With Candice's eviction, it was down to the Final 2 - Chanel and Naomi!
This season's unstoppable pair was undeniably - Chanel and Naomi. Despite their close bond, the two played two very different games. Chanel started off under the radar, avoiding any sort of conflict - however she managed to dig deep when both her closest allies were at risk, and found whatever it took to save one of them. This game changing moment was a highlight in Chanel's game, because it led to her continuous competition dominance till the end of the game. Gameplay-wise, Chanel really valued trust, and played this game with her heart. It certainly worked for her, as she managed to get to end without ever being at risk for eviction. Naomi, on the other hand, played a very cutthroat strategic game. Being a target since week 1, Naomi had to make all the right moves at all the right moments, in terms of who to target at what time. And she did extactly that. Her target was getting bigger as her competition prowess was becoming more apparent. She was fearless and driven - and it's what got her to the end. Even though they were outnumbered for the most part of the game, Chanel and Naomi had each other's backs, and succeeded in reaching the Final 2.
At this point, their fate was no longer in their hands, as the power shifted to the Jury.
At the finale, they both presented their final speeches.
Naomi began, “I honestly cannot believe I really did it. I made final 2 with my actual final 2 from DAY 1. This was amazing. My chances to win are slim to none, but I helped Chanel destroy the bigger alliance. We were able to overcome leaving in 9th and 8th once Coco left, to being people to be scared of. We won competitions that saved our lives; Chanel saved my ass twice with POVs that I cannot repay her for. I played both sides in the beginning, I do not regret it, because it got me to Jury. I drew the line in the sand and I really 100% did play with honesty. The biggest lie I told was that Adriana was not a target during the Fast Forward but even then, I was gonna flip the vote last minute to get Tyra out, if everything went according to plan. Chanel and I may have really dug deep and took a lot of the majority alliance out. I cannot beleive we actually did it. I think my game was good, I think I did amazing. I worked my ass off to get here and I have no problem getting in anyones face about how I feel about them. Thank you ALL for an amazing game. Thank you ALL for a really challenging game. Thank you for having me as usual, and thank you to one of my best friends and best allies, Chanel - slay queen! You are my friend for life."
Chanel continued, "I came into this game not really caring as much, and I was just going to float my way until I lost, but things changed as soon as Coco lost, and I won a POV. I saw an opportunity to take the game and change it with just me and Naomi, and I took it. We had to win a hell of a lot of competitions, day in and day out, and the whole thing was really stressful. But if we didn't do it, one of us would have gone. I went from not caring about the game as much - to clawing my way to the top with competition wins, and by making genuine bonds with people that I hope last until after the game. Adriana, Candice - both of you deserved better, and I just wish you were on another season with people who didn't have a strong a bond as me and Naomi had, because you two played amazingly. Naomi, thank you for being a great friend and a great ally and for always telling me I could do it when I felt like I was going to lose. And, thanks for letting me be a part of this, because this game was amazing."
The Jury made their decision after asking their question.
