Board Thread:Season 29 - Azerbaijan/@comment-26725365-20151130225057





 There’s an old Azerbaijan saying that goes something like this: “Leaving scissors with opened blades brings misfortune and even death.” Tonight, that will be true for one of you. For the other, there’s a more contemporary saying that comes to mind: ''“Life’s like a movie. Write your own ending.”'' This quote is from modern day philosopher—Kermit the Frog. 



 Before I say anything else, I must first thank the Hosts for putting up with our crazy bullshit, the Cast for putting up with each other’s crazy bullshit, and the Viewing Lounge for thoroughly enjoying all of our crazy bullshit. 



 We’re all psychos. 



 When I first arrived in Azerbaijan, I’m not going to lie… I shit myself. I was wearing kaki shorts so it was very obvious. There were brown rings on my butt that look like I sat on a stove element. Running down my leg, could only be described as melted chocolate bars. This distracted Jeff Probst because Jeff, not only despises the site of poop, he surgically removed his butt hole years ago so he would never have to poop again. 



 Jeff looked at me, with deep concern, his breath dank of fresh throw-up. “Big Poppa Cliffy… We’ve been here for five minutes… Why the Hell did you shit your pants?! Why Cliffy why!!? 

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(50,51,51);"> If Jeff Probst could cry, he would have cried here, but instead, small droplets of blood trickled down his cheeks. <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(50,51,51);"> “Well, Probst.” I said in my Clint Eastwood voice. “Not all of us can afford to surgically remove our own butt holes. Why do you think I’m here Jeff? WHY DO YOU THINK I’M HERE!!!!??? I need that million dollars, Jeff. I need that million dollars so I can surgically remove my own butt hole.”  <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">

The tap was turned full-on and the hose slinked and snaked all over the place spewing out as much as it can. You took credit for other people’s moves. You verbally accosted us when you knew we were on our way out. You lied when you didn’t have to. You made others feel low. You played the victim. You had no real loyalty. You were vindictive. You were delusional. And most importantly, and quite sadly, you didn’t gain an ounce of respect from me and many of the other jurors. <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">

And I’m pretty sure I just did. BUT as you will point out, you and I played very closely together. We shared our personal lives with one another. That is something I value outside of this game but holds zero merit within it. Out of respect for our conversations and our relationship, I’m not going to shred you (any further). I’m not going to pick you apart until there’s no meat left on the bones because the vultures are coming.

Outside of this game, I have no problem with you, and hope you make something beautiful out of your life. That you can get through rivers of shit and come out clean on the other side. You have the potential to really be a blinding light in the lives of those close to you and can truly make a difference in people if you bring that out of yourself. It was unnerving because I’m a very observant person. And I knew a genuinely, nice and good person, was compromising who she was for the sake of the game. That’s how I won my first ORG. By compromising parts of myself that didn’t need to be compromised. By hurting people who didn’t need to be hurt. I would like to say that when everything was over, the end justified the means but it never did. It left a hole in me for the people I hurt and deceived and that is pain that I have carried forward with me. <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">

You hurt me. Gloating on my way out that it was my fault. Saying that I treated you like a dog. I was desperately fighting for my life and the lives of my allies since the first tribal. Austin got to be a jury member thanks to me telling Minke to tie it up at that first tribal.

I didn’t believe you. I didn’t believe you because you spent ALL DAY trying to come up with reasons to keep Jared and get Felix to give you the idol and when you said, “If you haven’t voted yet, write down Felix.” The first thought in my head was, “What shit is she trying to pull? Why does she want me to vote out my ally.” <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">

The darkness consumed you and I saw great pleasure from a small, insecure girl who was happy to see me defeated. All because I “treated you like a dog”. No Ella. Dogs are loyal. Dogs are man’s best friend. I treated you the same way desperate men treat anyone...with fear. And with urgency. Because I was afraid and knew I lost control and had to regain it quick or it was all over. <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(50,51,51);"> Now. On a personal note. This season for me was the bees knees! I had a great time and came in with the baggage of two previous season wins. To land in 5th place, knowing I had a few crazy superfans out there rooting for me, meant the world. <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(50,51,51);"> I will be taking a break from playing these games but that does not mean I don’t want to be a healthy addition to the ORG community. <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(50,51,51);"> Starting January, I will be hosting my own side-ORG known as ‘dORGk’. The inspiration for this ORG will be to step away from the typical formats and focus more on the people playing and fleshing out their Survivor story. <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">

Will you join me in my new adventure to create another ORG we can be proud of that continues to raise the bar on crea ting the best gaming experience possible? <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">

I am nothing but grateful for my time on Johnny’s Survivor ORG, Big Brother ORG, and Survivor ORG. I look forward to returning as a player and being a part of their future stories one day as well.

It’s a way of fantasy, of playing pretend, but it’s so real to us. It’s amazing the energy we expel on a game with no prize and this has taught me an important life philosophy. “Life is a game with no prize. So don’t play it hard because you expect to get something at the end. Play it hard because the experience itself is the prize.” <span style="color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;white-space:pre-wrap;">
