rl231 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Welcome everyone to this season's Final Tribal Council! Our Top 3 has been officially decided so it is now time to move on to the Final Interview stage of the game. This stage of the game is a final chance for the remaining three castaways to prove why they deserve the title of Sole Survivor. Below will be three sections detailing how the Finale will work on your part. Read the section corresponding to you. To the Judges: We want to thank @clue @Astro @Buddy! @thecptz @Staryu @supaspaz for taking out some time in their schedules to help judge this season! This game wouldn't be the same without y'all, and we're super super grateful. Your jobs as judges are over (for now) but you may all post a few questions in the thread if you're wondering anything about the castaways. See the jury section for more information. To the Viewers: Thank you for being so great (and also for being as discreet as possible)! You all are definitely welcome to ask unbiased questions if you're wondering anything about the castaways. To the Jury: Spoiler @Jay-Zicario @Stevie @Sanguine @Rotunda @Dessy @wehavetostan @CBC @miguel For some of you, it's been over a month since your elimination. For others, you're newer to Ponderosa. But all of you have been chatting it up on Discord, and we're grateful for that! You all have two tasks for this finale. One is optional while the other is mandatory. The first task is for you to ask questions of the final three. This will be done in real time in the thread. If there are any unanswered questions you want information on, now would be the time to ask them. You may submit one, a few, or none at all if you're content with your viewership of this season. You will have less than three days to ask questions. The deadline for those will be June 17th @ 5 PM EDT. Make sure to specify whether your question(s) are for one specific castaway or all of them, and you may also include whatever commentary you want (go all out, if your heart desires). Also don't send us too general questions as we will have all of those covered in the interview, as you will see below. Feel free to have a civil discussion in response to the finalists' statements - followup questions are allowed but be reasonable. The second (mandatory) task for the Jury will be to vote for the winner. The Top 3 will have 4-5 days to finish all of their material so that would put us at the 19th. You will have 24 hours to vote, starting from the 19th at 8 PM EDT. More information on voting will be given after the interviews are posted. Here are the questions that we will be sending the finalists. Please do not ask them over again: Spoiler Did you have a strategy coming in here or no? What were your initial thoughts coming into this game? How did you think you'd place at the start of the season? Did you expect to make it to the Final Tribal Council? Who did you expect to see in the Final Tribal Council in your honest opinion? Why? Did you have any special memories from this season or learn anything about yourself? Based on your actions alone, why should you win this game? Why shouldn't your opponents win this game? Which other contestants deserved to be in the finale with you? Take us through your alliances this season. From day one to now who have you been aligned with and how has it changed throughout the course of this game? All three of you are well-known by the jury as members of the Discord Gaymers server. How did being a member of this server help and/or hinder your gameplay this season? Did your prior relationships make things easy or complicate matters when you had to vote them out? Did you betray any allies you had during the season? If so, who & why? Do you have any regrets in the competition that you feel could hurt you in the vote? Which part of your gameplay do you think was the strongest: social, strategic, or strength (i.e. challenge scores)? Do you think you were more of a threat or an underdog this season? Do you have any final words before we leave this vote up to the Jury? To the final 3: @Auburn @boys @luckystrike Congratulations again on making it as far as you can go! A PM (yes, on ATRL haha) will be in your inbox consisting of your final interview. This will be the last chance to make an argument for your win so we advise you all to put great effort into it. After all, it is your last task and can be the deciding factor in who takes the win home with them this season. The deadline for your interview submission is going to be Wednesday, June 16th @ 8 PM EDT (less than 2 days), but get it done ASAP please! Your responses to the jury questions will be due Saturday, June 19th at 8 PM EDT. Once you are done with your interview, you will submit it to us and then they will all be posted on the 16th (or when all three are submitted). The voting period will be 24 hours, making our finale at 9 PM EDT on Sunday, June 20th!! That's it, everybody! Thanks to the judges, once again! Please attempt to submit a question if you're a Jury member. And finally, good luck to the Top 3 castaways! Auburn | boys | luckystrike Edited June 15, 2021 by rl231
