Going into this, I would've never imagined making it this far, let alone the top three. I knew that from day 1, people wanted me out of the game. With mahogany in the game with me, that only made my target even larger.
Thankfully, I made the right choices on who to allign with and made moves that would advance me in this game. Some moves I had to hurt people I considered a friend, but I knew in order to win this game, you had to do whatever it takes. Entering stars, you leave your integrity at the door. I tried to keep mine, but it's difficult, because the game is full of lies and deception. In order to stay alive, you have to lie and deceive.
I knew I had to make a move against mahogany. Day 1 I approached Dav, and kind of hinted at me being willing to get rid of her, if we had the numbers. Day 2, I tried making a final 3 deal with computer and Kmy, but they already had one with Thrasha, and also Robbie and Minsi. I told them all I'd do whatever they wanted, but none of them wanted to here any of it.
Early on, I had to make a difficult decision - nom Drench and Pepper or nom Robbie and Minsi. I wanted to do Robbie/Minsi, since Drench was one of the people I trusted the most, plus, he had a poor stars record, and I knew I could beat him in the final 3. Unfortunately, I had to make a decision, and I had to stay loyal to Robbie, Minsi, and mahogany, a decision which led to my nomination for 7th. It was unavoidable, yet I worked hard to prevent going up. But they would've been stupid NOT to nom me and mahogany. But of us are very strategic players and both of us are well-liked. So I totally respected being nommed. Just not people being so personal, rather than strategic.
I survived, unfortunately for Mahogany, and so I knew I was alone. There was nobody I could trust. I mean, even mahogany didn't want me in the final 3. Nobody wanted to go up against me or Matt in the final 3. So I was constantly a target.
Rhino and Pepper have had eachother's back the whole game. It didn't surprise me to find out they both were safe for 4th place, and I went up instead. Both of them played a similar game - neither of them had the confidence of a winner, so both played low-key and under the radar. They didn't stick their neck out, and pretty much floated for 60% of the game, and when they (those two & Matt) had majority, they targetted the outsiders. There is nothing wrong with that game play- but I believe I played a much better game.
I may have been nommed more than the both of them, but I didn't rely on my popularity, I didn't rely on being a flavor, which I luckily avoided, and I had to fight to stay in the game. I communicated with every single player in the stars 85 cast - all 15 other people. Most of them wouldn't give me the time of day, many of them blabbed about what I said, so I got them up the very next day -looks at dorkish-
I may not be as univerally liked as Pepper and Rhino - I mean, I get it, I like them too, they are both AMAZING young men and are nice people. But this is a game. Stars is about being strategic, connecting to the public, and playing the best game.
I believe I played the best strategic game, I played the best physical game - devoting basically my entire week and risking my job even, so I could play, and playing the best mental game. I have put everything I had into this stars, and I have managed to gain some perspective about life along the way.
Winning Stars 85 would be the icing on the cake and amazing end to a fun-filled time on the site. My time is almost up, but I would love for it to end with a BANG. Please click my button and vote me your winner.
