ok so my question to the both of you is
"Which part of the game required the most skill from both of you? That is, if you had to pick your BEST moment in the game, what would it be?"

Hey KKKaitlin, my fellow racist bitch from BB15 <3
I think one of the biggest moves I made this season was during Danielle's HOH reign. I was given the prophecy for the F7 voting twist in the Keep on Rolling POV and I intended to use that information to my full advantage. I began my work for this the week before by trying to use the veto on you in the event that I was nominated beside you the following week -- I wanted to use it as leverage to use against you, I saved you now return the favor and save me type thing. I knew it was going to be one of my only shots to keep my game alive if I was indeed up next week, I was well aware that sitting on the block being a massive threat would end my game.
Danielle won HOH so obviously I was up on the block, surprisingly alongside Jen and of course yourself. This is when I made the ballsy move to purposely score a zero in the Snake Eyes POV and ask Jen, Sabrina and Zach to all battle me so one of them would have the highest score and win. This was a risky move -- if Steven or you had the highest score and battled me by chance, you'd be veto'd and I'd be up against just Jen on the block. But it paid off, Sabrina battled me and won the POV. I then specifically asked her not to use it 1) So that people couldn't bitch that I'd never been nominated and use it against me later on in the game and 2) I wanted control of this vote and vetoing me wasn't going to keep the power in my hands 3) so Jen didn't get removed and me have to potentially work with someone else to convince them to not send me home. I knew Jen would vote you out over me, there was always the chance she could have pulled a move but I was confident in my alliance with her that she'd stick by me and you would be the one going home.
A lot could have gone wrong in this play, but I pulled the strings to make it work in my favor and that's why I think this was the biggest move I made during the season.

Hey Kaitlin! I really like this question!! Aside from building good relationships with everyone and covering my bases making sure that my name was in the clear.. I would say a good skill that I developed in this game was the ability to persevere when obstacles were heading in my way. There were many times where I paused and told myself I couldn't do this, the length of this game drove me insane, and the fact that I wasn't winning competitions didn't help either. The punishments in this game were brutal! and I think you can relate to this as well, you and I both had some bad shit thrown at us by the host , your punishments were far worse than mine that's for sure because you were basically handicapped for the entire game .. but what I'm saying is that having that type of punishment can really break you to the point where you will doubt yourself and wonder is this all worth it? why am I doing this? I'm probably wasting my time.. and all sort of questions.. and this is what happened to me when I was being put on the Scottish Referendum... I thought that I was never going to make it.. I have assignments to hand in, I have a busy schedule.. where the hell can I have find 5-6 hours to do this thing... I looked at it as a waste of my time... but I eventually switched my thoughts and persevered ... I completed the damn thing, took 4-5 hours of my day to do it, then the next day I felt better! and from that moment that really helped me in the following challenges, because a lot of them took me hours (jet set veto took me 3 hours, bulletin board took me another 3 hours, I had to study for this lol created an excel chart with all the events in proper order) so yeah I really sacrificed a lot of time knowing that I have a busy schedule, I was able to persevere and complete whatever was thrown at me!
