Well, that pretty much sucked!
Yve has got us all snowed, I absolutely did not think she had the idol... I assumed she would have used it by now. It was a fantastic way to go though, very exciting!
Hey Dawson! How's it going girl!
I really didn't expect to be gone, but I think going out in a flash of glory like that is better than what would have happened to me, either being voted out unceremoniously at 4/5, or being a goat. I think I was dead in the water from pretty early on in the game unfortunately, and even though I tried my best to claw upwards, there was only so much I could do.
I do have certain regrets about the game, I think everyone thought I was just a sheep that wasn't playing for myself... I've browsed Ponderosa and there's not a lot of respect for me there. I understand it because I was definitely quieter than players like Russ, Jo and Dan, but I certainly think I was playing the game and a much higher level than they gave me credit for.
This game was a lot lot lot of fun to play but I am disappointed that I didn't get to play at the same level as I was in the Australian season Cote d'Ivoire. I think being absent for the first four days definitely cost me seeing as I wasn't able to make those early bonds I needed to make. Timezones were also tough because I wasn't able to have quite as much back and forth conversation as was necessary. Ah well, I think if it weren't for that idol I maybe could have gotten a bit further but I'm not too disappointed :)
