[Joel Anderson]

Okay guys here it is...
The final 2 and all of you my jury has contributed to me sitting here along side of jonny
You helped get us this far and now we are asking each of you in turn to give us our votes
I may have not done a lot of good things but i did what i had to do to get this far in the game.
It may have been nasty some of the time but you have to see from my perspective what i did and why.
A lot of my choices revolved around alliances and being with people tthat i trusted
Early in the game i surrounded myself with the people i thought were strong.
I almost never won any challenges and i knew i would have to rely on my persuasion skills to get me ahead
And they worked all of the time
I deserve to be here because i was a smart player
I know how to play and I think i did a good job doing that.

I look forward to all of your questions and thank you again for the fun Journey.
