Hey what's up hello! I've missed talking to quite a few of you so I'm just going to get right into this and highlight key moments in my game and await to answer any questions about my game that any of you want me to clear up!

Coming into this game I wanted to play hard since day 1. Which means more to me than just winning all the competitions that I did. I wanted to build strong social connection. Day 1 and 2, before the first HoH results were even posted, I messaged every single person in this game. All 13 other players. I talked to people as little as "how's your day" to indepth conversations about the game and what their past with other players were. I wanted to clear any bad blood with people and give the new faces I haven't met yet not a reason to nominate me incase any of y'all eventually were to win HoH.

As confident as I was in my ability to win competitions, I didn't want to just rely on them. I always had a back up plan, such as not relying on myself to win Final HoH and taking Nick, someone I percieved as a jury threat, to the F3 hoping I'd have another batter playing to take me to the end. Or all the fighting with Jaylen that I did, as much as I wanted to say it was planned, it wasn't, but I saw an oppurtunity to make my negative experience a positve and to go public with my "hatred" for him and remind everyone that Jaylen is in Will's pocket and not mine, that way if my long-time ally and I were on the block together, people would help save me over Will. I did my best to make Will look like a bigger threat with the Jaylen thing but aswell as throwing 1 or 2 competitions to him (such as his first HoH and the next two vetos) and telling people how bad he's beaten me in competitions.

Although we faced confrontation multiple times throughout the game, I in no means hate Jaylen. I dont harbour any negative feelings towards anyone in this game, In fact I would like to think I befriended many of you. This surprised me as I didn't expect to genuinely like this many people in game

Another thing about my game is that I used my first HoH to gain knowledge and see what a few people wanted me to do. People in Big Brother think it's not smart to win first HoH, which I do believe that in the real BB, but in an online version where past people know each other and I knew there were strong personalities, such as Chris, that'd I'd clash with, I could target them as I used HoH to build stronger connections with others, like Tom, Will and Andy. For the next few weeks I sat back, even acted clueless to a few people about nomination plans or peoples alliances, and people percieved Tom as a bigger threat on my "side" after the Rihannon vote, and I'm so thankful people percieved Tom as that, especially Hannah, because she targetted him and Hannah and I could bond a little bit more. When Hannah was HoH I was prepared to give a push if necssary to target the Tom/Will duo and not myself because I needed to look after myself. But she made that big move and big descision on her own and I am thankful for that.

I do really hope none of you percieve me as Will's goat for taking him to the end, infact I hope you think I did more for him than he ever did for me. We had an obvious partnership since early in the game, and I did get a lot of blood on my own hands which I was completely willing to do. I'm a believer that to have a good resume to win you need to get some blood on your hands. I evicted Will's ally, Jaylen in F4, knowing Will and Jaylen would want each other in F2, because looking in real Big Brother and last seasons Final Part 3 is that Final HoH could be a total crapshoot and I didn't want to put my whole game gambling the 1/3 chance I had to take myself to the end. (For the record I would have loved to take Jaylen to F2 but I wanted to have Nick possibly take me to the finals and possibly force Will's hand in taking me if he won by playing up that Nick was a threat)

The only thing I have left to say before y'alls questions are unleashed on us is that I publically want to apologize to Ali. What went down was Eddie wanted Jaylen out and Will wanted you out, and obviously I was closer with you, but ultimately I made that descision to send you to jury. Throughout the whole game I never 100% knew where you would align, you seemed like a free agent, and especially with someone ratting out the Nick/Eddie/Will & I's alliance to you I knew people were trying to get you on their side. But I knew to a large extent we were good allies and good friends, I saw strategically that if I could get Eddie to vote for Jaylen, Jaylen might be more mad at Eddie and I could advance further. Also with Hannah and Andy leaving back to back publically saying they'd vote for me to win, I knew you were a bigger game player than you let on and you had more of a perception of what was going on in the game than Jaylen and could win a competition based off that stuff and you might take a shot at me. Whether or not that's true it doesn't disregard what I did, I should have at least warned you and talked to you and I didn't and I'm sorry.

If I genuienly hurt any of y'alls feelings I am sorry and I'm eager to hear and talk about it. :)
