I apologize for not being able to partake in the video rites of passage, they filmed it from 5-6:30am my time and I had to be up to go to the airport.

Jesper: I was really upset to see you go out the way you. I’m glad that health wise you’re doing better now but I’m also sad to see that you’re leaving the community :(

Jeremy: Unfortunately we never got the opportunity to meet.

Dallas: We never got to meet either but I could tell that you came to play this game hard. You were not willing to go down without a fight and I really have a lot of respect for that. You definitely got people talking about the possibility of a winners alliance after your post.

Taylor: Unfortunately, someone had to be voted out of Qahtan and because you didn’t talk until you found out you were getting voted out, it ended up being you. As a self proclaimed legend, I was disappointed that you weren’t super active but it was nice talking to you for the short time that we had.

Amber: Sadly we never really talked but I’ve only heard good things about you and hopefully we can meet at the end of this because you seem really nice!

Blaine: Another person I never got the chance to meet but I heard you were a very strong player.

Tom: Tom you scared me so much. You were so good at challenges and I was extremely threatened by you. For the few days that we were together on Shehr, I really enjoyed talking to you and getting to know you a bit. Sadly we didn’t have a lot of time together but I was glad that you left when you did because had you made it anywhere closer to the merge you probably could have gone on an immunity streak.

Lukas: LUKAS! I was looking forward to playing with you! I was sad to see you go but also a bit relieved because I know how big of a threat you are in these games when you’re really committed to the game.

Skandi: Skandi! We never really spoke about the game but I think we had a lot of nice conversations just about life and I really enjoyed your company. I hated to see that your head wasn’t fully in the game but I’m glad that we had the opportunity to meet each other.

Jamie: You are a troublemaker, and I mean that in the best way possible. I was petrified coming into this game knowing that you’d most likely play because you are a force to be reckoned with. You’re a very powerful player and I really enjoyed the short amount of time that I did get to play with you.

Joan: Joan, Joan, Joan. You were definitely a snake in this game. As much as I wanted to work with you, you had way too many connections in this game and had way too many cross tribal deals and that made me uncomfortable. I enjoyed getting to talk to you more because we don’t talk very often but it was nice to talk about strategy and other things. The way you went out sucked, a lot, but you handled it very well and went out gracefully. You kept me on my toes the whole time you were in the game and you also kept me awake because I used to stay up till 3am just to check in with you :P

Charley: I have so much respect for you. You survived so many tribal councils in a row without immunity. If I was in your position I probably would have had a mental breakdown. You made it so far and did amazing, so mad props to you for that. I think you had an amazing social game that allowed you to do that. I genuinely felt that you had what it took to win this game and had the twist with the second tribe swap not happened you might have won. I’m also really upset that we didn’t make merge together because I wanted to make the merge tribe color sand.

Cali: I’m really glad that we ended up on the same tribe in the beginning of the game because we were able to become friends. Surprisingly, our paths never crossed before this game so I was excited to finally have the opportunity to meet you. Although we were aligned, our alliance was never really put to the test early on in the game and sadly when Qahtan went to tribal after the swap, we had to vote you out. That was honestly one of the saddest vote offs because I felt like you deserved to be in the game and I felt like you’d be a loyal ally but you took it so well and were so understanding and I really respect that. I wish you could have stayed but I hope that we continue being friends after the game because you were so nice and easy to talk to.

Tyler P.: Ty! (not Tyler P.!!!!) I miss you! Even though we never actually ended up working together, it was a lot of fun talking to you. I think you’re just an awesome guy. You’re super nice and funny and I always enjoyed our conversations and skype calls. You went a lot earlier than I would have liked to see you go but obviously I was glad it was you and not me. I knew that you came to play and had you stayed any longer you would have been hard to beat. I hope that you’re enjoying school and that you’re not getting too drunk all the time. I also hope that you have revisited the manga company you were planning on starting in 2008.

Tyler R.: We’ve been friends for a year now ever since I fell in love with you on a Kenya Skype call but I honestly think that this game made us closer. Even though our alliance didn’t end up making it as far as I would have liked it to, I think our friendship became stronger which I value far more than a placement in the game. You’re super fun to be around and have a positive attitude most of the time and even when you don’t you still manage to crack jokes and lighten the mood. I’m glad that we finally ended up playing together after talking forever about how it would go down. I think we were both surprised that we didn’t immediately go after each other but I think that was a really good thing. I enjoyed all of our calls, especially the one with Laure, and I’m so glad that we discovered our mutual love for Fifth Harmony because I needed someone to obsess over Lauren with.

Amir: Amir! I think we really connected in the game but unfortunately, we ended up connecting right before you left. We definitely have a lot in common especially with our heritage. It was nice to have someone in the community who I could related to like that. A lot of the conversations we had were not game related and I really enjoyed that. It was nice to be able to talk to someone and not always have to feel pressured or think about strategy. I wish we had Skyped earlier than we did because I really enjoyed that call. After hearing how well you played in Korea, I knew you’d be a great player in this season and after seeing you survive tribal after tribal I was honestly scared of you and what you were capable of doing. When I come to Israel I’ll let you know so hopefully we can meet up.

Amelia: Amelia, you are one of the nicest and genuinely kind hearted people I have ever met. Although we didn’t work together for too long in this game I was glad that we got to just talk a lot more than we normally do and I hope we continue to talk when the game is over. It’s very rare to find a friend who shares a mutual love and passion for the Dragonz. I genuinely believe that had you not gone when you did, you’d be the winner of this season. You had such a strong yet under the radar social and strategic game. You never did anything to piss anyone off and you would have been able to make your way to the final tribal council through your social connections with everyone. I have an insane amount of respect for you as a player, as a friend and just as a person. I’m also sorry that we didn’t get to start our band.

Jessy: Jessy. I fucking love you. I had so much fun with you in this game. I’m glad we found the idol together because I wouldn’t have wanted to share that with anyone else. All the idol craziness on Qahtan wouldn’t have been nearly as exciting without you by my side. Although stuff kinda got a bit messy before you left, I wouldn’t have had it any other way because I had fun with you in this game and I think that it’s important to have a friend in the game who you can have fun with. I think a lot of people get caught up in all the craziness of the game and forget to have a good time but I was always able to count on you for a good conversation. We didn’t always talk about the game and when we did we didn’t always agree but I loved having you around to talk about trashy TV shows and our horrible sleep schedules. Also one last thing… GET A FUCKING MIC <3

Mihai: When we were placed on Shehr together, we immediately bonded and formed a friendship and an alliance. Although the alliance we formed didn’t last very long, our friendship did. At the end of the day, regardless of what happened in the game, I’ve gained a really good friend and I’m so happy that I got the chance to get to know you in this game. You impressed me a lot in this game. Coming from the Bariq tribe, you ended up making it very far. When we first met I didn’t think that you were very strategic but as I got to know you better and I saw what you were trying to do I realized just how smart and threatening you were. I have no doubt in my mind that had you made it to the final 3, you would have won.

Molly: Molly Christ. I’d like to start off by saying that your story had me literally laughing out loud. Anyways, before the game started you were the one person who I knew the best and who knew me the best going into the game and I think that was more of a bad thing than a good thing. I think we both know each other’s playing styles and while the idea of us being aligned was awesome, I feel like realistically it was never going to happen. I can’t speak for you, but I know that I was threatened by you going into this game. I have a lot of respect for you as a player and playing with you scares me. Obviously we’re still gonna be friends after all of this is said and done especially since we're gotta host PR2 together! You were definitely comic relief in this game when things got tense, like during the endurance challenge or when you offered me your beautiful purple spoon in exchange for a better placement. Love you bench.
