Well, I think I lost this game in the first five minutes I was out here, because I didn't make friends with the right people. This is a social tribe: they've got 100 percent social and 0 percent strategic abilities. So I guess that's the way it goes.
But I had a great time, forgetting about those goobers. I had the adventure of a lifetime; it was outstanding. I just want to tell Jeanette and my family how much I love them and miss them. And to all my friends: you guys are awesome! I'm sorry if I let anybody down. It was a cool little ride. Word.
If I could change one thing about what I could have done to make this better for me, I would have tried to make better friends in the first couple of minutes. Right off the bat, I was caught up in the moment, excited about the adventure, and I kept to myself. I didn't go in and start making friends immediately, which is really what you have to do, because the tribe I ended up being with was extremely social. All they cared about was friendships, and they're SO not thinking strategically, which is a big strong point of mine: strategic thinking about SURVIVOR. So I wish I would have just gone with the dumb method and tried to be friends with everybody.
