Courtney - If I'm being completely honest, I didn't get the chance to know you. After taking a look at your gameplay in the first season, it looks like you have a great personality and I imagine you would've been a threat to reckon with had the 'rumors' about you being with the Villains not been flying around. At that point it was a reason to vote someone out, which we were looking for - nothing really that you even did to deserve it.
Eliza - Oh, Eliza. You're such a crazy ass bitch. You did more to influence the early part of this game than anyone else, with your evil rumors about the Villains that ended up dooming Courtney and Rob C for the rest of the game. But I honestly wish you would've lasted a lot longer just for the sheer entertainment value, plus, you've always been pretty honest to me.
Brianna - What a goddess. You left too early in Spratly Islands and far too early in this game. I think it's obvious that the casting department flubbed it up, you should have been a Hero and I should have been a Villain and maybe we'd be sitting in opposite spots right now, lol.
Nick - The "mystery" guy. I was at the Graveyard the round that you left, and my tribe pretty much pulled a fast one on me and switched the vote late and I didn't have a chance to fight for you to stick around. The challenges were just really intense early on and you didn't have the chance to get yourself into the game before it was already rolling fast.
Russell - Big Russ....you're a crazy guy. I'm sorry you couldn't last a little longer to cause more trouble over with the Villains. You definitely have a great fighting spirit, though.
Mick - Oh Mick..the first of the Spratly Five to go. You're a great guy, but it really came down to a combination of challenge performance and the fact that Mike didn't want us to be targeted for sticking with the Spratly 5 again.
Heidi - My love, you went to soon in this game as well. Just like last season, we were apart from the beginning of the game and never really got a chance to work together and make anything happen.
Rob C. - I'll be honest, the Eliza rumors really shaped things in the game and you got a very unfair shake because of it. I felt like if you would've fought just a little harder in the challenges, the game could have been very much different and you would've had a much better finish. I apologize for being so skeptical of you.
Mike - Your exit was the game-changer for me. It has been a complete uphill battle since that point. I think you came on a little too strong when you were fighting to keep Rob around, and it just came off to the other Heroes as suspicious. I wish you would've made a case for me to pass you the HII because I would have probably considered it. I also wish you would've been a little less suspicious and a little more open...I tried contacting you several times without much response or feedback into what you were thinking, so I was honestly a little worried that you had cooked up some other plans against me.
Colby - Didn't get a chance to really know you, but I think you just came down on the wrong side of the Villains' clique.
Tina - One of my absolute favorite people in this game. It killed me that the Heroes turned on you so easily and didn't want to give you a chance come merge time. Had the Outcast twist not unfolded like it did, you probably would've been my partner in crime for a lot longer in this game. I wanted to give you the HII, but it just wasn't smart for me to do since my ass was obviously on the line as well - I just figured that out too late before the voting deadline to do anything about it.
Sandra - You're a definite fighter, didn't get to spend a lot of time with you in the game. It just seems like you were the victim of the 'team' twist. I was in a lot of danger that round, so I had to lobby hard for your team to throw that challenge.
Vecepia - Maybe the Heroes' tribe was too big for the both of us - I'm not sure. I had my eye on you from day one because I knew you were an extremely strong player, but the swirling rumors about a girls' alliance just got me and Mike very paranoid and we wanted to strike early before the 'girl power' got us. When you re-entered the game, it definitely changed the rest of the game. I think if you had been content to stick with the group and if you were willing to trust Tina for even a round or two, we would have all been a lot better for it. The reason we voted you out the first time was because you pushed your personal agenda way too hard on us and you gave very little time for anyone else to voice their own opinions. When you came back as an Outcast and thought you were entitled to run the game because you happened to be in a swing vote type role, it really pissed me off in a way and I think others got the same feeling. Your ego was just bigger than anyone else wanted to deal with.
Boston Rob - You were a strong and loyal player to me, and I wish I could've done more to keep you in this game longer. When you left the game, it was a mistake on my and Nicole's part to believe that the votes were going to be for her. We didn't have the numbers, but the Idol could have been used better that round to keep the three of us together. Thanks for being completely loyal and honest with me for back to back seasons, that's rare.
Peih-Gee - You played your "Loner" role well and you were a great Free Agent in this game. I wish you would have been content to stick with the Heroes group, I was honest with you and I really wanted you to go to the F4 with myself and Rob/Nicole. I'm sure you would have fared a lot better in the game if not for the Posting Challenge twist, but you also could've stuck with the Heroes and been sitting in a much better spot right now. You were definitely a pivotal player in the season, though, since you brought Vee back into the game and gave the Villains all the clues to the HII which they found to be missing when they made the move to dump Boston.
Nicole - After Boston Rob left the game, you were the only honest friend I had left and I wish I could have done more to get us to the end. It was about pure individual survival at that point. I felt a little bad when I won the posting IC, but after seeing Rob go I was more worried about my own survival. I got the HII at the Graveyard, but the rules and host clearly stated that I couldn't pass it to you. If I would have been able to, I would have.
Ryan - I hope that the conversations we had throughout the game were genuine, outside of the fact that you were trying to play me into voting for Julie and/or giving her my Idol. You seem like a genuinely nice, and obviously loyal guy, and you were definitely a strong and fierce player in the game. I'm glad that it was you and not me who left last round, but I absolutely think you played well and deserved a spot in the Finals. I think I would've liked you a lot more if you hadn't broken most of my fucking plates in the first individual IC. That really pissed me off.
