To sum up my game, I think I played hard in three core components and thats why I'm sitting where I am today - my comp wins, social game play and making moves. Had I not played as hard as I did in all three parts, I think I would have been voted out earlier on for being too much of a threat.
I won ten comps, to keep myself safe every week and to prevent those I was targeting from winning and putting me up. It definitely made myself a target particularly towards the latter half of the game and I think that's when I really had to rely on my social game to keep me in the game.
I joined a core Kensington alliance and stuck with them the whole way through the game. I had plenty of opportunities to flip but I was true to them and kept them safe every opportunity I could. I made side alliances with Danielle, Sabrina and Peter and worked on them as extra votes for when I needed them and I utilized my relationships with them to keep myself and my allies off the block. For those who I weren't allied with, I tried to not make empty promises to them so as to not piss them off as much. I tried to be open and honest as possible, you knew where you stood with me based on the replies I gave when we talked.
I made moves all season long -- not only to stay around but also because it put me in a better position for the coming weeks. I planned the entirety of Kaitlin's boot by fudging the veto, I kept Jen on the block despite knowing about the week 4 double eviction because I know nobody would vote her out over Jocasta, I pushed for everyone to nominate Eric and Steven once I heard they were gunning for me in BBUK week and I cut Danielle and Sabrina even though I'd been working with them and had them promise me a F2. I went hard and made big moves, some of which could have gone horribly wrong but I calculated the risk vs reward and only went for those I knew I could pull off.
So ultimately, I think a combination of my competition whoring, social strategy and move making is what got me here -- for the most part I think I had a good balance of all three and that is what helped me to control a lot of this game. I worked my ass off to get myself here tonight and I hope you can see that through my statements and answers. I'd appreciate you rewarding me with your votes tonight and thank each of you for playing this season, I found it really enjoyable playing with you all
