Why do you deserve a last chance?(this should be your longest answer):
I remember when Carl first messaged me and asked me to play in Africa. I was very new to Tengaged, had little to no group game experience, and was going through a lot in real life. I was a major part of the pre-merge storyarch, but after we merged I found myself swamped in real-life obligations and could not focus on the game, likely contributing to my alliance's inability to escape from the minority position. When the eventual winner of the season, Alan, warned me about me impending elimination, I kicked it back into high-gear and tried to save myself. Unfortunately, my wakeup call came too late for any serious changes to be made and I was voted out at eighth place.
I was lucky enough to have Carl see my original potential and ask me back for Heroes vs. Villains, where I was placed on the Villains tribe. Right off the bat, I tried playing a hundred miles a minute. I was talking to everyone, trying to make big moves, and even played a huge part in the opposing tribe's elimination when I was sent over there to possess someone. I think that my urge to play an extremely loud, volatile, and fast-paced game was to make up for my performance in Africa. I wanted to show Carl that he was right about me, that I had what it took to be a good villain and an admirable player. Unfortunately, due to both my lingering unfamiliarity with Tengaged (which showed in my nonexistant relationships with anyone in the cast outside of my original season) and my aggressive nature, I was blindsided prematurely.
I didn't think that I would ever get a chance to play in Carl's series again, but here I am, almost a year later, more ready to play than ever before. I have matured so much since I last competed; I honestly believe that I am a completely different person. I deserve one last chance to prove myself because I not only recognize but understand the mistakes I made in the past. I played as a child in my first two seasons, and I am now a young adult. I understand the social, strategic, and physical aspects of the game more now than I ever could have a year ago. I know how to balance making big moves with laying low; I know now that making honest friendships and alliances gives you skills that transcend the concept of the game. I have learned that people are not just chess pieces that I can sacrifice and dispose of whenever I want and that you cannot win this game alone. I feel that now, with my newfound maturity and understanding of both the game and other people, is the perfect time for me to return. I deserve a last chance because I have an unfinished story that I need to conclude. I deserve a last chance because I am more equipped to win than ever before. I deserve a last chance because I believe that this is my time. No, I KNOW that this is my time.
