Max: On paper you've played a great game, only receiving two votes at the final six Tribal Council; then one in the re-vote. Easily sliding through and making it to the end flawlessly with barely any votes to your name. While the other two, Ikah and Silver had votes at countless Tribal Councils. I know from my experiences with you, you're always working angles. What were some of the smaller more intricate moves you made?
I think Lilly answered this question for me in her speech tbh. I simply just ensured I was never a target in the game to the best of my ability. I had a deal with Nick and we kept each other safe to the best of our abilities, I actually was relatively honest about everything in the game. While that doesn't sound like good gameplay is kept me safe as long as Ikah and Silver were still in. I mean put me next to Hufus and it becomes apparent how it helped. Hufus managed to lie about his position in the game for like 3-4 votes almost flawlessly. But as soon as it became apparent that he was lying, it instantly benefitted my game. Suddenly I had another shield and Nick lost a lot of trust with Hufus. For me everyone knew where I stood in the game and being upfront about it allowed me to continue building trust with Nick and made no one target me because I wasn't as volatile or capricious as Ikah or Silver was. These are just a few that come to mind but I'll say a bit more of my small moves if asked for them.
(Reading back on this it sounds so butchered but eh, took too much time on the question to rewrite it. XD)
- AWARDS -
Hero of The Season: Nick, I don't think I really need to explain it here. He played heroically to a fault. He was loyal to his allies and struggled to make any villainous moves. He stayed true to himself and it's something I respect.
Villain of The Season: Hufus, this might be strange to some people but all things considered, Hufus was an absolute bastard this season (I mean that in a good way Hufus XD). From giving up his idol to take out Kolby to manipulating half the cast to think he was with them 100%. He might not have a villainous personality but his gameplay was quite ruthless at times.
Player of The Season: I'll also give this to Hufus, I don't think many people recognize how much control he had in the game. If I hadn't taken him out in the final 5 I think he would be winning this game. He came so close but somehow I managed to take him out with a few ragtag messages to Silver and Nick.
Fan-Favorite: Lilly

Personal Favorite: Demi, this one is a bit out there but I just loved how messy her game was, it was at the point of being entertaining. I have to stan an iconic messy queen going from hero to least trusted (According to touchy subjects).
Personal Least-Favorite: Zach, I mean in addition to us barely ever talking, he just seemed like a sheep and goat. I don't really have too much respect for his gameplay since he didn't really do anything to impact the game.
Best Social Game: Hufus, just for fact that he manipulated people so well. Although I guess this award gets revoked after he was figured out and since he was highly hated after that.
Best Strategic Game: Lilly, she probably would have won this game had it not been for the double tribal at the final 10. She set up her group, ruled her alliance, and was leading lambs to the slaughter.
