Hey Nick! Don’t worry I have absolutely nothing against you, and if we were to play again, I would never hold this game against you.

With that aside, I would like to explain why I was extremely transparent during your vote. Anthony had the last preswap idol, I had the merge idol, and Julia had the vote advantage, so at the time I felt like your side didnt have anything that would screw me over for being honest. That’s why I flat out told everyone on your side who I was voting for, and I 100% knew that most if not all were leaking the information back to you. Our plan was to get one person to flip and resort to using the 2 idols as last hope.

Onto your questions:

1) Probably not. I am EXTREMELY TERRIBLE at wording stuff what I really meant. People tend to misinterpret me. All of those moves are explained as how I see the games. Every players see the games differently, and I’m sure people’s perspective are a lot different than mine. I could be doing something that’s really hard to detect and can easily be contradicted. Like for example, if I wanted X to stay, and I was asking Y what they think of voting Z. If they say it was a bad idea, I would probably stop the conversation and just let them vote X. Then in my speech I would say something like I tried to save X but Y was like “Morgan didn’t even give me a case to keep X around” but what I really meant was that I was trying to redirect the vote off X instead of saving X.

I know I’m making this needlessly complicated but as English isn’t my first language, I get misinterpreted more often than I wanted to.

I hope you keep that in mind when considering your vote, in fact I really hope every jurors does this because I lost enough games because of this.

2) Physical game is part of Survivor, whether you like it or not. If it wasnt as important, then immunity challenges would never existed. They have multiple roles in the game beside the most obvious role which is to keep you safe from being voted out.

With immunity, I basically prevent our targets we were planning to get rid of from being immune, giving us a much easier time getting rid of the said person. Example: helping the underdogs alliance get rid of Anthony. Anthony did the same thing getting rid of Brian during final 7.

With immunity, I can help my alliance improve our odds during rocks if we ever need one. (Never happened thankfully)

I can play a flashier game without it having turning it around and bite me directly in the butt. It can INDIRECTLY bite me, but at least I would have a head up with another tribal for damage control instead of being completely blindsided.

I would rank myself somewhere in the middle, maybe slightly below like 6 or 7. I know I definitely didnt play the best game otherwise it would’ve been noticed and gotten me voted out. I never intended to play the best game for that sole reason. I didnt want to be constantly targeted weeks after weeks like Brian and Anthony was.

I definitely believe I didnt play the worst because I felt like my social game was solid and I interacted with more people than others did.

My favorite part of this game was then I found an idol. I was driving and randomly guessed for the idol in my first guess, then I freaked out once I found out I found the idol. I had to pull over to control my excitement. This season was a lot of fun and regardless of the results, I would definitely rank this as my favorite survivor season I played in. I made finals before but they were nowhere close comparing to this, and I’m really hoping to pull a W on this specific season.
