugh and joked with each other. Something that hasn't happened since Azerbaijan F5 XD. After the Felix vote, I guessed for the idol and I got it right. I found the ailo idol. With that baby I felt like I could beat anything and anyone. Because of the idol I started to make goals. From little goals to big goals. Going to the end with Martynas and Julez, taking out the threats, winning immunity at least one time, playing my idol at final five and staying friends with everyone left in the game. That last goal was hard to make true the next vote since I promised Julez to target Blaine. I needed her full trust since she was someone who could've backstabbed you easily in the back. (See what happened with Hannah's vote off. I knew what was happening but I think Hannah deserved a better exit than that imo.) So I was sure Julez wouldn't have high chances of getting jury votes at the end because of her goat gameplay and backstabbing everyone without mercy. Anyway, going back to the Blaine vote - I felt I betrayed Blaine. We were close allies pre merge. But when we merged and remerged I never really felt we were together. It was weird for my feeling, I didn't know where he stood in the game. But because we've been through so much and I feel like he is one of my best friends in this community I wrote a long apologizing/explanation speech in his PM since I felt I had to do that. With Blaine out, I was the last one of the Hawaii alliance, and the Hawaii representives. I had to make Wesley and Blaine proud and to slay the last people left in the game. Because Martynas was always silent and I felt he was easy to beat, I had a new F3 in my mind. Martynas-Ella-Julez. This had to happen. That would be the smartest choice for me. So from that moment, I worked to reach that.
We reached final five, the time I would play my idol. Everyone except Jake knew about the idol. (Thanks Alex... XD). I wanted to take out Jake at that moment. Jake was the one I couldn't beat at FTC for my feeling. Maybe with a little difference but still no guarantees. I felt like I could beat Martynas and Julez easily. Alex never made huge moves nor did something special this season however he won immunity a few times. So my only target left was Jake. And juries believe me, this blindside was the hardest to do. If I played this game with my heart, I would've been sitting with y'all in ponderosa, drinking some beer and eating burgers watching Jake, Alex and Martynas sitting at FTC. But I played this game with my head and turned the placements and took out Jake. I told Jake before the results he was going. Because Jake was an amazing friend, allie and we were so close together I had to tell him that. Another move worked this time, getting him out with majority. I'm still feeling bad for him. But, we reached final four. I knew that I would be going home if I didn't win the last immunity challenge. I spend 6 hours after each other on the constelliations, I worked so hard on the messy tribe flag and the tetris game... it caused me to throw my laptop out of my room lol. But I completed it with impressive scores, winning every single part of the challenge and guaranteed a FTC spot with 0 votes against me. I targeted Alex and told him that (same reason as Jake and Blaine). Because this last game phase is crucial for your fate. I needed to stay everyone as a friend. But Julez flipped. She flipped on me and Martynas and for my feeling, she screwed her game up. She already did but now, with Martynas going home probably, she had 0% chance at winning. I told her that and she became mad at me. So, that didn't made sense. Alex won the tie, which makes him sitting next to me. Martynas left which was very sad. The end result: Ella-Alex-Julez. A final three I'm happy with based on strategy, winning chance and friendship.
After making a long story a short one: I played the ultimate OTT game. Being #1 on the target list since day one, working my ass off and from the bottom reaching the top in my tribe. Making moves against the pre-merge people along with my close allies Blaine and Wesley. We worked as a team and I give the moves credit to those two and myself. Played my own game at merge, staying out of the dangerzone until the Felix vote where I again worked my ass off and reaching the top of the game taking out my enemies and threats. Winning immunity on the time I needed it the most and entering FTC with 0 votes against me. I had the outwit, outplay, outcast factor. Even I was seen as a threat I managed to get myself on the top of the tribe(s) and voting with the majority except for some votes. I think I proved myself from what I've done in other orgs. I finally entered a FTC with a chance on winning. If I look at the jury, the other two finalists and my gameplay, I hope and think I have a chance to win.
So, this is the end of my speech. I hope I convinced y'all with my speech (10-0-0 vote and I don't only take y'all with me to Ibiza, I will also buy a mansion for all of you including Eden as your personal butler. Haha, well I just wanna say I'm proud on what I've done in this game. I want to wish Alex and Julez goodluck with their speeches and answers and the juries with the questions and as last their vote.
Thanks for reading this novel. Oh almost forgot to ask this, don't we look cute here? Or do I mean terrible XD. Anyway, have a nice day and I'll be waiting for your questions!
