'''Hello, Drew! How are you doing? '''

I'm doing excellent Noah. Very excited to be sitting here. It's something I've worked very hard to get the chance to do! Thank you so much for all the kind words about my gameplay, and just the way we interacted in general. I was always being genuine with you whenever we discussed things that are non-game related. You bring up a great point, in that some of the most authentic times are the "small talk" scenarios during challenges or in the down time of the game. I always appreciated those with you man, so thanks for that.

'''First off, what was up with you and the Survivor quiz challenge?! '''

Well fortunately for me, this one is easy to answer. We had already obtained the idol half at that point, and the plan was being set into motion to idol out Nokomis (see: my answer about Nokomis' elimination)  Part of that plan was getting everyone that wasn't me, Jerby, or Jon... to flip on me. I knew that by throwing challenges and in general being shorter/less gracious with people than I usually was would get the gears turning in their head about me. So the short answer to your question Noah, is that I did it to get the exact reaction out of you that I got. I do feel it was unfortunate that I had to sacrifice a bit of people's perceptions of me, in terms of my challenge prestige.. but honestly it was worth it to make that fun tribal scenario occur.

'''Next, Jerby's allegiance to you. You were practically fed idols by him!'''

Again, this is something that was highly orchestrated and fully planned ahead of time. Jerby and I were always working together on that 2nd idol half, because I had been holding the first half for a majority of the game. We thought we had to use it before the in game "day" was over (there was some confusion about the time constraints on when the idol had to be played) so we put this whole plan together. It was as much my idol half as it was Jerbys. As for the second idol play.. well that was just for fun lol. It was the last tribal, Jerby already had immunity.. and we figured why the hell not? Obviously it was irrelevant either way.

As for the other aspects of this allegiance... what is there to say? I've said and will say again that I feel I was in the driver's seat of our alliance at all times.. and am responsible for a majority of the "big" moves in this game. I won't sit here and take anything away from Jerby's strategy, as it obviously worked for him. Do I think it was a strategy that deserves to win a game? No. But then again, that's not a decision for me to make.

Thanks for your questions Noah. Hopefully these responses will answer them sufficiently.
