The General has been so much fun since he was voted off. He was a decent player in the game, borderline UTR, but he's so likable that I wonder what would have happened later in the game. My advice to General going forward is to go with his gut more and not be too afraid to make a move and dictate his own fate in the game. That being said, his foreign accent showed through, but his english was incredible, better than probably 60% of the people in this game. I'm glad he had the experience and I'm glad we got to experience him in Stranded. I look forward to him lurking in the future!!!

In Survivor (and Stranded :P ) schemey players are ten-a-penny. It is a rare player indeed who is just genuinely upfront and loyal with no ulterior motive. When they do come around they are usually clueless in the mix, which is far from the case here. General was always aware of how high or low on the totem he was and who he should be leveraging to climb up a spot or two.
You should know General, that the reason NuTamanaco eventually settled on you as the boot was mostly idols (thinking Sean and Vee would save themself or each other first), partly your strength in challenges (NuTaco were determined to throw), and partly because you were just too damn nice and lovable (you stood the best chance of infiltrating them). So really you got booted for being too nice, too social, and too strong in challenges. This happens all the time post-merge when threats are targeted, but for it to happen still in tribes was madness. You should also know that Lex genuinely did do everything in his power to ensure you weren't the boot - the only thing left he coulda done was flip on his entire alliance and tank his own game. Which speaks volumes for how good an impression you are able to make in minutes.

I STILL can't believe that English isn't the General's first language! I was really worried that he would struggle with the language barrier, but he shattered my expectations for sure! Like Brenda pointed out in her writeup, it was just a whole bunch of really unfortunate circumstances that caused the General to be eliminated, but sadly, this happens all the time, and it has to happen to someone, and in the scope of this game, it made complete sense that it was the General. On top of all this though, General was such a great lurker, and so much fun to have around! I've seen jurors much worse than him, so it was definitely a pleasure to have him around!

I'm not going to hate you for forgetting me in your hosts fallen comrades. Unfortunately you were one of the typical swapped player in minority side gets picked off. I appreciate that you stuck around and watching things go on from the lurkers area. I hope you enjoyed your time both in and out of the game, I know we've all tried to make this experience as enjoyable as possible for all the players and seeing guys like you stick around makes it worthwhile.
) but seriously, every game needs a Frank, too. Frank made the PERFECT pre-merge villain. It seems like every season there's a player like Frank who goes out right before the merge, and as far as that niche goes, Frank is near the top.
