I'm very proud of how I played this game. I came into this game with NO pre-game alliances. I knew no one, but being the social butterfly that I am, I was able to make friends with JT, have him tell me he was the 'Adam' on our tribe, and together we came up with the idea of bringing two people into our alliance and pass the Adam around us; hence Todd and Brett.
JT, Brett, and Todd were the first people I aligned myself with, and they were the people I prioritized and pledged my loyalty to. When it turned out that I knew Boston Rob and Ozzy from other games, I was happy ... but I still wanted to remain loyal to JT and the boys, and that I did. It wasn't exactly my proudest moment in the game, having to play double agent, but I did what I had to benefit myself and the boys.
It just hurts for me to leave in the manner I have to. I did everything I could to save the guys, and I definitely think out of our alliance, I've contributed the most -- and for them to want to vote me off after all that, it really ... sucks, lol. I know this is a game and I shouldn't be taking these things personally but it's hard not to, because these are guys that I really fought hard for. Todd and I were already considering writing down Brett's name or putting everyone on random.org since it'd be the fairest way, but then he told me that JT and Brett are voting me off. I guess I'm more surprised by JT since at the beginning of our alliance, and countless times after, he told me that he'd take me to the end with him, and vice versa. And even after the Majority Rules challenge and when I figured JT would probably win if I went to the Finals with him, I didn't want to take him out ... because he was my ally, lol. And I don't have my Idol because I gave it to Todd to use ... I think I'm the poster child for stupidity in these games.
Also, voting me out is stupid because if the Final Immunity Challenge is Endurance related, I'm the only one that stands a chance at beating Eliza cause those are my specialty. So I hope Eliza wins, lol. Just kidding, I'm still rooting for my guys ... kinda. Todd has my vote if he makes it to the end; since he was the only person who decided the right thing to do was be honest with me.
All in all, it was a good game while it lasted. I made some good friends and had a blast, it just would've been nice to see all my work actually pay off.
Oh man. Biggest epic fail I've had in a game -- gave an Idol to someone to play to make another alliance think they flushed it out when I COULD'VE just kept it for myself, only to get voted out by that same person. LOL every time I have an Idol I always end up giving it to someone else -- I need to be more greedy damnit!
