Hi Ruth, I was super scared of your speech because I knew you would go out with a bang and… you delivered. Kudos to you. ❤️

Ok so, lots to unpack here, let’s get to it:

'''Q1: Hiding behind Logan's back is NOT a strategy. '''

It is if it makes people trust you. I would amplify Logan’s threat level in messages and tell people I was on board with voting him out so people would trust me and not go somewhere else to find the numbers they needed.

People still thought of me as a threat, I was just not the biggest one. Like I said before, it makes no sense to vote out the biggest threat if you know then you’ll become the biggest threat and get voted out the next tribal.

Q2: I made no moves, just connections with people.

Ok so, even not considering social game, I can’t agree with you when you say I made no moves. Maybe you think I followed Logan’s plans blindly but that wasn’t the case, we talked about it in our chats before telling everyone else, I just made sure people didn’t think that towards the end so that they’d come to me for a counter plan and I would know where everyone was voting.
 * I sent a stray vote for Jacob and played an idol correctly
 * I created the alliance with me/you/Megan/Jacob/Logan which initiated Bradley’s vote-off
 * Logan and I initiated the vote-off of Randy, you, Tal and Ty.

Q3: Prove that I am better than Megan.

The main reason is that I had way more control over who was voted out, so I was able to actually create the perfect path for me to reach the end, whereas Megan had to adapt to decisions that in a lot of times, were not in her best interest and did not fit with her plans.

Q4: Mention not less than 3 reasons why I should NOT win this game.

I actually really like this question. I’m gonna give you 5: Q5: What are my thoughts about you (Ruth)?
 * 1) I was one vote away from being the first person voted out at the merge, and I knew nothing about the split.
 * 2) Sometimes I let my emotions get the best of me.
 * 3) My physical game was very weak, and jurors like Bradley who give it importance could use that as a reason to not like my game.
 * 4) I wasn’t the best at separating my game from the one of my #1 ally.
 * 5) I gave the jurors the impression that I ‘woke up’ and voted for Logan and that then I went back on my word (that wasn’t the case but it’s what the jury perceived).

I think you’re trouble, and I love it. But trouble is trouble.

You’re very passionate, you wanna be heard and be the one that stabs before they’re stabbed (swap tribal), you’re a smooth talker and can make people like you, but you’re also crazy and unpredictable.

In a perfect world we work together and I can see the side of you that shares her craziness with me, we can both bitch about the people that are against us and have fun. But the way you acted at the swap tribal, going to Jerome and Bradley to vote Logan A. and then telling me we needed to break the Bradley/Jerome duo the next tribal made me realize you wanted to play a ‘swing vote in the middle’ game and that I couldn’t trust you.
