Final Words

[Shawna Mitchell]

So my Sausage journey has ended. 9th place - at least a couple of places better than SI3. And two months of my life I'll never get back!! JK, it was fun.

Thanks for inviting me to play. I really had a great time and I'll say it again.... Lex and Brett, you are amazing hosts and you really put on a first class game.

I do hope you come back from your long sabbatical, Brett, and not just because I want to see updated episode titles, and possibly cartoons! Hope you're doing well wherever you are.

This was such a mixture of emotions. Heart-pounding drama, joy, heartbreak, laughter, guilt, grief.... and always intense! I had the pleasure of playing with some great people. No regrets!

So now, off to Ponderosa! But, before I go, some final thoughts on the remaining players...in the order of how I would love to see them leave the game....






Sean. Ugh. If not for Alex, he would be dead last on my list for who I'd like to give a vote to right now. And only by a small margin. He got lucky that he ended up with the majority side, protected by Sydney and bolstered by Miki and Vee's flipping. How ironic. I've yet to see this guy step up and make a move of any kind on his own, though. And, horrible jury management. (You think mine is bad?) Does anyone seriously believe he wouldn't have voted for me whether or not I said I would vote Kim? No. His parchment made no sense, AND he misquoted me. Points lost for Dr. Sean.






Alex is definitely playing an UTR game. Although it's a bit of a blow to my ego to leave the game before someone like this, something can be said for this kind of a strategy. I really liked Alex when I first met him, and there was some fun banter back and forth. We never ended up on a tribe together, though, so never had the opportunity to really talk game. Probably a nice guy in real life but, If he makes the finals I'll probably see him as a goat and couldn't really imagine voting for him right now. He'd really have to step it up or show that there is more to him than meets the eye.






Big disappointment for me here. While I can kind of understand not wanting to be in a F6 with Me, Chase, Colby, Kim and Vee, I'll never forget the feeling I had during the live AIM IC/TC. I took it very personally and it's what I will remember when I think about her game. We came together over a common goal, to vote Sean out. Then she flipped to his side and joined with him to help take me out. I don't know what she's done in the game besides hang in a pack and, I really hope I don't ever have to find out.






I laughed when I heard she said she was going to win the game the other day, but I have an open mind regarding Candice. First of all, she fought very hard to take me out during the double TC, and I think she had really gained some steam at one point. I don't exactly know what her vendetta was against me, other than the fact we had no relationship whatsoever, but she worked toward her goal. That was actually impressive. And, we even had a couple of laughs about it afterward. I don't see her as the forerunner but wouldn't be completely surprised if her prophecy came true.






Snakecepia. Even though I cast my vote for her tonight, I admire her game more than some others. She back-stabbed and flip-flopped yes, but haven't we all a little. She did do it to me so that makes me want a little vengeance...but I'd also have some satisfaction watching her take out Sean. It's kind of a win win. Anyway, I did put her fourth from the bottom because it would be satisfying to see her almost make the end...but not quite. People would be crazy to let her get this close, though.






We've had our ups and downs, and I've definitely had some harsh words for her throughout the game. In the beginning, I was 100% loyal to her but things change. She says she would have always been loyal to me but I'm definitely not convinced. Either way, the fact that she was down in numbers, lost two good allies, but then turned things back around, not to mention winning a few individual immunities during the process. The girl knows how to work a room. I would probably still like to see her make the end at this point. With all it took to get to this point, the game has to have a deserving winner!






Awww my captain! Ironic that I started off this game wanting to distance myself from Chase but we could never really get away from each other. At times he was inactive because he has so much going on but, he again proved to be a pretty good ally to me despite myself. I don't see him lasting too much longer but, I'd like to see him find a way to infiltrate, work some people, and stay in the game. It might be a long shot but I'd really love to see it happen.






I put Kim last between her and Chase purely because she wants this SO BAD! It's so ironic that I had a hand in voting her out of the game the first time - with her HII - and we became pretty good allies once she returned. I was rooting for her to win last night (after myself, of course), and she pulled it out against two powerhouse competitors. She has a good shot to keep winning and can hopefully wedge herself back into a good position. It would be a great underdog story and I'd love to see it happen!
