Hey Wendy, well, this was a very pointed critique of my game and an even more pointed appraisal of Luca’s, so I left it for last because I lowkey can’t see you getting swayed by anything I haven’t already said. ¯ \_(ツ )_/¯



Independent move - David’s voteoff was an independent move of mine (not like exclusively indepedent as in ALL MINE) because he was my closest ally and I easily could’ve gone with the final four deal with him, Emily, Jake and myself but that would’ve looked horrendous on my resume. Before that vote off I had been planting seeds to people such as Luca and Alex that I wasn’t blindly loyal to that perceived ‘tight 4’ alliance (which helped prevent the challenge throw at the unmerge) so that they would believe me when I would eventually say I was planning to vote David. I needed to step out of his shadow and distinguish myself as a player - like Aras said my game really picked up/gained momentum after the remerge. At this point I also created a final 3 deal with Emily and Jake as they were my ideal endgame scenario because Jake was Jake and Emily had probably played a less comprehensive UTR game than Luca. The David move independently benefitted me because it broke the sentiment that I was his follower (not true, it was a partnership) and allowed me to further distinguish myself as a player. A move I think I can claim for myself is Matthias's blindside.



Mistake – I think almost all votes that I was involved in, especially post-merge, unfolded favourably for me and weren’t mistakes because they almost got me here with two people I believe I had the best shot against, without accounting for Luca’s immunity run. The ones that didn’t go my way at all were out of my control, such at Bradley and Gabe’s voteoffs. A mistake I made was not socialising more with those who I was against, and perhaps voting out Aras instead of Luca at the final 6.
