 My goodness these comments ^^^

 This is probably the speech I would have made if I were a juror. I love how into the strategy of things you still are, so let's see if I can answer your questions.

 I also want to be clear with you that I did not find the vote steal on the grid. I won it by throwing the final swap challenge. I lied, it was a pretty bad lie tbh but I think it did the trick.

 1) Though you ended up not needing it, don't you think it would've been more convenient going deep with the vote steal on your side? At the same time you had an idol so it was expendable, but after the fuckup (not sure if that was legit or not) at the Kristen vote off you were pretty much handed an opportunity by not having your advantage used/straight up not using it. Were you comfortable with wasting it for similar reasons that Tate wasted his idol?

 Thanks for this, I'll talk about the vote steal. Like I mentioned above, I won it by throwing the final swap challenge. I wanted to play it during Kristen's boot tribal to make sure that Tate was safe and to turn the vote onto Kristen rather than Whitney (I'll address that in question #2). When I said in my confessional chat that I wanted to use it to make Whitney vote for Kristen, one of the hosts missed it and it was not included in the tribal so it stayed with me. I felt like it was unfair for me to hold onto the item when I meant to use it, and I felt like booting someone with a tainted item would be pretty shitty so that's why I used it when I didn't need it during Zak's boot. I know you were trying to get me to play it, but really I was telling the truth about all of that and I was getting rid of it regardless. I don't regret that, in hindsight it would have had no affect on the votes that came afterward except for maybe making me more of a target.

 2) You mentioned sabotaging the split vote on Whitney and Kristen, but I don't really get what you mean? Did you intentionally save Whitney for some reason unbeknownst to anyone else?

 I was supposed to put one vote on Whitney and one on Kristen with the vote steal, making it a 4-4-1 vote. The plan was to use the vote steal the same way but to put my other vote on Kristen as well, making it 5-3-1 and preventing a tie. In theory it should have been 4-3-1 Whitney without the vote steal but I voted for Kristen, so it was the same result that it would have been either way. I believe I told Anna, Brett, Romain and Tate that I was skewing the vote to Kristen, so it wasn't some big blindside but that's how it went. Honestly, I just felt like if Whitney was still in the game, it was going to distract you from coming after me. And that's kind of how it worked because you voted for me the tribal after she left. I'd like to have your opinion on if you felt like it was a good move, because I know you thought about using her to vote me out which makes me think it could have been risky or dumb on my part.

 3) Time for some hypothetical "what if" plays, I'll give you a situation and you tell me how you think it goes down:

 F11, say Najma doesn't throw the challenge to keep me safe. Who goes home? I know you pushed Anna and Zak a bit to vote me over Malik but I'd just like to know if I'd have made merge had we lost and would it have been Romain going home? Or would say, Zak have been blindsided?

 I was going to fight very hard to make sure Romain stayed over you. I'm sorry! I just had an old alliance with him and I was really trying to keep Zibaq together because I felt very connected there. Which is why I would have targeted you and not Zak. You'll have to ask Anna how she would have voted because she was the deciding vote there, she told me at the time that it was going to be you but I don't have anyway to know if that was true.

 F8, say the vote becomes an all out Zak vs Will war as opposed to Zak willingly voting Brett... who sides with who?

 Oh my how iconic that would have been. Well, I know Romain wanted Zak gone at the time, and Brett and Anna most likely would have been on board. You and Tate apparently had a Final 3 with him so I suppose you two and Whitney would have had the opportunity to make it a tie, but you were pretty willing to vote Zak out and I doubt Tate would have gone against Romain and Brett at that point so I'd assume it'd be 7-1 or 6-2 if Whitney wasn't in the know. She wanted Zak gone at that point as well though. What would you have done? I'm curious.

