Hi Micah!

I believe I played a better game than Grace because I relied on my social and strategic abilities to get me to the end. Grace won many immunities, which is great for her, although I think it's much more impressive in the game of Survivor to show that my social and strategic mindset is what ultimately brought me into the final three. I developed bonds with people which allowed me to be flexible in my gameplay and orchestrate my moves which brought me closer and closer to the end. When I was in trouble of being voted out, those social bonds came in handy because I was able to crawl myself out a situation in order to get someone else voted out. For example, when I believed that Domonique would not be on our side for long, I did something about it. I told my allies that we should dispose of her idol by orchestrating a split vote plan, and it worked as Domonique used her idol and she was rendered idol-less which helped me be more sane since I wouldn't have to worry about that.

Another move is Domonique and Jamie idoling out Jake over me while Grace tried to get them to idol me out and failing. She knew it was between Jake and I if Domonique was idol'd out - so she went after me, and failed. Another example is at final 5 when Grace told me she wanted Zach out over me and told Zach and Liam to vote for Jamie and Jamie to vote for Zach. I knew I couldn't rely on Grace, so I talked to Liam and he wanted Zach out because he thought that he and Grace were a final 2, which from Grace's FTC, is not true. Grace thought Jamie voted with us and Liam thought it would be 2-2-1, but in reality it was my relationships with Liam and Grace which caused them both to save me and vote out Zach, putting me in the Final 4. This shows that I was actually very socially aware of what was happening around me. Grace didn't know that Liam was with me and thought Jamie actually was instead, which shows I was more socially aware than her. I played a strong game and I played a game that didn't need any safety. All the moves I made were smart moves, and I was always informed about what was happening, and I myself started the butterfly effect on all the moves occuring. Ultimately, that is why I believe I deserve to win over Grace.

Thank you Micah, and if you are still unsure, you can ask me more questions!
