<p>Hey John! </p><p>What you would have done if you hadn't won immunity or had that idol </p><p>Honestly the answer is just the sheer amount of loyalty that my alliances had, I dont think I have ever had an alliance before that was as loyal as me, Tara, and Andre were to each other- and I also dont think Rob would have voted me out either, at least definitely not at Final 7 </p><p>At Final 6, Tara was actually narrating the chain of events to me as they happened- so I knew I was getting targeted immediately after Rhi and Danielle put it into motion. We were fine with it, even encouraging, because we knew it didnt matter with the idol expiring that night. Had I not had the idol, I believe she could have easily swayed the women away from voting for me, which would have definitely worked since they were essentially at her mercy, she hinted at this in her speech if I interpreted it right so I definitely feel safe about that! </p><p>At Final 5, I still had the whole loyalty thing going for me, but I felt especially safe because of Danielle being a great shield. I reminded everyone often how good her case would be at the end, along with the fact that she likely had Sam, Zach, and Luke’s jury votes locked up, meaning she would only need one more. This meant that without immunity she would still be heading home intuitively </p><p>Then at the Final 4, again I just had to trust in the loyalty I cultivated. Andre, Tara and I would talk about the Final 3 soo often, ever since double digits portions of this game tbh… it got to the point where we were invested in it so deeply that if they did cut me it would be just so fucked up and god awful jury management (same for me to them), so I never really felt in danger. Despite this, I knew I was playing a good game, one that I probably would not want to sit next to if possible, so I figured I would rather be safe than sorry and go hard on immunity just in case!! </p><p>Could you highlight one move in your game you did without Andre that stands out the most? </p><p>I would say the biggest thing that I did without Andre was collide with you and Rhi to form the five person alliance of us, Rob, and Andre. It seemed like I really took the initiative there from our duo and Andre didnt have any role in the formation of it. He was more of just a number that was added on later when we agreed he was needed. This sticks out in my head cause that alliance controlled the F10 and F9 votes, and played a huge role as a the prequel to the F8 vote, so us coming together and making it happen was definitely something neat that shaped the game in a pretty major way!  </p><p>Gifs </p><p>I had a lot of fun with this one but they need some explanations: </p><p>​​​​
This is me towards Luke, Sam, Danielle, and Zach... I LOVE them all as people, and they were so fun to talk to in this game, but I didnt come here to be a layer of their alliance, I wanted to be the core of my own- so we sadly didnt work together much despite the love I did have for them </p><p>​​​
I always told myself to play like a duck! While swimming, ducks look very calm from the surface, most people would guess they're just chilling. But whats not seen is that they're legs underwater are constantly kicking. To be a duck means to constantly be analyzing and crunching numbers while giving off a calm and cool demeanor!! Hopefully you see some duck in my game! </p><p>
I love Game of Thrones lol- basically this game I wanted to be ruthless. In the past, I would get blinded by friendship or be too forgiving, but here I wanted to have a clear cut strategy to vote people out as soon as they crossed me </p><p>
A big part of keeping alliances healthy is being flexible and going with the flow. Once I got to the final 7 with my F4 alliance, I felt that I was guaranteed FTC tbh, so I tried to be "breezy" about the boot order the best I could (though I definitely still voiced my preferences) </p><p>
I discovered this vine last night and i LOVE it- basically this is me I guess around the merge? Just ready to fight tbh and get a little wild </p><p>

Awwww I love this one- its my Final 3 alliance getting all sentimental at the end of the season. Harry Ron and Hermione go through SO much in the franchise and I feel like we really did here too! We always had each others backs though and have sort of a cute dynamic like these three </p><p>Let me know if you have any more questions!! I am SO glad we worked together here and that you got to see me not be insane in a game (hopefully) </p>

<p>Thanks for the response David! ? (side note: that vine of the kid is hilarious jhdhjsdkhf) </p>

