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?

Thank you Jay,

If I could go back and do something differently it probably would of been be more candid an be more vocal. I pretty much was been to nice you would say and I think after hearing what half the jury said, I need to really start to be more “brave” and start to stand up for myself. I did those things cause that’s how I am cause I am a sweet, kind person. So next time, I will start to stand up for myself.

Ok, it was funny at first and now I’m starting to see that it’s becoming childish. I want to add that whoever is disliking my post especially my final statement, can you pls stop it cause I really think you are just upset that I made it to final 2 and I find it really childish you are disliking the things I said especially the final statement where I am opening up about my struggles. I am doing my best to answer these questions and I’m still new to all of this.

Screw the haterz. Keep doing what you doing, you made it to the end and they didn't.

I sadly can't see who is doing it, but don't let it affect you Courage. You're amazing

Thank you Lori,

I know ppl want to see me get more candid about tearing Buddy down because I've been to nice to Buddy because he really helped me to where I am right now so if I say why Buddy shouldn't win I'll say it's because I was a very up front person and was mostly truthful while Buddy wasn't truthful most of the time and he may did became an up front, but chose not to be most of the time. Now juror wise. I just hope it doesn't sound like a kiss up.


Sandra: A strong comp beast. She is someone I wished I would of played like that cause she dominated game after game. At first I was working with her then the more she won, the more I saw that she became a threat and that she will be tough to get out. I really love how she is passion in the game and always stands up to those she loves.

Tonya: Tonya was another comp beast, but different than the way Sandra played. She was the first one I interact with and gave her the first HOH. When she was called out for making to many deals earlier in the game, I think in my eyes it made her become a stronger person cause she managed to make it to final 5 by winning comps to save herself. I didn't really look at the alliances being called out, I was more interested on how she was dominating comps to save herself and that's why I wanted her out.

Viola: We didn't connect earlier in the game and then we interacted through the half way of the game. She is someone who isn't afraid to call ppl out and that's what I like about her is how she isn't afraid to do those things. She played an amazing social game and her social game did got to the point where the jury was going to vote for her to win so I that's why I toke her out.

Eli: We didn't connect also until when we both realized that we were in the bottom. He brings the energy into the game and makes sure that the game isn't too boring because we don't want a boring season without the energy and the flames. That's the one thing i like about him because he brought what we wanted.

Cassie: Even though she wasn't active most of the time probably because of school or work related, she always want to make sure that everyone feels welcome and that's what makes her a wonderful person. She has a gold heart for others and always want to make sure that they aren't alone and does put a smile to my face.

Jay: Now we never talked at all and the only time we interacted was when we both sat otb. He was someone I wished I would of worked it because I really loved his attitude and he seemed like he would of been a good ally. I honestly thought I was leaving on that week cause how he had great connections, but I thought wrong and he helped me to realize that I was in the bottom and that I needed to get going or else i'm out. So I just want to say thank you Jay for waking me up.

Lori: We didn't talk that much in the alliance that we were in and I thought you wanted me out later in the game which I didn't know why I thought that where really you were after the 2 biggest players. I wish I would of spoken to you more. You are definitely one of the most humble and kind person I have ever met and even though I am humble and kind like you, I think I can act more like you in the game what I was in the game.

Caillou: At first I thought we were a solid until when Dom called out the final 2, I thought you didn't have my back, but then when u came back the 2nd time when you made the Cartoon Connection, I felt that sharp pain in me cause it turned out you were really there for me. Caillou was definitely one of the most loyal person I have ever met where he really care for others besides himself. Also Caillou is the reason why my game became stronger and idk if he knows this, but he really helped me by making sure I proved ppl wrong. Caillou, thank you for making me become a better player.

Amber: Amber and I connected almost at the end of the game. I know she may think that she floated her way to the end, but in my eyes she didn't. She was just busy with school/work. I honesty think she played one of the best layed low games i have ever seen. She wasn't even consider a target. She always compliments me and I think she was the only one that has done that and I want to say thank you Amber for saying those wonderful things about me and I am so glad I finally got the chance to talk to you.

Lastly, Buddy: I honesty thought Buddy wasn't doing to much in the game and I said that I didn't think he deserved to win earlier in the game then when we found each other and made a final 2, boy did he prove me wrong. He really helped me to where I am today which is right here. He always cheers me up, always to make sure i am not down on myself, and is always proud of me of the things I do. You may think I may of been a suck up to him, but overall I wasn't because Buddy really did everything he could to make sure we made it to the end and we successfully did it. I'm gonna watch Elf once this is over.

Oh! I have one more quick question for both of you.

Based on your speeches and answers, it sure sounds like a lot of the girls that I believed to be in my girls alliance were branching out with you guys and it seemed like the girls alliance was actually a non-threat in the game because of that. Why was there such a fixation on this girls alliance when it was clear most of the members of it were likely not even loyal to that alliance. Was it just an active talking point to try to get me and Sandra out of the game?

I can only speak for myself but I never really had a fixation on the girls alliance. I wasn’t sure how legitimate it was, but I kind of soon realized the people in it weren’t fully loyal to it. Of course, when reaching out to make new allies it was obviously a perfect talking point; “Omg we need to stick together to counter it” was easy to do. For my game it was definitely good if people were scared or weary of that alliance.

On the other hand, in the back of my mind I did have the thought of “I don’t think this is really a legit group anymore but there is always the possibility they could regroup and try giving the alliance a second shot since the chat is already made” which would be bad for me, so I definitely didn’t mind pushing the narrative a couple times about the group chat a little harder than what was actually genuine, because it (hopefully) made people want to disassociate with it entirely to avoid being a causality.

Great speeches by both of you!!
Whatever happens you guys are both winners and played an amazing game! Good luck to you both! <3

Very good question. I think it's mainly how couple of ppl told me that this alliance is mainly strong and that they will pick ppl one on one and that's why it may perceive as to why it was a main topic of the season. Lori first told me about this alliance and said how Tonya and Sandra were running things then Beyonce came to me and made it clear that she wasn't really solid with the girl alliance and that it's you 2 who are really taking over the game. Want to add that i do support these type of alliances and I actually really loved that Dom created this. I actually felt that you and Sandra did have a plan to go after the outs such as Viola, Eli, Buddy, and I and that's why we pretty much teamed up because we felt you were solid with that alliance and that you pick ppl off one by one. So that's why it was perceived as to why we were after you cause of what I was been told. Plus Amber told me later that the alliance was just made by Dom and even though I may have felt wrong about you and Sandra, you both were dominating comps and I was still planning to take you both out.

It was actually me that started the girls alliance. I actually suggested the idea to Beyoncé and then decided who we wanted in the alliance.

Lori, you did an amazing job along with Beyonce. I want to give you a applause for making that idea.

Hiii jay. I actually really thought about this and I’m not sure. It’s a tricky question because any one move could have created a domino effect to where I wouldn’t be in the final 2, so it’s hard to say. This isn’t a specific move really but I do wish I got the ball rolling a bit earlier with branching out to different people. It did ultimately work out for me but i could have put it into motion a little earlier

As far as regrets I can honestly say I don’t regret how I played the game at all.