Not Like The Movies Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 good luck to all 3 hopefully I can judge in a future season
Rotunda Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Hello everyone. Before I begin I just want to take the time to thank @rl231@Element and all the judges for their work during the season. It was a pleasure getting to play my first season of ATRL Survivor with these hosts, these judges, and this cast (even though I had to read a few of y'all). While I appreciate every finalist's game, it would be a lie for me to say I don't have my preferences in determining a winner. Regardless, I do want to say that I am open to having my mind changed and am excited to hear what you all have to bring to the table. @boys Despite your repeated verbal assaults on the ATRL Survivor community, you managed to blow everyone out of the water socially this season. How much of your blowups were genuine emotions vs manufactured moments for tv and/or strategy, and do you have any regrets? More importantly, how do you feel you leveraged your social bonds to navigate the post-merge portion of the game in ways that your fellow finalists did not? @Auburn I would be remiss to not highlight your strong challenge performance during the pre-merge and post-merge, and your ability to navigate some precarious situations, but I must say the mid-merge boot order did not really work in your favor. I feel like the eliminations of subtler players left you with a lot of big threats you'd need to beat at the end. Was this your ideal Final 3? If not, what was? Please explain your reasoning for picking the three players you did, and highlight how you either a) helped ensure the creation of that F3 or b) rebounded after realizing that F3 was not possible. @luckystrike I think you did an excellent job both in challenges and in managing to pick the right time to come alive this season. With that said, a lot of the jurors have questions about your social and strategic acumen. In what cycles do you think your social or strategic abilities changed the outcomes of the vote? Thanks y'all, and good luck <3

Dessy Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Hi and once again congrats to the three finalists. I'm fairly open to voting for anyone at this point as I see a good game going for each of you. I mean all three of y'all have bested us in one form or another. I am curious about some things, however. @AuburnYou made the tough decision to work with me and Miguel after the Movies' elimination. Knowing what you know now, do you regret that decision? As in do you think you could've worked more closely with someone else? Or was it the best way forward for you at the time? Also, what was the thought process for using your vote nullifier when you did? @boys Given how it was down to the wire with the last round, do you think you could've changed to a different target or approached different people during the merge rounds? Considering that Lucky and Auburn were strong performers with Miguel not too far behind, it did seems like your left yourself vulnerable on that front. @luckystrikeYou had an impressive strings of challenge performances, especially toward the end. It did seem that you managed to do this while simultaneously not being actively perceived as one of the greatest threats. Do you think this was too late in the game for this type of performance (especially going off of Rotunda's question, it didn't seems like you had a visible social/strategic game)? Did you ever think there were a moment where you could've made a big move? Thanks and good luck!

rl231 Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 FINAL INTERVIEWS @Jay-Zicario @Stevie @Sanguine @Rotunda @Dessy @wehavetostan @CBC @miguel Here are the final interviews! Please peruse them and see if they help give insight to each castaway's game. And also, questions are still due if you'd like to ask one!! @Auburn @luckystrike @boys - please be on the lookout for questions in the thread throughout the next day or so. @Auburn's Final Interview Spoiler 8 minutes ago, Auburn said: Did you have a strategy coming in here or no? My initial strategy coming into the game was quite flawed and was essentially abandoned instantly. I thought I could come in as more of a villain and that people would want to keep me around as a target. I quickly realized that no one would want to work with me if I did that, so I altered that plan and decided to feel it out as I go instead. What were your initial thoughts coming into this game? Confusion. I’ve never played this game before or seen the TV show. I knew the general premise and that’s it. I know I asked a lot of questions then AND throughout the entire season but I had a lot of knowledge to gain. How did you think you'd place at the start of the season? Did you expect to make it to the Final Tribal Council? I most definitely did not. But no one ever does, cuz it’s so unlikely. I just wanted to make it halfway or better. I thought I would end up being out somewhere around there. Who did you expect to see in the Final Tribal Council in your honest opinion? Why? This question definitely depends on when you ask it. Somewhere