Deaths 


 * Garret McKinley: I'm quite surprised I made it this far to be honest but now is my time to gracefully bow out. Once we ended up with this number of tributes it was always going to be a matter of time before Garret's lack of killer instinct let him down. His weaponry is just not as well suited to combat as that of Isaac, Shiloh or Finn and in a straight up fight he's not going to be fighting to kill so even if he does win he's just leaving them alive to find and kill him later on. Garret's injury also plays a major role and while a more minor injury would have been little problem due to his young age and good physical shape the fact that he's broken his wrist will make it hard for him to defend himself or even forage for food with much success. When I made Garret I was hoping to play the long game and hope arena events would do his killing for him but in the end he just isn't suited to a combat based HG's.


 * Shiloh Zao: If I'm honest I could see all three of these remaining tributes going through but as I have to vote one out I'm going to go with Shiloh. I'm going to ignore the fact that she's dehydrated and weak due to being poisoned as she really shouldn't be injured at all but nevertheless her assortment of knives simply don't have the reach to stack up against the further reaching weapons of Finn & Isaac. Furthermore her lack of survival skills and the fact that her rations are running low means even if another tribute doesn't kill her then she'll mostly likely starve or eat something deadly and while Finn is in the same boat in this regards he has more equipment to help with survival as well as those all important medical supplies.

I'm inclined to agree with Cfp as regards to the layout of this Tournament. I personally feel it would have been better if after Day One there was not a "X number of tributes must die" rule as it works against tributes like myself and Cfp's character who rely on survival and those such as Skully's and even your own who rely on manipulation in fact  the only reason I voted out Isabella & Jessica is because I had to get rid of five people otherwise they might still be in this round.
