WOW my dude you were an absolute force to be reckoned with. maybe you didnt see it that way cos of how you were distracted by irl shit, maybe we never really had the closest connection. but the truth is that you were a really cool dude whose motivations were an enigma, and the unknown factor you brought to the game after we never met before the shipwreck as well as the fact that we were on other sides of the fence intimidated me hardcore, and i think that if i hadnt planted the seeds of doubt in your game and painted you as an enormous threat challenge and social-wise that you could have honestly made a deep run. you said that you werent that big of a threat (and i definitely inflated that perception a bit), but i definitely respected the game you played and we were always destined to target each other eventually. you had great reads on the game and were the first to call me out as a threat, but your own reputation caught up with you and you were the first to bite the dust cos of it. mad props to you for the cajones to make that tribal a lot more exciting than it woulda been otherwise

ohh f*** my dudes. you got a RAW deal within the context a the merge and the hand before it, and i remember you bein an integral part of our four man quartet and just two bros in general that i could hang with as part a the maroon three. after i defended and helped you out (which turned out to not be needed cos of the immunity), we grew really close and formed a powerhouse three with bard that had the potential to set up the entire game in our favor. ill always remember your prowess at maneuvering your way around the various twists and challenges this game had to offer. your judge challenge creativity ones in particular were hilarious, and i kinda regret stealin immunity away from you in the f10 cos i basically inadvertently sealed your fate there. to the end though i had the same 'bro' vibes with you that i did with bard, and if you had lasted any longer you woulda been a huge threat to be reckoned with. maybe voting for maggie to try to save you was a dent in my game but i dont regret lookin out for you even if you had turned on our group. you are super chill and you should be proud a the game you played

BONOBO you are my absolute homeslice (even if we didnt entirely see eye to eye following the second swap). i think you are easily the most chill and laid back dude in this entire cast, and i remember immediately hittin it off with you as soon as we met with the avocado lotion and business discussion. i think you share the exact same absurdist sense of humor i do, have the same lighthearted spirit and casual nature regardin the game that i do, and the same avant garde devil may care nature when approaching this that i dont see that often. were basically two sides a the same coin as far as how social game goes, and you were honestly the player i was genuinely the most scared of leading up to the merge and whatnot specifically cos you were so well connected and nobody had anything bad to say about you. still i was struck by your devilish ape-esque charm even when we werent really on the same side, and the banana dress that you came out with in that fashion challenge is the hardest i think ive laughed in the whole game. i regret the fact that i had to target dave the shield to dismantle the alliance that you had, but you TOTALLY had the drive and will to continue beyond that. finally i feel like you got the worst hand in the demerge outta anyone but maybe bard, and i really did wanna work with you. unfortunately you didnt trust me and recognized that i was a big player and came after me. overall i feel like youre chill and without that demerge you couldve easily been sittin here instead a me

holy shit where do i even begin with this one my dude. ive been staring at this wondering what to write for a solid 10 minutes or so now cos i have no idea how to express how much your game and friendship meant to me throughout this whole thing. from the absolute MOMENT we met each other i knew that i was going to love you and want to go deep with you into this mf game and we were attached from the hip not even a day or two into that chocolate tribe. we stayed together for the longest outta anyone in this entire game for so long, shared six tribes together, shared all of our choices and decisions that we would make together, shared our interests, ideas, and personal lives with each other, and were together for so long and made so many memories of how much bs we went through in this entire game that i felt like a piece a me was missing when you got blindsided and taken out. your boot hurt me the most outta anyone in this entire game specifically cos a how close we were together, and i think that in the right scenario without my presence makin you into a bigger threat you coulda gone on a lot longer without bein singled out and i apologize for makin you stand out like that. you are the coolest person in this entire game and your messages were my absolute favorite to respond to to the point where i would always make an effort to answer em first outta all of em (partially to avoid burnout and partially cos you are just the most awesome mf ive met in an lsg to date). we share the same music taste, the same strategy and thoughts for how to continue and shit, and on the opposite side a things we totally complete each other like a yin and a yang. youre the laid back social gamer to balance my strategy and reassure me when the going gets rough, and i absolutely could not have made it to the final four (or maybe even the end depending on when you see this) without you. you are my favorite ally and friend i have ever met in one of these games and i will always treasure the time we spent together. tysm for helping guide me throughout uncharted waters and i really hope that we can keep in touch and shit after this game is over. you're amazing. <3

