Local bitch here. Time to ride the karma train to hell, because I am giving you exactly what you have given.

Brett
Brett,  you made quite a few mistakes in the game. But you did better than these two, so congrats. You actually had a social game. You treated us like human beings. You made the effort to talk to us daily, and you were always kind and open, even if we weren’t on the same side.

You didn’t have the same preexisting connections that Jamie or even Jared did, and I think you played a really spectacular game for what you were given. We all made mistakes, some of us, much much worse than others, but you took your game into your own hands.

I definitely can’t say the same for Jared, and Jamie took her game into her own hands, by attacking people and using her previous connections in pretty hardcore fucked up ways.

Brett, I know a lot of people think that voting Sora out was one of your mistakes, but I genuinely think voting out Sora was a good move for you.

Sora might disagree, but with Sora having an idol, and Sora seeming to be much closer to Jamie than you, there was no reason to stay loyal to someone who could potentially idol you out on accident, and someone who had other priorities in mind. Sora was very dominating, and he overshadowed your game, and it’s definitely a great decision, and was definitely a factor to you being here right now.

Sora being out of the game opened up new paths for you, even if they did or did not work out.

You decided to make a lot of decisions that could have been prevented if you had any foresight.

Your fast pass was arguably the stupidest thing you could have done, from a strategic standpoint. But I might not know everything.

It shows that you did not care about your allies, and you did not have enough foresight to see that it was a bad strategic move, that it could affect your game because it could eliminate one of your allies because of the lesser numbers.

And it did.

My question to you is, ''' why didn’t you calculate this into your decision? You had a group of loyal allies, and you turned on them for your own benefit for ONE vote. Did you really think you would be in so much danger? Or did you simply just not care, or even think of the consequences? ''' Just explain to me your reasoning.

Be honest. I’d rather you tell me what was going through your mind, than some jury pandered bullshit.

Another question I have is, '''why didn’t you trust me with Emile? I told you that we still could have gotten Jamie out with Emile. There would be no reason for Emile to not want to save himself at that point, and I told you that he would be okay with it, so why didn’t you trust me? He hadn’t voted, and he literally would have been willing to save his ass, so why did you immediately trust Sora’s judgment on Emile? '''

I’ll probably have a few more questions to elaborate after you reply, so just keep watch.

Jared
'''Jared. ''' I choked through your speech, and the only thing I have to say is?

It’s easy to stick to the same alliance all through and through, to do what’s “best” for your game and stick to the “easy” moves, but it’s also easy to ride coattails to the end. Goating is a great way to get to finals, but a terrible way to win. You say you were aware, but you were given options to move forwards and improve your game, rather than just stick to the easy path that you knew would get you further, but you never swayed.

You know why you got far? Because you and Jamie had your premades protecting you. Not because of your games. You both had horrific social games, you acted like terrible people, I mean, sure, staging a fight can be a strategic move but you come off as a FUCKING jackass.

I have zero respect for you. You kicked people when they were down. You had a fucking shit social game, you refused to talk to people on the bottom, and as far as I’m concerned, you didn’t do anything.

And just to be certain that you know this? I never made up fucking NyQuil. That’s a fucking dick move. I might play these games and I might come off as a bitch, but I don’t go personal.

But honestly, you did kind of press “snooze” throughout the entire game.

Jamie
Jamie,  I've got quite a bit to say to you. Specifically regarding your actions throughout the game.

You played the victim all throughout the game, and it all started on Hizoku.

You cried and whined that you were on the bottom of Hizoku from Day 2 because of me and Alexa, and honestly, you’re delusional. I tried to fucking save you Day 2, which literally turned Alexa against me, so don’t pull that crap.

You may have been targeted from the start, but you were given the chance to repair this, but instead, you treated the people who could have helped you like crap.

I liked you. I wanted to work with both you and Jared. And you made the conscious decision to make me feel inferior, like you were so much better than everyone else, to tell me that I wasn’t as good as you, that when I tried to help, I was going to ruin everything.

There was no premerge Ash/Alexa “GET JAMIE OUT” parade. There never was. I wanted Alexa out, and she wanted me out.

I wanted to protect you and Jared because I didn’t see the point of isolating you if you weren’t really a duo, because it sucks to be screwed throughout the game. But you screwed me more than I screwed you. You say you were isolated, but you isolated yourself, and you forced people on the bottom and disregarded them, treated them like shit, and then pretended to be their friends when you thought you might be in trouble.

You say I went personal against you, when honestly, all that I bitched about was how you treated me, and everyone when it came to challenges.

You were the Challenge God Jamie, and we were inferior. You may have been good in select challenges, but that didn’t give you the right to act like you were better than us. I tried just as hard as you, and I did better than you, but you still treated me like shit. You forced your way into a challenge saying that “Oh, I’ll be better than you in this” and then nearly lost it.

You seemed to disregard the fact that we were supposed to be a united tribe. Instead, you acted like every immunity was on you, when honestly, it wasn’t. Uli won us that 3 part challenge, and I won us the first immunity challenge.

In the gif challenge, (which I was not the one fucking throwing, fuck you, why would I throw it if I put in so much effort to all the other challenges) you treated me like fucking shit, even though I was just trying to help. You told me that I was trying to sabotage the challenge,, you insulted me, you told me that my efforts were wrong, and didn’t fit.

There are kinder ways to say that. Like, “Sorry, Ash, I’m worried that if we change the format, then it won’t seem consistent enough.”

I’m a perfectly rational person, I am an artist, I understand how important consistency is.

But you didn’t do that, you acted like a bitch because you were upset that you had to do everything “alone.”

