Okay guys well done on makeing the final.

Neleh do you think you would have made the final if you had not won the final 3 immunity challenges and what would you have done if you had not of won them.?

Nice question, John!

To be honest, I don't think ANY of those Immunity wins were essential for me to get to the point i'm at now. However, it was nice to win the last 3 Immunity Challenges, though.

At the Final 5, I know I didn't need immunity. I had the hidden immunity idol in my possession, and that was the last round it could have been used, so had I not won immunity that round, I probably would have just used the Idol. However, I don't even think I needed the hidden immunity idol that round, to be honest. The vote was clearly going to be between Rudy/Yul, and no matter what happened, I think it would have went that way. The only reason I gave Rudy my hidden immunity Idol was so that I personally did not have to vote for Yul to leave this game, because I didn't want to do that. However, I knew I needed him out since he was (maybe after or along with Ibe and Rob C.) my biggest competition to earn the title of winner. Therefore, I said I would vote Rudy with Yul and Rob C., did so, but gave Rudy my hidden immunity Idol. It was a way to get Yul out of the game without actually having to vote for him. Had I lost immunity that round, however, I either would have done the same thing, or just kept the Idol for myself and voted for Yul.

At Final 4, if I did not win immunity, I would have still voted for Rob C. because he was my biggest competition. It was clear from the results of that challenge that had I not won it, Rudy would have, so what I did there still stands. I do also believe that Sydney and Rudy would also have voted him with me.

At Final 3 if I didn't win, I would still be there with Sydney and Rudy, and both of them said they would take me, so I still think I would be sitting here. I had a Final 2 deal with Rudy and I was closer with Sydney than Rudy was, so I think I was sitting pretty at that point. Had Rob C. been there, he said he would also have taken me, so I think I put myself in a very good position regardless of if I won any of those challenges or not.

Thanks, John.

Good question. Neleh deserves this, I will not dispute that. As for not speaking to you, that is my fault, and I am really sorry for that. Why should you not vote Neleh? While she did play an awesome game, both socially and strategically, there were moves that I made that she did not. Or at least did not think of before me. The move at the final five was one such instance. The plan was to take out Syd and go to the final four with Yul and Rob. But I mentioned that it would not be wise to take a challenge competetor like Rob or Yul to the final three, as it would give us a better chance to be the final two. Granted, Neleh was also thinking along those same lines.

I am sorry if that is not what you wanted to hear. I can't trash Neleh or say that she played a worse game than me, because I think we both played a hell of a good game. That, and I respect her as a player and I hope, a friend.

Thank you John
