Rites of Passage. Here goes nothing.

Aaron and Lukas - I'll address you both at the same time since you both went out at the same time. I wish we could have actually played together and gotten to know each other, but hopefully we can in the future!

Jace - I don't want to say we were at odds because that would require us having had communication, but the only reason I voted for you was simply because you were targeting me. Nothing personal against you, and maybe we can play again together in the future and actually have a conversation!

Miguel - Again, didn't get to talk or work with you, but I look forward to that changing in a future season!

Liam - You didn't deserve to go, and I'm sorry it had to be you. Diego was kidnapped during that tribal, so it was really just god awful luck that you had to go home. That tribal is definitely the second biggest regret I have about this season. I am really sorry, and I hope to get to know you! I enjoyed our few conversations together, and I like the cut of your jib.

Diego - I really enjoyed our conversations too, you're a smart kid and you're gonna go places (maybe that sounds cliché, but there's no better way of putting it). It sucks that we couldn't work together and you were voted out so early, but we just weren't in the same alliance.

Boo!! I'm glad I got to play with you even if it was for such a short amount of time! you're sweet and you're charismatic, and it's obvious why were put on the beauty tribe!! and no matter what other people wanna say, you were never off-key in your song for that one horrible challenge, so please keep slaying us with your talent!!

Kaeden - You gave new torrin 200 points worth of laughter, so I thank you for that! Your time in all-stars may have been short, but at least it brought a smile to our faces!

Bjorn!! My number one!! I wish you hadn't been voted out, but I also wish you hadn't lied about having an idol. You're a smart guy who happened to make a big mistake. I hope we can play together again in the future to make up for your early departure!!

Tom!! Another one who went before his time!! I'm sure you've heard this a lot but I'll say it anyway: you shouldn't have mentioned anything about Alex IN PUBLIC CHAT. If you wanna tell me something like that take it to my PM's, and we can have a real conversation!! I would have liked to work with you, so I was a little bummed to see you go!

Will - Again, we never talked or worked on any level, so that sucks. Here's to playing together again in the future to remedy that!

Wes - "The One That Got Away". When you showed me the screenshots of Tyler's PM's to you, I really had no idea he was being serious. We could have worked so, so well together if you hadn't voted early, and if I had believed Tyler was truly flipping on Perry. Well, at least this season turned out not to be another "Perry/Alex season" like you were concerned it would be. This is another big regret I have about this game.

Luke!! I MISS OUR CONVERSATIONS! I enjoyed getting to know you, I think you've got a great personality! Your honesty was a breath of fresh air in this game. I hope you've been better since you left the game. Take care buddy, and keep on keepin' on!

ZANE!! You've got a great personality, and I look forward to getting to know you better! I'm still triggered by the vote that sent you to Ponderosa, but like I said, it's water under the bridge, and I can see why it was emotional because of what you shared with Perry and me (I don't want to say it because I don't know if you've shared with others yet). And with that said...

Perry - I miss shooting the shit with you about anything under the sun!! I'm glad I made a friend in you, and I can't wait to talk again when all this is over! I'm sorry about the vote that saw you go home, but I knew Joe and Dom weren't with you, and I didn't know how to make that clear to you when you were so convinced that you had the numbers on your side.

Sam - We just couldn't seem to get it together for whatever reason! You're a funny kid, I'm sure you have a nice London bridge that maybe Nuno can cross someday, but I wish we could have been on the same page on our votes, because let's be honest, we were kind of both messy together since we were on the bottom for most of this game.

Alex - Let me just state for the record before people wanna get it twisted: I didn't vote you out for some ME revenge BS, I voted you out because Szymon and Dom were not going to budge on saving you. Rather than putting the crosshairs on myself whilst campaigning to keep you, I had to vote with the majority of the tribe to save my game from plummeting further than it had by that point. I'm not going to say sorry because you'll probably just tell me to shove it up my ass, which is understandable. I just needed to explain myself because I felt *really* uncomfortable writing your name down. Yes, you're a challenge beast, and yes, you're very strategic, but I wasn't ready to vote you out at that point, plain and simple.

Szymon - Szymon!! You're a kind and sweet person, and you have a very calming presence! I'm really glad I met you! I wish we could have worked together more, it just sucks that we disagreed on a few votes towards the end.

Dom - Dom!! To put it simply, you're inspiring. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we all fell a little in love when you blindsided Joe. That was ALL you, I was just lucky to have a goddess to follow at that point. I love that you say what's on your mind, and that you cut through bullshit, like when you called Perry out in tribe chat for telling the rest of us about your idol. You owned it, and you weren't gonna let it be this awkward thing that we all know but don't discuss! I could keep going on, but the point is you have so much going for you, not just in-game, but in life. You're an incredible person than I stan for really, really hard ( and I totally did in a confessional oops). From a fan standpoint, I didn't want to vote you out. You deserve the win more than anyone else here, and I was rooting for you. From a competition standpoint, I'd have been the dumbest fool if I hadn't written your name down. The fan in me is completely torn. The competitor in me knows it was the best thing to do for that tribal. This is by far, the biggest regret I have about this season. Anyway, I would still like to be friends after this, and I'm excited for the journey of motherhood that you're about to embark on!

And I saved the longest for last, oops...

Joe - Oh boy. I'm sensing a lot of weird energy between us (and not the good kind), so let me start from the top to catch you up on where my mindset is. Day 1 of merge, and everybody is talking to everybody else because that's what happens at merge. I added you since we weren't friends before. I saw you participating in tribe chat, but still no "Joe has accepted your friend request" notification. That made me scratch my head, I thought "maybe he generally doesn't add people he doesn't know or something" - so that was my first impression. Then Perry and I were talking about numbers, and he said we could possibly work with you and Dom, except that you were apparently concerned about my trustworthiness, which honestly grinds me since we hadn't had a conversation at that point. When you did finally add me, we talked very briefly, and I could tell you weren't having it, so that really turned me off from working with you from that point on. I took this personally because you hadn't talked to me but you were already making a judgment call, and when we did try to talk, I got the strong feeling I was annoying you (please correct me if I am wrong Joseph, if that is your full name, maybe it's just Joe, whatever. I bet I would know this if we had more conversations, right?). So then after Alex left, you *DID* reach out to me to talk, which I do give you credit for because I sure as hell thought that ship was sailing way the fuck out of port to China already. But you know what? Even before you reached out to me to talk and in spite of that earlier weirdness, you seemed cool from what I witnessed in tribe chat. I really don't have any qualms with you as a person, and I think I made that clear to you when you reached out to me. I decided to vote you out with Dom and Nuno because we all agreed you were the best choice. You offered full loyalty to both Nuno and me, which sounded tempting, but not feasible since you offered it to two people. I don't know how one can be fully loyal to two people at the same time, that's a tall order. That's my reason for writing your name - you offered too much and it didn't seem realistic. So then you were voted out, and said what you wanted to say. I don't understand, did you expect me to have your back or something? You called me untrustworthy to one of my closest allies without having talked to me at that point, you seemed dismissive during our first conversation, and then, just because we had one conversation because you were paranoid about touchy subjects, you expect me to want to keep you? And you know what, maybe I am rustled, but I can still say with sincerity that I think you seem to have a cool personality, and I'd still like to have the opportunity to get to know you. I hope we can clear the air out of game.

Anyway, I hope that clears things up for anyone with any questions/concerns. Ya'll know where to reach me when this season is finished.

Much love to everyone,

Sarah
