1. The one and only conversation we had in the game, you were very rude and condescending to me. I hope your interactions with other jury members were better. Why were you so rude to me and how do you think your jury management skills will effect the votes?

Christina, I honestly beg you to look at this conversation differently. I fully admit I played terribly socially when it came to you as we only had one conversation after all, but in that one conversation I had good intentions to befriend you, I didn't mean to be rude to you in anyway. In this conversation I tried to bond with you, with the fact that we both had votes cast against us in the past, that's why I brought it up, I didn't mean to be rude to you when I did bring it up, and I'm sorry it came across that way, I really did just want to be friends with you, and I was being genuine when I said I felt the same way as you about people voting me in my past tribals. I also do admit my jury management wasn't the best, but I do believe I made some good enough social connections that I do have some people rooting for me on the jury, especially because of my loyalty to them. Once again I do apologise for coming across rude to you, and I hope we can still talk after this regardless of who you vote. I never come in with the intention of being rude and making enemies and at the end of the day you can't totally control how people perceive you but it's 100% my fault that we didn't have a better social connection and I feel like a bit of an ass for it. But at the third merge tribal when it was either you or me, I didn't have a choice. Even though my jury management could've been better I think I built good enough social bonds to get to the end and I hope the jury sees my game for what it is. Again, sorry that our relationship was not the best, I take full responsibility because you did nothing wrong to me and you didn't deserve to be voted out, but it was you or me.

2. To me it seemed like you hid behind stronger players this entire game, what moves make you stand out more than the other 2 players?

I admit, I did come across less threatening as my allies, Jenna and Elmo, but I did still make some solid moves as I said in my opening speech. I'm the reason Tyler was sent home at final 6 over David when Nadine player her Idol, as I really put my foot down and convinced Nadine and Ting Ting to vote out Tyler, because I knew he was the biggest threat left strategically. I also made a big move at final 5 when I flipped to David and Danielle and voted out Ting Ting, as I knew she was a huge physical threat and that she had a really good chance to win, and I didn't want her winning her way to the end, although David spearheaded this move, and was a big reason I did flip. As for hiding behind other players, there was NOBODY in this final three who came into the merge one of the biggest threats. ALL of us were under the radar. I fully admit that it was strategy to hide behind Jenna and Elmo, it was the only way I could honestly get the target off my back from the pre merge was to lay low. Nadine did the same thing, she hid behind Ting Ting and Hannah. Danielle did the same thing as well, hiding behind Tyler and David the difference between all of them and the three of us is that we made it to the end because we didn't come off as intimidating. I'm okay with being seen as hiding behind Elmo and Jenna, they were my rocks in this game. But after those shields were gone I made my own moves. Convincing Nadine and Ting to idol out Tyler, flipping on Ting who was a huge physical threat (but largely due to David's convincing) and voting out David who based on the ROP and his likability was going to win. So yes I did have shields in this game but so did the other two and after my shields were gone I was able to make a string of moves to vote out all the big threats just before the end.
