Penner's Corner.

To start off with I want to say congrats to the final 3!




Shereah, There's not much I can really say I didn't get a chance to see your full game play so therefor I cannot critique much of what you did, however it seemed at times like you were following in Phillip's shadow but I don't think you were the only one. I think Malcolm did as well as Mikayla. 





LJ - Out of all the people in this game besides Bob, you were the only other person I wanted to make it to the end with. I gave you all my trust even enough to give you the answers to the idol so you would have possession and we could use it for future tribals. But you kind of played Bob and I like a fiddle when we put our necks out on the line to instill all of our trust in you but when given the opportunity to pay us back you took it for granted and never gave us the same respect we gave you. I think other than that you played a great game, for someone who was as Phillip put it the target and would have been out 8th you were able to win challenges and manage your way to the final 3.




Mikayla - Same as Sherea, I never really got the opportunity to see your game play or you were just in other peoples shadows. There's nothing about your game I can say WOW'd me to the point where I think you deserve my vote. 




I know this is going to come off as LJ already has my vote (Which is true) He was the only one even if it was a bit fake to approach me and at least try to vote my way or give me some kind of hope for a longer game. So in the aspect of a social game he accomplished his goal in my eye. Also he was able to remain in the game after it was pretty clear everyone wanted him out. I'm glad you never got the opportunity to do that or my vote would have gone to someone I see as undeserving.

Thanks for your comments, Penner. I would like to point out one thing, though. You approached me early on in the game and offered to work with me and I actually agreed. It was then that I found out you were working with Bob and Chicken and I lost a little trust in you. Anyways, I understand where your head is at just wanted to remind you of that. Best of luck with your decision.

I want to apologise for what I did to you because I really liked you, we had amazing talks apart from the game (I'm actually still watching season 1 of survivor because of you). 

I already addressed this but I think you didn't read it. When I got to the hidden monster (at round 2 I think), I asked Jeremiah to find the idol with me (giving him wrong answers so that he wouldn't find the idol himself; but, giving him specific answers that will help me find out the answers twice as quick). I also shared answers with Allie, making this thrice as quick.

When you got immunity and you had to send someone over the other tribe, I told you we could work together to find the idol but the truth was I already had it (My core alliance: Sherea, Malcolm and Jeremiah already knew this). Allie, also knew this because I gave her the answers for her to get the idol. I told you this, because I was creating bonds with the other tribe members that benefitted my game (Morgan, Bob) and also because I didn't wanted anyone else to stir anything up. I also told you this to earn your trust, to make you believe I was with you.

I lied to you. I'm sorry about that. But I did that because I was true to my first alliance which I respected and would've kept until the end had things gone the way I expected. 

I wasn't expecting you to find the answers of the idol so quickly, but you paired up with Bob (first red flag), when you guys approached me I could've lied about me having the idol (with the possibility of you making counts and finding out yourself) or I could have told you I had the idol, that way I earned 100% trust with you guys and at the time of a merge, my first alliance could know exactly what you guys were thinking of doing and we could take you out with any possibility of you guys playing us, convincing us or blindsiding us. That's why I decided to play along with you. When your "pre-game" with Bob came around it was clear to me that you were not to trust and any possibility of me backstabbing my trustworthy alliance for you two guys went out the wind.

I did all this for my alliance. And I was willing to take the bullet. They knew about this from the beginning and I shared it with them (Malcolm and Jeremiah because Sherea was busy doing whatever she does) to the point where I thought I had also earned their trust completely. 

This is why when you left, I got all the bullets and got all the targets on my back. But it was not because I was selfish or I was playing Malcolm's game. It was because I genuinely wanted to get to the end with Malcolm, Jeremiah and Allie and I had done all this for that alliance despite not being the only no one that knew about it.

I had to play along with you guys to know what you were doing. I even had to tell you I was giving you the idol to find out what power you had gotten on the auction. 

There was nothing for me to payback even if it looked like it. That's why I didn't. I had already picked a side and unfortunately, despite me liking you and Bob a lot, I had to do what I had to do to keep the people I trusted safe. I'm sorry it went that way, looking back at it I should've thought about it a bit more.

I appreciate your respect and I give it back to you. Because I fought to get you out specifically because I knew how good of a player you were and how easily you could've blindsided me if you had gotten the chance.

Thanks.
