Hey guys! I just wanna say a congrats to the both of y'all because a sis is incredibly jealous at the moment (': But yeah, congrats on doing what 19 people couldn't and making it here! From a personal standpoint, I think you guys are seriously super amazing but in terms of the game, I wish I could say the game. I hope this isn't seen as like... "drag-y" or mean or anything, it's just how I feel :D

Linus, when I left I did state that I didn't understand your game and sitting here... I still kinda don't. I think my issues stem from expectations I had for you and the actual execution of what you did. On paper, you played a good game to get where you're at and didn't have any votes against you. My thing is that you were the safest out of anybody given your 675849 immunity wins and your 2 idols yet your gameplay was also incredibly safe. Maybe I'm being delusional/selfish but I expected you to be BOLDER considering the fact that you were so untouchable and you just weren't. I said this on the jury like tons of times but you had the most weapons in your arsenal and never really managed to use them. Like I told you on the call we had, the idols being given to Grace would be seen as her move moreso than yours and the fact that it happened twice kinda affirms that to me at least. While I am proud of you getting here and am super happy for you, the way in which it happened leaves a lot more to be desired.

Questions for Linus:

Maybe I'm overreacting here but all your speeches/responses tonight made it seem like you didn't neccesarily value me in the game and I understand it given our game relationship, but it does make me feel bad on a personal level since I at least thought we were tight/good on that end. So I just want to know your favorite moment with me in the game and 3 things you learned about me (I was asked this in Byz by Tyler I believe, gotta keep that tradition going hgjfdks)

You told me that your mind was all over the place during the Final 5 vote and told me that in complete honesty, you didn't know what you were gonna do. That being said, it seemed to me that a decision was made super quickly given you/Grace/Rob had a thing and you passed an idol to Grace a second time, so was I actually heard or was it just like... something to get my hopes up because that's how I felt in the moment.

Finally, it's so secret that you weren't the most... out there (and I wasn't either, so no like disrespect there). My question to you is if you could've been super bold during any round of the merge, what would you have done and what would've been the result. Like think of a situation where you desperately wanted something to happen but you just didn't vocalize it and it never went anywhere.

Rob, my kinda ride or die! <3 To answer your question to me of why I didn't love your game, I think it was because your game kinda just enabled huge threats getting to the end. During various rounds of the game, you'd say "it's too early" for a lot of moves at least from my perspective. For example, during the Aro round you were against Linus going given it was too early but then the very next round regretted that choice. In a sense, I am being bitter given the fact what was enabled basically caused my elimination. (That probably makes no sense hgjfdks, I can't type) but basically, I just felt that you were Grace's puppet when I left. Do I still think that? Slightly. Also, I do want to address your response to Grace's question because it personally rubbed me the wrong way and I'm not sure if it was your intention.

"Additionally, he told me that this was “our” idol, so I knew that I would not have the target of “having the idol,” but I had the perks that went with it, which will be seen later on.", like.... I totally was lying out of my ass by saying it was "our" idol, I just needed you to feel more secure with me so I said that oop ghfjds but I understand why you thought that.

"This was implemented during the first merge vote when he was one of the first people to know that Joan was the target. However, we made sure that he was receiving the information from other individuals such as Drew, Grace, and Nathan while I received my information from Alex, Aromal, and Mihai." This is where my issues mostly stem from just because you are making it seem that my connections were just because you wanted them in that direction and like I was being micromanaged (I think the we made sure part is what seels that to me) and yes, my connection to those 3 helped us a ton but emphasis on MY connection dude ;-; Idk, I'm maybe just making it a bigger deal than it has to be but it didn't sit well with me. I'm not being the most articulate, but I think my issue with some of your responses are that they are a bit on the cocky side and very blantantly overselling things, so my suggestion would be to sit back and assess and perhaps show a little bit of weakness to balance the rest.

Questions for Rob:

My first question for you would be... what was your weakest moment in the game (strategically and personally).

When I left, you felt really bad and I felt that hgfjdsk I really did, but it also just seemed like everything you did from essentially F7 to my elimination kinda set me up for failure (at least that's how I felt). Also given the nature of your relationship with Grace and how many, including myself, believed you were Grace's puppet at times, what would your endgame had been if Grace had left at F6.

Due to us being a super well hidden duo (<333), we did share a lot of info to each other and had daily tea spillings hgjfdk, so what was piece of info that I gave you was super beneficial/helpful that you were not privy too. And likewise, what do you think was the most important piece of info you gave me in the game that benefitted us both.

Questions for both finalists:

I tend to ask these two silly questions every time I play, so enjoy hgfjdks! For one, if this season had a DVD cover, which 6 players would be on it and why? I was also gonna ask to compare me to a Survivor player, but Nathan took that from me ;-; so my altered question is kinda a two parter. One would be, '''what do you think my story arc this season was and what do you think yours was? Second, if you had to compare me to a Survivor season (yes, a whole ass season), what would it be and why?'''

I had tons of fun playing with y'all and playing this game, so thanks for reading my long ass speech and being subject to my dumb questions <3
