Also probably take it as a compliment, but seriously. It's really hard to choose who to vote. Becoming a jury member hasn't helped me catch a break, specially with everyone in the jury chat already making up their minds. And it's pretty difficult to process all the new information in the FTC discussion, so if you don't mind, I've finished in 4th place and I think my own perspective will have the right to make the choice instead of the generalized one.
[A long paragraph has been removed here since it really has nothing to do with the final vote. Maybe I'll publish it in my confessional, but you really don't want to read it]
Enough talk, let's get to the votes now. But first:
N: you have become suddenly more of a mastermind than I initially thought you were after reading all you had to write. Chem and I were wary of you flipping on us, but if you really think you found yourself working for both sides then good work man. If what you said is true and gabby actually voted for you so the Super Idol wouldn't be used, then that makes it my favorite play of N. Thoughtful and subtle, simply put. Your jigsaw idol was the key for surviving F6, whether it mattered or not. No breaks taking the puzzle? Just wow. Aaand it goes without saying that I'm thankful for all the times you've tried to save me and supported me as an ally. I don't regret giving you that Minority idol clue anymore. Good job N, you showed me what happens when you're not the one hosting.
Timur: not exactly my ally, but what stops me from voting for an enemy? I know for a fact he exchanged enough interactions with everyone in the game, including me, considering him the player who knew all sorts of info since the start. He just did that, and I already wanted to trust him (again, I'm easy to convince even when you don't mean to, all you need to do is give me free info apparently :p). Somehow this made me try to save you whenever you needed it, basically all the time, but at the same time not vote with you to get Chem out, until the point where I finally decided to spend my double vote on you, but wow, you still pulled that off and tied with Kevin. I thought you were a goner there, and that's exactly what makes me want to vote you. The entire game, even with Hidden at the start, you've been pressured with getting voted out all the time and pulled off survival by close margins. And when you got those final immunities, that was it for me. Thanks for understanding that Hidden forced my vote on you back then and that I didn't want you out.
Chem: IMO, a good leader. Does everyone else really think you're playing underdog, because I don't. I'm pretty sure I've been saved twice and surely more times than I can count right now thanks mainly to your actions. Or at least it looked like you had contacts and pulled strings even when you were in the Capulets tribe, wouldn't you agree? Besides, you created the original Javi/N/gabby/Chem which turned out to be key after merge. If it wasn't you, who would've created it and who would they have added to the alliance instead? Also, don't blame yourself for gabby's elimination, blame me. I'm the one who tried to deflect the vote on Timur and attempted to break the N/Sam alliance, so that maybe there could be a chance N would come back to us 100%. And you were okay using the idol back then. It's not a mistake. It's assuring safety in case something unexpected happened according to plan, and if nothing happened you could still analyze why. This game I could feel somehow that you were caring, and if nobody thinks this is a valid reason then I'll reword it as "helpful", because you really were more than the rest. Thanks chem, you showed me.
but if I REALLY had to pick one, then I'll just go ahead and pick the player I had an instinct about voting and thought about it for two days full of doubt in my mind.

GG Timur, it's you
When you won those immunity challenges (specially the F4 one with 1/4 odds of winning, and you already had 9 points like wtf) you definitely got me clapping at you for such unrepeatable play. Losing just one of them would've meant your elimination. And to be honest N, the fact that Timur had a lot more votes than you actually makes me want to vote him more for almost getting out on multiple occasions. This is probs what made up my mind, hope you're happy and if I'm the last one announcing then fuck
