I can honestly say that in stark comparison to my previous experience in this series, that Heroes vs Villains has surpassed on so many levels.
Coming into this competition with such strong personalities, coupled with a drive to achieve and a personal goal to better a previous placement was very interesting to see how that would affect people - and it did, I'm a prime example of somebody who wanted to do better. And coming fourth two seasons ago out of twenty-two people and managing to beat that with the exact same number to me is pretty impressive and that's a testament to my gameplay.
This time I've been tested physically beyond measure, emotionally beyond what I had expected and I had to make decisions that I knew would cripple me of an endgame scenario - but these decisions I took were what got me to where I stand today and I regret absolutely nothing at all.
Previously it was a divide between former players against the newbies, this was completely different. A battle between good and evil ethics on how to succeed in a competition where the whole premise is to eliminate your competition and expect them to give you a win is, and always will be a fascinating concept to me. And every person I met in this game, be it during my last game or brand new has been a pleasure.
The friends I made are permanent, the enemies I made are temporary. Yet I hope to cross paths with you and be challenged to a rematch - you've all been incredible, despite your opinion of me in this game I hold zero grudges.
Production, you guys stepped it up. You're both a great team and you delivered. Despite what I said at Final Three, know that it was in the spare of the moment and it doesn't tarnish what you think of me. If there is a third time to return, I would love to come back.
My confessional is not a true reflection of me, everything was said in the context of the competition. But as much as you choose to believe what you read, I'll defend your right to your opinion and I welcome criticism.
I want to thank Jordan for being a stand-up guy, truly one hell of a gentleman. One of the first friendships I made in this game and the most special. Bros til the end.
Chris aka Hooker for showing everybody that you can be a hot target but still outlast some of the most legendary players to grace the series.
Stephen for being a great player and a definition of a Hero. Your status is totally deserved and it was an honor to play with and against you.
Jeffrey, we went from rivals to friends and you deserve to win this game hands down. You're an absolute legend, keep doing what you're doing.
To every Hero and Villain - thank you. I mean it. It wouldn't be the same without you. Well, except maybe Katy.
I will miss this game dearly. Thank you for the opportunity for playing for a second time.
