Hey Abi! Hope all is well with you!

I do want to take the time to apologize in our lack of communication. I have criticized people for not being active in conversations on the real show, and here I go doing the same thing. I don’t have much of an excuse other than it just flat out being my fault, and I’ll take ownership of that.

This question is really interesting, because I never really thought that I was necessarily telling people what they want to hear. But, in going back and rereading through my conversations with some folks, I do believe you’re right that I told people what they wanted to hear at those respective times.

I would consider myself to be a chameleon; I adapt to my surroundings based on who I am around. That was no different in this game. I think at many points, my strategy was to sympathize with houseguests on an emotional level, not to emotionally manipulate them into doing what I wanted persay, but moreso to find commonalities and build trust. I believed that me having a good relationship with everyone and people having trust in me meant that I had some room to play around with to make underhanded moves to better my own game, although others believed I was bettering their own games.

So yes, it might have been annoying for some to hear me regurgitate the same viewpoints (even if I might have shared the same sentiments) but it was important for me to do from a game standpoint in order to build trust and have some buoyancy to float around as I pleased. I’m sorry if I hurt yours or anyone else’s feelings because I know that obviously no one wants to be lied to or misled and I will own any discomfort I made anyone feel by doing so.