around the beginning I can say I was expecting miguel and pinknblue to make it to the FTC. Both had incredible determination and strategy. I can’t think of a third person, but most likely someone who ended up being the weakest of the three to give them an easier path to victory. Did you have any special memories from this season or learn anything about yourself? Honestly I had a lot of fun scheming with lucky once we both discovered we had the two halves of the idol. We definitely helped each other get this far. But overall this whole experience has been really fun for me. I learned that I am good at navigating the complex communication strategies that come with this style of game. There were a few moments in the last few weeks of this game where I was juggling speaking to all of the other contestants at the exact same time and somehow keeping my stories straight. I also think I realized that I am more persuasive than I give myself credit for. Based on your actions alone, why should you win this game? Why shouldn't your opponents win this game? I think I deserve to win because I played a balanced game that included strong performances in challenges, as well as strong strategic and social game, especially in the second half of the season. I didn’t hesitate to make waves and take chances in the game once I reached the top 10, such as gunning for miguel instead of Sanguine in episode 10, approaching WHTS to flip the vote to get Rotunda out, and turning lucky and miguel against each other by leaking things they said about each other. I’ll elaborate on this stuff later on as well. I can’t say that my opponents shouldn’t win. However, I will say I think my gameplay is the most well-rounded of the final 3. Lucky was a capable challenge winner throughout this season, but I think he lacked the strength of my social gameplay. Conversely, boys was a good social player, but I think he wasn’t as strong with challenges. Both played it on the safe side strategically in my opinion, and I think were more reserved when it came to attempting power moves, and instead followed what others were doing, or would ruffle the least feathers. Which other contestants deserved to be in the finale with you? I said this last round, but I really think the entire top 4 was deserving of a spot in the finale to some degree. We all did a great job. So if I had to pick one contestant that deserved to be here it would be miguel. Take us through your alliances this season. Well, I initially started off in Wakasu mainly in an alliance with Miguel and Dessy. Shortly after that pinknblue and I became each other’s source for info on the opposite tribe, and we planned to team up once the merge took place. This lasted until he quit, and no one ever found out about it until after the fact. Some of the information he gave me helped me all the way up to the top 5. Once the merge occurred, lucky and I happened to stumble upon the information that we each had half of an idol, and since then we’ve been aligned. Lucky easily became my #1 ally after that because we found out that miguel knew that we each had a half idol and didn’t tell us, and I began to distrust him. My alliance with lucky also brought the loyalty of boys as a bonus (although I’m pretty sure he cast a vote for me once). After my alliance with miguel disintegrated I still spoke to Dessy privately, which led me to CBC as well, who had been another close ally for me up until his accidental elimination. I also reconciled with miguel later to help take out each other’s biggest targets. From day one to now who have you been aligned with and how has it changed throughout the course of this game? All three of you are well-known by the jury as members of the Discord Gaymers server. How did being a member of this server help and/or hinder your gameplay this season? Did your prior relationships make things easy or complicate matters when you had to vote them out? My answer for the last question sorta has the first part of this one covered. Being a member of Gaymers helped in the beginning of the game most I think, simply because people I know from that server were easier to start conversations with about the game. I know their mannerisms and personalities. An important thing to recognize here is also that knowing the musical taste of the Gaymers judges definitely helped me tailor challenge entries to their taste. Did you betray any allies you had during the season? If so, who & why? Yes. I realized that it’s less important to stay loyal than to just give the illusion that you are staying loyal to people. In the third vote, I betrayed Bethenny for the sake of my alliance with miguel and Dessy (they didn’t tell me they were voting out NLTM). I betrayed miguel in episode 10 because I knew it was only a matter of time before he decided to turn on me, so I decided to come for him first. This was all because I heard from Sanguine that WHTS was targeting me, and I realized that I had given miguel WHTS’s name as my target about 15 minutes prior to that. I also realized that miguel had the Wakasu idol and lied to me about it even though we were supposed to be looking for it together. Even