Okay so I may not have all of my facts completely correct but I am really going to try here. Bear with me.
So coming into this game I was worried. I had played with a lot of you before and with all of them that I recognized I had actually won against them. (Robby, June, Will, and Robin) and I had also played against Zach and Joel but I'm pretty sure that was a very long time ago and I didn't win. But anywho, I knew I had a bit of a reputation coming into the game so I had to get my social game started immediately.
I made a cross alliance with Robin right off the start. Also had an alliance with Will, Tim, June, and Zach. I was also working very closely with Michael. Everybody I was actually working with, with the exception of Robin, made it to merge, which was great for me. I had an advantage because I had a social thing with almost everyone.
I think I went to two tribals pre merge? Nothing much happened at them when I was there, but I definitely think I was responsible for Nick going out. Joel was supposed to go, but I saw that he was on the bottom and knew he would be more of a target. I saw that all triceros were still in the game and we blindsided him and Tico.
For the first merge boot, I was working constantly and didn't get to vote. But I actually think that worked in my favor because I was going back and forth between Zach and Joel because I was hearing both sides and I honestly didn't know. I really didn't mean to self vote but I did.
Next, Zach was so scary to me even though I had actually be on his alliance. He had a lot of people on his side, like June and I knew he was never going to be close to me and so we voted him out.
I'm pretty sure I never had a talk with Glad so it was honestly an easy vote for me because I had no idea where he was at in the game
Robby was such a tough vote but it needed to happen. He's such a great game player but again he was somebody that I was close with. I knew June was close with him and the vibe I was getting was that Chris was very close with him so he had too many people on his side and we had to vote him. Luckily I got Eric to believe that he was going if he didn't vote Robby and we got the votes.
I was working with Tim before merge but he was essentially a brandon hantz. He kept blowing up and freaking out with anything I said so he was scaring me after he threw me under the bus. It was dangerous to keep him in the game any longer
Then there's Will. I won an immunity which I was so happy about and I was closest to Will and probably the only person I was completely loyal to. I wanted Sean out and we had June it on it, but unfortunately this is the only time that I didn't vote in the majority and June told Sean and they blindsided Will. It was a great move but I think June may still be here if he hadn't.
June was next and I knew I needed to win immunity so I tried my hardest and luckily Chris and June were eliminated and I won it. Sean and I talked and I don't think June said a word to me that tribal? I might be mistaken. But anyway, we both decided that June had a great underdog game and he had to go. So I told Eric that June was voting him again and Eric believed it, voting June out.
Finally, this mess that just happened. Sean and Chris both promised they would keep me, went back on their word and voted me. Did I expect different? Not at all. But honestly Chris didn't need to do that because he was already safe regardless. And Sean was trying to play the nice guy apologizing but he has to blah blah blah. So I told them Eric was totally going to self-vote, which he did, and instead they thought he would vote me. So here I am because I thought things out.
I played smart, social and strategic. Yes, I absolutely would have been out if Eric would have voted. But I could have also been out if he didn't vote and I voted Chris. I thought how I could potentially get out of that situation and it worked. I sit here because I fought and constantly pl
