hei hei, Ivan. I think I was more like a wolf in sheep clothes premerge. I did started the game clueless because I thought you, me and nick were good, but that didnt last long. I think I had a pretty good idea of what went on in our tribe, I knew about the alliance you guys had, I knew that me and marc were the initial targets on nick's vote and used that to make me and marc closer, I won items but kept it secret and created chaos due to that, because postswap people targeted josh thinking he had it, I knew andrew had an idol, but kept it a secret until it was in my advantage. Coming into the swap, John had made an alliance with andrew, uli and Josh and he targeted me. Later he got shiloh. I managed to turn uli and joshua against john and took out one of the most powerful players, the one that people wanted to revenge, so much power he had. I went against krill and still managed to make you guys trust me on the next votes and that rarely happens in survivor, so I think I did some things premerge.

It's hard to refer to a move I made on my own since I played this game with these people, BUT, I voted without andrew's knowing what my plans were several times: when john got the boot, when shiloh was voted out, on ci'ere's vote, so although andrew was one of the closest allies in the game, I didnt follow him and did my own thing. And after that, managed to keep him by my side. It would be so easy to say I did a huge move, like other people said, and then it wouldnt matter if I was invisible for the rest of the game, but my game wasnt about making a big move, but it was about taking baby steps and taking out all the people that could have potentially take me out, the strong people. I played the both sides and shifted between alliances in a way in which people were still coming to me to tell me their plans and I do believe this is much harder than doing a single move. But if you want an example, voting out John remains something that I consider a big move because it could have been so easy for ferrar to go to john and tell him my plans and then I would have been out, but I played so hard on that vote that they just trusted me and went my way. I also convinced jr and josh to take out Uli although they were ferrar and already in minority. I convinced marc to stick to me after I voted for you and betrayed him. I didn't was a target after ci'ere said he'll vote for me if I make it to FTC. These are examples of how my game was defined by consistancy and hard work in keeping people by my side and not by a single event.

Josh should win because Jr claims his biggest and only move was at final 7, but that move only happened because it was in my best interest for someone so strong like andrew to go. At that point, andrew asked me to play my idol on him and so I could have saved him, but that's how little Jr knows. Me and Joshua talked a lot about the implications of that vote, of how I would tell andrew it's him so he uses his idol and we would voted for chrissa, so we would be safe. Jr should not win because it is sooo easy to play the under the radar card and let others consume their energy while playing. I think people forgot that Jr was even in this game at some point, but he won when he needed it, so I gotta give that to him. Also, Josh created more bonds with people, he became vulnerable by talking to you guys, whereas I don't think Jr wasnt part of many discussions and took the easy path.

If I could choose, I would not play with you anymore because you were the only person I actually knew before the game and when I voted for you I regretted I might lose someone I see as a friend, so I wouldnt want to take the chance of playing again with you and possibly getting to the part where one of us betrays each other.

Our conversations were genuine. I enjoyed getting to know someone who had the same hobbies like me, to allow myself to discover another culture through you and to just know you're not talking to me only because of the game. If there was a moment I wasnt fake in this game, that was when I talked to you.
