First off I wanna apologize for taking so long to answer you. My life is super busy right now and college is killing me rip. Rhi’s answer took up like all my free time up because it was a lot of questions but I finally have time now!!

Thank you so much for your kind words Priscilla and accepting my apology. I’m glad we can move on from the game and be friends after this. You didn’t have to forgive me, but I’m so grateful you have. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My social game throughout the premerge was very strong. I think that was shown when Alietta decided to go after the people coming after me in order to protect me, the tribe including me on the plan to get Alietta out even though they knew I was close to her, and my ability to dictate the votes onto Nathan and Taylor behind the scenes. I was able to use my social game in order to get what I wanted and let moves fall into where I wanted them to go. At the merge, there were good and bad aspects of my social game. The bad parts were when things didn’t go my way and I lashed out at the people closest to me. When the pressure was on, I didn’t handle myself in a way I should have. That aspect of my social game was sloppy, but despite that, there were good aspects. I was able to still manage to climb out of the tough spot I was in and from the Final 7 onward, I was on the right side of every vote and finally in control. I was able to develop a stable relationship with Clifford which turned out to be the most beneficial part of my game. The most important part of a social game is getting people to trust you in order to advance your spot in the game, and in that, I was successful. Clifford was protecting me the entire merge and I was there for him when Jace turned on him for no real strategic reason. Because of that, I was able to fully take control of the rest of the game. What’s the point in having a good relationship with everyone if you can’t utilize that in your strategy? Jace was very good at talking to people and making them feel good and comforting them most when they needed him. A lot of people felt comfortable going to him with what they were feeling, but he was never able to utilize it to his advantage after the final 10 to get back in control of the game. He continued to be nice to people, but at that point his social game was transparent and he couldn’t manage to get the numbers back on his side after Yannick left. I will tell you a fun fact that I have learned about each of the jurors in this game, but I think it’s important to note that a good social game should go hand in hand with being able to get people on your side and from that, I think I was the most successful.

Eva: She is the world’s best Miss Fortune support and the Haitians that live in her building are always stealing her Wi-fi so she has to constantly reset her password. Because she has to constantly reset it, her family always has to ask her what it is and it’s annoying.

Hannah: Hannah has a drinking problem. Lol jk. She doesn’t have a brother LOL (iconic 2 truths 1 lie trick!). But seriously uh, she’s going to school to become a makeup artist in a few months and we’re both rly stressed about what we wanna do with our lives :~)

Chris: Us gamebots were always talking game, but in the beginning of the game we talked about our dogs and his cute lil poodle named Aerial n i cried a lil. He also told me that in the northern parts of Newfoundland ppl can throw water outside during the winter and it’d freeze in mid air.. I was shook.

Simon: He was working packing cookies like oreos n shit but he didn’t ever want to eat them. Personally, I would have stolen them off the conveyer belt or some shit when no one was looking n stuffed my face.

Jenna: Queen of telling me she doesn’t like pineapples and just thinks they look cute and then admitting she never actually has tried pineapple before. We’re both pretty picky eaters n only like the good kinds of meat aka chicken nuggets n hot dogs n stuff.

Yannick: first off, fox stickers > fish in a suit. Anyway!! His mom is a nurse and when she was going to school for it he’d study w her and take tests so he saw lots of diagrams n gory videos. So basically the non pre-med student can handle blood better than i can.

Julia: some of her favorite cities that she’s been to are london, ottawa, and toronto!

Priscilla: You’ve somehow never had the best soda ever AKA ginger ale?? You also usually drink microwavable coffee which i’ve literally never heard of in my life so im like 78% sure you live on another planet.

Maya: Admittedly so, I bonded the least personally with Maya, unfortunately. I kept trying at the end of the game to get us to open up to each other more!! Why Malaysia gotta be across the world n shit? Anyway I hope Stranger Things season 1 was good!

Rhiannon: the queen’s life motto is: “If at first you don't succeed, go and get a burger instead.” i picked this bc im now wondering how many burgers she’s eaten this season.

Clifford: oh gosh ive learned many interesting things about cliff this season, most were very personal so ill pick a fun one. He used to work at a call centre for 2 and a half years selling satellites.
