Hi everyone! First and foremost, I would like to thank you all for a very fun game. Kat and Shir, this has been a very amazing game and wouldn't have been possible without you two!
Coming into this game, I knew I wasn't going to be the greatest at competitions. I had to rely A LOT on my social skills. Fortunately, I think I'm very good at socializing with people and that helped me out GREATLY throughout the entirety of this game. Being good at competitions is a characteristic you need to make it through the game, but I don't think it's FULLY necessary. I wasn't the best and here I am!
Weeks 1-5 were very dull for me, I was just going along with what people wanted me to do and whatnot. Week 6 comes along and we're suddenly hit with chaos. During that week I was also moving so I couldn't do much socializing. Apparently I got several PMs from people asking me to either evict Holly or Kristen, but since I was using a crappy phone at the time I didn't see all of the messages. So I just based my vote on who I liked more and I had nooooooo idea this would cause a big split in the house. Being out of the loop like I was that week essentially helped me out in the long run because people saw me as expendable so I tried maintaining in the middle for as long as I could.
From that point, I basically played to survive the CURRENT week as well as set myself up to be safe the FOLLOWING week. Being in the middle of all the chaos made this easy for me since no one really disliked me, I guess. I tried to stay on everyone's good sides to be able to survive the following week, and the week after that, and the week after that blah blah.
So while I wasn't as strong as Frank, I think I did a pretty decent job adapting each and every week and being able to be kept safe every week was what got me here. So yeah!
You guys don't even understand how exciting this is for me, it's my first time making it to a final two in a big brother ORG so yay me! Anyways, I hope none of you hate me TOO MUCH and I'm looking forward to answering your questions. Good luck with your decisions and good luck to my pal Frank!!
