Well, now that I'm home from work I can finally say something on this.
I'd like to say that I really enjoyed getting to play, but the truth is that despite making it more than halfway through the game and trying as much as somebody in my position possibly could, I feel like I didn't get to play nearly as much as I could have, should have, or really just wanted to. I get there's a certain view that people who say they were constantly feeling left out or unable to get in are just trying to throw pity parties, but that's not it at all. I say it because that's legitimately what it felt like most of the time. Don't get me wrong, I appreciated getting filled in on some things before they happened, but being filled in beforehand on what other people have decided shortly before it happens is an ENTIRELY different thing from having all of your effort and hard work to show people what you're about "get" that you're a good ally and actually have you in on the decision making progress of an idea or equally weigh in your perspective from the beginning. This isn't a game you can play by yourself, so feeling like you have to play it alone most of the time and that people won't work with you no matter how upfront you are or how much you show that they can, certainly takes away a good chunk of the enjoyment.
I guess I'll just address everyone individually before I wrap this up.
Cody: No hard feelings to you this week. Neither of us exactly WANTED to be on the Block or started that whole shitstorm that went down.
Corey: I get you voting me out, man. Honestly speaking, I wasn't expecting you not to because of the relationship it seemed like you guys sometimes had. I still had to try before work though.
Nat: I'm glad we got to sort of bunch of things out this week and get on the same page after last week. And, you know, sorry on the whole trying to get you out when Zach went thing.
Howard: Yeah, I know you probably meant well and everything man, and no offense, but...maybe that wasn't the best idea?
Porsche: I can't pretend it doesn't hurt and that I'm not somewhat disappointed by you evicting me...but I do kind of get the whole wanting to save an ally/salvage PCK type thing. I just with you didn't think that what was best for your game was punishing an entirely innocent and outside party for something they had nothing to do with.
Erika: Not gonna lie, really feeling like you fucked up. The idea that in your crusade to take down Kelsey, you would evict the one person most willing and able to help by being the very vote you'd need to do it makes no sense at all. Keeping somebody who had been with her instead of the very person who was willing to take the first shot at her and who would have been the best person to have by your side for it is kind of ludicrous. Do I hope she goes down? Sure. But I kind of hope she takes you down first, and that when you get that chance to take a swing at her and find out you're one person short, with yourself thinking "Shit, if only Arlie was still around", that the realization hits you that this is where you threw it away.
Kelsey: There's so much that I COULD say here Kelsey, but mostly there's one thing that needs to be said. I NEVER owed you one single fucking thing from you saving me in that tie. The very moment you nominated me in the round that Ika went, was the moment that all potential of me owing you anything went out the damn window. The very fact that you held me not saving you the next round when you "saved me" from a situation you yourself caused was absolutely sickening and one of the most hypocritical and outright insane things I've EVER heard. And that before, during, and after the HOH comp you went out of your way to talk about how you weren't going to nominate me and I was safe when there was no reason at all to is just disrespectful. And no, you nominating me and causing me to get evicted does NOT mean I owe you my Jury vote if they hand you a ride and let you just cruise to the Final 2.
With that out of the way, I think I've said my bit. I'd like to thank Kat, Estelle, Colby, and almost everybody else who contributed in some way to helping this run for letting this old guy try to go with these young bucks.
Oh, and of course lastly but not least, a big thanks to my After Hours co-host Ayana for her contributions. Until next time.
