Hey Toby! Sorry this is getting kinda late, there were a lot to yours Ally’s and I should have hers up soon as well but thanks for waiting! Let’s get into this...

1.Rites of Passage:

Vanne - Being the first boot is never easy or fun for that matter so I’m really sorry to see her go so early. Her comments in the contestant group made me smile though.

Amanda - Unfortunately I never got to meet Amanda, I’m sure she was a sweet person though.

Rob - I never got to meet Rob either but from what I heard his elimination was pretty unfortunate. Hopefully he’ll get another chance in the future

Dana - A sweetheart! I honestly adored her and respect the hell out of her for trying to make a big move so early. Unfortunately she didn’t talk to too many people so it didn’t work out in her favor but I feel like she put things into motion a bit which I’m pretty grateful for.

Violet - Oh my gosh girl I felt so bad seeing you go so soon in Japan and then going pre-merge here as well. Sorry things couldn’t work out better.

Tata - Another icon I remember seeing from Tumblr! She always had the challenges on lockdown which was iconic and overall just a really lovely person.

He seemed like a big player and it would’ve been interesting to see what he would’ve done.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Rhys - Oh gosh, I literally loved Rhys so much. I honestly felt the closest to him premerge and when it came between us it was heartbreaking. He was such a gem to get to know and had he survived I think he would’ve had a good shot moving forward.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Ting Ting - Ting Ting was someone who I was super excited to meet but never got the chance to. I’ve seen her around in the community and have heard nothing but positive things so I’m sure she’s a Queen.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Jon - Jon seemed like such a sweetheart! Seeing him go so soon into merge and the way that it went down actually made me sad cause he seemed like a really chill person.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Jared - Jared was such an iconic player I honestly wouldn’t be here without him and it’s honestly insane just to think about. He wasn’t afraid to make big moves and was never afraid to speak his mind.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Toby - You were definitely somebody that came to play and it was honestly really fun to get to play with you whether it was with each other or against each other. You were a serious threat and played really well that I was shook how much you kinda downplayed yourself at times. Wishing you the best of luck heading into the Andalucia finals <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">❤︎

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Aromal - *Inserts a picture of Miranda Cosgrove* Gosh, you couldn’t really catch too much of a break at some points in this game, huh. We always kinda talked about being frightened for the vote and you always had every right to be and I’m sorry about that whew. Overall though things were always pretty exciting with you around!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Ally - Honestly a fucking Queen. I was so nervous to see we were on the same tribe after Mo’orea but I was pretty excited for us to change things around, even if it was just by a little bit. The thing about Ally is that she’s an incredible social player. Her move with the reset idol was by far one of the most iconic moments of the season followed by her constantly calling people out in the tribe chat. She gave everything she had and you can’t help but respect that.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Jake - Jake was someone who was really cool to work with, he was someone who was super easy to talk to and the fact that he got kicked off jury is a shame as it would be for anyone who would’ve been affected by that advantage.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Tate - MY HOS BUDDY! Literally one of my favorite people in this entire season. You never knew what to expect from him and had he made it to the end I feel like he would’ve had such an amazing case cause he played the game EXACTLY how he wanted to play it and being able to do that and make it all the way to final 5 is incredible and extremely admirable. He has an amazing sense of humor and honestly made this game so much more fun.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Torsa - Another robbed Queen. Not gonna lie I was a little intimidated by you at first because I’ve only heard good things about you and how much of an icon you were and getting the chance to play with you I can see why, she’s just overall amazing. She had this game locked down, she had so many social connections, was pretty good at challenges and was super smart and strategic. Literally everyone I talked to always wanted to work with her and for her to even have the vote tie at the very end just speaks volumes to how amazing her game was. Just the thought of even voting for her hurt like hell. On a sidenote I know you don’t hate me and I respect your honesty can’t wait to talk to you more outside of this game <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">❤︎ <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">2. Optimistic

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">3. My favorite elimination cycle would actually have to be the vote you went home. Ally pulling out that reset idol was absolutely iconic, incorporating all those people to work together to save herself and everything. I’ve never really heard of the reset idol before so even knowing if she had it or not was a crazy feeling in itself. The only thing I was annoyed about was Tate voting Aromal as I wanted to put the target on him rather than having you go but other than that it was such a wild experience.
