Rites of Passage

It is time for the Rites of Passage. Take this time to reflect on your journey in this game as well as the people who left for you four to be where you are now. Please play the audio and enjoy your experience.

Jay

You seemed nice enough the three times we PMed.

Keegan

Zach You sort of disappeared as soon as the game began so we didn't get to talk at all. I wish you the best in your future endeavors!

I had a good time in the game while I was there, and I have no bad feelings towards anyone. I wish I could've done most of the Bahamas alumni proud, but I'm glad I got the chance to come back. <3

Ashley

Who?

Jack

Don't really remember you, but um... you voted for me so that's cool.

Keegan

We were never on the same tribe, so I didn't get the chance to know you at all but I heard you were a lovely bean!

None of you could ever be as iconic as me. I left when i wanted to. The rest of y'all got your games ended by each other. Wanted to vote me out? Too late, i'm 5 steps ahead of you and i snuffed my own torch and very much enjoyed my Bahamas Cruise. Jk i love you guys and as always, stay shook!

Ashley

Honestly you seemed super cool, you are hilarious and I loved that you were into musicals as much as Alex and I. It sucks we didn't get to talk more and get to play much, hopefully we can again soon!

Jack

I probably would've been voted out if you hadn't left so I love you even tho idk you.

Jay

We didn't get to play together but you know you're my son and I love you so many and I wish we'd had a chance to kill people together :/ robbt

Keegan

Much the same as Madison, I never got the chance to know you. Hope you do well in future games!

My time in the game was amazing and I'm really upset that it was cut short by real life problems. I feel like I was doing really well and had some stable relationships with different people. I will always regret leaving this game and hope to play again sometime in the future

Ashley

Kinda the same situation as with Ben, you seemed super nice! Hope we can actually play together again.

Keegan

Kai! My OG Number 1! Right from the very first few days we had a pact to make it to the end together. We shared reef clues and everything. You were my ride or die and I was so sad to see you leave, I hope everything is okay!

I still have yet to survive a single tribal council in this series, but I still feel like I didn't completely waste my second chance. at least I had fun

Ashley

Your vote was tough for me. I felt as though I could change my game by voting with you but it just turned out to be too soon to make any big moves. You were super nice and I thoroughly enjoyed talking with you!

Jack

We were technically on 'merge' beach together, but I don't think we ever spoke but, uh, gl in future games I guess?

Jay

We also didn't play together much but we've played together before and ily. You're honestly a better player than me, so I'm a lil shook to this day that you went when you did.

Keegan

Unfortunately we never bonded at all in the initial stages of the game, which was a big part of why I flipped on you. You're pretty cool and had we gotten to know each other earlier, I could definitely have seen us being in a strong alliance. I probably shouldn't have been so dishonest with you about that vote but I did what I felt was necessary to not expose myself and have a target pushed onto my own back at that particular stage of the game. Maybe we can be unstoppable allies in a future game!

My time in the game was doing really well until the tribe swap. I got close to my tribe, and when the tribe swapped it was hard to get to know all new people. Overall I feel as if i played better than last time, but I lacked in social game.

Ashley

You.... Never answered my contact request.... So.... Who?

Jack

Ayy another person who I don't really remember but voted for me. Honestly who even remembers most of premerge?

Keegan

Sydney! You shouldnt have been voted out! We only had short conversations near the start of the game but we had that alliance and I was sad to see the other tribe robbed you of your second chance!

This game was a blast and it really sucks that I went home because of a person that I put my trust in, especially when that's the second time. It's a shame on me sort of deal but I won't make that same mistake. I'm incredibly blessed to have had this opportunity to play again, but ooh man am I going to be a bitter betty.

Ashley

Oh Alex, I am probably the last person you wanted to see this close to the end. Yet again I fucked up your game and was an asshole. I knew that if you and Drew were reunited I would be screwed. You are a great player with a smart head on your shoulders and that is terrifying. I just hope you can respect the game move I made and understand why it had to be done. I love talking musicals with you and hearing about how our schools vary when it comes to perfoeming arts. I hope you kick ass in The Addams Family!!

Jack

I thought you were cool and kinda wanted to work with you at merge but... yeah rip.

