First off I want to thank everyone who have encouraged me in any way, shape or form this past week. I could not have gotten this far without each and everyone of yours support, so thank you so much!
When I first entered the game, I will be honest I was not fully aware of what I was getting myself into. I was not used to the fast pace routine that hit me when I first entered. I knew I had to catch on pretty quickly, which I believe I successfully managed to do.
My strategies the first and second half of the game were both completely different. My strategy the first half was to try and lay low as best I could. I knew coming into the game I would already have a target on my back, so I tried to make sure I could get people to see they could use me to their advantage. I also knew coming in that the rest of the cast would assume I wouldn't be that good at stars, so I used that to my advantage as well. I felt if people did not realize I caught onto the game as quick as I did, they would feel they could keep me around longer to their advantage. I managed to be the swing vote in the first couple of nominations, and I tried to pull it off as if I didn't nominate a certain way that I did.
The second half I will admit I was kinda fed up with not truly showing what I can do. Both sides wanted to use me to take out their enemies, I would try my hardest to attempt to prevent that from happening, and I owe thanks to some players in the game for helping me out with that (you know who you are).
Admitting I was a lot smarter than people gave me credit for actually worked a lot more to my advantage. Some people in the stars cast were impressed by this, and let others outside the game know I was playing my own game. I was glad people outside the game realized I was doing pretty well for my first game. Those of you in the cast who spoke to people outside the game I want to thank you so much for that.
I want to set the record straight of a few things. For one I am NOT a multi. I know I have said that, but I wanted to get that out in the open. Two I did NOT volunteer to be nommed for 5th place. I knew it was a likely possibility, but there is only so much you can do to prevent that from happening. I by no means volunteered to be nominated. I was not a "sheep" in the game as some suggest. People believe I clung to players I knew and just sheeped to them. Ironically I knew 3 players going into the game, each I nominated when they got evicted. I did everything I did in the game strategically, nothing personal at all. I loved those people, but I had to do what I felt was best for me.
The hardest part of the game was knowing no matter what I was going to be up on the block. It was inevitable in my opinion, so I did what I felt was best for my game in these situations. Whether it was try to prevent it, or accept it in order to not burn bridges with allies in the future. I typically knew who nominated me, even though people lied. I knew who was after me, and I tried to work with people as best I could to take them out. All in all my nomination for 5th place I knew was very likely, however being such a popularity threat the rest of the cast believed I was, it is extremely hard to try and avoid this.
All in all, being in stars was a very fun and stressful experience. I have met really great people during it, and I am was so happy to be in finals with SuperFreak and Jenii_Valenta. Both played terrific games, and both are more than deserving to be sitting in finals.
I apologize for the long speech, to those of you who have stayed to read this part I admire you for that lmao.
Good luck to Cam and Jenni!
