AMBERYou were the one that almost got by me. I had wanted to sit next to you because I wasn’t sure what your game was. Unfortunately, when everyone compared their notes at F5 we all realized what a dangerous social threat you were to win this whole thing. Calls with you were so refreshing – you got right to the point and you may be one of the most naturally charming people I’ve ever met. I’m super excited to meet you the next time you’re in Orlando. Science people are the best.

JENNLet me point to one of my first assessments of you, as well as what I said at merge: Jenn, you are undoubtedly the most dangerous player on this cast. You’re lovable, you’re fun to talk to, you’re laid back – you make everyone trust you and want to work with you. You almost had Taylor last night. You were so, so close to getting her to put you in a fire-making contest against Mike. I respect you as a player too much to sit next to you at FTC. Had you been sitting here I have every confidence in the world it would have been XTC’s first unanimous winner vote. You’re on my list of must-meets (and it’s not just so I can say hi to Henry). Love you!

Okay these next few are the Final 3, so I'm going to just go in a random order.

MIKE GOh what a complicated relationship we have. I’m sure we’ll be friends for long after this game. I get why you tried to vote me out, and I see now that you tried to bring me back into your good graces at merge. I never really trusted you in this game, though, and kept you because I felt I had the best chance at beating you (it’s a VERY stacked cast). No matter who wins tonight, I know we’ll be good with each other – after all, we need to explore Paldea next weekend! Sorry about the mean things I said about you in confessionals. I only meant some of them.

TAYLORSeason 12 buddy! If you would have told me two years ago that you and I would make it to the end of an All-Stars season together, I never would have believed you. We were painted as a potential pair early on, so I forgive you for having to vote me in order to maintain our distance. Still, I never gave up and knew we could work together, and we got our opportunity to do so when Amber let you in on the Kyle vote. We’ve been in cahoots since then (at least from my perspective) and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Your game was on POINT and didn’t get clocked by anyone until very recently. You are an under-the-radar goddess and I’m super proud to have played this game with you. If I don’t win tonight, I hope you take the title instead.

MICHAEL KYes, I’m doing one for myself. In the event that I lose, I’m going to need this perspective to keep myself grounded & centered, and to have peace with the game I played to get here. I’m so damn proud of the game I played. I fixed every mistake I’ve made in ORGs up to this point – giving away an idol, getting idoled out, being swap-screwed, being idoled out, and being a nonstrategic plus-one. I knew it would be a gamble keeping my game hidden from the other players, but had they sniffed it out, I fully believe I’d have been cut before the end of Live Night. Win or lose, I’m satisfied with the game I played. No matter what happens tonight, my name was written down 21 times in XTC 14, and yet they never managed to vote me out. That’s a moral victory in my book.