<p>hiya john! thank u so much for ur questions! </p><p>

I think you misread my final paragraph where I mentioned that Anthony saw me as a threat. I meant this and the previous sentence as two completely different thoughts. The reason why I thought I got no votes during merge was because I put myself in a position where OG Sekhmet relied on me as a number and because of my tight bond with Andre and David. I think I did a pretty successful, maybe too successful lol, job of dumbing myself down so that it was hard for people to see any strategy. For example, when I flipped on Sam, I told Danielle “sorry i just didn’t see any reason to going to rocks for someone who was so mean to me “ when it was more to do with Sam believing and becoming very close with Rob, and at the same time I also thought Rob was doing the same with Sam when we needed Rob as a number. </p><p>
</p><p>
Additionally, I apologise that my speech made it seem like my game relied on my double idol. I played it at the the final 11 and then survived 8 rounds after that without ever needing immunity, because of my own social positioning. While my double idol definitely helped my position, since Anthony was the biggest campaigner against me, Anthony still went unanimously in the revote and I was set up very well for the rest of the endgame. If I wasn’t to have my double idol, my whole approach to that tribal would’ve been different. In f11 I played extremely risky knowing that I had the safety net of that double idol, without having a safety net I wouldn’t have been so confident about campaigning to get Anthony out, and instead would’ve set stones to show people how he was a threat. I also would’ve continued to work hard on my social game with him as I did in premerge to hopefully stop conversations he was having about me with other people of me being a threat. </p><p>

um.. this gif challenge was the hardest. i have been looking HIGH and LOW but don't really know where to look and then the gifs wouldn't save as gifs on my laptop and i couldn't figure out how to upload them here even and when they did they would still only be pictures cos thts just how my laptop plays me like that but HERE u go. https://giphy.com/gifs/baby-oh-yftDn9t43Af1S  </p>

<p>Thanks for the clarifications Tara, it really helped! ? And I didn't expect that ending to the gif LOL </p>

<p>Would you mind elaborating on what you did in those rounds? </p><p>Ever since it was first made, I was pretty much committed to my Real Housewives of Egypt alliance with Tara, Rob, and David. So when final 7 came around, the only options to vote out for me really were you, Rhi, and Danielle. While I did enjoy our Nut Sluts alliance a lot, it didn't make sense to take out Danielle, the last remaining of the four Sekhmets, since she didn't pose a big of a challenge threat as much as you and Rhi did. Both you and Rhi already won immunities by that point, so you had to go one after the other in my eyes. As to why you were sent home first before Rhi, I will admit that it was more to appease Rob since he had wanted you out the previous round and we didn't want to make him feel more betrayed by us than he already did. For the most part, I don't think anyone dictated the votes per se because it was pretty much a logical consensus among everyone that it was all in our best interests that you and Rhi leave back to back. </p><p>With regards to what I specifically did in these rounds though, I felt like I played a big part in making sure that these plans pushed through without any trouble, especially during final 7. In that round, I personally felt as though I was much more active than David in making sure that you and Rhi still trusted our alliance. I talked a lot more in our group chat and reassured you both that the plan to vote out Danielle was still in place. In doing so, I was able to ensure that no revolt of some sort would happen. For example, if I had not talked as much and you and Rhi got wind of the plan to vote the both of you out, you guys could've easily went to Danielle and would've just needed one more vote to have the majority. </p><p>I know you touched on this a little bit in your speech, but could you expand on one thing that you did separately from David that you think stands out the most? </p><p>I think the second paragraph of my answer to the previous question pretty much serves as a gist as to what I did separately from David. Throughout the game, I was more involved with regards to the backstabbing and betrayals, while David just sat back in the shadows waiting for them to happen. While to some that may come across as good gameplay, I honestly feel like it's a sign of weakness and shows his inability to make things happen for himself. Essentially, the main difference between us is that I controlled my own destiny, while he let other people control his destiny for him. </p><p>And a final question for everyone: pick a gif (or a few gifs if you want) that you think best describes your overall game! </p><p>https://media1.tenor.com/images/5ece7adc48eeb439ba40be4a4be83493/tenor.gif?itemid=12171481 </p><p>I think this pretty much speaks for itself, LMAO. :x </p>

<p>Thanks for the answer Andre! Kandi Burruss what a queen ? </p>
