Hey so just to let everyone know for real this has been a great game and I definitely am proud to be a part of it. I didn't place as well as I would've liked to, but I still beat out TONS of people both in the application process and in this game. When you read my notes and confessionals, understand that this is all for the sake of entertainment. I am as much of a character here as you see on the real shows, and my words here certainly don't translate to my everyday behavior.

I've been thinking over the past two weeks or so about my elimination, and here are my major regrets:

(1) Playing my idol early- Obviously a wasted idol is never fun! If the scenario changed and my head wasn't under potential fire as a fake vote, then it would've stayed safely in my pocket and I would've played it on Caleb the next round. Yes I would've 100% done that, despite our less-than-bffy attitudes towards each other. As much as I didn't like it, Caleb was in my alliance and I didn't see him flipping. There would've been absolutely zero issue with saving Caleb to send the final 9 to a revote where Spencer would've left.

(2) My second major regret is not filling in Spencer and James of my willingness to vote Kat and Dana out. I was afraid to let them hear this, as I felt word could leak to them and my plan (which I was embarrassed to be fooled on) would have been blown up. Little did I know that Kat and Dana were the two biggest snakes at merge, and that I should've allowed Spencer to see my thoughts. I think this could have saved me in the double vote, sent Julia home, and created a relatively easy path to the final 3. Pretty much following the same path as Julia has in reality, and she will probably win as a result!

So yeah, that's the post-mortem on Sydney Wheeler. Fun gal, I'd say! I think people will be surprised over the strategic thinking I had- nobody really thought I was a big threat in that regard. Hopefully I had a few CP edits sprinkled in :p Thanks again to players, hosts, and PWs for a great season!

DEAR PEOPLE WHO HATE ME (Specifically Navneet, Tyler and other PWs)

I solemnly swear to do my best to be a nice person next game, regardless of what series and persona I decide to adopt. My goal was to do that this time, and I thought I did that well at least in-person up through the first few rounds, but eventually old habits kicked in. Third time's the charm??
