Regan - You sealed your fate when you straight ignored me for the whole time we were grouped together. You seemed like you weren't trying very hard but you were the first person to consider voting me off, so it was a really gratifying tribal.

Brian - It was really nice working with you, you're an extremely bright kid and you're a much better player than you give yourself credit for. Nice grasp of strategy, really likable and unassuming, and really good at playing under the radar. You obviously deserved to make the merge. You got shafted by the tribe swap, and shouldn't have targeted an ally like Brittany, but you're easily one of the best players of the season and it would be an outrage if you didn't get casted for Cyprus. Seriously, I don't think people understand how good your social game is.

Cheryl - I originally voted you out because it was very clear that everyone on the tribe deserved to be here more than you. I felt bad voting you out because I had a hunch that you had a few screws loose, and you definitely proved me right. Just so everyone's aware, Cheryl messaged me after the vote threatening to give her idol clue to Ci'ere. It was really sad seeing someone that old with kids act like that, but I guess you validated the vote with your behavior. I hope you find the help that you need.

Pav - After your vote-out,  you told me you expected to see me soon. As mild as that was, it really stung. I always respected your opinion over anyone's, and that's because you're probably the best decision maker in the game. So calm and calculated, but extremely likable and just flat out cool.

I felt so alone after you left, because I knew from that point on that I wouldn't ever have somebody that really understood me and could be objective about strategy. Believe it or not, my biggest motivator after the merge was to justify taking the game away from you.

You were by far the most competent player in the game, and you deserved to make the merge, just like the fans deserved to see how great you could be. Voting for you just felt so unjust. I took you out before you even got to show how fantastic of a player you are, and (while I can't say I regret the move) I'm sorry for that selfishness. I really do hope that you can forgive me once this is done, because I considered you a good friend, and I really miss you.

Casper - What a likable guy, you were so relaxed and funny and easygoing that you just blended into the crowd and stayed close with EVERYBODY. I thought you and I had a really good personal relationship, but you made connections with a ton of people in s similar way, and I thought that was really impressive. You obviously got sent home on a fluke, but I would have picked you to win it all if you asked me before that vote. You need to be on Cyprus. I think you're a better player thank you know and I hope you stick with ORGs.

Ci'ere - What can I say? My nemesis. You know I always thought of us as two sides of the same coin. We were both super aggressive and known for being flimsy with the truth. I think I was a little intimidated by that. You were one of the few people at Kawau that played the game with the same urgency, and we both racked up a ton of allies. You were actually more social than me.

I always knew we'd clash, but I thought you'd make it further. You were just so intuitive and smart. I think the thing that did you in was Brian's vote off. Alex and Casper had both found a new alliance and you probably should have laid low for after the merge, because the numbers were just never going to be there to vote out Casper, but you really just got screwed by the last tribe swap.

Still, you were the most exciting player of the season, and I'm really happy that you got to wreak havoc like you wanted.

Charlie - I've been missing you the last few days. You were always the best person to talk shit with, and I've had so much material recently. You were such a firecracker, and I really respected how you stuck by your guns and didn't let me push you into things. I totally understood when you started targeting me, I would have done the same.

I do want to say that it kind of hurt how you spoke to me and about me the last few days, like I was some evil mastermind. I really liked our friendship and I didn't realize that voting out Ci'ere was going to change how you viewed me. It really felt like you didn't want to be my friend after that, and the moment after your vote-out where you and Josh were both typing "FUCK BERK" was the most alone I've felt in this game. You two were my best friends left, so that really stung.

Still, I feel really fondly of all of my interactions with you, you're a really smart guy and I always looked for your approval when I had some crazy plan. I know I came off as condescending or domineering sometimes and I'm sorry for that, your opinion was actually really important to me. Thanks for working with me as long as you did.

Josh - Funnest guy in the game. We both know I was hoping for you to be my 🐐 originally, but once the merge hit I knew I'd underestimated you by miiiiiles. You were way smarter than I gave you credit for, and I think you became a way bigger threat than you realize. You were friends with all of the jury when you got voted off, and you were popular as shit. You got kind of screwed by the reset idol, but I'm so glad that you and I got to make it as far as we did together. I loved our friendship and you made the game fun for a while.

Alex - Probably the one person that would always see through my shit, I always loved how much effort you put into the game. I love the competition, and you really brought that out in me and in everyone else. On top of that, you're a total character. I know that you got more hate than anyone, but I got my fair share of it so I really don't like that you got so much harassment.

I obviously had my frustrations with you sometimes, but I think we understood each other and that made for a lot of interesting exchanges. I hope you stick around the Survivor ORG scene, I don't know what's going on in the VL but I'm sure they adore you.

<span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.5px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Brittany - I'm so glad you were a part of this season. I was really worried about the girls being well represented, and it's awesome that you became the powerhouse that you were. You totally unified the girls and decimated the guys, and I think you're the reason that so many women are represented in the final 4. Good on you, Britt. I really appreciate how classy you were after I voted for you both times. I know I really screwed you over and it meant a lot that you understood. Congratulations on being such a huge part of this season.

<span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.5px;white-space:pre-wrap;">Kostas - The goat herder himself, you surprised the shit out of me. On day 2 you were some kooky Greek guy that showed up way too late, but you turned out to be an absolute beast. The way that you got Alex, Casper, Dani and god knows who else to feel so trusting of you was fucking spectacular. You found two god damn idols without clues, that's nuts.

<span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:'HelveticaNeue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.5px;white-space:pre-wrap;">We were both playing each other in a lot of ways, I just lucked out and got the jump on you first. You turned out to be the strongest player of the season, good on you for everything you accomplished. And shame on me for not seeing how great of a player you were from the start. <ac_metadata title="Berk&#039;s Rites of Passage"> </ac_metadata>
