Hi Eva! It is nice to see you again since I haven't really had a chance to speak with you since the combined tribal.

In regards to your question, it is honestly surprising to me that people felt I was rude to them in this game. I tried my best to remain kind to people in this game regardless of if we were voting together or not, and I think that Jenna and Priscilla are great examples of me being successful in that regard. We literally voted together maybe one time in this game? Yet they still seem to really like me on a personal level. I think I am going to just address each of the jurors that voted for Yannick at the merge tribal and kinda give my take on our relationship and hopefully that helps to remove the idea that I was unkind to them.

Hannah: Her and I bonded a lot on a personal level and I really don't think we talked much game at all on our time on Thanonchai together. She had nothing but kind words to say about me on her way out, so I don't assume she is someone that has an issue with me.

Sim: This is one person that I feel like could really be mad at me in this game. Though I was never outright unkind to him, him and I literally didn't speak after like the first hour of the merge. I don't know why I never thought to reach out to him more, I guess it was just after I kind of awkwardly kept targeting him premerge, I didn't think that he would have been able to establish a true connection. I hope that any hard feelings between us can be resolved because I honestly don't hold a negative opinion of him.

Jenna: With Jenna I believe that I did really show a genuine kindness to her, that seems to have been reciprocated by the kindness that she returned to me in her speech.

Priscilla: I also feel like I did a good job at handling my relationship with Priscilla even though we both lied to each other multiple times.

Rhi: With Rhi, at the start of the merge, I was definitely unsure of where I was going to stick in regards to alliances. I began talking to her to rekindle our connection on Talap and see where she was thinking with the vote and if I agreed with it. Once she started saying Yannick, I knew I didn't want to go along with that, but didn't want to make waves by trying to shift the vote around so I stuck with the NuSamsao group. I was genuinely trying to help Rhi get into a good position in this game because in my eyes, after your vote and the betrayal that took place, that she would be someone targeted soon into the merge. I think that this may have came off as me being condescending to her, but I genuinely did like Rhi and wanted her to last in this game. After the vote happened and I flat out lied to her about where I was voting, I went to her in an attempt to salvage our relationship and told her that I only didn't vote with her for Yannick because I felt like that was too early to take him out. I was trying hard to get Maya and Yannick to improve their relationships with her because I wanted those three and myself to potentially be an alliance moving forward. After that vote, I knew things between Rhi and were were fractured, but I still tried my best to be friendly to her. A t the Jenna vote, I know that I may have been seen as rude when I was acting so distant with her and Jake. This was intentional though because I wanted them to believe that they were in trouble when they really weren't so that Jenna wouldn't see it coming, and that if they had an idol they would play it and waste it. Maybe in times where she was the vote, I acted awkward because I had a hard time speaking to her when I knew that I was writing her name down at that tribal, but I genuinely never meant to not be kind to her, or anyone else, in this game.

Thank you for giving me a place to address this, I hope you have a great rest of your evening!
