Yo
I know most of you are over this game by now but I’m still going to give a not so brief summary. I’ve lost so many of these that I don’t find reason to bullshit you or kiss your ass, I’m going to tell you what I thought and how I played to get to the end. I would hope you can hear me out, rip into me, and see my perspective throughout this game.
There’s a lot that I can say because I’ve said a lot to Julian lmao. Over 2,000+ skype messages of me bullshitting about this game in his PMs but I’ll tell you the easy to read timeline.
From the start I signed up to do as much damage as I can to make up for my early boot last time I played. It turned into an actual clean game because I made connections with a lot of people right off the bat and wanted to align with who I thought would be the messiest but loyal because I’m always an easy target but with this cast I felt I could maybe get away with playing behind the scenes.
Premerge I made allies with Hufus, Sadie, Dana, Brady, Tris, Paul, Billy, Jimmy, Nathan, and Richie.
Me Tris and Dana worked the entire Premerge on our tribe. I didn’t like Dana at all going into this but I figured I needed someone that is targeted just as much as me to string along until I got together with All of with my real allies of Hufus, Billy, Sadie, Tris and as much as I tried to get Richie in on it because I knew it would come back to haunt us when we got to merge being already big threats. We ultimately sacrificed him as an ally to get us all to merge. Richie was too smart to keep playing dumb and I told dana this. I was ok with him straying from me at Merge though because I knew that he had nowhere to actually escape because I had a few allies in each direction.
AJ, ARMANTI, Jay were people that were connected to my circle of connections I was aligned to.
First tribal of merge said it all. Dana won immunity flat out. I honestly liked that Dana was a comp beast and that he talked too much. It made him a shield for me right away.
Something I realized once I had escaped Premerge was AJ was the only one not to talk to me. I also realized that AJ had a close connection with Dana and Brady who I thought of as being in my circle. He was also for sure close to everyone else on the tribe. Brady, Dana, and I voted Erik when nobody would do anything but Tris and Brady and Dana played that idol and didn’t tell me at all about the idol. This is when I started to feel like Dana and Brady were definitely in it for themselves. Once that recast thing happened I felt like it was the perfect opportunity to get AJ out. I remember saying days before the tribal that AJ is the biggest threat in the game and he will win. I had no idea that dana and Brady would vote him since he was feeding them info and such but they did and I pulled in Sadie and Hufus with us. And I glued that group of Six in order to save me. I do believe AJ would’ve won and I think that he and I knew we weren’t talking to eachother and we stood in the way of eachother.
After that I felt unbelievably good about where I was in the game. Getting that many votes tends to take the focus off of you for a second. I had four people that I had a reason to vote out now. I knew the lines and I had my circle. People came to talk to me that previously weren’t and I think The fact everyone voted jay out for no reason other than that nobody wanted to be next proved that.
And then BRADY happened. Like I wasn’t expecting it to happen right away not by someone I thought was completely loyal. Brady and Hufus in my mind were my F3, but Brady exposed my game as soon as he realized I was going to walk to the end. But props to Brady for predicting this outcome tbh.
This caused all of the focus off Dana though for the time being and that showed when he didn’t leave when he finally lost immunity.
I wanted him to stick around because I didn’t trust having ARMANTI, Brady, Richie, Erik, Chandler all in the game and possibly winning immunities and sending my allies to Ghost island to get me out. I thought I could at least keep Dana on my side and have him win these immunities so I could have some influence on who goes to Ghost Island.
I knew Dana was being pulled by Brady but I figured he would remain loyal to me because he told me what was going on.
I told Hufus and Sadie, That even though Dana is a mess trying to play both sides, we just need to work with him a while longer because he’s a shield.
Then Dana and Tris voted Erik out for no reason and I think this hurt their game and helped mine because it solidified Hufus, Sadie, and I as a three and Dana as just a messy threat. At that point I think Dana was trying to separate his game from mine to make it look like he was in complete control.
I immediately made a chat with Hufus and Sadie to try and keep us calm so we could maneuver this game to get to the end.
I wasn’t good with Erik or Brady anyway at the end of the day so then leaving, the order didn’t matter it only made Hufus and Sadie trust me more than Dana and Tris. We were able to come together and still have Dana and Tris voting out people that wanted me out. So we made Dana and Tris feel comfortable until we had another opportunity.
Dana had immunity every time so what were we going to do against him for the time being. And he agreed to just keep voting with our alliance until the F5 so we could play it out from there so it didn’t hurt. At that point I just wanted everyone that wanted me out, Richie, ARMANTI, Brady.
When we got to another point where Dana didn’t have immunity. I had known about Dana having an idol. I thought there’s no way someone doesn’t play an idol at F6 when they’re being told they have the numbers moving forward anyway. So we split the votes on Tris because Tris and Dana were really too close to eachother to be going any farther. After that failed I just figured I still had atleast one more opportunity to get Dana.
He ended up winning immunity again and Hufus who I wanted to go to the end with, decided that he didn’t want to go to the end and that really sucked because I didn’t want Chandler or Dana to be in the end with me, but I wasn’t going to let Hufus get attacked up at ftc so I told him I would fill in for him and let him be voted off.
After I won final immunity I knew it was either
Capitalize and Vote Dana off; My entire game has been using Dana as a shield and getting out people that wanted me. It wasn’t a loyalty thing I know how Dana’s game looks, and I don’t think I owe him anything because I tried voting him out already, and he was playing his own game by kissing ass in other chats before the Brady vote.
The other option was vote
Chandler, I felt like had a lot of friends on the jury and I think he could’ve played off the fact that he ultimately cracked my circle. If it was him and me.
I fucked up our convo at the end, I was voting Dana out
But Chandler said me trying to go to the end with someone like Dana means I’m a pussy
So then I said fuck this game
And let it go to luck because it’s All in good fun and I think that it speaks to the theme of the season.
I’m happy with whoever wins because at the end of the day, I contributed a lot to this group and They had my back
Dana fought hard in every challenge and vote. Sadie played a really good UTR game.
They both deserve imo
Tear into me
