I don’t really have a lot of time to write a long jury speech, but I also don’t really have that many questions. Even though just missing out on FTC stings a bit, I’m really happy for all three of you, and I feel like by the end of this I was close to all three of you, some more than others, so any outcome would be good for me.

Draco: If I’m being honest, when picking tribes round one I kinda picked you as fodder, but you were probably the biggest surprise for me on our OG tribe. I feel like we just bonded so well together and I was so sad we were separated the rest of the game until merge. Your game to me is probably the least flashy? But tbh that’s not really important to me and I feel like you have showed a lot of self-awareness on this FTC so I’m glad to see.

Mirabella: our journey together is honestly so funny to me. Even though I obviously really liked you pre-tribes, we never were together and then at the beginning of the merge we literally had zero game talk, but then we decided to take some initiative and our relationship flourished so much. Like at times you were probably the person I trusted the most, a lot of it because we needed each other, but even then I feel like our relationship was like 90% social as you said. I’m so glad we were able to link up together even if it was really late in the game!

Ron: Ronald <3 I’m so proud of you for having made it this far, even though it would have been cute if it was both of us here, but we probably knew the chances of that happening were slim. I think you have a tough road ahead of you which is unfortunae because I think your game is severely underrated, but jury management is important and the consensus seems to be that is where you really lacked (I can’t relate to that sentiment though).

I’ve been keeping up with most of this FTC and I really don’t know what to ask. I guess, if you were to win this season, how do you think you would be remembered? Idk if I think of anything else I’ll ask later!

Good luck all three of you and ily!

LOL, I'm surprised I was fodder at first, only cause I thought I was pretty into my character, but I remember us hitting it off pretty immediately. You really made a huge impression right away and I was sweating about you when you were on that tribe 4-1. I always felt like our mentality of working together was "you do you, I'll do me but I won't do you, and you won't do me" and that's a great ally in my eyes! I don't think its flashy and out right the braggyiest... I still think I deserve the win and think my game was great but I'd rather be humble an have an open and honest conversation about what went down and what it was like from my end. I hope that through a few more answers and my closing statement that I can turn the tides and gain your vote, cause I'd love it!

When I win this season I'll be remembered for approaching this game as Draco and turning it into a Draco arc (that would have been kind of dull for 7 books) but ultimately if JK Rowling started writing the series and decided to end at Chamber of Secrets, I think his change of heart and arc would have had to happen still, Draco is one of my favorite characters and Slytherin is my favorite house personally! I have a Slytherin jersey that I've worn through out the game and in real life (I also have legit 6 wands from Noble Collections, the Marauders Map and the Prophecy!)

I started this game in from my perspective a driver's a seat, I felt a little hot headed early on and later on I took a blow that wasn't a blow to worsen my game but put me in check: On our original tribe I think its safe to say that the Weasleys, you and I were probably in the better positions with that 9 that started. I think being that strong in character presence that could break down into real conversations was refreshing. Draco let me be assertive and speak openly and its not as if I didn't have a filter, but I was making bolder statements and okay with making enemies.

By the time we swapped, I think I toned the character back just a bit, especially to deal with Dudley. Fred and I were already at the numbers disadvantage, I really liked Mira from our pregame chat and I also went for the Gryffendor idol, so I was able to click, but I was still hot headed, Snape and I argued with one another constantly and we were both "bad guys" so we had to both get in the last word so it'd never end (most of the time I'd just try and get him confused so he'd stop talking) I had scored that point by lying to Snape, subsequently losing an ally and when it was time to swap a second time, Snape made sure it was awkward.

I didn't trust Snape, Amos or Gilderoy moving forward (despite liking GL) so it was an easy decision to immediately plot an Amos/Snape vote and I was moving forward with Newt/Mira/Ron, to meet up with Fred/Maxime and then also reconnecting with Pomfrey/Cormac meanwhile, hopefully keep Gilderoy in check since he seemed to be palling around with Ron/Draco so well! Hell, everyone even seemed to like Angelina, I figured I 'd know exactly what she'd be up to just through the game of telephone. I thought I had my ducks in a row, I thought I crossed my T's and dotted my i's. I was like, "My friends are friends with everyone this is going to be cake" and those first few rounds were a check for me... not as if my game was bad, but I was worried. I wasn't in the know and was lied to by both set of allies. I think it was because of that distrust and pushing my own agenda for so long... I was like, "Damn, I need to tone it back." With my work schedule and my dad's illness, I was already devoting a huge chunk of my schedule to what was happening personally and immediately, I couldn't be that hot head anymore in the game and I took that failure of the first few rounds of my merge game and tried to change for the better. I feel like even though Amos was my long time foe, and I think even after a small bit with him, I changed my attitude towards him.

