Hey gurl hey!

Thank you for the statement of congratulations! But yes, time to get down to business.

Moves that I made that kept me safe: - Winning Week 2 HoH - Making sure that Tyler/Jack/Lachlan didn't nominate me in Weeks 1, 4, and 6. - Winning Week 8 PoV

While two of those points are competition wins, I made sure that when others won the HoH when a Fire team did not (like Jayme did in Week 3 & You/Roisin did in Week 5), I made sure that I downplayed my presence in the game and really hype up other targets [i.e. making sure that everyone guns for Lachie or telling how Roisin/Jayme are good physically and socially] so that should that ever come to pass- these people are first priority when selecting nominations.

Moves that I made that kept Fire safe: - Influencing Lachlan to make Tyler/Alissa nominees Week 6 - Making sure that Shay left over you Week 4.

These two are I think the most important (if not the only things) that I did to keep Fire safe because we all (You/Me/Jayme/Roisin) had a hand in protecting each other since we did 2 HoHs while the teams were in play and 2 HoHs that sealed us as an alliance of 4 after the teams twist was over. So when you were the first official Fire to be put up in Week 4, it was a no brainer for me to keep you (despite what Roisin told us and having Jayme want you out). That was a done deal. And when Lachlan won HoH in Week 6, I did help him get that power because I did sabotage Tyler so that Lachlan got the edge over him.

(For those that didn't know Lachlan and Tyler were like tied round for round in the "Catch The Diamond" HoH comp, and when the rule was changed to 'only 2 people can claim the diamond', I told Jayme that I wanted to fuck around and end this silly tie by trying to steal one of the two spots from Tyler and hoping that Lachlan can get the other- granted it worked).

As for why I should be crowned the winner of Big Brother 8 is... I put my blood, sweat and tears into this game, and I never strayed away from what I wanted. Granted, I never imagined to be sitting in this position (cause I was so sure I would be pre-jury) until late game. I set goals for myself. Once I achieved one, I regrouped and envisioned a bigger and better one. I wanted to show to myself that I am not a flop that everyone labels me to be. I wanted to show to myself that these games will demand everything out of me, and I made sure that I connected with people to the best of my abilities every day, (if not every other day). I made sure that I was that personable person that anyone can come to me with, whether it be game, personal or both. I made myself readily available to talk and despite what people say about my activity- I put in the damn hours to make sure that I can keep with the paces of everyone else. Even in competitions, I gave them everything I got. I won some and others I made it in the Top 2 or Top 3. I made sure that in this season that I can prove to anyone that doubts my ability to play ORGs is not a fluke and you're damn right that making this large wall of text- that I busted my ass to make sure that all of these things were met to some standard. That's why I should win this game.

Whew. That was intense. But I hope that I answered your two questions to your liking. If you need more clarification on anything, please let me know!
