A.1) I didn't know Ethan would cream us in challenges. I know now he has some rep for it in the community, but I'm not really part of this community - I knew 0 people in this game, outside of talking to Hunter months ago. I did make the move to get Elmo's idol out, which killed him the next round. For my powers, I set my game up well enough that I never had to use them for anything big. That was not luck. I did use them in the best ways I saw, and that was to protect my endgame plan. I was not worried about big threats because I knew they'd 100% of the time murder each other at 5/4 and leave me facing 2 of Karsten/Andrea/Su. Ethan may have won FIC, but I always felt I had a shot against him if worse comes to worse and it seems I was right. Out of the bigger threats, I think he has the weakest case, and out of the smaller threats, I think I have the strongest case. It's an interesting match up, and one I felt I had a shot at as a Plan B.

A.2)  I'd vote with Hunter at his elimination because then he would actually have to think about this final vote, LOL. I think I'd have handled Bradley's elimination better. I know he says we're cool, but I hadn't slept the night before and thought I said some unsavory things like the whole "whomp whomp" thing. That's not really me, but I was hyped to stay, I guess. Doesn't set a good tone for when he goes on the jury, though, but it also just feels like something an ass would do. And I'm a frog, not a donkey.

B) Lex, probably. I think he tried, but he just seemed to be the least social of the merge, and that's probably why he left, along in part with me telling people that he was just doing whatever vote Yousef told him to. I don't think I've mentioned that yet at this FTC. I wonder if you did the same thing, lol. But yeah, Lex just didn't have the whole winner's game or style going for him. I know you keep saying you were a super goat or something, but I would have voted for you EZ in a Lex/Su/Andrea FTC.

C) About you, I think the unpredictability. Ever since you turned on Sofianita I was asking myself, "Jesus Christ when is this guy going to turn on me next" LOL. It made it really hard for me to want to work closely with you because I didn't want to become the next Sofianita thinking we're tight and then I'm out of here. And because I tend to strategize a lot and think through a lot of different possibilities, I was always afraid of expressing these ideas to you and you being like "Wow Jake is pulling a Sofianita right now", y'know? I am glad we were able to come together again later on, and I wish we could have worked together further. Once it was going to be just me and you available to vote for, though, there really wasn't much either of us could do there but survive. It was POSSIBLE to have gotten Ethan to idol me, leaving Andrea open to vote for but because she was self-voting, it made her most likely to be voted out if there's a flip without idols (because you'd only need 3 votes to do it), and so it wouldn't make sense to idol me over her. At that point Ethan probably would have figured out I was trying to save you, so I didn't put much more thought into this plan.

Thanks for the questions and the early support, Su! I hope my answers were good enough!
