Hey, everyone! Well, here we are. After a long game with a few surprising twists along the way, we're finally at the end of it all. I know that for me, personally, it's been a crazy ride and I'm both happy and sad that this game is coming to an end. Let me first just say that Nathan's entire Opening Statement is as close to bullshit as it gets. He states that all I have to offer to the Jury is my competition record? No, not at all. In fact, my competition wins is what I think puts me one over Nathan. Nathan's game was a watered down version of my own, except I found myself to be heavily involved, far more social, and frequently upfront when it came to certain situations.
How was I heavily involved as opposed to Nathan? Nathan's game was just talking to Ivette. I spoke to numerous people. Nathan sat in his own little box, spoke with Ivette, and the only way that he ever stepped out of that box was if other people contacted him or initiated anything with him first. How was I far more social than Nathan? Simple. I basically just said it. Being heavily involved meant being into the game, knowing what was going on around you, knowing possible alliances. How would I know these things? by being social. I was in no way like Jordan or Kaysar in the sense that I sat on AIM or left my messenger on, but I definitely was on quite a bit. How was I frequently upfront? Even though I had somewhat of a "relationship" with Jordan in this game, I in no way respected how she acted. I told her this. When Janelle wanted to know who was evicting her -- I told her. There was no use in lying. When I finally had enough of Ivette's poor sportsmanship, I called her out. What has Nathan shown in being "upfront". Nothing. He's the guy that sent me his plea to take him to the end through PM. Way to go, buddy.
Forgive me for acting like a bitch, but I don't appreciate the bullshit that spewed out of Nathan's mouth in his speech. For example, his comment made about how I "went to him and revealed" myself? Yeah, no. I actually told him before he won, because I had been contemplating if I should keep it unknown or try and get something started by breaking the ice. Nathan changed that story to help his case -- continue being "upfront", Nathan!
Moving on from him. In this game, I had the hopes of making it far. I did know Kaysar outside of this game and he was my number one ally. I trusted him through and through. I knew who Nathan was, but it was clear that his loyalty was with Ivette, so our alliance was only real to an extent. Lastly, I did know Jordan aswell. However, the deal with Jordan was that she and I didn't agree on anything, so I didn't really see her as someone who could help me in the game. my goal in this game was to perform my best, and I think I excelled in that aspect when it came to competitions. I racked up the most Power of Veto victories this season, and tied with Kaysar for the most Head of Household victories. I'm proud of my wins, and for Nathan to sit around and say that's all I have to offer and that they were "pointless" is insulting. Nothing in this game was pointless. I tried at everything for a reason.
My social game was in no way superb or amazing, but it existed. Most of my conversations in this game were with Kaysar, Jordan, Ivette, and Nathan. Towards the end of the game, I started speaking with Dominic more and i did genuinely like the guy, the same went for Janelle. I think that speaks heaps in comparison to what Nathan showcased in this game. If anything, and I hate to give Ivette any more of an ego boost, but Ivette basically was the man in that relationship. She clearly wore the pants and told people off; what did Nathan do? He hid behind her.
Nathan needs to not bite the hands that fed him in this game. He wouldn't even be here right now had it not been for me taking him to the end. The reason I took Nathan to the end was because we did have a deal and I in no way respected the way Ivette treated people. Why reward Ivette a Final 2 seat when all she would do is rub it in peoples faces? Ivette played well, won when she needed to, but her mouth is what cost her everything. Sorry, Ivette.
I believe that I played a far more cleaner, competitive, and respectable game than Nathan did. I did everything it took to make it to the end, I protected my allies along the way, and I did it in a way that I can be proud. I can say that the majority of my choices in this game were my own, and at the end of the day, that's all that matters to me.
Nathan can't say the same.
