Hey Jamie! It's been awhile and I am glad we get to talk now as there are some things to clear up! So I never once called you an idiot. In fact the only thing I remember saying about you is was in the Minerva chat after you got voted out, was, "Inb4 jamie is brought back for a season on people who jump off the bridge before looking??" Also known as people who make rash moves without thinking it over entirely. You used your Idol on Ethan knowing he was getting votes and it backfired on you. In this conversation Ethan took it entirely wrong. Ethan straight up asked me, "What's that suppose to mean?" and I then replied, "she did't think it through.." followed by him going... "Yeah there was ZERO thought going into that vote. SMH". The whole idea was they could make a season out of people who made quick, risky decisions, that didn't pan out. A more badass version of second chances.

Ethan in the moment was just saved by Tribal Council happeninigs and of course was sitting there attemtping to defend you. I wasn't trying to offend you, I was still in the initial "WHAT A GREAT TC" moment.

If I recall you and I were suppose to be alligned. I liked you and at that point in the game invested 100% into you. I even told you that I had the Idol! You were hands down someone I was hoping was real with me. We both know how transparent you got in our conversations up to that vote, and my choice to use my Idol on Brittany was as easy as that. You were acting too paranoid and nervous (because you were about to make a big move.)

So no, I never insulted you, and if anyone took that as such and changed their words it was their dislike for me that distorts the tale. I liked you, and I think it's hilarious you were made to think otherwise and you should too. :)

Ricky: Why should I vote for you even after you were voted off and your alliance has only survived based on your failures!

Okay! So I want to point out that I was voted out the very first round and it wasn't for anything like  over strategizing, personality, nothing. It was purely because I was totally consumed by something other then this game for that period of time and kind of allowed it to happen as I wasn't able to meet or talk to anyone. With turn of events the game introduced Redemption Island and because that is apart of the game it breathed me life and I without any doubt appreciate the second chance opportunity.

Now the plus side of being voted out first opposed to second, to the last person voted out before the twist ended -- I had to fight my way from the START of the twist, to the end, my road wasn't just ONE or TWO duels, it was the whole thing before the reentry. I had to actually work for my survival in multiple different types of the challenges. It was Creative, Flash, ect. Wasn't just one!

I was also given a task to get a Hidden Immunity Idol; as Topaz was, he didn't come back in with one, I did -- it wasn't something extremely easy.

I'm not from the ORG, I play elsewhere so being apart of this season as a fan, meant i was going in completely blind. A lot of other people had pre existing relationships, and it wasn't just the favorites.

I had to be strategic from redemption and toss Brittany every single clue, to help me build a bridge to a alliance upon entering and when I did I could have been an easy first boot, but I got on a tribe that won and when we didn't, we obviously took out the people who were weaker.

I painted myself the BIGGEST target and after round one and two of the merge never became victim to votes again. I played my Idol correctly, four people went to rocks for me, and four others went against me -- giving me immunity, and Ethan! The two biggest threats. I wasn't even super close with anyone at this point...

Following this I was the one who started to make some big moves as I convinced the girls to turn on Topaz and wedged myself in the middle of Josh / Grace & Dom / Brittany for my end game.

So yes my alliance succeeded because my Idol clues from Redemption, my second chance opportunity to play for the second time in the same game, the rock draw that I had no risk in, cause everyone else played with fate to give Ethan and I immunity... But the truth is, those were my influenced and I did all that while winning the most immunities, finding an Idol, winning duels and staying loyal to my alliance while having a the two other people in the final five as options I could take if I wanted.

It's up to you to vote who you want to win, I want your vote, I came into it hoping for an opportunity to get it. I never called you an idiot, you were misinformed by people who wanted you to be offended, or get offended on your behalf, when they shouldn't have. You know our relationship in the game, I had fun with you, I hope you see that. :)
