Austin, you are such an amazing ally to me always. You are simply the best! <3 I was sad to not be on the same tribe as you at game start, but we were able to run the game better working from both tribes. Congrats on finals, and either winner is a great choice! <3

Jury Speech: I started this tribe on the Oni tribe, which was full of inactive players. We lost over and over again until we had only the three of us left. Thankfully I had Fran and Spike on the Oni tribe with me, who remained active and dedicated to helping us win the three challenges we won, otherwise none of us would have merged. When we merge, we were down 3-5. I knew that there was a final 4 Discord chat with Just, Robert, Bubby, and Sexy. I asked Akshay if I could make a deal with him. If he switched to work with my tribe, I would go with him and Sexy to final 3, backstabbing my own tribe at final 5. Akshay put so much trust in me that he allowed the Oni tribe it's first ever majority in final 5. But I kept my bargain with Akshay, and voted off my own tribe in final 5 and 4. I made the deals and moves necessary to get myself to the final 2, and I'm really proud of my game. I hope you consider voting me to be this season's winner. <3

JURY SPEECH Pre Merge I was a part of an amazing alliance with Bubba , Robert991 and Justdontevictme formed Day 1. I also formed a great bond with Akshay. Post merge my 'Vote Cinnamon' Alliance was taken out one by one. My immunity wins along with being good with Akshay and Bowler helped me get to this point. I feel like I had a very well balanced game and tried to be as loyal as I could be. 9th - SummerMariah I love you fr fr. You make me nervous with outcasted however you were actually a huge help to my game because you don't play your comps. lol you are a Sexytexer at heart. <3 8th - Justdontevictme we hit it off strong at the start of the game. I give you a lot of the credit for our alliance forming. You are new to the site but I think your social game is really strong. Sadly the comp skills were your undoing but that will come with time. I adored getting to play this game with you! 7th - Robert991 You are another one that I clicked with right away. You gave off good vibes and I felt that you would be loyal. The opposing alliance left me out of that vote even though we had a good idea it would be you or bubba next. I definitely look forward to gaming with you again. 6th - bubba playing this game with you was so much fun! You were our shield pre merge for whatever reason you were their target. Once our alliance started to get picked off post merge there really wasn't much that could have been done. You were a solid ally to have. :) 5th - Spikedcurley I know we have a friendly relationship outside this game. I appreciate you not voting me off for 5th and going as far as self voting. Once we got to merge I felt like I was well connected with the others so I didn't want to blow smoke. I don't think I could really offer you much for this game but I do think you are cool. 4th - fran Im sorry for voting for you so much! LOL I didn't reach out for the same reason as spiked. I felt good with the bonds I had and I didn't want to overplay it knowing that I would have stayed true to them. Nothing personal! You played a great game. 3rd - Akshay - We worked so well together this game. I know you probably felt like you were on the outs pre merge. I did my part in looking out for you to make sure you were not the vote. You looked out for me when I was vulnerable for 5th. I have so much respect for you as a player and person. It was an absolute joy to play this game with you. Bowler - Your friendship means a lot to me. We both play these games pretty hard but we always look out for eachother. I am so happy to bring you to the F2 with me. You played a great game! BUTTTTTTTT I do think I played a better one. :P VOTE TEX <3 if you have any questions feel free to reach out.

Trusted the right people. Thank you guys. ❤️

Congrats Austin! So proud of you! Great game to you both! <3

I will be posting a jury Speech after DC. Thank you both for a great game!
