It's been such an amazing season and that's because of all of you. I'm super happy that I get to share some last thoughts...
Jessaca – Even though our time was short, it was super memorable. Trying to flip the vote to save you was some of the most exciting hours of Survivor I’ve played. I loved our chats and was so sad to see you go. You’re a badass bitch and I hope I can watch you play again.
Ryan – Taking you out was extremely difficult because I thought we could be good friends outside of the game. You’re so smart, funny, and kind. I thought you had tons of longevity in your game, which made you a huge threat.
Chioma – It was so fun getting to know the enigma that is you. All the best in your psychology degree!
Iqra – I loved talking and scheming with you. You definitely helped me when I was feeling sketched out and I didn’t take that for granted. I think you have the potential to do so well in these games, and that scared me.
Kyle – I love you so, so much. You’re one of the kindest most generous people I’ve ever met and I’m so glad that we met. You’re so smart and talented and it was such a shame that you went so early in this game. Every conversation I had with you was real and you made me laugh so many times, even when we were in the darkest of places.
Kristine – Talking to you for hours at end was always so enjoyable. I’ll never forget you and me practicing the blindfolded challenge and just cracking up at every moment. I was so impressed that you wanted to prove yourself and take on this position and I’m proud at how well you did. You’re one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.
Chris – I always appreciated that you were down to talk game with me. You never discounted my game play and were always down to talk through every move down to every detail. I felt like we had the potential to be real allies and I love how you treated me like an equal.
Jason – Meeting you was one of the highlights of my year. Rowen and I had so much fun with you and Dan. I feel like we were missed connections; we had the potential to be great allies, but it just never shook out. Maybe in another life…
Devon – I feel like you’re my complete foil, which made me so nervous in this game. I feel like every time we talked on a call, you could read me like a book. You have such a mind for this game and I can’t wait to watch you play again.
Brandon – The week that I spent with you on our swapped tribe was both the biggest blessing and biggest curse. I had SO, SO much fun with you and I can’t imagine surviving that week with anyone else. You always had me in stiches and getting to know you and Ashley throughout this game was a real privilege. #CoupleGoals I hope that we’re still on for a Phoenix visit because I can’t imagine not being friends with you. You are one of the kindest people I’ve ever met and voting you out was one of the hardest game moves I had to do. I love you so much.
Sam – From Day 1, I knew you were a force to be reckoned with. I think you’re the whole package – brains, beauty, and kindness. The love and patience that you have for your students is what makes you an incredible teacher. I love how upfront you are with everything, you always put it all out there, and I’ve learned a lot from you. I wish that I could have earned your respect and explained my end game more to you before you left. I hope we can get beers one day – I love you so much.
Jessie – My Res Life soul sister. It never ceases to amaze me the instant connection that you have with people, no matter where you live because of this crazy thing called Res Life. You’re such a caring and beautiful person and I felt like we had immediate rapport. When I said I wanted to go to the end with you, I was being real. I had to split the vote to ensure I didn’t go home at F5 and was so upset that you ended up going. If you ever want to talk Res Life, I’m always here for you.
Spencer – I couldn’t believe that you chose me to be your ride or die out of all the amazing people on this season. You’re so cool and I respect you so much and I couldn’t believe how I lucked out. When I made that promise with you on Day 2, I felt like I was never going to break it. Throughout this game, you proved time and time again that you chose me and I knew no matter what other relationships we built in this game, you would always have my back.
I think you’re the most deserving player to win this season and over the last few days, I thought I would never forgive myself for going to the end with you and losing. But after voting you out, it’s going to be a long journey to forgiveness and I am so, so sorry. The last conversation we had was the hardest conversation I had to have in this game. When you told me that you were the Aubry and I was the Michelle, I knew that you really, truly believed that and saw the value in my game that maybe I didn’t.
The conversations we got to have about Survivor and our lives are the things I’ve appreciated the most of the last five weeks. When we would talk about things or share the same idea, I couldn’t believe that I had found someone who just got it. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much and the highlight of my days was always getting to talk to you. I always felt like you heard me, I always felt like this was an equal partnership, and whenever I second guessed myself or my gameplay, you were right there being my biggest cheerleader and a real ally. I love you, for real.
