Hey Heidi! Congrats girl! I'm very happy that you were able to make it to the end! Since we didn't talk all that much, I don't think I know you that well to be honest. Some occasional messages between us... and really that was it. My question is..what was you're biggest move in the game and do you think you deserve this spot in the final two more so than Jenna?
Good luck, and it was a pleasure playing with you in the game!

Hey Heidi! Congrats girl! I'm very happy that you were able to make it to the end! Since we didn't talk all that much, I don't think I know you that well to be honest. Some occasional messages between us... and really that was it. My question is..what was you're biggest move in the game and do you think you deserve this spot in the final two more so than Jenna? Good luck, and it was a pleasure playing with you in the game! Thanks Joanna, it was great to play with you as well! Yeah, we definitely started the line of communication on the late side, but it was tricky with all the giant alliance threads we had going. I think I had a few big moves in the game...the biggest one was winning immunity in the vote with all the idol chaos/fear. Not having to worry about what was going to happen that round was huge for me and it clinched my position within the women's alliance and gave Jeanne and I an advantage heading into the final rounds where the women would start turning on each other. I'm sure if I had lost that immunity, it would've been me going home instead of Shawna, so that was huge for me. I also think being extremely loyal to my allies was also something that worked in my favour. I know it's not a 'move' per se, but it is a strategy, and that was what I wanted to do. There were so many strong players throughout this game that if I made myself stand out and become more 'on' people's radars, I would've been in trouble. I knew that was the case when the merge happened and I got votes the first time through. I needed to appear to be more like a palm tree and less like a giant lighthouse that should be targeted. It may not be the 'sexy' way to play, but I figure I'm sexy enough and I could take a step back and let everyone else eat each other and I'll just ride the wave to the finals. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I definitely considered it my strategy coming into this game. I appreciate the question though, and I hope that once this is all said and done, we can figure out how well you actually do know me!

Just so you know Heidi, I did know exactly what I was doing during the tribal I was voted off. I voted Jenna on the off shot that she didn't end up having an idol at all. I certainly didn't want to vote against you (like I told you) because you, me, and Jeanne were in that little alliance. At that point, Jenna was more of a threat than you. I rather have Jenna out than you.
Also, the only real reason why you won that immunity is because I used my 'cripple a player' power on Ryan and you happen to get in 2nd place that time around. Had I not used it, Ryan would have won immunity yet again. Right?

Had I not used it, Ryan would have won immunity yet again. Right? Yep, absolutely. But I was the only one who had a shot at winning the immunity even after you used the cripple a player, no one else would've been close enough to catch him. And I agree that Jenna was a bigger threat than me at that point, heck, I'm pretty sure everyone thought I wasn't a threat at all for most of the game, so I get why you voted for her for sure, but for almost the entire game we were all talking about how Jenna had immunity and Jeanne had immunity. I wasn't sure if you were throwing me for a loop or if you were actually going to vote for Jenna. Jeanne assured me that it was better for me to vote for you than Jenna to keep the two of us both in the game, and it ended up being the right move.

Sorry, that doesn't make any sense at all. By voting for me, it gave us both a better shot at staying in the game? Or do you mean you and Jeanne? and she would never tell you to vote for me, as she and I had a final 2 alliance. From what I remember, she told you to do what your guts tell you to do.

Yeah, sorry, I meant Jeanne. Yeah, she didn't explicitly state that I should vote for you, but after the fact she had said that I had made the right decision. But no, I will clarify she did not say, "vote for Joanna" in that round.
