Who between MIHAI and JR deserve to win Survivor Antarctica more, and why?

I think that Mihai deserves to win this game because of how he was able to handle himself in multiple alliances and that it was incredible of him to be a challenge threat, a social threat and a strategical threat and still wasn’t a target at tribal councils. He definitely Outwit, Outplay and Outlasted.

What is the ratio of the who's-doing-the-strategizing among the Josh-JR-Mihai trio? Can't be equal brother. Somebody has to be the (bigger) brains of that alliance.

Among the trio, I think I was the one doing the strategy the most because there’s two sides of this trio. Me and Mihai, and then me and JR. I was in the middle of this and I have been shuffling back and forth between them relaying info and comparing notes with each other. At some point one both were after the another and tried to put away the vote from them.

I still don't get your social play, please give me an insight on the bonds you had by Ranking the jury members (include Jamie) 1 - 8, 1 being the jury member you were most social with, upto 8 being the jury member you were least social with.

1 - Jamie. We’ve agreed to watch each other’s back since the start of the game and I think none were expecting for us to be actually working together at the start and started off where we left off on late pre-merge. I formed a strong bond with Jamie on the first few days that she was that comfortable enough to show me the status of the idol even though she was not on the guys alliance. Jamie was my trump card. It gave me two options. Go with the trio of me JR and Mihai, or go full OG Ferrar with me, Jamie and JR. I was in the middle of two alliances of three. I would have to choose a side down to Final 7 I needed to choose a side by then but tried to still downplay OG Ferrar’s closeness. Before Jamie was medevaced I had already came up with a plan to blindside Mihai that round however, her unfortunate leaving made me stick to my post swap trio

2 - Uli. Uli was a member of my first alliance in this game which was mostly the guys on Ferrar. That’s why I got John to pick Uli on the schoolyard pick for me because I was comfortable enough to work with him long term and he in turn was comfortable enough with me to tell me everything he heard. At least until he was about to cut me off on the round he went.

3 - Ivan. I really did intend to work with you long term and I was campaigning for you to stay on the round you went to JR and Mihai. I got you comfortable enough to like me that you tell me a lot of things I should’nt have figured out on my own and that’s why I felt that I owe you a lot. I didn’t sleep the night before tribal thinking of whether or not to vote you out and as the results show, I did because of how much of a social threat you are but I certainly wasn’t smiling when I was writing your name down.

4 - Andrew. Me and Andrew were never on the same side except the Uli vote. We talk to each other but I just felt like he had no intent to work with me whatsoever. Just using each other as a number.

5 - Marc. I wanted to keep Marc as some sort of a backup plan in case JR and Mihai turn on me however, we can’t seem to connect on a personal level unfortunately perhaps due to timezone or cultural differences and he wasn’t around during the critical votes on merge.

6 - Shiloh. Shiloh was the first person I talked to in the game and wanted to work with them all the way. Once post swap happened, I tried reaching out to them by hinting still that I would still want to work with them however they would give me one word or short answers and that's how I figured there was something wrong and that she was flipping against us. Once they voted against me that ended our chances of working together ever again as they voted for me out the next round.

7 - Ci’ere. Just like Andrew, Ci’ere and I were never on the same side and I also felt like we would not mesh well together because our personalities are complete opposites and perhaps was intimidated by his huge personality.

8 - Chrissa. Chrissa and I’s relationship is weird. I tried being social with her at around post swap and she would only give me one word or short answers so I just felt like she didn’t like me.

You need to choose a side.

People always say to not play hard so fast however Parvati proved them wrong. She never sat back and waited. She played big and a lot of people admire her for it. I have no doubt that if she ever decides to go back on Survivor a fourth time that she’d be on FTC for her third time.
