I don’t know when I ever said that I thought I had your jury vote all wrapped up? I don’t know where you are getting that from but I assume it could be from you misinterpreting the part in my speech when I said “placing you on jury could place someone there who might taint the perception of Jamie/Jared” It means exactly what it says, you could have been someone who would taint their image because you supposedly hated them doesn’t mean you still wouldn’t vote for one of them in the end.



I think that you have given the most accurate description of my game so far, in hindsight I was way too impulsive and totally yolo’d things way more than I should have.

-What was your biggest loss in this game and how did you recover from it?

My biggest loss in the game was losing Ash because this solidified our position in the minority. After the Sora vote our plan as an alliance was to either threaten rocks or try and flip someone like Claire to our side. But learning of Jamie’s vote stealer changed everything for me because I knew I was going to be the target, so I panicked and used my fast pass to save myself, I don’t think I would be sitting here had I not used it. Coming back from skipping, we were in the minority together, so to recover I tried to make it that Hunter would be voted out over one of us, and as well I tried to mend fences with Jamie and Jared in hope that they would spare me as a future ally they could use.

-Can you please explain your logic for voting me out? Did you ever consider it a big risk considering that Jamie would probably win the final immunity and possibly vote you out?

My logic for voting you Alexa was that you were most definitely going to cut me at the next round. Had I voted Jamie out, I was going into the F4 in a position where I had to completely rely on immunity to get myself to the end, I had final exams during this time and knew I wouldn’t be able to win immunity because I couldn't try really hard in immunity. You definitely would have beaten me in the challenge and I would have gone home. As well you were an enormous threat to win the game, had you made the end you definitely would have won the game, you were the cockroach that would not die, your story was very compelling so why would I want to sit next to you. Jamie and I had a bunch of in depth talks about taking each other to the end, and I believed that she would take me, yes I was going up against someone strong in challenges but it was someone who was promising to take me to the end, something you had not done yet. I obviously considered the risk of going to F4 with Jamie but thought that I had done a good enough job of painting Claire as a huge social threat that I wouldn’t need to worry too much if I lost immunity.



-What was your weakest portion of the game (Challenges, Social, Strategic) and how do you think you could've improved?

Well after these jury speeches it’s clear that my two weak points were strategic and challenges, but I do believe I still made some good strategic moves that out weigh my bad moves. So I will have to say that my weakest portion was challenges. Premerge I felt like I was always struggling in challenges, and in the merge I couldn’t win shit unless it was something specifically catered to me (e.g. the marketing challenge) Both times I went to rishiri I flopped at the challenge, challenges are something I will never really be exceptionally great at in these games.

-Find a song (from 2014 on only, modern pop would be preferred) that describe each of the jurors' games/personas and find one to describe yourself and your finalist's games, please justify why.

Ok I am starting this off by saying I am going to be terrible at this because I do not listen to modern pop and am struggling to come up with any songs but here is what I ended up putting together



Charley: Becky Hill Losing: I feel like this song fits charley just because of the lyric “I am through with losing” I feel like she lost so many premerge challenges and must have been so fed up with losing by the end of it. This song is about being done with defeat and that must be how Charley felt.

 Emile: Lady Gaga Poker face (I know this is from 08 but it perfectly fits Emile) I chose this because I always found that Emile had the best poker face, he was really hard to read, and as well we bonded over gambling so it fits him.



Sora: Kungs I Feel so bad: I feel so bad about blindsiding Sora so the title is fitting, also this is my favourite song to get drunk to and Sora and I bonded over getting drunk and lit so maybe he can get drunk to this song too.

Ash: I knew you were trouble Taylor Swift: I had to incorporate more than one Taylor Swift song in this because Alexa loves her, but this song seems very fitting to you. When I first met you I knew you would be trouble in this game, you were dangerous strategically and competent socially. This song is feisty and it reminds me of you in this game.

Hunter: Sia Cheap Thrills ft Sean Paul: I chose this one for Hunter because I feel like he got a ton of cheap thrills out being the joker of the cast. I think the lyrics “baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight I love cheap thrills” really relate to Hunter because I feel like in real life he isn’t a superficial guy who needs money to be happy, instead he has fun cracking jokes and getting a little cheap thrill out of it. Also he already has two hams so I don’t think he needs more money to buy more.

Chris: Fifth Harmony BO$$- Chris was a boss ass bitch in this game, fierce and aggressive strategically I feel like this song suits his in game persona really well.

Alexa: Bad Blood Taylor Swift: Yes the lyrics may not be as fitting but I can’t not choose a Taylor Swift song for you, anything else would feel just wrong. I feel like this is Taylors most bad ass song and you were such a bad ass in this game so it definitely suits you. As well you did get in quite a few fights and had bad blood with people!

Claire: Grace ft G-Eazy you don’t own me: For the whole game I thought Claire was just owned by people like Chris/Sora, but as time went on and I spoke to her more and more I saw that she did have individuality to her game and she was sassy as fuck and you couldn’t tell her what to do.

Jared: Britney Spears Make Me ft G-Eazy: I had to choose a Britney spears song for Jared because him and I always laughed about his wiki profile picture. This was her only recent song and I feel like this is a song Jared would really like and bop to.

Jamie: Major Lazer Lean on (feat Mo) Jamie was never really playing individually she always had people like Sora/Chris/Jared that carried her through the game and protected her. She always had someone to lean on and vent her excessive paranoia to, it’s not even like she had to work for two of these relationships as she came into this game already super tight with Chris and Sora.

Me: I chose Calvin Harris My way for myself: I chose this because I always did things my way, maybe they weren't the best way but at least they were my way. Unlike Jamie who was constantly protected or manipulated by Chris or Sora I did things my way. This song is pretty upbeat and I could see it being a potential banger that I could predrink to.
