What do I say about my time here? so many thoughts, so many emotions.
I was shocked to be asked to return as I felt that the game had passed me by, now that It's done it's clear to me that some things have changed. I'm a lot calmer than I used to be but the Sassy Sugar is still very much alive, I only know how to play the game one way...and that's to just be me. I love to chat and get to know people and hope I've made some "real" connections with some great people, I'm a lot slower at challenges but I chalk that up to simply being out of practice.
I wouldn't change a thing about how I played this time around, Sure I would've liked to have gone further and made Final 3 with my girls (Kell/Flicks) but the players have changed since my early days. Gone are the times when staying together as a group was important, if you were inactive or coasting then we scorched your ass! If I remember correctly I made 3 finals in the long long ago (winning 2) and each time was against a pretty solid competitor and "friend". It used to be important to do this thing with an ally and see how far you could get TOGETHER, but the game has changed and now it's about "me, myself and I"..."like yeah I really like this person, but I can beat a coaster at the end so screw "friendship"
Maybe I'm just remembering the "old days" a little too fondly but that's how I felt. when it's all said and done I'm so glad I came back and I hope I did you proud, it warms my heart to see so many of these people think I was great....I'd do this again in a heartbeat. I had a blast!
people who stand out for me :
Flicks/My Panda : so glad she was my partner I hope she had as much fun with me as I did with her.
Kelly : my home girl, so wish we could've gone further
Kimmi : truly a great person, too bad we weren't on the same page
Mookie : had some great chats and then he cut my throat, shame I was a pretty big fan until that happened
Gabe : I feel like we got on pretty well and then I read some stuff at Ponderosa and now I'm not sure who I was talking with at all.
Sophie: she's a gamer, and not as terrible as she seems....you gotta bring her back again
Liliana : had the votes gone differently she'd be the Sophie right now.....slightly more loveable though
Kristina : wish she woulda stayed longer, we were getting on well
Shane : don't ever change
as for the game itself, to be critical.....the idols were getting a little ridiculous, I mean really? I went home because of one! I would say mixing up the challenges might be a good idea, people I chatted with seemed to know what was coming and were way too damn good at some of them. Other than that, loved it...great job as always. who knew all those years ago that you would have built this thing up to where it is today. so proud to be a part of it's history and hopefully a small part of it's future (I want the hero edit :))
thanks for having me/putting up with me
luv ya old friend,
Sugs
