PRE-JURY
24. Mikey B.

I only said a couple of words to you, but it always sucks to go first.

23. Danielle

Sorry I helped lead the vote against you Danielle. You really were a good competitor.

22. Ibrehem

Same as Mikey

21. John

Same

20. Blake

Same

19. Rob

Ah Rob! You probably had more effect on the game than any other 19th place ever! You being voted off is why I bonded more with Aras and Ozzy, lost some trust in Parvati, and A LOT in Tom. Had James gone here like he was supposed to, I'm guessing Tom would be in the final 3 with me. Any way you were a great guy and it's too bad you went.

18. Ethan

We had some great talks. We never really got in any official alliance, but I know had you made the merge you would have ended up with me. Great knowing you.

17. Amanda

You were the only Purago I never really bonded with, so it was an easy vote. Sorry about it though, and hope I do bond with you in the future.

16. Parvati

Wow. Probably the flukiest tribal council in History. I still don't know quite what happened. Anyway, I enjoyed our AIM chats and eventual paranoia about Tom. I think it would have been really interesting to see how you factored into the game post-merge. Oh well.

15. Kelly

Same as Mikey B.

14. Courtney

Courtney, you were supposed to go when Parvati did and you probably just ended up swapping places. It was real though, and you seem like a great girl. Peace <3.

13. Eliza

Ah Eliza. You got very paranoid at the end, and you became a threat to Ozzy and I. It really sucks you had to quit though. Hopes everything works out.

12. James

James, I respect you. You became my biggest threat and I had been warned so many times about you, so I eliminated you. No hard feelings I hope.

11. Aras

I really liked you Aras. It's such a shame you had to quit. You would have gotten very far in the game. Hope everything works out.

JURY
10. Charlie

I never really got to know you, but the info. you gave Ozzy about the HII was crucial in the end. I ended up getting a HII from it and found out it had expired, giving us the confidence to keep going on our plan without fear of a HII.

9. Brooke

You went nuts. You seem nice enough, but you really need to be a much better sport. Hope you matured some from this.

8. Christa

Ah Christa! You are so incredible and I really hope some day we FINALLY make a finale together. I know for a fact you'd be here if you hadn't self-voted. Miss you!

7. Tom

What a standup guy and a great player. You managed to weasel yourself 6 places higher than you were supposed to, so props to you man!! Hope we end up to be allies some day.

6. Ryan

Until the very end you never were more than a number to me, which is why we kept you around so long, but you seem like a good guy. Sorry about the whole Erinn misunderstanding. You really should have gotten 5th, just a miscommunication.

5. Erinn

Ah Erinn, you played a great game and were one huge move from probably winning it. Had you gotten me out quickly after the merge, like say at 10th or so, you'd probably had won this game! Great job, just don't be a bitter juror toward any of us please, because we had plenty of reason not to trust you

4. Jaime

You were loyal to the end, it's just Ozzy and I were a little closer than you and Ozzy. Thank you so much for your help to the 3 of us's game.

[Oscar 'Ozzy' Lusth]

Pre-Jury 24. Mikey B. I believe Mikey was one of the inactives; he was probably part of the reason why his tribe lost, so he was an obvious first choice. 23. Danielle She did compete in the first challenge, but I believe she did the worst. 22. Ibrehem Ibrehem logged onto the site more than once, but he never even answered the pre-game questions. He was lucky to survive the first round, but as soon as we had the chance, we chopped his worthless head off. 21. John I have no idea why John was eliminated, but I believe his tribe was still basing their votes on challenge performance. He was one of the ones lagging behind, so they cut him loose. 20. Blake Blake did help us in the challenges, but nobody knew him at all. His social game was non-existent, so eliminating him was common sense. 19. Rob I actually liked good ole' Boston Rob. We had a couple of chats, even though we weren't on the same tribe, and we got along pretty well. Unfortunately, Tom managed to flip things on him and snuffed his torch. I don't know for a fact, but I believe the main reason Tom eliminated him was because of the bond Rob had with Jenna. 18. Ethan I never talked to Ethan, and I really don't know anything about him getting eliminated. 17. Amanda At this point, I think Jenna, Amber, and Parvati basically had control of their tribe. Amanda was probably just an unfortunate player on the outside of the circle. 16. Parvati Out of all the pre-jury members, I would have liked to meet her the most. She seemed very active, was a good competitor, and she has some awesome boobs! I think she was eliminated as a result of a self-vote, but I could be mistaken. 15. Kelly She was the only player eliminated when we were split into new tribes. I actually really liked Kelly; we had some awesome conversations, and I would have liked to work with her long term. Unfortunately, by the time she was eliminated, she had been inactive for almost a week... 14. Courtney To be perfectly honest, I was the one that got the ball rolling to eliminate Courtney. Out of everyone in our GIGANTIC merge, she was one of maybe three people I had never talked to. Apparently, she hadn't talked to most of the players, because getting the votes against her was a piece of cake. 13. Eliza I could talk about my relationship with Eliza, but I have no respect for quitters, so I'm going to keep my mouth shut. 12. James James was another person I had never talked to in the game. Everyone knew he had complete loyalty to Tom, but that's about as much as I knew about him. 11. Aras Refer to my comment about Eliza.

Jury 10. Charlie I don't think Charlie used AIM, and that is a sure fire way to doom yourself. The only contact he had with anyone was through private messages, so creating any sort of bond was very difficult. He did not belong to any major alliance that I know of, so he was an easy boot. 9. Brooke Brooke turned out to be a firecracker! Wow, she had been so sweet throughout the whole game, and when she realized she was on the chopping block...the claws came out! I remember feeling very awkward when we would chat though; she never really said much, so talking to her could be quite difficult. 8. Christa The most unfortunate elimination of the game . If she had not self voted, I'm 99% sure she'd be sitting here in the final three. She was an incredible social player, and she knew exactly where and how to place herself to ensure her safety. 7. Tom The cat with nine lives ! Time and time again, Tom proved how good of a player he is. Him and I got to know each other right before the first tribal mix-up, but as each round went by, I began second guessing his motives. I know how smart of a player he is, and he should be proud of his game. 6. Ryan HaHa, Ryan was awesome! That boy was such a terrible liar, but it made me feel sorry for him more than it made me angry. I think as things were unfolding in the merge, he just couldn't figure out which way was up. He was clinging onto this game for dear life, but I think he depended too much on other people to carry him. 5. Erinn Since before the merge, I was trying to warn people about Erinn's loyalties. For some reason though, people just did not want to hear about it. We only ever spoke a few times through PMs, but pretty much every time she talked to me, she would throw a little lie in for good measure. This girl really rubbed me the wrong way, and I was relieved when we finally snuffed her torch. 4. Jaime Jaime...my sunshine! The hardest vote of the game for me without a doubt. I knew I'd be voting her out, but it was still really tough for me. Out of everyone in the game, I got along with her the best. After the merge, she didn't spend much time online, but whenever we did have the chance to talk, she made me smile.
