Hey TG! You helped me make the finals, amazing! I'll tell you how I tried to earn your vote to win :)
My gameplay: I was targeted Day 1 but I pushed back with my own nom set, the mutual #1 friends in the game. I was able to get the house to go that route & so began my slaying of the Stars house. I was in the know of every set being pitched & I navigated my relationships to stay safe until F7 when I was algo nominated because Johnny decided to stop working with me because I got the Fire/Vini set through, causing a 4-4-4-4 nomination outcome. However, I remained safe and in a great position until the F5 when Donny and Zach decided to keep Erik safe for reasons unknown to me. I played fluidly & I nominated people however I saw strategically fit to get me to the end while doing whatever I could almost the entire game to keep my two closest allies Nathan and Zach from being nominated.
My social abilities: Other than Johnny’s blind followers that didn’t talk to anyone else or actually play the game, I worked on connecting with the entire cast. I made friendships that I hope remain intact & kept myself off almost all target lists for a long time. I wasn’t on the outs ‘til F5 & the same can’t be said for anyone else. I had to work with emotional players & navigate my inherent outsider status as the only girl & the noob of the house.
Erik’s BS: Erik’s game is fine for someone who was on the outs for approximately half the game. Personally I wouldn’t rate his game higher than fine but that’s your choice to make. I do, however, implore you to not believe his exaggerations that he had a superior game. He only got me on the block at 7 by getting lucky with algo, he was unable to get a majority until 5. Erik wanted me to volunteer for 4th but wouldn’t volunteer himself & was too uncomfortable to be nominated against me. Other than his unnecessary public pandering for support, Erik attempted to hurt my game by accusing me of racism for pointing out he had brazilian support - after he was bragging about it. My point was to say having the support of a community doesn’t count as gameplay (because he had just blogged claiming he had superior gameplay and was the only one working hard - which is just completely disrespectful & false) and he used that to try to twist my words & manipulate the public yet again.
F4: I was shocked to not see myself go up with Erik, as I think that would have been the smart move for the house.
In Summary: I played my heart out Tengaged! I gave this game my all and I hope I earned your vote to win Stars 611. Every move I made was strategic, every relationship I built was genuine, and I’m so honored to have received your love and support during this game. Thank you all so much :) https://tengaged.com/poll/bigbrother-game-207389
I don’t know you but damn it sounds like you played a fantastic game socially and strategically. It’s so cool seeing that from someone relatively unknown and who’s never played stars before. I voted you. 💖
