And last but not least - Stephen.

I hope everything in the real world is ok. I can tell how much being a part of this game means to you. And I hope you go far. I know you are safe tonight. That's for sure. If there is one thing I did - it was get the target off of you.

Don't thank me - everybody knows by now that I wasn't trying to be nice. I was trying to stir up trouble.

But - take care of yourself. And I hope you enjoy every minute of this game.

And afterwards, I hope we can laugh and enjoy each other's company.

All of us.

Well Stephen,

I think you have resigned yourself to be out of this game.

I know you would prefer the pace of this game to be much faster. Probably at the pace of some of the other online Survivor games out there that you play in. I've never seen or played any of those, but I will say this about the Survivor experience.

The single most important aspect of playing the game of Survivor is dealing with the monotony and boredom. That is one thing that Brobst games emulate deliciously. And I think it is why everything BLOWS UP online on challenge days.

To me, it is more important than dealing with hunger and the mental mindf**k that Survivor throws at you. Because boredom leades to lethargy. It takes your mind and body out of the game. And then, all is lost.

We do get bored, we do want action and excitement. And so after a couple days of limited communication, we engineer it. And thus the roller coaster ride that is Survivor.

The other thing the slower, more real pace allows is adjustment. You have time to correct your course. To improve your standing. To forge stronger and newer relationships.

I hope that you have taken advantage of those - because of all the people here - I think you would relish those discoveries more than anyone else. I can tell that you were made for this game.

But remember, you don't ever drive the car in Survivor. Survivor drives you - and you usually don't even get a seat belt. Enjoy the bumpy ride - because no matter what happens, it's totally worth the trip.

If we lose tonight, I think you'll be the one to go. I've enjoyed our limited talks and I hope you will play this again - because I know you can be a rock star at it.
