Hey everyone! It's Jen! <333
First, I want to say that It's been great playing with all of you and as much as I tried to enjoy this game.. honestly I really felt this game was "dead" . It was really quiet, I'm used to play ORG games that were more interactive, where people post random stuff on the boards, funny gifs or polls .. not saying it was boring but if you somehow noticed that I was a bit distant that was probably the case ...because it had to do with the length .. which was LONG... this is actually my first longest ORG that I've played...
ok let's get to it
I know some of you are not really happy with this F2, you're probably wondering what did Jen do? what was she doing this whole time? I may have not won many competitions but that doesn't mean I wasn't playing. I played a simple clean cut game, I didn't have to lie to people, or struck deals with people and eventually betraying them. I didn't need to do that, I was brutally honest with everyone, if you were the one leaving and you would come up to me ask me for a vote to keep you.. I would tell you straight up that I wasn't going to keep you in this game, because it didn't benefit me..
aside from Kaitlin (sorry girl I didn't have the chance on AIM to tell you ) but the others.. Danielle I remember I had to tell you that I was voting for you, Steven same thing, when you got nominated next to Peter, I was honest in saying I was going to evict you, and Sabrina at the F4, I gave you the hint that it was going to be a battle between you and Aaryn. So yes I didn't want to BS everyone, I was honest and always kept it nice and classy!
As for the competitions... when it comes down to games that are based on luck.. "guess the answer to this question, how many marbles are on this pot, how many this, how many that" I suck at those.. I'm better at endurance competitions or anything that has to do with spamming, those are what I'm good at, but still I did performed quite well, I came in second place in most of the challenges :
- Round 2 HOH-London letters, I almost won had 5 points out of 7 just behind Zach
- JETSETTER- POV I came in second place right behind Peter, and it took me hours to do that challenge and I didn't know how to use a flight booking site..lol
- London Bridges veto and OTEV , also came in second place and I didn't really need to win, it wasn't a do or die for me
so as you can see, I wasn't a slacker, I did invest some time and energy into this game, I just wasn't vocal about it
Now for the social aspect of this game.. I did really well, I think it's the aspect of this game that brought me this far. I formed good bonds especially with my former Kensington housemates! During the first few weeks I became close to Nicole, Zach, Aaryn and Peter . I had multiple sub alliances with everyone in Kensington. I was not in anyone's radar, and I certainly didn't want to win HOH's back then because I didn't want to ruffle any feathers, I was in a good spot.
Between Westminster and Kensington, sure ..our house was probably boring meaning there were not alot of fights nor drama but that was because we were united. As opposed to Westminster, there was a clear division. I was suspecting a big alliance from the Westminster side, I didn't know who it was but I know I had to gather my housemates on the same page and get rid of the inactives (Rachel & Victoria) and build up an army. So when Aaryn won hoh the week Helen & Jocasta got evicted, I volunteered myself to go on the block because I wanted to reinforce my trust with Aaryn and I didn't want any of us to turn on each other and become divided, because people tend to carry grudges in this game. So I volunteered, it was a risky move.. but Helen got evicted 4-0 ! everyone trusted me <33 and little did I know it was a double eviction.. LOL but still.. I managed to survive <33
At the merge there were few instances where I had to save myself because I haven't really got to know anyone from the Westminster side.. and I got nominated by almost every single one of you loll
the first round when Steven won HOH.. I got nominated .. and during POV challenge, it was the one which Kaitlin ended up winning.. I knew she was going to take those punishments because she was the target, so my main concern was.. who the hell was I going to be sitting next to? So I spoke to Steven on AIM, and from the look of it he didn't want to piss anyone off by nominating someone else.. so I threw Nicole's name up because she was inactive at that time..and it's much easier to nominate an inactive duh lol. I was shocked, I thought somehow Aaryn or someone else was going to be nominated and evicted but instead an inactive went, and I thought to myself ok Kensington can really pull this off!
Second round, Aaryn won HOH and somehow vetoed Kaitlin and in the end Peter got evicted
and I thought to myself oh crap.. this is not good.... we need a miracle at this point Third round, I noticed at the Olympic Gold HOH challenge that Danielle, Kaitlin, Steven and Sabrina were working together which resulted in Danielle winning HOH, I really thought we were doomed, but luckily for the twist that Aaryn claimed (prophecy) we were able to spare ourselves . Kaitlin and Danielle both came to me to get rid of Aaryn, but getting rid of her wasn't going to benefit me, so Kaitlin had to go
Fourth round, Sabrina wins hoh and again I'm nominated lol I decided to work my magic and tried to convince her that getting rid of me was a waste, there were other pairs that she needed to be worried about .. and it worked I got a veto saved on me <33 and from there us Kensington were able to to pick off the remaining Westminster one by one
so...My plea to jury..
I feel played a much simple behind close doors type of game, I wasn't the most vocal, but I worked my social skills with my Kensington mates, I made alliances that protected me. However, when it came down to the merge, I admit I should have bonded more with Steven, Danielle, Kaitlin, Sabrina and Eric because I got nominated by most of you but somehow I deflected the target off my back and I didn't need to win a POV or a HOH competition to do that. I just employed the "as long as it ain't me strategy" I mean that's what this whole game is about right? Your goal is to make sure that your name stays in the clear, and I feel I've executed that part of this game very well!
You don't have to win tons of competitions to make it far, sure it looks good on your resume and it's quite appealing but if you found that hidden door that prevented you from climbing the highest mountain.. then that person is just as deserving as the climber (or threat lol) .. it all comes down on how you see it <33
so with that being said..
I'm looking forward to your questions <333333
