I am so grateful to be sitting here in the Final 2 pleading my case to the jury. When this game began I was placed on the Zazu tribe. We were not the strongest tribe by any means, in fact we were a disaster. Snakes were biting us as we slept, we lost nearly every challenge and our tribe idol was burned the very first round on an inactive player. Despite this I managed to maneuver my way through five tribal councils without receiving a single vote. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without my sister, Drewski. She was my closest ally on my original tribe and the entire game. Coming into the merge at a tribal number disadvantage to most would appear as a death sentence. However, I was lucky enough to have some pull with my good judies from the Orivana tribe and form a new alliance with Buffy, Naughty and Drewski. We were the core 4 and ready to go all the way. Obviously, this group wasn’t exactly a secret so to say. The Orivana Tribe tried to make the move early for a reason. With merge coming so late, we were easily able to gain the majority numbers with the help of JessieKowalski. At the Final 8, I was beginning to feel my voice in the group wasn’t being heard. I wanted to vote for Dimitra instead of WowPlatinum, but I was the only one. Wow was sadly voted out. This weakened my game as I lost a crucial swing vote and potential ally in the game. I began to get paranoid with my positioning in my core four alliance which was now a five that included JessieKowalski. While Jessie is a queen, I know their loyalties were more so with their OG tribemates and long time friends Buffy and Nacho. I decided the Final 7 would be a perfect time to take a shot and set me up for smooth sailing going into the endgame. Unfortunately, the vote did not work out for us and Saffron was voted out. I believe there was some vote locking shenanigans there as Saffron, Drewski, Dimitra and I all swear we voted out Jessie that night. Thankfully for me I was able to win my first individual immunity of the season after this failure of a vote to keep myself safe. At this point in the game I was trapped into my five person alliance and voted for Dimitra at the final 6. There were other plans though, unexpectedly Buffy played her idol on herself (negating 0 votes) and a tie vote took out my closest ally Drewski. I was now the last Zazu standing and had to keep fighting, here I won my second individual immunity to guarantee my spot in the final 4. At this round I did not want to vote Dimitra again, I had already done it twice so a third time was not in the cards for me. I voted Jessie again, knowing I’d likely be the only one voting that way. Dimitra left and now we were officially the Final 4. I was nervous this would be my time. They had already killed my sister Drewski in cold blood. I figured they’d do the same to me, especially considering I had the most individual immunity wins at this point too. However, my allies pulled through for me and voted Jessie out bringing me to the Final 3 where I was once again able to win individual immunity for a third time and bring myself here. I pondered for a while over who to bring and ultimately decided I would bring NaughtyNacho. I chose Nacho instead of Buffy because Nacho was more loyal to me in this game. She put her neck out on the line for me and I have to repay the favor when it matters most. Buffy also needed to get chin checked a bit. If she wants more points she can win another race! Love you Buffy xoxo. I attended 12 tribal councils this season, receiving just 1 vote across all of them that came at the Final 4. NaughtyNacho made it through 1 tribal council and then received votes at the very next tribal council. NaughtyNacho is a fighter no doubt, but I had the harder fight here. TLDR: Denise Stapley of the Zazu tribe. Survived 12 Tribals and only received 1 vote coming at the Final 3. Won Three Individual Immunities, the most of the season. I played the game and I fought. Reward the fighter.

I did it! I did the impossible. Three Individual Immunities Kristen!
