I'm going home, because apparently I'm the biggest threat. I don't know what I would have done different these past few rounds... I didn't bank on Monica immunity whoring out to save herself, because lord knows her social and strategic game wouldn't do that. If I had kept Vytas last round, I most likely would have still left this round because Vytas wouldn't vote out Mookie over me. I could have used my idol on Lue, but he likely would have left fifth place anyway because we still needed to beat Monica. So Monica saying that she was trying to "save" is dumb, I was a goner in any situation where she won F4 immunity.

I had a lot of fun in this game. The chat between Myself/Lue/Rod/Mookie was seriously one of the best chats I've ever had in any game. I made some really awesome friends. I genuinely enjoyed the company of Colton and Amber and I wish I had ended up on a tribe with JT/Lembo sooner because I think we would have worked well together... but at that point I needed SOME people I could go against because I had way too many allies. Sherri's batshit crazy meter was unveiled way too late in the game, and I think that Vytas got a bad rap for a lot of things in this game. I found his social game to be extremely good, it's just that the Sherri blowup at merge gave him a certain label that never really wore off.

Overall I hold no will in this game to anyone except for Monica, but that's just because she's trying to play a fiesty character who doesn't give a shit. I thought that her comments about not caring about Vytas' coming out story were harsh and cold, as well as her frequent badmouthing of just about everybody except for Ami. The things she said in Rites of Passage, even if she said she was just "trolling", were bitchy and petty and rude.

Everybody in this game has come across as genuine to me, except for Monica. And that's not something you get a lot in a game like this. I hope I get to be friends with everybody after this is all over. I know I had to backstab some people and I had to break some deals, going back in this game I would have made the same decisions every time because ultimately I'm going home because my allies and I couldn't pull out the challenges. And while that is in my control, for me Survivor isn't about who can post on the second the best or who can put together a puzzle the best. It's about building authentic relationships and being able to exercise influence over people. I think I did a pretty damn good job of doing that, and if I'm being eliminated because my competitors think I did TOO good of a job at that then I'll take it as a compliment.

I asked the hosts for an instant tribal just because I've scrambled, I've gotten my answers, and I've been told by all three people left that no matter what I say, they're voting for me. They said they would prefer I wait, so I'll wait. No hard feelings, (to everybody except for Monica, because being a bitch for fun isn't impressive, it's just pathetic), and I hope I can be friends with everybody after this game.

also, I'll be voting for Mookie this round, (Mookie ily), just so Rodney can be one of those people who made it to FTC without getting a single vote cast against him, which is damn impressive and shows amazing social maneuvering.

I thought that her comments about not caring about Vytas' coming out story were harsh and cold,

Excuse me, but what comments about Vytas' coming out story did I make? Can you explain a little further about this? From what I remember, it was a nice story and I NEVER made one fucking comment to it. You're adding words to my mouth that I did NOT say. I said when I came back I didn't give a shit about personal conversations anymore, and I added "gay comeouts" in the listing because that's one of the group conversations we had at one point that didn't have to do with the game. And the fact that I said I didn't want to hear about gay comeout stories has NO CORRELATION with what Vytas said at all. So get your facts straight.

LOL. THAT is what I consider part of the game too. Trolling the rites of passage for the people who were dead was something I *feel horrible to do by the way* decided to go, to get rid of a label I had on my back. You had told me two nights ago, along with Rodney, that I have a lot of jury bonds because I am an underdog, and everything, and I DON'T WANT to be seen like a jury sucker, THAT is why I said bitchy and rude things. I said for example that Amber was an invisible bitch. Do I really think that? Fuck no, I think Amber is rational enough to know that we have had awesome conversations, we've talked about the a lot, and we helped each other in the Battle for Sausage Island challenge. You just got blinded, because I wanted people to see me as a goat to take to the end in the event I would lose the challenge.

Authentic? Man, you've been fake with me since I've fucking came back into this game, starting with OMG ANG.EL MONICAAAA <3 YOU ARE BACK YAYYY <3 And telling me how much you love that I am feisty and everything, telling me about the Carolyn vote, about the Lue vote, so get over it, you're only bitter because you are TARGETED, you are such a whiney when you show your true colors, seriously.

And you can keep claiming how much your game was so good, along with your sweet rites of passage that talks so well of everyone, it only keeps digging your own grave as you show people what you're made of for final tribal council. Now, let's move on, let's vote.

You're only trying to convince me to throw a vote on Rodney indirectly, you are so pathetic.

^ No I'm not, you're all voting for me. Rodney deserves to beat you because unlike you, he was able to avoid getting any votes at all this entire game. if you throw an extra vote on him just so he can't say that then you're fucking stupid and it would show your insecurities.

