Well I just got booted off and I'm a little bummed of course. I guess I felt vulnerable anyway, but deep in my mind I was like, they're not going to vote me off. I've proven I'm a crucial part of the team, but those are the breaks. I feel kind of sad, but I think it's a win-win situation.
I think I won in just getting here. There were over six thousand applicants, they chose sixteen people and I was one of them. I believe nothing happens by chance and God ordains everything. I think I was here for a reason. I don't know. Maybe I taught somebody something, or somebody learned something from me, or I learned something from somebody else, so I can't be mad.
I got a trip to a country I've never been to before. I've seen some of the most beautiful sunsets of my life. I've seen a phenomenon that I don't think I could see anywhere else in the world. I really feel extremely blessed. That doesn't discount the fact, that yes, I'd like to stick it out until the end. But I think I did pretty good for a city girl, totally out of her element in the jungles of Borneo. I'm not too bummed.
I just want to say I have no hard feelings whatsoever towards my team. Pagong forever man! I hope you guys kick butt. I hope someone on the team wins this whole thing. Maybe I'll find out the reasons people voted me off, later down the road.
I think the first two days I was sick really hurt me, those first two days were crucial in forming relationships. I really didn't get a chance to do that because I was so sick. Those are the breaks. Everything happens for a reason, so I'm not mad.
