Congrats Lee and Grace, happy to sit with 2 of my loyal allies, it was a great game.
I came in this game without knowing amyone at all. From my original first season, only returnee was Lee, so he was the first person I talked to. I knew that most people know each other and I will have to make connections or I will not last long. Keizo, Grace and Dylan was from my original tribe, so I put effort and tried to connect with them, which later paid off. At the swapped tribe I was in minority, only with Dylan as my ally, so I had to play quiet game and to listen what the majory wants. I make connection with Chloe to try to protect myself and her, since I believed she is not in the core 3 (Hufus, X and Logan). I also tried to make connection with Logan, but unfortunately all we talked for was the vote, so I knew that this will be temporary alliance. As i expected, my original tribe was a target in the swapped tribe and Julian and Dylan was voted out. I wanted to make a move, but Julian was innactive and I had not enought power so I decided that in merge will be the best time for this.
Once the merge happaned I reconnected with Grace, Keizo and Lee and my newest ally Chloe which put me in a good position, but very soon I find out that my swapped tribe (X, Logan and Hufus) are trying to make a 6 person alliance and since no one came to talk with me, I knew that we will play against each other. Keizo stayed loyal to me and we make a new alliance of people who were not in the main alliance, which also included Grace, Lee and Chloe. Paul I believe also flipped and we had 6, so X was voted out. After this everyone flipped on our side and we came with the decision to vote out Logan, which was not the original plan, but we swiched later due to possible idol play. After this vote I won my 3rd immunity and with the clues I got, I found the merge idol which cemented my good position. For 8th place, the plan was to vote out Hufus, but Chloe and James voted for Paul for some reason and it tied. I was the only person at the revote who wanted to keep Paul as it was our original plan, but had to go with the rest, since we were not close enought to push my wish. I knew that this little flip will be followed by something bigger and when I lost the immunity for 7th and Hufus who was the plan for 7th won it, I decited just to sit and find out what the rest will want to do, since I don't wanted to vote any of the rest. Soon after this I heard that James wanted to be me, but he doesn't have strong enough relationship with the rest and all 3 Keizo, Grace and Lee told me about his plan and that they want to play with me. I really believed them, because we were friends and allies since very beggining and I decided to not play my idol to prove my strong social and strategic game. James went in 4-3 and Chloe followed him soon after since she flipped againt me and did not came to talk with me after this. I gave a chance to Lee, Keizo and Grace to help with the decision, but they also did not liked her flip and we were all good with this decision. Hufus was the last person outside of my alliance so when i got my immunity I was solid in voting him, since we never really talked. In f4 I put my effort and won my 5th out 7 immunities win and decided to take Lee, since I knew him for longest and I promiced him my loyalty since the beggining. I'm very happy that all of my loyal allies make it to the f4 and I can't imagine the game to end better for me. I believe i said most of my game, I had a dominating physical game and won 5 immunities and 1 idol. Strong social game, so i was aware of everything that is happening in the merge tribe and even when i did not had immunity I was safe. And a good strategic game based on loyalty.
Will like to answer all of ur questions.
