First off, I would like to respond to Leah's comments.
Leah, I never once said that it was "heartless" of Ryan to vote me out. I TOLD Ryan that if she was unable to get the votes to keep me, I'd have absolutely no problem with her voting me out. Please stop making it seem like I think she is a bad person for voting me out.
Back to your regularly scheduled program.
Colleen and Ryan!
Congratulations on making the final 2!!! Both of you very well deserve this.
Colleen, I know we didn’t talk game much, let alone talk at all, and that was definitely just because we were separated and never were together until the merge, which sucks, but what can you do. Truthfully, when I was still in the game, you were the last person I saw myself voting for to win. I felt like you hadn’t really done much of anything. But I am glad we finally got to talk at length on my last night in the game because it really opened my eyes to what a nice person and a great player you are.
To be honest, Colleen, I don’t have anything to ask you. I know that is super lame, but I assume anything I need to know you will answer in your responses to the other jurors. I really just didn’t spend enough time with you in the game to have any burning questions. I guess my question for you will be to tell me a funny or embarrassing story, because I like to laugh.
Ryan, I’m actually really proud of you. You were playing the game from literally the first minute, and you never let your heart get in the way of your gameplay. What you did when it gone down to final 3 showed a lot of dedication, perseverance, and will, and although I always knew you could make the end, I am still very impressed. Well done.
Like I mentioned, I have absolutely no problem with you voting me out of the game, whether we are friends or not. You did what you had to do to progress yourself further. That being said, there are a few things you did that I felt bothered by. And yes, being friends probably did impact that. As much as I'd like to push that aside, it's human nature to be hurt by it. I'm sorry if that's immature, but I hope one day I will learn to not let little things like this affect me. There are a few instances, and initially I had them all written out, but I decided to not waste all your time and to just stick with the one that hurt me the most.
The first round of the merge, you completely abandoned me as an alliance partner. I had absolutely no idea what was going on in the game. I knew chances were slim of getting you and Carly to side with Chase and I, but I thought I at least deserved the respect from you to at least inform me of what decision your little Ellis alliance was going to make. The entire night I was asking you, and you did not say a word. Every time I asked you, you changed the subject. I found this borderline rude, because you knew you were my #1 ally, and I felt I had proven that in many ways, and you couldn’t even inform me on the decisions you and your alliance were going to make. Right before I logged off that night, you told me you would update me the next morning. Well I logged in the next morning, expecting a PM with an update, and got nothing. An hour before the deadline, you came online, and I had to ASK you what the results were going to be, and you finally told me.
Everyone knows you are an incredible social player, but the way you treated me that round was not good social game play. And I don’t feel like you would have treated anyone else in the game that same way. I feel like because you knew I would do whatever you wanted the whole game, you felt like it was okay to leave me in the dark. And if it was because you didn’t trust me in some way, well that sucks because I would have done anything for you in this game.
So I don't know. I guess I just needed some closure to the situation because I am really not taking it lightly. I would appreciate that instead of getting defensive with me, you just really try to understand where I am coming from.
Thanks, and good luck. <3

And fair enough, it makes sense.
I don't really have any funny or emabrassing stories that I can think of, lol. I mean it's kinda embarassing that old men seem to like me? It's pretty annoying because I'm not interested in suga daddies.
