How do you feel about your performance throughout the race?

I felt that, at the start, my performance was rather weak. Hell, I was one of the worst editors! The only reason I made it far was because I had an amazing partner in the race. Week 1, similar to others, was my worst week. Actually, my second worst. My worst was, incidentally, the week right before I dramatically improved. I tried my best to improve so that Phoenix wouldn't suffer, and so I wouldn't be dubbed as another Shadow or Anime, and I did.

The first Botch or Watch was my turning point, where I pulled off 400 edits. From that point on, my edits improved by about 150 each week until I eventually made 1008 edits in the finale. Overall, I'd say I improved the most throughout the race, coming out as the top underdog. I think my performance is worthy of even Phoenix and Stryzzar, the top 2 editors in the race.

How do you feel about your partner's performance throughout the race?

Phoenix, without a doubt, is the best partner anyone can have. I couldn't have ASKED for a better partner. He helped me a lot in the race, and did very well himself each time. Sadly, he couldn't help much in the finale – but you know what? It was actually good for the plot. It showed how far I've come. All in all, I think Phoenix and I make a great team.

What motivates you to edit?

Total Drama is my favorite show. Also, I was tired of Stry praising Phoenix in the commentaries and not me.

Did you think the race helped the wiki?

Uh, YES!! The articles and pictures look so much better now. And the drama was good entertainment for the spectators :P not good for the admins though.

'''Who were the three teams you were rooting for? (not counting your's)'''

The Mystic Warriors, the Dancing Fans and the Bubble Gadgets. I think Aaliyah and Mughees both did well, the Fans were all around an amazing team, and the Gadgets are both really close friends of mine. I did think it was funny how the Fans and Gadgets managed to evade elimination all the time though.

How do you feel about your team's placing in the race?

My team's ranking sucked. We could have done so much better. WE WERE ROBBED.

Did you reach any goals and were you happy when you reached them?

In the Botch or Watch, like I said, my turning point, I wanted to come in first for the first time. I accomplished it. Every week I aimed for first individual, and I got it. In the finale, after WM said I could do it, I aimed for 1000 edits and achieved that too. And I am very pleased with how far I've come. I'm like Jen – I put my mind to something and *finger snap* it happens.

How did you feel about the elimination order following the prediction towards the middle?

I was kinda disappointed, because the twists and changes make the game more exciting. I think it's why some users lost interest towards the end, we all knew who the finalists were gonna be. Although that twist with the Senpais coming in 2nd and Artists in 3rd was unexpected.

What did you find fun about the game?

I love competition, and this game helped me become a better editor. I found it fun how I could at the same time get glory and be recognized as a good editor AND help the wiki. I've always wanted to be in RR, so this is the next best thing I guess.
