Hey Will, it's been a long time  and I'm actually really glad to answer these.

1. Yes, I did say to target you over Trace to Ivan, however originally I was under the impression that Ivan was doing what he did on the vote before which was purposely vote in the minority. So I was like "you can nullify my vote and Zane will still leave". Later, (or maybe I misunderstood from the start idk), Ivan changed his plan to you after he had nullified my vote and I had no say in it after that point. I said to target you over Trace because you were a bigger threat to me since I hadn't talked to you in a while and didn't know where your head was truly at, and I had talked to Trace earlier that day. I loved both of y'all but since I hadn't reconnected with you much yet, that's what I thought was best. But I had NO IDEA you were in any actual danger, as I was completely unaware things were changing until after I agreed to have my vote taken away.

2. I think I played a better game than Zane because from the angle I was seeing it at, Zane had very few connections outside of Blaine. I'm not entirely sure where the relationship between Blaine and Zane was but I know Blaine informed him on things at least a few times and he wasn't included in some core chats (he wasn't in one I had and if I remember right he wasn't in the one Ivan had either). I made sure to hide my relationship with Ivan for as long as I could and used it to manuever my way into knowing information I shouldn't have known, which helped me in the long run, I think overall Trace was less social, and always the target of the minority because he didn't establish well enough relationships with them. Plus I do think being on vacation hurt him a lot, even though it wasn't his fault.

3. After you left, I was completely shocked and a little angry that Ivan had basically switched the plan on me (I wrote a confessional where I was like "This was like 95% Ivan's plan all along and If he doesn't realize I figured it out he's 95% stupid). I used it as an opportunity to get closer to Blaine and Trace (we created an f3 chat between all of us). This is when I realized how much I relied on Ivan and because of that I started building my connections with Blaine more knowing that Ivan could do this to me again. In my mind nobody was splitting their votes and we put more solid votes on Zane than 2. Ivan and I also used this opportunity to pretend I was mad at him for nullifying my vote, when we were actually still together 1000%. (Although I was pissed it happened I still wasn't going to go against him)

4. My game plan was to drift from Ivan and Tom and connect more with Trace and Blaine since I had lost some trust in Ivan and gained it with Blaine. Also once it was found out Casey voted you out, I used it as an opportunity to spark distrust for Casey (although her over strategizing with me during the Minke vote off was what made me want her out). I then took her out with Ivan and told Blaine that Ivan was using his double vote (which he told me he was), as an excuse to buy me some time because I really didn't want Ivan out yet. From final 6, I took out Ivan (which took a lot for me to actually do), I had no hand in Blaine getting idoled out, as I explained in the answer to Blaine's question. I also promised you Trace and I would rock this for you, and look where we are now :)

Thanks for asking this Will, and I hope I cleared this up more for you since this night was equally as confusing for me.
