EDIT: Lol the title can be misread to think I'm breaking down emotionally at FTC. Sorry to disappoint anyone coming in hoping to see me crying hahaha. This is just an explanation of my vote 
Well my vote has been cast for my man BJ. My view on the two of them was this. These two dominated in a particular aspect of the game (social for BJ and physical for Sierra respectively). So, in the end, it came down to who showed more strategic ability through the course of the game. The edge went to BJ and the reasoning was as follows:
That's my basic summary. BJ was always "in the lead" for my vote so to speak and nothing really came up that changed my mind. I came into tribal thinking they had a very similar strategic resume and I'd be voting for BJ because of his jury management and I was more or less correct in that assumption. Congrats to both, whoever the winner may be. I'd be surprised/disappointed is Sierra won though.
This is the end for Eddie's confessionals guys. I had an amazing time this season although a round here and there might've made me appear otherwise. Congrats and good game to anyone reading this after. Thanks to the hosts and the pw's! I didn't get to interact with the pw's at all but I'm sure you guys are great!

So, in the end, it came down to who showed more strategic ability through the course of the game. The edge went to BJ and the reasoning was as follows:
- Sierra had herself saved by an idol, BJ's idol
- Sierra's jury management was very poor, I view jury management as a mix of social/strategy. Ignoring multiple members of the jury and betraying/leading on others for no strategic gain is a major flaw in my eyes.
- Though Sierra claims to have made "plan B's" a major staple of her game, it was Bobby Jon who had many more options should something go awry. BJ had many ways to the end as a solid player. Sierra's only route, besides this one, was as an inactive goat being dragged along.
- I view their strategic games as very similar in terms of the paths they chose but each had their own way of going about it. I think Sierra benefited from a bit more luck and made a lot more mistakes than BJ. Neither are perfect, but my opinion is that BJ played the better game.
