Opening Statements

[Jeff]

Congratulations Catherine Malandrino and lilytiger. You two have outlasted 14 other competitors and have come as far as you can on your own. Now the power is shifting over to the jury. 7 players you had a hand in voting out, either directly or indirectly: Splatt, cupcake, Michael Steele, Heather, Kathleen, jojo, and Cybergrl.

In a moment, each of the jurors will be able to ask you a question or two about the game and you will be given the chance to answer each of them before the jury then casts their vote for the winner of Survivor: Egypt.

Before we get to that, Catherine and lilytiger will both have the opportunity to make their Opening Statements.

Whenever you ladies are ready, you may begin.

Allo all.
I am very honored to be een zees final of zees very fun game.
Eet was very hard, and I worked very hard. I never really had any solid allies and when I would get one zey would be voted out. I am very grateful to the peeples that did help me. Once I saw that I vould have a chances to get back een I tried very hard and I got back een. I worked very hard to stay and zen won all ze challenges zo I could enzure I stayed to ze end. I was up unteel 4 in the AM doing the final challenge becuz I wanted to make sure I controlled my desitny. I am proud of ze way I played and I tink I deserve it.

Lily is a wonderful woman, as wuz Cyber, but I am ready for your questions now.

Hello jury members. Hello Catherine.

I should warn you before we begin: I am the Amanda Kimmel of final tribal councils. I mean well, but I always tend to choke.

I am so pleased to be here with my heavily-accented friend Catherine. We played a fairly similar game to a certain degree. We both played a fairly independent game, but at the end we had very different strategies. Catherine came on strong to ensure her way into the final two; I held back to ensure my way into the final two. (Plus, I really don't have much of an accent.)

I welcome your questions, and I again congratulate Catherine for making it to the final tribal council. I also thank her for bringing me along!
