Heyo, this is entirely based off of my own perception of your game so sorry if some of it is incorrect!!!

Strengths:

• Social game - everyone's acknowledged this pretty much but you rebounded from being evicted extremely well by getting in everyone's good graces just from being easy to talk to.

• Positioning - you were very well set up and protected, you had allies in every corner of the house and people wanted to go far with you.

• Longevity - what I mean by this is, a lot of people wanted to take you to the end. In fact, I heavily considered going to final 2 with you for a long time, unfortunately when you were nommed it was against my closest ally but had that been anyone else, I could honestly see you surviving and making it to the end. You had a lot of longevity in your game and I think in a lot of seasons, you'd make it to the end.

• Personality - I guess this is similar to social game but I know we've spoken about this before in like 2016 maybe, maybe I spoke to Tyler about it idk but you and Tyler both can get by in orgs quite easily on your personality alone.

• I couldn't think of a word for this but when you returned to the game, you returned with a completely clean slate. No one thought you were bitter or anything which definitely made your reinsertion into the house extremely smooth and helped you slide back under the radar.

Weaknesses:

• Dedication - I think that with a bit more dedication to the game, you could've made it further. You were nominated against to Conor who'd worked really hard to make sure he was set up well and I think that didn't help you on the block, but you could make it far without huge amounts of dedication because of your personality.

• Positioning - although I put this as a positive, I agree with Nick that to some extent it was obvious where your loyalties lay, especially after JADC got exposed.

Why you should give me your vote:

I played better and it's fitting for our respective org journies (hence why I'll be using a Rome metaphor). Nick is the Ricky and I'm the Dom, like it almost fits perfectly. Nick returned like Ricky, won more comps and played quite flashily. However, I do believe he played worse than his counterpart, me/you. For example, in Rome you had the idols, here I had the MVP and DPOV.

On top of that I did just play better than Nick. Nick's mentioned that I wouldn't be sitting here without my power but there's 0 proof to that, every HoH has said I would not have been nommed had I not had the power. But, let's say that he is right and I wouldn't, that just means I used a power given to me extremely effectively and worked it to its best ability - I was selfish with it but I did what I had to do to make it far, and if I was voting for a winner, I would respect that massively. I remained unnominated until the final 4, it was me who dictated the general path of the season and set the tone of the season. Nick was on jury and made it his mission returning to get rid of me, and yet I was never even nominated until rounds after he returned, despite the fact he had an HoH win AND at that point I didn't have the DPOV. I managed to turn around someone who entered the game guns blazing to get me out, and make them loyal to me to the point that I could nominate their closest ally and they weren't even considering nominating me, in only 1 round. I made huge moves that risked angering many people, the DPOV and 2 vetoes in the last few rounds being examples, but I always did sufficient damage control so that these people remained loyal to me, which they did. Those who didn't, or those who were thinking of turning on me like Ali or Alex, got eliminated before they could turn on me because I spotted that they'd do that. And you saw with JADC how I tried hard to get myself set up well on every side of the house. I believe in my heart I deserve to win this season and I really hope it happens, and that's why I believe I deserve your vote.

Also I just remembered that Tyler tagged me in something a couple of months ago and it was about how if I'm active in games, I'm a force to be reckoned with. This is the first 703 game I've put my heart and soul into. In Canada and Antarctica I played well, but it was ruined by the fact I wasn't fully invested, and the same with 703 BB2. This season I really did work extremely hard, even when drunk I was putting in effort to push me towards a victory and I suppose it'd just be a very good story for my journey on 703 specifically.