The more you fight with me, the worse you appear. You're a genuinely mean, spiteful person. I get "playing a character", but you don't give a shit about anyone but yourself. When you come into the game demanding that you won't talk about anything personal you're an idiot, because that's what this game IS. It IS personal. It IS about those "stupid coming out stories" that you didn't want to talk about. The personal game dictates the strategic game. You fail to realize that, and the only reason you're making final three is because you're good at moving images around on boards. NOT because you're likeable, NOT because you' had any ounce of influence in this game, and NOT because you put yourself into any position of power. Your bratty, entitled, self-absorbed attitude speaks to your level of character in real life.

After this game, I hope to have people I can talk to and have good relationships with. I don't think anyone would want to be friends with someone who acted so petty over an online game. You are a negative, toxic void.

LOL. I am not that person you're trying to portray me as, and it shows how much you don't know me at all.

LOL. And what happened when I was a sweetheart ? I was GONE. I was seen as somebody that could win the game. When I came back, I made sure to destroy and alienate any sense of "potential win" I could get. When you're back from the dead, you can easily be seen as somebody who will gather a jury, your job is to make sure you're not a threat, and that you can be beaten in the end, something that YOU failed at doing, by the way.

Excuse me, but why are we bringing up real life now? Maybe you should go around and take a look at the rules book, brat.

LOL. There's plenty of people I would gladly keep contact with, and it certainly will not be with self-centered people like you who start a fight as soon as they're gone.

I started fights when I was SAFE, which shows I'm not a sore loser by the way. UNLIKE you.

Why do you think you should make the Final Tribal Council? How nervous are you for this vote?

Hard act to follow up above. Everyone who has made it this far in the game deserves to be here. It sucks that someone has to go. As far as nerves go, I'm as nervous as I've ever been for this vote.

By the way, you're going to go through a full 24 hours of torture, I refuse to vote now.

Lol I don't need you to vote bitch, I made my peace and I'm going to go out and live my awesome life.

You being a "bitch" did not in any way make people want to keep you around. If that was your strategy then you're a fucking idiot, you were always going to leave no matter unless you won immunity. All you being a bitch did was show that you're a bitch. I did enjoy the bitchier side of you though, it felt more authentic than that fake bullshit you were pulling early in the game acting like you were a dumb bimbo. We all saw through that.

Refusing to talk personal at ALL with people and only discuss strategy was a TERRIBLE way to go about this game. Survivor is about those personal relationships and you completely failed to put any effort whatsoever into them, and it came off as like you were too "good" for anybody else in the game.

Who the fuck acts like a bitch for strategy and thinks that'll make people think she's a likable person outside the game? There was not a single action you took in this game that made me think your character outside of it was someone worth knowing or having a relationship with. Being mean and rude and petty for any reason is just that... mean and rude and petty. #ByeFelicis I can live with not winning an online game. I'm even more excited to live without ever having to talk with you in my life. I'm the real winner because I'm actually going to GET something out of that.

All you're going to get is the advice to start buying some self-help books and to start seeing a counselor about your issues with inter-personal relationship skills.

Whether it was pulled off or not, that is still smarter than keep portraying myself as a jury threat.

Saw right through what? That I was a fake sweetheart? Oh, please. I was not fake. I don't remember doing anything wrong before I go home, and I did go home with class, WHEN IT WAS MY TURN, rememba?

I was going to talk to you on AIM but you signed off like a baby. Oh well.

actually, you know what, I'm sorry for going crazy.

I don't like you. I don't think you're a good person. but that's okay. We don't all have to like people. There are plenty of people in my life who I don't think are good people.

I genuinely enjoyed everyone else in this game and I had such an amazing, positive experience. Lex and Brett were so professional and well-prepared, my only complaint is that Lex should learn what "on the dot" actually fucking means. This is one of the best games I've ever played, and I had so much fun due in large part to the cast.

Monica I'm sorry I lashed out at you. I may not agree with your social game 100%, but you made the finals fair and square and what you say or do over an online game has nothing to do with who you are in real life.

Rodney man I love you

Mookie, you're amazing

Shoutouts to Lue who should be in this F4, Vytas who had a much better social game than a lot of people thought, JT & Lembo for being robbed and winning the cutest couple award, Ami for a g.oddess, Colton/Amber for being amazing, Sherri for being underrated, Mama C for being a fucking legend, and Angie for being the REAL winner of the game.

And to the hosts, again, who put so much effort into this game even if every vote is super predictable.

I'm sorry I lost my cool for a second, it happens from time to time. I'm extremely grateful I got to play and meet a bunch of incredible people and I'm so excited to get to be part of such an amazing community, (unless the PW's all hated me in which case fuck them I'm fabulous)
