Jenny’s Opening Statement
Hi guys!! I would like to start off by saying that it was great playing with all of you. I really do love you all and I had such a fun time playing! I think we all know by now that I don’t watch Big Brother, and I got two pieces of advice from people on how to make a BB opening statement. The first was to just explain my gameplay, so that is what this will consist of. The second was to completely trash talk the other finalist, but I love Scott so I will not be doing that. As this game has lasted 125 days, the timeline of events is a bit blurry for me, and I apologize for that. If I don’t cover everything, feel free to ask and I’d love to answer your questions! With that, I guess I’ll begin.
As I stated earlier, I have never seen an episode of Big Brother. Because of that, I went into the game trying to play under the radar while I figured out how the strategy worked. This plan worked out well… for the first two days. Almost immediately, Jessica messaged me about an alliance of all the people not in the pre-made and asked if I wanted in. This was a good start until I won first HOH, something that definitely did not keep me under the radar. I tried to nominate two people who I thought would be pretty standard nominations: Ian and Dane. This was obviously not the case, and as you all know, they asked me to backdoor Headband, and I happily complied.
After that first crazy week, I managed to stay under the radar as I learned the ropes. My main goal going into this was to make jury, so I wasn’t trying to make big moves at this point. With this alliance, I managed to stay in for five weeks without any of my alliance members getting evicted. That changed with pairs week, and the infamous fight between Ben and Ian happened. At around the same time, the fight between the floridians happened. These both helped me, because, from that point, I used Ben and Josh as shields. I won HOH again based on rankings, which demonstrated that I was well liked and had a good social game going.
When I made jury, I completed my goal and set my sights on winning. From this point I considered myself allies with Jessica, Dani, Nic, Katie, and Scott, as I had been in previous alliances with them, but we did not have a formal alliance. Unfortunately Katie asked to be evicted that week. After this, Dani, Jessica, and I formed an all girls alliance, and by pairing up with Scott and Nic, none of my allies went home over the next two weeks. We hit a bump in the road when Dani and I were both nominated, but Jessica saved the day once again and sacrificed herself, something that I owe my game to. The next week, we got Ian out, and it was a final four of just my allies.
The next week, I had to make the toughest decision of the game. I won POV and had to decide between going against Scott’s wishes and evicting Dani, or keeping Dani and hurting Scott. Ultimately, I decided to keep Nic because I knew it would be difficult going up against Dani and I had to do what was best for my game. I won final HOH and my obvious choice was to evict Nic, as I had wanted to be final 2 with Scott since day zero.
Overall, I am proud of my game. I won three HOH’s, one POV, and had a strong social and strategic game until the end, all while learning how this game works. Thanks, and I look forward to answering your questions! Â
