Well, well, well… I’ve been waiting for this day for a while now. Before I start my rant, I wanna preface it with a little disclaimer. It’s a game. I understand that. I know I may have done or said a few things that brought it to a personal level, and I’m not necessarily apologizing for them, because I meant what I said, but I wish to let you know that I like all three of you as people, and nothing was meant on a personal level. Okay, boring part over! Time for the entertaining part that (hopefully) will make the audience react! (Cue clapping).

Jonathan, let’s start with you. Starting off this game, I was allied to you. The Fil-Am Alliance. You, Jerby, Lawrence, Matthew, Jaime, and I made a 6 man alliance right from the get-go. I know it didn’t mean much obviously, as I voted out Lawrence, you voted out Matthew and Jaime, and so on. I honestly didn’t have a problem with you while I was in the game. But many people did. Especially at Ponderosa, you were a big target for ridicule. And I completely understand where they are coming from. You were Drewby’s little lap dog! You did nothing for yourself this entire game. I’m surprised why Blake was called a floater when you are the master of the sheep technique. Oh wait, scratch that. You didn’t have a technique. You just sat so far up Drewby’s butt than I thought humanly possible. (You should really get that checked out by doctor guys.) I guess my question for you, is, “Did you even have a strategy? Did you do anything for yourself in this game, or was it simply skating to the end like a Phillip Sheppard? Or a Sherry Idunnoherlastname?” That will be all.

Now for the two people that I’m about 48%-48% on voting(Jon’s not out yet in my book).

First I’ll talk to Jerby. I wanna start with the fact that you lied to me. I honestly had you in my final 3 with Noah. At first, I was really hurt when you flipped. You were one of the nicest people in the game. Then, I thought about it some. Then, the game progressed a little; I got to have a bird’s eye view on everything going on. It gave me a change in perspective. I realize why you did what you did. My original thoughts were, “Why would he flip when this path gave him a free shot to the final 3?” Obviously, I was mistaken. Ever since I threw Drew under the bus upon my leaving, I was convinced in my mind that if he made final 3, he would get my vote based solely on the fact that he overcame such a big target on his back to make it. But, I’m saying don’t count Jerby out yet. You played a solid game, and you deserve credit where credit is due. But, with all that said, everybody’s perception was that Drew was the mastermind, and you were his sidekick. Not partner. More of a JT-Stephen duo. My question for you is, “Why do you deserve the theoretical million over your buddy Drew? What places you above him? Also, why did you never turn on Drew? You could have easily turned on him at 7, 6, or even 5, and taken someone else that you could have easily beaten like Sam(sorry :) ). You had the opportunity, why didn’t you take it?”

Drew! You played pretty much a flawless game. You said it best: you saw me as a potential threat, but wanted to get rid of my allies so I would have nowhere to turn. That’s pretty much the truth. You plotted Matthew’s demise. Then Jamie soon followed. I had nowhere else to turn but Richie. And then you took him out. I then fell to your mighty sword and you had no more opposition to the end. I then threw you under the bus, calling everybody a pawn of yours and that they should play their own game. Obviously, it didn’t work. Also, I want to let you know that I wasn’t mad at you at the time. I just wanted everybody to play their own game and not yours. You cleverly kept everybody in check. Heck, even when I was voted out, I couldn’t be mad at you. You’re very charismatic, and used that to your advantage. People loved you. You vote someone out, and they’re still your best friend. I applaud you for that. You were the Tyson that kept Ciera, Hayden, and Caleb loyal. Even when you voted one out, the rest stayed with you. You overcame a huge target, and still made it here. You played a great game. But, there is one unknown for me. Could you have done this without Jerby? His idol plays saved you once, and also I’m wondering if he’s the only reason people stayed loyal. So, that’s my question. “Could you have done it without Jerby, or was he the reason you’re here tonight.”

So guys, all in all, I wanna give all three of you mad props. I walked into this game cocky, and thinking it would be a cakewalk. Yall got me. And it wasn’t even contested really. I dug my own grave. But nonetheless, good game guys. I hope yall’s answers to my questions can help me decide who to vote, because as of now, I don’t know.

PS: And Drew, again, I’m very sorry about what I said. I didn’t realize that would be such a big deal. '''It was all part of the game. You’re a great guy, and I’d love to be friends after this. Actually, that goes for all three of you. Don’t be strangers. :D'''
