Hey guys! SO Happy to see you and be engulfed in your love last night and today!
I have had an amazing and a very interesting journey to the top 5 in this game and I am so humbled by all of your support in this chat. I do want to just clarify a few things because once you all access my confessionals you WILL probably... hate me.
Whitney, you leaving and the entire schism between us had in part to do with what I felt were blatant lies back on the old Davis camp. After that, Ciera actually told me that you had come over to her and said some shit about me, so I just had 0 intention of working with you. Ever. But, from like the prehistoric days of life on Davis, you were a rad bitch and I hope we can be homegirls now that were pretty much rocking to the same tune.
Shirin, I absolutely adore you. You're hilarious, charismatic, and make conversations seem effortless. I loved when you would LOL @ me when I was angry because it was like a reality check that I am going too hard and I would chill the fuck out right after.
Coach, I think for the entirety of the time I spent with you pre-merge, I absolutely despised you. You were a control freak and you fucking called me paranoid. *BUT* I guess I don't mind you and you're a nice guy and we have to go on a date sometime because you called me babe 309092 times.
Ciera, first of all, call me an idiot one more time and I'll collect your fucking head. Second of all, your perception of this game isn't reality. I actually... told Danni pretty close to nothing. Kim was the one leaking everything left and right, and Danni would come to me to cross reference (hope you know what that is) the information and I would either verify or deny. If there is an idiot in this game, its you. Because I came to you, ROUND after mother fucking ROUND and asked you to make a move. Hell, I CAME TO YOU THE FUCKING ROUND YOU WERE GOING and you ignored me. I would have been MORE than happy to spare you and vote out Danni or Burton. But you were "sleeping". And you voted me. And you're fucking bitter that I voted you out. So you're a fucking moron. In regards to the post I made after the results were revealed, that was entirely game strategy, something you probably don't know about. I was constantly being told how I'm a jury threat and this and that and I was like, "well, I guess its time to antagonize the jurors as they leave" and thats why I said what I said to you. But like a deluded fuck, you decided to make some more personal comments. And honestly, I came in here with a clear mind and an open heart completely willing to discuss and put the game in the rear view mirror, but seeing as to how you've barged in here and called me an idiot when your demise was entirely your doing is frustrating, annoying, and simply wrong.
Gabe, #someragrets. I shouldn't have let them target you. That round I knew I couldn't stay with you, Danni, and Burton because I knew I didn't fit into the you/Danni/Burton love triangle. I let Nick and Kim "pick" so they felt more comfortable with working with me, and although I was convinced they'd target Burton, the vote landed on you. And I think that this was the point in the game that really was my undoing because you were always there for me and I didn't realize that, so in the end, I got what was coming.
Sash, I never really wanted to work with you after realizing that you had made this "watch your back and ill watch yours" kinda thing with everyone in the game, but then the dominos lines up in a way where you actually were the only person I had and I really really started to like you. I hope that when you read my confessionals and such that you aren't angry and upset at what I said in the earlier rounds. You're a dearie and I adore you and I'm so glad we worked together at the end.
The final 4 is strange to me.
Burton was really nice and cool when we were in the tribal stage, but he ditched me entirely when we merged because he didn't need me. He never once talked game, he never once made an attempt to gap anything. Yes he was nice, but I initiated all the conversations with him. Also, he did that one move that I absolutely despise: the "you're going home and were all voting you so theres no use in campaigning". It didn't sound that way, but I absolutely hate any and all modifications of that statement. Its rude and it diminishes the opponents abilities to nothing and says that they were worthless and they were dragged here and now its time for them to bounce. He probably isn't getting my vote.
Danni didn't talk to me at all while in the tribal stage, ostracized me when I did mutiny and was rude to me the first few rounds of the merge, BUT she was able to completely mend that and work with me to vote out Ciera, and she even tried helping me the round that Sash left so thats gameplay I can appreciate. She really isn't anything out of the ordinary but she is what she is and she did make an effort to not make me feel excluded which is commendable.