though his elimination didn’t end up coming to fruition, I think it was a very important move for me to make. This was where the game really changed for me and I became more focused on developing my strategy. I betrayed miguel again when I eliminated WHTS, and again when I voted for him in the live TC (although I knew he was safe due to the idol). Do you have any regrets in the competition that you feel could hurt you in the vote? I do, but only minor. My biggest regret happened during the live round and TC, when CBC was sent home. I fully intended for boys to leave that vote, but I decided to vote for miguel just in case he didn’t have the idol, and then if there was a tie, I would send boys home in the revote over CBC. Obviously this backfired as miguel did not vote out boys as I was expecting, and I lost an ally with CBC. Which part of your gameplay do you think was the strongest: social, strategic, or strength (i.e. challenge scores)? Strategy is the strongest part of my gameplay. After Sanguine’s elimination (the round where I first targeted miguel), I thought I would become a bigger target. However, by carefully giving pieces of information to other players at the right time, I managed to avoid being eliminated by pitting other players against each other, and making myself the deciding vote each round. I think my strongest strategy was using the truth to my advantage. I told minimal lies in the game to ensure that people would end up trusting me when the things I said always turned out to be true. Of course, I’m not saying I NEVER lied, but the truth is a greater weapon in this game than a lie. When I found out from boys that Rotunda was trying to pit me and WHTS against each other, I waited for him to say he was okay with going for Rotunda before suggesting it. I then took this information to WHTS and used it to flip the vote against Rotunda. In this process, I gained WHTS as an ally because CBC and Dessy were caught lying to him by saying that they voted for me, when really they voted out WHTS. This took WHTS’s target off my back and gained his trust. As such, Dessy became the target for the next round, which was good for me because it isolated CBC as a closer ally for me. In the next round, miguel would have been my target, but he won immunity, so I turned back to WHTS because he was miguel’s closest ally and I needed to isolate him. I did this again by fueling WHTS and CBC’s distrust of each other, with me being the deciding vote that round yet again. I think many people in the jury question why I targeted so-called smaller threats such as Dessy or WHTS over perhaps a bigger threat such as boys, but I don’t think I could have made it this far without keeping boys and lucky on my side by not betraying them until the last minute. I recognized that could have been detrimental to my game, and as such, I am mentioning it here to prove that my actions have not been lightly pondered. Do you think you were more of a threat or an underdog this season? I think I was more of a threat this game. I first started out as a competitive threat by performing well in challenges. Later I became a threat in other ways, strategic and socially, although I think it’s possible the influence I had over many of the previous eliminations has been largely unnoticed. But this worked out for me in the end because I became a competitive threat again to win the final two challenges to secure my spot in the finale. Do you have any final words before we leave this vote up to the Jury? I’m sorry if some of my explanations trying to recount this stuff are confusing, but I did the best I could to untangle my brain and thought processes throughout this season. I know not every move I made was perfect and I made one or two slip ups, but I think I recovered from my mistakes and maneuvered out of difficult situations well enough to prove that I am deserving of the win. I’ve had such a fun time playing this game for the first time and I feel like I’ve become better friends with many of you as well as gained some new friends, so I’m very grateful for this experience. @luckystrike's Final Interview Spoiler 22 hours ago, luckystrike said: Did you have a strategy coming in here or no? I definitely did, although my strategy evolved many times as the game progressed, I initially came into this game with what I called the "just nod and smile" strategy, I tried to lay low and just be nice to people, which worked out well for me at the beginning but I knew I couldn't keep that up or I would be voted out. After a few rounds and getting a hang of the game I switched my strategy up and I started talking to people, social bonds are essential in this game so I knew I had to start before it was too late, I also knew staying close to the people I knew from the Gaymers server was gonna be good for me but obviously that wasn't gonna carry me all the way here so I'm glad I realized that early on and didn't fully rely on that or else I wouldn't be here, since that wasn't really relevant in TC's as we saw early on. What were your initial thoughts coming into this game? Well not gonna lie, I was kinda nervous, the first time I played