Hello guys, yeah no im not gonna do a video LOL.
Anyways,
I felt that my invitation to participate in this season was already a “wtf” moment. I believe I fall under “RSF winners who did not deserve to win” because let’s face it, being Splozojames’s partner in redneck island 1 did not help my credibility. So already going into this season, I felt out of place against some of the most iconic RSF winners in history.
Stage 1, I knew I either had someone give me a keycard OR i have to earn it in the last stage. Let’s be honest here, I’m no comp beast, or at least not as good as some of yall. I knew going into this season, I had to rely more on my social/strategic side to make it far in the game. I knew i can’t Ethan’d, Splozo’d, Piddu’d, Christian’d, etc. my way to the end. I made sure to lay low in stage 1 until the very last opportunity to get a key card because I knew already by that time, all the strong competitors already earned a key card- so my competition is much easier. Really there isnt much to say in stage 1. My alliances at the time were Lalisa, Patrick, coolexchangestudent, Christian, rodrigo, Ethan, Splozo, and Brittany. I also had a close relationship with Wyatt, which really helped me in this game because i do believe no one had a clue we were close to begin with. More on that later.
Stage 2 is where I believe I showed how good of a player I am in terms of social/strategy. I knew i was disposable and an “easy elimination opponent”, so I knew I had to pick a team that I was part of the majority alliance, but also with people who I wouldn’t mind facing in an elimination comp. I also used my charm to make sure Christian didnt get alot of strong players, because let’s be honest, I obviously needed the stronger team. I believed my team was god-tier and we dominated in all of the daily challenges.
Stage 2 I set myself up in the middle, because that prevented me from ever being voted into the elimination AND I was seen as a valuable vote for both sides. I knew in the long run by playing both sides, i would either be screwed over because I didnt really stick with a side, OR i would be screwed over because i didnt have strong connections. Either way, I knew this was my best option because I know im not a strong competitor, so I really had to use my social/strategic side to further myself in the game.
The only real threat I had in stage 2 was Bobrocks, because he threw my name out. So when both sides didnt trust him at all, I took that advantage and “flipped” the vote to send him in the elimination comp. I also didnt vote in Ethan because we were aligned and I trust him more. Plus his vote steal was too good to not sabatoge.
My secret alliance with Wyatt is what I believe helped the most in my social game. We were essentially on a Skype call every night exchanging information from both sides, comparing notes on what certain people said, and making decisions that will benefit BOTH of us in the future. No one had a clue we were this close, which will probably shock alot of you now that you’re reading this lol. Our close connection steamed from TTRS: LOTH2 - my very first group game. We have great chemistry and worked very well together. We decided to reunite this season and keep the
#BlueBarracudas alliance a secret. Towards the end of our run, I can sense the tension from Wyatt for not voting in Ethan, but I believe it was best for MY gameplay to keep Ethan longer. This is where I also believed it was time to expand my alliances and branch out more to other people.
Going into stage 3, I had amicable connections with everyone but Nick, that’s why I decided to pick Nick as my partner. I knew he was a good competitor and I also know that we had no communication at ALL in this game, even when we were secret partners! I paired up with him just also to protect my ass in case he has power and decided to go after me. Honestly, i’m so happy I partnered up with Nick because he was such a great partner and not once were we going to double cross each other.
Stage 3 I believe was where I showed myself that i am truly a competitor and proved to people that I am not weak in challenges. I beat Brittany and Nolan in back-to-back eliminations. I really believe that people underestimated me as the weaker opponent, but those two eliminations and in stage four against Eric, proved why I deserved to be in the final 3.
I didnt end up in the final 4 as a “fluke”, or i was able to slide by to the end. No, i paved my path to the finals with a strong strategic gameplay in stage 1, strong social awareness in stage 2, and a strong competitive showing in stage 3 and stage 4 to get me to the final 4.
I stayed true to myself as a person and I played this game to the fullest. I am asking you jury to award me with the medals because I believe I EARNED my way to the final 4 and inevitably final 3. I am more than happy to answer your questions so please dont hesitate
I truly love everyone in this game (even you bobrocks), and I am so happy to be part of such an iconic season.
