I'll surface this by saying it wasn't purely my move - though to be honest, most moves made in Survivor can't be owed to a single individual. After all, this is a game of numbers and alliances, and it's just impossible to credit a whole vote to one single person. With all of that said, I believe that the move I made/took part in which benefitted my game the most would have to be the David vote. I had been pretty tight with David throughout the pre-merge and early merge - we went on calls together to discuss strategy, we generally had each other's back and we were both part of the early game Beavertown alliance. However, his position in the game grew to a point where he successfully managed to eliminate the "other side" of the game, from his perspective - you, Wendy, Eve, and Nic - mostly through his own efforts, by contributing a lot to your vote-outs.

This perception of him being a strong, dedicated player would have gotten him possibly the most jury votes if he made it to the end of the game. I know I'd have voted for him against almost anybody. Furthermore, David was growing wary of players like myself and Alex, which kept contact with you guys - his justification was that the two of us were jury threats. The move certainly helped me big time because it took out somebody who ultimately didn't want to keep me around too much - David's strength as a player was by far the biggest immediate danger to my game, and his vote-out I'd say definitely helped pave a bit of a path for me to the endgame.

This ties in a lot with my answer to Wendy's speech, where I was asked to talk about an important move I made which was ultimately a mistake. Shortly put, I'd say that choosing to not throw the F8 challenge was something I'd definitely change if I had the chance to.

The two main reasons for this are that, you, Kyle, were left at a point in which your closest allies were Alex and I, and also that by throwing the F8 challenge, Elias would have went home that day. This would have carved ahead a slightly easier pathway to the end, by taking care of one other person other than myself that was definitely slipping through the cracks if the perceived threats of the game (David, Aras, possibly Alex) were voted out. By not throwing that challenge, I made things a little bit harder for myself and I lost an ally in you who I could have potentially closely worked with for a good couple of votes, at least.
