Wowzah. As always, Brandon, thank you for a great game. What. A. Clusterfuck. I think we can all agree on that. As always your twists and your bitch ass mind railed us for over a month, shit is it two months now? Dont even know, but thanks! Without you, none of us would have experienced the crazyness of All Stars 2. And to you all jurors, and the two lovely ladies next to me, thank you for... well one of the most frustrating games I have ever played ;P I've learned a lot, and made some great friends <3
Now that all the mushiness is over, lets get real. I am not a huge fan of big ass opening statements. I'm sure you guys have in mind how i've played, and have questions to dig deeper. I will say, just, what the fuck of a game. I've been playing forrrr i think a year and half ish? Off and on because of school, but this game was by FAR the most frustrating for me. Coming into this game, other than people from my original season, i knew one person, Savage. Once aims came about, and some alises were exposed i found i knew Jay, Courtney, Alicia, and Brian. All of whome i know, but I wouldn't say were 'bff' status. Well Savage and Alicia maybe, i've worked well with both before, but have also betrayed them both before. My point here, is that i basically came in with no pre-existing friendships that would hold no high importance to my decision makings like maybe the other two sitting next to me. I think this is a big factor to why my game is different. I felt like i kept getting hit after hit. First with Vecepia and Ciera being voted out. After what, two rounds i was the sole New World rep left. My top two allies were probably Ciera and Vecepia at the time. Hell Vee and I applied for New World together and were partners making final five together. Her going first was so upsetting. I distinctly bitched to Brandon that I was so screwed from the get go.
However, i think i buckled up and played a damn good social and strategic game pre-merge. Maybe one of the best moves I had a big hand in, was saving Brian who was supposed to be voted out over Carter. I rarely ever get along with Carter, and Brandon, being the utter bitch he is knew we were enemies and placed us together on a tribe. But I did my best to rally votes to keep Brian. Granted i was not the only person who had a hand in that, but boy was i a big contributor in my opinion. My tribe then, after the swap too, mostly kept winning so there wasn't much to do other than work relationships with Brenda, Savage, and Morgan. We formed a decent alliance.
Then the merge hit and thats when things really started going south for me. EVERY round from final 13 to final 9 i did not get my way even though what i was pitching to my allies was the smartest thing to do. I rallied HARD for Silas to go over Jefra. And look how that helped EVERYONE. I told yall Silas was a crazy bitch, BUT NOBODY LISTENED TO ME. Then i wanted RC out over Ethan. I knew she had an idol and that she was a hidden threat. NOBODY LISTENED TO ME, and look where she is now. I wanted to keep Brian over Courtney, and to my allies that was a good thing. My allies being Jay and Morgan and Malcolm. YOU DIDNT LISTEN TO ME SHE VOTED OUT MALCOM THEN VOTED OUT MORGAN TO TIE AT 8. It was so frustrating round after round i wasn't being listened to yet what i was saying was almost 100% accurate all the time. This was even a bigger frustration around f9/f8 when i realized Brenda and Jay were telling eachother everything and likely had a finals deal. NOBODY LISTENED TO ME. I tried SO FUCKING HARD to get Jay out at 7th over Silas, which i had Bob ready to do, however Morgan would not budge and would not vote for him, 'Jay wont vote me next round, but Silas would' Yet next round, Jay votes Morgan. Kept telling people Brenda was with Jay, then at final 5 Brenda decides to vote me, instead of breaking up Jay/RC, and Jay/RC make a move that i started to boot Bob hurting Brenda.
I know things didnt go my way. But there are things i did do that deserve me a win. I was very aware, and i think my social game was on par if not better than the others. I never let anyone control what I did, which could be debated for the other two. (granted you all probably think i was Morgan's bitch, but i did not vote with her the majority of the beginning of the merge. I even had votes to get out Jay without her at one point, but then Silas disappeared. So no, i did not blindly follow her) And even though i constantly was in the minority of like half the votes, I had a group of people who i dont think would have voted for me. Morgan, Bob, RC i think until she had to pick me or Jay and maybe even Silas to name a few. I had a rough road here, but I overcame a lot of shit to get here. Even after my big ass tempter tantrum at final 6 because nobody would vote out Jay, i still managed to weasel my way out of that terrible situation and come out on top.
Shit, this was longer than i wanted it to be, but basically I tried to make smart moves, but everyone around me just wouldn't listen, either because they were friends with the other cast members outside the game (Brenda, RC and Morgan to Jay) or because they just couldn't see what i was saying. i'm ready to be torn apart for being a follower or a goat and im excited to try and show you guys differently!
Goodluck Brenda/RC <3
