Mirabella- You played an idol last round that only negated one vote for you. Talk us through the decision to play it. Do you feel some pressure lifted off of you now that you can't be seen as a threat with an idol? Did people know you had the Slytherin one?

I think everyone here would agree that Angelina was a force to be reckoned with and her shadow still looms large over this game. There was always a possibility that she would be able to turn things around when targeted, so I really felt that there was no such thing as playing too safely in a round that it feels could turn out to be very important.

Playing an idol can take pressure off definitely, but it takes a bit of control out of your hands. I have to trust that people will have my back because I don't have a get out of jail free card to use in emergencies. Fortunately there are some people here that have earned my trust and as of right now I don't regret having used the idol last round to ensure some piece of mind on a chaotic vote.

I think it was a reasonably open secret that I was looking for the idol, especially with Angelina telling people she thought I had it, so I doubt there was much shock to see me play it. I likely would have received a lot more votes if no one thought there was a chance I would play it.
