There were a lot of moves you made in this game that were quite questionable almost game breaking a few votes that come to mind are Sora Alexa and Emile



This is actually very frustrating to me that these are viewed as game breaking moves, because I know for a fact I wouldn't win a jury vote against any of those people and as well I wouldn't be sitting here if I didn't make those moves. Alexa literally voted against me at final 6 without so much as saying a word what would stop her from doing it again? When I got my tribal skipper I only told two people, Sora and Emile yet somehow this information was leaked which shouldn't have happened if they were supposedly loyal to me.



But that's obviously not enough so let me detail why I took these people out



Emile: Emile and I were tight and pretty good buds in the premerge, but the swaps separated us for such a long time many things could have changed in that time. Once we merged I was totally on board with working with him, but as time passed I found Emile hard to read and assumed he was much tighter with both you and Chris. These suspicions were only confirmed when I went to Emile during his vote out and I told him the things Ash was telling me about how Chris was targeting myself and Sora, and to me it seemed like Emile was playing dumb. I kind of was trying to hint at making a move or something but then immediately I get a message from Sora "stop doing whatever you're doing with Emile right now! He's spilling it all to Claire and Chris" At that moment I knew I couldn't trust information with Emile anymore. At Emiles vote out it was never my first intention to vote him out, I was forced into doing so because of circumstance. The brainless goats alliance tried to spare him by voting Jamie but Hunter had already voted. Ash suggested we go to Emile and get him to vote Jamie but it was very close to the vote and what if he had already voted? As well how could I trust him not to spill the info to Chris after he had just done so that day? If Chris knew he definitely would have tipped Jamie off (everyone thought she had an idol then) and it could have been a cluster fuck vote. Because of this I decided to vote Emile and show my loyalty to Sora.



Sora: Sora was my best friend in this game, probably even the org tbh. But I wasn't going to let that influence my game. It got to the point where I was seen as nothing more than his bitch. Jamie and Jared both stopped talking game to me in fear that I would run back to Sora. You yourself Claire would not talk game to me because you feared I would run back to Sora. It got to the point where I was literally having conversations with people through Sora, I don't see how that's beneficial to me at all?? I am not complacent with just sitting around like that. Sora was running this game and no one was doing anything about it. He had everyone under his control and even convinced Jamie to vote against her best friend Chris (which was an awful move for her) and that type of influence is scary. Sora told me I was the only one he would tell about his idol, which I found out was not true as he told other people about it as well, so how could I know if I was his true #1? I don't know how voting Sora out can be seen as a bad move? With him gone people suddenly trusted me with information again, the kingpin of the game was gone and I had a solid 4 person alliance going into the final 8. That alliance was going to threaten rocks but that plan had to be changed after I found out Jamie had a vote stealer so I used my advantage to stay safe. Sora had multiple #1 allies in this game and I had no way of knowing for sure if I was his true number 1. He was running this game and needed to go so I could branch out.

Alexa: This was a hard vote for me because I was the swing vote. I went from wanting Alexa gone, to wanting Jamie gone and then back to wanting Alexa gone. An influence on this vote was the fact that I didn't get to speak to you about the vote for 12 hours claire. I woke up to learn that you had spilled the plan to Jamie and then thrown me under the bus, we never got the chance to speak about this so I had no clue what you were actually doing at this vote. I could vote Jamie with Alexa but what if you had voted Alexa and then Jamie knows I wasn't faithful to our F3, then I am totally fucked going into the F4. As well if I voted out Jamie at this vote I would have been going into the F4 in a position in which I would solely have to rely on immunity to get myself to the F3. I don't believe that you and Alexa would have taken me to the end. I wasn't confident in my immunity skills for the FIC because I was focusing on final exams, so I wasn't going to put myself into a position in which I felt like I needed immunity? Plus Alexa betrayed my trust the last vote by writing my name down without so much as a peep AND arguably would have done EXTREMELY well in a jury vote, she had such a great story and played a phenomenal game, I don't know if I could have beaten her. Whereas I felt Jamie had a ton of flaws to her game and plus she was promising to take me to the F3.
