Well I almost follow the same strategy.

I submit a WA first and then never submit. That works for me.

I watched this live. We including commentators were wondering when he is going to submit and after submitting WA at E, he came to confession room and revealed this strategy. Everyone was shocked. Pretty funny experience.
