Hey, congratulations to both of you for being in final. But unfortunately, my vote is already made and i Don't see anything that can change this decision. This post is only here to explain my choice.

So Liam, you will not have my vote, i Don't think that you played a bad game tho, i just think that it's not enough to have my vote in this season. Even if i really like more quiet/utr game (i won my first season by playing UTR and it's easily my favorite playstyle since) i feel like you have the major default of most of the UTR game. You see, this kind of game is really good if you want to be at the end, but it's not the same thing if you want to win. From my knowledge, if you want to have the best shot to win with this kind of game, you need to distinguish yourself from the masses, either by being social or by making good and unexepted move. If you don't, people will never give you credit since there will be more visible player that did the same kind of thing. People will never trust you since they will see you as a follower and not someone that took decision by yourself. That why, for exemple, i never really trusted you (even for a short time) before the F5. Tbh, i was really surprised when you came with a plan to vote Seamus, i already had one with Zach and JP and i didn't want to tell you about the vote, because everytime that someone told you something, you told it to Seamus. I feel like by doing this, you lose the flip position that you actually could have. So that's why you will not have my vote. Like i said, you didn't play badly but the cast this season was good and i didn't see any player that make the merge that can lose to you.

JP, obviously, you will have my vote. Even if your jury speech is bad, even if your game is not perfect (i feel like people can see you as a floatter, especially after the merge even if i know that is not true) You always were in good position, you are great at positioning yourself in this game and it's a really important quality if you want to be in final. You often had the power to shift the game and use it carefully to be sure that you will be at the end. It can be seen as someone you just go with the flow, but i know that it's not true because you were the one that come to me with the Trey plan, you proved to me during several discussion that you have a good strategic mind and you also had several occasion to do something that will be against your best interest and chose to not do it (exemple : voting out Zach at F7). You just didn't really need to move in this game by yourself, and i feel like you played it intelligently. Also, i think that your social is great. That's why you had power during a lot of round, that's why you were in the majority alliance at the begining of Makalu, that's why you are here today. Strangely, i feel like your game is not that different to Liam's, but people actually see you as a player during the game, they actually see what you did because you were active and open enough. And i'm really happy to cast this vote for someone i was in the game with for the major part of the time.

Feel free to react if you want, and good luck to both of you.
