Thank you Alex for the really nice words! <3

There's only one thing I feel like clarifying here - I didn't "do nothing" in the pre-merge phase. I might not have been as proactive as others but I tried to form connections with people while laying as low as possible - by doing that, I managed to stay out of fights and I built some trust with people. I was in a six-person alliance for the whole pre-merge, and yet, I never got as much stick for it as David or Aras did for example.

People might have needed me as a number, but surely that's not a bad thing? I don't think I'd have been in great danger in most of the tribes I was swapped on - even though I did work on some immunities. It is true that I did get quite fortunate with the challenge strength of the rest of my tribemates, thereby usually avoiding tribal, but I was well aware of the divides in the game even with having won a bunch of tribal immunities - I tried to make myself as needed to people as I could be so that I could hopefully avoid getting an early boot.

A summary of this would be - I didn't "do nothing", and I think I would have been okay if I went to more pre-merge tribals, for the most part at least.
