Final 2

Amber, I wasn't planning  to take you to F2 because how Buddy helped me to where I was. Plus I felt you may have ppl in the jury who would vote for you to win.

I appreciate the honesty Tonya.

I honesty don't think I was kissing ppl, I was basically was trying to show my love and I wanted to use emoji's but it failed. you are right, I did kinda stop playing the character in which I'll explain why I chose the character in the end.

So I was been honest and very upfront to most ppl. Buddy hasn't. I mostly frontstabbed ppl, Buddy backstabbed ppl. I have been truthful in most of the game, Buddy hasn't been truthful in most of the game. Buddy didn't really stand his own ground in most of the game and I did in most of the game. So I think I deserve to win over Buddy because I did all of these things with my full chest while Buddy didn't really do these things. Even if he did, he didn't really that much.


I know it did annoy ppl that I may have done to much of the loving and the suck up, but I am so glad you are all telling me this because I know now I should not be doing this and if it did cause my game then I will own it. Tonya, again thank you for being honest with the statements.

I don't mean to sound harsh and you did a great job! You should be proud of how you played. I'm sorry if I came across really mean, it was just me getting things off my chest. At the end of the day you still outlasted us all.

The truth is Yes, I would of cut Amber Tonya because how we both helped each other to go to the end. He really helped me to take me to where I am and I helped him to where he is too. I don't think I was winning either way and I would rather lose to Buddy than to Amber only because how we met late while Buddy and I worked our way to the end.

I have no idea why you would think you would've lost to Amber. I think you would win. lol

Tonya,

You don't need to be sorry haha. I'm so glad you said everything with your full chest cause I really needed to hear that cause I think you are saying quit the love game Courage. You need to be mean and petty. Sometimes it's hard for me to be mean because I do have that fear of creating enemies. So that's why I may have acted like that in the game which now after some of y'all mention, I just looked back at how I was and was like WHYYYY haha. I felt Amber had so many ppl in the game and I think that's why I thought I felt she was gonna win over me.

You thought completely wrong, I literally was doing homework all the time unfortunately

I don't think you need to be MEAN. I think you can just be more matter of fact and stern about moves you make. You don't need to shower everyone with compliments all the time. That's all I mean.

Next time if I play another game, I promise to take all of this advice and will learn it, in fact, I'm gonna take notes right now lol. Learning is what makes me look stronger.

Quote :

Regarding Beyonce, I'm not entirely sure how we clicked up, I know I reached out to her and we made a room together but it was just natural. I don't want to speak for her but I know Dom's exit speech / expose had her looking at some people differently. I really should give credit to Dom because I do think her laying out all those alliances, none of which I was involved with really helped me lmao. I know Beyonce said she no longer trusted you or Sandra as much because of your names being overly saturated in so many of those rooms. Whether she was just telling me that or truly believed it, I'm not sure.. but I think that's actually how our room started because I reached out and said use me as an ally, I'm not in any of those rooms that just got exposed, I'm loyal, etc. We went over a lot of strategy and she just became the person I talked to the most. I know she was still playing her game and had conversations with others, but I would like to think that her telling me ahead of time about bowing out of the game & sending her coins to me would mean that it was completely reciprocated trust. If there's anything else you want to know or more specific details let me know. Thank you Tonya you were a monster of a force this season lol

and THIS is why I made it a mission to help Caillou return because I was so mad at Dominique for singling me out and sabotaging my game for no reason. I wanted to block her from returning (hayyyy gurl xoxo)

Anyways, Buddy congrats on making it here. You played the game I wish I was going to play. I went into this season hoping I really didn't need to have to win as many challenges as I ended up needing to win and kind of show my challenge prowess closer to the end in the way that you did. Good job!

Congratulations to the both of you.

I want to apologize if my eviction speech was a bit harsh. But the two of not only proved me wrong, you both dominated the end game. I’m so impressed with the both of you and I’m really uncertain with who I’m going to vote.

My question at the moment, for both of you is, what one move do you think defines your game the best? What was the one highlight of your game that proves you are the top contender?

Congratulations again, I’ll be watching and listening

Haha it's all good Caillou, at the end of it, it's a game.

I want to say the game move that defines my game the best was evicting you the 2nd time cause when you told me about how Viola was gonna win and that you will help to take me to the end along with Buddy, I said to myself, you know what I should take that advice, but I'm gonna see what will happen once I evict you, so I did and then after you left, I managed to get out Sandra by giving Buddy the BBQ coins for him to become Mystery HOH. Then managed to get Viola out then Tonya leaving in the hands of Buddy. Then made it to where we are after you said that we will not make it unless we take each other. You are the reason why my move was define my game as the best.
The one highlight that proved my game to be the top contender was when I won HOH after Sandra left and put up the 2 biggest threats which was Tonya and Viola. I knew those 2 will win and those 2 played an amazing game so I had to make sure that one of them left. Since then, it really made me became a stronger person and to where I am sitting right now which is here.

I actually do want to say something that I want to get out of my chest and I would say this will be my final statement.

