What is the move you were most proud of in the first 23 days?
The superfan in me was PROUD.
ROMEO ESCOBAR:Two parts.

I did that by having a final two deal with all my tribemates and never getting caught!
For post-merge, going from top to bottom was hard!
I became the “in case” person.

“In case” the real target has an idol, vote for Romeo.
“In case” the real target’s Shot in the Dark works, vote for Romeo.
“In case” the real target has an advantage, vote for Romeo.
I was with Omar when he found it.
I knew that I could no longer work with them.
This, in addition to keeping playing!
MARYANNE OKETCH:There were so many non-game related interactions!
Too many to count!
I think I can highlight two interactions that I had.
The first was every moment that I spent with Tori!
Tori was my best friend on that island, and we would always crack laughs, and reference vines!
Every day on the island was a blessing!
Also, I had so much fun with Omar!
Omar and I are both superfans, and we would just talk about past seasons while playing the game!
ROMEO ESCOBAR:I would say our pre-merge days at Ika.
Helping Rocksroy build the shelter.
Going to look for tarot with Drea because she was allergic to coconuts.
My pageant talks with Tori as she competed in pageants before and I do pageant coaching.
The day we all went out crabbing and looking for food was a blast.
When Rocksroy caught an octopus and I cooked it for the tribe.
Those were my favorite non-game interactions.
We were not always fighting.
JONATHAN YOUNG:This is a hard one because when you are in the game, everything becomes game-related.
However, in the early part of the game, the Taku tribe became very close.
We would share some in-depth stories about our lives and personal experiences.
It was all very surreal.
LINDSAY DOLASHEWICH:Honestly, I had so many great non-game related interactions with people throughout this game.
I had the best time of my life out there.
One moment that stands out in my memory was going out fishing for clams with Rocksroy.
At this point in the game, I did not get a true opportunity to bond with Rocks.
We found two GIANT clams!
What was your lowest moment out there over the first 23 days?
Fortunately, Lindsay wins the challenge and took me on the best reward of the season!
MARYANNE OKETCH:The lowest moment for me was the two nights after Tori went home.
ROMEO ESCOBAR:When I realized I had gone from being CEO at Ika to janitor at Kula Kula.
It was my lowest moment out there.
It got pretty rough after day 20.
I had spent a lot of my energy trying to collect and catch food for myself and everyone else.
At this point, I was running on fumes.
My servant / leader role worked, but definitely took a toll mentally and physically.
LINDSAY DOLASHEWICH:The lowest moment I had in the game was losing the Do or Die challenge.
MIKE TURNER:Undoubtedly the biggest threat to win the game of the 6 in the jury was Omar!
At that point, I would have bowed and praised him on what a magnificent he played game!
MARYANNE OKETCH:Omar.
He was the person behind every vote, and had great relationships with everyone, including me!
ROMEO ESCOBAR:I would say Omar.
He had everyone fooled.
No one knew he was playing all sides and making alliances with all of us!
I even had a final three deal with him!
It wasn’t until his lies came to light that we realized we had to vote him out.
I had noticed that Omar was pulling a lot of strings and had alliances with everyone.
He had such strong social game and could communicate with everyone.
I knew the jury would look at him as a top pick.
LINDSAY DOLASHEWICH:Drea was the biggest threat in my eyes.
She has this aura about her that is magnetic that makes you gravitate to her.
I respect strong women, and she is a very strong independent woman.
I assumed everyone else felt this vibe from her as well.
Plus, she was locked and loaded with advantages!
What a resume to have.
