== Final Words ==
Simon Ghebremariam: good game everyone
Melia Olenik: in melia we trust... GO HEROES!
Maddie Lorgeree: Uh ok so I think this was really fun and I always enjoy playing these. My favorite moment was probably making alliances. Because you know 👏👏secrets👏👏. Worst moment? Getting voted out. Pretty sure no one likes that, if you do im a little concerned for you😀. I wish I couldve stayed a bit longer just for the drama to be honest, I enjoyed watching things unravel when I was playing last game😭. Anyways, I had a really fun time and am looking forward to the next time I'm able to play in this again. :) p.s. dont trust the wheel cuz it shows no mercy.
Emilee Dunham: villains tribe is the most belly smelly born and ready hamster beddy without a heady tiny peeny meanie weenie not very teamie fucking preenie team i’ve ever been on.
Delaney Allen: i love you guys good luck hero’s !!
Jeremy Leonard: jess if you don’t win i swear to god...
Shannon Gustin: So I’m really happy that I got the chance To play in the season after losing last season by no votes in the finals (that was actually really funny though.) I actually really enjoyed this season even though I got out. I think I learned a lot by watching how other people played that have already played the game before. This season was tough, challenges were harder people were 10 times more competitive than season I played. And like just thinking about it getting out this early and having Maddie vote me out like I feel that’s kind of an honor because Maddie thought I was a big enough threat to be voted out that just makes me happy in the end. So I’m really hoping the person I wanna win wins but yeah the season was really fun . But hopefully I can come back and play another season and get to the top and hopefully get at least one vote in the finals.
Colin McKenna: Maddy this ones for you… MADDY WHAT THE ACTUAL HECKER!!! I THOUGHT WE WERE GUNNA ALLIENCE! THE SPLIT VOTE AND SUPER IDOL!! well played BUT STILL!! WE COILD HAVE GONE SOOO FAR TOGETHER. anyways… I litterally love this game and i’m so happy I at least made it to jury!!
Jessica Gillooly: I wish i could’ve stayed in longer and played to my FULLEST potential. people definitely find me as a threat which i don’t think i am i have no strategy whatsoever LOL. but i love playing and this game is so fun
Megan Joyce: Omg this season was so much fun, thrilling even. As mentioned shout out to Dora my problem solving skills came in handy. And to Paw Patrol for teaching me how to plan for big things. Of course My Little Pony and teaching me how to be nice and try to network alliances. Oh and of course Loki (my queen, life, hero, role model, and mom) for teaching me how to properly stab people in the back ummm…. Got me this far…. Love you Loki, queen. Oh and shout out to Ben you are such a great host and you make the game feel so intense and real and fun and no body else can do what you do!!! To the players it was so great playing along and I’m sorry for hurt feelings. I just really connected with my villain self these past few weeks maybe it’s something in my water. Also good luck to everyone else!! Anyway Live, Laugh, Love - Megan <3