I became more friendly and dropped my defense, spoke more honestly about the game. I still wanted to be Draco, but I wanted to treat everyone how they deserved it, we were a REALLY awesome cast and we all got along so well together. (I think the cast altogether, how random some votes were, how the majority wasn't always unanimous, or sometimes 4 or 3 were the majority of votes.) I started expanding my options and horizons and by mid merge I think I emerged as an independent floater. I still had my alliances, I still had my connections but people either saw me as a random vote, I call it a free thinker after being lied to and misinformed for the previous votes! I knew what options I needed to keep available to get me to the end, and I kept those options alive the entire game... I think my game could be stronger had my plans been executed more thoroughly... I'd have liked to see Cormac and you in the final 4, but I think it only credits my game that I was able to try and pursue other options with you and still be able to make it to the end, because my path was clear. I knew people wanted to take me to the end and as long as they were around, lets keep rolling!

I think that Draco Malfoy will be remembered for the story arc, we managed to condense 7 books (or 8 depending on the play) and 8 movies into 1 season of Survivor, Draco came into this game a villain, a bad boy and overall hot head thinking I'm better and I left a lot more down to earth, a lot more myself and full of respect for my peers instead and my favorite part is this wasn't something I had to learn NOW during the FTC, it was something I learned during the game, something that I'm proud to stand by now. I think I'm the most deserving, if we pardoned the perception of my activity in the game, I think it'd speak volumes and I think you all can see I was here, I never self voted, participated in every challenge (even if i was last in many) and was always making sure Cedric knew my schedule to work with the game. I think I really played this game a little like Sandra and Fabio, Sandra with her challenge performance and her attempts at different paths while ultimately making it to the end still, and Fabio for not always being in the know, but still staying true to himself and moving forward, not listening to the negativity because I've got a game to win on the line! I can't let the negativity get to me! I made a complete change of heart and it was absolutely for the better. And that's how I'll be remembered.

(I'll also be remembered for not reading up on idols as much, I feel like everyone got kinda annoyed by how confused I was with items and polyjuice potions etc.... I admit that its strategy to separate myself from idols after pursuing the Gryffendor one, but I ended up getting my polyjuice potions ingredients with Ron and Mira and Angelina anyway so :P I don't think thats important but funny)

Good luck all three of you and ily!

I really hope this helped Pomfrey, I want your vote and I want the win. I think here I touched up on my game a little more start to finish and think that could be an important factor. If there's anything else you need, please let me know and I'd love to answer!! Ily2! Lets watch some Black Mirror and drink 5 parts vodka afterwards

I strongly agree with all of this <3

I said this elsewhere, but I really think it's a credit to both of our games that we were able to be flexible and had good enough social games that we could form a new relationship so late in the game that we both grew to trust and rely on. It was awesome that we were able to eventually find each other and work together based on personal chemistry despite being swapped away from each other every time. Goes to show that tribe lines don't have to mean everything if you have a good enough social game.

I’ve been keeping up with most of this FTC and I really don’t know what to ask. I guess, if you were to win this season, how do you think you would be remembered? Idk if I think of anything else I’ll ask later!

First off, I think I would be remembered. I'm sure there is precedent somewhere, but it's rare that someone playing as visibly and with as unorthodox a style as I did makes it to FTC let alone wins a game. I didn't hide, I didn't play it safe. And I devoted 100% to every aspect of this game whether it was social game, strategic game, challenges, idol finding or even confessionals. I was a big character that was involved at the centre of pretty much every main storyline of the season and I used some crazy and unbelievable strategies that I certainly hadn't seen used before in ORGs.

If I am fortunate enough to win I can imagine a world where people say "Did you hear about the fish that held onto a public idol for more than two weeks and then used a bunch of fake items to win Enchanted?" I had a crazy and unique arc in this game and whether or not I manage to win, I'm going to be very proud of that. I think and hope that I've made some people rethink the conventional wisdom of what we consider to be a good or bad strategic game in an ORG. And I really hope I've been able to introduce some new tactics that get used more in future games, especially those regarding fake items and coming into games with pre-Day 1 plans ready to be implemented.

I think I would be seen as a creative and unique winner. Someone who fought fiercely and tirelessly after being targeted early and often. Someone who played a complete game. Someone who played pretty honorably despite all my schemes - I tried not to give people false hope or be vindictive, because I realize this is just a game and I want everyone to have a positive experience even if they weren't on my side of the vote.

I have a ton of respect for this cast, it's been a great season with a lot of fantastic players and I feel really fortunate to be here when there are so many people who would have been deserving finalists. I think there have been a lot of parts of this season that will be looked back at fondly regardless of who wins. But if I'm fortunate enough to be chosen I will be incredibly proud that I got to play a central role in this season.
