Physical
If you could pick any teammate from a previous season, who would you pick and why?
Connor from High Sierras because he used his brains to play the game, and he's just awesome
Will you rely more on your gut or on strategy?
I will probably rely on my gut, so I can put all my focus on what I am doing right then, rather than having to think about my strategy.
What qualities does it take to become an Endurance champ?
You need to have your heart set on winning Endurance. If you don't even want it, then you will definitely not get it.
Is it ever OK to lie to your opponents to get ahead?
I don't think it's ever okay to lie about anything, but if it absolutely comes down to it and you have NO OTHER options, then you have to do what you have to do. Lying is NEVER right, but I think it is inevitable; it's human nature.

I can get along with strangers very quickly, so making friends and not being hated is my secret weapon.

If you could change one part of the game, what would it be?
