Hey Evan, I really liked reading your speech haha. Obviously what you care about it the answers though, so:  1) Why vote Ali out? A lot of us here can agree when I say that you would’ve won pretty damn easily if you did vote Ali at the F3.

I'm gonna be honest here, I felt as though Ali would have had the Double Patos votes guaranteed, and with some people that didn't want to vote me, he could have won. I feel like any friends on the jury Seth has, I also have so it would have ended up a battle of better game instead of a popularity contest. I could very well be wrong in that assumption, however, but I hope not.

2) Had you and Tyler P gained numbers when, in actuality, he went home, were you going to take him to the end (and if so, why?)

No question about it, yes. I promised him a final two and when I sincerely promise something to someone I do not easily break it. I wanted to see us to overcome the 7-2 minority together and have both seats in the final two. That would have been an amazing underdog story. I also felt like I was more of the head of the duo because there would be times where immediately after the vote I'd go to Tyler and say "Okay, we have a big decision to make" and then give two options. My game of using Tyler as a shield must have really worked better than I thought if the jury is thinking I was being dictated by him. I hope Tyler doesn't get mad from me saying this, but there were literally times where I would tell him the vote, and he'd come on a few hours later and tell me he voted. It was me dictating him, if anything.
