 * '''Hi Andrei. In the Pre-Merge portion of the game I knew you were very shady and slick and just because of that I couldn't really trust you like how I trusted Sam and Luke. I never knew what was really going on from your standpoint but I want to ask you did you ever tell any of the other villains (Uli, etc) about what was going on in our tribe? I think it was fairly obvious about the alliance of me, Sam, Luke Topher and Natalie but I want to know if you ever told any of the other villains about it.

Hey Jessy! You are right: I am shady as fuck, and I am guarded and untrusting. We weren't really in each other's end-game plans, so maybe it was more convenient for the both of us if we did not trust each other.

To answer your question, I had to go back and read old conversations because I made a conscious effort not to get caught talking actual strategy to the Villains, because I was paranoid about it biting me in the ass.

Here's what I found : I did not reveal anything about the dynamics of our tribe to Uli. I did drop the names of the majority to Adam after the Wesley boot.

If you care about how that happened, there it is: Adam talked to me after the Wesley boot, he acted confused, so I explained to him that Luke felt guilt-tripped into voting for Wesley (apparently it was an act, but I mean, being too believable when you're playing the role of a weakbitch.org is never a good look, and it kinda speaks volumes that no one ever really questioned if it was genuine or not lol). We speculated about why "the majority" were voting together; there were talks about a girls alliance, a modern seasons alliance+Luke, which was a rumour Eddie randomly told me about, and that's when I specifically mentioned you/Sam/Natalie/Topher/Luke as a voting bloc, so all in all I told him some truths, told him some BS and let him deal with that. He probably knew all this stuff, but yes, I did talk about that with him at some point. I can give you the receipts of that conversation if you want.


 * Tell us how big our gameplay changed in comparison to our previous season and if it was a good change or a bad change.

Uh frankly gurl I don't follow seasons that I'm not playing in that much. I half-assedly root for the people with a girl mangatar and the gay guys if I happen to hear that someone is gay, and that's as far as my involvement goes. I've been on record saying that viewers have no idea what's going on in ORGs and should refrain from emitting judgements, so that question puts me in a weird spot.

I don't feel qualified to give you an accurate analysis of anyone's gameplay throughout the seasons they played, except MAYBE Adam's, Uli's and Luke's, because I have played with them and seen them evolve to an extent, but even then when I read the confessionals of png and All Stars, all I cared about was if people were trying to BS me or how they felt about me at the time, so I won't even pretend I know everything that they did.

What I can tell you from what I've learnt by watching Survivor for 3 years and discussing it extensively is this: if you already have a grasp on the game, you get better every time you play. That's why Boston Rob won on his fourth try and Rupert didn't. Then the other factor that comes into play is how invested you are; that's why people say Colby sucked in HvV, he just didn't care as much. When it comes to ORGs, you also have to factor in how much time people had to dedicate to the games you're comparing.

That's my overall line of thinking about the matter. I can't give you a specific answer like you asked for, so I'm giving you an answer I can stand by. I think it's more respectful to show my interest in your question by telling it to you like it is than by wasting your time talking about stuff I don't know anything about. I hope you appreciate my honesty and are satisfied with my reasoning. Thank you for your questions :)
