Hey John! :)

 '''Can you explain to me the dynamics of your alliance with Michael and Christine? Who was on the top? Who was on the bottom? Who was making the decisions? '''

There wasn't any top or bottom, because we were planning to go to the final 3 together and there was no blindside planned. You could think that Christine was on the bottom because she flipped but I think she did it because her bond with Claire was really strong. As to who was making the decisions, we were all making them. Each had an idea and we would discuss it until we would decide on a common target. Christine and Claire were definitely closer than I thought, but each time Michael or I would target Claire, Christine would immediately dismiss it and push the target on another person's back, and it worked! So, I probably should have noticed that and looked more into it to prevent the flip to happen.

' What was your best  individual '' move, one that you made for your own sake and not for the sake of your alliance? '''

My best individual move was to target Anna/Claire and eventually getting rid of Anna. I knew that they had a deal with Felix, so logically they wanted to go to the end with him and not with me, they were not loyal to me anymore so they needed to go. Originally, Christine/Michael wanted to get rid of Linus but I convinced them to target Claire because she had the light pearls. If I would've let Anna stay in the game and boot Linus, the two of them would have went with John/Joanna at the final 7 to get rid of me. Thanks to the bond you and I had, you voted with us. I don't know if you consider that an individual move, but you need numbers to blindside someone.
