Just for you....

To Paul13,

You were (as I put in this thread) the closest person to me (IMO) that I've seen play this game. You didn't care what people thought of you, when you win you let people know it, and you do you best to lead by example. You were arguably the strongest competitor consistently through the team and individual challenges and were pointed out by more than one person as a definite threat but you still made it to the very end. Great job man we'll definitely figure out who's running this thing next time and work out the kinks so next time can be ran as flawlessly as possible.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ATTICA! ATTICA!!

Good game gik, told ya you'd win ;-) Thanks to Rocky and PSG for voting for me. And the rest of you know where you belong...

You too, man. You did well... Thanks Rocky and PSG for making Paul not feel completely irrelevant. :tongue2:

To GIK,

Absolutely perfect strategy man. You were the first overall pick, an overall top 5 competitor when it came to challenges (though you definitely turned it on at the end which is a strategy in itself) You had the total package of social, strategy, and challenge ability. You had multiple options to go with but I remember something you told me when you voted out Skeet instead of Paul "Going with my brain not my heart". Making sure you got yourself to at least to the final 3 (where if you lose you're out) where you took the entire thing home. Absolutely stunning job man if we end up against each other next year I'm going to have to bring my A+ game to win.

Actually, no one voted for you. Jordan felt bad and said PSG and I voted for you so you wouldn't cry yourself to sleep tonight.

Here's the PM he sent me...

Dude, I know Paul is a loser and all but I don't want it to look like no one voted for him, even though he IS a big pile of loser crap. I'm gonna give him a few votes. Hahaha, he's such a loser!

:shifty:

good game to both of you. It was a really tough choice as I felt you both deserved to win. Ultimately it came down to that I thought GIK took too much crap throughout the whole final 9 process and deserved to win something even if he was chancing losing friendships (though apparently he didn't, judging by the votes)

Though if I was voting strictly on crap taken, it would have to go to Jorden somehow. Thanks for setting this whole thing up man it was really fun and kept a lot of summer nights from being boring as hell

Penn, they played you till the end... :pointlol: but it wouldn't have mattered. :wink2: LIke I said way back when, I'm glad one of US won. :up:

Griddles is and always will be my friend first and anyone who doubted who I would vote for does not know how much I love my friends.

Good to hear man. I was afraid the hissy fit and anti Gik.campaign were actually real

Good game GIK. You earned it.
I should have went with my gut in the final 5 and turned on you and Paul. I had a feeling you 2 would be in the final 2. I came this close to approaching dender and Rocky about a turn. But at that point I thought I was still in a strng final 2 alliance with Paul. I also tried to talk Paul into voting you out when we were down to 4.
He wouldn't do it. That's when it started to become clear I was the odd man out, despite what Paul was telling me.
In the end I decided to stay loyal to my one true alliance in this game and that's why I gave Paul my vote.
Thanks Jordan for doing this and putting up with everyone. I hope you let Paul be Jeff Probst next year. I'd like to play against you.......or with you:shifty:

When did I ever have a hissy fit or a Anti Griddles campaign? I never once talked bad about griddles to anyone in this game and only talked about it to E. I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ELSE. Please do not make false statments

I did not ply last year :tongue2:

First and foremost GIK, congrats man. Regardless of whether it was keen insight, intuitive wisdom or just pure luck you took it all home man; congrats you deserve it.

For me this was a tough vote and to be honest Paul lost my vote in the final arguments (Sure you ruffled some feathers but you were a strong competitor and I thought the banter between teams and individuals was fun) you tooted your horn loudly but for me you hit some sour notes at the end. It's funny that you chose Russel as your avatar cause like him you did everything right to get to the final 2 and there's no shame in that.
I had a blast playing this game and who'd have thunk it I feel like I've made some some friends playing here and all this on a Dolfan's forum :lol: Thank god that this ate up the off season between survivors. LOL :tongue2: I look forward to season 2 :yes:
Now I must return to my real life passion.........
Finding the drunkest chick in the room :yes:
