Well guys this game has been like a roller coaster for me since pretty much day one. I came into this game wanting to play different then I did the first time around. Last time I went in guns blazing and this time I knew that wouldn't work. I aligned myself with Kim and DD before the game started. Ill admit I did it more as to use them as shields to advance myself further in the game. I wanted to be more UTR this time to avoid the negative attention I received from Elyse, Brandon, and Christa the last time. So I planned on playing a heavy social game and tried at least get to know everyone on some level personally so I could get a good feel for everyone and how they were playing. By day 5 I was pretty much mentally checked out after the Brandon blindside I felt very alone. But of course we should always expect the unexpected in sausage and that is when I started working with Vee and Sydney day 6 at 5am in the morning. Playing a social game really helped me filter through the pre merge duration of the game. Thanks to aligning with strong strategic and physical players I joined the ropes alliance. Which as most of you guys know controlled the pre merge stage of the game. And despite what you may think I had a lot more say in who went home and in what order even though I found it easier to just give DD her way. Most of the time those chats ended with Vee and I pissed off and DD being a tyrant.
The way she acted is partially the reason why the ropes alliance shattered. Because Vee and I felt like even though DD would agree to do things our way she'd make us miserable in the process. So needless to say I wasn't surprised when Kim got voted off because she was kind of DD's lap dog pre merge and caved to her every want and desire. Her leaving left me in an awkward but good spot. I kinda figured most people viewed me as Kim's pet but tbh I never was and have never been her pet ever in a game. So the first time she was voted out I felt such relief because everyone was talking to me and offering me deals. I was in a much better position going into merge until Kim came back.
When Kim came back it was like the chatter stopped other then A few people no one really talked to me. It was like oh Kim's back lets all put our brains in jars and give them to her. I am sure that's not how you all were playing but that's how I felt at the time. Round after round I waited for someone to be like let's vote out Kim or DD but no one was doing that besides Candice. So I carefully plotted and finally the double boot came. Everyone knew Sean had gotten an idol and gave it to Judd. I am pretty sure everyone knew anyways it seemed that way. Judd having the idol and Kim saying he threatened her with it made Kim and DD want him out which was perfect for me cause I felt like all these 'minions' Kim and DD had would of screwed me over before they screwed them. So then Vee and I pushed for Kourtney to leave as well as Judd. I personally wanted Kourtney out to free up Sydney and I knew by Kim and DD doing it that it'd cause a rift between the three of them which is what I needed. I wanted the "power" players to take each other out. And so the next round I went to Sydney and flipped on DD and Kim
The reason behind it? While I love each of them personally I didn't like how they treated their friends (not me) in the game. They exploited friendships and felt it was fun to blindside them. And while I myself am guilty of it this game there really was no other way but to blindside them and not tell them. Then I slowly began helping take out all the rest of Kim and DD's alliance because at that point Shawna made it very apparent she didn't want anything to do with Vee and I. My intention initially was to flip back and work with Shawna and Chase and bring Candice along with me. Tho I will say I'm glad things went the way they did cause I respect and adore Sydney a lot.
At 7 we thought Chase would go but of course Sydney had other plans cause it leaked Candice wanted her out. So at six when Sean came to me I swayed him to mine and Vees side with Vees help of course and we initially were gonna take out chase but Sydney was acting funny much like she did when Candice left. So we changed our votes last minute to Alex which is who I wanted to go over Chase anyways for how badly he burned Candice. The reason we strung Sean along was because for me personally I enjoyed his company and because I knew Sydney couldn't try and control the end of the game. I wanted us to come here on mutual turf. I didn't want anything crazy happening at f5 or 4. Which it could of had we not utilized Sean at 6 to get out Alex. Then after that the three of us had a heart to heart and we just ran it to here.
I will say I was more a behind the scenes player this season because had I been an in your face player I'd be sitting between DD and Kim on the jury. By no means was I anyone's minion I had my own way of doing things and just because Vee and I always worked together doesn't make me her lap dog. Though you are entitled to your opinions and I can respect that I just wanted to throw that out there. And thank you to everyone in the game for making this a fun game to play! It's made me fall in love with orgs all over again when I thought I was done with them! I look forward to your questions and you can expect honest answers to them. Best of luck deciding who should win!
