Hey lovely jury!So I'll just post my closing statement so you could all vote and hopefully Pascaline will return back so soon! 
I really hope you remember while voting that this game is not only about being strong at challenges and lying to people and manipulating them.It's also about using social skills to be nice,friends with everyone and easily gain their trust.I did my best to get to know each and everyone of you,and speak strategy with you,either it was voting time or not.And with that,I kind of made everyone comfortable with keeping me around,and unaware of how threatning I could be.I always kept myself in a power position,either by making double deals or side alliances.I always had a say in the vote.I tried my hardest to make moves that would advance me in this game,at the same time not lose anyone or make any enemies.It's really hard to get to the end with no enemies and without pissing anybody off,which is what I did.Like you can just win immunities,stay safe each time and you won't get voted out!It's also easy to backstabb and lie,then just say you played a good game,but I didn't go that way!I focused while answering my questions on speaking my mind and explaining my strategy,I've been 100% honest & genuine with everything I said.I didn't like just focus on bashing the one sitting next to me all the time and mentioning how bad they played,because I think we both deserve it anyway.I was more focused on convincing you and explaining how well I played.I believe I played a very good game,with a different strategy.Strategically,socially and physically well balanced.Finally,I wanna thank you again for such a great & fun season!Please vote for the one that you truely want to see winning this game!
I wish Pascaline would return back one day and end this game!
Good luck Sugah Cane!
