Lets Rice and Roll!

[Helen]

This is kind of awkward because I wanted to wait for someone else to post their question so I could see if I needed to adjust mine or not LOL and I don't know if I'm supposed to make this fancy and put fancy pictures and whatnot!! I'll try to go easy on you since some other people might be out for more blood than I am

So congratulations to the both of you, yeah! So happy to see another girl take the crown this season! GinaMarie, you were one of my favorite people that I met this season so it's nice to see you in the Finals, and Jade ... I didn't talk to you much lol but I'm sure you're nice too!

GinaMarie ~ For the seven jury members, I want you to write a seven sentence spiel on how each of us were crucial to you winning the game, and/or how you benefited from us. Please mention any deals you had with each juror, and whether or not you had an influence in their eviction. Seven sentence (minimum) per juror!

Jade ~ A lot of us aren't really impressed with your under the radar performance. I know you addressed it in your opening statement, but I would like to have you further explain to us why you think you deserve to win. You're standing next to GinaMarie, who has performed very consistently in every challenge she's played in, and you're also standing in front of a jury that have won a handful of competition themselves (besides me of course, hah). I know you said challenge wins shouldn't reflect overall gameplay, and I'm actually in the same boat as you. I only won one challenge and it was one I didn't need -- all of the HOH's and Veto's that were crucial I couldn't win for the life of me. But when I wasn't winning challenges, there was a lot of behind the scenes action going on to save myself. Can you say you the same for you? When you didn't win a challenge, were you like "Darn, oh well, next round!" or were you "So I completely lost that challenge, what can I do to make sure that I stay?" Also, I want you to write three facts about each of the the jurors. I didn't have much time to socialize with you in the game, so I'm just curious to see how much of the other houseguests you got to know on a personal level.

And for the both of you ~ I LOVE POKEMON! I want you to post a picture of one Pokemon for each juror and explain why they represent that houseguest. I will obviously be watching how you answer my first set of questions and the rest of the jury's as well, but I will most importantly base my vote on whoever compares me to the cutest Pokemon Just kidding of course. And as a tribute to our lovely host, I want you to pick one Britney Spears song that you think relates to each jury member! Please post the song title and reason why right after your Pokemon picks! Sorry it's a lot but no one else has posted anything yet so you should have time!


Thank you ladies, good luck, congratulations, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

[GinaMarie]

Thanks for your questions Helen! I will get to this this afternoon after class!

[Deana]

I will answer this in a week from now. #Jade

[Shir]

I don't think comparing the jury to Pokemon is relevant to the game. And if someone doesn't watch Pokemon, they would have no idea where to begin with answering these. So please either remove that question or choose another one relevant to the game.

Hey Helen! I managed to answer this part of your question so far so I figured I would post it now. Sorry if they are long but I think I went over 7 sentences for each juror by far. 

Deana: Deana was honestly someone that I was afraid of. She was someone that I knew was very smart and could end up coming after me if she thought she needed to. She was crucial to my game in the sense that she made herself a target to a majority of the people in the house by the time she was evicted because of her working with Faye. However, she also did help warn me that people were worried about me being with the Aussies, which was crucial because I had to make sure I got the thought of that out of people’s heads because it wasn’t necessarily true.

  As for her eviction, yes, I was a main force behind her leaving the game. Once Faye was evicted, Rhian and I talked and said that Deana would be an ideal first vote at the jury stage because it wouldn’t ruffle too many feathers and it would get out someone that neither of us trusted and someone I knew personally was not with me in this game. So I did go to Peter and bring up the idea of getting out Deana that week because of that. Also, once I found out that her and Amanda were all for backdooring Ed, I knew it was a move that would benefit me greatly.    

Amanda: Amanda may have been one of the most crucial players to help me succeed in this game. We all know Amanda was a target early on and when she survived week 2, I thought she would’ve been the perfect person to align with because she had to figure not many people would be willing to. It was around the survivor week when Rhian came to me and said that Amanda wanted to work with her, so I knew I needed to get Amanda to like me so that she offered me an alliance with them, which is exactly what happened. Aligning with Amanda paid great dividends when she won HOH and nominated Ed and Sam. Originally, she was going to nominated Ed and Jade which would have resulted in Ed leaving the game, but Rhian and I were able to convince her to put Sam up instead to ensure that he was the one that left that week and not Ed.  

As for her eviction, I honestly was not behind it at all. Did I know it was happening? Yes I did, but I had no sort of deal with Judd at that point so anything I said to him would not have mattered. I knew he was considering me as a replacement that week so rather than annoy him about what he was going to do, I sat back and stayed quiet because I knew it was going to be Amanda and Helen and was very confident Amanda would be leaving, which is exactly what I wanted to happen anyway. So I did not see any reason to talk to Judd about it.

