Oh hey jury!
Its been 3 long months since this game started, and I honestly needed to re-read my entire DR to make sure I remember everything correctly! Do you guys remember Laura?! The first HOH?? HA!
Coming into this game, I wanted to focus on 1 thing. Social game. I typically don't have a ton of time to sit around on AIM and chat with people, so the conversations I actually get to have need to be quality. I told myself I wasn't going to be part of any large group alliances, but I was going to be close with nearly the entire house. And I started that off well. I made a lot of close bonds, and one of them is sitting here in the F2 with me. The other really close bond I had was.......Britney!!! Sure sure laugh it up. You all fell victim to her as well! You can basically break this game up into BB and AB. And I had strong showings during both.
In the first few rounds of the game, I knew I was going to become a challenge threat. Yea there were a few challenges that I threw, but for the most part I went balls to the wall. That impression started early, so I needed to own it. And I now sit here with 5 HOH wins, and 2 veto wins. I won veto the only time I was nominated, and due to my wins, I controlled a good portion of this game. Even when Britney tried to control my HOH and send my game into chaos, I took the time to think through all she was saying, and I chose not to act on it. When she left she mentioned she was using my wins for her benefit, but if you look back on it, that didn't REALLY happen. I made my own choices that would help MY game.
I was an integral part in getting Britney out of this game. The round that switch happened, Nick was supposed to leave. The last person I wanted leaving this game. So I started rallying the troops to get Angie out in a blindside. Huge credit goes out to Casey, Renny, and Jace for this as well. Had we not done that, this game would've been so different. I had had my doubts about Britney for a long time, and we all finally started talking.
From there, I had a lot of people still wanting to work with me. Our 5 wanted to stick together, I was super tight with Nick, super tight with Jace, Victoria came back and I had a great relationship with her. I was probably the only one, but still, I trusted her to help get me far. I knew Renny was the biggest threat to win so I orchestrated the round to get her out. I was a large threat in this game, and I managed to make it to the end. I am damn proud of my game.
I'm going to leave it at that. Im sure many expected very brief Opening Statements since, well, you know. But I made Final 2!! So I am speaking my mind. I hope you read this all, and I hope that you throw your best questions at me to test if I actually deserve to win! Thanks jury, y'all are so much cooler than Julie.
