I personally think that being a past winner on the main ORG will always put a target on your back no matter what. So you gotta do what you always gotta do on Survivor - adapt. You're gonna have to search for the people that are not scared of you because of a game you played in the past, the people that will look beyond that title you have. I think putting yourself up as a leader is very risky to begin with, and after having won already I think it may enable you to go further but it will always make you a huge target, making it almost impossible to make it to the end again. So I don't think that's the way to go.

However, there are many good players and many of them have already won an ORG or come close to it. So I don't think only the winners will be targets. Maybe teaming up with the other big targets will help for that reason. If those people are targeting you for being a big threat/past winner, you can always go back to convincing people they are a bigger threat if you haven't stood out yet.

I think in the tribal phase it's all about not standing out in any way: not being bad at challenges, being a team player, not being too much on the foreground but at the same time not being too much on the background. Don't make too many deals with people, but do make bonds with people because you don't wanna be on the outs of an alliance. Being a past winner on the main ORG already makes you stand out in some way. Just be right in the middle and make sure not to rub people the wrong way, because people are easily convinced for the first few votes.

After a swap/merge the bonds you have created with people will help you making it even further and if you make it to the endgame that's when you can start thinking about making moves to take out the people you think can beat you at FTC. But I think you have to do that rather late in the game, because seeing a past winner play an agressive game on the foreground is very threatening.

Thanks for your question and our great conversations during this game pinay <3