Nick I like personally but I think he made a stupid move not taking me to the final 4. The next round is going to tie, and its going to tie between him and Danni/Burt and he's going to lose. He fails to see the bigger picture. Also he made an f3 with me and went agains that. Don't make a fucking final 3 deal then shit on my tits the round after. He's prob not getting my vote.
Kim has told so many lies that it was hard to actually gage when she was truthing and when she was lying. I don't like that style of gameplay but if it gets her to the final 2 then so be it. I really don't have much to say because she rarely spoke to me and when she did she lied left and right. LOL
Shirin, I absolutely adore you. You're hilarious, charismatic, and make conversations seem effortless. I loved when you would LOL @ me when I was angry because it was like a reality check that I am going too hard and I would chill the fuck out right after.
Thanks <3 We had a genuine bond and connection and I can say that I enjoyed talking with you also! We plotted together (telling Hali to vote Whitney, convincing Read I was on the bottom of Davis, etc) so much and I got to know you so much and I <3 <3 <3 you so much. You played a superb game.
Morgan! I can't wait to read what you wrote about me!!! I'll always watch your back you played a great game and it's very sad I couldn't vote for you at the end

Hey guys . . . so I debated whether or not to even write anything here, because the majority of you seem to want to rip my arms off and shove them into my eye sockets, but I figured that I probably should write SOMETHING at least. I guess I'll just write a bit about how I perceived each of you, and why you had to go from my point of view. Again, these are my own views, not objective views. I really just want to give y'all a bit of clarity so you maybe don't hate me such much. LOL
Whitney: I actually know next to nothing about you. Apparently you're Ciera's cousin or something? Morgan threw your name out first, and so you went first.
Shirin: Shirin, you conversed with me fairly often even before the merge. I wrote in my confessional that it wouldn't surprise me if you were doing the same thing with a bunch of people. I know you thought I was ignoring you the round you went, but I figured the only way to survive that round (and the next) was to make sure everybody on my tribe knew I was writing your name down. I even made a new chat for the "Old Read Tribe" in an attempt to try and get them on my side as much as possible. I legitimately still thought I was gone, though, and I definitely would have followed through with what I said I'd do prior to the votes being revealed, because you seemed to have an understanding of the game, and I didn't want you to get fucked over by being associated with me if I went that round.
Coach: Coach, I've been making sure everybody would vote you out before myself even prior the merge. During the very first challenge, I decided to wait for you to sleep . . . and then I spammed a bunch of bullshit in another confessional thread so that when you woke up, you'd either think I lied and went HAM while you were sleeping, or you'd suspect me of bullshitting you. In truth, I calculated the maximum amount of fires you'd made, and then I upped it by two. The plan was for you to either give up thinking my score was legit, or assume my score was bullshit and then presume your score would still beat mine, so that I'd win by two fires. That, or you'd try to beat my bullshit score, and make yourself look like a huge challenge threat right from the start, which you did. It was great. Then, after Shirin mutinied and you pulled your little tantrum, I parroted(read: exaggerated) everything you were saying to me, trying to make you look like a crazy person. A crazy person who somehow destroys almost every challenge. I did this once again after you were upset with me for calling you a terrible player.
My offer to you later on down the road was legit, though. I didn't feel very great about my position in the game, and so my offer to you was my way of trying to remedy that. At first, I couldn't tell why you'd rejected it, summing it up to you being a terrible player and not understanding how the game works. Later on, I found out that there was a plan brewing to get me out which involved you, so that adds a layer of clarity I lacked at the time. I apologize for calling you a terrible player . . . though I will say that you're not much of a good player, either, considering information given to me in the rounds after you were voted out. Regardless, I'm not sure I'd even get as far as I did if you hadn't immediately leaked my offer to Morgan, so I thank you for that!
