This is where Dan will post his opening statement

I come into this tribal council perceived, as I have in 11 other tribal councils, as the underdog. It's bittersweet knowin I was responsible for sending my best friend in this game the jury knowin' I lost his vote.

My strategy was simple. Fans of this game have no concept of basic math. The larger your numbers, the farther you get. I made sure I was on the right side of the numbers at every step of the game.

Before the schoolyard pick, I made connections, or tried to anyway, with Natalie, Jaclyn, Hayden, Cirie, Crystal, and Aubry. After the tribes were established I made connections with Brenda, Spencer, and the one man wrecking crew, Robb. I was on the majority of a losing tribe. We went to tribal two out of three times winning once thanks to the dominating combo of my unwavering awesomeness and determination and Brenda's strength, speed, and intelligence.

Then I went from one losing tribe to another. In fact, I was the only one that showed up for one particular challenge and I was posting tirelessly like Tom Brady throwing touchdowns to win. It took Sandra to tell me to stop.

My lone awesomeness aside, it was on the NuVittu tribe that the true dominant alliance was formed. I reconnected with Jaclyn and really connected with Boston Rob, the dude and me just clicked. We took out Gary and Rebecca, I knew I was probably toast at that point but then the merge happened.

I had some options. Aubry and Todd, I tried to talk to them early on. Todd never gave me the time of day. Aubry just stopped talking to me. They were out. I chose Natalie. Our threesome became a foursome and the alliance just grew.

I won an immunity which I kept and Robb was booted which sucked for me I admit. I wanted to keep that crazy sonofabitch around as long as possible and I even considered handing over my immunity to him but I knew that would probably suck for me in the long run. It didn't help when I was told that once you say you keep it you can't give it away.

After Robb left, I became public enemy number 1. It's clear my awesomeness was too overwhelmin'. Those who were as awesome as me versus those jealous of my irresistible awesomeness.

Natalie, Boston Rob, Jaclyn, and me began runnin the show. I was left out of a couple of votes like Spence's and Cirie's but I was in the know.

Don't get me wrong, Kelley is a fine example of a finalist. She won immunities and kept her hands clean while bein' completely oblivious to game goin' on around her. The fact I'm sittin' here is the best example of how clueless she was. I don't mean to sound like a dick I'm just sayin as it is. She's wanted me gone for at least 4 votes.

I know I'm not the sexy pick, but keep in mind, one thing. While I was fightin' and gettin' my hands dirty comin' to tribal council after tribal council, Kelley was safe, immune, and exempt from votin'. While I was agonizing over whether to vote out Boston Rob or Jaclyn, Kelley was just sittin' back enjoyin' a drink hopin' I'd go next.

I'm hopin' that you the jury can see the truth, who sat back and relied on immunities to save themselves and who worked their ass off night after night, gettin their hands dirty to get here.

On a personal note, I do want to thank Natalie, Jaclyn, Robb, and Boston Rob for helping to get me here.

Thank you for the alliance, Mr Postman.

We made it from day one and I have enjoyed playing the game with you. Good luck<3

Congrats Dan, good luck
