1. Sam, I think Sam played one of the best games this season. After the first merge vote he was positioned really well as people weren’t threated by his pair with Justin anymore, and he kept up relations with people on all sides. Both Brandon/Tobys side and our side were always trying to get him onside so I think that was a great position for him. This is exactly why I had to vote him out last time.

2. Toby, one of the best strategic players for sure being in control from final 11 to 8 and using Brandon as a more immediate physical threat to shield himself.

3. Nadine, coming into a game as a past winner is always hard but she really proved why she won and that she is really a force to be reckoned with.

4. You, played such a great social game and managed to create bonds with people that would have ensured you the win if you made it to the end which is why I think you were taken out quite early.

5. Nathaniel was in a swing vote position a lot which gave him a lot of power and I think that can be threatening which most likely explains why he was eliminated before he could turn against Brandon/Toby.

6. Matt, recovered extremely well from almost going home/having one of his closest allies leave the game. Was never on anyones radar until final 6 and that was mainly by association with Sam. If he was sitting here I am sure he would win because of his effective gameplay and likeability.

7. Justin, certainly a great player and proved that pre merge, just put him here since he was out in the first merge episode so never had a chance to showcase his game.

8. Jenna, definitely was playing the game despite what people think, coming up with plans and not being afraid to go against her allies. Only so low as no one viewed her as a threat, which shows her game was effective.

9. Rhys, the least threatening as he had so many shields like Brandon/Toby/Sam who would always be bigger targets than him, but nevertheless still played an effective UTR game as it got him to final 6!

Thanks Nicole!
