 First off before I answer The hosts were completely fair all game and NO rigging took place. I will admit I don’t think the twist was 100% fair (just like you said), but I will concede that the mistake wasn’t meant to intentionally help Tatianna.

 1. At what point in the game did you decide to make yourself out to be a goat?

 While I personally feel that I wasn’t a goat this game, I decided to try and make self look like one to the entire cast after Wouter was evicted. I knew that becoming a ghost for a couple of days had hurt my status as a threat, and I wanted it to stay that way. If I went back to making noticeable moves, that target would re-appear and I would be voted out at the final 7.

 2. What was your strategic plan and mindset at the final 7

 Well to be honest in the final 7 tribal I wanted Rhiannon out, but you and brandon had already voted for Johnny, so I decided to think about the endgame scenario. What would happen if I made it to the end with Tatianna, so I threw my vote towards her. The best part was she didn’t even know that it was me who voted for her. I won’t take credit for moves I didn’t make, getting Tatianna to flip on Rhiannon was all on you and Brandon, I just put all my faith in you two for that day and you two really proved your loyalty for me, however I was afraid that Brandon would take you over me if he needed to make that choice, so I had to vote him out the next day. At final 4 we had the votes to send Tatianna home, and to many extents we voted her out, but due to that power she was able to stay. Like I said man, I was always loyal to you, and my vote was decided hours before I won that challenge. You, me, and Tatiana were heading to the final 3. Then came the final immunity.

 3. Why didn’t you try harder in the final immunity challenge? Was it your intention to have Tatianna take you over myself because it’s an easier win?

 No and I’m honestly embarrassed to say that I got my ass handed to me by both of you. Due to college classes I knew that winning the endurance part would be impossible. My classes were not in lecture halls so the teacher would have saw me playing. As for the cookie challenge I couldn’t leave my laptop running over night, and I couldn’t get the hang of the bunny challenge if my life depended on it. I’m sorry man, I really wanted to do good in the trials, but aside from the cookie challenge, the trials were a complete disaster for me.

 4. I want to see how well you know each member of the jury. Pretend you are taking each juror out on his or her dream date. Write a paragraph detailing exactly where and what you guys would do together for that date and whether or not they get a kiss at the end.

 OMG YESSSS.

 Wouter: You and me man are going to an upscale bar on the beach, where we can get drunk together, reminisce about good times, and dance with the other ladies. Who says our relationship can’t be open. Let’s party like it's the summer! He would get a bro hug and a drunken kiss on the cheek.

 Alietta: I would take you to a nice restaurant. I would wear my nice blue button down to match my eyes and would consistently awkwardly smile asking myself if I am seriously on a date with a princess like you. We would make nice conversation and the date would go on without a hitch. We would kiss in the end if you wanted to do.

 Johnny: You are a little too young for me. Idk 19 and 16 wouldn’t mix well for me. I would take you to your first rave, give you your first beer, and pay for a stripper to give you a lap dance.

 Rhiannon: Us dating would be like McCraye and Amanda from big brother. you would intimidate me and I would gladly like that. Because of that I would take you to a crappy hotel in Las Vegas, and if you wanted me too, I would spend extra money ordering some champagne to the hotel room. (winks).

 Brandon: We would go to a baseball game and enjoy the day, then we would go for a nice walk through Central park. We would talk about current events and would connect. Then a better looking guy would get your attention by the name of Brett, and I would go School Days on you.

 Thomas: We would go to a nice restaurant, start fighting, and be asked to leave the restaurant.

 Brett: We would go to a frat party at my college. We would have fun with the ladies, get drunk, and one of us would wind up babysitting the other person, while the other person brags to the dude taking care of him that he got with the hottest girl at the party.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Wouter: I think Wouter wanted to go after the main power house too fast, it would have been better for him to go for a lesser threat right away. But none the less, I think he deserves to return.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Alietta: Convincing me that you had an idol was your downfall. You were the princess of this game, but you could have dethroned the queen if it wasn’t for that lie.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Johnny: Not promising your allegiance to Brett, Brandon, and I was your downfall. They knew you weren't willing to commit, which in turn resulted in them writing your name down rather than Rhiannon.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Rhiannon: Being the most powerful player in the game led to your downfall. You were the leader of an alliance and the target stayed on you. On the bright side, you will definitely be brought back.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Brandon: You were too nice and too powerful, I knew that I had to vote you out. I’m sorry bro.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Thomas: You played a strong game, Tatianna messaging me begging me to keep you rubbed me the wrong way, plus I was closer to Brett. I knew that both Brett and Tatianna would take me to the finals.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Brett: Not winning final immunity was the only thing you didn’t do perfectly in this game.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> 6. Do you think you played a better strategic game than Tatianna? If so, explain why

Yes I 100% believe I played a better strategic game than Tatianna. The only two moves that Tatianna made in the game was flipping on Rhiannon, and winning final 3 immunity. Aside from that she just choose a side and stuck to it. I was responsible for a premerge elimination, and when the target was put on me, I managed to get the target off me. After Alietta went home, I started planning for my end game and everything went according to plan. Rhinannon went out in sixth place, I was able to separate you and brandon, then I was able to seperate Thomas and Tatianna, and then I put myself in the final three with two people that would take me. You out of loyalty, and Tatianna because she knew that neither of us would have a chance against you. I made three times as many moves as Tatianna this game. While I do regret how negative my attitude was at certain points (especially the retribution argument), I do feel as though my attitude allowed me to get into some powerful positions, especially during the final 5. You guys could have very easily banded up and voted me out, however I convinced you guys to vote for each other, leaving me with the deciding vote. I think, on a strategic and physical level, I played the stronger game than Tatianna.
