Jenna, Ozzy, and Ryan congratulations on making it this far in the game.
You may now make your opening statements to the jury. Please do so in this thread.

I just want to say that i am so glad to be a part of the final 3, in all honesty i didnt think i would have made it this far. Coming from a tribe that lost a lot to a tribe that won to being the underdogs to then being the queen bees, i say all of us (including the jury) have been through a lot.
Now i'm not gonna gloat and rip apart the other 2 people sitting with me because we all deserved it... we did what we had to do to make it here and it worked.
I am looking forward to your questions

Well, I've never done one of these before, but I'll try my very best. =) Firstly, not to sound redundant to Ryan, but I never imagined I'd prevail this far. I don't believe my tribe won one single thing, and to manage to get over that hump takes a lot of effort. Strategizing. Something I hope the jury takes into accounts with their votes.
I do, honestly, believe all three of us deserve to sit here. We had entirely different strategies, which makes it that much more interesting to be here. I will not use this post to tear apart the other two; I will wait to see what the questions are. Not much more to say, I guess, but very best of luck to both Jenna and Ryan. xD

Dear Jury, it's your girl Jenna here! For starters, I honestly can't believe I'm here. Through all the twists and turns, items, and tom and marcus , I am still shocked to have made it this far. I need to acknowledge each and every one of you on the jury, because, well, you will be deciding if I win or not. On that note, I would like to dedicate this portion of my speech to Erik. Originally being my closet ally, I was devastated to see him go in the tribal council that I was not part of (since I won group immunity). After that, I was hell bent on working to vote out the people who had made Erik the first member of the jury. Those people primarily being Tom, Marcus, Margaret, and their close alliance friend Rob. But, the moment that Erik did get voted out, it gave me purpose and reason to play the game. After he left, I feel like I became a more strategic and cunning player. For example, I never won a single individual immunity challenge this whole game, yet I am standing here today in the final 3. Along with that, of the final 7, I was the only girl left, but against the gendered odds, I still made the final 3. (GIRL POWER <3) I had multiple items played, including hidden immunity idols to get me out, but I'm still here in the final 3. Why? Because I truly believe that I outsmarted those who were out to get me. Forget about what happened before the merge, even after being part of a constantly losing tribe, my alliance and I made all of the moves to stay in power. I did everything possible to make sure that Ozzy and Ryan were never targets because I knew that they would always have my back. But back to you guys! I need to apologize to any of you if you ever felt I was malicious, mainly towards Tom, Marcus, and Rob. I wouldn't be here if I didn't work to get you three out. It was purely strategic gameplay, and I hope that you can respect that. Because of you guys, I had to play my heart out to make sure I stayed. Even after the multiple idols you played to try and blindside me, I did what I could to ensure my safety. The hardest vote for me was the final vote. Although earl remained 100% loyal, we all thought it was strategically better to not include him in the FTC, because he was the only remaining member of the tribe that we had so hard worked to get out. I'm so sorry Earl, it was the hardest saying goodbye to you. My alliance and me probably contributed to most of you being in the jury, but I ask you to vote for the person who you think played the game best. If that is not me, I understand, but I think that I played one hell of a game...Oh by the way, did I mention this is my first ever proboard game?? I love you all and thank you for making this a really fun game, Jenna <3

" Along with that, of the final 7, I was the only girl left, but against the gendered odds, I still made the final 3. (GIRL POWER <3) I" This is something I have commented on either in tribal here when it is brought up or in another game. It is true you were the only girl "survivor player" left, but you were not the only girl technically left.
