I'm screaming I love when you use my last name and no one elses.

1. Label everyone on jury as a hero or a villain and explain why?

CJ- Villain

In my own experience with CJ is that he was willing to lie to look better and he was making deals at the beginning of the game. Kind of like a Rob/Amber with him and Nadine kind of deal.

ZAK- Hero

HE WAS ALWAYS BEING TARGETED. He never got a break. You know damn well he would be rooted for on a T.V show.

LAYLA- Villain

Honey she came to merge guns blazing. Making alliances she knew werne't gonna last (like with me). She's the villain you don't see coming.

WILLOW- Hero

You were caught in the crossfire of other peoples villain game (see Hesh/Conor). And you're always sweet. I'm comparing all of these from a T.V perspective and you were the most honest of our group which is a hero quality.

CONOR- Villain

All the rumours of all the alliances you and Hesh were in is a quality of a villain. Your personality screams hero but you're like a villain people think are a hero until they get voted out.

NADINE- Hero

I couldn't find a bad bone in her body. We didn't talk much but it was sweet and genuine. That and her being the underdog of the season screams hero. She was targeted so much.

RHYS- Hero

My conversations with him extended past game. Kind of like Brenda/Dawn. He was here to play the game but also help me find my teeth.

JON- Hero

Jon wasn't here to lie, at least not to me. He had Rhys with him. At a certain point he became in the minority, and he was rooted for. Kind of like Kelley Wentworth. You want her to get to the end but she couldn't,

HESH- Villain

Same thing with Conor, he was part of a bunch of alliances. His game play was a lot more out there, a lil bit aggressive at times which tbh I relate to.

2. Rank everyone on jury based on their gameplay and explain why?

1. Conor

Always active in discussions. Willing to do ANYTHING to get the job done. He was so dedicated to this game and it shows in his performance.

2. Rhys

He worked with someone he voted for (Nadine) which shows a strategic side, he was extremly social with me, he won individual immunity. He had a lot going on for him.

3. Jon

A lot similar to Rhys. He was amazing at challenges too. He had similar strategic game. He never lied to me, I don't know if he lied much to others. But he could've won the whole game.

4. Hesh

He made it far for being an underdog like me. Considering he could've been here instead of me just by a tiebreaker says a lot.

5. Zak

He was targeted so fucking much and he survived a lot of bullshit. It was just unfortune the outcast twist kind of screwed him over. It could've easily screwed me over if Steffen/Alice came back. So Joanna's revenge plan is a big reason why he's there. But he's a survivor.

6. Willow

Same with Zak but you were targetted a lot less. Outcast screwed ya. But you and I had genuine talks and I know you always have a good social game.

7. Layla

She had big lies early on which kind of made her untrustworthy after they were exposed. She played great until being exposed.

8. CJ

I can only go off my own experiences. He didn't make it far, he was an early target at merge. His pre-merge game was a lot better than his merge.

9. Nadine

Even she admitted to being inactive at the beginning because of school and computer problems. It's a big reason why she was always targeted, and once her #1 ally was gone people weren't scared of her and wanted to work with her.

''I don't think anyone here played a TERRIBLE game. I think the merge was full of people who wanted to play. Most of the terrible and inactiive people left pre-merge.''

3. Compare everyone on jury to a survivor player and explain why?

CJ- Eliza Orlins. He got to merge with people wanting him out first, much like her. The cards he was given were shitty and there wasn't a lot he could do, much like Eliza.

ZAK- Parvati circa HvV. Parvati was targeted SO much pre-merge and still made merge. Had HvV had an outcasts twist too I don't think she would've made finals. I feel like y'all have a similar personality tbh.

LAYLA- Kimmi circa Cambodia. She was willing to lie and do anything to win, she made it obvious she wanted to split the votes so she could blindside Jeremey. In my own experience with her she made it obvious she was lying to my face and wanted me out. They both left the same tribal. I feel like Kimmi got a shit edit since everything was always going on but she played a good game from when they showed her.

WILLOW- Courtney Yates. Smol sweet girl. My whole view on you is a lil bias because I love you inside and outside this game. But Courtney is a shit talker so I can't wait until your confessionals about me xoxo.

