WELL! Seeing that using Little Mix gifs is out of the equation, time to pull out my Hozier gifs then huh?

Anyway, thanks Jayme for the positivity and concern. I do realize that now, in my speech that I seldomly talked about my strategy in my game and I just rehashed this game through my eyes. So let me talk about the angle in which I played this season.

I came into every and all new ORG game with an open heart and open mind. I know I stated in my speech is that I have played with a majority of this cast in a previous game- and one of my biggest points in my mind is to make sure that I downplay any relationship I had with people, so that when it comes to picking between two people who I consider friends for eviction, I can separate the game from personal relationships.

Another aspect of my game is just talking with individuals. Alliances aside and everything. I try to talk with everyone at least every day, asking them how their day was going and what not- and when it comes to wanting to talk game, I made sure I had a straightforward approach. I don't know if that actually worked out or not in my favor, but I made sure that people knew that I was playing with them and not just here for the ride. This strategy worked out for me especially with my HoH and how I wanted to make sure that the reactions from Shay/Chari were genuine to make sure that Ci'ere wasn't aware of his impending backdoor. Or with how Week 3 ended with your HoH and wanting to put Tyler up when we had the EarthxFire alliance. It also appeared in Week 5 when asked who Roisin should put up and who Tymeka should put up. Or making sure that George was comfortable before his eventual backdoor and help persuade Augusto to keep Jack over Alissa in Week 6.

So the competition wins and great performances in certain comps, they were nice and such- but playing this game socially and strategically were my two biggest assets. Notice how I was the last person to be put up on the block? Like it took everyone 8 weeks to realize that I was never on the block. It also took the house until the double eviction that I've never been a final nominee to face getting the votes for eviction AND I'm the only person in this game (that didn't walk) that has 0 eviction votes. SO if that doesn't say something or is worth any value then, idk what is.

But yes, all in all- I did fail to highlight this in my original speech and I don't know if I am going to pay for it. I do know that it has been a pleasure playing with you again and thank you for making me realize that my speech did not have a clear-cut strategy placed in it.
