Hello final three, if any of you are wondering, I'm okay now.
I don't have anything to say to any of you, but I do have a question
Tell me some big moves you made, then give me a reason to vote for you!

I do believe that a game isn't necessarily won by making big moves. Nothing can beat Jake's Idol of Burden play in my opinion but i did make moves behind the scenes.
It may have seemed that all I did was win immunity to keep myself safe, but in a game with so many good players, that in itself, is a big move. Everytime I won immunity I saved myself from going home, but the other side of that coin is the fact that the target on my back got bigger and bigger which meant I also had to step up my game behind the scenes.
I made sure that winning immunity challenges did not just benefit myslf but those I trusted as well, an example of this was when I won the chance to send someone to exile, giving them immunity from the vote and a chance at the Idol of Burden. I know certain people were very upset at this move, but it came down to the fact that both Charlie and I were the names floating around so I made sure that he was safe. Call that selfish if you will, but I was, at that time, aligned with him and I did what I had to to make sure he didn't go that week.
Another example was giving Tayne immunity when I won a challenge and was alredy safe. I had no alliance with Tayne at the time, but he was the only other one to play so I felt he deserved to be safe as well. This led to Tayne returning the favour later in the game, purely out of the blue, I had no idea he would do it, and I never asked him to, but I do appreciate it, thank you Tayne. This led to Tayne and I connecting and actually developing a better relationship in my eyes.
I think my biggest move was finding and playing the Ultimate Idol at f6. The only way to claim the idol was, in fact, to get at least half the tribe to post a phrase at tribal council. So not only did I have to solve clues to find the idol, I had to build relationships to get at least half the tribe onboard to claim it. I put my trust in many people to do that, and appreciate their trust in me to use it wisely at the right time.
I also believe that I played the game strategically and socially, by building relationsips with other players and making decisions based on where I felt I sat within an alliance each and every week. I made decisions based on what was my best option going forward and once I chose a side I remained loyal to that side.
An example of this is the vote, everyone thought it was personal and were willing to vote him out, but I already knew that Ci'ere, Charlie and Jon had a tight 3 so I saw no benefit in that for me. I also knew there were cracks in Bradley's alliance, therefore I took a chance on Bradley, knowing he had more than enough people aligned with him that he didn't really need me on side. I don't regret making that move and do believe it was the perfect time to change the game up. This move actually gave Bradley and I a chance to connect, although I do think we were on different pages, we worked together well in my eyes.
At the end of the day, I played the game for fun, had no expectations to make it to the end so had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I have challenged myself on all three levels, ventured outside my comfort zone, and am happy to say that I have met some really great people in this game and hopefully made some really great friends in the process.
I guess keeping the idol of Burden and the idol that I played on Lilly a secret was kind of a big move
Also playing them both directly results in eliminations the round I did play them
Those were kinda big moves, so hey