CONOR- Ciera Eastin. I feel like they have a similar physical game and rely on the more important aspects of the game like social and strategic. They both made it far in their original season. I feel like they both played every angle they could. Maybe he would vote out his mom????? Lmk

NADINE- Michele Fitzgerald. Both strong in competitions. This season I felt Nadine was more about close connections with certain people and that's kind of how Michele played.

RHYS- Eddie Fox. He had his tight allies with them all game. He's nice and tbh I love Eddie and I love Rhys. They both weren't on the same side on the very first tribal of merge but still made it. He's a cool kid to me.

JON- Kelley Wentworth circa Cambodia. I mentioned it earlier but I believe he had the jury rooting for him, and fans too. He put himself in a position to get far (like Kelley) but couldn't just get to the end. (They also both found two idols)

HESH- Brett Clouser. Uber bro, was in the minority but still made it to the final 4 and almost won the game.

4. Sort everyone on jury into a Harry Potter house?

I don't watch or read Harry Potter!!! I only watched the first 7 movies when they were in theatres. All I know is Slytherin is bad and Gryffindor is good, I think. Googling it looks like Hufflepuff means Loyal/Honest, Ravenclaw is Smart/Wise. And it looks like Slytherin is ambition and Gryffindor is courage/determination. So that's what I'm going off of!

CJ - Syltherin

ZAK - Gryffindor

LAYLA - Syltherin

WILLOW - Ravenclaw

CONOR - Gryffindor

NADINE - Ravenclaw

RHYS - Hufflepuff

JON - Hufflepuff

HESH - Ravenclaw

5. What was a minor move that helped your game?

''I've talked about a lot of other minor moves but one I haven't yet mentioned is that I didn't take the easy way out at the end game. At F7 I knew Joanna was voting for me, but I still took the opportunity to vote for Nadine. I made up with Joanna knowing she wanted me out of this game. Hesh wanted to vote her out both at F7 and F6. At F6 it would've been easier to vote out Joanna and hope the guys mis-play the idol like they did anyway. Yeah I was safe, but I worked hard to have options in that immunity, but if I lost an ally like Morgan/Hesh at that point due to an idol, I could've been seriously screwed moving forward. And at F5 I knew I was a target going into F4 and could've tried to save Jon so he could've been the target at F4 and not me, but I still risked it because I wanted the best chance to win, not get 2nd or 3rd.''

6. What was your biggest mistake in the game?

''Well right now I feel like it's my opening speech. I thought people would appreciate a smaller, simpler speech so that I could talk to them more easily about the game but I'm really get reamed for it huh! But in the actual game, I'd say not telling Zak close to deadline to play an idol. I genuinely believed he didn't have one. Although I made the outcome work better for me, I could've had you and Zak longer in this game which would've made me happier and more sane.''

7. What’s been your favorite and least favorite part of this game?

''Pre-Merge! It was much easier back then. People were more genuine. I had a lot more control of the game back then. I got to meet people for the first time and yeah the game was still a foot but they were less stressful, happier days! My least favourite was F4. Morgan came to me telling me I was leaving, I cried, I was upset IRL. I was honestly crushed.''

8. And if the f2 was Joanna and Morgan who would you vote for?

''I've been asked this in Jon's questions but I want to mention something a lil different. I had offered Joanna my jury vote if she let me do that tiebreaker and I lost (whether or not that was a driving force for her to let me do it, doesn't matter to me). And If I lost I was gonna 100% vote for her and keep my word. I think Joanna and Morgan both played different games with success. But if I went out in a more common, different situation I would probably vote for Morgan because pre-merge is a really important aspect of this game, and although I think he lacked in that department, Joanna skipped pre-merge all together. Some intense moments for me came from pre-merge tribals.''

''I would just like to say I hope I didn't offend anyone. I only have my perspective to look at and maybe once I see confessionals my views will change. Willow's ranking and comparing questions were honestly hard to answer. I just want to be honest. I gave a lot of thought to every answer so if anyone wants more reasoning or better reasoning from me just LMK!''

TYSM Willow I love you so much,
