Shane's Rite of Passage:

-MP: I heard you were missing from the beginning of the game and therefore voted out.

-Donna: I never got to chat with you, but I'm sure you're wonderful!

-Pory: You seemed like an extremely strong player, hence your tribe voted you out.

-Tia: You seemed hurt and blindsided by your elimination, sorry we never got to chat together.

-Tania: I genuinely wanted to work with you, but I played too hard and made some mistakes early on. I've accepted that and hope you forgive me for throwing too much information out at the One World twist.

-Damien: You were supposed to be my ride or die, but I heard you throwing my name under the bus and I don't think that was cool. You were nice to chat to and I enjoyed the early game with you. Hope we can chat more after this game dude.

-Kat: You became my ride or die early in the game and I tried to keep you in this game as long as possible. We almost could have been in merge together and once I lost you, I've been alone, genuinely. Thank you for teaching me so much and helping me become a better player my first time around. I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and respecting me throughout the game. Our conversations with one another were beyond funny and intellectual. I think we had a genuine connection and I can't wait to chat with you more after this game!

-Jasmine: Jasmine! You were super adorable and I loved talking with you! I think your relationship with your child was my favorite part and seeing all of the photos was precious. I wish you didn't quit the game because I wanted to work with you further down into the game, but I respect your decision.

-Dwayne: You played me wayyyy too well during Kat's vote off and I lost a lot of trust with you. As soon as that happened, I knew I couldn't put a lot of trust in you moving forward and I decided to make a different move. You were too strong and I was nervous you'd lie to me further down the road and potentially take me out. I respect your game and I hope you respect my move. You took out my number one and I needed to make a move that would put me in a better position. I hope we can talk after the game and rekindle our friendship.

-Laura: I didn't get to talk much with you ever, mainly because we were both offline a lot at times. However, when we did talk, you were super sweet and I'm sorry we couldn't work together in this game.

-Michael: Dude, I don't know what to say. I wanted to work together with you and Anthony moving forward, but other people had different intentions in mind. You played a great game and people appeared to be worried about your relationship with Anthony. You were a wonderful guy and always had a wonderful personality. I'm hoping we can chat more after this game!

-Anthony: After you left, I swore I would be the next one out. I didn't want to see you go and thought we'd be able to make some moves together, but you got taken out too. You were such a great guy to chat with and talk game to since we understood one another. I'm hoping you are down to chat more after this game and we can become better friends. I think you could have won this game had you made it to the FTC, but I still wanted to work with you until the end. I was genuine about that.

-Nora: Oh Nora...I never knew what was truth and what was fake information coming out of your mouth. I loved chatting with you and you were super sweet to me, but I don't know what your true intentions were. I felt like our relationship was on the fence the entire game and once I knew you were possibly throwing my name out, I knew I had to go with the majority in this vote and ensure it wasn't me going home. I'm sorry it ended this way, but I had to watch out for myself first.

-Lynn: Girl, you were on FIRE this season! I couldn't believe how damn good you were at this game and I respect your game completely! You were a beast and I loved chatting with you. I tried to take a shot at you pre-merge with a my Pinta members, but your advantage came in handy and saved you. I can't believe I got to play with such a strong player and everyone knew if you had made it to the end, you would have won the entire game. Congrats on making it to the Final 5 and playing one hell of a game!
