Well damn David, I see u want to state your case b4 we get asked questions lol. I guess I'll be weak asf and follow your lead :3 (don't come for me for my weak ass case cuz I wasn't lying when I said I don't have the best cases/speeches and barely be remembering ish)
Anyways, I came in this game trying to lay low asf, not really give any effort as I always do (unless someone comes to me to talk). As we were nearing the end of the HOH comp, I believe it was Connor who said he and Tyler had this thing going on and they were going to give me the HOH, which I was pissed about cuz I did not want to be first HOH. But if it weren't for that HOH I prolly wouldn't of had the bonds I did and who knows. Nommed Zach and the other one, ppl I didn't talk to, then I had multiple ppl come to me saying get Luis out. Didn't want to, Zach got down from the block, I did nom Luis to keep the house happy so they wouldn't target me. It's week one, can't be pissing majority off. Next week i get nominated, and was able to save myself with the veto (yass bish)
Skip ahead, I had relations with Jaron and JT (who I wanted to work with because of previous relations from past games) also Tyler, Christian, Connor and David. At the time, I considered Connor my #1, but we rarely talked going down the line which I knew what that was about, and I saw David was more genuine with me, and I got the vibe I could trust him.
We merge, I have a couple ppl I want to target, Renny (because he's hosted games before and I know a couple of his past players were in the game and I saw that as a problem) and Christian (got a sneaky vibe from him) and somewhat Zach (I nommed him the first week, come on. He could've easliy used that as a reason to nom me) but I wanted to keep up the act of hoping to keep house 2 together. I saw Kashton had some kinda isolation thing going on with his house so I wanted to work with him cuz I usually talk to outsiders and it woud've been great to get more ppl that would work for house 2. I also talked to Kevin and also Armanti and Brian....
I got the idea to get Christian out because I had a gut feeling, right or wrong, that he and Connor were working together behind the scenes and I thought breaking that up would bring Connor to me again after not talking for a while. I knew Christian was untrustworthy as well, got the vibe from him when I won the first HOH, he seemed pushy and then when it was all said and done hadn't talked to me again for a while. So I knew I wanted him out.
Everyone has they're targets, everyone is going for each other... I was in a comfortable position. There was no need for me to get involved in that and get a target on me. Also that made pairs and groups and allies want to come for the "loner" (me) to add numbers for their side. I had a good relationship with David, Brian and Armanti trusted me, I was talking with Kashton and Kevin. I was goot.
Armanti nommed me at one point, which bothered me cuz I thought we were good. I was safe tho, and I acted as if everything was ok so we'd still be good. When Armanti was nommed, I knew keeping him would be bad because Brian was good at comps and a good player, so I knew I had to get him out. So as I said, it wasn't for revenge, but for the game, it could easily be used as a reason to vote you. Game continue, Brian is still good with me, David's good with me, Connor wasn't a worry (he wasn't winning comps) and Nick and I weren't on the best terms, but we did have a slight bond. So I was goot, and now I'm here in F2.
I know I wasn't a strategic mastermind, I know I had some bonds with the jury and I might not have been taking notes of every single moment of the game like David or as may ppl would expect for a finalist to do, but I still managed to get to the end, not make too many enemies and have some moves in my book and plays that could earn respect. Whether you think it's worthy of your votes or not. It was a great game, 28 bishes came in and as jury members and finalists, I think we all slayed.