 F6, say I'm not a fucking dumbass and I stay up for the challenge a couple more hours to claim my immunity necklace (which I thought I'd won but I fell asleep before Trent answered my question rip) who goes home if I was immune? I would assume Brett but you may surprise me

 My target would have been Tate, because I already knew from the start of the round that you and him were trying to pick up numbers to target me. I'm not saying that because Tate is the one I'm up against right now, I just felt good keeping Brett (probably trusted him too much?) and it would have been a good opportunity to keep the bigger threats like Anna and Brett around.

 F3, you win final immunity instead of Tate, who goes home? I'm aware you and Anna were really good friends and had a great bond since something like the Dalton vote off, but she probably would've beat you in the end and I think you know it. Do you pull a Colby Donaldson or no?

 It's a tough question, I went back and forth honestly, but at the time of the results I was leaning towards voting out Queen Anna. That could have changed, but of course I know that she would most likely beat me. It was up in the air then, but now it seems so obvious, so I'm almost glad for my game that Tate won. Sad because Anna would have been the right winner in terms of the season's arc. I feel like me or Tate winning makes the season kind of dark.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Questions for Both

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> 1) I think this season will be remembered for its controversial scandals, there were so fucking many. So which do you think will be most memorable and/or funny?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Oh my, I agree that we're going to get Sumbawa'd a bit, and rightfully so. I know I'll remember the week or two of Whitney's challenge run the most. In particular, 71213441253214 and the crazy sock puppet fight. That was pretty intense, and I think we'll all remember that one. At the time it was hilarious but now it just seems ridiculous and so dumb on our part.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> I also think that this tribal is turning out to be pretty scrappy and feisty, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is remembered as one of the more interesting FTC's.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> 2) I feel like with all the Argentina hype there's been talk about returnees for sure, and I think nearly everyone on the jury and even some pre-jurors are deserving of returning whether it be for Second Chances, FvF, Game Changers, All-Stars, I'd like to see how you'd sort everyone between the types of returnee seasons 

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">I'll have fun with this, okay let's do it:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Joey: I really can't say.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Constance: She just didn't get a chance to play because of personal stuff, so if she gets a returnee bid (which I agree with Tate is a long shot) it would have to be Second Chances.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Gevonte: He killed it in El Salvador and he just won PotS so there's no reason he shouldn't be on Second Chances. I think he's an absolute lock as a returnee.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Dalton: Dalton didn't have success here but he's such an archetypal villain, and honestly his boot at the swap was hilarious because him and Malik were both spilling everything to stay. He reminds me of Randy Bailey, I say he has a very outside chance of making HvV to bring in someone that's going to make the premerge interesting with aggressive gameplay.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Malik: Malik is a pretty active name on ORG's, but he obviously didn't do as well as he needed to to make a big returnee season. I think he should definitely be casted for FvF because he has name recognition (which makes him a favorite in my book) and he's very sociable and open minded so he's not going to trash the fans like a lot of returnees do.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Roodman: Totally Second Chances. We all know how much potential he has, though if he was a hit in the VL maybe he should be FvF.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Scott: He'll have maybe a bit of a hard time returning becausehe didn't get to really shine, but he was apparently in control on Najma and he got Jeremy'd. So I would say Second Chances or a season specifically geared at play styles, because Scott is a really good example of a strategic player.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Kristen: I think she would be perfect for a Brains/Brawn/Beauty with one or two returnees per tribe, because she is absolutely made for the Beauty tribe. Maybe a full returnee season, where there's 2 of each type on each tribe? Actually that's a really good idea, take notes people..

