Wow, it's been such an incredible ride to get to this point. I cannot be anymore grateful and lucky to have such a turnout for me. Thanks to Kat and Shir for a enjoyable game and all the dedicated HCs! And finally, thanks to the other houseguests for a fun and crazy game.

So let's get to it; before you all grill me, I can already sense in some of you that you think I'm useless, a floater and invisible. Call me whatever you want, there are things that I've done to keep me safe to get to this point. I don't get why being UTR isn't as appreciative as being an upfront player. We all are different and have different styles of approaching the game.
When I entered this game, I didn't expect to play how I did. I didn't have a set strategy, I just wanted to make myself available and be social enough to last a few weeks and therefore create long lasting bonds.
Which you can say, I think I have created a relationship with almost all of you at one point in the game.
It was around the breakin' boxes challenge where I found myself to be pretty uptight. I felt that I was orchestrating the moves that I wanted to happen and after that round I realized how close I thought to being an upfront player and therefore could have an early target on my back and I didn't want to be that type of player; so I at least tried to remain low key afterwards. Obviously it didn't nearly quite work at the start since I had Faye on my back wanting me gone but hey, it did keep me off the block for sometime right? But after Faye was gone, I felt it was a huge relief for me and I continued to play how I wanted to and remained UTR.
I also like to point out; challenges. So I didn't win a single challenge but there were times when I could have. I want to say that I didn't throw them on purpose, I'm just simply not fast enough as everyone else is. However, the topic of challenges can be an arguable one. They're just there to make the game more interesting, I don't think challenge wins should reflect on overall gameplay.
Anyways, in my case, I think I was lucky enough to not have to worry about winning challenges as I had my back all covered. You can say, I was practically the safest houseguest and feeling very confident to be safe in a game like this is a rough feeling. I was put up for nominations several times at the jury stage but, everyone of you that was put up against me all left in a landslide. Which you can't really say what would happen if it was someone else.
Anyways, I'm not going to ramble on anymore as I'm sure you all are waiting to get to your questions. Furthermore, I know my game isn't as upfront and outstanding as some of yours but I just hope that there are people who can respect an UTR player. I may not be an in your face type but I do tend to like to work behind the scenes.
Thank you for you time and GM, good luck girl, ilu! <3
