Congratulations to both of you for making it farther than anyone else in the game. Anyone who makes it to the final two is deserving to win the game, no matter what. You both played a great game!
Bryan - You played a great game! You were supposed to be voted out a while ago, but you fought hard and ended up in the final two. I think that is pretty impressive!
I know you think that I wasn't playing this game to win and that I was content with someone from my alliance winning the game. Yes, I did say those things to you, but it's actually far from the truth. Who doesn't want to win a game? Of course I wanted to win the game, but I just didn't think I had a chance to win at all at that point in the game. Since the very beginning, I made very few connections with people. I'm naturally a very social person and I love making new friends. But for some reason, nothing was working right for me in this game. I found it very difficult to talk to many of the people in this game in the beginning. It seemed like no one was really interested in talking with me. That really put me off from the game and I didn't have any drive since my social game was pretty much nonexistent. Eventually, my whole mindset changed once I won the immunity challenge and I had drive and determination like I've never had in this game and I was going to try my hardest to win.
I think being social is a huge aspect of these games, so I like to see someone who is social win these games. But I don't base that on how social they were with everyone else.. I base that on how social they were with me. We never really talked. One of the first conversations we had was when you were begging me to leave my alliance and join up with you and Nicolle. You didn't try to get to know me, you just wanted me for a number. And yes, I know it goes both ways. I know why I never really socialized with you, but I want to know why you never socialized with me.
Ben - You played a superior game! You had everything in the right place and you were always thinking ahead. It's something very admirable!
Honesty is something I strive for when I play these games. Of course lying is always going to be part of these games.. It's just what happens. There are times to lie and there are times to tell the truth. I felt like I played honestly throughout the entire game. The only time I can think of when I wasn't honest was to my original tribe with the whole Rain thing. I felt like I could trust you, so I came to you with almost the entire combination to help figure it out. Throughout the game, I felt like you were being honest with me to a certain extent. It felt like you only told me what I wanted to hear and that you tried to keep me informed just so you wouldn't lose me as a number. Whether that's true or not, I'm not sure. It's just how I felt. Even though you tried to keep me informed, I felt so out of the loop when y'all voted for Donna. I was angered because I was not informed of this. I know it's not anyone's duty to communicate this to me, but I felt a bit betrayed.
Throughout this entire game, what were you not honest with me about? Or what did you not tell me the whole truth about?
Uhm, if Mark is asking for a picture, then I want one too! Whoever sends me a picture of their left nipple first gets my vote! And I will know if it's your left nipple. So don't even think about sending a picture of your right nipple!
Good luck to you both!
