1. Approaching Jessy and finding a way to ensure I was safe at final 10, and voting against TSN. Externally, it makes no difference. Internally, I open many doors to new relationships with the members from the majority by showing them that I'm willing to work with them. I think this really helped with developing the connections I needed to survive mid-merge.

2. So I had to read the new zealand page to know what it does... Since it's something you can play after the vote, I would have kept it as long as possible to save myself in case something goes terribly wrong. I would throw away my blossom (since I can't give it) at final 6 and use the reset idol instead. I'd have TSN & I vote for each other to keep all the girls vulnerable, and instead of being exiled I have a bit more of a hand in what happens at the vote.

This season reminds me of The Australian Outback. Kucha = Brains, Ogakor = Majority. Much like in Australia, there was a struggle at the first merge vote and Kucha/Brains lost. From there, the majority always made sure they had the numbers, and when they could afford a blindside on one of their own, that's exactly what they would do.
