Hi Noah,

You're truly a gentleman and a nice person... I wouldn't expect anything less from a wrestling fan. :D

I want to start of by clarifying some things. Drew and I already had an alliance from Day 2 so that wasn't a factor as to why our conversations dwindled during the merge.

I aligned myself with Drew because we had the same strategic ideas right from the get go. On Day 2, he wasn't a threat back then. He said it himself that he played a very small role to the American Alliance. That's why we decided to put our alliance in a power position by taking out Matthew. I would like to add that that big move wouldn't be possible if I didn't threw the challenge which ended with me and Matthew going to tribal.

I admit that at one point, I was contemplating if I should vote out Drew because he took the "Threat Throne" from Matthew when Matthew was voted out. I finally decided not to because he continuously showed his loyalty to me. He trusted me so much that's why he became such a slacker during individual immunity challenges. For example, during the Boggle challenge, I told him that I already found 800+ words and he just gave up saying that he couldn't beat that. He's giving me so much trust that he wasn't even concerned that I win immunity instead of him. And going back to one of your tribal answers Noah, didn't u say that "deserving" equates to someone who doesn't give up?

I gave Drew the idols because they acted like "treats" to make sure that he doesn't turn on me. At both instances when we played the hidden immunity idols, I won individual immunity so I didn't need it. Plus, we know that Jon is on our side no matter what (so we have the numbers) and we both had advantages from the auction. Those idols were pretty much useless at that point so might as well give it to Drew so he'll even be more loyal to me.. Which worked, that's why he didn't flip and I'm sitting here in the Final 3.
