You came into this game after having a pretty rough and maybe unfair wrap as a winner last season. You showed massive potential and I took a risk on you here and I'm so glad I did. You elevated your game and became hated! As they say, if you're hated then you've reached distinction. I actually applaud your gameplay, I feel like you didn't go far enough. You shoulda just gone full Valhalla and continued to flip back and forth and cause as much shit as you could. Your biggest fault is not owning your personality. We saw you own it a lot more this season and you were much more memorable. I loved you here and you were definitely a compelling character.

Jesus fucking christ, even when you're given the opportunity to be an entertaining player on a silver platter, you STILL find a way to fuck it up. You could've been an entertaining flip flopping villain who was a thorn in everyone's side and you didn't give a shit what they thought, but you didn't own it. You didn't embrace it, you didn't absorb it, even when it became evidently clear that you were supposed to be a villain this season. You had the same bullshit mentality as last season which is exactly what I DIDN'T want you to have.

You occupy a very soft spot in my heart Val as you always come across as a very layered, emotional person in your confessionals. It was clear that you were affected by a lot of talk surrounding your win this season and you really wanted to prove yourself as being more than an allegedly undeserving winner. You succeeded, your time this season was pretty memorable and I think of all the Indonesia people you were positioned the best, it's ironic that your emotions took the best of you and you weren't able to look past what Richard did and had to take him out at the expense of everyone trusting you.

THANKS KELLY AND PROBST AND OTHER!

Cassandra never came to me with that plan which is weird because I totally treated her more than you, Penner.

Also, how did Hayden lose to Sugar?

Wait yeah what the actual fuck. I was like 99.9% sure she trusted you more than me, Heidi

- Tue Oct 25, 2016 3:04:39 am #7398 Val if it's any consolation prize I didn't keep up with your game as much this season because well..... You're Val.

So maybe I didn't get to see the full story, but that's just what I saw.

I was rooting for Richard hard in this game and I'm really glad he got to get a full experience this season. I think he got his hands dirty this time and was actually doing really well... until the Dale incident. I think of everyone it affected his game the most. That said, he recovered from the whole thing really well, but Val snuffed him out and pushed hard for his vote in fear he would have a sympathetic underdog story at the end. So really, without that incident, I think Richard would make it further in the game for sure. That said, I think he proved himself as a good player and definitely helped his reputation from Nepal. I hope he's back into the Stranded fold for good and won't be scared to play again because he's got nothing to be ashamed of.

Ok, so I don't necessarily believe you to be an exciting presence. Hell, whenever I see the name "Richard" on the board I usually let out a yawn most of the time, but you were probably the only one true casualty of Dale's actions. And for that I apologize, because that was partly my fault. You're still a fat piece of shit though.

You were the biggest casualty of the Dale scandal, you were playing a terrific game up until that point and even for a minute there it seemed like you were going to be able to overcome it. It seemed like you really came alive as a player since Penner basically abandoned you after it. But you weren't prepared for just how badly Val got hurt that she was willing to tank her own game just to see you out.

You were playing really well until the whole Dale situation. Your social game improved tenfold from what it was back in Nepal. It felt like you were protected on seemingly all sides but that all came crashing down when the skype chat logs came out and you still almost managed to make it through alive. It was great to see you come back and do so well.

THE defining pre-merge boot of the season. You were so incredible here I can't even. Your boot was one of the most epic in the series history. So lulzy. I was living. I loved every minute watching you and loved your underdog story. You killed it girl.

HAHAHAHA YOU GOT PWNT

You were so much fun! I'm kind of sad that you were the one that got taken out by the double idol play cause that was around the time where you were just the funniest to watch. The PM's between you and Heidi deciding who goes on which tribe was just hilarious and then the irony of ironies when you go home first thing when your tribe goes to tribal.

It is a consolation prize, thank you.

I'm shocked and offended you think that! Although that is how I wanted it to come across.

Adorable and cool as always. It's great to have you back in the Stranded family. I don't think this was your most exciting performance, certainly not as great as Suriname was for you. I feel like you shied away from a lot of the drama that was handed to you and in the past you would have gone toe to toe with the best of them. In a sense, that shows a lot of maturity and knowing yourself to be able to brush off haters... in the other sense I miss that feisty kick ass attitude. Beyond that though you proved yourself to bea s likable as ever and were ultimately fun to watch. I think the shining moment for me was when you stood up to Dan during the tie breaking council where you refused to promise him that you would throw the challenge. That was a great moment.

You were a sweetheart, that's about it.

Sugar-boobs you were as angelic as always this season, you were such a breathe of fresh air when everyone was all about being cut-throat and strategic. You didn't quite get the respect you deserve as a player like you did in Suriname but that moment when you stood up to Dan during the tie-breaker was iconic.

Having watched you play in Suriname, I felt like I knew what to expect from you. I don't think you will ever be the most strategic or the most controlling player but you will always be unapologetically Sugar. It seemed like you weren't having as much fun in this season, especially pre-merge(?) when people were being a bit rude to you. But you made the most of it, and had a great moment when you rejected Dan's deal in the pre-merge tie-breaker, which is something I'm sure not many other people would have done.

- Tue Oct 25, 2016 3:11:12 am #7414 Sugar, I came into this game with such a negative pre-conceived opinion of you and I want to wholeheartedly apologise. You're awesome. Please ignore my first few confessionals before we met :)

that moment when you stood up to Dan during the tie-breaker was iconic.

She was lucky she was aligned with Drew. I almost kept Mookie because of that, even if it was gonna fuck me over because of it
