Ok. So.... The more I think about it, the more I realize that I am not completely out of this thing. Elyse would beat anyone including me. Jenny would probably beat anyone but Elyse. Everyone else I have time to build a resume against still. Emily is on my radar, and Jack is targeting me so he can gtfo already lol
Objectively, no one has had a harder trek to this point in the game than I have. People have flat out refused to work with me out of fear and paranoia, my name has been thrown out round after round, and yet I have not had a single vote cast against me at final 8. (I have a feeling that could change tonight, but as long as I survive that's what matters most.)
Strategically, I made a person that should want me out of this game, someone that I tried to vote out and lied to multiple times, my greatest ally. Elyse is the biggest target in this game, and a great shield for me. She tells me lots of game information and protects me. It doesn't hurt that I absolutely adore her as a human as well. However, if someone else got her out she would be a credible source vouching for me on the jury. I could never vote her myself, on a personal level it would hurt too much, and on a strategic level it just would not make sense for my game. I know she'd be mad at me, and if she were on the jury she'd be the one person I know 100% would be rooting for me there, so burning that bridge would be moronic.
There is an underdog story here to be told, as long as I can get there to tell it. Sam broke my trust multiple times, so I helped get rid of her. Jack is targeting me, so if I can play a hand in him going that's another positive for me.
Someone could always ask me what I have done in this game without Elyse, and that's a fair question, but I think the bigger picture is that I voted Elyse out and the only reason she survived is because of an idol, and then I got her to turn around almost immediately and want to work with me and trust me fully. That says something about my game and my social abilities. I picked the right people at the right time. Had I not picked Elyse the round Silas went, there would have never been the votes to get Sam the next round, and Sam was the most dangerous player here. Without me, and without my decisions, Sam would still be here and would have probably won this entire thing.
Things might not have always gone how I wanted them to in this game, but I have always adapted and bounced back. No one else has been tested round after round like I have, and not only have I survived, but I have also not gotten a single vote. Emily and I are the only two people left in this game that can say that. I've proven to be adaptable, and strong, and capable. I'm not out of this thing yet, and I have game left in me to play.
