#2: Nicole’s idol play/vote out

'''I was 50/50 with this vote because I did not want to vote her based off the fact she was a really good way for me to get to the end and loved working with her, but she also was a key person that could get me out. I did not have to push this vote one bit. It was mainly Louise which was to everyone’s surprise because she told Nicole she wanted to be her goat the previous round. I actually had no idea Nicole had an idol until probably the last few moments before the vote based off her reactions, and IDK if anyone else would really understand the whole “reactions” thing except like EM players but IDK. I just felt it in my gut that the way she was acting was not how someone who felt legitimately vulnerable would act. I was good with Jerry at the time but I couldn’t read him well gamewise and I had no idea how to get him out so I was fine with him being idoled out. I told her we were voting her, explained to her why and who wanted her out, she acted like she didn’t have an idol, she then played her idol, Jerry left and suddenly I still had 0 target because I was the one who told her she was being voted out and everyone else stuck to the plan. So like, I effectively built bonds voting her out because everyone thought we were a duo, while ruining mostly everyone's bonds with her because they voted her out, and kept my bond with her because I told her she was being voted out. Gross. But also effective. '''

#3: Final four with Louise

'''This really sucked. I don’t want to go into too much detail because I’m sure the screenshots are in the VL to read and it’s not entirely important to the game but definitely a moment where I felt angry with her, but more with myself. Everything she was saying was legitimate and valid and honestly I should’ve been voted out there, like 100%. I feel like she could have convinced me to vote myself off. We both went at each other while Charlie was out and not paying any sort of attention to the tribe chat and Gevonte was at work and I’m pretty sure was locked on his vote no matter what was said. I think her and I were boiling ever since the Brian vote and us going at each other was bound to happen, but it didn’t end the way it should’ve and it was not my finest moment in the game. She tried her best to stay in, I tried my best to say in, it was a mess and very #uncool of me.'''

'''2. I’d like to know what your endgame plan was during the game and if or how it evolved as the game progressed. '''

'''If I am being completely honest, I really take everything round by round and evaluate as I go. I find if I make a plan, I tunnel vision on it, and it makes it really tough to adapt and change with the game and with a game as intense as this one it was important to think on your feet and not get caught up. I did want to make sure each round I had an “exit plan” in case things started going south for me, which is why I was involved in many different alliances and had strong social relationships on each side. I think below in the alliances question you’ll see the different pattern of people and different options I had as the game went on. '''

3. How many official final 2 deals did you make and with whom were they made?

'''I believe Charlie was my only official official final 2 deal, although Nicole and I talked heavily about wanting to be in final 2 together so I would say probably her as well. Gevonte, I don’t think we ever said it officially, but we definitely kept talking about wanting to be in the end together. I definitely insinuated to many people that I would like to go end game with them though.'''
