'''Hey Christine. '''

 

'''About your ROP, I said it was hard to write, and I meant it. I always had a feeling that you disliked me and I could never win in your eyes no matter what I did, and it had always been on my mind so that’s what I focused on. And since it was rushed and unedited, I wrote a paragraph on my early impression of you as a passive player, and only a sentence on when it struck me exactly how good you were. I believe you were the most level-headed of us all, and although I honestly never felt it myself particularly, had a good social game because everyone else agrees and seven of them can’t all be wrong. Eerily similar to what you said to Hunter, I wanted to work with you but you didn’t seem interested. I thought it could be I considered you the easy target on Macal 3 and you heard so through Forrest, but you told me yourself that if I were to close the door on us working together, then it’d be by assuming the door was closed because we first met as enemies on the battlefield. Luis’ speech is my first confirmation that you disliked me long before that moment though, so although you owe me nothing, if you don’t mind elucidating your problem with me so I can make amends or at least learn from it, I’d appreciate it because I have mostly respect for you. And I yet another roast matters not at all to me right now; I just wish I knew sooner, and want to understand and improve. '''

'''Next, I don’t think the game revolves around me. Right now my best guess as to where that impression came from is that my favorite topic for discussion is me, and it’s an urge I sometimes fail to suppress. I never meant for it to poison the way I made moves or talked about my moves. '''

 

'''1. What do you think is the most important part of a person’s gameplay and do you think you did it better than everyone (NOT JUST HUNTER)? '''

 

'''I think the most important part of a person’s gameplay is awareness. It’s a skill without a ceiling; it can always be practiced and made better, and the information it earns you is more powerful than any idol or single vote. I don’t think I was more aware than everyone. '''

 

'''2. If you could do anything differently would you and why/why not? '''

If you want something more specific, the fight with Forrest was really the beginning of the end for my game as I felt it (Just an expression- I don’t think my chances of winning ended that day or ever). Sorry this is so brief; I hope you’ll find all the answers you need in Forrest’s and will tell me if you don’t. '''

He was capable and intelligent and well spoken and was a perfect Survivor player in theory, and he got everything he wanted done to reach the end, only for the focus at FTC to be on his perceived self-absorption and cockiness instead of his resume on paper.

Outside of Matt, I feel like we all had a collective understanding the first 24 hours after the swap that we were all social people that could like and respect the hell out of one another and conquer the fucking world together, even though on paper we were a real grab bag of demographics and backgrounds. I think it’s a huge shame we couldn’t be stronger in the challenges. '''

So, I hope your exam season went well and you’re enjoying your summer. '''
