Jeff I wanted to be the flashiest winner ever, playing a Tony like game. For half of the game I controlled what happened. I made some huge fuckin moves, and was on the right voting side almost every vote. Stranded was a blast! I got so much more invested than I thought I would. I'm super disappointed I didn't pull out the win, I think I would have been one of the best winners you guys have seen if I did. I'll fill in more of these questions once I mull over it a bit more, but I would absolutely come back in a heart beat.

No ill will against anyone personally. Except Missy. Loved Nad, Reed, Jenn on a personal level they were all really amazing people.
Dan and John were hilarious. Jac was cool, Joaq is a really great dude super smart. Dale eh.
Everyone is playing too soft, and I think the pre-merge was much crazier than the post-merge. We could easily end up with like a Val-Jac-So F3 where none of them did anything to deserve to win. I hope Joaq or Reed make it, they have my votes. Nad is playing great too. I need to focus on when I choose to share info, and do less talking and more listening. If I did that, hands down would have won.

#5553 For some players, they underplay and learn the lesson that they need to play harder when they return. I think for you, you played just fine, the problem was that you were too arrogant to see a potential blindside coming and I think that if you correct that and ALWAYS assume it's you, you will be able to play stronger.

Accurate assessment. I feel like I made small blunders in controlling information. If I was more consistent in choosing when to share info and when to hold my tongue, people would trust me slightly more. I wanted to go in and bathe in the blood, controlling the whole game. In the future if I return, I need to maintain that control, but pawn off the threat to people that I use as shields. I kind of tried to play a Big Brother game on a Survivor Org, and although entertaining as hell, could have been smarter about it.
