@Sag
Dana, you’ve kinda avoided attacking your competitors’ games. The jury is pretty much aware of the game you played so far, so I’d prefer if you’d please focus more on comparing it directly to your competitors’ when answering my question.

I don't want to attack Eli or Gonzalo's games because that has a negative connotation, but I hope I can show in as much detail as possible how my game was different than both of theirs, and that it is the more deserving of the three.
Eli's game was predominantly spent on the edge. Even the damn Finale episode was titled The Edge of Eli: I think Gonzalo called it that and we had a good laugh. Eli didn't show up for the first immunity challenge and was voted off. His time on the edge does not seem deserving of being better than the moves I made while still in the game. For the first half of the edge, his only real competition was Sagar, as 4 people raised their sail. Throughout the merge, all I would hear from people heading to the edge was that Eli was steamrolling everything. Of course people are going to give him fire tokens for advantages. I did it day 2 and I would not change a thing for my steal-a-vote, or the spyglass I bought from Noah. Eli was able to buy two challenge advantages and without those he would not have returned, so I will applaud him on that. Still, he failed in the finale to get me out, which so many of you are taking note of. He had three opportunities to win against me in challenges, as he was probably my biggest competitor. His strategic decisions in the finale were poor as well. At the final 6, he wasted his idol, as everyone was on board to vote out Vlad. At the final 5, he voted for Vincent, who I think had a chance to beat me, yet voted out my biggest competition instead of Wes who wanted him out. He listened to me and we voted for Vincent. At the final 4, he voted based off his dislike for Wes instead of thinking with his head and let Gonzalo go to luck.
Gonzalo's gameplay was erratic. Everyone here either likes or does not like Gonzalo. I'm with the former group, but I do recognize the failures of his social and strategic game. From a relationships standpoint, Gonzalo sucked at maintaining positive relationships. Even now as he answers your questions, he has no filter and says whatever the F he wants to about the jurors' games and personalities. Most of his comments are rude and I don't think someone who is that in your face deserves to win. From a perspective on the moves he made, there weren't many. In his answer to your question, I feel like he loosely claimed responsibility. For the Eli and Cameron votes, those were tribe votes, and it's naive of him to think that those were completely his decision, as I'm sure inactivity factored into them. For the Lexey vote, I'm not sure what he's trying to say by "getting the votes on him." We voted for Gonzalo because he was proven to be super untrustworthy and leaked the majority of what anyone said to him. The funniest part of his strategy too with the finale is when he just claimed that Vlad and Vincent's eliminations were the jury's fault? We were the people who had the power to vote. Everyone was mutually ready to vote out Vlad because I exposed his vote at the TJ tribal council against Gonzalo, making no one on either side trust him, Vincent was eliminated because of my strategy I talked about earlier, and Wes drew the purple rock. I hope everyone's perceptions of Gonzalo this entire game are ringing true with his answers.
