hey natalia!

i definitely didnt play perfectly strategically, cause if i did then i wouldnt have had to win out to get myself here. However, i do believe most of that was because of the fact that i was the only one of my "side" winning HoH's and POV's, the rest were people like maya, natalia, bryce etc, so naturally with me winning POV's, that would just send my allies home instead. So I don't entirely think it was because of strategic mistakes, more so the unlucky factor that plays into the competition fact of BB where your "side" isn't the one winning challenges, therefore sending allies home each week. I did care about carrying the biggest threat target, it's never something I want to carry because then it just makes my job of getting to the end that much harder, however, after I became house target numero uno after the Brad round, that week is what completely set off my game, and I knew i was gonna HAVE to win challenges to stay alive, so at that point, it didn't matter to me if i had a target or not, it was never gonna go away. the only time i tried to mitigate that target onto someone else, was when you mentioned that you thought szymon was playing the best game, so i was doing everything i could to agree with you that yes he is, he should go over me etc to try and relieve me of some target stress (which let's be real, didnt even work to begin with cause i would've gone home had i not won the last 2 pov's and final hoh) but at least i tried!

backdooring bradley was EASILY the riskiest play of mine this season, without question. i knew with everything that happened that week because of pandora's box and yoni winning veto, and me being forced to send home one of my 4 closest allies left (brad, szymon, quintin and abi) that i was gonna be a MASSIVE target regardless of what i did, because every single one of my possible targets were immune. regardless of who i decided to backdoor, with how that week panned out because of that stupid box, i was gonna have to fight to stay in this game. so my decision ultimately came down to a decision between backdooring brad, or szymon. i decided to take brad out over szymon because i knew had i kept brad, us 2 would've been the top 2 targets of everyone in the game, and if he didn't win hoh, he was far more likely to beat me in pov, leaving me as a sitting duck. whereas if i saved szymon, i was going on a limb and praying that with his relationships with my now enemies, there would be a chance i could get something going through him, so thats why i ultimately decided to send out brad over szy, because i was hoping i could try and lighten the load of my target size by keeping a member of the "other side", but also take out a challenge beast that could've left me stranded alone on the block during the following weeks, if that makes any sense?

and as for the final question, i think you know this, but ive actually never seen BB, so i have NO idea of who to compare anyone too, since idk anyone thats played, im so sorry :(

if you have anymore questions, please let me know!
