Skandi – Whilst we haven’t spoken I’ve seen some of your opinions on the show and I agree with pretty much all of them. I’m sure I remember you supporting Dawn and Monica, which is righteous. You’re a well-respected player but I think you had the hardest time overcoming your reputation.

Ali – You’re such a nice person and it was really difficult to vote you out. I know you could have done well if it wasn’t for that awkwardly-timed live challenge. Nothing seems to get you down though and you took your elimination really well.

Kevin – My vote for you wasn’t to eliminate you but to keep Andrei, and I’m sorry that you were sort of a victim of circumstance in that regard. I have a lot of respect for your moralistic approach to this game and your attempts to play with integrity to the show.

Mark – Whilst we didn’t get a chance to play together in this game, I respect that on the DrPanda wiki we were on rival sides for most of the game yet in the end you were the one person to stick by me. Also Hunger Games <3

Charlie – I admire your healthy disrespect for the wankery that sometimes goes on around here as well as your opinions on the show. Vecepia love should be universal.

Mike – Even though we weren’t on the same tribe I’m glad we got a chance to talk. You’re a nice, grounded guy and if you could have survived to the tribe swap I think you had set yourself up to do well. Canada has excellent public transport. Also I love that almost everybody’s mangatars are smiling and yours is just dead serious.

Johan-Amir – All I’m going to say is that I know you were just trying to save your ally but the way you went about it felt like intimidation and I didn’t appreciate that.

Alejandro – We did have a bit of a strained relationship towards the end of Korea but I’m glad we managed to put that behind us. You played very well in Korea but your strategy didn’t quite translate to this game. You are a good-natured and friendly person though and it is apparent why so many people enjoy watching you play.

Ash – You were doing well and unfortunately ended up in a very difficult position at the tribe swap. I’m glad we got to be on a tribe together. You are a great person, a great player and just boss as all hell. I seriously can't say how amazing you are. We both struggled together on those challenges but your motivation really helped turn our tribe around and become awesome once more.

Henry – You shouldn’t feel bad about how you played this game because you were in a great position on your original tribe. Your vote-off wasn’t an easy one but I think you handled it with maturity. You were the original Player of the Season and you’re still kicking butt and taking names after all this time.

Hunter – Another very difficult vote, probably the vote I agonised over the longest. You are a better player than you realise. Do you know how many people were threatened by you? Being able to intimidate an All-Stars cast is not an easy feat. You were definitely one of the strongest pre-merge contestants.

Hickman – The first-ever winner! Don’t let people take anything away from your win because it’s obvious how hard you worked and how much you accomplished. You were only 13 when you won! You beat Alfons and you should never let him forget that. Whilst we didn’t get a chance to interact in this game you proved you can still play this game well.

Sharky – Again, our paths never crossed but you stormed to the end in Cote and still did very well here. I don’t think sharks actually roar though…

Jhet – Giving up your idol was not a dumb move because it kept you in the game. Better to have no idol and still be in than to keep it and go home. I did deceive you on Rolih but you showed great character not to hold that against me. I wish I could have made that up to you but I’m glad I didn’t vote for you, and you took your elimination very well.

Sole – You’re one of the nicest people in this game and I really wish you could have gone further. I don’t think you had an easy path through this game but you fought and fought and fought, and to make it as far as you did is not a failure. I’m proud of you and I hope you are too.

Gerard – Having played the most days out of anyone is an achievement that will be difficult to beat. There is no shame in going out the way you did. You had the awareness to try to better your position and I respect anyone that fights for their place in this game.

<p class="MsoNormal">Adam – You showed you had what it takes to win in Polynesia and you backed it up by going far again. I’d be happy to talk over your elimination after the game if you’d like to clear anything up, but it shows how hard you are to beat in this game. Totally random, but it’s great to see you have such a strong relationship with your brother.

<p class="MsoNormal">Zac – I think you and I had similar experiences with how people perceived our inclusion in this cast but you proved them wrong by making it far in both your seasons. You stepped up when you needed to and I give you major credit for that.

<p class="MsoNormal">Uli – You have probably the most interesting approach to this game and I seriously doubt many people could pull it off with the same level of success. Or with the same acerbic wit! Yes, you’re a little cocky but your confidence served you well in this game and your willingness to take risks is highly admirable.

<p class="MsoNormal">Andrei – I know you were hurt by my decision but it was incredibly hard for me too. I actually cried when you were voted out because you felt more like a friend than an ally. Nothing in this game was harder for me than choosing between you and Gerda. If you want to, I hope we can talk after the game because I think there are things we both need to explain to one another.
