Hey guys, guess I'll kick things off! First of all CONGRATS! You both played great games and are very deserving blah blah blah you get the deal I'll try and keep this short because I really don't have much to say lol. For the most part I will be observing how you answer everyone else's questions.
Zach, I'm sorry I shot down your idea of calling the Sinister Six alliance Big Hero 6 (one of my biggest regrets)
Nick, I had fun poking fun at you throughout the season and I'm sure you did too. It was a pleasure working with you for once though!
All I'd really like to know is where I truly stood with regard to your games. I never once thought either of you would take me to the end but if I had survived my eviction, how far were you willing to take me?
Finally, I think it would be fun for each of you to ask the other person a question (a serious one) regarding their game. Try to stump them Join in on the jury fun! lawl

tysm for keeping it short you are a Godsend~ I am not comfortable enough doing a video so unfortunately 4 you, and 4 me, you'll have 2 read
I enjoyed working with you a lot. Funny thing is, when we first got our houses, I looked at it and picked you as the person I wanted gone most from it. But then we got to talking and you really made me do a 180 on you. You became a top ally for me and we eventually aligned to the same people.
I think you pretty much summed up why you left when you did. As you just said "I never once thought either of you would take me to the end." I felt that, and felt it from you as well. Nick and I had gone into discussion that we wanted to turn on the Sinister Six before they turned on us and it was imperative at least one of you four left during that couples round. Obviously now I learned you had a foursome with the trio, so my gut was definitely right that I needed to cut one of you guys. The goal that round was to get out Sofia had she stayed on the block. I felt that you and Sofia had a final 2 alliance ever since week 2 during my HoH. I learned you guys were very close during my reign that week. That is what prompted me to start the alliance of 6. Then Heaven would talk to me and say how much she trusted you and Sofia over Nick and Ryan. It just highlighted how valued the trio (uno) felt of you. On a personal level I wanted to get out Ryan more than you, but I felt you were much closer to Sofia and she needed to be weakened. She was the ideal boot that week but since she had all the answers to the veto, you got screwed. HAD you stayed, I don't really know how deep we could have gone. I wanted to surround myself with people who would consider taking me deep and possibly to the end and I felt, especially based on your infamous betrayal of Shilpa in S9, you would most certainly cut me. It really depended how the other boots shaped up but you were someone I trusted enough to at least go to single digits with. Who knows what discussions we could have had at that point? But I'm guessing you would have looked at me like a Shilpa.
I guess my question to Nick would be: Nick, you claim your game is superior because the other players were targeting me and not targeting you. You said in your video that they (which mostly sounded like you were describing Candice) were coming to you to try and work your vote whereas they wanted me gone. That statement implies you were safer than me because you were working it for it to be that way and that I was a constant target. Yet to contrast that, you were on the block 5 times post veto compared to myself being there once. My main question is do you think you'd have survived all of those times on the block and be here in the final two if not for my help? I know you did a lot of work to save yourself and I DO NOT want to discredit that in front of the Jury. I really did like your fight and respect your game. But I impacted and helped you stay in various rounds. I'd argue I had a good impact to help you stay every round except the time we were up together against Memphis. Do you think I'd not be here if not for you in the similar way I feel you would not be here without me?
It is so difficult to quote audio! I'm just gonna get this out of the way right now because there is nothing I can do to combat it. I think the fact Nick is doing video responses puts me at a disadvantage. I know from experience that when a player posts them in games Prediction Writers immediately fawn over them. Because you suddenly realize, wow this is a REAL person. So obviously Nick, I think the Jurors are going to connect with you more because I think I would too. I would suddenly realize you're an actual person and not just a character behind text. Good on you for it and continue to do it as you please, but I ask if you are going to talk to me to do it in text so I can quote it. But I don't really think we have much to say to eachother.
My comment on you being up five times was merely to showcase you were not safer than I was. (Which was something you said in your opening) Because how could you be safer than me if nominated all the time? It wasn't a knock at you being on the block all the time. I think the fact you saved yourself all the time on the block while I kept myself off the block balance eachother out. Whether it was winning a competition or my social game, I put in the same effort to keep myself safe. Obviously my question was meant to highlight why I think my game was better lol but no I was not trying to discredit you in front of everyone when it came to the block. I agree you did a lot to save yourself and I have admitted to you that I did really like your game. But there is no denying I helped you stay. Your opening statement immediately went on the defensive regarding me and I am defending myself in response to it. My question was meant to convey that I do think I'd be here without you. I technically never needed you to survive to this point. At least as far as the game went since the reset. That's all I meant by my question!! And ftr I helped Drew not target you in his HoH as well.
No I don't think I would have stayed if on the block post veto. MAYBE at the final 7 or something depending on who I was against. Final 7 was early enough to where people could have risked me staying and not thinking I'd sweep the rest. But I don't think this should be held against me. As I said, the trio were my shields. I had the rug pulled under me when they were expelled and revealed as one person. I lost a LOT of my strategy. I did not want the trio to leave 1-2-3 BAM. So when they were removed... I was left a sitting duck. My strategy up until that point was to have the bigger targets remain. I think if I had brought at least 1 trio member to the final 6 I would not have been the number 1 threat. I was not setting the game up to be that final 7. But when it suddenly was? It wasn't terrible because I dominated the rest of the competitions. My toughest competition was Boog and once she left I really didn't think I'd lose. Yeah I was nervous but I got deep enough to where I knew I could do it.
