Hey viewers!
So we did rites of passage the other day, but it sucked. Nobody could say what they really wanted and the whole this was really tense. It was more about not fucking up than saying what you actually thought about the players. And so, we ended up with 45 minutes of Nav's delusional ramblings about shit like how the Jordan boot was the reason he's now going to win the game. Yeah, okay.
However, I have a lot of opinions (which will probably greatly change within the next few days but whatever). So Im gonna remember all of my opponents in my own way. Let's go.
Paul: I literally forgot you played this game. But wise move getting the fuck out of this game when you did. It was probably for the better.
Jordan: I only talked to you once during the Predator and Prey challenge. You seemed nice enough but from what I've heard apparently you're actually batshit insane. You hang out with Lindsay though so thats cool.
Derek: I've played against you in two games now, and I think that maybe orgs just arent for you. Try a new hobby.
Daniel: I was gonna write something nice about you, but I got into a fender bender on the way to the ferris wheel so I'll just not. Thanks for giving me something to laugh about though.
Andrew: You were my favorite person I met this season, and it will be a tragedy if you dont come back for 18. Unless of course, you're too busy doing body shots off of slutty Minnesota girls. Hopefully next time you won't get blindsided by your family's vacation and will make it far.
Yap: We never talked much, but you seem like a very savvy player. Not much you could have done about the last minute idol though. Sucks to be you.
Eric: Pal! You seem like a really nice guy, and I have nothing but good things to say about you. You did really well for your first org, just being part of a couple put a big target on your back. Im sure you and Kate will probably never want to talk to me again after this season (which is fair) but it was great fun talking about flavor of love. You were a big part of why the Palz were so awesome and it was never the same without you. Hope you play again next season and slay them all.
Dejuan: Lol.
Josh: Josh, you're one of my favorite people this season. I had a great time talking to you about travel, ice cream, board games, and other nerdy stuff. Im sure you would have been a huge threat, but I still wish that we could have worked together post merge. Long story short: you're awesome.
Sara: We never really talked outside of the ~secret girls alliance~ group, but you always seemed like a really nice person. Unfortunately, in game you appeared too sketchy and you were far too close to Kate to make me (or anyone else really) want to keep you around. I was probably way too harsh in my confessionals (oops) but at the end of the day I think youre a really cool person.
Kate: Oh, Kate. I really like you, but judging by your facebook posts it seems like you really hate me now. Full circle I guess. Regardless of what you think of me, I genuinely enjoyed getting to know you this season. Going into this game I just assumed we'd hate each other immediately, but you're really cool (albeit crazy) and are far more strategic than I had thought. I definitely underestimated you, which is why I ultimately voted you out (though it appears you think I had more to do with your downfall in game than I really did – Im no saint but stephen and patrick throwing you under the bus seems to be what really caused you to be targeted). You played a good game, hope to see you play again.
Tom: Another tough one. When the game began, I instantly knew you were a very savvy player. I never had any doubts that you were trying to vote me out, and I definitely resented you for that. However, we actually got to be fairly close and I always enjoyed talking to you. You're a really great guy. I knew we never would have been in the final 2 together, but voting you out was one of the toughest calls I had to make. Essentially writing your death sentence during the revote was probably the worst hour I had in this game. The other worst hour? Going on call with you after the re communication twist. I respect your game decision and hopefully you respect mine. But it was still messy, very rarely do I get emotional but I was a wreck the entire call. I guess because I do genuinely like you a lot. Will we ever be friends again? I don't know. At the very least I will always respect you as a great player. Best of luck.
Jack: I dont know what your game was this season or why you and Albee hated each other so much. I'm sure you trash talked me a lot in confessionals, but I never had any problems with you. I had a great time talking to you on Catania, and it was unfortunate that those ties essentially ended when the tribe swap hit. We were just never on the same page strategically afterwards.
Bryce: It still boggles my mind that you were able to get invited to a final 5/6 alliance with Palermo literally 10 minutes after voting Stephen out. We had never talked, so my first impression of you was you were a scary social threat who I had no connection to. Therefore you had to go, and no bullshit final 4 deal was going to stop me. However, I think its a testament to your game that it took me so long to get you out. The few times we did talk I thought you were really cool, but in this season you were always just an opponent to me.
Patrick: Another Pal buddy! Patrick, you played a very solid game especially seeing as this is your first game. You're a very likeable guy, good in challenges, and were willing to make moves when you needed to. We didn't talk one on one a lot, and I never doubted who was on the outs out of you, me and stephen. I know you had been throwing around the idea of voting me out, which tbh was probably a very good idea, but it meant I had to screw you over. Still, I think youre a really cool guy, and I will forever love you for making the Andruba flag.
Albee: Never in a million years did I think we would have worked together. 36 days later, and you have no idea how sad I am that you were gone. You were the person I talked to the most, and while I don't think I ever fully trusted you (it takes being a savvy, self interested player to know one) I did want us to be the final 2 in the end. We were renegades, and I give a lot of credit to our alliance for how awesome this game ended up being. To be honest, I think you played a better game than me, which is not something I say often (or ever lol). Being a successful swing vote is one of the most difficult things to pull off, and the fact that you organized blindside after blindside without getting a single vote against you was incredible. Even if all your confessionals are nothing but trash talking me, I still have mad respect for your game. It breaks my heart that your journey was ended by the hands of someone as worthless as Nav. Out of anyone I really hope we'll still be friends after this game is over. It'll be a tragedy if you dont win player of the season.
