Making the F2 is something everyone wanted when they joined the game. I wanted to make the finals because its very rare that I ever do... to have made it to the end of this game is a big accomplishment for me.
In this game I layed low and tried not to put a target on myself in any way. I stuck with the Old School side at the start of the game and made a connection with Ivette and Kaysar early on. My main ally in this game was Ivette. The round that I became HOH, Daniele revealed herself to me as someone I have played with in the past. I used this connection so that she would have my back and I hers. This alliance helped both of us in the game. But since I was in power, I was able to have her come to me and reveal herself. This was an important week because it was also the week that the game changed and I got out someone I saw as a threat in the game (Janelle).
My alliance with Ivette was something I pushed for because she would always be a bigger target over me. Ivette having a loud mouth and big personality allowed me to stand behind her in the shadows as I thought of ways to personally get to the end. While she was getting the heat... I was advancing to the end. It sounds like Ivette and I used each other and in a way we did. She used me for my trust and my connection to Daniele and Kaysar and I used her because she would always be the one to go over me... if she and I ended up on the block together.
I tried to play a very honest game and I think I did. I did not lie to anyone and I think that is what made Ivette and I a good team. We both spoke our mind but it benefited me more in a way because she was louder and more obnoxious over it. I do think that my opponent here tonight Daniele was also an honest player and probably got her hands alot less dirty in the game. But what does Danieles game have that mine doesnt? Pointless competition wins for no reason? I tried to play a calculated game. The reason that Daniele lasted so long was because I knew her previously and Kaysar knew her. All she has to show for is her competition wins and pre game with Kaysar.
I didnt sign up for this game with anyone. I signed up by myself. I met Ivette in this game and hit it off with her. my downfall in that way is that I stuck with Ivette and on the side with Kaysar and Daniele and didnt go talk to anyone else. After I nominated David I knew the guy hated me, I never spoke to Dominic because I didnt see a reason to, Britney was never online to talk to according to Ivette, and Janelle was someone I took out and didnt really have any desire to talk with her when she came back because I knew I could and would probably have been a target of hers. My social game was abysmal but I think that my strategy with aligning with the right person, taking advantage of connections, and winning when I think it was right... all helped me get here to the end.
