I made this for fun....
I'm not sure if I'll use it. Is this even allowed?

[Gabriel]

Not saying I'll use this as if it's real. It's clearly fake.

[Holly Hoffman]

You seem to be putting a lot of faith in your winning a few challenges to take you to the finals. In a game where the challenges have already been quite diverse in their nature, can you really rely on just winning challenges to get to the end? What would happen if you came up against a challenge you couldn't win? Do you have a back up plan?

It's been done before!

(In fact, I did it in my season, and then when I was voted out, Jeff used my fake merge HII as the real thing! #rude )

[Jeff Probst]

So tell me what has happened since the challenge. Did it open your eyes to anything in particular. Is there anything going forward that you took away from it?

[Gabriel]

It makes me paranoid when people are composing messages and I don't get them.

It really made me open my eyes that right now I might just be the one playing the suckiest game. I'm seen as the one that's the most under the radar game, and let's face it, more often than not that translates into a bad game. So I've just been trying to make myself more visible, which could be really easy and happening really soon, depending on if Patricia is in fact part of a blindside right now. I can give her my fake idol and try to get the vote off of her.

[Mia Galeotalanza]

So even after the "under the radar" thing, you still want to try and help Patricia?

At this point, I want to know how you're going to get to the end and defend your game. What moves have you made that you can take credit for? Who can you beat? Will "being nice" be enough to get the win?

[Gabriel]

... I'm not that bad of a player, am I?

I feel like I'm really disappointing all of you by being this really late applicant and still getting you guys to let me play just to see me sort of float under someone else. The point isn't for me to beat easy people, by the way. I want to beat the best. Patricia is the best. But I also want to win, and seeing as you guys think that I'm too under the radar to do that, I guess I need to do something big. Like blindside Patricia.

[Mia Galeotalanza]

Haha, don't let us influence your choices.

You say that you don't want to beat easy people, but you want to beat the best. But we're grilling you to find out HOW you plan on beating the best. We don't want to see you walk to the end and then NOT beat the best, if that's the strategy you choose to follow.

[Gabriel]

Okay, well, I plan on beating the best by allowing people to see that I've lied and made people think that I was with them the ENTIRE game even though I was secretly behind everybody's exits. I've been under the radar, yes, but I don't think it's a bad position to be in, because no one sees me as the threat to win even though I am. Considering that people see that Patricia is going to win, or is the threat to win, then that might incline me to stick with her more, OR it might make me want to take her out more. I think that I can do each of them easily, it's just a matter of reading her judgement and not being naive enough to think she's going to take me to the finals or vice versa, even though she's known for a while that she was going to take me out the final _.

I DO have that fake immunity idol and people are terrified of the idol in this game. If I flash that when I'm in danger or if someone else is in trouble and I give that to them, that can give me something to take credit for at the final tribal council AND it'll keep around someone that needs to be kept around, I think. Everyone left is a threat, though... I need to orchestrate someone leaving and it'll make me feel better.

[Gabriel]

I get the feeling that the only way Patricia thinks that I'll survive in this game is if she is in there. She is not my saving grace, and I need to prove that. Patricia, you're digging yourself a hole, and I am not getting you out of it.
