Hi Zach, thanks for asking me this question.

1. Jake- Jake was able to be on both sides of the votes multiple times and not get caught for it until his voteoff. Even though Jake was clearly marking a side every time he voted, he would still manage to get in the other sides good graces, something I attempted to do once he left. I believe that he could've easily won this game if anyone let him get to the end.

2. Dom- Dom had 2 idols at her disposal for the beginning of the merge, as well as an alliance that had her back ride or die. People caught onto it obviously, and that explains the constant attempts to get her out, and maybe had she stayed, things could've played out differently.

3. I'm putting myself here- I believe that throughout the game, I made decisions with a purpose, as well as an excuse. When going into votes, I asked myself two questions, "Will this further me in the game" and "Will I be able to explain myself out of this if it backfires". To avoid explaining my entire game in this one paragraph, I'm going to stop here.

4. Jessy-  Jessy was able to put herself in positions to where she got what she wanted. Jessy played strategically and socially and executed it fairly well. The problem with Jessy's game is that she was more focused on herself, instead of her surroundings. When Jessy approached moves, she didn't look at the other side of things, or how she was perceived by others. A lot of people felt annoyed by her paranoia, almost to the point where she looked more crazy instead of playing a game.

5. I'm putting you- You were a koror, but you knew how to make yourself look like you were a 703. I give you and Liam props for being able to be the last two Korors standing, it is what I tried to use in Rome. I believe that if you got to the end, based on your past games, and your ability to talk to others, you could put together an extremely convincing case.

6. Alex- Alex also knew how to balance his relationships with both sides, but he did get caught out the round Jake was voted out. This puts him further down the rank because (as he claims was due to sleep depriviation), he did slip up and show his cards to early per say.

7. Liam- Liam also had to overcome adversity due to losing his allies. However, Liam was not the most invested person, and I think it shows in his work ethic (excluding the final immunity obviously). He had the best intentions, but not the best execution.

8. Will- I had the pleasure of working closely with Will and I feel as though he definitely deserved getting further. After us saving each other's asses, we were able to have mature strategic conversations, and he always had deep plans in mind, the problem is that he was not able to execute them and I sadly had to do most of this merge journey without him

9. Aren- Aren was known as a hard player going into the merge and I firmly believe he was guilty by association. Obviously I hadn't met him until merge, but he had played the game until that point. Obvious effort is there, but he didn't have a chance to execute it.

10. Seth- I never saw Seth giving effort until the round he left. This is why he is ranked as low as he is. This may be as I never built a strong relationship with him, but my explanation is really short because of that sorry Seth :(.

11. Charley- Charley was always following what Jessy or Jake said for the most part. I never saw her playing for herself. The one move I thought was Charley was actually more Alex, so I don't see her as a very strong player.

12. Micah- The only thing I ever said to you was about euphoniums. To my knowledge, you weren't very active in approaching people who weren't korors and due to that, I have no idea what the game you played was. Also, you left extremely early.

13. Jamie- Jamie threw her votes towards the end, and just did whatever people wanted. She didn't care about the game at all

I hope this satisfies you Zach.
