'''Hii Julian!! To answer your question, I am very blunt in person. I don’t really have a filter and I like to say what’s on my mind. The difference is, I may be blunt and joke around a lot but everyone knows I would never say anything that would purposely hurt someone’s feelings. It was never my intention to come off as unapproachable, I always think “ah let's say this and have a little fun” and forgetting that this is the internet and things can be taken literally, especially without the body language and the laughter letting other people know I was joking. As I said before in my rites of passage, I don't know if we had opposite schedules and missed each other a lot but I always tried to be online! It was the holidays and I work at a clothing store so work was VERY busy but I still took the time to answer people and make connections, maybe not as much as I would've liked, but I obviously did enough to make it to the end. '''

'''As for my biggest game move, I might’ve touched on this in other answers because everyone always wants to know what moves we’ve made but I think my biggest mistake in past games was making big moves and coming off too strong. That strategy always got me cut at F4/F5 and never got me to the end. I made it my goal in this game to focus more on identifying big players, and using them as shields because they are always going to be more of a target and they are most likely going to be more vocal about who to get out so I wouldn’t have to create a target on myself. The majority of votes this game, multiple names were brought up and it would mainly line up with who I also wanted out and if I didn’t want them to go, I did my best to flip the vote onto someone else. An example of this was during Monty’s vote, everyone feared that Michelle and I were a duo and wanted to vote her out, but that wasn’t want I wanted. I figured out a way to work with Angel and he gave the oppurtunity to flip the vote onto Monty to save my closest ally. Instead of big moves, I always tried to be more behind the scenes, rather than vocal and upfront since from my experience, players like that never make it to the end. '''

'''In conclusion, my ability to socially connect with the major threats allowed me to retrieve the essential information needed for me to navigate the game successfully, and because I made people feel like I could be an asset to their own game, I was never viewed as a potential danger to them, and so I utilized that to my positioning and securing myself each and every round. Every time I was in a position where I felt like I was in trouble, I was able to win immunity or be able to talk myself out of it. I felt like I was able to adapt to any situation I was put into while also trying to not create any waves or never make myself a target that people felt needed to go. Thank you for your questions and I hope you find a reason to vote for me <3'''