Judd: I’ll admit Judd was a bit of a confusing situation to me. Judd did a few things in this game that I feel were crucial to helping me get to where I am now. The first thing he did as I mentioned was get Amanda evicted. I was so happy that it happened and was happy that Judd was the one to do it because I knew it meant I would be clean with Helen going forward. The second thing Judd did was that he told me that Deana told him I wanted him gone and he showed me the conversation of her saying it. This was vital because at the time I was starting to come around to the fact that maybe I could work with Deana and I ended up approaching her about it and while I really wanted to believe that she meant no harm by it, I knew she was lying and knew at that point I could not trust her.  

Judd and I did have somewhat of a deal before the jury phase started. It was kind of like a “you watch my back and I watch your’s” kind of thing, but it was never really made official. He always hinted at not wanting me out and not targeting me and I did the same back to him, but that’s as far as it ever got. As for his eviction, yes I was one of the people that was all for him leaving when he did. I knew from when he was HOH that he wasn’t with me because he told people I would have been the replacement had Amanda or Helen come off the block, so I knew at that point it was best for him to just leave. Combined that with his recent challenge wins and Judd was becoming more of a dangerous player.   

Peter: Peter was very very very crucial to my game and me getting to where I am. Peter was always one of the quieter one’s in my opinion, but he was always very honest and straight forward with me about everything. If not for him, Rhian and I would have never known that Faye was against us and we wouldn’t have known that Faye and Judd were working together. Peter was feeding me all of that information the entire time and was sending me stuff being said in their group chat. Peter is one of the most loyal people I have ever encountered in one of these games and him being by my side made this game a lot easier for me.  

Peter and I had an unspoken agreement ever since the game first started. I remember during the first HOH we were helping each other a lot during that and we were pretty confident one of us were going to win it. It wasn’t until around the time of the jury starting that a final four alliance of myself, Peter, Rhian and Ed was created. That is really the only official deal Peter and I had, but we were working together the entire game up until he was evicted. As for him being evicted, yes, unfortunately I was behind it. This was the round that I won both HOH and POV so I would be lying if I said I didn’t have anything to do with him leaving. The round Judd left, I went to Ed, Jade and Rhian and told them all that we need to target Peter next week because he was winning too many challenges. I didn’t have any sort of deal with Peter passed F4, so I wasn’t sure what he would have done at that point and since he couldn’t compete in HOH at F6, I thought it was the perfect time to get rid of him. I feel awful about it, but I really feel like that was a big move in getting me here.    

Helen: Helen was also crucial to my game. Like Peter, Helen and I got along great from the first time that we talked. For the first few rounds we were always on the same page with everything. Helping each other in the boxes HOH and just always agreeing on eviction. The main reason she was crucial to my game was because of the alliance I had with her, Amanda and Rhian. Helen was a crucial vote in survivor week round and the round that Faye left and having an alliance with her made it much easier to secure her vote for those rounds. The same thing happened when Deana was evicted, even though her and Amanda did not want that to happen at all, it was easier to convince them to do it because I was still aligned with them at that point. Working with Helen really made this game a lot easier for me for sure.  

As for her eviction, yes I was behind it. Honestly, Helen leaving at F5 was my ideal scenario because I thought she was a threat to win in her own right because she was playing a great social game and everyone really liked her. I went into the F5 assuming either Rhian or Ed would leave that week, but when Rhian won HOH and Ed won POV, it made it much easier to just send Helen home that week. Between her and Jade, I wanted Helen gone because I trusted Jade more and she wasn’t as much as a threat.

Rhian: I really just don’t even know where to start. This girl was my rock all game and her and I did everything together. She was just crucial to my game in so many ways. Her and I were in every alliance together, we shared everything so we knew everything that was going on around us because of how well connected we were and we just were always planning together and laying out every possibility in any scenario. We were both in deals with Ed/Jade, Ed/Peter, Faye and Amanda/Helen and she was crucial because she was able to get me into some of these alliances and vice versa. She always told me when she heard my name and she always told me anything she found out in general, which was a big help for me because it helped me know what was always going on. I really think her and I were the strongest duo in the game by far and we controlled almost everything that happened.  

Her eviction is a big mess in the eyes of a few people. Some people think I was all for her being evicted when she was and I will come clean right now and say that is not what I wanted to happen at all. Yes, I had Ed and Jade pretty convinced that I would have evicted Rhian at F4 if the veto was used on me, but there was no way I was actually going to do it. When Ed won HOH I thought it was perfect because he would nominate Rhian and Jade and leave noms the same if he won, but then he told me he was going to take Jade off the block and I fought my ass off to stay off the block so that I could go all game without being nominated, but also because I was going to evict Jade. 

Ed: Ed was almost as crucial to my game as Rhian was. Ed and I hit it off right away during our first conversation and I knew he really trusted me when he chose Sam and I for vacation. Ed was loyal and that is the most important quality to have in a game like this, find someone who is very loyal and you know will stick with you and that was what Ed did. He was also crucial because he also fed me information during the game about stuff he had heard and his relationship with Judd was key to my game because I didn’t have a very good one with Judd, so having Ed be tight with Judd always helped me know what Judd was doing or what he was going to do. He also was a huge target during many round in this game and that took any potential target off of me directly, even though I was always lumped in with him, no one ever came after me because they wanted Ed out first.  

