'''which seems a lot like you are saying that you were "actively controlling" the votes, when from my perspective, saying that you were using me as the shield that you were unable to cut, just proves that you didn't have that clutch factor at the end game that you were planning on having, and you made a severe miscalculation while planning your end game. '''

I mean...not really? Here's my take on the endgame. In the Final 6 or so and on, it's very rare for anyone to be "controlling the votes" because a lot of votes become obvious, and everyone sort of has their list ranked on who they'd want out, then who else they'd want out if someone higher won immunity. I knew that if I said the right things to the right people over the rounds leading into the endgame and tried keeping the key people around, I would not only likely make FTC with a shot to win while being underestimated by the other finalists, but I would still likely be safe if that final bigger threat won immunity. It's never ideal when that happens, but it's not something I didn't expect. I did not control the endgame, but I had complete control over my game in the endgame. Do you see what I'm saying? Karsten was actually my shield in that scenario, but yes, you were #1 on I think all of our hit lists. It sucks that you win the FIC, but I doesn't seem to have guaranteed you the win or anything crazy like that. It was a mistake to not take you out way back when, and I've admitted that in 2 threads, but you keep talking like it's lost me the game and you already won phrasing things like "severe miscalculation". Maybe let the jury decide first, eh?

'''Also, Yes! A lot of the votes were obvious like you said! So I don't know why in other threads, kept bringing up the idea of me "needing a Plan B" and taking Elmo/Yousef further into the game. For both of our games, voting them was what we wanted to do, yet you were trying to paint my game in a negative light earlier because of that.'''

Well yeah, of course I've been bringing it up. With the way the votes went, I had my Plan B, you did not. You keep saying every vote besides Hunter went how you wanted. But if that's true, you left yourself with no Plan B for if you lost immunity, and you're happy about it. Sorry, but yeah I'm going to talk about that. Winning out is much less impressive when you had no actual plan to stay if you lost a challenge, more so when you had the time and options to set it up better. I wouldn't call it a "severe miscalculation" like some people, but it definitely is something missing from your game in regard to showing you thought about things outside of just the realm of  challenge or trying to act sad when people left.
