Emma! I really enjoyed playing the game with you and that was an excellent point you made about my game, and I completely understand why that point is made so onto your question!

Trace: Coming into the game, I really wanted to work with Trace. We had been on  many ORG's before and were always against each other. But when the tribe wanted him to go, I needed to vote him out. It was part of my strategy to keep my mouth shut and listen instead of trying to do. It was a real first test to this new strategy.

CJ: I wanted CJ gone the first vote. This guy has had an excellent record in ORGs and I knew he was going to be a threat in the game. In order to have this first vote to succeed, I needed to plant seeds with everyone not in my alliance in order to ensure his elimination. In addition, I also talked to CJ so he would feel comfortable with me.

Linh: This vote was pretty self explanatory. The whole tribe wanted her gone due to her communications with Loren on the Villians tribe. I voted her out due that fact only because that is what the tribe wanted.

Eva: Eva was the main point in the game where my alliance was actually tested. Eva targeted me and try to blindside me this vote. However, due to my social game at that point in the game, my alliance then flip the script on her. This made me realize that I had people fighting for me as well. I had been with them since day one and when they flip the script on her, it was a real testament to how much they trusted me.

Sarah: I actually voted against Bas this vote, but I knew Sarah was going. Sarah's departure was primarily a guilty by association with Eva. I voted Bas, however, to try to make a big move when the merge came along. I wanted the Villains to think I was on the outs with the Heroes and I wanted to flip. It was a vote where I thought I could change the future of the game. I was most definitely wrong.

Chris: Chris had an excellent history in many ORGs. So, that was the primary reason for his elimination. This is also where I tried to make a move to flush the Villians idol out. I tried to get the Villians to tell me everything about their vote and who they were voting out. This way, we can vote a certain way and Miguel could play his idol on whoever they were voting for. However, I was caught and I would be the first to admit that. I was forced to go with the original plan. Miguel thankfully played the idol on me and it showed me that my alliance was strong and would be willing to keep me in the game as a number, not an accessory.

Bas: I voted against Sora in this vote and was completely blindsided. However, this ended up turning around in my favor later in the game when Thomas went home. It was almost a turning point to why I am here today.

Thomas: So Thomas came to me to try to get me to sway my vote in his favor. In my head, I was thinking heck no. But then I thought about it for a second. My alliance decided to not let me in on the previous vote so if I showed them I was willing to vote out on of my people, they would want me to be with them 100000%. So I voted Szymon knowing Thomas would go home anyhow. This then ensured that I could go back with my alliance and promise my loyalty in order to preserve what we had before the Bas vote. I wanted them to know that I had made a mistake and was willing to do whatever I could to regain their trust.

Miguel: Miguel was probably one of my number one allies in the game. No lie. We strategized on numerous occasions and it broke my heart to vote him out. I knew, however, if I voted with him that the target on my back would increase significantly. Plus, I just voted against my alliance so if I did it again, then it would lose the trust I gained back from the Thomas vote.

Szymon: Due to factors outside the game, Szymon deactivated his account. So, we all decided as a group for him to go. Plus, if he was to return, he would be a huge threat to win the whole game if he was still in the game.

Alissa: This would be my most significant move in the game. Jenn had been on the outside of her alliance for a while. So, I had been talking to her to try to get her to flip on the Villians. This vote was the perfect opprotunity. Sora and Eddie adored Alissa and that was quite obvious when we were in the tribe. So, I convinced Jenn to flip on them and vote against Alissa to get her a higher chance of winning. It was the main factor to why I was put in this position.

Emma: I wasn't there for your vote but it really did break my heart to see you go.

Jennifer: Unfortunately, I knew that even thought Jenn was helping me out in the game, she was still a threat. A huge threat in fact. I knew that she needed to go in order to give us all a chance to win the final immunity challenge, especially because she was not immune. I hated voting her out, but I knew she would win in a landslide vote if she was in finals.

Eddie: At first, I wanted Dusk out of the game. I wanted him out because I thought his jury threat was much higher than Eddie's. So I set a plan with Sora and Eddie to take him out. However, the night after that plan was made, I started having doubts. I thought it was too late and I made a huge mistake until Sora and Dusk messaged me asking if I had voted. They wanted to flip the vote to Eddie in order to give us all an "equal" shot at winning the game.

Thank you for your question Emma! It was a great honor to play with such an amazing person! I wish you luck in your decision making.
