Rites of Passage

Sierra

My love <3

Words cannot express how amazing you are.

In the beginning, I was terrified
Dan and Chelsea didn't leave warriors on such great terms
You and Osten seemingly had a great relation
But we jived.
We talked a lot.
And not just game.

We were separated too soon.

At merge things got a little dicey because we
REALLY
wanted to work together
but we both had separate allies

I think we both made some sacrifices 
but hey
we're both here and I can't wait to see what happens.

<3
You will forever be a dear friend
May your soul always have a companion.

Jeff!

Fate brought us to be a duo.
We were always together since the beginning of the game.

The PENEDOs had an alliance without you/me
because at the beginning we were not on AIM a lot

But we broke that up.

We broke up several pairs and alliances.
You helped keep my heart out of moves and decisions.
You were my rock.
A voice of reason.

I tried distancing myself from you at merge in other people's minds
so that people would not target us.
I still knew you had my best interests at heart.
and I think that idol play really put you in a great position.


I can't wait to see who you are at the end.
You and I really bonded over Survivor auditioning and your past games
when I went searching through the boards and found information on you...
lol oops.
I hope we continue talking after the game is over.

Start together. End together. 
<3

We're all such nice people...WHAT HAPPENED TO US THIS IS GROSS!!!

[Jeff]

I guess since it's now a thing, I should probably follow suit (but I never saved a PSD file for my graphic, so you get a different one)


You have no idea how glad I was to find you in this game. There is always that one person that you can just trust to be by your side and, although this ride has NOT been easy for either of us, you were always there for me. From the start, we were stuck on the outs and we just knew we had to stick together. Luckily we had an opening that allowed us to get through Penedo v1. Once we swapped, we kept landing together and I just consider it fate that we always had each other because I don't even know if we would be here if we got separated at any point. I've never been with someone throughout so many swaps and I just keep looking back on our journey and it's incredible. I hope to continue the journey to the very end and I thank you for sticking by me because I'm sure there were opportunities to not do so and you stuck with me anyway. You were my #1 from start to finish and I can't thank you enough for all your support throughout the game. <3


Bro, I caught onto who you were within our first conversation of the game: similar type of character, the way you talked, Smash Bros...so instantly I became nervous for if you figure out who I was. The issue with past games is even if I'm over it, that doesn't mean the other person is and I have to react and maneuver based on what I think you might be thinking about me regardless of what you say to my face. I was pleasantly surprised that no prior beef came between us and I'm glad you didn't out you knowing who I was until 2 rounds ago or else I probably would have been too paranoid to trust you throughout merge. It's weird because we considered each other both close in this game, yet we never really voted together or worked together. I guess the potential to have the other in the future was mutually beneficial, but regardless of what happens, I consider you a friend and am happy that we at least worked together for the most part this game.


(It's nearly impossible to find a pic where she isn't like sulking or sad)

Girl, where do I start? I knew who you were INSTANTLY and when I outed you, your reaction made me SO sad because you said you were seriously trying. Maybe it's the fact I had only seen you play once before and it was as Sierra and that was pretty recent so it just all made sense. I have been playing these for how many years now and I still can't hide from people...sigh...ANYWAY, I was so happy to be able to play this game with you from start to finish regardless of the rocky road that we have had. Head and the heart, although a great band, seemed to be the biggest issue for a lot of people and you were one of them. I don't know if I would be sitting here if you didn't struggle with that or if you would still have let me get here as opposed to people like Crystal or Tom, but I'm glad I'm sitting here and glad I'm sitting here with you. Regardless of what happens, I want to continue to be friends because I love anyone who can let me sit there and talk crap and then join in and do it with me! <3 You were a perfect counterpart to me and the only regret I have was out of my control because it was being separated from you for all the swaps. I think we could have been a great alliance in merge otherwise.

[Jeff]

We should all make a burn book of the cast instead

[Chelsea]

OMG YAS. LET"S DO IT.

Made out with a hot dog

FAKE.

Temper tantrum sisters.

Parvati- Inactive


Nat T- Inactive


Debbie- Wow. You were so shady and so socially inept. You were totally unable to pick a target which made you a target, then made a deal with me only to vote for me, then accused me of being inactive when you were literally twice as inactive. You were cool to talk to for a day but that’s about it.


Ed- Cool I guess. Wish we could’ve played together.


Osten- This guy was cool, really cool. I felt really bad voting him out. One of the more robbed people of the season imo.