Jay

I remember respecting the way you were playing and being a little afraid of you, and also enjoying our conversations about hosting and making visuals. You seem like an awesome addition to the Athena Series and a very cool person

Keegan

Maybe it was just me being paranoid but I never quite felt like we were actually aligned. I know Drew wanted the three of us to be the unstoppable Sentinel Force but there was just something that made me think you had other plans. Maybe it was me being gullible and believing whatever i was being told. I'm sorry to have decieved you like I did but at the time it felt like the right decision to me.

Soooo... where do I begin? I guess I would say I'm just happy I didn't get rocked out this time. I'm upset that this game started out a little rough for me and I never really got my footing. It was a good experience with people that I have gotten to know outside of orgs and finally getting to playing with them. Wish I used my second chance to it's fullest but I guess someone has to be a flop. Love the game and thank you to the hosts for casting me.

Ashley

Steven you are such a cutie. Like you were hilarious in any call we were in together. However I didnt feel as if we clicked that much, e had Alex holding us together but that was about it. Maybe we could change that in another season?

Jack

My fellow Taveuni goat player, gone too soon. Miss you buddy.

Jay

Your boot was the first of...every round where I ended up having to play the middle. Merge happened, and suddenly it was Kevin and I against the world. I would've rather gone for LA than you that night, but, like I said, I just was forced to work the middle and wasn't sure who was ever telling me the truth. Regardless of the game, it's been lit getting to know you in the various chats we're both in and you're a pretty fun guy. Maybe some day we can play together and work together for real.

Keegan

WE COULD HAVE BUILT AN AWESOME BRIDGE TOGETHER! And that's the last time I'll mention bridges. But I thought we could have worked together to make our second Second Chances awesome. We both were robbed in the first one. You were an unfortunate victim caught in the path of resistance!

To y'all who've made it this far: congrats! I wish I could've made it farther than I did, but unfortunately some people couldn't let that happen🐍🐍🐍. I really enjoyed playing this season, I loved meeting everyone. I only wished that I could have made it farther because like, I'm super bored now. And it was fun too. Oh and I also wished I play that damn idol🐍.

Ashley

Kevin! Tbh I do regret voting you out. I do like that your vote /kinda/ gave us Jay to work with, but seeing the way it middled her in this game it kinda sucked. I dont think you deserved to go as soon as you did. We were being led to believe you were giving info to the other side, and so i went with my gut, I hope we can play together again soon though.

Jack

I cannot BELIEVE you got voted out there, but blame Jay. Actually a lot of things in this game can be blamed on Jay. Huh.

Jay

I miss you so much. I haven't had a lot of moments in game where I felt like I was making genuine friendships with another player- in fact, I've probably only had two before this - but I was lucky enough to 'meet' you and become your friend (apparently we met in motu maha but everyone knows I don't remember that game at all). At the points in this game where I didn't trust anyone and felt like I didn't have any friends, you were always there for me. You were an amazing ally and a great person to be a duo with in this hell game. I wish we could've played together a lot longer than we did, and I know ultimately it's my fault that we couldn't. So thank you for being someone to explain all my crazy thoughts to, someone who helped me make sense of things, and thank you for being willing to play the middle with me, even though it was deathly stressful for the both of us. You're the only person who actually knows the truth and the full gamut of my position in the game, and that's a big deal to me still.

Keegan

Voting you out might have been the toughest vote honestly. I had nothing against you, no actual reason to vote you out beyond wanting to further my own game. Maybe that's a valid enough reason but you certainly didn't deserve to be voted out that way. The Wholesome Happening is missing some Wholesome without you!

Y'all just jealous you never got to hold the pretty idol and did all those puzzles for nothing. I guess that's why you never talked to me huh. Get well soon! Ashley

Do you know how long I have wanted to just outlast you in a game? So. Freaking. Long. Like I am proud. I know it was kind of just luck that you didnt play your idol on yourself and got me out but I am still shakin in my boots. You are such a funny and great personality to be around, you were a big threat to win and I hope you know I still love you 💕.

Jack

The only person at merge who like... really reached out to me. You should've idoled yourself but I guess you live and learn. I wish you didn't get so robbed, man.

