Here is my honest Rites of Passage, which features everything I think/thought about people on the jury.

Ben: We never met but I was looking forward to meeting you and finding out about All-Stars. I did however hate your All-Stars manga! But you seemed nice and Szymon said he loved you so you can’t be that bad.

Mihai: We played against each other and I really didn’t think you liked me. I remember in Antarctica you made a confessional stating that I was ‘messy’ or something, and I really didn’t want to meet you in the game and was happy you placed early. I just don’t think our personalities clicked and I think that, while you’re a good player, you’re not someone I could’ve worked with this game.

Christine: Never met you but Sora and Claire make you sound really nice.

Brittany: We never met but you did seem like a big threat and coming in, I don’t know why, but you were one of the people that I viewed as really scary and someone that I wouldn’t have liked to play against. You just seemed like a really good player from what I saw of Cyprus and New Zealand and I was scared of that.

Molly: Same with Brittany, you’re a really good player and that scared me. Socially you’re amazing, but at the same time, we were against each other in Gens and you beat me so I was scared of you. Also you’re a better player than me and I thought that you’d be against me, so having someone who’s better at the game against me definitely scared me hugely, so I wasn’t upset to not have to play against you.

Alietta: I wish we could’ve met up and played together, I do think we could’ve worked together well and I think we could’ve formed a good friendship from the game.

Emma: I REALLY wish you survived because Emma, you were one of the few people I kept when I deactivated for a few months and you’re a really nice person and a really loyal player. I was so upset when you left early and I definitely wanted us to work together.

Miguel: Like I said in my first one, I knew you were a huge threat from watching your previous seasons. I saw how lethal you were and how far you made it both times and I was really really wary about playing with you, so I was ultimately happy that you left before the game started to pick up.

Uli: The first vote off that I did. Uli, as people we got on well but never really bonded that deeply. I had nothing against you personally and didn’t feel as estranged from you as I did to Alexa and Ash at the time, but knew that you ultimately were loyal to them and so to me, you had to go. Nothing personal against you though, you were a nice person.

Alex: I heard you called me an ARMADILLO or something! We’ve spoken so my feelings have changed but at the time, I was happy that you left because of the whole Mai rumour. Only later did I find out you were gunning for me really hardcore and so that made me even more happy that you left before I had another rivalry.

Jessy: We never met but you were a GREAT player in Sichuan (even though I predicted you’d get 20th!) and you were close to people that I wasn’t that close to, so I was happy you left. At this TC I would’ve preferred for it to be Ash though.

Matt: I realllllly disliked you, then really liked you, then really disliked you again, and it kept swapping. At times I hated how sometimes I felt a bit patronised by you, and at others I was truly grateful that you were one of the people keeping me in the loop on Hizoku and seemingly looking out for me. Ultimately, I was happy you left because I didn’t think we could’ve worked together: I was going to vote you out and you knew that. However, as a person I do like you, as a game player you annoyed me sometimes and others I was grateful for you. Overall though, I think you’re a huge strategic player and could’ve gone really deep.

Ally: GIRL. We have a rough history and I really think you don’t like me, and I must admit before the season I wasn’t a really big fan of you either. I know you told people to get me out before we’d even spoken which goes to show how strained our relationship was, but I feel like we worked through it at the start only for it to crumble when you were voted off. As a person, I think we could be really good friends if we didn’t have the troubled history that we do, but in the game I knew you had to go because 4 years worth of feelings don’t just vanish in 1 conversation.

Charley: Firstly, sorry for the parchment. For you as a person, I think you’re a genuinely nice person and I wish you success in life and your writing, but Chris told me to be honest so I will be. I don’t think we could ever work together this game due to Generations where we just… didn’t click. I think the only reason we kept trying was due to Eddie but we just don’t strategically match I don’t think. Also I really dislike ‘XD’ which is probably a strange thing to put in here but yeah Chris told me to be honest, so sometimes the ‘XD’s annoy me. That’s only minor though, on the whole I truly think you’re a kind-hearted person and I put you as the previous ORG person I respected most in Rome, and um yeah. Socially I think you play a great game and obviously you have to be good to survive all those pre-merge TCs but like I said, I just don’t think we gel as people in order to work together.

Emile: Emile, I never got a read on your in this game and I have no clue why! Every single person pretty much feels like that though, and I don’t know what it is about your personality that makes it like that. I think we could’ve worked together though, because from what I’ve seen of you, you are a pretty loyal player and so I did have intentions of working DEEP with you, which I expressed to Szymon early on in the game. Although I must admit, when you left at final 10 a part of me was happy, and I did know beforehand that it was going to be you as Sora had told me, which is why I wanted all of me, Claire, you, Jared and Chris to vote Hunter. The part of me that was happy that it was you was the side that was focusing on immunities — we came SO close in the first reward at the merge and I think you going cleared the way for me to be the biggest immunity threat left in the game and I think you going definitely helped me in more ways than it hindered me, although I did contribute nothing to that. But yeah, it was bittersweet with you going.

