Hey Wes!

One of Nuno's largest flaws in the game was that he got himself into many positions where he needed the help of someone else in order to survive to the next round. When I say this, I don't mean he relied on people to not vote him out, because obviously that's how all three of us got to the end. I mean that he needed material help in the form of Alex's key and Domonique's idol to survive from final 9 to final 6. He put himself in this position because he tried to pull a move in the first tribal of the merge, and couldn't maneuver himself out of the sticky spot he was in. By the time final 6 came around, there were just bigger fish to fry each round.

I think Sarah's largest flaw in this game was that despite working a great social game with the people she spoke to, she didn't really do much to keep herself in the good books with the people who didn't talk to her. She wrote my name down three times, two of those times she was the only vote against me, and then she placed me in categories such as the least deserving to be here, etc in touchy subjects. I thought she hated my guts. It turns out she didn't, but it took me straight up asking her if she hated me to get that cleared up. If I had left the game at any time before that point, I don't think she would've had greatr chances at my jury vote. I don't think I'm the only person here that experienced this, maybe I am, but from my perspective that shows me that she was a great social player to the people she was working with, but not to the people that she wasn't working with.

I think you should respect my game because I managed to get myself from being the bottom of the food chain and in the minority position to always being part of the majority and taking out threats both to my own personal game and threats to win in general. I may never have been part of any blindsides, except maybe the Sam vote, but I never needed to blindside anyone because the main target usually went home, and the main target was usually someone that was coming after me. I was able to separate my frienships from the game itelf, and not let those bonds get in the way of the logical decisions I needed to make to get myself into a decent end position. If things didn't work out for me, like when Domonique had her idol and her vote canceller, I was able to bounce back from my failed plans and keep myself alive and adaptable to the new dynamic of the game. Keep in mind I did this without ever needing individual immunity.

I don't think anyone at the start of the merge expected me to make it much farther than the final 8, but I made all the necessary moves to keep myself in a good position in this game. I think you should respect my game for my ability to always improve my situation and work things into my favour, while also making tough decisions and take out the large threats.

Also please unblock me on skype :( idk what I did to make you block me but I'm sorry for it.
