Round #1 - International Week
vs. vs.
I vote to evict .. Drew.
Drew, hey there! We never really got a chance to talk at all during the game and that was ultimately my reason for voting to evict you. There was a chance for the vote to possibly go another direction, but with you being seemingly busy and not completing the Power of Veto competition, I think that's what heavily played into people's decision to evict you. Good luck with your exams!

Round #2 - Dixie's Reign
vs.
I vote to evict .. Kevin.
Hey, Kevin! I know you're probably going to get alot of what I'm about to say, but what it came down to, especially for me, was just the lack of availability on your part. I realize the time difference, and in a game like this, a reason like that weighs heavily on anyone's decision when it comes to casting a vote to evict. On top of that, you're a beast of a competitor! Best of luck, take care!

Round #3 - Talla's Reign [⌂÷]
vs.
I vote to evict .. Roddy.
Ugh, Sage! This is depressing. The vote being between you and Shane is awful as it is. I remember the first day I met each of you and you both greeted me as "Pamela". Fun times! But, everyone seemed uneasy in keeping you because apparently your "throwing" plan leaked. The votes still didn't appear to be in your favor as of this afternoon too. I'm sorry and hope to see you around!

Round #4 - Helen's Reign [⌂÷]
vs.
I vote to evict .. Joe.
Hey, Joe! What the vote came down to, for me, was basically the lack of communication. We had spoken alot during the first week and then we kind of stopped talking to one another. I never had much of a problem with you and actually really like you, but when it comes down to you or Shane, keeping you appears to be a lost cause. Hopefully any dates you have in the future over a yummy bowl of stir fry end up being much more enjoyable. Take care, babes!

Round #5 - Sexy Singles' Reign [♀♀]
vs.
I vote to evict .. Talla.
Talla, this round was insanely crazy. I'm livid that you and Andrew were put up on the block in the first place. I enjoy both of you and having to see one of you go this week is nothing but a travesty. All our chats were amazingly fun and we'll always have our bond over tequila and hating AJ Burman and everything he stands for. If I had won by that one second, Andralla would have been off the block in a heartbeat. Keep twerking and doing your thing, girl.
Ugh, Andrew. If you're reading this, I am so, so sorry. I really did not want to see you leaving this week. I campaigned and tried to get the votes in your favor today, but as you know, there were forces working against you the past twenty-four hours. This really wasn't your time to go and you know this. If there is some sort of returnee twist, please kick ass in it and try your hardest to come back to Estelle, GM, and I. "Goodbye, Angels!" "Goodbye, Andrew!"
vs.
I vote to evict .. Ed.
Ed, no love lost between us, right? We spoke once that first week, because I had hoped to try and forge something between all of us that would've been beneficial, but it never kicked off. It's hard trying to play fake with someone that you don't even like, so we ended up just not talking to eachtoher at all, which was my preference. If you're reading this, then maybe Sam will write you *love* letters in return this season, much to our stomach's dismay.

Round #7 - Dixie's Reign
vs.
I vote to evict .. David.
Hey there, David. I don't know .. is it just me or did you make it a little too obvious that you were actually after me, despite the whole "you and I are good, I'm not after you" spiel you touted after I nominated you as nothing more than a pawn? You just made it easy for me to actually want you gone when you stopped talking to me altogether. Additionally, you going around saying you wanted to see me out proved my speculation. You were sharing your thoughts with the wrong people. That includes James. Bye, Mr. 420! Smoke a blunt.

Round #9 - Out-Of-Line Week
vs.
I vote to evict .. Shane.
Hey, Shane. I'm sorry about this. I really am. I never had any sort of problem with you in this game and I really did like you a great deal. It's nothing personal, but it's no secret that GinaMarie is someone I'm rather close with. You and I spoke before the Power of Veto, and you know this wasn't the voting scenario I wanted. Again, I'm sorry. Good luck with school and graduation!
GinaMarie, I love you. Last season was only the beginning. I feel that this season, we were faced with more challenges, more obstacles .. but it was all worth it. I feel closer to you than I did before. We have a stronger bond and I'm glad I got to play this game with you again. Don't let any of this phase you. You're amazing. If you are reading this, I'm going to try my hardest to avenge!

Round #10 - Estelle's Reign
vs.
I vote to evict .. Ryan.
Hey, Ryan. We had a small talk last night and a little bit today before the vote. As I told you, I wanted to believe what you were telling me, but the fact of the matter is, I'm finding it hard to trust you. You concern me. We haven't spoken much with one another the past couple of rounds, and the first time we are, your neck is on the line. I feel like I have to take everything you say with a grain of salt because of that. Talk to you soon, but hopefully not too soon.

Round #12 - Dominic's Reign
vs.
I vote to evict .. Sam.
Sammy, it's been a long time coming! I do have to say though, that those few rounds we actually worked together were pretty refreshing. You proved to be a pretty good ally .. well, in terms of voting atleast. I felt I could count on you for a bit, but then when you went back on certain things closer to the end of your game, more or less around the GM eviction, is when all of that went out the window. It was a different game this time around for the two of us and it was an interesting ride! Talk to you soon, but hopefully not too soon! See ya' later.

Round #13 - Dixie's Reign
vs.
I vote to evict .. Ryan.
Ryan, I'm sorry about this. I know that your fate ultimately lied in mine and Dominic's hands this round, but he wasn't feeling it in the slightest, and I couldn't risk my game knowing that you were going even if I did throw you my vote. It's getting close to the end of the game, and having Dixie and Estelle behind me as strong allies is important for my game, and I can't risk derailing the momentum I have going by tying a vote that wouldn't end in your favor anyways. You played a great game; Shadow Coach and Whitney forever!

Finale - Winner Vote
vs.
This is extremely hard for me. I've found myself wavering between both of the finalists. I feel that as Estelle's friend outside of this game, I owe her my vote, because I think I'd feel the same way if the roles were reversed. However, the way she handled my eviction, especially since I was always so close to her in this game, felt disrespectful, like she assumed no matter what, that she'd just get my vote, because she, Dixie, and I all "agreed" to see her seated in the F2. I've appreciated her apology to me in her answers, but I'm struggling with just handing over my vote. It sort of makes me feel like I'd be a pushover if I did.
As for Dominic, I clearly don't have any ties to him outside of this game, but he was someone that I enjoyed playing alongside throughout the season. He was someone I wanted out in the early stages of the game because I was frustrated by his lack of a social game, but then he landed a position where he was a desired ally and a much needed vote. He stayed afloat and proved himself as someone strong in this game. I liked that he was honest and open about his game, even while he was playing. He didn't bullshit when confronted.
What it comes down to for me, is that had I not been a friend of Estelle before this game, had Dixie not been a close friend of Estelle before this game, I think that would have heavily altered Stella's chances making it this far to the end, especially since she wasn't as social like Dominic the first half of the game. It was the outer-game ties that helped Estelle the first half, whereas we saw Dominic get nominated for the same thing, but in turn prove and save himself.
I feel that Dominic took ownership of not being on AIM in this game, but shed light on the fact that he was actively PMing others, he was on Facebook IM, he was texting his closest allies, and all those people he talked to helped and aided him into getting here to the absolute end. Both he and Estelle have a similar outline in terms of how they played the game from start to finish, but the person getting my vote is the one who portrayed a refreshing sense of candor, something that I personally felt I couldn't do with people during the season.
