Who do you hold most accountable for your vote-off?
I know the cliche answer is "myself", but like, I don't think I made mistakes I could've anticipated? IDK lmao. It was my fault in the sense that I just pandered to the wrong person. In the game though? Brady, and I'm sure he manipulated Shon, which more power to him. I thought 3 votes were on Ryan so that even if Brady had an idol, my game wasn't in danger. This plan I feel like was also so last minute there wasn't tooooo much I could do.

What do you think the cause of your vote-off was?
I think Brady realized how much pull I had in the game, and thought that I was the sole uniting factor between the trios, and that once I was gone, the game would be more of a free for all and that he could wiggle in with one of the trios. The assumption was correct-ish, but not enough to help him survive live night. 

How organized was your plan to get the target off your back?
To the people who I knew could read people very well, or who I knew I couldn't trust, I tried to pretend like I was an absolute goat. It worked. But to    the people I knew I could trust and who wouldn't vote me off no matter what, I allowed them to see the real me. I think it was very organized. Technically, the plan worked with majority of people, and I thought that even if a few people caught onto my game, that I would have enough protection to where it wouldn't matter. Too bad the person who caught onto me happened to have the idol, and they happened to play the idol and happened to vote me. It really was a series of unfortunate events for me.

Who are your rooting for?
On a personal level, I am rooting for Bodhi, Trevor, Boosh, and even Travis. However, I am a believer that everyone deserves a chance, so in that sense I am rooting for everyone.

Who are you rooting against?
NOBODY! I am not vindictive at all. 

Who was your end-goal final 3?
Definitely some combination of Boosh, Bodhi, and Travis. I sorta wanted Trevor until I saw the idol incident (will discuss in upcoming question) I think they would've all taken me to the end no matter what. I think even if they realized I was a threat, I had established such a close personal bond that it wouldn't have mattered.

Why do you think you went over someone like Ryan?
I think the reason I left in general is because Brady is one of the few who realized the type of pull I had on this game. I was the uniting factor between certain members of the trios, and I think he felt like me leaving would mean the trios were no longer united by a common cause, and that they would turn against eachother and that he would be able to survive the live night. The plan ultimately failed, but I do believe that was his rationale. He feared the black widow more than the lion.

Do you think they made the right decision?
I don't think there was a right decision for Brady, but I feel like me leaving gave him the most potential. Now that Brady is gone, I do feel sort of upset though in the sense that me leaving truly was in vain.

What was your reaction to first seeing the cast?
Intimidated!!!! I didn't feel like I compared in terms of gameplay. I think I proved I did, even if the rug was yanked from under my feet.

What was your favorite moment in the game?
Growing close to people I wasn't close to before this game. If there's anything I want out of a game if I can't win, it's to have that.

Which moment did you hate the most?
Typing this questionnaire. LMAO jk! Probably the moment I saw Shon, Billy, and Trevor on the season 4 board searching for the idol without me. I feel like I was SUPER observant in noticing they were ONLY on the season 4 board, and this proved I was no dummy when Trevor confirmed my suspicions. LMAO. Rather that or when I temporarily lost Bodhi's trust for one round. I eventually earned it back, but the round that I know I didn't have it sorta sucked because it was built on lies.

Did you last longer than you anticipated or the opposite?
If you asked me if I lasted longer than I anticipated before the season, the answer would've been yes. I didn't think I had a shot in hell at jury with this all-star cast. If you asked me during the game, or at the beginning of the merge, or even 24 hours ago, I would've said no. I REALLY feel like the rug was yanked from my feet.

If there was anything you could go back and change, what would it be?
Knowing what I know now in the jury, I REALLY do think I made all the right choices in terms of who I aligned with, who I trusted, and even my plan to set myself up moving forward. I think my chances of getting to the end had I not been idoled out were greater than anyone else in the cast. The only thing I could've done differently is maybe make sure Billy was ACTUALLY putting his vote on Ryan. I sort of assumed, which is why I thought that even if there was an idol, I would be fine. I assumed wrong. I looked at every possibility and thought I had a plan for it, but within 5 minutes of tribal council, the planning changed, so not much I can do.
    
What move are you most proud of accomplishing?
Not necessarily any moves, but I am the most proud of how observant I was, and how I was able to set myself up. I am still super proud about how I was able to sniff out the merge idol scenario, and my position in the game due to the fact that people only searched the season 4 board. I don't feel like an idiot could've figured that out, so that has to say SOMETHING about me. Besides that, I am proud of how I was able to get most people to underestimate me while I knew

What are you accounting when it comes to the decision for your jury vote?
A combination of who I like the most and gameplay. If there are multiple people I like in the finale, I will vote the one with the best case. If there's one person I like in the finale up against 2 people I'm on the fence about, I'm not afraid to say I'd vote the one I like. It's my vote I do what I want. LMAO

Is there anyone in the game that doesn't deserve to still be there?
Nope, I grew close to the supposed "goats" because of our "goat" pact to the end, and I learned that NOBODY is a goat. Everyone is doing what they do on purpose, for a reason!!. I just hope they make the moves they hyped us up making together, just without me. Finish my legacy, children.




CHRISTEN, OUT!
