Hi

[Ryan Buckingham]

Estelle, did GM ultimately get voted out because she didn't give me my money back?

If you say no, why did you get all butt hurt about me voting GM out then?

If you say yes, then I will smile.



Dom, whats worse. Quitting a game, self evicting, or modeling after season 3 Dixie?

[Dixie Crawford]

*Evicted not voted out

[Dominic Briones]

Which is worse?

Pulling a Kalia.

Quitting. Though, isn't self-evicting a form of quitting? Both suck, but it all depends on the circumstances.

You probably just lost Ryans vote for answering logically

HEY RYAN

Yes.

Ultimately she was evicted because she didn't give you your money back (that's what prompted you to vote her out, yes?). The only other reason would be because Dom randomly voted unexpectedly.

However I think I was butthurt cuz I was a baby, but also because from my perspective she legitimately had your back so I thought it was in our best interest to keep her.

That is all.

Thank you!

If Dixie didn't self evict, do you still make the finals?

Estelle do you still take Dom to finals?

[Estelle Landy]

Hmm that's a good question.

The only reason I devoted myself to Dominic is because I thought Dixie/Rhian wanted to self-evict basically. If they didn't want to, I can't say for sure that I would have wanted F2 with Dominic, but if Dixie had been telling me the entire time that she wanted to self-evict, and then came to me at F3 saying she didn't want to self-evict, then I still would have taken Dominic to the F2 because that's what I had been planning for. I wasn't going to change my mind on impulse.

Example: when Dixie/Rhian both wanted to stay at the F5, I still stayed true to Dominic because that's what I had been planning for. However, if they never told me they didn't want to be at the end, would I ever have planned to go F2 with Dominic? I probably would have aimed to go to the F2 with Dixie for trolling (but if she wanted to win, I don't think she would have trolled). But at that point I already had my F2 with Dominic and a) wanted to stay loyal to it, and b) didn't want to send a pissed off juror to the jury house.

Ultimately, it depends. If I had already told Dominic I would go F2 with him, I would stay loyal to it for the reasons stated above.

If Dixie had won final HoH, I expected her to take Estelle to the finals, but I still saw this as my best option, to trust that either myself or Estelle could win the final HoH if for some reason Dixie wasn't just "playing for fun." I also wasn't 100% sold that Estelle was a guaranteed final 2, but I had to put my trust somewhere, so I gave it to Estelle, and she didn't fall through.

As the game wound down to jury, I saw Estelle and possibly Talla as the two who would actually take me to the end. I was more wary about Talla though and even had my doubts that maybe Estelle was secretly with Dixie. Still, at final 5, I knew Talla winning wasn't the worst that could happen. As I said, I promised Talla safety in final 4 if she kept me safe in final 5. I did briefly consider actually doing that... A) because it was literally the only bargaining chip I had, and I felt that, if I had to play it, I would (regardless of whether I was going to stick to the deal). And B) Because I still recognized that Talla might be someone I could have to rely on taking me to the finals.

Not that I'm complaining, but there was a real good chance I should have won final 4 PoV. Shir made a comment that there was no way to "prepare" for the challenge, so I went ahead and did the challenge, knowing full well that my chart of the seasons happenings wasn't with me. I could have really used this chart to shave time off my score. I still came in 2nd place, even without that chart. Had this happened, I would have been in a really interesting spot. I could have evicted Dixie over Talla, basically setting myself up for potentially making the final 2 regardless (assuming Talla would have taken me and kept her deal she insisted she was going to keep). However, I didn't win, and so I was forced to rely on Dixie, which, worked out the way it was supposed to. I also knew Talla was a potential jury threat though, so I can't say with certainty what I would have done at that point. It would have been very hard to break my bond with Dixie who had, to that point, shown loyalty to me on a few occasions.

In summary, would I have taken different paths to get to the final 2 if I could have? Probably. But when I met road blocks, I took detours, and was always mindful of what the consequences were. I took a few gambles, and I feel like they paid off.
