Hi Tyler! I enjoyed our conversations too :)

I have no regrets about how I voted but I have some regrets about smaller moments in the game. Socially, I regret not talking to Bryce more the first round of the merge. I hated that the first juror was someone I hadn’t spoken to a lot and I knew Bryce was going to have some serious questions about how I played the game. I did reach out to him but I think I should have put more of an effort in, but I assumed that there was no way he’d get voted out that round and I was counting on having more time to build up that bond. I also kind of regret not having a more strategic conversation with you, because although I LOVED talking to you about non-game stuff, I was worried that you’d leave the game thinking I wasn’t really playing intelligently. But I knew that these issues would be corrected once Jakey was made the third juror, as he knew the most about my game. I assume had Sydney actually been voted out she would have gone out upset but knowing I was one of the people responsible for her leaving, therefore showing to you and Bryce that I was actively taking a role in the votes.

I also do regret how I acted towards Cali after the Plague tribal because it made things a lot harder for me going into the merge. I was super annoyed at her and Jake for not telling me I was being targeted, but I was mainly frustrated because I felt if our tribe lost again it would be me or her going home and I had been hoping to work with her. What I should have done was remained a lot more calm but I thought TJ’s move made absolutely no sense and since I couldn’t take it out on him, I kind of took it out on Cali. In my opinion, TJ should have just voted me out or told me to vote Jake, but instead he burned a bunch of allies and I was super confused, I thought that was so wild! Thankfully this got remedied later in the game as Cali ended up being someone I was super close to and when I later had the chance to throw her under the bus at F10 to save myself, I instead kept the secrets she’d shared with me and chose to work with her, something that ended up being immensely positive for my game. I touch on this in detail in Audrey’s answer, so I won’t go into too much depth here, but I wish that I’d been able to make this connection with Cali earlier as we would have done some SERIOUS damage in this game had we been closer right at the get go of merge.

I think you should personally vote for me because you’re someone who quite clearly relies on his social game to do well. I don’t know much about how you’ve played in the past, but I could tell based on this game alone that you’re someone who is INCREDIBLY well liked and you work that to your advantage to help you. I feel like my game mirrors that the closest out of everyone as my social connections were the only thing I could rely on in this game since I had nothing else to keep me safe. Jamie had her immunities, Chelsea relied on others to do the heavy lifting, but I was taking risks and counting on multiple people being honest with me to get what I needed done. I think you respect that kind of game, and hopefully you respect it enough to give me your vote :)
