Ruben: I'm not a loser! I don't suck! There are plenty players worse than me! Maybe it's YOU who sucks! Ever thought about that? HUH? HUH? I DO NOT SUCK! YOU SUCK!

Nathaniel: I don't consider myself to be self-absorbed. I do think I played a good game, and yes, luck did have something to do with it, but isn't the be all and end all of my game. As for my strategic game, I never claimed to be a strategic genius, but I had a strategy, stuck to it, and won. So I think I have a good strategy, even if luck did play a part.

1) My strategy was to create the social bonds, let the bigger threats take each other out, get my goat to the end, and win. I did all those things. Therefore, I had a good strategic game. There's no need to explain it further.

2) Since always. I knew coming into the merge that my biggest goat was Ruben, with him having flipped on Apolima. Come the final nine, he became even more of a goat, and that's when I knew I had toi keep him to the end. It's why I steered my alliance away from Ruben as much as possible.

3) Of course I would have taken Ruben to the end, because my plan all along was to take Ruben. I would have been honest with Vinny about it, though.

4) Yes, I'm well aware of that. I knew going into the Final Tribal that some people wouldn't respect my game. I'm really not surprised that Desiree and Sasha voted for Ruben. I expected as much.

5) Because it was in my best interests strategically. Skanda was a solid ally I could use to jump ship and get rid of Kiki, and Ruben was my goat. Sasha was a dangerous player, It was a no brainer.

6) I regret saying that at the Final Tribal Council. I just let my temper get the better of me. I'd been building animosity towards Hans since he eliminated Rebecca, and I just had to let it out. It was worth it to get it out in the end though, because if Hans had found that out months later, it would have been much worse.
