hey Bas!

- How much do you think you benefitted from your friendships with other villains and heroes, and do you think you would have made it to the end without those ties?

This might sound bad but I feel like not as much as people initially assume looking at the season's cast. On day 1/2 I was at a concert all day both days for labor day weekend and when I got home being on only like 3 times for 20 mins previously after the immunity challenge was posted I had already heard of an alliance had been formed without me which included Alissa who was the person I was closest to outside of this game and she didn't tell me anything about it until after the Ci'ere vote. The outsiders as a whole came together and took back the majority I was left out of because people thought I had connections, so premerge it sorta worked against me at first. Szymon was someone else I was close to but he didn't trust me bc I backstabbed him in a game previously out of yolo-ness, so I had to work especially harder on him since he knew me and knew I could backstab him regardless of a friendship. I never had to rely on friendship alone to further myself in the game specifically per say, and in more cases it worked against me. I think the only one friendship helped benefit me was how I would approach Szymon initially, so in a way yes but I think the fact that I had friends in this game sorta made my job harder because actually Bailey pointed out to this initial alliance that he knew I had friends on the cast and wanted me out.

I think honestly yes, friendship helped with some but hurt with others and as I said I didn't really ever need to use friendship as a way to solely get what I wanted out of the vote. I had to work every vote with people I wasn't friends with previously, so I believe my gameplay was strong enough even without some friends here to make it this far. I had to make new relationships with new people as well as maintain healthy relationships with people I knew. It benefitted in helping me keep healthy ones sometimes because it was easier to talk to them, so I feel like my social game was strong enough with either circumstance with people regardless.

'''- I don't know Sora as a person. Let me get to know you! What are some things that make you Sora?'''

Well I wish we coulda talked in the game but the game kinda got in the way of that starting, but I'm Sora, I'm 20 and I'm a student in college. I'm a guy (many people don't seem to get that at first for some reason lmao), apart from watching Survivor I love watching other shows like Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Walking Dead. I love football and played a few years of it in high school, but got hurt and that killed that. I'm really laid back and don't take much seriously unless I put my mind to it and get it done (aka im also lazy). I think gifs are really funny as well as the american election this year, which made me appreciate Saturday Night Live more. I've been told I'm sorta random and sarcastic at times, my favorite food is like BBQ ribs and my favorite drink is gatorade. I hate bananas with a passion and think they're gross, along with coconuts so I don't ever plan on actually playing Survivor lol. I've been watching Survivor since Samoa, and try not to miss episodes (I've been bad recently w this season which makes me sad). I had a job landscaping over the summer which made me vow to not end up w a shitty job when I get older (or one that requires constant manual labor). I've been attacked since I've been here bc people think my manga is UGLY but they know nothing!!! I live/go to school in the city so I'm pretty active (when not sitting on a computer doing this lol). But ya that's just the jist of me/random stuff that came to my mind so even though it's only a paragraph I hope it helps !!!

Just for fun: Please compare the F3 and the jurors to specific players from Heroes vs. Villains and explain why they're similar.

(I keep trying to upload images on the wiki for these comparison things but it literally keeps stopping me so i'm sorry for not posting a gif w all of these) (also I haven't watched HvV in forever so some of these maybe rusty)

Sarah- Cirie, people knew from past seasons how smart and dangerous they were and were taken out before a switch up in the tribe.

Chris- Rob,  controlled pretty much the early portion of the game before being taken out because of a change in the game.

Bas- Candice, stealthily knows their position in the game trying to make future plans to save themselves and was kick ass in challenges.

Tom- JT, a challenge beast but also a character, both of them played very well but made one fatal error before they relized it was too late.

Miguel- Coach, big characters who aren't afraid to say what's on their mind as well what they think their position in the game was.

Szymon- Russell,  STRICTLY BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE SO UPSET WITH HIM and other ppl fit other people better but I couldn't double use them, Tom could've also worked but mainly ya they all controlled things.

Alissa- Sandra, always said what's on their minds but could always work and get themselves out of trouble just with their mouths alone, also v easy to get along with!

Emma- Amanda, both one of the true people who ran the heroes but get oversighted for it. They're sneaky but at the same time so likable.

Jennifer- Jerri, both started in australia, both were considered villainess' that season but returned with a more heroic game play.

Eddie- Courtney, always ready to snatch and collect who needed to be, such a fun person and a great ally and friend!!!!!

Bryce- Colby, they had a lot of hype before the season started but once it did people were kinda disappointed with both of them in a way. They were loyal to the people they were with and didn't have to backstab people.

Sora- Parvati, sorta a cop out but both had two idols and had to work from the bottom to get to the top throughout the whole game.

Dusk- Danielle, part of a duo their season who they were loyal to, but extremely social with everyone and good presence to have around! They were such a lowkey threat the entire time as well.
