So we honestly didn’t talk much in the game, but I made a lot of moves behind the scenes that nobody really detected. For example, when L’Shei came to me last minute campaigning for you to stay, I had already voted you out, but I didn’t want to cut ties with her because we were just starting to build a bond and I didn’t want to piss her off so I pretended that there was a chance that I would change my votes to save you and evict Amanda and Tajon. I knew that if I just listened to what you said and told you and L’Shei the truth (that I was still voting you out) that when you were gone, L’Shei would possibly want to work with me because I was “honest with her about how I voted” opposed to Deron and Cole lying to her. I also was the sole person responsible for breaking up the alliance you created, The Black Widow Brigade. I knew about the alliance as soon as it was made because of Steph. (I knew her before this game) We planned to work together during the game and she also told me everything the alliance was talking about.
Things changed a bit week two though because Steph got chained reacted and was up against L’Shei for eviction. Steph told me that she really didn’t want to campaign because she was tired and just came home from work or something, but I talked her into it. She planned to stay loyal to your alliance for awhile (possibly jury) but I knew the alliance was too big and that if any of you 5 made it to final two that you’d only be one vote shy of winning. I convinced Steph to out the alliance and talked her through who to tell and everything. I had her tell Owen and show him a screenshot of your alliance because I knew he had a strong social game (I looked up every vet that was in this game during week 1) and knew he wouldn’t be able to keep the news of an all girl alliance to himself…which he didn’t. I had to play dumb when Claus brought the “news” to me and just for kicks I asked him who he heard it from and when he answered Owen I knew my plan to save Steph was working.
Before you used the Coup D’eTat that night I managed to behind the scenes get Owen and Tajon to campaign for Steph to stay and L’Shei more than likely would’ve been going home before you saved her. Also the week you went home was when the teams switched and only you, Steph, and Amanda were eligible for nomination by Owen that week. I told Steph to ask Owen to be nommed even though she had a small bond with him because she would have an easy win against you and she could at least fight for her life.
I know you love L’Shei and you are probably voting for her regardless of my gameplay, but as someone who loves Dr. Will, Dan, etc. I would hope that you could see how well of a game I played and how many people I manipulated without them even realizing it and consider voting for me. I blew up your alliance without you even having any idea about it…Steph took the heat for that whole entire fiasco when I was the one pulling the strings.

You were absolutely crucial to my game because I knew that I could trust you 100% We formed our two person alliance Day 2 and it was one of my best game moves because we could bounce ideas off of each other and compare notes about other HG’s calls we were in. Even when we combined forces with Shawn and L’Shei to be a foursome you were still the person I trusted the most in the alliance. I knew that you’d always be loyal to me and the first three weeks after the team twist was over we were always in the top 3 people to get their key pulled first in the chain reaction which for newbies, is practically unheard of. I also felt like you trusted me which made me feel comfortable enough to tell you that I pretended not to like you and make fun of you in Amanda, Deron, and Cole’s calls to cover up our alliance. You were someone I loved working with in the game and hope to continue our friendship outside of this game.
My group response for Amanda, Cole, and Deron
Whether the three of you read this is completely up to you, but I am taking this opportunity to fully explain myself. One of my strategies coming into this house was to keep my friends close and my enemies closer. From day 1 you guys made your alliance obvious as fuck by how you talked to one another in the chat and screen shotting your guys’ calls in the tag. I knew that your alliance of three could do damage, especially with Amanda being able to win comps so very early on I decided to try and get in with your group. One night I asked Amanda if there was a call and she added me into it. I never planned to be loyal to you group, I just used you three for information. It is not my fault that you three were sloppy as fuck in telling me who you’d put up, talked shit about, and everything else under the sun.
I used whatever information you guys leaked to better my game and plan my future moves. I shared bits and pieces of it with Brittany, L’Shei, and Steph to gain their trust and started a plan in motion with L’Shei to evict you one by one. When it came to why I used my two extra votes on Cole, it wasn’t because L’Shei told me that you threw me under bus, it was because I didn’t trust you and wanted you out. I heard about you and your reputation long before this game, but decided to give you a chance. The first week a few of us in the game decided to play Skypevivor, however, my intention wasn’t to win the game at all. It was to test L’Shei, Emma, and you and see how you guys played. You lost my trust when Oscar told me that you lead the plan for me to be evicted and from that moment on I was done with you. I had to cover up my tracks though so I acted like I was shocked and hurt by what you did and that I still wanted to work with Amanda and Deron.
L’Shei and I worked together to get you out because quite frankly you were a comp beast and needed to be backdoored. You however, made your own bed when you wouldn’t tell me where I was on your list week 4 and fed Cole lines to say to me when he was campaigning for my vote. If anything you made me want to not keep Cole even more due to your Sahara desert thirst for me to keep him. You were insanely messy and your emotions got the best of you. This is an online BB game, not the mafia so cool it with how much you talk down to people. You also couldn’t keep your stories straight about how you felt about Owen which also made you look worse in my eyes and made me want to get you out that much more. You go from game to game playing the exact same way so don’t get mad that I played you and your alliances ass and sent you home.
I honestly had a lot of respect for you even through all of this, but how you acted towards the end literally disgusted me because I thought you had respect for the game. However, I am going to try and keep this game related and getting you out of the house was one of my biggest moves because I had to convince my foursome alliance of L’Shei, Brittany, and Shawn that it was better to evict you over Steph. I literally fed Steph lines to campaign to Shawn with because I knew he was an emotional player and if she could connect with him on a personal level she might have a chance to stay. L’Shei, who I was working with closely at the time tried to talk me out of saving Steph, but I just reassured her that you were an unpredictable player and wouldn’t strategize at all with us. The vote ended up being 3-2 that week and Steph stayed.
Overall I know I don’t have any of you threes vote, but don’t be mad at me because you were incapable of being able to keep your mouths shut, which in the end sank your three man ship.
By the way Cole, have fun voting for L’Shei when she dragged the fuck out of you in her nomination speech to you week 4.
