J.T. ThomasI don't really know what to say about J.T. It seemed like he joined the game to just goof off and not even try, and that proved to be destructive to our tribe. It was really a no-brainer that he had to go the first week he did, because we wanted people that really wanted to play and work hard, and J.T. proved to be just the opposite of that.

Judd SergeantJudd was a really nice guy. He was very conversational and was just pleasant to talk to. It was shame the way he left. Half of the people that left in the three eChallenge rounds deserved a higher placing then what they got. I think all of them did amazing jobs in the game and they potential to go far. I know Judd would have been an extremely valuable ally.
~14th Place~
Sydney WheelerI never got to play with Sydney, but I'll tell you this much. It seemed as though Sydney had the right idea about the game. Once she knew that the Hidden Immunity Idol was out there somewhere, she quickly went looking for it, just as I had done. If she had found it, like she almost did according to our last challenge, then she'd be here right now.
~13th Place~
Kathleen SleckmanAw, Kathleen. I didn't speak to her as much as I'd liked. She wasn't a very active member on our tribe, but she was present a good deal. I don't really have much to say about Kathleen, but if she had put alot of heart into this game, she really did have a chance to make it to the F4 doing the exact same thing I'm doing right now: Rites of Passage.

Boston RobI liked Boston Rob. He had a certain trait to him that was valuable during this game. He seemed to be a team player, and was honest about mostly everything he said. I hated voting him off, but I had to stick with Kelly, and we believed that Rob was the one to go, because he would've been a big threat in the individual stage of the game.
~11th Place~
Aaron ReisbergerI never met Aaron, so I don't really have much to say. He did last long in the game and was the last member of the Pre-Jury. Had he gone a little farther, he could have made the Jury and been a deciding vote on who would become the winner. I'd really hate to be in his shoes, just one person away from making the Jury. However, props to him.
~10th Place~
Ashley MassaroI loved and still love Ashley. Ashley
did not, and I repeat,
did not, deserve to leave the game on the account of a stupid eChallenge. She had so much potential to win this game and go far. Like Boston Rob, she was very skilled at challenges, and would have done some serious damage in the later stages of the game had she been able to play.
~9th Place~
Jamie NewtonDo we have to say only nice stuff in the Rites of Passage? Because I didn't like Jamie at all. I have no respect for people who quit a game out of fear for getting voted out. Russell could have left that week, but with Jamie being a baby and quitting out of being upset by Yasmin's prize, he prolonged Russell's stay and caused his torch to be snuffed.
~8th Place~
J.P. CalderonI assume that J.P. didn't play a super good role in his Rangi-alliance just by what his quote was in the last challenge. I had spoken to him once or twice, and he was a nice guy. As much as I hate to mention it here in his area, I think one of the top moves in the game was Russell getting him to change his vote and him getting voted out of the game.
~7th Place~
Sugar KiperI hearted Sugar, just let me say that right now. She was the most bubbly and cutest person on the Papa tribe and she was easy to get along with. It was apparent later on, though, that she didn't really fit the mold that Russell, Kelly, and I had going on, so I wasn't surprised she flipped. I'm just glad we stabbed her in the front, before she stabbed us in the back.
~6th Place~
Charlie HerschelDown-to-earth, genuine, stand-up guy. Charlie was the guy that you just died to work with because he seemed probably the most loyal thing out here on the island. He was a really sweet person, and it sucked to see him leave in the eChallenge. He was my opponent in terms of the game, but he really was a fun person to chat with via PMs.
~5th Place~
Kelly SharbaughUgh. Kelly's voting off is still fresh in my mind and I'm still pissed off about it. Kelly deserved to be in the FTC and the fact that she won't be just angers me even more. I'm no longer just playing for myself, but I'm playing for her too. Her and I made a promise to go far to the end, and I'm still going to keep my side of the promise even if she can't.