this game I did terrible since I didn't know what I was doing, but this time I was so much more familiar with the gameplay and strategies that take place so I felt rather ready but still nervous about how I would be perceived, which ended up fading away as we went and turned into confidence. How did you think you'd place at the start of the season? Did you expect to make it to the Final Tribal Council? It's funny because I had like 3 different stages throughout the season, when the season started my only goal was to try to make it to the Top 10, I wasn't sure if I'd make it any further after my tragic debut 2 seasons ago, but when I actually got to the merge with my game going as well as it was I realized that if I kept my strategy I could go further, so I gained this new confidence in myself when the merge started, and THEN after my third individual immunity win, which I never imagined I'd be able to pull off, I was soooo focused on getting to the final 3 and I was confident I would make it. Who did you expect to see in the Final Tribal Council in your honest opinion? Why? Well coming into this season I didn't particularly know anyone's way of gameplay or anything, so I was a bit clueless when it came to who was a strong player or not, but as the game progressed I definitely saw boys as a strong contender, his strategies seemed to be strong and his social game was so good, I also thought other people like Stevie, Miguel, Rotunda or wehavetostan had good chances of making it to this point after noticing their gameplay. Did you have any special memories from this season or learn anything about yourself? I definitely learned to stop underestimating myself, I think that I always tend to be so underestimated by people that I end up doing it to myself, which ends up ruining things for me, but in this game I truly believed I had what it took to get to this point and I'm glad I realized that because I did! Based on your actions alone, why should you win this game? Why shouldn't your opponents win this game? Well, I feel like I was the biggest surprise of the final 3? I don't think that anyone expected me to do this well, I won 3 individual immunities, and during the whole game I only got 2 votes against me in 2 tribal councils (one of those votes being cancelled by my idol) so if I'm not wrong I'm the person who got the least votes in the entire game which is also something I'm proud of, I always made sure to be in good terms with everybody, I always made sure to speak to just enough people and say just the necessary things, I think that me not going around lying to people left and right helped me gain the trust of some players even if we didn't have a solid alliance, which helped me never become the target, I always made sure there was always someone before me in the chopping block, because I know that once your name is being thrown around, it's probably gonna be thrown around for future rounds if you survive, so making sure my name was never mentioned first to people was an essential part of my strategy. When it comes to boys and auburn, I think boys had a magnificent social game, auburn was a challenge beast, we all performed amazing in our own way but I think I should win over them because I think I had the biggest evolution out of everyone, I came here with no expectations and ended up having an amazing game, I figured this all out on my own and I went from being one of the worst to a finalist with some sick game stats ngl, so that's why I feel like I should win over my 2 finalist partners. Which other contestants deserved to be in the finale with you? I'm very happy with my 2 finalist partners since they were 2 of my biggest allies in this game, but if I had to name other people who also could've been in the finale with me would probably be Stevie, wehavetostan or Rotunda, I think they all played a good game too. Take us through your alliances this season. Since day one boys and I immediately gravitated towards each other, we were tribe mates so we started talking about the challenges until we went to tribal together and reassured each other we wouldn't be voting for each other, so he was my first ally I'd say. At some point around the swap I formed an alliance with Auburn, Dessy, Miguel and boys, even though we were in different tribes, but it kinda got scrapped after some disagreements, although I stayed in good terms with everyone there. Then I formed a very strong bond with Miguel, we protected each other for a few rounds and talked strategies. At some point in the swap Stevie, boys and I formed an alliance which was really strong and kept going during the merge until Stevie got voted out, then at some point around the merge I started an alliance with Auburn since we each had a half of an idol and we needed it complete to use it, so we just agreed to keep our halves and work together to get as far as we could and use the idol for necessary situations. I'd consider those my closest alliances, even though throughout the season I was on good terms with a lot of people and I talked to them, I didn't work with anyone else as close as I did with them, but I felt safe and I trusted other