can u give me ur like detailed breakdown and thoughts of every merge boot (esp f4)?

Sorry if this is in any way repeating my speech I didn’t even read it while writing this I tried to go more in depth!!

11th: JJ – At that point no one really knew if this game was gonna be played be original tribal lines or not or something else, so basically we thought that if it was then Huon was outnumbered, we thought Zack was a good person to flip and because he wanted out JJ for whatever reasons, I felt that was a good thing to run with just to secure even numbers IF it were to be played like that. Obviously it didn’t play out like that and I didn’t want it to be like that but for the first merge vote no one really knows what’s going to happen so I feel that’s why it turned out that way. Also I ran with it because I wanted to protect Ashlee since I knew I had a better bond with her than some other people in the game.

10th: Seamus – You guys really did make a good move because honestly, after I won immunity I was thinking should we actually get you Bryce out (the Ossa swaped tribe as a 5) because we heard that Abi somehow found out people were voting JJ, and described it as a small pocket of people (I forgot that moment LOL I love that phrase so much – episode title @ hosts??). And Seamus and I like worked it out it must have been you since you were super social and thought it would be to try work with her later and we were right cuz u did work with her that vote haha (Sorry if it wasn’t actually u who told her tho!!) But then Hedger wasn’t really feeling it was the right time and that Hayden could slip by to the end like he ended up doing, and ofc you Liffey guys were feeding us Hayden too, so I didn’t want to come off as too aggressive since it was only final 10. And of course I was excited to use oh im sobbing sobbing on my vote because why not have some fun haha. Something felt off all day like all the people left out were feeling it, and then it hit with the vote reveal I was like oh shit im in the minority again this happens to me so much in orgs but because it does I knew I could get out of it bcuz im used to playing from the minority more than from a power position, so I knew I had to try turn this negative into a positive somehow.

9th: Brian – Wow this round was a rollercoaster. After last vote I went to work instantly trying to make up with people, I trolled you at first Bryce LOL I just wanted to quote queen Jessica from KC but really I wasn’t mad with people and told you Zack and Ronald that its all good etc, congrats’d Hayden on surviving and went to Abi genuinely. Especially Ashlee we had the biggest voice message convo I have ever had, to get her back on my side and make sure I wouldn’t be the next to go. I initially pushed for a Liffey to go because I was like ok they are the people who have controlled both votes, Ashlee said Ronald would be the easiest, I agreed because I think Bryce was so socially connected and I argued that Ronald was cutthroat and willing to do anything to win because he blindsided the very person who literally told him where an idol was. So I spread that around to Abi and Hayden and hoped to get them on board. We all know it didn’t work LOL but at least it caused enough chaos and confusion to get Ronald to waste his idol, so a small success, but still a blow losing another ally.

8th: Zack – After last round me taking the lead of trying to organise a vote clearly didn’t work, I knew I had to take more of a step back and be lowkey for this one. Proving myself wanting to work with Abi/Hayden last round at least paid off since I targeted a Liffey person, so they knew I would be reliable to do it again. When Hedger lost the challenge he was instantly Liffeys target, I may have been willing to work with them but at that point I really didn’t want to go against the one person who I knew I could trust. People were thinking Zack over Ronald and I supported this because although me and Zack were good personally, we didn’t have much of a game relationship (I shall do more depth to this for Zacks Q), while with Ronald we were able to make up after I just tried to blindside him LOL, so I felt he would be more beneficial to me in the future, which he was.

7th: Hedger – This was when Ashlee spilled all the tea about Abi’s alliance with her and Hayden. She said Hedger was next on the chopping block and I did argue for Bryce to go first because you were both challenge threats, but Bryce also had a good social game that could win the jury vote, but Abi was apparently set in stone. Her and Hayden’s messages to me about voting Bryce also were pretty transparent and easy to tell it was lying so I knew they were more keen on Hedger. So then I didn’t give up on Hedger like Ashlee said in her speech I just let my allies go, I didn’t, I tried a 2nd option going to Bryce and Ronald saying hey Abi is playing a great game how would you feel about doing something now while we still have a majority with Hedger? They didn’t want to and I understand since Hedger was openly after Bryce, so at that point I said ok how about next round then, hopefully trying to secure trust with them, and I let you know Bryce I was voting you, Didn’t know you would play an idol tho WHEW. 6th: Bryce - Yes I admit I was mainly setting myself up for if I didn’t win immunity, because you were my ideal next target and possibly I was yours if I lost. I knew I was Abi’s so I went hard on immunity so I couldn’t give her an opportunity to vote me. Then me and Ashlee were the swings between Abi/Hayden and Bryce/Ronald. I definitely had the more leader role in this one because Ashlee wanted to blindside Abi now, I knew it was too early for me personally. So I pushed for you should go instead. I know I already talked abt this elsewhere but ya! It shows that my strategy was spot on because I was able to win the next chals and get Abi out next as planned.

5th: Abi – Basically already mentioned it above, was the obvious choice over Hayden as the leader of the alliance. Played a fantastic game and I would have voted her to win.

4th: Ronald – I was so goofy this round. Ok so basically when Ronald said he was going through a situation irl, I was sympathetic, and I know I can sometimes be an emotional player wbk so I didn’t want him to feel alone and said I have your back, cuz I truly did care about these players as people. I was initially thinking to vote Ashlee because unlike she said, I knew from final 8 onwards she was playing a good game. I didn’t underestimate her and me and Hedger even discussed that she needs to go at some point. I thought Ashlee would probably be a jury vote for me too (im terrible). Hayden claims he convinced me to flip – that’s wrong I decided on my own and I will explain why. After the deadline, I told Ronald I didn’t vote him but that it was hard not to after Hayden saying he organised Seamus’ blindside. Then Ronald basically admitted he pulled it together and I’m like damn... I did underestimate him thinking he wouldn’t get as many votes if people saw him as Bryce’s follower. But he did make his own moves and at that point I had absolutely no clue there would be a revote, I don’t think he did either, I thought it would go straight to a tiebreaker so we just openly discussed stuff. Then when I saw there was a revote, I felt like a complete bitch because I had said I would save him, but I had another chance to make the right move and although it was harsh I knew it was the smarter thing to do. But I didn’t just let Ashlee slip by, I knew she would also be tough to beat but still a more likely combination of people for me to have the best shot at winning. So yeah I know this probably makes me look stupid and I understand if it does but I hope you see where I’m coming from and that when you’re in the game its hard to know what the jury is thinking, but I ultimately think I did what’s best for my game.

Wow I literally just wrote as many words as an essay I needa write but HOPE THIS ANSWERS UR QS and that I proved to you I deserve to win!!! And we all know Margaery would dominate if she was still alive, TY BRYCE
