Hey Cristine, my apologies about the slow response here :).

Onto your question, do I think I could have got here if at some point I didn't win immunity. I definitely believe there are actions I could have taken. I'll run this through week by week.

Final11 (skip a tribal) I would have been safe this round I'm very certain. Before I used the skip a tribal my name to my knowledge wasn't being considered, and even if it was the vatanchus still find that idol last minute at Candace a and since the opposition told us what they were doing I'd just get idol'd. As I said in my opening statements I used my advantage here just to avoid having a target on my back for having an advantage, and because I didn't want to show loyalties just yet. I'd also like to say that 3 others people had the opertunity to get this item, and that in my opinion the double light pearl advantage is much more lucky to get as it sways votes away from you every round, so having this advantage shouldn't discredit what I did at all. F9: This round I'm also pretty sure I'm safe without immunity. Felix continues to rampage, Anna and Claire aren't willing to let the vote go on me because I am in with both of them. I'm very well protected. F6: ok, now here's where it gets fun because for this I have to start all the way back at f7. Basically if I was less confident in my challenge prowess, at final 7 I would have pushed waaaay harder for John to stay. This is because I know my strengths, and I know I could win out once John was gone because for a little Christine feels safish and doesn't go hardcore on the challenges, and I simply know from having played with everyone else the rest of the season if I really try I can beat them. If I didn't have the strength of knowing I could work super hard at challenges and come out on top in them, I believe I could have convinced Claire to vote with the vatanchus at final 7. At final 7 if Claire votes with us both Claire and Joanna are exposed as being traitors and are considered possible votes at 6. Assuming all votes stay the same though at 7 and We are going soley off of what did happen. At f6, as I said to John, I would have just taken a small step back from the line of fire and let the Claire/Marie fight progress. As you are trying to get Claire as a number for the future so you aren't Marie's goat, and Claire refuses at this point to let the vote be on me, the vote stays the same with Michael going home. Final5: In this round if I don't win immunity, the fight has still started between Marie and Christine, I push to Christine that at final 4 she will be the biggest target should she lose immunity thus giving her a only 1/4 shot in getting to the end, whereas if I stay, she has a 3/4 chance since if I lose then I'm going home. I also throw in a few little fibs about things I've heard Marie say about wanting Christine gone. If all works out Marie would go home as I vote with Christine and Claire. (This is assuming I won all the other comps, if I hadn't I think I'd be considered even less of a threat and be safer). F4: At final 4 I believe it would have been a tie vote as Claire has said its not in her to vote out an ally even if it makes all the strategic sense in the world. Claire and I vote either Joanna or Marie, they vote me, I believe I can beat Marie or Joanna in most firemaking challenges.

Sorry if this sounds like my answer to John all over again, I tried my best to interpret the question slightly differently in that I only lose one immunity instead of all of them. I hope this shows that I was always on my feat, but also that a lot of my strategy was simply playing to my strengths since I know I can be a challenge dominator. I really enjoyed playing with you, have a great week until the reunion haha.
