BLAST. 5th again. And then when there's an All Stars 3, I'm sure I'll finish 18th like I did in All Stars 1. And back and forth I'll go between 5th and 18th place, tossed amid the waves of ORG futility.
Yeahhh...no thanks. I have an inkling this was my last ever ORG venture. It always goes the same: amazing start, disappointing end. I'm just not meant to go the distance.
But that's quite ok. There are more disappointing things in life, to be sure.
I feel like my game was going amazingly up until the Jordan vote. If I could do anything in this game over, it would surely be that.
JORDAN: I'm sorry! I made a huge mistake. I let Morgan's pettiness control my vote and basically destroy my game. I should've just given her the idol, let Hooker get voted out, and proceed to the final 5 as originally planned. Had I done that, who knows, maybe I still would've gotten 5th. But I'd probably feel better about myself than I do right now...
I just feel sick. Really. I love Jeffrey. Why did I have to play all those games with him? Lead him on, lie to him, lead him on some more, lie again, watching our relationship get more and more strained with each passing round? Like, honestly? What was I thinking? We heroes should've voted him out the round Juice left and been done with it. Or if I was gonna stay ballsy last round, I should've made the vote go toward Jeffrey instead of Jordan (again...SORRY Jordan...I'm an idiot).
So, Jeffrey, I'm sorry. Sorry for the crap that was my post-merge game. I've said it before but I'll keep saying it: I wish you could've been a hero to start the game, because then we would've rawked it together. No doubt in my mind. The whole hero/villain separation was just something I could never overcome in my head.
Hooker, I don't blame you for going against your word. You would've lost against me in a final vote and probably do stand a better chance going up against Jeffrey and Tucker. Still...no way you're getting my vote. Has nothing to do with hurt feelings and everything to do with playing this game, which you've done very little of. I'd be surprised if you even knew my last name.
Tucker, I'm kinda disappointed in you to be honest. Right before the vote you told me you weren't gonna vote for me...and then you did. Not sure what the purpose of leading me on like that was, when you had immunity, but whatever. You made me laugh more than anyone in this game and certainly hope our relationship doesn't end with this game. Next time I hit up the UK, we're hanging out brother. Cheers.
Morgan...oh how I love-slash-despise you! Haha. I mean that in the very best way. I love you because I'll always love you, but I despise you because you wreaked havoc on my strategic game. The round Juice left I was wanting to vote Jeffrey but you were afraid for your BFF Erin so you pushed the vote toward Juice. The round Stephen left I knew knew knew Jeffrey would be playing that idol and said we should shift our focus to Tucker. But again, you pushed for Jeffrey, and was wrong again. And then last round, I said we should be safe and let Hooker die already. But I let you convince me to backstab Jordan for some inexplicable reason. Gah. I love you...but I don't think we're meant to be allies ever again. <3 I'm honestly not sure if I'd vote for you to win if you do make it to the finals somehow. I'd have to think long and hard about that one.
Sandy/Corey, thank you guys for giving me another shot. I hope I was worth it. I had fun writing confessionals and making videos and playing idols randomly / destroying my game.
Ah, 5th place...the good ole glory spot. Oh how I've missed thee! 18th place from AS1 was wreaking havoc on my psyche. I like 5th much better. It's even sweeter the second time around.
It's been amazing. I'll video it up one last time tomorrow for my day-after thoughts. And then I'll watch with great anticipation as the winner of this game is crowned...
Wow. What a game.
