| 1. You seemed to know it was most likely going to be you, and fought to stay. Why do you think it didn't work? Do you think anyone made a mistake voting you out? |
So I'll start back a little at the immunity challenge, when I started it I had been paying attention to who was online/anonymous so I knew Neal was already doing it by the time I started so I was well aware I was trailing him at this point. After my alliance was basically slowly Pagong'd I really figured that this win would be my only shot at surviving this round so when my computer froze and I missed my post, I knew I was about to get 5th place. It didn't stop me from trying to stay, I have fought from the bottom pretty much all game and I wasn't just going to lay down and accept defeat. I don't think it worked because while the Final 4 are meh, they do possess at least 3 brain cells each so they knew I'd probably kick all of their asses in a FTC scenario, and coming to jury and seeing the support I had, they were right. I don't think it was a lack of effort on my part trying to stay, I really laid out all the cards on the table to Rachel and Woo, Woo even said I made an easy vote a more difficult one.
I don't think the mistake in anyones game at this point was voting me out, for this round I definitely was the person that should have been voted out. I think the mistake for someone like Rachel came a couple rounds ago, She essentially gave up all of her power and control when she voted Natalie out. I was constantly hinting to her that I wanted to go to the end with her to get her to see that Nick/Nat/Myself weren't as tight as Woo/Neal/Liz (and we totally weren't! I wanted Nick out soon [sorry nick ily] and natalie wanted both of us out). When she voted Natalie out and refused to go to rocks the next round, she essentially became the 4th in a group of 2 very strong players and Liz.

| 2. Anything you wish you had done different with this vote? Any regrets throughout the game in general? |
Nah, this vote I was pretty fucked. I tried what I could and nothing was sticking so I decided to use my vote to sorta give a nice little message to Liz on my way out.
I don't regret anything in this game, that's not the way to live life. There are so many things that I wish would have gone my way so I could have been in a better position. I hated my OG tribe, less hated NuAnaira, and less less hated Shengli. I felt zero control really in the merge because I was constantly just finding myself in minority any chance I possibly could. I think the main reason I made it as far as I did was my social game with the cast both in my alliance and on the other side. I think I had people bat for me when I was being targeted by others. (Hope trying to get money for my necklace but Hunter refusing comes to mind). I'm not sure if anything I ever would have done would have changed how this game shaped up for me, I think a lot of it was circumstances sorta out of my control, I'm just happy for the game that I played. It wasn't my best but I'm satisfied.

| 3. What criteria do you plan to base your final vote on? |
The only way Liz will likely get my vote is if the other 3 take part in a human sacrifice and off themselves to the gods of the underworld. There are so many flaws in her game that I can't overlook when we have 3 better players next to her in the end.
As for the other 3, I want to keep my mind as open as possible and not rely it based solely on the relationships I may or may not have had with them. I said this on my way out but I genuinely enjoyed talking to them all at one point or another in this game. I want to give them a chance to explain their games to me and tell me why they think they deserve to win. It doesn't matter to me how they specifically played (physical, strategic, social, etc) just give me good reasons.

| 4. Who are you rooting for? Who are you rooting against? |
I think I covered this in the question before but I'll do it again :D
I wouldn't even say I'm rooting against Liz, that would imply she has a shot to win anyways and judging from everyone else's feelings on her I think the only way she will win is that human sacrifice I talked about before.
The other 3 I have no specific order, I really want to see what happens next round to see if I was correct when I went and made my pitches to Woo and Rachel because depending on immunity I think the vote will be Woo vs Rachel and it will be interesting to see who Neal and his double vote decide to bring to the end.

| 5. Which players do you think are playing the best as of right now? |
The fact that no one in that F4 sees Neal as a threat just honestly baffles me. The fact that he can go for a minority at F12 to a majority and not only that but be in the majority with a lot of power is really just impressive. I knew he was a threat but apparently everyone else in the game RN doesn't see it. Woo I sorta saw as Hope's lapdog until she was voted out then he became the master of Rachel. I don't really know his game all that much because we had never really been working together at all so I'm interested to hear how he viewed his game if he were to make it to the end. Rachel I saw sorta as Hunter's lapdog until he left and then she really came into her own for 1 round and then blew it and jumped into Woo's lap. I'm really pissed off the way she handled Nick's boot round, everything she did that wrong was just very poorly done including her decision to not force rocks and remain having power. I'll still give her a chance to explain herself though.
I said it before but what a goddess that photo of Rita is. I loved playing as her, I think I showed the true social goddess she never was in Fiji. I think my votes against are off, should be 7 but it's okay Brett you are the best host <3. I said it in my confessional but I'll say it again here, thank you to the hosts for casting me and following me a
Lóng on my journey. Also to the PWs who actually looked in my confessional even though I don't think many did the last few rounds. RUDE. Thanks to Dreamz and Shawna (aka my mom) for having me on the podcast and sorry I couldn't think of a story to top the pocket pussy from last season. To the jury, thank you for the support I came to see when I got her. I knew I had a little support but I didn't know I had as much as I did and the very kind words you said about me and my game really touched my heart. I love you all. Hurricane Rita out.
