I'm glad to of played with everybody here, thanks to those of you who sent in questions <3
That’s a great question, because I did think about it at the time. I didn’t take you out that week because I felt that compared to Jev I had a better relationship with you. I had already known you for a while unlike Jev. Jev and I didn’t know each other much. That week my targets were 1. Jev 2. Luke and 3. You. Also because you were a girl and I didn’t want to get rid of another girl early on in the game. I am glad Randy and I did not decide to target you that week or else #Madley would never have occurred.
Rhone! I can understand why this is a tough decision for you, and I’m glad you love me and Corey as final 2. Like I said before, I wanted nothing more than to have 2 Arson people in the finale. To answer your question, I was nominated 3 times. First during week 2 by Dan. I was able to convince him to use the veto on me, insuring me safety. Second time was during the triple when Josh, Joseph and myself were nominated. I made sure I was good and had the votes to stay, receiving no votes to be evicted. Finally, was when Jordan nominated me during final 4, once again I saved myself by getting Jordan to use the veto on me. I was probably going to stay but I made a huge move by calling a house meeting and getting Jordan to use it on me. In the end I received no votes to be evicted throughout the whole game.
I never felt afraid that I would be evicted because I am not afraid to lose a game. Not that I don’t care about it, but I feel like if I let myself be afraid of being evicted then in a way its like giving up. I always try to look for the best possible outcome where I can make sure I survive the week. The steps I took were to make sure people knew I was a non-threat, valuable to their game, and making whoever was next to me look like a bad option to stay. I made sure I talked to everyone and explained clearly why I should stay. Dan was the person who put me up twice and it was because we never really connected in the game. It’s kind of hard to force something like that so I always understood when he would nominate me, because I was always planning on doing the same. The fact that I never received votes and managed to get 2 vetoes used on me by the same people who put me up in the first place speaks volumes as to how my social game was.
Hi Luke! Thanks for thinking of me as a strategic player, that’s such a compliment to me. As for my plan in this game, yes my plan was for everyone to see me as a non threat. The truth is though, when it comes to competitions I am a non threat. I rarely throw comps, I’m just really bad at them lol. I’m still shocked I won that last HOH and super proud since apparently I wasn’t going to be taken by anyone. My strategy for this game was to stay under the radar and surround myself with people who were bigger targets. Yet I was aligned with a lot of people in this game, and I believe I had many peoples trusts. I feel like I made a lot of moves in this game that were on the down low like keeping myself off the block the week you went. But eventually I knew I had to make a huge move like when called the house meeting asking Madison to evict me. It was a risk and in the end it made me a threat, but it’s the move I’m most proud of.
You not liking the fact that I did not bring up your name in my F2 speech, ME... Anyways, Dan I actually found your question to be the best one yet. I feel like our relationship in the house was never strong. We would always casually say “hi” and like you said we talked about school or whatever. We just never really became friends or aligned together. On my part it was always because I felt like you would put me up, which you did... twice. Like you I always think I may need someone so although we where never best of friends we were always polite to each other. When you were up on the block with Madison is when you came to me with your plan to split up the duos in the house. I was all for it and was planning on keeping you. Unfortunately for you, Madison pulled out that ass veto. Getting rid Jordan was an absolute no for me, I was aligned with him and trusted him so I had to vote you out. So yea I did not trust you because you nominate me twice. But like I said had it not been for Madison using her veto you would have had my vote to stay. As for taking Corey in final 2 instead of Jordan. I actually think Jordan played a better game than Corey. And I believe I deserve to win over Corey because of the moves I made and my social game. Anyways, I hope outside this game we can talk, you seem like a nice guy and I never had a problem with you personally in the game :)
Jordan Pines… Well Jordan I think we’ve said all we have had to say to each other already. I do think of you as a funny (sometimes annoying) and a great person. Even though we ended things on bad terms. However, I don’t want to talk too much about that stuff right now but hopefully after you vote we can.
