Heyy Tom, thanks for the nice words, this game was fun to play with you and the feeling is mutual of wanting to see each other in more orgs <3 

'''To get straight into the first question, when I first entered the merge I felt it would be in my best interest to stay under the radar and not attract too much attention, but still try to talk to people and feel out how they felt, which might be why you felt as if I didn’t want to work with you as I didn’t want to start anything that early. '''

'''In this game I only won immunity 3 times, one of them was quite early in the merge, the Edvin vote, I don’t think I needed that immunity as I was trusted by both sides at that point, the second time I won immunity was when Vilma was being voted out, I feel like I could have made a compelling case to keep myself safe over Vilma and again feel like I didn’t necessarily need the immunity but winning immunity is never bad. The only immunity I felt I truly needed was the F4 one as surviving without it would have been a very difficult task. I would say that if all I did was ‘win immunity constantly’ then you shouldn’t, but that isn’t all I did, I know that Conor feels as if he deserves credit for my flipping but I still am adamant in the fact that flipping was my own move, it makes sense as I knew, so did everyone, that me staying with Matt/Vilma would get me nowhere in this game, deciding to flip and change the game was something I did, I didn’t need anyone to tell me that’s what I needed to do. Apart from just winning immunities, I changed the course of the game to suit me better and to make sure I had a good game to present at FTC. '''

My aim with who I take to FTC was to take people that I felt I deserved to win '''against and should win against, but if I had to change the jurors I would change them to Ain and Edvin, Ain purely because if she had stayed, she wouldn’t have been able to invest her time into the game, for her own personal valid reasons, but wouldn’t have been able to compete properly like she usually does and does well. I would have chosen Edvin as throughout the game it was clear that people found it hard to talk and connect with him, I feel like people wouldn’t have voted for Edvin over me. '''

'''There’s an argument to be made that the order of the bootlist is the ranking of the game, if the aim of the game is to survive the longest then whoever did that the best has played the best game this season, but I will rank them on my own personal judgements. '''

'''Vilma- I think the fact that everyone just loves Vilma shows what a good game she’s played, in keeping social connections and not breaking them, maintaining her bonds with people while still playing a sound game and being in the majority for a lot of votes,  at FTC she would have been a very good contender. '''

'''Tom- Making it far in the game isn’t an easy feat for everyone, falling at the last hurdle doesn’t mean you’re a bad player. If everything you have said in the game about being the one who was actually in control and being the one who was controlling Conor is true then that makes your game even more impressive. '''

'''Elsa- Personally, I feel like I enjoyed talking to Elsa the most out of everyone, it’s easy to underestimate someone with a good social game but you never should, someone who can create bonds like Elsa does, quickly and effortlessly, is always going to be a threat in a game, such as Elsa sadly was for some. If Elsa had a chance to stay further in the game I feel we would be looking at a very different game with a very dominant Elsa playing.'''

'''Matt- I feel like Matt drew a lot of attention quite early in the merge, but honestly it’s hard not to in this game. But I don’t think he’s a bad player, just the fact that he was a big target early was bad and enough of a reason for everyone to target him. On the other hand, Matt showing himself to be a strong social and strategic player shows just how good he is at this game. '''

Edvin- I think Edvin’s game could be impressive considering that it seemed to be that he disliked basically everyone left and was annoyed the whole game, being able to not be a target can be seen as impressive in it’s own right.

'''Ain- Ain could have changed this game drastically if she decided to stay, Ain was in a very good position before she left and could have done some damage later on in the game, but obviously decided to drop out for personal reasons, which is never a bad thing. '''

'''Jordan- I’m sorry to put Jordan last, but I feel that he didn’t get a fair chance to show his full potential, being the first one to leave at merge while already being from the minority tribe, it seemed to me like Jordan had to deal with a difficult situation that most players wouldn’t be able to survive past. I would hope to see him in a different game and different situation so he could show truly what he’s capable of. '''

'''Wheww thanks for the questions Tomm, they were really interesting. '''
