Thank you Layla. Alright, I would like to start with repeating what I said to Zak.

"Did I orchestrated your blindside?  No. I would like to apologize if I misworded what I said in my speech. Initially people were considering of getting rid of Ry. What I did was simply try my best to convince Layla and couple of others that there are bigger fish to fry. Mentioning your name as the prime example. Then when your name somehow appear shortly after I mentioned your name. I was all down for it, but I didn't try to get everyone to vote you out. I believe that I implanted the idea of voting you out to the people that orchestrated your blindside."

When you were mentioning that you wanted Ry gone, I was trying to say things like "should we switch votes" subtly hinting that I would rather go for someone else. It made people unsure about the vote.

Then I intentionally told you about what Zak wanted to do, and how you should definitely stop trusting him, which I believe eventually became a small part of many reasons you decide to switch to Zak. Once you said his name, I was all for it, and went all the other voters saying that I was definitely down for Zak even though they already knew the Zak was the vote. I was just aiming to make people feel confident on the vote and have them keep the vote on Zak instead of risking them switch away.

B. You made no big moves whatsoever, or you were just another vote for the people that DID orchestrate big moves.

I mean, here's my main issue with orchestrating moves, it make it obvious who's doing it, and most of the times, they would just simply get voted out afterward out of fear. Prime example, you. People don't get to the end orchestrating moves. They do it by giving ideas and encouraging others to do the moves for them. Which was exactly what I did the majority of the game.

'''Did I make absolutely no big moves? '''I would like to remind you that you were only around during the first 3 tribals. So it's hard to perceive players who stay under the radar while youre alive to be making few moves when you were gone. So I understand where you're coming from.

The votes I orchestrated myself mainly were the Nadine's vote and the Rhys's vote. I was the last person that was orchestrating moves. Any moves afterward is just simply people knowing who they should be voting for, and there wasn't a big discussion about making moves, like Jon's vote and Hesh's vote during Final 5 and 4. Any moves made before that, was made mostly by people who were voted out later on.

This is a game mainly about outlasting other people. It's not about making the biggest moves, Making loud and big moves right off the bat usually don't end up well for anybody.
