I can’t believe that I am crowned the winner. I am so thankful, you guys have no idea.
For some reason this game meant so much to me. It wasn’t just a game, like Edge had
already mentioned in his comments, it was something else. I was so passionate about it
and had the best time of my ATRL life. It was the first major competition on ATRL that I
signed up for. Little did I know that I would stand in the finale and even win.
When I scrolled down and down I kept whispering: please be me, please be me, please
be me. I definitely served that Harry Potter realness.
Now coming to Scene. Being in the final two with you scared me so much. We were
basically neck and neck and that’s what worried me. I didn’t know what to think any-
more. It could have been either one’s game and I’m glad that it was you who I shared
this finale with. Thank you for not making it easy.
Kittren, you were always nice to me. I always felt that special connection to you for
some reason. And usually, without even looking at past cycles entries, I shared
similar ideas with you. That was very strange to me but that also gave me hope.
Thank you for helping me during my meltdowns. You are one of the reasons why I
stand here and eventually won.
Katie, when this game started I didn’t immediately have a bond with you. But a few
weeks in I started having conversations with you and then it just clicked. When you
told me that the lowest you placed me was 4th I was baffled and positively surprised
because I always had a feeling that you didn’t like me.

It was always fun
talking to you and your humor stands out. Thanks for your help, too.
Edge, my navy brother.

I always thought you gave very good criticism. Your
comments were very clear and helped me to evolve. That one on one with you via
PM was also a big help and I thank you for that.
Jeremy, you were a great friend. And even though I know you wanted Scene to
win (the votes were visible, sis

)
I am thankful because I remember you helped me during my episode 4 meltdown.
I genuinely like you as a person and think you are hilarious. We could be great friends.
Matty, you are the main reason that I felt hyped during this entire cycle. You hosted
this so well and you never failed at making it exciting and nerve-wracking.

I think right from the beginning we quickly built a relationship and it felt natural. You
helped me during my biggest meltdown (episode 7 or 8 I believe

). That PM
session made me realize that I actually do have a chance and I felt very honored
that you tried to hinder me from quitting. Thanks a lot. Really I mean it from the
bottom of my heart.
To all the contestants: Thanks it was a very fun time. Remember will always be
special to me and if you keep coming for him I will cut you.
To everyone else: JOIN THIS GAME WHEN YOU CAN! Yes, it has been an
emotional ride but trust me it’s worth it. I didn’t have the thickest skin coming into
this competition but I have gotten one towards the end. You won’t regret it.
