5th - Steve Burnside

robbed god

I have to +1 H.U.N.K. here. What an absolute lad. What an incredible arc for your game. The immunity run was insane, and the best part is that you didn't even need it! What a lad. 

You played with fire at the last moment, and I fucking respect you for it.

Oh Steve I know you are hoping not to be compared to Erik here. So I will refrain from saying it. I truly think you are the picture perfect ally up until you choose not to be For quite awhile pre-merge I thought you were going to be a sleeper hit that was going to burst into life at merge and be a front runner.

I didn't quite think winning immunity 5 times and randomizing your vote on a couple instances and then opting to give away immunity in an attempt to make a move happen was how you were going to do it, but I'm glad you proved me right. Just when I was about to be like *sigh* I saw this Steve win coming from pre-merge, you proved me wrong in the most brilliant way possible. I truly have nothing but love and respect for you and admire that sometimes when you are feeling hopeless, rather than just lay back and let the game happen to you, you happen to the game.

And boy did you happen to this game haha. I think you are going to be your harshest critic, however don't beat yourself up too much. Clearly you were doing things right to be as much of a frontrunner as you were even if you didn't realize fully how you were being perceived until it was too late. Thank you for playing this game and for enriching our lives with more "wtf" moments than pretty much any contestant who played <3
