I don't know why that is the title of my questions tbh, but hey.
I want to start off by saying congratulations to both of you. You both did what us six jurors could not do. Both of you had a very different gameplay and I still have to figure out which one I like better.
In Big Brother, communication is critical.
Nathan, you didn't see a reason to speak to me? I don't think Daniele had a reason to speak to me either, but she made an effort to open up communication lines between her and I.
Now for questions.
1. I want you two to give us a grade. A, B, C, D, or F on each juror's gameplay.
2. Why does the other person deserve the vote more than you do?
Again, you both did a good job in getting to where you are now and my vote will be based on how you guys answer my question and everyone else's questions.
Dominic out.

Hey, Dominic! Thanks for your comments. As you said, regardless of our relationship in the game, and how we weren’t really in an alliance, I still had the courtesy in talking to you and engaging in conversations with you while online. In my opener, I stated that all Nathan did was sit behind Ivette and then occasionally talk to Kaysar or myself. He stated in Janelle’s answers that he built his game from the ground up .. but in all honesty, he built the base and then just rested there. He didn’t keep building; he stopped at Ivette, Kaysar, and myself. I branched out far more than he did with you and Janelle for example, regardless if I had a pre-made companion in Kaysar. He’s warping his game to make it seem like he had to do so much more to get here, when that’s complete bologna.
Dominic – Grade: C. I’ll start with you, Dominic. The reason I’ve given you a ‘C’ is because I see it as the average grade, and I thought you were average in the game. I hope you don’t take offense to that. I thought that while you were in the house, you weren’t in a terrible position, but you also weren’t in a great position either. You fell into the middle of the pact. The round you left, you weren’t supposed to be the one to go. But with Britney winning the Power of Veto, that changed everything; Ivette being a louder player and much more of a target and nuisance in the sense that the others left wanted her in the end over you because she’d be an easy defeat.
Britney – Grade: D. Britney seemed like a good enough player, good enough that she was on my radar throughout portions of the game. She was an UTR-type of player, but seemed to step up and win competitions when she needed them – mainly the round that both you and her were nominated, Dominic. That round, she sealed your fate and saved her own game life. The reason I’ve given her a ‘D’ is because while she appeared to be a threat and to be a great player, I can’t help but assume that she must have been busy during the game. She wasn’t online all that often and she ended up losing a quarantine challenge when I totally expected her to win it and stay in the game.
David – Grade: C+. Are we allowed to give plusses? Lol, if so, then I’d give David a C+. Like you, I felt that he wasn’t in a terrible position, but not in a great position either. His reason for the plus is that he had a good enough relationship with Kaysar, that his target wasn’t as big as anyone elses. Him being with Kaysar, meant that he was okay with Ivette and he was okay with me. David had a slightly grander web of options in the game. However, when it came to getting rid of someone, it made more sense to evict him from the game over Jordan, for me, personally. While I can’t stand Jordan and don’t respect her at all, as Head of Household at the time, and as a friend to her at that time, I felt that keeping her in over David was more beneficial to me as opposed to keeping David in the game.
Janelle – Grade: B. Janelle was probably my scariest opponent in the game. I think I only really feared her in this game as someone who could potentially take me out. She was good in competitions, she seemed nice enough, she was social enough to get things moving for her .. and she was total competition to me. I’ve given her a B, because while she left under Nathan’s reign for being a threat, she still fought her way back into the house to give it another go. However, after an incident that happened between her and Kaysar, and her showing her cards that she was going to come after him and that she knew certain things, it changed the game; it caused me to back out of the alliance idea of myself, her, and Jordan, but it also gave her a target as Ivette and Nathan wanted her out as well.
Kaysar – Grade: B. Kaysar definitely gets a B. I think that while he was a great ally and trustworthy to me, he was also marked as the ‘devil’ for fair reasons. His backstabbing to David was a shock to the house, but it just went to show that Kaysar would do whatever it took to try and make it to the end. For that, I think that deserves a good grade. However, to lie to an ally for no reason, knowing they’ll be on the Jury, I think that’s just poor Jury perception, and that’s why he’s not getting an A. His downfall began the round he voted out David, and he began to make enemies with Jordan, with Janelle, and with Ivette .. and his whole game was crashing down.
Ivette – Grade: F. I contemplated on this one a good deal. While Ivette did amazing at winning the first Veto when she was nominated, and then winning everything in the Final Four to break up Kaysar and I .. she was terrible with communication and social skills. She stepped up to the plate, won the crucial competitions she needed to survive and advance herself .. but her god awful personality gives her an ‘F’. I was thinking of giving her a D, but the things she said, with no filter, were ridiculous and absolutely insane. What I want to know, and I’ve thought about this, did Ivette really think she could convince the Jury to vote for her to win – after everything ? I really don’t think so.
If I’m being completely honest right now, Dominic, Nathan does not deserve to win over me. I know that the question asks why he should deserve to win .. but the reality is that he doesn’t. He did nothing in this game that was big or crucial .. nothing. The only thing I can think of is his wanting to take out Janelle at the last minute, regardless of his ill personal feelings for David. That’s the only time I ever saw him make a real, strategic decision in this game. And even after that, I’m sure a lot of the influencing came from Ivette as she loved David and probably didn’t like Janelle all too much. Nathan did not play this game. He was sub-par. But I guess just to humor you, I will say that Nathan deserves to win over me, because he managed to sit back and do nothing, rely on his personal relationship with me, obviously throw the final Head of Household, and know that I would take him to the end.

1. Dominic: D. Sorry man but I didnt see you do much in the game. You didnt win any competitions and you didn't fight very hard to stay in the house the week you went up on the block. Dani can sugar coat whatever she wants but this is the way it came across to me. I never spoke to you Dominic because you never spoke to me.
Britney: D. Haha these grades are coming off bad but I am just doing it how I saw you guys in the game. Britney did not talk much at all in this game. When people could not talk on AOL we did talk over PM but even then it was hard to talk to Britney through PM messaging. It just seemed that Britney did not want to play or be here.
David: F. I did not think David was a good player in this game. He jumped to conclusions too much and most of the time they were wrong. He was never on for the live competitions and he just did the minimum amount when everyone else was doing all they could. I thought he played a bad game and I didn't respect it.
Janelle: A. I didn't talk to Janie as much in the game but there is no use in denying that she was a force in the game and if she stayed could have gone far. Turning my attention to Janie when I was HOH was smart because she was a good player and when she came back I felt the most nervous I felt in the game. She had to go back to the Jury.
Kaysar: C. I think that Kaysar had a good game but his moves he made against people that trusted him did not benefit him in the game... his move against David importantly. Ivette made it known to the house that he was not to be trusted and if he could backstab David he could backstab anyone else no matter who it was...
Ivette: A. Hahaha yes I am giving Ivette an A no matter how she looks at me. Like I said I am grading how I saw everyone in the game from my POV. Ivette was a loyal player to me which gives her the A. She showed me loyalty and was also protective of our alliance. She was good to have in the game for me because she had my back and I had hers and I appreciate all her help to me in the game. Without her it would have been tough.
2. Daniele deserves your vote over me because she spoke to you and I did not. I am sorry for not talking to you Dominic but I was just trying to play a game without the lying or fake smiling to peoples faces. I did not see a point to message you and act like we got along when I had no intentions of sticking with you or making any real deals with you. If you wanted to chat non game then you coudl with anyone else but when it came to the game you and I did not cross pathways. If that is what costs me your vote then I am sorry I didn't pretend to want you around.