people like wehavetostan and Rotunda. From day one to now who have you been aligned with and how has it changed throughout the course of this game? All three of you are well-known by the jury as members of the Discord Gaymers server. How did being a member of this server help and/or hinder your gameplay this season? Did your prior relationships make things easy or complicate matters when you had to vote them out? Well as I just said, I've been aligned with boys since day 1 until now, he was the only person who I stayed close to since day 1, I picked up new alliances along the way of course but no one since the start like him. I think that coming into this game knowing several people from the Gaymers server definitely helped me in some way, it was way easier to establish an alliance and talk to them than to new players, I had assumed that we all would have an indirect alliance if that makes sense? but I realized that wasn't the case when NLTM and touya kinomoto got voted out lol, but it definitely was easier for me. It was also definitely hard in some cases, biggest example being last TC when I had to choose between boys and miguel, I had such a close game with both of them and choosing was awful for me but I ended up choosing boys based on how loyal we had been to each other since day 1, but it was definitely hard to vote Miguel out. Did you betray any allies you had during the season? If so, who & why? Well, at some point in the merge Bethenny approached me and we agreed to work together as long as we didn't vote for each other, which was the same round he got blindsided by us dddd, so he definitely didn't see that coming, and also I had a talk with Miguel where he felt like I betrayed him because at some point Auburn and I thought about getting rid of him, we never acted on it, but he found out about our plan, all of this being while I was still close to miguel, so he definitely stopped trusting me there, which I don't blame him for of course, but we already talked about our feelings about that kii. Also maybe I'd mention Rotunda even though we didn't have a super solid alliance written down, I was one of the people who voted for him (sorry king) because I knew he was a huuuuge threat if he made it further, so when the opportunity came I took it. Do you have any regrets in the competition that you feel could hurt you in the vote? Maybe one, I wish I would have talked to a few more people? There's a few people in the game who I never talked to so I could've upped my social game a little there, but other than that I don't think I have more, I'm quite happy and satisfied with the way I approached this game, I think I took the right decisions, I was very careful with what I did and said and I always tried to be as nice as I could so yeah. Which part of your gameplay do you think was the strongest: social, strategic, or strength (i.e. challenge scores)? I think that strategy and strength were my 2 better gameplay abilities this time, I definitely did way better than I thought I would on the challenges, and my strategies were always evolving, I tend to overthink everything so I always pictured different scenarios and I tried to imagine an outcome to be able to take the best path possible, which always worked out for me in a way that I avoided mistakes that could've cost me the game, I always thought of every consequence and I acted upon it in what I thought was the most favorable way for me. Socially I did good too but I could've done better, even though I established enough relationships to manage my way into this finale, talking to some more people wouldn't have hurt my game. Do you think you were more of a threat or an underdog this season? I think I'm naturally an underdog I definitely feel like some people never saw me as a big threat but I honestly feel like one, I had never played with such confidence or felt this sure about myself in a game ever, so in my head I saw myself as a threat even though I might've been perceived as an underdog by others, at the end of the day I'm a finalist, so if anyone ever underestimated me, well... you shouldn't have! Do you have any final words before we leave this vote up to the Jury? Well, I just want to say that I'm very happy to have made it to this point, as I mentioned in an earlier question, I had 3 stages of where I thought I would place, and right now I'm in a new found fourth stage; I really want to win this ****ing game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I played a game deserving enough of winning, I exceeded my expectations, I surprised myself, it's something that I enjoyed from start to finish, it made my nights more fun and eventful, and winning would just be the cherry on top. I don't think I have anything else to say other than I would really appreciate if you guys voted for me, winning this game would truly be an accomplishment for me and I'm not even kidding I truly enjoyed playing this with y'all and I wanna thank you all for taking the time to read this, and regardless of what happens, I love both Auburn and boys and honestly any of us can take this home and I'd be very happy but please vote for me!!!! kii @boys' Final