Sora: SORA. For a lot of this game I reallllly wanted to go to the end with you due to how close we are as friends. You and I made a pact and I turned on that which was a bit of a bitch move because of how close we were. You told me about the idol and put your trust in me and I betrayed that, and as a person you are truly one of the people I love the most on the ORG. However, for the game I felt like you were such a huge threat socially and strategically. I felt like you had loads of people under your control and so by telling Chris a lot of stuff, I was trying to forge other options for myself and although I never voted you, I did certainly aid in your elimination which I’m sorry about. I must admit, when you were voted off I was somewhat happy due to the fact that you had such a tight grasp on the game and because you’d given me a wake up call that I wasn’t ready for yet, although I did realise in my confessionals that I had lost a huge ally and I had to focus much more attention onto Chris and our relationship after you left. Although you may have annoyed me on the vote before you left, you will always be one of my best friends from the ORG and you are one of the few people that I’ll keep in contact with once this is all over. I am sorry that I prevented you from getting the fairytale ending that you wanted on the ORG, but I can promise that you’ll go down in ORG history as one of the best players.

Ash: We don’t like each other, and that’s the truth. I just don’t like you and you don’t like me. Although my social game to you was poor, yours arguably was poor to me too. You did go crazy over nothing in regards to the GIFs and me being ‘bossy’ or ‘rude’ or whatever, and while I can’t affect how your feelings and that doesn’t mean your feelings are invalid, I can’t account for you to try to get entire tribes against me through my social game. I think you acted impulsively throughout the game and very emotionally, and I think while you think I can be childlike (and I agree — I can be petty and bitchy), I think you can be very childlike too. I don’t want to ramble on for this paragraph because it’s very negative, but yeah. You don’t want to talk to me after the season and that’s okay — we don’t need to. I would like to just so we end on a somewhat more positive note instead of the many many ‘fucks’ you put in your speech lol but whatever, if you’re fine with leaving it bad then I am too.

Hunter: Hunter, I like you as a person and I think your game this time round was very misunderstood. For most of the game, in fact almost all of the game, I misunderstood your game. When you were going on about ham I truly didn’t get it and when you wanted to refer to yourself as the Koch I didn’t get it (didn’t realise it was your surname LOL) but as the game progressed and we spoke more I did begin to like you as a person. At the start though, pre-merge, I found that the constant joking was kinda grating and it especially scared me because I thought you had an idol, and so I found it kinda scary that you had an openly social and funny guy with an idol. Obviously you didn’t have an idol and I should’ve told you that you were going but I didn’t. I wish you luck getting onto Survivor, and I think that your gameplay this season was hugely misunderstood and yeah.

Chris: Chris, I absolutely adore you and I never told you anything personal to advance myself in the game, everything I told you was from the heart because you are one of my best friends on the ORG and I’m glad we got to play this game for as long as we could together. I feel like we worked together so effectively for the merge portion of the game, albeit you played a MUCH larger role in keeping us in the majority than I did. I remember I was SO upset when I thought I had to vote you off at Final 9 because I really did want to go to the end with you at that point. It all started to change when you told me some stuff which showed me how much of a jury threat you were, and I started to wake up and realise that you had played the best game this season. You entered with a target as big as mine, and while I blew mine up and enlarged it tenfold, you shrank yours down and you did it so effectively. I think you would’ve 100% won the game had I kept you another round, and I am sorry that I took you out because you did protect me and it was cold-blooded due to how much we bonded. Once the game is over I really want to speak to you in depth about stuff. I’m also deeply sorry for not letting you campaign, it was selfish and it tugging at MY heartstrings without thinking about yours and that was wrong of me. You saved me ass 100s of times and I love you for that and I owe you so much because without you, I wouldn’t have made Day 39 and I wouldn’t have got a chance to pitch my case. And yeah like I said, as SOON as the votes are in we should talk!!!!

Alexa: OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS SUCH A MESS… I LITERALLY COULDN’T EVEN DEAL WITH IT HALF THE TIME LMAO. The times when you flat out told me you did NOT want to talk to me, to the times we both wrote snarky parchments, to the times we wanted to make a dual confessional which we needed to do (is it too late now?). We had a ROLLERCOASTER of emotions, and a lot of that was my fault. I did keep pushing you away and I wish I didn’t because I think we could’ve worked so well together and apart from Shawn Mendes, we get on so well on a personal level. Throughout the game though, I legit DISDAINED you for a good portion of it. I wanted you gone right from Day 2 and never really gave that up apart from for a brief period just before the merge, and I WISH we could’ve stayed together because I truly think we could’ve rocked the merge. I do want to apologise to you after the game for anything personal that I said, it truly doesn’t represent how I feel about you and it was just me being petty, and regardless of whether you vote for me or not, you played an AMAZING game and you’re a really chill person.

Claire: Claire you are legit the sweetest person ever. Sometimes I found it hard to speak to you due to stuff I heard about you through Chris, but when we spoke I got on so well with you and I’ll always remember you showing me that random stick man video thing which I still don’t get?? But yeah that was somewhat iconic. Anyway, in the game we worked together for ages up until the final 6 and final 5 but I was wary of you for a long time before that. You positioned yourself so well at the start to be in the middle of every group and you knew pretty much everything that was happening. I had to learn all the information through Chris though, and that really scared me and made me question you quite a lot because I never knew if you were truly with me or not. Despite that, I love you as a person and I’m glad we got to play together, and you’re a really really sweet person.
