I've never made Day 7 before and I am so proud how well I played so I decided to do tributes.....but apparently I talk to much and it is too much text to post in the chat so here it is
13th - dustin24688642: You were first HoH and that made me really nervous because I tried messaging you a couple of times and you never responded. I thought I was going up (like I thought most of us did) until we all finally worked out you were just extremely inactive. You deserved 13th to be honest.
12th - consigliere8886: Pretty much the exact same as Dustinonly you did make a small effort to talk to people. Unfortunately for you it wasn't enough to escape algo. You were very nice the few times we did speak.
11th - Lavaworks: I'm pretty sure you talked a bit to me, and the only reason I voted for you was because you were Eric's nom and I wanted to keep less active players so I had both a better chance at HOH (which I ended up winning) and less of a chance of being an algo nominee. Hope to see you again
10th - SurvivoroftheTocans: I remember being very relieved when Eric nominated you. You were very shady to me. I'm not sure if it was because you didnt really care all that much for thisgame, but when I send you a paragraph of game talk and you simply reply with "cool", I do get bad vibes, and that is why I wasn't too sad to see you go.
9th - Spicoli: My Day 1, number 1! Unfortunately for you I wasn't your number 1. I quickly realised I was the bottom of our "final 4" alliance pretty quickly, but it wasn't until I spoke to Ninja that I realised you shouldn't be my number 1 ally, rather a number 1 target. When I found out Ninja was in the exact same alliance as me minus me plus Ninja I was livid. I relaised my allegiance to you was taking me no where so me and Ninja decided to team up as a dynamic duo and play you three, better than you three could play us. Nominating you and Eric was an easy choice, simply due to Tucker being a sure bet for algo nom. You can say it was too early for a move but that is rubbish. One of you would have easily got the next HOH and you would have rode that power to Day 7. Instead, I took that power away from you and kept it for myself and Ninja. That all said you played a VERY good game despite only getting 9th. Had me and Ninja worked out your game 12 hours later then we did then chances are I wouldn't have targetted you and you would be where I am now.
8th - Tucker_David: I definitely enjoyed working with you, but I couldn't turn on Spicoli and Eric without turning on you as well. In all honesty, I viewed you as a number for Eric and Spicoli, which essentially made them more powerful, but also made you more threatening. It sucks Eric got saved by veto because I really did enjoy your presence in the house.
7th - eric_136: OMG where do I start. You were really the first sign that my final 4 alliance was not legit. You were very distant and despite being an "alliance" you refused to tell me your noms. I've already explained my hand in getting you nominated for Day 4, but I havn't yet explained my hand in nominating you for Day 5. By Day 4, me and Ninja had, as BBCAN4 would say, an unbreakable bond, and this, at least in my opinion, doubled our power in the house. Me and Ninja's biggest fear on Day 4 was that either you or Spicoli would save yourself with veto, so our goal for the day was to discover who was being saved. I can't remember how far we got in that little investigation, but regardless, it wasn't enough to be certain so Ninja ended up just nominating you and Spicoli again to prevent one of you from regaining power and the backlash that would come with it. This move proved successful as it put you on the block for a second day in a row, this time with no veto to protect you. All in all I'm still not really sure how I feel about you. You came across very passive in general, and things didn't go your way, you basically became Scot and Jason. That been said, you did make the game challenging for myself, but not through being a so called "mastermind"
6th - GrilledCheese - In my opinion, you were the final victim of my game. Yesterday, I had no problem saving you and voting 3 - Eric, 2 - Shellbelle, 1 - Burning just like Giraffe had asked. That all changed when I realised Giraffe was nominating me over you due to the fact you were a ride or die, which I completely respect, but I couldn't allow a ride or die to make Day 6. If you stayed you would have likely got algod and the nominees would currently be myself, you and Brning with Ninja and Giraffe as the voters. That meant I only had a 2 in 5 chance of someone using veto on me (myself or Ninja) as you and Giraffe would have both used it on yourself and Burning would have used it on himself. I didn't like those odds so I needed to flip the vote. I changed my vote to 3 - Grilled, 2 - Eric, 1 - Shellbelle, which changed the final tally to become 8 - Eric, 5 - Shellbelle, 3 - Grilled, 2 - Burning. Lastly I used the veto on Shellbelle making you the 2nd evictee. I'm so sorry but it was a move i needed to make to ensure I was one of the three to make Day 7. You were very nice and I hope to play with you again, because we were somewhat aligned, but we both had our own ride or dies that prevented us from ever really working together.
4th/5th - BurninKu5h - This entire game you have been the goat with no real allegiance to anyone and that has got you this far which I must say is commendable. You were very nice the few times we spoke but we never got the chance to really startegize.
4th/5th - omggiraffe - This paragraph is basically a continuation from Grilled's paragraph. My final move was to veto Shellbelle, making a deal she would veto me the today if she won POV. Finally, I (along with Ninja and Shellbelle) came up with the lie that I lied about having veto and that Shellbell vetod herself and this was simply to prevent backlash from you once you realised Grilled was evicted. The hope was the if you wern't nommed today and I was, you wold veto me if you won the veto. This move essentially boosted my chances of being vetoed from 2 in 5, to 4 in 5, and considering Burning hasn't been at all active they were very good odds. The lie wasn't that I lied about having veto, the lie was that I lied about lying about having veto. Stepping aside from the game, I have known you from Group Games, and you were the only person I recognised initially so you were my first pick for an alliance but unfortunately things never really worked out, but nonetheless, we are both here and I congratulate you for that. Good luck, I hope you get 4th!
1st/2nd/3rd - Shellbelle - I never really spoke to you for the first half of the game, but when I started to make moves, some how you became I key part of my game. I've pretty much already expalined how we used each other to get further, so I'll basically just say that you are a very savvy game player and I hope we can play again some time in an actual alliance beginning to end.
1st/2nd/3rd - Ninja41 - Again, I've already explained the importance of you in my game so I am not going to rehash. I can not believe the bond we made. We are not a premade alliance, yet we played the game as though we were, and in my opinion we did better than a lot of premades I have seen. I am so glad we both decided to come back to Tengaged, and it is such a coincidence we are playing in the same game haha. What a way to come back right?
Regardless of what happens, I love this final 5! It is so random and honestly I am happy with any of the three (Ninja, Shellbelle and myself) winning!