I know you all may think like I maybe sensitive on myself or I may be a kiss up and send to many loves and to much apologizes, but I want to come forward and say that I do have a struggle on how to be myself or how to love myself. I'm not saying this for attention, I'm saying this cause this really caught my eye especially during the jury questioning and I need to open up. Sometimes I believe the whispers in my head that ppl may not like me and that's why I get all scared and go out and be all sorry and show loves cause I sometimes believe the whispers, but I need to stop believing them cause what you all wrote proved that I need to stop with all of that.Not gonna lie, I am emotional writing this cause I think some of you really helped me with these jury questions. Not only me loving this show is the reason I chose to play, I chose to play so that I can finally find my love again and it really did helped me. This game has been really fun especially the fact this is my first time playing this online game. I have played other online games, but throughout all the games that I've have played, this game really helped me.

I chose Courage not only because I am scared, cause someone told me that I have the strength, the courage, and I am really brave. I know I didn't do that a lot in the game, but I know I act like Courage outside of the game.

To the jurors, I am not mad about the comments you made, cause you made me became a stronger person. I will not be mad if you don't vote for me cause at the end of it, I am very proud to reach to where I am which is the end and I did such an amazing job and will say this was the game that I felt I did so amazing on.

I wanted to get all of this out of my chest because I want to let all of the past go and everything such as the whispers and become a new person so I don't want to hear I'm sorry cause you don't need to be because you really helped to build and build my confidence back and you woke me up.

Arisa, DW, Billie, and Saoirse, thank you for putting such this amazing piece because this really did help and redeem myself to be a stronger person.

I will continue to answer jury questions and in the meantime, Buddy Good Luck.

Congratulations Buddy and Courage on making final 2. You guys both played a different game!
My questions for you guys is tell me why we shouldn’t vote for the person sitting next to you?
Also tell me something that you like about each jury members?

Lori:

I'm not really interested in tearing down Courage's game but I suppose I would say don't vote for Courage if you wanted to cast your vote for (in my opinion) a more well rounded game, as I believe that's me.

Regarding something I like about each juror... at the risk of sounding ass-kissy i'll just be honest;

Amber - beyond sweet & honest. straight forward but not in a rude blunt way. i wish we connected earlier because she's very nice and i think has the potential for a killer social game, but this game just happened at a bad time for her.

Eli - Eli wasn't afraid to get down and dirty. His endgame strategy (apparently) once Tonya was out was to backstab myself & viola, and get us out which in my opinion was the absolute correct move for him and his game. I respected that he was down to do what he needed to do for himself.

Tonya - Obviously everyone knows Tonya was a beast and probably the biggest force of the season. She won the first HOH, out the gate swinging (something I couldn't do) and still pushed to the endgame which is incredible respectable. Great strategist and competitor.

Sandra - Sandra scared me the most in comps. Slightly more than Tonya. When she went from "I don't know hot post a gif" to then winning every round in like 4 seconds, I think that was when I knew I wanted her out before Tonya. We never clicked or connected in the game but I respect she didn't reach out to try and schmooze me. She played a straight forward game which I respect.

Viola - Viola was unapologetically herself. She wasn't afraid to clap back at someone giving her attitude which I thought was funny. She wasn't fake and didn't kiss ass. Linking up with her gave me a second wind in the game that I needed and I know I probably wouldn't be here without her. I loved strategizing with her because she was logical and easy to talk to.

Caillou - Caillou is who I am most excited to see who they are. What an odd character choice but Caillou was such a well rounded player. Great at competitions but also a strategist and an amazing social game because he was (to me, at least) one of the nicest people I interacted with over the season. The way he went out still was one of the hardest eliminations for me of the season.

Cassie - Very sweet, a great ally. I'm not sure if she got busy or something but we kind of drifted in the last couple rounds and just didn't interact much, but in the earlier stages she was a great ally to bounce ideas off of and wasn't afraid to tell me what she really thought.

Jay - Wasn't afraid to get messy. He was all over the place and aligned everywhere which is such a risky and messy way of playing, a way I don't think I could ever do but I respect he dove into the game head first and really got into it. I think he probably had major potential to win the season, I definitely never expected him to get the boot pre jury - he aligned himself very well for awhile there.

Lori - You were the one person I wish I interacted with more. We didn't click up at all really until the round of your boot. Once we actually exchanged information and opinions on things I realized that it was a mistake for us to not be working together, as we pretty much had the same opinion and plans for things. If you had won the battleback I would have locked in with you immediately. Definitely feel like you were robbed a bit and shoulda made it further.

&

Courage - Courage was just a pure soul. Never really lied, always told people how he was voting straight up, had an excitement and a passion for the game which was fun to watch, and an amazing ally. My best game gamble was reaching out to Courage to lock in a bond.

The game move that I think best 'defines' my game was reaching out to Viola & Courage once I realized Tonya wasn't really as locked in with me as I thought she was. In my opinion it showed a sense of game awareness that's required to succeed, because in games like this you need to know when to pivot and adjust your positioning, and when to move full steam ahead with certain people. Had I never been the first to reach out to them I don't think that bond would have started to establish and I don't think the momentum of the game would have shifted like it did.

The one highlight/move I think would be when I planned to go for the mystery HOH. I had to recruit coins from multiple people to afford it, thus proving I had built trust with multiple people, I played it at the perfect time, it bought my entire alliance an extra week on a round where more than likely one of us would have left, and it didn't really come back to bite me in the ass like it very well could have.

hey guys, congrats on final 2 and sorry I'm late. Your speeches were great and answered any questions I had other than 1. Good luck to both of you!!!

If you could go back and do one thing differently what would you do or do you have no regrets about the game you played?

Votes are due by 7pm EST
