Congratulations to you both on Final 2! You were both the people I ended up working with the most in the game, especially towards the end. I have no questions because I cannot come up with any. I feel like I have a good understanding of both of your games. Even with that being said, I don't know who I'm going to vote for.



'''EMMA. ''' I am so proud that you are sitting there in the final 2. We didn't have strong communication throughout the game, but when we did it was good. Some of the jury thinks that you followed my game but that could not be farther from the truth. You would do things without telling me and decide things for yourself. We had good communication with each other, told each other small things, but it wasn't until you returned when we started doing our moves together. For example, you never told me about your temptation until after you used it. You voted out Erin before even speaking to me. You wanted Domonique out when you FOUGHT FOR 13 HOURS TO GET BACK INTO THE GAME despite that not being what I wanted. You played YOUR game, not mine. When you did return, we talked our moves out. However, YOU made a lot of the decisions and worked your way to that final 2. Let's see if you're able to pull out that Crystal Cox win once again.



ERIN. What a crazy ride. Let me start by saying I have forgiven you for things in the game and everything that has happened. What I haven't said to anyone until now though is, what was said week 3 still haunts me and I haven't forgotten that. I forgive you and am not mad at you, but that still hurts me to this day. At first, I was open about being upset when people brought it up in the game because I was. I was on the verge of quitting and had a meltdown in my DR. It wasn't until Alex came to me and told me something along the lines of "I don't know what all happened but by now it shouldn't hurt". Once that was said, I didn't speak a word about it again. This isn't being used against you, I just feel like you should know.

Moving onto after that in the game, I don't know how I feel about a lot of us working together. I say this because you would frequently say how close we are now and how much of a brother I was to you now, but I almost feel like that was exaggerated. I felt close to you just because of like how we said, we both realized after the fallout that we didn't want to be the reason why the other went but we didn't talk all that much in the middle part of the game. It just felt like suddenly we were forced to talk to one another when you won HoH and you said to me "Alex, Ali, and Natalie all want you on the block and to evict you but I don't want to do that. If you offered a deal I wouldn't nominate you" - or something like that. Granted, we did speak more after that, but I feel like you purposefully shoved me into a corner and held me to it. All of that being said, I feel like you tried to play with my emotions in times where it didn't need to be played.

I want you to know I think you played a great game and after everything, I'm not in the least bit mad at you. I think you did play dirty, but that's what this game is all about (even if you did push it a little too far).

To close, I'm proud you both made it here and I wish you both luck.
