Well, you certainly gave it your all! And redeemed yourself from last games disaster.

Do you have any regrets? Memories? What would you do differently if you were asked back? would you come back? Where do you think you went wrong? Who do you look forward to seeing again? Who are you rooting for/against?

I'll answer this now that I've had some time.

What I tried to do differently this season was not make an alliance with everyone like I usually seem to do. Pretty sure I made a final 3 deal with half of Indonesia. Where I went wrong was kinda not caring enough about each relationship, and just hoping that the couple alliances I did have were strong enough to deflect attention from me. Also, I became waaaay too trusting of those alliances, telling everything to Danni for example. I'm really bad at that, once I trust someone, I open up too easily, like a dirty slut. Outside of Stranded too.

I didn't really have a goal in mind when I was asked to play this season. Obviously, my main goal every time is to win. But I definitely thought I would be on Refuge with people I didn't know and I'd end up being voted out. If it wasn't for Joaq and Drew, that probably would have happened. My main target was to do better than Allies, both in placement and to not have Dale 2.0 be the final Dale. So I guess I accomplished those targets.

My game play this season could have been a lot better. I was liked this time, but I felt like my game was just so obvious. This season came at a weird time in my life, and I don't know what it is, but I realized that I really didn't give enough of a fuck to fight for the win. Like when I saw my name was being thrown around on the Sunday, I was more annoyed that I'd have to actually talk to everyone and figure it out and not get booted, than the fact that my name was being thrown around. In Indo or Allies, I would have been trying my ass off to make sure I was good with everyone, but this time I was just too lazy for all of that. I think I spent a total of 10 minutes looking for the merge idol even though I knew if I didn't find it I was gonna be gone. Idols just aren't my thing.

I don't know if I would come back. I mentioned to a couple people during the season that this was my final season and I meant that. If I was to play again, it would have to be when my schedule is different, and when I have a real fire to come back. Also, losing three times really kinda makes it not as fun now. Even if I won my fourth season, it would be "yeah he won, but on his fourth try...". Also, as Lucy said, winning an ORG really doesn't mean anything after all. So yeah, I don't wanna say I for sure will never play again, but right now it doesn't seem likely. Maybe I got too lucky from the beginning this season and lost the drive to fight once merge hit, and I'd feel differently on another season, idk. Dale 4.0 - TBD.

I'm hoping Drew wins, just cause why not. If not him, I'm good with a Lucy win as well. Even if she fucked me.
