Hi Blaine :)

1. It was 100% sincere. As soon as Will was gone, I knew that I had to lock things down, and at that point in the game, I was closest to you and Grace. You two were always my final 3 plans. I decided to make that f2 with you because I knew that if it came down to you, me and Grace, Grace would take me to the end, and I needed to make sure that you would do the same. I think that if I had to choose, I most likely would've chosen you, only because I think we've been through more together, and Grace would be such a big threat. So yes, it was sincere to the fullest.

2. My strategy was altered a ton. I knew that I had to reorganize everything alliance wise to make sure that I would stay in the game. I really went on a relationship build up streak. I first built it up with you and Grace, making sure that you were my tight f3 alliance. Then I also started talking to Tom, Casey and Zane to make sure that we all had a good bond so that they would all three vote with us. The Will vote was really a wake up call that ultimately build the foundation I needed to get to the final 3.

3. Being on the cruise for the last 10 days really hurt me in a good amount of random ways. I was so nervous the whole time that it would just absolutely destroy my game because the jury wouldn't take me seriously because I didn't really do any of the challenges. As far as how I want the jury to see it, I don't really want you to cut me any breaks. All I ask is that you don't think less of me for not entering into challenges because I made my best effort to find ways to do it, none of it came to fruition. Really I think that it showed my strengths because even with limited communication, I still was able to make it 4 tribals and have a say in almost every one. Really it showed how strong my game was that even in the face of adversity, I was still able to make it to the end and finish strong.

4. Okay so if I was already on it I would have to go with Grace, Tom, Andrei, Blaine and Will. I really do think that those 5 players had the strongest games and were the most influential during the merge period. I don't know that's actually a really hard question haha.

5. You were in my plans for the end ever since we made the merge and I started thinking about the end. And no, I wasn't secretly happy when you were voted out. I was devastated. The hardest thing for me to figure out was the last minute plan of would I rather take Tom or Zane to the end. I wish it didn't happen so that you could be sitting here with us...

Thanks Blaine!
