Erinn will post her opening statement here.

[Erinn Lobdell]

Sorry for the delay, guys!

Before I say anything I just want everyone to know how excited I am to be here in the Final 3. I didn't think it would be possible for me to make it this far because I usually get sent out fairly early. I do owe my placing to my loyal alliance whom I was with a good deal of the time, however I contributed as much as possible. To those people who say I've ridden coattails to get where I am, you can just shut up. I tried to play the most loyal and strategic game possible. So Russell, not all of us make super bold moves and flip flop back and forth to cause drama for no reason. That's not me. That's not how I play. I'd rather lay low, try hard at competitions, and attempt to make it to the end while making friends along the way.

I feel as though I deserve to be here in the end. I made it here for a reason. Sure, I would have loved to see Charlie, J.P., Yasmin, etc. here in the end. All of them were deserving. Heck, everyone on the Jury played good games and some of you got sent out due to an eChallenge and could have made it much farther! I avoided those obstacles and I think my loyalty to my alliance got me to where I was, my non-boisterous personality in comparison to the likes of Russell got me where I was, and I tried not to make lots of enemies just to make it to the end. As I just said, that's not how I play the game! Now that I've made it here to the end, the game now lies in your hands, the Jury!

I'm ready for your questions! Thanks again, guys!
