Hi, all. I’m going to try to keep this as concise as possible. I don’t want to ramble on for too long about every single thing that happened in the game. Please ask if you’re interested in the minutia of my game.
I made it to the Final 4 unnominated, despite being the only winner left in the game at the Jury, which I feel is a big accomplishment and a testament to my gameplay.
I was relatively under the radar for the first three weeks of the game. My main loyalties were with the remainder of Season 2, particularly Joe, Sam, and Andrea. Sam won the first HOH so I didn’t have to worry about going up the first week. I was also very social with Kelly in the beginning, repairing my relationship with her from Suitman’s Survivor: Ragnarok, which helped keep me safe when she won HOH early on as well.
My game really began in Weeks 4 and 5. After Oli won HOH, Kelly told me that Oli was planning on nominating/backdooring me, but that her, Sam, Andrea, Joe and Dakota would all vote to keep me. This showed me that I could definitely trust Kelly, and that the relationships I had formed in the beginning were of good use. My plan was to lay low and let the house unravel which I knew was coming, and it did. The
#HouseFight helped keep me off the block, and sadly Sam went home.
My Week 5 HOH win was crucial for my game. I put up Jeremy, knowing that he held the Pocket Power of Veto which would allow me to backdoor Andrea and solidify my loyalty to Kelly and Dakota. I used my friendship with Will to secure a majority of the votes to take out Andrea, as I knew (from Will) that certain people were planning on keeping her. Andrea went home, and it set the course for the rest of my game.
The following weeks all went according to plan. It wasn’t pivotal for me to win competitions as long as people from my alliance kept winning. I ended up making Final 2 deals with Kelly, Dakota, Will, and eventually had Joe wanting to go to the end with me as well. I wasn’t a target for others outside my alliance for a while, nor was I a target within my alliance. I knew that I wasn’t at the bottom of any totem poles, hence why I never thought of flipping on my core alliance of Kelly, Dakota, and Julian.
In the last weeks of the game, I decided to turn on Will because I knew he was a jury threat. I saved him with the POV at Final 7 because I knew that if Julian or Dakota won HOH that they would evict him, and it wasn’t good for my game for Will to leave before Eric. However, I had to let Will go at the triple eviction and from that point on I knew I had to win as many competitions as I could to make it to the Final 2.
I feel that my game encompassed social, physical, and strategic components, and I would love to be a two-time winner of Suitman’s Big Brother.
