[Part two] ==Yannick == “ If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied  And illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs  If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks  Then I'll follow you into the dark”

I’m going to try hard not to be tooooo sappy. But you know how crushed I was by you leaving. This was your third chance and possibly your last where I could still have an opportunity to return. I would have had no problem taking that rock and watching you get to the point where I am now and if I could switch seats with you, I would. I feel like you’re just a solid dude and someone I genuinely connect with. When I came into this game I felt like no one actually wanted to play with me. That I was a number or a meat shield or a bridge between relationships. You were the only one that I felt was true ally. Thanks for all the laughs and being the best ally a dude could ask for. Oh, and sorry about wasting your idol... ==Julia == “ Oh, and we carried it all so well <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">As if we got a new position <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">Saying, 'yes, this is a fine promotion. <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell”

But my first biggest regret of the game was voting you out. When you told me to get my face tf out of your messages I was legit shaky. I regretted it on a personal level, not on a game level. On a game level, it was the right move. It was the move that got me to where I am today. By voting you out, I was able to replace you with Jace and Maya temporarily to vote out Pris and then begin my pendulum swing which got me this far in the game. The problem with that strategy… it was effective, yet came with a lot of cost. It came at the cost of my personal relationships, ones I valued, and is a complex part of this game I’m going to just have to deal with. There’s a verse in the Bible that talks about the one unforgivable sin which is “blaspheming the Holy Spirit.” Theologians have debated for years what this means. No one has the answer. Until now, because when you use someone as a move against someone else at the cost of your personal relationship, that to me is blaspheming the Holy Spirit and I don’t expect forgiveness. And in conjunction with the lyrics for you, sometimes when people set themselves on a path towards the end they call it “laughing all the way to the bank” but in my case I think I’m laughing myself straight to Hell. ==<span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:700;font-size:15pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">Pris == <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:4pt;margin-bottom:11pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">“ <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">And if they try to slow you down <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">Tell em all to go to hell”

You never bowed down to false authority and played hard every second of the game. Your guts, your will, your vulnerability, made you the most compelling player on the season which also made you one of the most dangerous. I felt like for the longest time I was the only one afraid of you and people were like “But she’s Pris!” and I’m like “Yeah! And she’s playing an intuitive fucking game and making her own decisions and that will bite everyone in the ass if we’re up against her in the end!” You are the only other person in this game that I think feels this game on a similar emotional level to me. That’s one thing I have never been able to hide about myself. I’m a sensitive dude. I play to Survive but those decisions come with a heavy price. You played with a certain level of vulnerability that was really interesting/appealing/terrifying to me. But in the end, you played your game your way and what could anyone else ask of you? And remember… if they try to slow you down. Just tell em all to go to Hell. ==<span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:700;font-size:15pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">Maya == <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:4pt;margin-bottom:11pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-style:italic;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">“ <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">Aggressively, we all defend the role we play <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">Regrettably, the time's come to send you on your way <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">We've seen it all: from bonfires of trust to flash floods of pain <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">It doesn't really matter; don't you worry, it will all work out <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">No, it doesn't really matter; don't worry, that ain't what it's all about” <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">I said a lot to you in the chat with Jace before you left but unfortunately you were asleep and didn’t get a chance to respond. A lot of that vote was out of your control but it was more about who did I think I could win against in an F4 scenario, you or Rhi, and the answer was Rhi. We had our ups and downs in this game! We were in S&S together while you were in a secret alliance with Chris and Julia. But you still saved me at F13. Then was in on a plan you thought was on me when I was accidentally in on a plan against Jace. Then the F8 rocks debacle. My D-Day. Then the Julia vote. Then your vote. You’re a very strong player and you were just as tight with Jace as I was with Yannick and Rhi was with Jake and Julez was with the Friendship Idol. It was great to see an old school player return after so much time and you killed it this season.

The reason why you’re there and I’m here is the difference of one point. I’m well aware of how lucky I got. You were the only player at F4 that I thought had it in the bag. I believe to this day that you would have beaten me, Jace or Jake hands down if you made it to the end. You played a methodically effective game even with your heavy work schedule. You were good at reading people except for some early misreads but your gut made a lot of right calls down the line that got you very far. Your self-assertiveness and calculated gameplay was intimidating and I have nothing but respect for the game you played. <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-style:italic;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-position:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">Holy shit are these things always this long? That took me like 3 Hours. I got to go to bed! Thank you all for playing your hearts out. I hope the VL appreciates how awesome this season has been. It’s been so lit because people came to play.
