In my speech for 14th place, I told you guys that there were bigger fish to fry than Joe and I at that point. There were some MAJOR threats in this game that, at first, left me feeling a bit hopeless when the game began. Once I knew that the majority was created and that I wasnt a part of it I knew I needed to create some friendships that would come in handy later in the game.
It wasn't until I was nominated for 14th place that I really realized that if I wanted this game to change, I was going to have to do something I never really have done in stars. Play with my head and not with my heart. I'll be the first to admit I have previously played this game with my heart on my sleeve and can let my emotions get in the way. Lucky for me, when I was nommed, everyone and their mother nommed me so it made playing those people that much easier. Knowing they'd do it again to me in a heartbeat.
The first big move I made was choosing a side. For me, the game was never about "OMG THE OC" vs the rest of us. But when you get down to it, no matter what anyone had to say keeping 4 (ultimately 5) people TOGETHER who had ties to one another was not going to fly. Ryguy and Lemon got nommed and I was instrumental in making that happen because I know they were my biggest competition. I can not and will not, however, take credit for them getting EVICTED. I will also not admit to controlling the game at that point because both of those noms were SPLIT votes.
Secondly, primarily after Lemon was nommed, I had to solidify an alliance with people I knew I could trust. Chaz, Mearl, and Superman. We were essentially "The Island of Misfit Toys" Alliance lol. All of us had been backed into a corner and had already been nommed/saved except for Chaz. I had to have Mearl on my side because I would be a fool to allow such a villain to just exit the game when there was a chance I couldve had him sitting next to me on the final day.
Every set of noms from Tyler/Rippy-Donaam/Superman were noms that I LOCKED IN. I had a firm grasp on this game and I was not letting it go for the life of me. Because of this, I had to lie and nom some people that I genuinely care about ( Computer3000 and Khart92 and later on Chazz, Mearl AND Superman) and that part of the game ate away at me because I WASNT TAKING ANY OF THE HEAT FOR WHAT I HAD DONE. But in the end, to me, that is a success.
Irish vs. Superman1- Nommed Irish.
Ryguy v. Computer3000- Nommed Ryguy.
Mearl v. lemonface- Nommed Lemon.
tyleror v. rippyroo- BOTH my noms.
khart9249 v. computer3000- BOTH my noms.
tyleror v. corey1- BOTH my noms.
khart9252 v. donaam- BOTH my noms
tyleror v. donaam- BOTH my noms
Mearl v. Chazz- BOTH my noms.
donaam v. superman1- BOTH my noms.
(Khart and Donaam...your nominations were NOT a split. Me, Mearl, Chaz, and Superman all nommed you both. Just wanted to clarify that.)
One last thing I want to say is that I know I wouldnt be here without a certain element of luck and circumstance. Ryguy, Lemon, Computer, and Kyle were all evicted and every time I was in disbelief because after one left, the next in line was my "Biggest Threat". Part of me felt guilty because of the Mearl/Spam stuff going on, but I never endorsed or condoned ANY kind of spam and was publicly against it. That being said, of course I was relieved every time I saw my odds increase. And I surely wasn't going to just hand Mearl and Chaz over to the public, even though multiple times I could have.
Vote for me if you agree that I played the best game. In my mind, I am the only one of the remaining houseguests that can say I had any kind of control for a majority of the game. I refused to play this game as a sheep. I never wanted to be a flavor. I played this game as a true underdog who, against all odds, turned it OUT! Your constant support KEPT ME ALIVE, Tengaged. Thank you so much, regardless of the outcome.
GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES...
AND MAY THE BEST...WOMAN...WIN!

Kyle you told me earlier today that I was a great liar. I stand by my statement...if you KNEW EVERYTHING that I was doing, you would've gotten me before I got you. Plain and simple. Ttyl.
