Hey guys!
First off I would like to start by thanking Julie for hosting a great game, to thank every single player for playing as they were all part of me making it this far. Because believe it or not everyone in the game had a part of me making it here, either by being an ally, a step in the ladder I had to climb to get to the very top [Final 2] or simply a burden I had to get rid of to achieve my goal. Finally I want to thank Jen and wish her the best of luck... without you I wouldn't be here, you are an amazing friend and a great ally and I thank you for going through this with me.
So, comming into this game I knew Jen and Diane, I also knew Jeff but he didn't knew who I was so that doesn't count, I had seen other people on other games but I had never had a conversation with them therefor it didn't count.
At the very begining of the game I wanted to play the spoiled bitch card, why? Easy, when people view you as someone opinionated, out-spoken and who is annoying they want to align with you, they want to make it further with you because they know the target would be bigger on you. This is why I also played a very strong social game, because I knew my whole attitude would put a target on my back so by creative truth social bonds I would be able to avoid the target. And it worked! I was not on the block until Final 4 and that was because Casey viewed me as his biggest threat.
Did I win competitions? No, but a very wise player once told me... "A good player can survive without the need of immunity" that was in Survivor, so I guess for BB it's POV and HOH and that holds true to me. I made it far without needing to win a competition, I had a Final 2 with [probably] the strongest competition player in the game and that helped me out a lot as I knew if I went into the block she would fight for Veto and take me out of the block.
I knew comming into the game I sucked at competitions, I always have and probably always will, but I always gave it my all, however I balanced this out with a strong social game and a very strategic gameplay.
I could say a lot more but for now I'll leave it here since I'm sure half the people here won't even bother to read through my whole ramble.
