Hello Nicole!

1. I completely understand why some jurors would question my character over the swear that I made to Sam, but I assure to those questioning my character that I did not make that swear to deceive anyone. Sam and I had a rollercoaster of a relationship in this game, and throughout final five and four I really wanted Sam to trust me because I was willing to settle my differences with him and play alongside him. At final four, I offered a deal with Sam to take him to the final two but I knew that he didn't completely trust the idea. I decided to swear on my sister's grave to Sam because I wanted to offer him the most authentically true form of my word in this game so he could be assured that I wouldn't go against what I said to him. I want to be clear that anytime I've ever made this swear in my life or otherwise, I have always stood by what I swore to, and that wouldn't have been any different in this case. It seems that the swear I made did have an impact in Sam's decision to keep me at f4, and knowing that I never would've broken my word, I don't have regrets about it.

2.  Most moves in games like this can usually be claimed by multiple people. I definitely believe that Toby and Sam deserve credit for moves in this game. In my speech I mentioned that Toby had credit for the Eve, Justin, and Nicole moves and that Sam had a hand in the Nadine, Nathaniel, and Nicole votes which were ones we participated in together. I definitley take some credit for the Eve, Justin, Nathaniel votes and am willing to say that the move to convince Sam to vote for Matt is a move that I claim as my own. I'm more than willing to go more in depth with this question if you're willing to give a few examples of moves that the jury wants more info about! :)

3. Jurors from least to most threatening:

9. Rhys: You were super chill and loyal to me so I never considered you a threat to me personally!

8. Jenna: Super loyal towards me, but definitely underestimated as a threat in terms of the game as a whole!

7: Justin: Played with you the least but you definitely were somewhat threatening because we were on opposite sides of the game and didn't talk very much.

6: Nathaniel: Majorly threatening in challenges, you would've kicked butt in Music Catch, Winterbells, and Maverick Bird and potentially could've stolen some of my immunity wins!

5: Toby: To my personal game, I wasn't threatened by you because I trusted you, but you were definitely a triple threat in this game and had major potential to win if you were in this position.

4: Matt: Another underestimated threat in this game. You were very smooth socially, had great puns, and personally you were threatening because we only every worked together in two votes which made you a wildcard in my eyes

3: Nicole: Just like Nathaniel you definitely had the potential to shine as a major physical threat, as well as be a social threat too. Had you submitted the winning score for Music Catch, I don't doubt for one second you could've made it deep in the game.

2: Nadine: You were also a triple threat with a very high potential to win the game had you made it deep! We were never able to get on the same page strategically and I knew the longer you stayed the better you would become!

1: Sam: You were absolutely my greatest adversary in this entire game. You are incredibly strategic, great physically, and a  really smooth social player. You always challenged me to play at my best and always had me on my toes.
