Of course I felt like I needed it. Not because I don't trust my allies, but only because this gave me breathing room to prove to my alliance that I'm loyal to them and will stick with them. I'm not worried about having a target because I won this challenge, we have so many amazing competitors in the F11 that any of us could win. I've never felt right throwing a challenge to not be looked at as a threat, I'll take safety in this game because you never know what's to come next. More surprised than I was if it would've been at Final 12. All-Stars, you're going to get a twist and not a traditional merge. I was surprised it wasn't at 10, thought! Good, but let's be real. No one came here to just make the merger, we all came here for the title of All-Star Champion. Merge is a great first goal or second goal to have, but now we're all getting closer to the end. Take it day by day, vote by vote and keep trying to advance in this game. Well, my good friend Doctor Sean suggested the alphabet strategy. But, I'm going to vote how I think will help myself, as well as my allies move further. I'm going to do what's best for us, and what can help keep me safe for votes ahead. I'm going to vote to prove my loyalty and prove to my allies I'm with them. I hope not. We're all veterans of this game where we've played long enough to realize once you get complacent, your torch gets snuffed.

 * How good does it feel to have made the merge?
