Hi Kat! Thank you for not being harsh, I was expecting to be roasted by you due to our relationship not being great so I am very thankful, and all the best in BAR!

I would say that definitely I could have been more social and like I fully admit that. Its not like I wasn't but I was definitely less social with people who weren't my direct allies like yourself, which like I knew I going to be pulled up on come FTC. I was acutely ware of it. And its not like I wasn't listening to what people who i wasn't directly aligned with said, because what you said to me on your way out about Andreas I fully listened too, and even if I brushed it off to other people I knew in my gut you were right about him being sketched out by me, cause tbh who wasn't this entire game. So yeah I could have been more social but i do think that its not like i outright ignored people (I am fully aware about my tendencies to leave people on read and i'm working on it) because I still always knew what was going on. I wasn't fully dependent on my allies for sure.

To answer your question, I think this game I was definitely Strategic based, with my physical and social game allowing for myself to be so strategic. My strategy was always "keep two bigger threats than you in because they will always go for each other" and that happened all the way to final 5, but then Jayme ruined my plans but I couldn't do anything about that unfortunately as I can't take away his immunity. I was always looking towards the next few rounds and trying to figure out what people were doing and using my social game to figure out who was close or not with each other, case in point realising that Torsa/Jayme/Su where closer than they were letting on and knowing i could have been easily a target if I had let them go further because with Brian or Andre gone I knew i went up the threat rankings. I took a lot of heat every time I made a move and still managed to come away generally unscathed, even if people were plotting behind my back, they could never act on it because my strategic game mean I was in the power position, not them. My phsyical game helped, as i knew I could been confident in it that I had a good shot to win FIC and thus i felt ok with taking Brian to the end as I felt like in a pinch I could beat him. Taking him out at 5 I felt was just a death sentence for myself so taking Torsa out (as much as it killed me to do so) and winning FIC with my physical game definitely allowed me to control the late game, but also take bigger risks. I won the most individual immunities this season with 3 My social game did also mean that many people did trust me with information and allowed me to do what i wanted with that, meaning I always had power. When Jayme and Brian started to target each other I was always being told what they were thinking because both sides needed me to enact whatever plan they had, which my strategic plan by taking out other people who could be used by them to get each other out came into plan to show why and how I stayed in power most of the game. I truly do think my strategy is what got me here (surprisingly my org experiences in the past have actually taught me something). Did i always get what I wanted? no but i definitely made the best of any situation for myself to get myself further, as i had a good idea on who my competition was and who was aligned with who, helped by my social game. I even voted out my own partner to ensure I had multiple people's trust which worked in my favour as I was able to get an exile ticket and come early merge had everyone telling me what they were thinking, putting myself squarely in the middle and knowing what people were thinking about doing. So yeah definitely strategic (and i know i probably have sounded like a gamebot lol) but I couldn't have been so strategic without my social game or my faith in my physical game and that helped myself being in power for the large majority of the game and having the faith in myself i could pull moves and somewhat get away with it, no matter how much heat i received from people.

Thank you and again good luck in BAR!
