Firstly, thank you so much for your kind words, it means so much to me. and now onto your questions

'''1. If you knew about Jessica's plan, would you have done something to save me?'''

This hurts me, because I did know about it. She had told me after the Hanne elimination that she was done with Amelia and MJ, and she didn't want to be associated with them anymore in this game and offered to help me, and all we needed to do was make sure one of them didn't win immunity since she also told me they have an idol. (there seems to be a misconception that Jessica played the idol on me for a vote, it was a mutual thing, but i was the one who was able to convince her to play it on me) At that point I figured if one of us could get the win the challenge, we'd be able to make this happen and get to the end. But the second I saw MJ get that necklace I knew it was going to be one of us. With an immunity idol and a hidden idol around them, it had to be one of us three. I had assumed they would be going after me after I voted Amelia, but them thinking I was still a non-threat, they targeted you. The only possible scenario in which I could have seen us both being saved, would have been to do as I did before and get Jess to play the idol on me, and then you and I vote Jessica out. I admit you and me probably had a closer bond then me and Jess, but that would have been the ultimate backstab, and I have to say, I'm not sure what I would have done had the opprotunitiy presented itself to me. I'm sorry if this isn't a good answer, it's just it was 100% one of us three when one of those two won immunity.

'''2. Do you think it would have worked out if I gave up the immunity necklace when you told me to or do you think I would have been voted out then?'''

I 100% believe to this day had you given up immunity, MJ would have been voted out of this game. Now ask the other finalists, there obviously going to say it wouldn't have because it would go against their game, but I am beyond confident it was going to work. Jessica told me she would've definetly thrown votes at Erica, so I believe we could have gotten it to be a 3-2-2 successful vote out, despite how crazy it sounded.

'''3. What is your personal opinion on underdogs of this game? Who among the 17 other castaways played an underdog game?'''

No one should ever underestimate an underdog, no matter how fruitless it may seem. You always need to make sure the person whose back is against the wall doesn't have swinging room, because once they do, you better believe they'll swing. An underdog is someone who I believe should never be discredited for their games. People may say there an underdog for a reason, but when people are against the odds, crazy stuff can happen.

Among the other 17 players, I'd have to say Eoin in the pre merge was an underdog, Shannon was one after her alliance was wiped out on old Laconia, Jace Missy Erica and yourself are the other underdogs of this game who also played like one.

'''1. I believe a castaway who can analyze his competitors' gameplay is a real winner, so what do you think is the biggest mistake I made in this game for me to not be sitting there?'''

The biggest mistake you made for not getting here is, well as much as I'd like to think it's the move at the final seven, it wasn't. The biggest mistake you made was could probably have stemmed from the NuAttica tribe, in making sure Jace and Eoin were solid and not preparing to jump ship. I believe had you and Will been able to calm their fears and allow them to vote with you, you would be here along with the rest of our old original alliance.

'''2. I believe that a castaway who played with big moves is a real winner, so what do you think is the biggest move you made in this game?'''

I believe I have two equally big moves. The first of which is getting Jessica to give me her idol that night. Getting someone to give up safety in this game is a big thing, you and I both know this, so for the sake of her possibly giving up safety in order to vote one of ur closest allies inside and outside the game was huge. The other, as strange as this may sound, is all the attempts I made, to make a big move. Now I know what you're thinking, how is not being able to make a move, a big move? Well going against a mega alliance, emphasis on mega, in my books is not only ballsy, but big as well. Had they found out any of the times I attempted to break up their alliance, they could have swooped in and eliminated me instantly. But they didn't regardless if they knew or not, they kept someone in the game who was actively working against them since the final 8. Had just one of these instances gone in my favor, it would have been huge and game changing. Even in the final six when I approached said alliance to get rid of one of their own, that could have been the moment "Sora's plotting against us lets get rid of him", but it didn't happen and they did vote off one of their own numbers, and allowed you and me access into the final 5.

'''3. I believe that a castaway who can admit his flaws is a real winner, so what do you think is the biggest mistake you have made in this game?'''

The biggest mistake I made in this game, was probably not siding with Marty at the swing, and not calming Jace's nervous thoughts about Will before the swap. Had I done that and voted out Hanne Erica and MJ instead of Tata Shannon and Marty, while Missy goes instead of Will, I think the elders and Jace could have been the final 5, and I could've had a major strategic background on my resume. But I think if its something else, it would be pressing my "im irrelevant and worthless" strategy to the point where people didn't believe I'd be capable of making such moves I suggested.

'''4. I believe that a castaway who plays with humility is a real winner, so give me a reason why the other two castaways deserve the title more than you do.'''

if MJ and Amelia deserve this title more than I do it would be because they both had a shitty pre-made alliance and won more temple visits rewards and immunities then me.

<p style="line-height:22px;">.

<p style="line-height:22px;">jk i know what humility means lol

<p style="line-height:22px;">I think MJ deserves this more then I do because he was sooo scary to go up against in a lot of the challenges, his physical game was something people on old Attica respected and then once the merge hit no one was looking at him really as an immunity threat. That has to say something, along with that MJ had a pretty good strategic mindset as well. He was able to push past differences he had with people, and take out the ones who actually were hindering his game.

<p style="line-height:22px;">Amelia deserves to win because she made an awesome endgame for herself. She was able to put herself in these positions where she'd align w so many people, and then once she'd start cutting them, the others were too misted by her to think it would be them next. She was able to get people to put their faith in her, and use that to further herself in the game, not to mention she was able to locate the idol.

<p style="line-height:22px;">'''5. I believe that a castaway who made adversaries and allies is a real winner, so if you could pick one worthy ally and one worthy adversary among the members of the jury to sit next to you, who would those be and why?'''

<p style="line-height:22px;">Allys, it's hard to pick because I think so many of you were worthy allys, you Erica Jace and Jessica were all people I couldn't have made it here without and in my eyes your all worthy. But if I have to pick one, I can't pick you to avoid ass kissing lol, Jessica wasn't a very close ally of mine until the final 5, and between Erica and Jace, Jace was one of my original allies, so I'd pick him. He's someone in this game whose very underrated.

<p style="line-height:22px;">My main worthy adversaries were Amelia MJ Jessica and Hanne, but after things went down, its still only Amelia and MJ, but seeing as they're sitting next to me, I guess it would have to be Shannon? She was someone who I saw as a power player in the game at the old Laconia tribe, and I believe could have been a huge player had she made the merge. Plus she's the only person in this game to ever write my name down!
