Well, I decided it was something I'd rather tell the both of you in private so I did that.

'''​Roodman: Congrats on immunity! What are you basing your vote off of tonight?'''

Thanks for the congratulations! My decision tonight was a difficult one to make, because I have to consider who among the two of them played the best game, and then balance that with my understanding of the jury's impression of Hunter's and Anna's games, because I don't believe they line up with my own. On the one hand, I have faith in many of the jurors to seriously consider testimony that they may not have had a chance to see first hand while in the game, and keep open minds, but on the other hand, I know some jurors stick to the motto that 'Perception is reality', and if I haven't made moves visible to them before FTC, then it's my fault. Respectfully, I strongly disagree with that second perspective because FTC is meant to be an opportunity to clear the air and allow the jurors to take an unbiased look at the games of all finalists, and it is the duty of the jurors to decide to the best of their abilities which finalist played the best game, and that means considering everything said at FTC.

No matter if I stick to my own understanding of Hunter's and Anna's games, or if I cater to what I believe the jury believes, I don't have a good sense if I'll enter FTC as the favorite or the underdog right now, and it worries me that I can't be sure I'm making the right decision.

As I've told Anna and Hunter already, my mind is made. It wasn't easy. You're both free to post here now if you'd wish, but it won't affect my vote at all.
