I've had so much fun playing this game, from the crazy first challenge all the way to me losing the tie breaker. The whole experience as a whole has had me gripped since we started back in June. When you play these games, you learn something new every time about yourself, how you're tested is the reality aspect and the voting is just the entertainment side. I have been pushed to my limits and further, whether its trying to build towers or deal with people who attack others that I hold very deep friendships with, each round has been its own story of loss, companionship, gain and rejection. And I feel very priviliged to have been apart of this experience.
To the new friends I have met, I cherish what we've built and it wouldn't have been the same without you. To the enemies I have made, I look forward to drawing swords with you later on in these games. But there comes a time when the cameras will stop rolling and this game concludes and we end up being twenty-two faces with nothing more than having common ground in a game that we played, and I'd like to extend my well wishes to all of you, rival or friend.
Production has been great since the start, we started out shaky and sometimes I did question your methods, but I can tell why this series has stood the test of time. Its memorable characters, interesting challenges and fierce loyalty to what you work for is a testament to those who want to host their own series. They can learn a lot from this game, as I'm sure they will.
I said things in this confessional, some bad stuff. I'm not proud of it, but I'll stand by my claims because when I talked to the players I envisioned myself standing in Montenegro with you by the shoreline or at camp or even at the challenge areas. I dont want these confessionals to be a true reflection of my character, although I promise there is a shred of humanity in me somewhere.
And a big thank you goes to three brilliant people. Lorii, Joey and Evan. We set out our goal, we shook things up good and I'm very grateful to know you and call you all my friends. I'm going to visit the other side of the pond one day and we'll toast to good times we had. If a person cannot benefit from this experience then its an experience wasted. Thank you again.
I'm going to miss this game.
