Janelle's Jury Stuff...

[Janelle Pierzina]

Well, I just want to say Congratulations to the both of you. You two worked hard and achieved what the rest of us couldn't. I'm glad it's you two in the F2 and not a certain someone in the end who would've just been disrespectful to everyone and to the game in general.

Both of you treated me very differently in this game. One of you treated me with respect even though we didn't talk much. The other didn't talk to me at all, never reached out to me for anything and didn't bother to give me the time of day. Despite all that, I am still going to be very objective when it comes to voting. How you answer everyone's questions will determine whether or not you get my vote. I want the both of you to fight for this because I know anyone of us on the jury would have been fighting tooth and nail to have the opportunity that you two have right now.




Nathan: I want to start off by quoting you.

My social game was abysmal

Right there, you said it. To me, being social is a very big part of the game especially when you get into the jury phase. You said in your opening that you had no desire to talk to me. Well I'm glad you're being honest but that doesn't help you out here. Even if we weren't aligned and I was a threat to you, you could've still made somewhat of an effort because here I am trying to decide who to vote for and your speech didn't help you out at all in my opinion. If I was so worthless to your game, well is my vote worthless to you now?

You said that you tried to play a calculating game, but hiding behind Ivette and being her bitch doesn't exactly strike me as being calculating. It sounds a lot like laziness. I understand the strategy behind riding someone else's coattails to get further. They take the heat while you reap the benefits. I get that and bravo to you for working Ivette over so hard but a coattail rider never really has to do much and more often than not, coattail riders don't deserve to win a game.

So Nathan... please convince me that I SHOULD vote for you. Why do you deserve to win over Daniele? What moves have you personally done (without help from Ivette)?



Daniele: I was very impressed with your game. You executed everything well while maintaining a respectful attitude towards everyone. I totally expected to see you in the end. However, having said all that... Don't think that you're just going to automatically have my vote.

You've already said why you deserve to win over Nathan so no need to talk about that again. You mentioned you knew people outside of this game. Now, I'm not a big fan of pre-game alliances. So did you sign up for this game with Kaysar? Do you think that you would've been able to make it this far without prior relationships? Why or why not?
Also, since you seemed to make all the right moves and knew exactly how to treat people, I'd like it if you explained the reasons why everyone is on the jury and how, if at all, could they have gotten to the finals...


Ok, that's it.

Good luck with everyone's questions and I look forward to reading your answers. Thanks

Hey, Janelle! Thanks for all the comments. I really did try and uphold a respectable game towards everyone, because at the end of the day, I would have wanted to be treated the same way by everyone else.

I did join this game with Kaysar with the mind that I wanted us to be in the end together. I know pre-games can be unfair in a sense, but I try to avoid joining with mass groups, and instead just one person. Kaysar had mentioned wanting to join a game together, and this one was taking registration. The majority of people these days join with atleast one person, so I figured that I was just leveling the playing field. I believe that had Kaysar not been here, I still would have a great shot of making the end. My social game would have been ten times stronger and I think that I still could have been a competitive force in the house. My relationship with Nathan would have still carried through and the alliance pitch from Jordan to team up with you and Britney would have also been a huge advantage.

With the boots. Janelle, you were voted out the week you were voted out because Nathan had wanted David out at the start but then his mind changed to you at the last second, with the mentality that you were a stronger player and much more likely to win competitions. David had Ivette and Kaysar on his side at the time, and as an ally of Nathan at the time, I had to stay true to that relationship to further my game. The next boot was Dominic. Dominic was the boot over Ivette, because I believe it just came down to communication. I had actually started talking to Dominic more and really liked him, but I did speak with Ivette more. I know that Dominic had a somewhat close bond with Kaysar and spoke to him and I feel like, Dominic could have somehow taken advantage of that, maybe put together a group - someone he liked with someone Kaysar liked, and that would have been a 4-person alliance. Kaysar, myself, Dominic, and a person of his choosing. That could have probably extended his life immensely.

When I was Head of Household, I nominated David and Jordan. David wasn't someone I spoke to on a daily basis, but I did know that he was close with Kaysar. Jordan was someone I knew, but was also someone that had been getting on my nerves way too much. Putting them both up was my best choices out of everyone left in the game. However, since I did know Jordan a tinge more than David, and she was such a target as opposed to him, it made more sense to push for David to go home, for me. I think that David, like Dominic, could have really set something up with the Old Breed, ins ticking together, mainly Ivette and Kaysar, seeing as at the time Kaysar and Ivette got along, that would have then isolated Nathan and made him lower on the totem pole as opposed to David.

When you returned to the game, Janelle, like any game of Big Brother, people were kind of automatically locked on you. You were a threat in your first run in the game, won your way back, so your target engorged a little bit more. When Jordan stayed, she proposed the idea of us three working together, giving it another go, and I was ready to do that. However, after the incident with Kaysar and you, it became a total game changer, and I knew that you were against my number one ally. With Ivette irked at you, that meant that Nathan followed her like a puppy, and everyone was set on getting you out of the game. I think that out of anyone on the Jury right now, you had the best chance of making the end had that alliance of myself, you, and Jordan came to fruition.

With Ivette stepping up her game and winning when she needed to, she then took out Kaysar, who was my number one ally. However, instead of losing hope after not winning Part #1, I still went forwards and ended up winning the last two competitions. It was alot of determination and perseverance, and mainly wanting to shut down Ivette's ego, that really drove me to want to win the final Head of Household. With the eliminations of Britney and Jordan .. Britney had such a big chance of making the end. She seemed to be UTR and not alot of people were targeting her. Had she not been eliminated, she could have gathered up some wins and made it to the end. As for Jordan, well, the way she acted towards Julie was disrespectful and I told her that; she deserved what she got.

Thanks Dani! I know the second question was random. But it did give me some more insight into how you played and how you felt everyone else went out. Thanks


*waits for Nathan*

[Nathan Marlow]

Hey Janie. In my opener I did say I had no desire to talk to you. We never talked to one another and communication is a 2 way road. I did nominate you because of us not talking and after that I just considered you to be a player that would come after me. My guess as to what you would do is what kept me away from you... whether true or false. You had a good reason to want to come after me. You were flagged as just an opponent of mine.

I would not say I rode Ivette's coattails. Ivette and I helped eachother all game. One of us didnt help the other more... we were a duo. Im not ashamed to say that I needed Ivette in this game. Unlike Dani here... I met Ivette in this game for the first time and made this relationship for the game. It grew and transpired as a relationship should in this game... Dani just came in with a friend and then blocked everyone else out because she was all set.

I do not consider your vote worthless Janie. I respect you as a member of the Jury but while in the game it was just pointless to talk to one another because i never saw anything happening or working for us as a team. I am sure you feel the same way? I played this game from the ground up and I think I deserve to win this game. I did not win every competition... but I also wasnt super nice or super mean. I played a good game in my eyes and I like the way everything came out. Even with knowing Dani previously... I still stuck with a new relationship over her.

[Janelle Pierzina]

You're right. Communication is a 2 way street but I'm on jury and you're in the F2, so it means more now since you didn't want to talk to me based on your own assumptions that I wanted nothing to do with you. Any kind of deal could've been made and I was open to ANYTHING if you were willing but you weren't and I understand that.

You did bring up good points though and it gave me more to think about so thanks for your answers, Nathan.