Jay

Honestly cracked icon. I'm still not sure how much of the stuff we talked about was genuine on either of our parts, but I sure as hell enjoyed those conversations and miss talking with you. It's rare in games where I feel like I'm talking to someone who's playing in the same way I like to play, so that was a lot of fun for me. Thank you for supporting me, like, on a personal emotion level the night of the double tribal when I was scared and panicking. It meant a lot and it showed me that you were more than just a scary player. You're a good person. I know you insisted to me over and over that you weren't a scary player, but I didn't believe it until then.

Keegan

We could have been so great together! But then you had to go on a warpath of trying to vote out anyone who voted for Alex, which unfortunately included me! I wish we could have actually worked together in this game; youre a lovely person and a good friend. And we both flopped at playing idols this season lmao

All in all I really enjoyed myself this game, from working with Ashley, Drew and Alex to playing both sides of Ashley/ Keegan and Kevin/Jay but it started to feel like a work after Kevin went home and stopped being fun. These games are made to have fun with and to build new friendships but when they stop being fun, you stop caring as much. It was interesting being able to work with LA and coming up with plans and working them out face to face... Should probably start going video calls haha

Ashley

JD you were my #1 for the longest time. And then being in a chat with you and LA kind of showed me you would never choose me over her. Which is perfectly fine, I understand. However it made some situations super hard and that got old after a little while. I am sorry you didnt get those bragging rights but I really do think we had a good friendship while we were together, you said you were the bitterr juror but I hope you can understand why we had to do what we did. Hopefully we can keep talking after this game is over!

Jack

Pretty sure you were like, running the game, so I'm glad we were able to get you out. Another person with a failed idol which is like... the fourth person this game. Amazing.

Jay

You've been a good friend and person to me since Emathia. I really admire how you can be 10x as cracked as me while still being fun and enthusiastic about the game. Like I've said to you, the only thing I care about is that you don't hate me as a person when all is said and done. Whatever you think of me as a player, I hope you know that I consider you a friend and one of the few genuinely fun people in the community who I know I can come to about things. Bringing you into this hellmunity was honestly one of the best decisions I've ever made and I'm so glad I reached out to you because now you've become this, like, really iconic player who probably would've trounced me in this game had you been willing to go for LA. I think you're awesome and I can't wait to see who gets slaughtered by you next!

Keegan

You are a powerhouse of a player! One of the best for sure! And that's why we had to vote you out! You had an idol, solid allies and big moves to back up your game. You could have won this whole thing if we didn't take you out when we did. Im honoured to have played by your side for as long as I did.

I felt good about the game going in, it was fun and I actually had people I knew which was a nice change from the only two i knew in Taveuni. It got messy at the end and it was the first time I had been upset about a vote, not me going home I expected that, but seeing JD get blindsided just because she actually tried to make people feel safe and keep them safe, i guess that was our friendship coming through. It was also annoying that people assumed we were a F2 just cause we're friends and that played apart in my game whether it was true or not. If its not obvious the game got a little frustrating for me, I enjoyed the beginning though.

Ashley

Even though you pretty much knew you were going home the other night, you didnt try to bargain with me or acted desperate. I feel like you were quite classy and I respect that. You and JD were the "it" duo for a while. We knew we couldnt keep you together and probably shouldnt keep one qithout the other. But I enjoyed the talks and being in an alliance with you, I LOVE your cats and appreciated every time you showed them to us. 💕

Jack

My other Taveuni pal. I voted you out like 3 times, but not the one time you actually got out. #BlameJay

Jay

It was kind of an honor to get to play with you, to be honest. For real, I mean. I'd heard so much about you as a player and a person before this game started and aligning with you was both terrifying and fulfilling. Even though JD did most of the talking for our alliance, your presence was always stabilizing. Ultimately I had to do what I thought was best for my game every vote since merge, and, same as JD, I hope you don't see me as a malicious person for backstabbing you in the game in the ways that I have. It was and is all game, so I won't take anything you have against me personally.

Keegan

We had an interesting dynamic this game. From start to finish, we flip flopped between alliances and enemies. We really had no reason to work together as much as we did but I'm glad for the times we had. You were a fun ally and it was fun butting heads when we did!
