Thank you everyone for all the love. My geography is ASS CHECKS I dont know shit that is 100% real. I loved my pre merge game and thats why i was so mad being the first boot of the merge I felt I was better than that. After seeing all those kind words really makes me feel better about my game. This was a great first ORG experiance and I LOVED being on the jury

My gut knew those idols were fake but then in the end i choose to give Abe the benefit of the doubt DAMN MY STUPID HEART

your reads in the jury before FTC were so spot on it was sad to see Abe fog up your moment of clarity

Still, I loved your confessionals nad your jury speech. i hope if you play again you will pull the trigger and trust your gut more."

Loveita wrote:"My least favorite types of shows/movies in the world are those that start with an INCREDIBLE idea and amazing potential and then take it all and shit, piss, and stomp all over it before throwing it in the garbage and refusing to admit they did any of that. Girl I love you (I DO TRUST ME YOU'LL SEE) but it's like you did your best to try to make me hate you. I'll leave you with a math lesson: Say you have 9 people in the game. A vote comes out 5-3-1. If two of the people in the 5 (COUGH COUGH Leslie and Shan) flipped to work with their ally, the vote would still be...5-3-1, just with Abraham going home instead of Sara. Even if that vote wasn't thrown. You and Leslie were the swing votes.  #jrwasright"

Nofo wrote:"I liked you a lot. Have a great summer."

Danni wrote:"(insert the shanthem song here) Of all the Ancha players this season, you were the one I was most invested in. You had great instincts about your position within your alliance, and were SO CLOSE to clocking your true enemies at multiple points in the early merge. Unfortunatley that misplaced trust in Abe was your downfall, but watching you explore your options to flip with the Kallpa's was entertaining and exciting, and your bond with leslie was so fun. Great game!"

Dean wrote:"You were a number you were a number YOU WERE A NUMBER! Shan. On Ancha, you had this cool underdog story since you were a comp beast as well as having a really good read and position on the tribe, even though you weren't part of the inner core running the tribe. Underrated. Then when merge happened, we were really scared that Jaime and Leslie would be split apart, but you were one of the most vocal people against a Jaime vote and the lurkers turned to you. You couldn't get it to happen, and you being sorry for it made us root for you regardless since you were against Ancha. Then the fucking F9 vote. YOU. WERE. A. NUMBER. Tattling to the stoners about a Abraham vote made your stock with the lurkers drop FAST. See Loveita's math lesson for more info. That's two times you blue balled the lurkers... Fool us once, fool us twice. That F9 vote made the rest of the season... what we got. Thanks for your confessional style though, I loved how "live" it felt!"

Susie wrote:"My winner pick! So rootable from the start and I loved watching you play. The frustrating moments of you miscalculating the chances of getting votes on what would have been much more strategic and interesting game choices overshadowed some of the earlier spark and made me wonder what could have been, but I completely loved your realness and commitment to giving Stranded your all. "

Your player bio alone sold me on whether or not I would want to work with you as a player (I would). Your love of Great Danes will forever bond us personally (Alexander says “heyyy” to Cash and June btw) and I am STILL impressed that you were able to crack Deshawn's reverse-alphabetical code in the Deadly Sins challenge, (which helped launch Ancha to an early numbers lead). Everyone knows you are a dangerous player, so I’m not going to mention the F9 vote and instead talk about how hilarious that O NOES NO VOTE COMMENT WHO COULD THIS BE vote for Xander was.  "

James Lin wrote:"Ugh, I really like you as a person in our limited interactions so I was rooting for you from the very start! You started off strong with challenge performances and having great reads on Ancha. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to translate in post merge where you ended up being a number for Abe to cut off whenever he felt like. You could have made something big happen, but it didn't materialize."

Also why do I feel like I'm reading the Stranded yearbook or something right now and this is our graduating class 

is it because I said “have a great summer ” to half of you

Poody wrote:"In the season, you started off ROUGH. I thought you were going to be a f2 goat for sure. But, boy did you become one of the most righteous players in the entire game once you hit Ponderosa. Of all the jurors i found myself loving you the most. You were a riot. I really hope if you get the chance to play again that we get to see more of that Heather the entire game. The callouts on the way out were *chefs kiss*"

Loveita wrote:"I was so nervous about you going in. I knew you weren't into Survivor and went in with the worst strategy ever - planning to play an UTR floater game. Early game my worst fears were coming true as Ancha lined you up to leave after Danny and you still hadn't shown any fire. But holy shit, did you prove me wrong when you finally understood the dynamics of the game. Unfortunately, you realized it all too late to save yourself, but your comments on jury alone made casting you worth it. "

Nofo wrote:"Queen of FTC, maybe? You need to bring that fire to the game while you're in it."

Danni wrote:"Hey you scallywag. You were someone who i didn't think much of pre-merge, but once the game ramped up you became a hater, which is the best thing you can be in stranded. Watching you come alive to drag the rest of the cast in confessional and jury has been a joy. never change."

Dean wrote:"Holy shit. You were a roller coaster to watch. On Ancha, to be blunt you had stupid as fuck reads, way the far fuck out there. Thought you'd be the first boot, and when merge happened, I remember hating that someone like you made it to merge over Aaron. But then this QUEEN showed up! Loved seeing you call people ragamuffins and ganks. You had a fire under your ass and you're one of the only people to talk your shit right against the status quo, and I was happy we saw this Heather. Last couple rounds you were in the game, you had perfect reads. Unfortunately, this was way too late of a realization, but you're one of the shining stars of the jury, so thanks for making Ponderosa so fun lmfao."

