So, I looked back at my journal to see how my game went different from how I expected it too. Lol it's almost comical how horrible I was in this game.... I totally predicted that Bridget would play me and I may have been right even though I was too stupid and actually started to like her. I predicted that Tom would think I'm a complete jackass, (looks like I was right on) I predicted that a powerhouse alliance would never work because people, (read, me and taylor) would get too paranoid and it would fall apart. Yup, that happened I predicted that Jia or Andi would win this season and make a complete mockery of All-Stars, still looking good. I said I wouldn't listen to Taylor at all cause I felt he was full of shit. Woops. Good move, idiot! (refering to myself) I said Payne had no chance at making final 20, (excellent call on my part ) I said the women would dominate. Not quite, but it's still looking like a chick could win. I said Kenyon could surprise and make it to the end again, that one I'm right on! I predicted that Kyle would go deep into the game because Cody and Sammi would get voted out early, (ehhh, not quite) I predicted I would make the final 4 and get screwed by Bridget. Ummm, juuuuuuuuuust a bit off. I could go on and on, but nobody cares I bet. I probably shouldn't ever refer to my journal entries, but who cares? I've been gone a month now.

I enjoyed reading all those things too! Just wait till you see the pre-game prediction I made about you in my journal, Andrew. It still makes me smile!

Lol, one more prediction I was a little bit off.
Tom, in my journal, I predicted you were the only person that I KNEW for sure would make the merge. I really felt you had everything in your hands to do well, namely, having alumni connections, having nobody in your own season that disliked you in All-Stars, to everyone I talked to liking you. I really felt like you were the guy to beat. Ah well.

I'm still waiting for someone to call me for my Free Agent services. I thought by making it clear that I didn't know anyone 20 times a conversation someone would get the idea to use me for a vote.

True John, but in a way, by mentioning it so much and that you were a free agent, I think it kinda got took the wrong way and that may be part of why some of us didn't trust you. Weird how the game works.
Honestly John, I think what screwed you, (besides the bad tribal picks) was that for some reason, when people talked to you, they just didn't feel comfortable around you. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Just a lot of people having gut feelings. If I'm correct, I do believe Andi and I were the ones who were chiefly responsible for your elimination and from my point of view at least, it just felt to me like you were trying to act like you knew less than you did, (little did I realize you were actually being honest, bad call on my part and my apologizes). That just didn't sit well when it came to trust, esspecially when I had Andi and Matthew spilling their guts out to me about every little thing they heard about, (thus why I stuck with them).
It's tough to explain and I'm not sure there's one neat little answer for your elimination John. The best I got is that for some strange reason, we never trusted you. Sometimes that's just how it works.

I thought for sure I would at least make it to the merge too, Andrew. And honestly after those first three rounds of the game, I was on a great path to get there. I just definitely wasn't anticipating Taylor to lose his mind right after that. Totally caught me by surprise and I just didn't know how to deal with all the attention fixated on me/Payne/Rich. I knew I'd have a target on my back in this game, but I just wasn't ever expecting any kind of attack like that and so early on (and initiated by Taylor of all people).
I will say this, Andrew. Had you voted out Taylor like you said you were going to (instead of Sebastian), you would've had my trust back. I can't speak for Rich or Payne, but had you just discarded your cancerous sidekick I would've stuck with you. But since you didn't, I had to assume you two were still together in a crusade against me, so ultimately I had to get rid of you.

I fought hard to keep alive that round Indeed you did Taylor, but had I not changed my mind last minute, you'd have been gone. Ladies and Gents, this is why you don't make major game decisions at 2 o'clock in the morning..........

I enjoyed reading all your predictions Andrew. Wonder what else you wrote, I have this feeling your journal would be one of the best to read at the end along with Bridget and Payne's. For the record I also felt Payne didn't have much of chance to make it this far after his amazing performance on Hawaii, I don't think I wrote it in my journal though seeing how I was so focussed on other things

Honestly your prediction for me was pretty much mine as well. I just got overconfident and didn't think I would be targetted so early. Screw you Taylor for making me be the pharaoh. :-(
On that note, I knew Cody wouldn't be out early but thought Sammi would be.
