Henry's Opening Statement

I think Wendy actually put it best when she said "Henry is the cockroach that just won't die." haha. When I started this game, I was on the Aqua Tribe. I didn't know a single person in this game, but I entered a social situation where Faith knew every other player. Surviving by the skin of my teeth (and making up a fake idol) I moved onto the second tribal stage where I was a top performer for my tribe.

Early in the merge, I sat back as the Evil tribe fell apart. I knew that wasn't going to last forever. In the meantime, I collected information that I could use to exploit relationships later down the road. For example, Faith revealed to me during that time plans to blindside Ingrid.

At the Final 9 the game changed for me because I found my first real idol of the game. The game changed again for me within 24 hours because I found out I was getting blindsided. Using my newly found idol, I got Emily, Annie and Murphy to flip on Faith's plan, and I survived.

I just wouldn't die.

The Final 7 brought into play a new idol, and with it, a new blindside. Using Taylor's clue I found my second idol. We had the intentions to use it together to get to the top 5, but neither of us expected Emily and Murphy to flip on us at the same time. To me, the move didn't make sense for the Ventus Girls, but the deed was done. I wasn't dead yet, and my idol forced the Taylor-voters to turn on each other for the Final 6.

The last two rounds of the game didn't leave me with many options because I had been screwed over so many times. I figured absolutely no one would want to sit next to me at the end, and so my plan was to pretty much do my best to win out. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Somehow, Annie and Emily decided that Wendy was more of a threat in the Final 4, and that Ingrid was more of a jury threat than I. Honestly, I think they're wrong, but we'll see. Faith, you told our castmates that if I sat in the F3 I would win. Here I am, and I didn't get the immunity run that I thought I needed.

I have 3 Individual Immunities, 2 Hidden Immunity Idols, 1 Fake Idol, and 10 Tribal Council votes cast against me to my name.

I am extremely thankful of getting the chance to play with all of you, and I am fully aware that any little change at any of the junctures of this game could result in any one of you being here. That being said, I look forward to defending my game and getting to hear from all of you.

Thanks!
Henry
