Hi Topaz,

I really liked the way you did your jury speech, I've never seen that type before.

I am really sorry first of all that you feel it was one sided, I did enjoy talking to you and getting to know you, especially after Minke was voted out. When times are rough for me, I become very distant, which might explain why I didn't seem like I was interested. From the bottom of my heart, I really was interested in getting to know you. You seem like a great guy!

The big elephant in the room was my "Asset" comment, I probably didn't explain myself properly, as I was rushed to do my jury speech, I had just gotten home from the hospital visiting my brother, after a 10 hour day of school. So by the time I got home I only had I think less then an hour to do my jury speech, and at that point I was really tired and overwhelmed, so not much made sense. I realize it may have costed my game by not explaining things properly. I considered myself to be an asset because I felt as though I didn't try my hardest. When life gets hard, you need to put all your focuses on the game. I really was excited to play, and really enjoyed playing, I'm just bummed that life got in the way.

Now for your questions.

1.  If I was on the jury, I would honestly have a really hard time choosing to vote between Dom and Ricky. They both played really good games, and are amazing people. I would probably end up voting for Ricky, only because he was the first voted out, but worked his ass off at Redemption to make it back into the game. However, it would be a close battle between the two..

2. Favourite ice cream: I loveeeeeeeeee chocolate chip cookie dough! Because apparently I'm sweet. :p hehe. But relating to my gameplay, I would say, the ice cream is bumpy, and so has been my road to the end, with all my personal and school stuff going on.

3. My highlight of my game was honestly meeting new people. I honestly, I'm the type of person who loves meeting new people. I am also glad I met you! As I mentioned above you're a great guy!