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Zak: I agree with Tater he'd be good as a Hero, because he's ethical but still strategic, and he can be confrontational which makes him unique as a hero but also fitting on that tribe. He left a big enough impact with his personality to potentially get a bid in a big season, but we'll seeee.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Whitney: I actually really disagree that she should be on a partial returnee season which is why I'm glad she didn't get the bid for Argentina. I think partial returnee seasons are generally for people who showed potential that they didn't follow up on, which doesn't really apply to her game imo. I think she is deserving of any high profile returnee season. Game Changers, All Stars (potentially depending on what the people thought of her, that's a very hard spot to get), and HvV as a Hero.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Aras: Not deserving imo. Kidding! I think you have a shot at All Stars like Tate suggested (like I said that's really competitive to get), but I personally would like to see you with Whitney in Game Changers. Not to fellate you, but your game was distinct from most of the cast because of the influence you had on every tribal while you were in the game. You were the big target, and you were aggressive in a way that made people play reactive. So that's where I'd like to see you cast.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Romain: I think Romain is similar to Scott in terms of being very strategic. He would be most appropriate for a gameplay themed season, but he would actually be fitting in Second Chances because he was idoled out when he made his endgame move.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Brett: Haaa, tough one. Jake from Sichuan just got casted which means that there's an opening for that sassy mid 20's gay guy demographic. I say Second Chances because he left in a flukey way, and from what I can tell, if he or Tate won FIC Anna was getting booted and it's a Brett/Tate FTC which favors Brett. Like we got the same score in the challenge, I just finished it faster, so he has a claim to being robbed of the win, definitely. I could also see him as a Villain in HvV.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Anna: Obviously a Hero, she was Cirie to our Panama. All Stars is in the cards too.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Tate: Second Chances, duh!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Will: HvV as a Villain, probably my fate if people even want me on a high profile returnee season. I'd personally like to have been on something fun like Blood Oath or Archetypes, but if I lose I can see myself getting Second Chances as well.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> 3) Because I loved Tate's idea of comparing everyone in the game to an animal (or robot lol Scott), I'd like to see y'all compare the jury (you can do the entire cast if you want but I've already asked a shit ton of questions lmfao I'm such a chav) but ya, compare us to cartoon characters for the sheer lol factor please and thank you! 

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Jesus Christ Aras I've been writing this out for an hour and a half now. I don't even have a TV. Fuck it.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Joey: Patrick from Spongebob because he lived under a rock.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Constance: Droopy! He always got down on himself, but I felt like he was still pretty game saavy and smart underneath that.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Gevonte: Yamcha from Dragon Ball Z! Confident, capable, aggressive, but overshadowed in the context of this game specifically.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Dalton: Gargamel from the Smurfs, I don't know why I just feel like he's so sinister lol

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Malik: I'm so sorry Malik but Pepe Le Pew looool

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Roodman: Tommy Pickles from Rugrats. Smart, Brave, Empathetic. Wasn't afraid to be a leader!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Scott: Mojo Jojo from the Powderpuff Girls, evil genius with a little bit of an ego there.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Kristen: Lucy Van Pelt from Charlie Brown! Every time I tried to get aligned with her she'd pull the football away and I'd land on my butt.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Zak: Daria Morgendorffer from Daria. Exact same sense of humor, super dry wit.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Whitney: Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Very strong willed, confident, capable and she rubs people the wrong way at times. Actually that was a really good answer, good job Will.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Aras: Captain Underpants for sure. Kind of a super hero mentality, but really silly and self deprecating at times.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Romain: Vegeta from Dragonball Z. Super cold blooded and cocky, but a big softy underneath. Or Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory! Idk what cartoons they get in France tbh.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Brett: Scar from the Lion King. Maybe not as OTTP, but super sarcastic and always roasting everyone.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Anna: Lisa Simpson! Smart girl, surrounded by crazy people. Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender also works.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">And over the course of the game, I'd say Tate was Elmer Fudd and I was Bugs Bunny!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">Just messing with you Tater <3

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;">

4) This is an easy one, what is your favourite colour and why? I didn't start on the same original tribe as you guys so I couldn't be arsed to ask you stupid questions like this haha.

I'm a fan of Navy Blue. Dark but with a hint of depth, it was the color



of my room when I was in high school, so I have a little bit of nostalgia there.

Once again, fuck you for making me answer all of these. I started this over two hours ago you selfish motherfucker.
