Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've talked to some of you. I am very happy to have made the Final 3, as would anyone. I felt like when I came into this game I had no idea what to expect. Early on I kind of got labeled with the stigma of being a threat by winning the first two vetoes, followed by an HOH and then a secret power. While Big Brother is about winning competitions it is obviously more than that. It's about working with the right people at the right time and at the very least keeping yourself off of the block by any means necessary. After I got nominated by April in Week 2 I realized that I just had to commit to what was best for me at all times. I won the veto and then made it my top priority to evict her the next round and did.
Early on in the game I made some crucial alliances that I felt helped get me to where I needed to be. First I made an alliance with Lisa and Erika (Didn't we all? Haha), I honestly enjoyed talking with them the most at the time and I felt like we three had a very good grasp on where everyone elses' heads were at. I also had my closest ally in Danielle, something I wanted to keep under the radar until later on in the game if possible. It was my goal to see us both make it here and I am so happy we did.
At times I will admit that I kind of went way under the radar during the game. I felt like I honesty needed to because being a challenge threat as well as a social threat would have been my kiss of death. So I would just kind of not really be as active once I had secured my place in the game for that round with the HOH.
Once we reached the Phantasm twist I thought it was best to use my power just based on the high likelihood of me getting nominated. Eliminating Boogie for me was the best move, I already had an alliance with Lisa/Erika/Danielle and I felt stronger connects to Carol/Karen/Andrew than I did with Mike. When Lisa left I was shocked, clearly I was left out of the loop and at that point I had to take a re-look at my game. It was then that Danielle and a few others informed me that I was along with Marvin the most likely to be nominated. With that knowledge the three of us formed an alliance. Together we were able to eliminate the last four members of the jury. All people who I saw as threats to win. As the game got deeper it seemed like people were becoming bigger threats and Karen someone who I think many overlooked was only a competition away from very well winning this game. I also used anything I could to keep me off the block like telling Karen in the Final 5 that if she nominated me my power would be used on her, which was actually a lie. Had Carol won HOH and nominated me the power would have been activated, but I was able to convince Karen otherwise thus getting Danielle the veto and keeping my alliance alive.
I never lost focus in this game though. I knew that I wanted to get here with Danielle the entire time. I stayed strong, I avoided being a final nominee every round and I did everything in my power to keep my life in this game alive.
So with that... I look forward to hearing your questions and/or statements. I actually tried to play as honestly as I could. However I did lie during the course of the game but I don't think I did so in vain. Good luck to the other two finalists! May the best houseguest win!
