Hey jury,
I know I haven't played the 'cleanest' or the most loyal game, but I did make hard decisions. I definitely have never played this way before, but I have never gotten past F5 in the past, so I believe it has worked out in my favor.
Some of you I got really close to, others not. All I can say is, I did what I had to do in the game. I have had to make several calls, and personally, I feel like I used my brain more this season then my heart.
Round 2 - Charlie Out
Round 4 - Malcolm Out
Round 6 - JT Out
Round 13 - Danni Out
Those four rounds I had voted out someone who I knew had my back, but there were more positives to be gained from eliminating them and moving forward then trying to save them, even though I tried to get the vote off of JT. To get a TL;DR version of those rounds click below:
----------
--------
I won immunity twice post merge. I believe I only needed it right at the beginning of merge because Jay was afraid of old Luoba working together. I used my social skills and ties to stay safe through each round. And I voted each one of the jurors out except RC/Rory which shows I was in the majority of the tribe most of the time. RC/Rory besides Danni were my main allies and thus I wasn't apart of their demise. To see why I voted Danni out, see above.
I believe I have lived up to the Survivor slogan by OutPlaying (being social/winning immunity twice), Outsmarting (made crucial/hard decisions to further my advancement), and Outlasting. I'm open to any/all questions and I wish you luck with your decision!

----------
Round 2 of original Luoba two groups of 3 had arisen. Tina-Tijuana-Charlie and Malcolm-Tyson-RC. Both Jonas and I had to make a tough call, and although we liked Tina, I chose to vote out Charlie because I thought MTR would be stronger and seemed like the best position to move forward. But Round 4 we lost again, and since Malcolm wasn't on, I felt it was fair that he was voted out since he brought that up in the past. Also, fear of Tyson-Malcolm being really close had emerged and why not kill two birds with two stones? Even though I liked Malcolm, I made the strategic decision to oust him, even though it angered TR greatly.
Swap hit. We lost. Luckily, I had spoken to JT frequently and the first round the vote was put on Tyson. RC and I had rebonded, but we lost again. On a tribe of 6, the vote was split JT/Lisa vs Rory/Jay/RC. Even though I was closer with JT and tried to get the vote on someone else, the only way I saw myself moving forward was to make a deal with Jay and vote out JT. The vote hurt me greatly, but I grew closer to RC/Rory.
Danni, was someone who I worked with almost right as merge had started. She told me things about Jay which angered me. How he only saw me as a number and that I was expendable. I was pissed because he had promised me the world for voting out JT. Anyways, after being told that I need to win immunity, and actually won, Danni and I became close and voted together to get Abi out. But after Danni got rid of Abi, RC, Jay, Lisa, people did not like seeing her with so much control. During the last few rounds I was 'working' with Danni, I felt like my opinions didn't matter. After she tried hardcore to get the vote on Rory, Matt and I had crossed information and both of us were promised things by Danni. Seeing as I couldn't trust her/her actions anymore, I voted against her.
