1. How are you able to build a cult like this around you in group games?
A CULT?! I don’t know, I feel as though I was able to forge such relationships and possess those firm bonds by providing something stable. Everyone in my group knew that I acted under the “Go Team!” mantra and while everyone else had their own agendas, the betterment of our alliance was always seen as my top priority. That steadfast loyalty could’ve very well been my downfall, but it allowed to me to bring this somewhat dysfunctional majority alliance together and serve as more of a mother bear in a way.
2. How confident were you in Zac and Cameron staying loyal all the way to the finale?
Not at all confident, honestly. I outright confronted both of them at separate times yesterday because I felt as though neither of them were taking me to the end. There had been mutterings of Cameron talking about writing my name down several times prior, especially during F6, so I knew I wasn’t in his ideal endgame. And all of my suspicions/worries I had concerning Zac, despite his protests, were basically confirmed when I won FIC and he immediately went began asking to be voted out of the game cause he couldn’t vote me out!
3. Do you think that not conversing with our side at all on a personal level could hurt your chances?
Oh, of course. My one regret in the game is probably failing to reach out to any of you in the minority to just.. talk. I had conversations with Nick, and Julian to a lesser extent, but even those were brief and I iced the rest of you out. This mindset probably came from the fact that by growing any form of personal attachment, it’d be harder on me emotionally to vote some of you off. I also didn’t bother because I didn’t feel like I needed to, I was comfortable with the people I was with, knowing that those were the people I wanted to go deep with — and I was content with that. However, I do take complete responsibility for not taking the opportunity to personally reach out to most of to strike up conversation and encourage a less conservative environment in a two-sided affair, and I apologize for that!
