Excella my girl! What a crazy, upside down run you've had this game. I am so glad that you're still here. My #2 contender pick on round 1 is still here, showed up, and is still my #2 contender pick now.
You had a number of ups and downs, and all they've done is make you stronger and showcase the game that you wanted to play. You have such a great story, and I'm interested to see your FTC case.
Your confessional content was top notch as well. Interesting and informative!

Excella, you've been a breath of fresh air in this game and I'm completely thrilled to see you make it this far. I worry that there's no chance you survive F4 without immunity and sadly there was only one Steve in this game, but fingers crossed you pull it out.
While you haven't been the most frequent confessionalizer (not a slight, Sheva just wins that award running away), those you've offered have been incredibly insightful both into the game and into your thought process at every step of the way. You've got a great mind for this game and a terrific attitude towards it, it's just been a joy to see your thoughts on every situation in the game and it's genuinely made me reorient my thoughts on the game as a player. Best of luck, you've got a lot of people rooting for you, and I really hope to see you play again regardless of the outcome of this game.

"Breath of fresh air" is precisely the wording I was going to use. I think Iron Maiden opened that torchwalk with the perfect phrasing. You have been honestly one of my favorite people I have ever hosted in a game. You are engaged, interactive with my questions, and you quite literally leave no stone unturned. I have a picture perfect idea of how you play, what you are thinking, and how you adapt to the situations presented to you. You started off a little shaky after it felt like you were letting the game happen to you, but your vote out on Tribe Daniela and the subsequent reflection of who you are as a player and adaptation to the situation is EXACTLY the reason I designed this Outcast twist.
You learned. You didn't just learn, you freaking slayed. I don't think there has been a round since you were Outcast that you ever turned off the switch. You have expertly played your way to this point in a way that I think a number of people could only dream to do. Did you get a lucky break at final 5 when Steve quite literally handed his game to you? I mean sure, but part of Survivor is luck. I have always been a staunch believer in the 1/3rd Social, 1/3rd Strategic, 1/3rd Lucky and you've literally had the entire package this game. You are lucky the twist gave you new life in this game, you are lucky you were immune at final 5, and you were lucky that letting Morpheus go round 1 didn't ever fully affect you. However you slayed the other 2/3rd of what I believe a complete Survivor Experience (tm) to be. You socialed and you strategized the hell out of this game and it was so damn fun to watch.
People of MS, if you read this, please look at Excella's confessional post game as the poster child for how to confessionalize well if you want people who are spectating to have a crystal clear idea of what it is you are doing and thinking. You shouldn't emulate it exactly, but I think you will see what we saw and why if I was doing awards this game, "best confessional" would hands down go to Excella's Excella-nt Reports.
Bravo. No matter how this final 4 turns out. Brilliant game, I will sing your praises for the rest of time I exist on MS.
