'''Gerard, I feel that you played a very well balanced game, you competed in challenges, you made bonds with several people that helped you make it far, and you played the strategic part of this game well. So my first question is, which of these things do you feel played the largest part in getting you here. My second question is, do you feel that luck played a part in how you got here? Give some examples why or why not. '''

- Well, first of all, I think my social game was the biggest factor. I was obviously close to you, Max, Chris, Brendan, Summer and eventually both Duy. I connected with the people I had to, but still had somewhat of a decent relationship with people who I wasn't necessarily aligned with. As for the second question, I'll be honest, yes, luck did play a part. But luck is always a factor in this game. What would have happened had there not been a mutiny? What if Maxwell was loaned during that tie vote? Well, those were all lucky occurrences, but they still happened. Had they not happened, would I still be here? Who knows. But the fact of the matter is remains that they did happen, and while they were beneficial to me for the most part, I never took them for granted. I got lucky, but I still worked as hard as I could to make it to the end.