Interview Spoiler On 6/15/2021 at 2:03 PM, boys said: interview answers Did you have a strategy coming in here or no? Honestly there was no initial strategy coming into this because in my mind I’m not going to spend an hour coming up with what I’m going to do just for it to be derailed in the first 10 minutes of coming into the game. You never know who signed up for the game or what’s going to come your way so I’d rather just come into the game without the stress of trying to stick to a specific strategy and see where it takes me. What were your initial thoughts coming into this game? Why did I sign up for this again? The stress of the situation hits you right away especially if you’ve played a season before you know what’s coming and you question all your life choices up to that moment of coming back. How did you think you'd place at the start of the season? Did you expect to make it to the Final Tribal Council? I honestly knew that I WANTED to be in the finale but I thought with the selection of people I’d make it to like the beginning of the merge before I was tossed again. I 100% knew I was capable of being in the finale I just needed to set myself up right to get there. I didn’t expect to be in the finale just because I always consider myself to have horrible luck and in survivor you do need a tiny bit of luck on your side no matter what anyone says. Who did you expect to see in the Final Tribal Council in your honest opinion? Why? https://voca.ro/12LFs3artsEx Did you have any special memories from this season or learn anything about yourself? The season as a whole is a special memory just being able to participate in this again is something that I will always be able to look back on and remember whether I win or lose it was a fun experience. As far as learning anything new about myself? No I wasn’t surprised by anything I said or did. Based on your actions alone, why should you win this game? Why shouldn't your opponents win this game? https://voca.ro/12bEnLL8dPLb Which other contestants deserved to be in the finale with you? https://voca.ro/195kKtRnKWGq Take us through your alliances this season. https://voca.ro/1dyuZ3F4IYsZ From day one to now who have you been aligned with and how has it changed throughout the course of this game? All three of you are well-known by the jury as members of the Discord Gaymers server. How did being a member of this server help and/or hinder your gameplay this season? Did your prior relationships make things easy or complicate matters when you had to vote them out? https://voca.ro/1nhkSp4Zek6H Did you betray any allies you had during the season? If so, who & why? https://voca.ro/14VUHnsXEGsM Do you have any regrets in the competition that you feel could hurt you in the vote? I have no regrets, I stand by what I did in the game. Which part of your gameplay do you think was the strongest: social, strategic, or strength (i.e. challenge scores)? https://voca.ro/1f7A5Dvi7WTY Do you think you were more of a threat or an underdog this season? https://voca.ro/1mEUhJ5TgdYt Do you have any final words before we leave this vote up to the Jury? https://voca.ro/1eW5bXGiNi83

When I found out from boys that Rotunda was trying to pit me and WHTS against each other, I waited for him to say he was okay with going for Rotunda before suggesting it. I then took this information to WHTS and used it to flip the vote against Rotunda. Just clarifying to the girls that this is what he THOUGHT happened but in reality I went and told both of them that Rotunda was coming for them. I was the one who decided it was time for Rotunda to go. I pushed them to talk to each other so that they'd come together and vote him out. Rotunda would not have left if I hadn't been making the moves for him to go cause I knew he was too smart to stay around too long.

You were a cute source of information though. Prior to our conversation, me and miguel had already both identified rotunda as the top target for the both of us. You came to me and I could tell from your vibe that you would be okay with Rotunda leaving, and so I suggested that I would speak to WHTS to get him to vote out Rotunda. If I didn't speak to WHTS, it sure as hell wouldn't have been you collecting that vote since you rarely stuck your neck out like I did for votes. In addition, I just read back and I was the one who pestered lucky to vote out Rotunda an hour before the TC, I also reached out to miguel who would have changed his vote to Rotunda if he was present at that TC. So I really don't understand how I was the one who secured all the votes to get Rotunda out, yet you think it was you? I was already coming for him anyway lmao, you just helped make it easier. ALSO, I would just like to point out that I saw this opportunity to get WHTS on my side and take the target off of my back from the previous round. Dessy and CBC voting against WHTS instead of me put them ahead of me in his target list, secured my safety for the next round, and built WHTS's trust in me. I know YOU might not have known what I was doing in this game like you said in your interview, but I did and that's exactly why I'm sitting here in the finale.
