I'll try to give succinct answers here:




 * My motive behind getting you out was because you were a threat to my game. Your friendship with Eddie was too threatening and I needed you to go in order to ensure his loyalty to me. I knew that if you were no longer in the game then I would be able to keep Eddie on my side.


 * I played a laid back game because I knew if I put myself out there I could be recognized as a threat. I think I did a fairly good job of deflecting the vote but had I been more aggressive, I would have been a target more often than not.


 * For me, it felt like the smart choice to play a more quiet game. I don't think I would be in the final 3 if I was overly aggressive. I weighed out the pros and cons of playing a quiet game vs. being a very vocal and openly strategic player. Ultimately, the pros of staying on the down low outweighed the pros of playing a very vocal and aggressive game.

okay thank you :)
 * I think the defining move for my game was when I formed a friendship/alliance with Trace and Eddie. That opened a lot of doors for me in the game and I knew that the personal bonds I had created with them would ensure that we all had a mutual trust. While this may not be everyone's definition of a big move, it was the foundation of what I was able to accomplish because I wouldn't have been able to make any moves had I not formed that bond with them.
