Hey Jackson, to address your Scott point and about me overclaiming I’m going to go into that in detail in my answer with Natalia so please look out for that, so I can explain how I believed I had influence in detail. I think we relied on each other but that doesn’t take away from in my opinion any sway I might have still had in the game. Now to the questions.

Did you actually believe that Alex had the idol at F8?

I wasn’t certain Alex had the idol at this point, but their were clues that led me to believe it. What I know is at this point I remain confident either Jino or Alex had it, but due to the way Jino had left the game with him maybe becoming aware before he left, it made me think Alex could have had it. She was the one who at merge was very adamant Jino had it, and I wasn’t sure at the time if this was her trying to deflect onto JIno when it belonged to her. At final 7 I got the idol at the asylum which had the same person who made the mistake: Liam, as the alleged Este idol that Alex or Jino got voted out with, so in my mind that confirmed speculation that at least one of them had to have been voted out with it.

''What was the point of attempting to get the Padua trio to vote for an Este member? The actual goal. Because I think everyone knew that enacting a blindside on an Este member wouldn't have been that tough.''

So i’m assuming this is talking about the first merge vote and what I wanted to see happen with the 5-3-1 vote that did not happen. My rational at least for trying to get that to happen was because I knew it was best for my game that Padua and Este were in a rivalry. As someone who was fortunate to be on that swapped Padua and og Este I knew that gave my ample opportunity to play both sides. If you guys remember I wanted the padua to throw their votes to Devin just to make him paranoid, so next round when we blindsided Alex if they did catch a whiff they’d think we were targeting Devin and potentially waste any powers on him. But my other more important reasoning that I couldn’t necessarily share with you at the time was I wanted their to be as much animosity between the two sides. If y’all were blinded by going after each other you’d miss me (and Scott) pulling the strings in the background. Sadly that particular idea didn’t come to go exactly how I wanted but I do still believe this idea of padua and este going after each other with me in the middle worked quite well all game. And maybe getting you guys to split the vote wasn’t a working idea, but I hope you don’t fault me for just trying to seize every opportunity to better my game, and to me if that had worked out it would have.

''Choose a jury member. Describe all of the negative attributes of said member's gameplay. Why were they voted out?''

Whew Jackson, don’t you know this jury is already pissed at me, you trying to get me killed or something? But in all seriousness I’m also gonna choose you for this question because if I have to be really negative about someone’s game it’s only fair to pick the person who asked it. And to add to the preamble for this question I do believe there are lots of positives to your game, but you asked for only negatives so that’s what you get.

I think the biggest thing for you started early on, I remember one of the first big moments with you was at the anarchy tribal and without any prompting you told me the padua were throwing it. The first impression you gave off the me was you were someone who could not be trusted with tight information as you had loose lips. This was a theme at least in my mind that lasted a while with your gameplay.

You were often hard to reach to communicate to about gameplay which made you seem as an unreliable ally. I know school isn’t an excuse but a legit thing, but when you are asking about all the negative flaws you got to be specific haha.

And finally why you were voted out? Well that’s cause of me haha, Devin can talk about how I loved this storybook ending that he keeps mentioning but that was pure manipulation of my words to make him think how loyal i was to him, when as expressed through my words and honestly my actions of the game I was loyal with Scott. But I chose you to be voted out not because Devin was my chosen final 2 or whatever bullshit he seems believe, but because you had written my name down the past two tribals in a row to get me out, you made it very clear (and not unfairly) that you would vote me out if you won final immunity, and I thought you were harder to beat in the end than Devin.

I hope this answers your question and gives you some clarity on some of the things I did in the game and why it was important for my game for me to do so. Thanks Jackson <3