You complained that nobody helped you, but you didn’t LET anyone help you. You just did everything without saying anything. You can’t just play the victim if you never asked for help, and rudely rejected any when given.

After the swap, you were insistent on editing my page, and then you ATTACKED someone outside of the game because they were reverting your edits. You called them an idiot, a freak and I’m pretty sure you tried to call them retarded as well (before your edit description cut out).

Who the fuck says that’s okay, Jamie?

'''To treat people like shit. '''

'''For no reason. '''

To personally attack someone, who ISN’T EVEN IN THE GAME, over a stupid fucking edit.

That isn’t fucking okay.

And that’s just premerge.

Merge, you faked and cried apologies, and played the victim, like I hadn’t been apologizing enough to Perfect Jamie. You were never honest with me, and even when I tried to genuinely work with you, you rejected it. I can accept the fact that maybe the game turns me into a shitty person, but at least that way I can try to change it.

You made that parchment. Attacking multiple people, because you couldn’t hold back your rage at your “terrible position.” You couldn’t control yourself. And that’s the basis of your entire game. You felt safe, with immunity, so you lashed out.

You don’t think we wanted to lash out? You don’t think we were angry?

But we didn’t go there.

We didn’t take it personally. ''' We didn’t laugh, when you failed, but you laughed at us when we did. '''

How is it fair that you’re allowed to act this way, and get away with it? Who gave you that right?

Oh, and “I will be personally offended if Ash and Alexa make it further than me?” You say I went personal, and then you go there.

You told that to multiple people, to convince them, and threaten them with that, just because you had such a fucking hatred for Alexa and I, when you were just as much of a bitch as we were.

We never took it to the personal level that you did.

You say you secured your position in Final 10, but you could have easily gone home. If people hadn’t voted early, you STILL would have gone home, no matter what you say, because I could have gotten Emile to vote you out as well, but due to Alexa and Brett, I didn’t.

You whined that you were at the bottom of your alliances, which, you weren’t, because all your previous connections protected you, cried “idol! Idol!” to keep you safe.

You treated your allies like crap once they weren’t “useful” to you, you treated your enemies like crap and then went crying to them when you were on the bottom, pretending to be their friend when you had no other intention than using and discarding them.

The reason why I went home was because Chris trusted you over me because of your pregame. Shut the fuck up, because that’s not a game move, that’s a “I have friends!”

Chris trusted you, Jamie, and you USED your friendship with him to benefit yourself, without considering that it might harm your actual relationship. Without considering his feelings.

Sometimes, it isn’t about the game. Sometimes, you have to think about what you’re doing as a person, and realizing that what you’re doing is wrong.

A big part of this game is obviously the social aspect, and making people feel the way they did about you, that isn’t a good thing.

There comes a point when it isn’t just about you, Jamie. That’s why Survivor is such an intricate game, you can’t just keep your game in mind, you have to think about others and their perceptions of you, and what you’re doing to others.

You have these misconceptions, as you stated, about people. But you don’t even see your misconceptions. I would have worked with you, I wanted to work with you from the start, but everything you did just made that impossible.

Jamie, you and Jared survived because half the cast either used the tactic of idol fear, or were victims of it. You arguably had no life, and you just won immunities. It’s far more impressive to make it to the end without winning nonstop immunities, like Brett or even Jared. The point is, you would have gone home, they had to maneuver their own safeties.

So don’t pull that crap on me. You didn’t play a good game. Sure, you made “moves.” But you let Chris, Sora, and everyone else protect you, and then you heartlessly backstabbed them. You didn’t protect yourself, you didn’t make those necessary moves to keep yourself safe. Your allies did.

The only reason why anyone in this game would have talked shit about you, is if you deserved it. If you instigated it.

And you did. Multiple times. With the parchment, and the challenges, the name-calling, and the fights. We’re supposed to act like adults, not middle schoolers.

You seem to forget that this isn’t a game of fucking robots, it’s a game with people, who have feelings. Fuck you for just calling us “bitter.” You fucking insulted us, just because you could. You neglected the fact that we are human, we have feelings, and that THIS IS NOT JUST A FUCKING GAME.

It’s not that we’re bitter. We’re hurt. Because you chose to treat us badly, and now you’re backpedaling, pandering and bullshitting for our jury votes. You can’t erase what you did, Jamie.

Survivor is a social experiment. You, sadly, have failed it.

And fuck you for calling me a fucking freak, and saying that you would be personally fucking offended if I went home over you, when I trusted you in the start, when I genuinely thought we were friends, when I trusted you with personal stuff, fuck you for treating me like shit.

Fuck you for treating Chris like shit too. He’s your friend. He’s the LAST person you should be treating this way.

So don’t count on getting my vote.

You can apologize all you want, but that doesn’t change how you acted through the game. You can’t go back and redo it.

But for the sake of your friendships, own up to your fucking crap and learn to be a better fucking person.

Learn from your mistakes. So you don’t fuck up more than this stupid fucking game. That was so fucking important to you that you decided to act like an immature twat, and treat every single person in this game like they were inferior to you.

Final Thoughts
In an online Survivor game, a very important portion of the game is the social game. Two of you have failed it, in completely different ways. I must give congratulations to the three of you for making it, but I don't think all of you deserved it.

If any of you are personally offended by what I have said, feel free to confront me about it, but nothing said here has been intended to reach beyond the limits of this game, and to question your motives.

Sometimes, the games reflect who we really are, showing us the dark, cruel, aspects of our psyche. The importance in life is to know your boundaries. It's important to understand who you are, and what you are capable of, and most of all, knowing when to ''' stop. '''

It's been real. It's been fun. But it hasn't been real fun.
