Congrats on making the merge!

Just a few questions now that we're at a turning point.

1. Who is your closest ally? Do you plan to go to the end with them?

2. Who would you say is the biggest overall threat remaining? Strategic? Social? Physical?

3. Who do you want out next?

4. What's your strategy from here on out? How do you plan on making it to the finals?

5. Which cast members do you think deserves to make All Stars? Why?

1. Who is your closest ally? Do you plan to go to the end with them?

I would say Jay is right now. He's got the idol and has been very open to me about his plans. But best of all, his social game has been deplorable and he seems to enjoy lying to people before they leave, which leaves them bitter in the Jury. He'd be the absolute best person to go to the end with.

2. Who would you say is the biggest overall threat remaining? Strategic? Social? Physical?

This can come in many flavors but at the moment... I would say Judd. The reason why Judd ranks over the more obvious people is because I doubt he'd want me anywhere near the end. He's a smart player and has a brain in that head of his, so he's got to know keeping me around isn't the best thing to improve his chances.

3. Who do you want out next?

Eliza or Mike. I want to cut an Outcast off I have no connection with. I want to keep Coach around. He is an enemy and a huge threat. But keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

4. What's your strategy from here on out? How do you plan on making it to the finals?

Continue my networking strategy. I have tabs on Ted & Jay. I have tabs on Kourt. I need tabs on Coach and at least one other Outcast. With my position in the game and a number of "sides" wanting to go after each other, I could put myself in a situation where people simply can't afford to go after me. I can't let any side get too powerful nor let anyone get Pagong'd. Ideally, I'd like to have a small handful of each side towards the end of this game so everyone would be so focused on wiping out the enemy and let me slip into the end with them.

5. Which cast members do you think deserves to make All Stars? Why?

Can't really say. Mike seems like a dud to me, but he may have this gigantic Diary Room filled shocking information. I'd say the obvious choices right now are Coach, Ted and Kourtney since they really stand out compared to the rest of the cast.
