Rip did well here in flying under the radar and covertly teaming up with Knee and Mikey but I think Knee had the tougher path. He was pretty isolated and actually flat-out voted off at one point and stuck with it, eventually finding a way through to the final.
Sure, he’s the reason I didn’t win *coughbastardcough* but that’s the game. He played it right and I can’t fault him for that.
Well done to both.

Knee, you sealed my vote for Rip when you voted me out. In my last ditch effort to stay in the game I honestly and truthyfully explained to you that your only chance of winning this game was to take me to the final and that everyone else besides me would beat you easily. Your response was that you had a better chance to make the final by sticking with Rip. At that point in time it was obvious to me that you were playing for second place and not for the win...
Congrats on the victory that I know is coming for you Rip..

I vote for Rip (to win)
Knee, while I acknowledge that turning against myself, Rev and Matty was the smart move, it nonetheless made you lose my vote. Afterwards when I was on the verge of elimination, in an attempt to sway you back on my side, I told you that if you went to the finals with Rip or Mikey you would lose but if you stuck with me you'd be the favorite since I probably wouldn't get votes from anyone besides Rev and Matty. I still believe that to be true, and think that if you had followed up your one bold move (breaking up us 3) with another one (sticking with me in the final four tribal council) you could have won this thing instead of being the runner up. Of course if I'm wrong about how these final votes will fall then my hat's off to you.
Rip, well played
With that vote, we have a champion and his name is....
Rip
Congrats sir and thanks everyone for playing this hectic game this year. I know this wasn't the perfect game, but thanks for surviving with me!