Ciera: Ciera, you were honestly my number one in this game right up until I was able to confirm that it was you starting the rumours that I was close with Shirin. It was a great move, and to my knowledge, everybody was 100% buying it, until I went around making it seem like you were starting similar rumours about everyone else. For somebody with English not being their first language, you played a really good game, albeit subjectively a little too early, in my opinion, which bit you in the ass. I loved that I was actually able to strategize with you in the beginning, though for all I know, that might have been what almost bit ME in the ass! lol
Gabe: Gabe, the round you went wasn't the first time you were a target. Ever since it leaked about you having some variety of vote nullifier power, there were talks about taking you out before it became a problem. This round was fully to Morgan's credit, though, because I had no idea you'd be going. I thought it'd Kim, or maybe Burton, which did seem strange to me at the time, that they'd randomly want Burton out after targeting you prior. It was definitely the lesser of all evils, though, because at that point, I couldn't have Morgan voted off, and I couldn't have Burton voted off. I'm still not sure why they targeted you over Burton or Morgan, but my best guess is that it was due to everyone knowing you had the vote nullifier. I hope you're enjoying your, like, fifth vacation of the month, though LOL
Sash: I never really had a chance to get to know you all that well. Once we began working together, I knew you were tied to Morgan, and so I didn't want to create any sort of special bond between the two of us that'd make Morgan feel uncomfortable, because if Morgan felt uncomfortable, she'd flip, and then that would be GAME OVER for me. The round you went, I was afraid of Burton voting with Kim and Nick in order to vote Morgan off, and so I kind of casually mentioned to Burton that I got a "forced idol" from Shipwreck Lagoon, and that I had to play it on somebody that round, which I said was Morgan. That way, he'd run back to Kim and Nick and switch the vote from Morgan onto you. You do seem like an alright guy, though, and it's kind of cool that we both got as far as we did on our first try!
Morgan: God damn, for most of the game, I thought you were one of the worst players I'd ever seen. When you mutinied over to the Read tribe, I made sure to drop those subtle Candice references so that my tribe would view you as an outsider. And they did. Kim bitched about you almost every time we spoke. Burton found your feud with Kim amusing. Ciera . . . I don't even remember. Anyway, Ciera and I were planning on throwing the final challenge before merge in order to either get rid of you or Kim, because we thought you were both likely to flip and work with the Davis tribe. It wasn't until around the time Coach got the boot that I began to realize that there may have been more to you than I'd originally thought. Once Coach foolishly leaked my offer to you, and Shirin left, I knew I had one more chance to go past the F6, and that was with you. When we began working together, that's when all of my conspiracy theories I'd been writing about in my confessionals were pretty much confirmed. I was genuinely surprised by how well you knew the game, and I could actually strategize with you (even while I was playing dumb the whole time). I thought you were playing a character in order for people to take you to the end thinking you were going to be a goat . . . but then, once there, you'd completely change, like we saw during that one long tribal answer you wrote, and you'd expose the strategist behind the attitude. I love that, and I loved your gameplay. I tailored my moves later on to make sure that not only would I stay in the game, but you would, as well, but once ya'll started campaigning for a live tribal council, I didn't have any time to pull off the move I wanted to that round, and so I had to vote for you. It's a shame neither of us made FTC in the end.
Burton: Ya' probably dun goofed by voting me out, 'cause now you're the biggest target who DOESN'T have a Final Two deal with Kim. Whoops. Good luck in the challenge, 'cause I don't want for you to have to read this.
Nick: You made both a bad move and the right move in voting me off. My plan was to get you to vote Kim, and then Burton and I were going to vote for you. This way, we'd avoid a firemaking challenge. I totally forgot about Tribal being early, though, and it looks like I just couldn't pull it off with the 15 minutes I had before I realized. I'm not sure what kind of game you're playing, outside of trying to play "the nice guy" role. I really hope that's not all there was to your game . . . ___________________________________________________________________________
Anyway, so there you have it! I hope this gives y'all a little more perspective on the game, and my game, and maybe makes some of you want to waterboard me a little less. That'd be neat.