Susie wrote:"Loved you on this season Heather! It took a minute, but your personality shone through and you slayed in our hearts. Would love to see you gain your footing a bit sooner next game and start being involved in the strategy conversations earlier. Once you got rolling, you were a riot and we loved having you here this season. "

Tyler wrote:"I thought you were a rook. Then I thought you were a knight. But you’re actually a queen. <3  Coming into the game with the intention of being a “ditzy yet insightful” player, you proved to be anything but ditzy. I adore strategic players, so I was rooting for you to find a foothold in the game from the beginning. And you kinda needed a foothold, because you were an early target for Ancha that they never got to act on until much later in the game, aka when your legacy really started to unfold. Lurkerville was rooting SO HARD for you the day you told Sara her time was up and started to get the Abe plan in motion. Anything for the shakeup, to prevent the inevitable, and you came so close. Then you really came into your own in Ponderosa, treating us all to an incendiary exit speech, some spot-on takes, and new vocabulary! Thank you for being a fiery addition to the cast and giving the game of Survivor a try. I’d love to see you in a future season. "

James Lin wrote:"Your pre-merge game was... weird to say the least and you realized too little too late that your ass was toast. But man did you come to life in jury. I made sure to always read the newest Heather comment to see how she was going to drag the cast this time around. Your comments were hilarious."

It's not about how you start. It's about how you finish. And I'm grateful to have played and entertained. Thank you all so much ❤

[Dean Kowalski]

Not all my comments being misplaced

P.S You all need a lesson from me on how to make fake idols that pass the Stranded quality threshold.

Step aside shitstain, my fake idol passed the best. Look at JR's ponderosa thread

[Sara]

Sara you were my favorite! I loved how intense and fun your energy was in our conversations.

You know everyone will get to read confessionals, right? 

And the truth shall set you free!!

[Jaime]

The trio of Jaime/Sara/Heather on the jury was amazing. 

The riffing we would do would always make my day. Best part of the Jury experience hands down

[Michael Snow]

Sara you were my favorite! I loved how intense and fun your energy was in our conversations.

You know everyone will get to read confessionals, right? 

And this is when Xander finds out you can’t delete posts. Lol

[Xander]

Sara you were my favorite! I loved how intense and fun your energy was in our conversations.

Oh 100 percent hahahah. I was nasty to her in my pre merge confessionals. But i grew to love her

❤Loveita THANK YOU

[Heather]

If I have a king, I needs queen too right?

Heather was majestic, raw with the right amount of solid reads and bitchiness.  Your Evvie hate was very relatable (sorry Evvie) and your read on Leslie being somewhat irrelevant was solid at the time too.  (Sorry Leslie).

A must for All-Stars.

AYYYYYY! Erika, I love you girl. Idk how you did it but you always sent a message at the right time and it kept me going. You're the best ❤

[Dean Kowalski]

You lot are gonna have fun reading confessionals on people's true thoughts

[Dean Kowalski]

Also I wish Shan was here to give a live proper math lesson to her in case she goes back to that tragic F9 round

Loveita wrote:"You're a breath of fresh air. You might not be the most exciting player with off the wall strategies, but you played an incredibly solid game, and showed everyone you obviously have what it takes to play this game. I think we could throw you in any game and any cast and you'd adapt well and put up a strong showing. As I said in Ponderosa, the type of player who will either go out 6th (4th-7th, I'll give more leeway), or win it all. You don't have it in you to be a losing finalist."

Nofo wrote:"I really enjoyed your final tribal council performance, good job."

Danni wrote:"In a season full of crazies, you were the most levelheaded player. You did your best to play the jury management game, but unfortunately  you got lumped in as a stoner despite them always keeping you at an arms length and got pegged as the biggest winner threat. Would love to see how you do in a season where the sides aren't so clearly defined"

Dean wrote:"The favourite to win! You had just the right amount of gameplay, likeability, and little blood on your hands in order to sweep FTC if you made it. Your vote out was probably one of the only shocking ones in merge, mostly because the stoner trio seemed deadset on taking you to F4, and only during F6 they clicked together that it was too dangerous to take you closer. They were right in doing that, but it sucks since you would have been an amazing winner! You're also the classiest person in all of merge, you take things well my man."

Susie wrote:"Your game was elegant and well-rounded. While tragic, your ousting was one of the best moves at that point in the game, I was just hoping Pachamama wouldn't see it. Thank you for gracing us with your well-measured gameplay and excellent game!"

Tyler wrote:"On day one I thought you sounded amazing as a player on paper and your early confessionals reminded me alot of myself, so OBVIOUSLY I foresaw you as one of a few likely winners. Kind, strategic, and lovable, you completely lived up to my expectations--In fact, nothing reminds me more of my early days playing ORGs than building solid friendships throughout the game that all turn on me at final 7, 6 or 5. Like every time. It's a thing. But it's a thing because you are basicaly too likable to be allowed anywhere near a FTC, and that's really a genuine compliment. Clearly this cast loved you as did the hosts and lurkers and, given the chance to play again, I'm confident you could nail that end-game killer instinct. "

James Lin wrote:"You were the safe bet to win this whole thing. You did a great job in every aspect of the game and it was a shame you got cut when you did."

[Xander]

Shan you infuriated me because you were impenetrable. Bravo.

How are your 7 cats?

Deshawn in a cast full of crazy dummies you were the least crazy and least dumb and you deserve praise for that
