Here we are finishing just short of the ultimate goal of the title of Sole Survivor. No raps today, just straight heart. Whether you love me or love to hate me, you cannot deny my passion for this game. Survivor has been a dream I have been chasing since I was a child and was something I wanted to do. Not only did I go on Survivor, but I played one hell of a game.
I was able to represent my parents who sacrificed so much for me to live out my dream. I was able to inspire my younger brother to go out there and chase his dreams. I was able to play for my amazing girlfriend and show her how cool I really am. I was able to represent my country of Albania 🇦🇱 that has never been represented in Survivor history.
Throughout my whole life I told people if Jeff Probst gave me a shot I would prove to him that the RizGod would be worthy and while I didn’t win the title, I left my mark. I walk away just short losing in fire, and who knows had I won fire maybe I would have won. But I leave the game I love making a difference, whether it was my goofy moments, my vulnerability, my immunity idol, my dominant alliance or my strategic game. I was worthy enough to have Jeff snuff my torch calling me RizGod.
I want to thank everyone who believed in me from the very beginning. Caitlin for believing in this 25 year old Albanian Yonkers kid, to Jesse who thought I had what it took. To my boy Matty V and Hudson all the way to Jeff Probst himself. The entire CBS and Survivor team are one of a kind.
A big congratulations to my girl @sahhvz for winning Survivor 49 and being a dominant force and my ride or die. A big congratulations to my girl @sophibalerdi for finishing as the runner up. Shoutout to my entire cast for giving this experience their all and sharing their stories.
While my Survivor 49 chapter closes. My Survivor journey continues as THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND R-I-Z-G-O-D RIZGOD BABY RETURNS TO SEASON 50 this February.
What a wild ride this has been. I find myself in the finale of SURVIVOR 50! 48 out of 57 days playing Survivor and being apart of my second finale is something I dreamed of but never imagined being a reality. It all comes down to this.
Rick Devens! Man what an absolute legend you are! Represented Macon and making all your friends,family and fans proud! Showed people that Survivor is better when you are having fun! You did just that king. Legendary!
Cirie Fields 🥹 The Greatest of All Time. Not only in Survivor - but in reality tv PERIOD. Thank you for taking me under your wing and going on this amazing ride with me. You taught me everything and the memories we made along the ride will never be forgotten. 20 years to do what you do isn’t easy but you make it look effortless. Thank you for giving me a chance and believing in me. ❤️
While it wasn’t easy. It’s what had to be done. 😢
You always play the game to win even when it’s not fun.
You always bet on yourself and that is what I did.
There is 2 milly on the line and your boy got a 1 in 7 chance 😎
Haters will always hate but I’m still in this dance 🕺🕺