aaaaah i still feel guilty for the way your boot went down. even if it was the objectively safest move for me to use the idol on myself after how much my name was thrown out i still REALLY regret not playin it on you and saving you after you had been lookin after me for so long leadin up to it. i feel really responsible for the way that tribal panned out even if it was almost impossible for it to go our way considering that they had two idols, and i think if your key allies hadnt been taken out beforehand then you genuinely coulda slid under the radar and made it to the end. beyond that final 7 tribal council though i think that youre a wonderful and compassionate person in general, and even if i did plagueis dirty in the tribal where he went i dont regret going out on a limb to help you out (even if it turned out that you didnt need it). you are the kind of person who is very straight up, forgiving, and a treat to talk to no matter what and you definitely gave me forgiveness that i didnt deserve after i almost blindsided you with t/h in the droids tribal. your social game was absolutely off the charts, and theres a reason you were the biggest threat to win after bard happened to go home. unfortunately your game was cut short by people who recognized the game you were playing and eventually your own kindness worked against you. i really cant wait to find out who you are cos you are an excellent person.

ohhh geez i really dont have any idea a what to say here either. we got off to a great start and really connected on the maroon tribe, and i defended you when people considered you kinda a passive non threat who wouldnt really anger people, but after we swapped away from each other and that messy merge tribe happened we REALLY drifted apart and never were able to level with each other beyond that since we were never willing to give each other the opportunity to work together (which is partially my fault in general, especially when i needed to take that idol in order to protect myself). i consider you my biggest rival throughout the postmerge and someone who was incredibly tough and well connected to the point where you were never targeted until the f6 tribal council where you went home in itself, and i had to pull out every stop to get you targeted over me when there was no chance a gettin out someone like grogu who still had that nullifier on his side. you were never gonna let me get to the end no matter what cos of the incredibly visible game i played and you were completely right to butt heads with me the same way i saw you as a threat in general as well. plagueis said that you were the best all around player when it comes to social, strategic, and challenge game and i would honestly have to agree with him cos you are a FORCE to be reckoned with. if you had won that challenge there i have no doubt that youd be sittin here instead of me. i also really admire the classy way you went out and the insight you gave into my game, and i hope i can show off the same resilience and tenacity that you respected when you were eliminated. big appreciation to you for playing such a strong game my dude

shiiit dude. where did we end up goin wrong? we never met each other prior to the shipwreck, and since that was a mess in and of its own right what with the dnd members ending up bein the biggest targets i think that we were never truly able to connect and form a bond (that and snow leopard kinda gave a bad first impression a me that was outta my control). i ended up voting for you to go to save bard's friend even if i didnt really have a preference on who was eliminated, and we met up again in the flatlands where i targeted and voted out ranger. i wanted to bring you or plagueis back to life and only had the slightest preference, and when we actually ended up with you comin back i think that my own indecision there caused you to never really trust me (that and you identified me and bard as power players that you shouldnt go to the end with right off a the bat, which made our job a lot harder). you might have suffered a lotta issues with personal life and work and whatnot, but i still respect the game you played and going from voted out first after missing the marooning all the way to having to be taken out at the final five in firemaking and making it the furthest out of your entire tribe is a really commendable achievement, and you should definitely be happy with how you did. i hope i can see you improve and learn from your mistakes in the future cos you are the type a person i really wanna learn more about when it comes down to it. mad credit to you for fighting round after round to make it this far.
