Thank you! I'm sad to be here. Ed and GinaMarie do deserve to be the Final 2 so I hope that they get it. Nothing personal to Jade but she's been strung along the whole game and hasn't done much of anything. No regrets for me except that I wish I would've tried harder to convince Peter to take the leap in backdooring Ed instead of booting Judd. I feel like Helen would've got on board with it. I just knew that Ed was going to be my downfall if he stuck around.
Did you trust Rhian? She is the snake and has ties all over the game. She has had alliances with me, Helen, GM, Ed, Peter, Deana. I am not sure if she has something with Jade but she has been protecting Jade.
I never really protected Jade. I was pulled into an alliance with Jade at one point because Judd wanted a Final 4 alliance of he, Ed, Jade, and I. I never pitched that and I didn't say no to it. I didn't talk much to Jade in this game. Nobody talked much to Jade unless you messaged her first. She wasn't a very social player.. but to be honest she hasn't been much of a player at all.
I just want to address me being a "snake" since there are a few comments about it. I did base my game around deceit. I wanted to be on everybody's good side while still maintaining a relationship with my closest ally in the game which was GinaMarie. Amanda for what it's worth, I did not want you to go when you did. I wanted you to stay in longer because I really wanted you to be the one to help me take out Ed. I said it in my Diary Room many, many times. And you know that I had your back for the longest time, but there was no way I was going to let GM get booted over you because she and I were attached.
I did have many alliances and it got to the point where I had to throw some Head of Household competitions earlier in the game because I would have blown my cover early on. The first six people evicted I had no sort of deal with at all. I was in a three person alliance with Faye, I was in a three person alliance with Deana, I was in a four person alliance with Amanda, I was in a four person alliance with Judd, I was in a three person alliance with Peter, I was in a four person alliance with Helen, and in a four person alliance with Ed and Jade. My individual alliances, were with GinaMarie, Deana, Peter, and Helen. I then had good social standing with almost everyone else but nothing was established in terms of "alliance", the example being Amanda and Judd who I talked to often.
If Ed and GinaMarie are the Final 2 which I think is the most deserving combo, it will get interesting. I worked with GinaMarie closely throughout the entire game and she and I worked the house as much as we could in the early stages to ensure that certain people left, especially during the Survivor week when Eric got booted, the round after when Sam left, and the round I took over as co-HOH to get rid of Faye for trying to go against GM and I the two rounds prior.
Ed sort of kicked back and relaxed that whole early portion of the game. It wasn't until the Final 5 that he started playing a real game, well a physical game. I feel like he only ever chatted up GinaMarie and not much of anyone else. Can you guys honestly say he ever talked to you unless you messaged him? It was rare, unless he wanted something. His only real move has been removing Jade and putting up GinaMarie in the Final 4, which was the obvious thing to do to make sure I left. Great, but not leaps and bounds of strategy.
Also I don't like this final 3 that much. I don't hate it but...Jade did nothing the whole game, Ed had some vendetta against me from week 2 for no reason and GinaMarie was the fakest bitch on the house. I guess GinaMarie does deserve it?
My issue with GinaMarie is she was hiding behind Rhian and I even told GinaMarie that which made her get butt hurt. My issue with Ed is how he was a total douche to me when he nominated me. But I guess I can't talk since what I was doing to Judd was much sweeter!
I was actually hoping you would make it to the end over GinaMarie.
So close yet so far away! You were great