I’d obviously be lying if I said I didn’t have anything to do with Ed’s eviction lol. Yes, I evicted Ed and I went back and forth on it so many times that its unbelievable. I knew if I was in the finals with Ed, I would probably lose and people wouldn’t even give me a chance because Ed is probably seen as someone who overcame so many obstacles to get here and he dominated the challenges towards the end that really solidified his spot in the final three. I knew he would be very upset with me if I evicted him, but I always play with my heart and I told myself this time I was going to do what I had to to get have the best shot at winning and Ed being in the finals with me would not have lived up to that.

Helen are you replacing the question? If not I will get to the Britney Spears one, but I'm waiting to see if you are adding a new question.

It's okay GinaMarie I just deleted the last part for the both of you since it wouldn't be fair in case someone doesn't listen to Britney Spears so you're actually done with me. Thanks for your answers!

[GinaMarie]

Thanks for the questions <3

I will answer this in a week from now. #Jade

Seriously, rude much?  I really wasn't here last night at all, I'm sorry that I had other things come up. Geez christs, sorry that I have a life and can't be on 24/7. 

[Jade]

Thanks Helen!  Now onto your questions, 

I would like to have you further explain to us why you think you deserve to win.

I'm just going to be honest, I know that I probably don't deserve to win and I can feel it deep down.  I told GM that she could take Ed because it would've given her a better showdown and I always like a good fight in the end.  However, I also said that I wouldn't mind being here also said I probably couldn't win against her or Ed anyways but it was her choice.  I didn't want to push her to do anything she didn't want to do.  
Anyways, I know all game, I've remained UTR and was never the target.  I at least don't think I've had any enemies, I tried to be as honest as I can when you all speak to me.  I played this game really calmly and laid back and generally that's just my personality too.  I cannot play this game and not have my personality reflect in it, I am really just a laid back, down to earth person.  Also that, I found that I played this game on my own, I never was part of some real alliance not until closer to the end. I just worked along side with people who I trusted and thought could benefit me.  I was never offered to be in any group alliances.

But when I wasn't winning challenges, there was a lot of behind the scenes action going on to save myself. Can you say you the same for you? When you didn't win a challenge, were you like "Darn, oh well, next round!" or were you "So I completely lost that challenge, what can I do to make sure that I stay?

Of course, when I couldn't win a challenge, I'm always paranoid about if I could go on the block or possibly be a back door plan.  That's always going through my head.  So I'm always trying to talk to the right people and figure out whats going on, whose going up dadada, and if I don't hear what I want to hear, I try to sway the target I that I want to see. And every conversation I have, I try to build some sort of connection.  

Also, I want you to write three facts about each of the the jurors.

Hm, I thought we talked a lot in the first part of the game and tbh, you were one of my favourite people in the game, I remember the first conversation you and I had and I really liked you and actually thought we could work together.  

Anyways: 

Deana:  (We didn't chat too much generally according to all the chats that I have)
-she apparently lives in the same province as I do.
-Is a Canadian 
-And we spoke a lot about Survivor, she was rooting for Marissa. 

Amanda:
-Like Britney Spears!
-Has a strong/funny personality
-Is outspoken 

Judd:
-Works in advertising
-
(Sadly with Judd and I, we spoke more on a game level then personal).

Peter:
-Is a student
-Likes to do photoshop stuff
-Creative 

Helen:
-Okay, looking back I don't think we touched based too much on a personal level, we talked a lot on game and strategy.  During the boxes challenge, I strategized a lot of moves and figuring out what numbers other people had with you.  From game talk, I found you very genuine, you seem like someone like me; and that's why from the beginning I knew that you could have been someone who I would have gotten along very well with and work well along side.  And I thought we did for a short time then we started to drift away.


Rhian:
-She works and is in school
-
-Apparently, we barely spoke much on a general level as well but I felt like I got to know her just based on personality and she grew on me every conversation we had, I adored her.  She was sweet, always exciting to talk to and just overall a fun person to be around with. 

Ed:
-probably the only person here to follow BB australia this season 
-likes Teen Wolf
-is madly in love with the real Ed and wants his babies

Thanks Jade! And you're right we did talk a lot in the beginning of the game but as the rounds went on we got pretty distant probably because I thought you were in on the whole Aussie thing lol! Good luck with the rest of the jury!

[Deana]

Okay, sorry to interrupt this but I never said I am Canadian. I said I'm from Georgia (still not true, but it's what I told people)

[Ed]

cyber_life_xx (8:45:09 AM): at the finale you're not gonna out me to rhian to gain a jury vote are you? haha
Ed Lower (8:45:31 AM): what do you mean out
cyber_life_xx (8:45:42 AM): like
