@ryan I need to hear from you what sole moves were your own that came from you and you put into motion!
I would say the biggest vote I put into motion was the Sydney vote. I WILL give credit to Lilly though, because she was the first person to say Sydney’s name but that is who I intended to go home anyway. Lilly had originally planned on siding with Chloe in that vote, but I exposed everything to Dana because I knew that if Dana were to leave that round, it wouldn’t be good for me numbers wise. So getting out Sydney really opened the door for me moving forward because I felt like it would lessen the target on my back.
Another vote I lead was the Julio vote. Originally, we all were locking in Ranz that round. However, Austin went and spilled the beans to Julio/Ranz so I knew I had to change the course of action and get my alliance to flip their votes onto Julio. Voting Julio was 100% beneficial to me because he was the person who tried to curse me early on in the game and was the reason I had the idol in my pocket. I had never even played a game with Julio, so that fact he was so willing to curse me so early on(literally day 2 or 3), I knew he was someone I wouldn’t be able to have any sort of game connection with.
I also had a hand in the Bubba vote out, even though it was more a group consensus. But I still was able to stay that round, whenever it would’ve been more beneficial for Dana/Marissa to try and get me out at that point.
I feel like the two moves I made late game (Sydney/Bubba) were solely beneficial to my game. Richard and Marissa may argue that it was beneficial to them too, but I don’t see how voting out Bubba was more beneficial to their game than say, voting me out. I was able to convince them that voting Bubba was beneficial to all of us, when in reality the person that vote most benefited was myself.
So yeah I didn’t have a HUGE say in a lot of votes. I know I wasn’t the greatest mastermind this game, but I didn’t really need to be. I made smart, calculated moves that weren’t flashy, but were the most beneficial to myself and my game.
