Hello, dahlings <3 I'm going to keep this pretty short and sweet because I'm sure you'll have a lot of questions to get to.
First of all, you know I love you both dearly as individuals, but I don't love either of the games you all played. Both of your games seem very one dimensional, to me. On one hand, we have Caleb, the competition beast of the season...but that's about as far as I get. I know you emphasized your social game in your opening statements, Cowboy, but at times I found you to be one of the hardest cast members to hold a conversation with. I acknowledge this could very much be on my end as well, but I'm just calling 'em how I see 'em because I can do that because I'm on the jury. Nick, you were probably one of the nicest if not the absolute nicest guy on the cast. But, again, that's about as far as I'm getting with you. Your physical prowess was lackluster, and I didn't see your mind at work when it came to strategy. Again, I acknowledge that I could have been excluded in some of your strategic thought processes, and that's why I may be unaware of that, but again, I'm on jury so I can say what I want.
So, first of all, I want you to prove me wrong. Take what I just said and show me that I'm missing something. Open ears here.
Second, I would like for you to tell me which two jurors you feel deserve to be in the Final 2, and why.
THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU. I LOVE YOU BOTH AND I TRULY CONGRATULATE YOU ON MAKING IT TO THE END! |

Hey Renny!! Ok first off I want to point out that I didn't mention my social game in the sense that I was saying it was perfect. I said it is often something that is a struggle for me. People in these games tend to like having lots of AIM conversations, and that just isn't a possibility for me. So I need to make an impression even if I tend to be one of the more quiet ones in the group. I don't think you can say that we had a hard time chatting when we were actually on at the same time. I feel like you get that sense from me based on the thousands of times that we missed each other.
Yes, I get it. I leave AIM signed on and answer you 3 hours later. Its just the dynamics of my job. I work ALOT. But based on everything that went down in this game, I feel like I was actually able to make connections with people, and I did have a large number of people wanting to work with me.
I was also able to get a lot of different info from different people that I was tight with. I feel like the quiet nature of my game allowed people to think I was their vault. But that wasn't the case. So I was able to make moves based on intel. Like with you for example!! I really grew to like you, and we worked well together. I don't think you can deny that. But as time went on, I saw your jury threat status grow. I also knew that you didn't have my best interest at heart anymore, because you didn't want Steve gone at one point anymore, because you wanted him and I to target each other while others floated by. Not saying you were wrong in doing that!!! It just meant I now saw you in a different light, which led to the round where I planned your eviction.
So to sum it all up, yes I know I suck at talking on AIM. But things would've been a lot different had I literally made no connections. I was nominated once by the polar opposite of me in this game. Also, this game was definitely not the type of game where everyone was constantly online talking. The last chunk of rounds there was literally no game talk going on, so all in all this is just a weird game in a lot of senses.
Thanks so much Renny!! You were by far one of my favs in this game, and getting you out was a very tough eviction for me.
Cheers!!

Hey Renny! Thanks for the kind words. I loved getting to know you in this game and I really hope we'll be friends after!
I totally acknowledge that my competition status was lackluster (however I did end up winning 3 competitions, granted with severely limited competition lol but they're still wins!). I knew being a limited challenge threat could work in my advantage. It made me look like less of a game-threat. For the first half of the game, I was just trying to be as social and likable as I could (it worked with some people better than others) because I did not want to burn myself out. I didn't want to go in hard at the beginning because normally that leads to an early eviction. I stayed in my lane and let others blow up their game. But that doesn't mean I wasn't playing strategically. I kept my mouth closed but my ears open. I had my alliances but I also knew about a good majority of the other alliances that had formed without me, which culminated in the Britney expose. I knew exactly what to say to the right people to get them on my side. After that, the game became a little more open and people's allegiances were more clear.
The round I stayed was the round I was able to implement all the intel I had and I was able to use it to get the numbers to stay and form the #BritneysRejects alliance. Had I not been able to pull that off, I would have more than likely been evicted and this game might have taken a completely different turn. After that, all the people who voted or were against me started to leave one by one. I don't think that was by accident. The round Britney left, I know people were leaning a little more towards Steve to go but I pushed for Britney. I was always very methodical in who I wanted to target. If I wasn't playing strategically, you wouldn't have gone when you did because non-game wise, you were one of my favorite people but I knew you were a big threat.
For part two of your question, my final two from the jury would be you and Steve. Like I said in my opening and just above, mid-game you became the biggest threat. You are likable, so much to the point where you could make a move against someone, and they still love you! and you could win competitions. You were the whole package. and I pick Steve because I really liked the way he was playing the game as well. He was able to win competitions and wasn't afraid to make big moves - such as nominating myself and Caleb (we ended up as the final 2, so this was a great move for him), using the veto on Jace, etc.
Thanks for the questions and good luck with your vote! |

Oops part 2!! Sorry gal.
Much like Nick, I would absolutely have to pick you as one of the 2. That is why I wanted to get you out. It was clear as day that you were a threat at the end of this game. So unfortunately I just have to echo what Nick said here! But that just speaks volumes as to how you played this game.
For the second one, it has to be Jace. If you make it to the F3, in some aspect you absolutely deserve to make it to the end. But as far as I saw it, Jace played a great game. Sure he was a bit overly emotional at times, but that helped him evade nomination the round Britney tried to get me to kamikaze my game. He had good relationships with a lot of people early on, and I know a lot of information was transferred through him.
Sorry again for forgetting this part!! |
