I'm mad that I'm here, but at the same time I can respect good gameplay. The only person who really surprised me was Lorii. I didn't plan on her being in with Payne and them. I don't know why she would stay with them, considering she really doesn't have a shot with them in the finals.
Does it piss me off that I got played? No. I mean I went down swinging and I was playing everyone. Obviously, I can't be mad at Allan, Payne or Ashley since I was going to vote them out next. Steph, apparently voted with me, but she's likely gone.
What pisses me off is that last TC I had a great plan and somebody fucked it up. I should have gone for the gusto, but I would have taken a huge risk. In retrospect I should have taken it, but then I continued to play down the road. Voting out Piper did kill me.
In closing, I think my greatest shortcoming was not being social enough and not putting enough emphasis on people's emotions. I didn't get lubby-dubby with everyone and try to be friends. I assumed everyone would act in their own best interests strategically. After reflecting on the situation, these people were probably stupid to not take me to the final 3. I was voted least trustworthy and most unpopular. I wasn't a great challenge threat. They should have realized that they could beat me and Steph in the end. Instead, I think those 4 will go to the end and it will be a friends thing. I guess if I lost because I played strategically and others did not, I'm fine with that.
