Stranded in Nepal

Let me know waht you learned about yourself, the game itself, if you would play again, what you would do different, regrets, proud moments, everything!

*sigh*...

One vote. I was one stinkin' vote away from winning this game, and I could've won that challenge. But, there are things that have to take precedent, so I don't regret my decision last night, no matter how bad I wanted to win this game.

I've had a blast playing this game. With a few exceptions, the people I played with were all wonderful and made this experience ten times better. The hosts were great, the challenges were fun, the idol clues were maddening and difficult, and it felt great to find myself among like-minded people that I could bond with so easily.

I definitely learned that I can't beat around the bush so much, that I need to come out of my shell more. While it put a bigger target on my back and ultimately lead to my demise, it felt good to finally express myself instead of hiding behind all these niceties and phony good, non-threatening thoughts or actions, and it let me leave it all out on the table, and I feel like I played the best that I could and left it all on the table at the end of the day.

I would absolutely play again, especially because I wouldn't be around people like Tina who weren't in it for themselves. I had a great time, made some good friends, and definitely feel like I could win this game if I were to be given a second chance.

I'd say winning 4 immunity challenges was probably my finest moment, especially since I would've gone home for the last 3 times that I did win. I'm also happy that I was loyal to my alliance to the end, even if it may have dampened any remaining chances I had to get to the end. I do wish that I hadn't been stuck with Tina for so long, and I really wish that she wasn't carried to the end, but those things were mostly out of my control, and I can't blame Kimmi and Jeff for dragging for to the end since it's obvious she won't get any votes.

Despite everything I've said about Kimmi being the biggest threat and definite winner, I'm starting to think Jeff deserves this. Sure, he didn't have as big an impact in his social game, but he balled out from the merge onward, and he would be just as worthy of winning as Kimmi would be, maybe even more than her. I wish them both the best of luck.

In conclusion, thank you to the hosts for allowing me to play, thanks to my tribemates and adversaries for making this season great, and hopefully I'll get one more chance to play this wonderful game.
