Final Words

“	I played this game to the best of my ability. I gave it 110 percent every single day I was out here. For all those kids out there who think their situation is hopeless, remember to never stop dreaming, never stop fighting. You can and will amaze yourself. I think the six remaining members are living in a dream world if they think they won't have to backstab each other. Things are going to get very ugly.	”