I’m putting this at the bottom because its so much. Obviously I cant thank you enough for your help during survivor week, that was YOUR week and I would have not been able to do what I did without you. You should be proud of that blindside. I felt guilty when Madison came after you because of that hasdkjhf. I’m proud of us and that stressful week. Anyway, I’m going to make each week a summary of what I personally did in the game.
Week 1: Made sure I formed relationships with people and tried to set up alliances and bonds. It was the first week so I needed to get to know people. I instantly connected with Josh and Joseph, two people I did not know before yet they became important to me. I was safe thanks to Madison being on my team.
Week 2: I was nominated this week by Dan because we had not really talked game and only had small talk. I made sure to make better connections with people in case I didn’t win POV. I grew close to Rhone and formed Arson. I lost POV (obviously) but was able to convince Dan to use it on me.
Week 3: I don’t really remember this week tbh lmao. I guess it was a low key week for me, not much to say.
Week 4: I had to chose between you and Benjamin which was tough. I made sure I knew who was staying before voting and I think this week was when I realized who I could trust.
Week 5: Survivor week, I think you know how this week went for me. I was targeted and together we managed to blindside Luke, Jev and Madison. Obviously if it wasn’t for you Joseph or I may have been evicted.
Week 6: This week was crazy. I paired up with Jordan because at that point we did not have a strong relationship. Paring up with him was the best thing I did because it eventually led to use aligning with each other. Also this was the week where Joseph and Savannah ended up on the block after being HOH. It sucked because I wanted Savannah to stay but I had no choice because I was more loyal to Arson.
Week 7: The dreaded week where you were nominated. Really wanted you to stay but Madison was out for revenge!
Week 8: This week sucked because Corey was HOH and I really wanted to get out a threat like Dan or Luke. Luke won POV and Corey decided to go for Ally instead of going for someone who was an actual threat. Not that I don’t think Ally is useful but she was busy with real life stuff and never around.
Week 9: Double eviction. Dan won HOH and put me up (not shocked) I had to make sure I was good with everyone. I knew Josh was probably going but Joseph could have easily stayed over me. I campaigned hard to people and insured everyone votes. At the same time this actually helped me build stronger relationships with people.
Week 10: Madison was HOH and my name was being thrown around by what I assume Luke and Dan. Madison told me she was thinking of putting me up but I campaigned to her and said that I would probably go. I knew she was really after Rhone so this ended up saving me from going up and had that not happened Luke would have been safe.
Week 11: Honestly Rhone did most of the work this week by winning HOH and nominating Dan and Madison. Madison used her ass veto and Jordan went up. It was a no brainer for me to keep Jordan since we were aligned and I used my extra vote even though I didn’t need to, in hopes that it would help Jordan trust me more.
Week 12: This week was the week I tried the most to win HOH, but of course, Im a flop. I was able to have a good enough relationship with Madison and she chose to put up Corey and Rhone.
Week 13: I think you know what happened this week. I made a huge move and evicted Madison during Jordan’s HOH and POV win. Its a lot to write and I could go on and on about this week tbh.
Week 14: I won the final HOH, and decided to stay loyal to the Arson alliance and bring Corey to final 2.
Now your 2nd question: Thanks for thinking I did great, I appreciate it. We were iconic during that week and ily for it. I knew people were with Corey in HOS9 but I would like to think that people treat every game differently, because that’s what I do. The HOS9 people decide to vote for Corey solely because he lost HOS9, then so be it. I don’t agree with it, but I can’t do anything to stop them. The thing was during final 5, it was 4 HOS9 people and me. But I knew they were after each other and I was in the middle, and good with both sides. Rhone was being targeted by Madison, Corey by Jordan. Corey and Rhone were targeting Madison and Jordan. And I was sitting pretty. Like I said before, I could have just sat there and do nothing because I would have probably been dragged to final 3 but I decided to step my game up and get rid of the biggest threat of the game.