Ian- MY BRO! This guy was awesome. He was always great to talk to and just such a funny guy. I loved being able to talk game and real life stuff with him and I felt like we had a really good bond. He made a few mistakes the round he went but I was so grateful for him playing his idol on me. I just wish I had been more active in this game so I could’ve prevented his blindside.


Amber- No comment.


John- Sorry, you were just on the wrong side of numbers though I will say you seemed very shady and unwilling to work with me which freaked me out. Nice guy though. I wish we could’ve gotten to know each other more.


Kimmi- I actually really enjoyed talking to you for the little bit of time we were in the game together. You always seemed really smart and insightful and it was pretty cool getting to know you. We split up early which sucked because it would’ve been great to talk more but I guess it’s the game. I hope we can talk more after the game about Survivor and more.


Cirie- You were pretty inactive early on and we never really bonded which is the main reason I didn’t vote with you. You seemed nice and bubbly but I just can’t work with someone who I can’t bond with.


Jaime- I wish we could’ve talked because I heard you were such a sweet guy but we never ended up together and Tom couldn’t allow another alpha male to make it through to the merge. Sorry to see you go buddy.


Ozzy- This vote was heartbreaking. We had a few good talks early on and you were always someone I liked a lot. I really wish we could’ve made that vote work because I truly think this would’ve ended a bit differently but gj man and I hope you don’t leave ORGs like you said you would because I’d love to play with you again. GL to the Eagles also.


Shane- You were pretty crazy and kind of a douche, especially after our vote didn’t work but when you quit doing the character, you were pretty chill and cool to talk to. Still very shady and very erratic. If only production hadn’t just given you that jury seat, Ian could’ve possible come back.


Crystal- Sigh. I regret what happened with you because we had a great thing going for sure but I just couldn’t keep Cirie over Sierra that round. I know I lied to you and betrayed you and I’ll honestly never be content with what happened. Sorry again and I hope we can be friends.


Tom- You constantly rank on other people and talk about how they’ll never win, or need to work on jury management, or suck at the game, or whatever but have you looked at yourself? You need to stop giving people shit and admit when you get beat. You can be a cool guy and I just wish you allowed that side of you to show more. Nevertheless, game talks with you can be pretty fun and I hope to have more of them when this thing is over.


Steph- Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Can’t say it enough. I liked you a lot and still do. We bonded over so much and on a personal level I feel so close to you. On a game level, I just had to do something for two people I cared immensely about and I’m so sorry that this couldn’t work. Looking back, I really wish you would’ve stayed and a certain person who was immune would’ve went out. But sometimes the game of Survivor sucks. I really really hope we can be friends because you are awesome. Wildcats for life.


Matty- Did I look up awesome in the dictionary? Because your picture is right here buddy. You are quite literally The Man in every sense of the word and it absolutely sucks that you went home because of the circumstances you ended up in. We will always be great friends and never forget what a cool guy you are. You are so smart and are the most robbed player this season. Good luck in every game you play and I can’t wait to talk more when this game is over.


Chelsea- We didn’t click so there’s not much I can say. Our personalities don’t totally mesh and that’s ok. It’s the game. Good luck nevertheless and I will say you have played a lot better than I have given you credit for. I hope we can maybe talk more and get to know each other a bit more but if not I’m sure our paths will cross again sometime.


Varner- I’m very torn here because you are such a cool guy on a personal level and a great friend to be able to talk to but on a game level you are just so shady. What you talked about last tribal certainly bothered me but I really think we cleared things up and I hope we can leave game stuff in the game and be friends outside of this because you are one of the most fun people to talk to and someone I could see myself being friends with irl. GL man, you played this thing hard.


Sierra- They save the best for last. Cue the long emotional paragraph that 98% of the people reading this will just skip. You are such an amazing person and one of the best I have ever met in these games. You are a true friend and one that I will take with me for a very long time. You are one of the sweetest, nicest, most good-hearted people I’ve ever met in or out of these games and I couldn’t have been given a better ally or friend. I am so happy that you broke your fifth place curse and I really hope you can win this thing because you truly deserve it. I wish I could’ve played with you when I wasn’t such a useless inactive and that you can play with me where I’m at my best so we can truly be a power duo as opposed to Sierra and her vote doubler. Great job and thank you for everything you said about me. It’s very appreciated.

To the host and PWs: Sorry again, can’t say it enough. To those who have seen me play, I’m sorry for not giving this game my all and trying to be a force to be reckoned with because that obviously would have been more entertaining but not much I can do to change the past. To those who haven’t seen me play, please don’t give up on me and give me a second chance if you ever see me play again. To John, sorry again my man but sometimes in these games I suck.

So without further ado, let’s get this thing on the road and close this out. Good luck you three.
