Holy cow! Words can't describe how unreal it is sitting here and by any means, this was not an easy game. In roughly 22 days, we saw blindsides, an insane idol play, tension, drama, and god knows how many other things. We all started the game with the mission to win and hopefully after tonight, my case will be strong enough for you jurors to vote for me. Let's kick things off...
STRATEGICALLY: From changing my avatar to look like a noob, to throwing comps, I was constantly thinking of ways to improve my odds of winning this game. I strategically placed myself in the middle every vote where people were coming to me with their ideas and I was able to decide from there what I wanted to do. From this, I tried to also time the vote offs correctly. For example, I didn't want Eli to go at F9 (because he was such a juicy target) so I tried to talk to everyone in the alliance in hopes that someone would leak to Dana or Eli and an idol would be played. It ended up working and Eli stayed another round. Now, I don't know exactly if that's how Dana knew to play the idol but, I'm guessing Garrett told Dana after I talked to him because it seemed weird how both of them voted Josh together. It's also very possible that Dana made the clutch read. Either way, I was pretty much able to make it so that there was always a juicier threat in front of me! :D
SOCIALLY: I think I say this every game I play but I believe my social game was the strongest part of my game. As stated previously, I was trying my best to talk to everyone and I really was playing all sides. Now albeit, there were some people who I didn't talk to all that much such as Dana because I saw Dana/Eli as a duo, so I thought talking to Eli would be enough. Even when targeted, I think it does speak volume that people were willing to keep me around and protect me versus going with the easy vote. Examples would be at the start of the merge where I got targeted by Kyle and Dana, Eli, Josh, and Jacob ended up wanting to save me and when Cai pushed to keep me at F7.
PHYSICALLY: I have won two immunity challenges and honestly, I'm really proud of myself. This season featured some tough competition and if you were to ask me preseason, my guess would be maximum ONE.
Overall, I really enjoyed playing this game with you all and I hope you respect my game! From the first vote to the last, you guys made this season awesome and I'll never forget what happened these past three weeks <3
Best of luck Yander and Cai!
