'''Congrats on immunity! You put in one hell of an effort to get this one. Why did you put in this level of effort?'''

Thanks! I did put in a lot of effort. I tried so hard for a few reasons. One, the first merged tribal is where the big alliances are determined, and I can play a much more intelligent strategic game if my decisions aren't warped by paranoia and fear for my life. Two, I know my name has come up and I'm not ready to go yet.

How did Luke's decision to quit affect your game?

Luke was a good friend and a good ally. I'm sad he's not here anymore, but I think it's best for him to not be playing right now, and I'm glad he's taking care of himself. I will play on for him.
