Jaclyn Schultz

This is where Jaclyn will post her opening statement.

Good afternoon, Jury.

I first want to start off by saying Hi to all of you. I haven't seen some of you in a while and some of you I had to ignore towards the end when it was your time to go. I hope life is good.

If you want to vote for the "best player" in this game then look no further than yours truly. Majorly generalized, I am up next to someone that won her way here, and to someone else who only voted in the majority when I included him in it. Both of them were left out of most of the major gameplay. I know Kelley has a following and so does Dan, but if I was on the jury, neither of them would be getting my vote. Kelley played a bad game early on and had to win, and this was witnessed by myself because I was on Huora and we were targeting her. Not a strong story line there. And Dan rubbed nearly every single person the wrong way and I was constantly having to change the target from him to someone else.

However, I know every individual votes differently. Just like their personal strategies in the game, with the jury portion it isn't any different. If my above statement isn't enough to convince you, then I'm here to answer your questions. It could also be puzzling to some that I chose Dan over Rob, and I do have my reasons...

Kelley wanted this to be "easy", so she told me and Rob to vote Dan out. She said to vote Dan out at every tribal, actually. I think that's the only name she ever wrote down, the couple of times she voted. So this is funny. From my perspective, both of them are "easy". And Dan did more. If Kelley hadn't been immune, bye. I feel like Rob was more deserving but she had the necklace.

I also want to apologize for playing a darker game than I planned to. I feel like the immunity twist changed things for me and I played a more low-key-visibility game because of it. I never wanted to win it because I noticed it was causing drama for the parties involved. I did show up like clockwork every time, 30 minutes after the challenge, though. Oops, I had work sorry!

So I just stayed out of that mess, sat back and plotted my moves accordingly. There were a couple of moments where I felt bad about how I acted in a situation, and if anyone got caught in those cross hairs, I do apologize for how you felt about it. I was admittedly sneaky, I feigned indifference when I was actually cold and calculating, and I was willing to cut throats to get ahead, even if your back was turned. I also noticed that the huge amount of alliance rooms was confusing people. It even confused me early on. So I asked the host to make 9 more rooms just to confuse you guys even further. Some of the rooms I wasn't even in. And then to see people fighting in them? Nobody knew which way was up by the end of this, except for me, and that was my goal.

Towards the end I started to sense that a couple people did not like me that much, or trust me. That was a correct perception. Disliking though, that I don't understand. I was here to win from the very beginning and although I did sweat at every tribal council because I'm a realist, I was never, ever a target and all of my moves are what told the story for this game. You won't find that in the other 2 finalists. I'm not saying they did nothing at all, or that they don't have plays to speak of. But just for me personally, a good overall story is what a winner should embody. Did you have a lot of say in what happened here this season?

I feel I did.

Thank you very much for giving the 3 of us your time and good luck with your decisions:)

Kelley wanted this to be "easy", so she told me and Rob to vote Dan out.

Well I said this so we could stand a chance to win, but ok, use this against me. Whatever.

No, not at all. I'm just quoting what you said. I thought about it a lot last night. I feel bad that maybe I'm coming across rudely about this and will admit that my opening statement was me finally speaking my mind after a long time of wanting to. You weren't terrible or anything. I just know that the game is still going on and I want to try to beat you. Truly no hard feelings and I wish you the best <3

I won't be answering anymore questions here. It's clear I'm not going to win and there's just yet again a bunch of fucking crybabies. lol.

It really is nasty how people act on these things. I will excuse Todd cause he actually is a mentally handicapped idiot and never quite understands the games he plays - Cooltu.

This is the last game I'm playing. People here truly are losers.

And Kelley I'm sorry but your game is shit. The fact that you're going to win just proves my point.

Thanks Tina and Sandra <3

And by the way this is the fourth game I've made finals in. I obviously do something right. Sorry that you guys suck and dedicate so much time and I don't need to do that cause I'm amazing.

Peace out to some, fuck off to the rest.

Well that's the thing though, if my game is shit, your job was to convince the jury of such. If you dont want to do that, then you are the crybaby.

This is hilarious.

Congrats Jaclyn, good luck
