 Gerda once again proves to be unaware of how the game truly played. If she chose to underestimate or discount me pre-merge then that’s her mistake and not mine. knew what everyone was up, who was allied with who and who was voting for who. Gerda only focused on her alliance. It shows she didn't have a clue as to what was happening  pre-merge. She only knew what people told her. I didn’t want to be seen as a threat. Some people play big and showy, I decided for at least the early stage of the game I was going to play hard but hidden. I kept my cards close to my chest; I had secret alliances nobody knew about. I set others up as the figure head but was still keeping in control of the votes. On Mpilo after the switch I was at the centre of the tribe but I knew people regarded Hunter as a threat and big player so I dictated my moves through him. I decided who would go and then I’d tell him to tell Henry and Jhet. When people asked me how I was voting I’d say ‘oh Hunter says to vote for this person’. People saw me as a non-threat because that’s exactly how I presented myself. I worked just as hard as anyone pre-merge and Gerda is being ignorant and self-absorbed to say otherwise.

She doesn't even understand events that she was involved in. No one knew I had the idol. It was solely my decision to play it in order to idol out Adam. No one advised me on that. And at final four, Gerda didn't have a clue what was happening. She thought Taylor would vote with her but I used my strong social relationship I had built with him and the trust he had for me to get him to vote Lloyd. I did the exact same thing with Lloyd, getting him to vote Taylor. I controlled the final four vote; I decided who went home.
