I know that I've gotten to know some of you very closely so I've tried to be mindful of what some of you have confided in me and I've left out very important details for that reason for some people.

Additionally, for many of you, it just wasn’t feasible for me to list out everything that I know about you and I had to pick and choose the things that came up to mind as I was writing this. :)

Danielle - Danielle geographically lives very close to me, she is currently a senior and she goes to highschool in upstate New York. Danielle is still unsure about what she wants to do when she graduates because she currently is dealing with some personal stuff but I know that everything will turn out great for her - hope you take my advice to heart :) Danielle LOVES horror movies and she loves TV shows that are filled with drama like Bad Girls Club ;). Danielle is very busy though because of school and she only has time on weekends to watch movies and TV shows and she enjoys doing so because it helps her take her mind off of school.

Ronel - Ronel is currently going through a lot of stress in real life. 2016 was a very bad year for him and the events that happened that year still affect him even today and has changed his outlook on life. Keep your head up buddy and just keep swimming and keep fighting those waves. Ronel is studying at a college in his hometown and he will be graduating next year. He will be leaving the ORG community soon because he wants to focus on stuff in real life. He is thinking of perhaps going back to school in the future, but he is worried about financial limitations that may stop him. I don’t know if this is true or not but this is just a sense that I got from him, but I think that Ronel is a bit self-conscious and maybe even worried about the fact that he is currently single; I just wanted to say that you are an amazing person and I know that you will find someone perfect for you because that’s who you deserve.

Jo - Above all, Jo wants to change the perception that people in this community may have of him. He made some mistakes when he first joined and he regrets his actions and those he has hurt and he wants to show everyone that he has changed and has become more levelheaded as a person. Jo loves to sing and he is a very great and emotional singer. Jo is from India and his mother language is Khasi; he can also speak English of course and Hindi. Jo is against drinking because of past events in his life. Jo wants to do business and he has gotten interview offers from very prestigious schools; his interviews started on February 3rd, I don't know how they went, but I hope they went well :)

Felicia - First of all, I found out sadly that Felicia is actually not in love with me :( Felicia is a very sweet girl who places others before her. She just recently got a job working with the elderly. Felicia lives with her dad and she cares a lot about her family; the reason why she was less active towards the later part of the game was because she was spending time with her mom. It takes exactly 8 hours for her to go from her dad's to her mom's even though geographically, it should take a shorter amount of time. She often spends time out with her friends and alcohol is sometimes involved ;) She loves Netflix and she and I both really enjoy Daredevil and her favourite character is the Punisher. Felicia has a great taste in music and she always knows what to send me when I need a song to calm me down.

Dean - Dean and I have known each other for about a year now so this is a bit unfair ;) Dean has a sister who is 17 years old and he wasn't active for a large part of pre-swap because he wanted to spend time with his sister during the holiday season. Dean currently is going to college to become a sports broadcaster. I may be wrong by 1 inch or so but Dean is a big guy and I've told him multiple times that I would not want to get in a fight with him, he's 6 ft 4 inches. Dean has a really fucking bad microphone and you always get 1/2 Dean's voice 1/2 background noise. One of the things that Dean really struggles with is that he sometimes feels that his opinion isn't being heard by others; in many survivor games, he puts on this persona of being arrogant and maybe even at times, a dick. However, he is anything but that, he cares about his friends and he would do anything to help them which is evident from when we talked about a person we both know mutually, Dylan, and his effect on his friends. Dean is very self-conscious about how others view him and I always get the feeling that he's looking for approval from others, whether it's from me about his Survivor gameplay or from the Viewing Lounge about his actions. Dean grew up with EpicMafia and I think that this community has really shaped him as a person. Dean has an unhealthy obsession with Boston sports teams, especially the Patriots and I unfortunately lost to him in fantasy football. Dean's favourite bands are Franz Ferdinand and LCD Soundsystem. Over the course of this game, Dean got high for the first time and he may actually be more obnoxious while high than when sober. Finally, Dean really embraces the fact that he is autistic and it’s something that he is proud of.

Blake -  I think that no jury member knows how close Blake and I really are. I believe that it would be disrespectful to him to reveal everything that he has told me. Additionally, if I just avoided the really personal stuff I know about Blake and posted everything else I know about him, it would give off the impression that our relationship was superficial. I'm going to have to abstain from this one dkbhs.

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#3a3a3a;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Cat - Cat is one of the people that I admire most in this game. She is currently studying liberal arts at a local college; she lives off-campus with her mom which means that she has to drive to class every day. She often has classes from morning until night and she is always busy. Cat also has a vulnerable side and she does deal with personal issues, but she tries to keep herself busy to distract herself. Cat is VERY passionate about theater and she was the President of Theater during high school for 2 years. She also was part of speech team and she is a very good public speaker (and apparently a great writer too ;)) Cat has exactly 5 siblings who all live very close to her even though she may not necessarily be that close with them. She is the 4th oldest out of the 6. Cat has a passion for Japanese culture, she once told me that she really would like to study in Japan some day; her wiki username also shows that she really likes Japanese culture.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> Issy - Issy is one of the funniest girls that I have met both in real life and online. However, she uses her humor often to defuse tension and to avoid more serious or personal conversations. She doesn’t like school much and her ballroom dancing and volleyball careers were tragically cut short. Issy is a dog person but she has a cat; she also gets really offended if you insult her cat which I totally did not do. She’s also sensitive about people giving her low scores on her ability to make memes for challenges. She enjoys calling people, especially myself, wankers and she likes to insist that The Itsy Bitsy Spider is the Incy Wincy Spider which is completely ridiculous. Issy lives with her mother, but she is very close with her father. She has a gran living in the UK who apparently does not enjoy watching scarring movies with Isabel. She also has a half-brother named Dan who both she and her family has not seen in a long time. Finally, I don’t think Isabel likes opening herself up to people in the online community which is totally understandable. I believe that she doesn’t put as much value into online friendships as I do which is why I’m really worried that we’ll lose contact after this game is over.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Ryan - Ryan is currently in college studying math/science, but he is still unsure as to which direction he wants to go within those fields. Ryan also goes to school fairly close to me geographically, similar to Danielle. Ryan is an avid volleyball player and would really like to join a recreational league where people don’t take it as seriously as a super competitive match; he played a couple of seasons in middle school and high school, but like me, he was also deterred by the other people on the team. Ryan is a very good person who knows right from wrong as evident from our conversations about our mutual friend Jessy and how she was being bullied on EpicMafia. Ryan loves his chill music and female British rappers; 2 of his favourite bands are alt-J and Tame Impala.
