Before I begin I want to congratulate both of you, both of you have made your way to the final and honestly both of you deserved it.
So I will start with day one, I was allocated to Lund tribe in which I made an alliance with William and Mihai, things in Lund were kinda good, I was in the clear majority and had a strong alliance.
After several days the tribe swap and I was allocated to Randers tribe, I was allocated there by my own therefore it was way harder for me to make alliances then for the other tribe members, first I made an alliance with Lef, Max and Blandine, but then realized that it's not an actual alliance as no one trusts anyone there. Meanwhile I already made an actual strong alliance with Blandine, my best friend in the game. A bit later Blandine and I have made an alliance with Alex (I didn't know yet they were allied before). Later the tribes changed again and etc..
Then the merge occurred and my whole Randers alliance survived and we've made a majority alliance in the new tribe which made all of us be safe for the next few votings.
Later I discovered that Blandine and Alex were allied with Julian before they were allied with me, and only at this point of the game I realized I can't really trust anyone here, even those which I've seen as my allies till the end, didn't tell me such an important fact which made me re-consider how much loyal I need to be to my current alliance, and ngl, I was really disappointed that I wasn't aware of the fact, but I could understand both of them for not telling.
After I've realized my position in the game I understood that if plans will continue to be as planned for our alliance (by voting all non-members of the alliance out) I have absolutely no place in the final because I was no preference for anyone in my alliance and they have probably seen me as a goat. So I gathered with Kena, which was planned to be voted out next voting and tried to make him use Marco's idol for him and vote Julian out, because he was clearly in the strongest position in the alliance. I didn't want to get exposed for this move, to still be part of the bigger alliance so they will think that Kena actually made that move and not me, this is for not ruining Blandine's and Alex's trust towards me, because even though they didn't tell me such an important fact which would probably lead me out of the game, I still wasn't able to vote against them and still wanted them to trust me. Kena didn't admit Marco has an idol and I didn't have a way back from voting Julian out, so even if I regretted it in that point I had no choice but to vote against Julian because my plan would have been exposed anyway which would lead to my elimination in one of the next TC's. This move has changed my whole gameplay and later made me seem as a thread by some, from just sticking to alliances and voting with majorities I made a move against my alliance member which is probably the reason I got so far in the game. This move can either be seen as brilliant or extremely stupid, Brilliant, because it was my only chance getting into the final, and stupid, because it was the only opportunity to eliminate Kena, but at this point I didn't know he was such a big threat and therefore didn't take it into account.
Later on I think I did restore Alex's and Blandine's faith in me and thought that things are going as planned and Marco will be voted out next because Kena got immunity again (meanwhile I was supposed to vote with Kena's alliance against Alex), but things didn't go as planned at all, Marco used his idol, and Kena's alliance decided to vote against Blandine instead,one of the reasons was her really close relations with me.
Later on Mihai was idoled out too which made me really want to take revenge against Kena, but it was practically impossible, he either won challenges or used his idol.
Then the 2 final immunity challenges came and I was lucky enough to come second in the first one despite having math finals in the same day, and winning in the 2nd one was really impossible with Kena getting above 30 posts, and it was more than clear to me that I'm the one to be eliminated so close to the final.
I have made such a long road, made great friends, and I'm not regretful about any move I've made in it, and even though I was eliminated so close to the final, I have no hard feelings towards anyone in the game.
Now the questions:
Kena:
- You were clearly the strongest in the challenges since the merge, you were a great strategic if not the best, but Survivor is known for not just a strategic game but as a social one too. You will probably get votes for your great strategy and for your willpower to win the game, but you have clearly made a mistake by admitting to me that all of your allies were goats, unlike mine. Honestly, if my closest ally would admit that I was a goat, I doubt I'd vote for him if he'd reach the final. And I don't think Llemain and Marco are really far from that now, they were sure that they were equal to you and weren't aware of the fact that you used them to get to the final. So, how big so you think the mistake is? Will it affect the winner of Survivor? Do you regret saying it?
Alex:
- I was allied with you from day 6, so I know your gameplay pretty much and I don't have any question about it. I just wanted to know only about what did you feel/think about hiding your alliance with Julian from me, and what you thought would be the outcome if I would discover about it (before I did lol)?
