Okay so, this final two is trash we can all agree but here goes nothing. Rhys, you did nothing in this fucking game you floating trash. You stood behind a threat the whole game and expect to get credit for that? You didn't make any moves at all you were a pussy the whole game and wouldn't take out your shield and it's going to cost you the game. Like seriously all the pre jurors deserve to win more than you. Sit the fuck down and enjoy second place. Ryan, you didn't do much either but you did some good things. You actually talked and made relationships which I think is gonna help you win a lot. You didnt make many moves but at least you actually tried. So with that I say congratulations Ryan you have won. In my eyes at least, if the jury doesn't vote you to win and Rhys to lose that's fucked up
So I want to adress my terrible attempt at a first speech. I strongly feel like it is going to be a reason why I loose. So I want to stress some points in my game which owns up to it more , and explaining it to a greater extent.
So first off , let me get Felix out of the way. I aligned with Felix as he was the first person I clicked with , and honestly at the begging of the game after I joined it felt like no one had any intention of aligning with me ( as i assume there were allainces made in the begginig of the game). So I had to look out for myself as I didnt have alot of allies. After it was shown that Felix was a challenge threat , It just was smart aligning with him as I knew he would win competitons. I didnt want to put myself in a position where I would have to talk myself out of going up on the block. So I stayed close to Felix. So I felt safe many weeks. I KNEW I would have no chance of beating Felix in the end. Im not stupid and I could tell that there would be no way to fight my case against felix , expecially as people considered me his sheep. I would have taken Felix out as soon as I could have taken him out(or tried too) after my HOH. Sadly Blake beat me to the chase.
Also another point I want to clarify I wasnt following orders from Felix. If I wouldnt have wanted something he wanted I wouldnt have just blindly followed. I made my decious with my head , not his. For example he wanted Ryan gone after Ben. As there was a tie , I would have been a swing vote. So I didnt blindly follow Felix that week. I knew that Ben was likely coming after me next week(more so than Ryan). He was the most immediate threat to my game at the time. So it wouldnt have made sense to keep Ben.
I did argue with Ben & Matt. However both of them did have purpose and not just for the sake of it. I tried to get off alot of pressure from my back. Ben had just called me out for working with Felix. So I tried to put doubt on him by saying he was the secret HOH , which at the time I thought was true (later figured out it couldnt have been, due to HOH scores of the following week and the facebook messenger app showing friends highscores.) However I needed to try and get people to look the other way for a week or two to try and remain as lesser of a target. I also called Matt out aswell when he had leaked allainces to me and saying anything he could to get Felix on the block. So I tried to put doubt on him , calling out him and Ryan being close , trying to convice people he was untrust worthy. I probably wouldnt have called people out this much and drawn much attention to myself , however I had Felix , which at that point had a target bigger than the moon , so I dont think anything I could have done would have put me as target number 1.
I also want to point out that I made here without facing eviction once. because I simply wasnt in a bad position alot. When I was I managed to win the competions to gaurentee I was safe. It was my first line of defense as I didnt want to leave it up to social & strategic game as that is harder to pull off, as you dont know anything for certain. So I didnt have much situations where I had to talk myway out of a situation. For example I was trying to plant seeds in Blakes head that Dwayne should have gone over Ryan/Me that week as it would have been the best possible way for him to get to the end , as well as me. I think that is because I played a good game , having strong allies who were able to win competions (Felix & Blake), was good for my game. Yes it was lucky the people I was close to could win competiotns , However I knew that , so I didnt get in bad graces with them as I didnt want to try and talk my way out of a bad place. However I dont think I would have been on the block if I didnt have them. I think I would have been able to argue my way out of a situation or convince people to keep me.
Sorry for having a terrible first speech. It was a train wreck and I dont think I explained my game good at all. Hopefully you have sent in your vote for Ryan yet because I would hate to loose purely to a bad speech.
First off, Rhys and Ryan, congratulations on making it to the Final 2. Definitely not an easy task since 14 other people can't say the same. Contrary to popular belief in the jury house I think this is a pretty good Final Two. Anyways, I have a couple comments and a question for each of you.
Rhys: It seems that you heavily relied on your physical game to get you to the Final Two. That's okay, but I'm under the assumption that your physical game was your only game. Your opening speech was a little flat so I'm still confused a bit. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don't think you were a part of some strong lasting alliance that got you here as you were primarily solo like myself before my inactivity. Was there ever a point in this game where you had to maneuver your way out of a tight situation without winning a competition to save yourself? If not, then I have an alternate question: Why were you able to go so long without being nominated by anyone?
Ryan: I knew you were a formidable player which is why I nominated your ass through Roadkill lol! Anyways, I think your opening speech was very strong and it literally explained your thought process week by week which was perfect. You kept your game low-key which was great because I had absolutely no idea about the Core Four or the Vagina Four or whatever it was called. My question is pretty simple for you: If you could pick one person on the jury besides myself (because I wasn't very active towards the end) and Felix that you believe would beat you in the end, who would you pick and why?
Once again congratulations to both of you. I'll be paying attention to how you guys respond to the questions of the other jurors. Thanks for reading.
This is going to be hard for me to write because, as you guys know, I love you both to death. You both mean a lot to me and it's been such a pleasure to get to know two people who were already good friends all the better over the four months of the game. I truly believe the best thing I'll take from this game is being able to call the two of you some of my closest friends in the ORG community, so thank you for being amazing friends. <3
At the same time it's difficult because I busted my ass in this game, I fought so hard and played so aggressively and made some secret moves (surprise! I was the secret HOH). I've never won an ORG before and this was the one that I felt was the one, and to have that taken so close to the end was a bitter pill to swallow, which is why I waited so long to write my speech. I didn't want to vote based on bitterness. Rhys, I promise you that if I vote for Ryan, it has nothing to do with the fact it was your vote that evicted me from the game.
Now, I'm 95% sure who I'm voting for already, but I want to give both of you the chance to change my mind.
RHYS- I'll be completely honest and say that if I was voting based on who I was closer to as a person, you would get my vote. I was looking forward to your speech to see you own this UTR game you were playing, but I was bitterly disappointed when I read it. It was so weak and you really didn't own up to anything. Al your game consisted of, based on your speech, was following the competition threat and then winning competitions yourself. Yes, hiding behind a huge threat is certainly a valid strategy that both you and Ryan employed, and it was very well done to get you to avoid nomination for so long, but it is being sheeped, and I wish you'd owned up to that fact. Yes, being sheeped and maintaining friendships with others (as you did) is a great strategy to keep yourself out of the firing line, but own up to it. Once I overpowered Felix, you basically ran for the hills and abandoned him (again, a valid strategy to keep yourself out of the firing line) and then, to my knowledge, I was your only connection left. The only reason I feel you survived to this point is challenge wins. To my knowledge (correct this if it's wrong), you never had more than one or two allies at once, whereas Ryan had a lot more. While you and Ryan both played the UTR game, Ryan put himself in the position where he was most likely going to F2 regardless (I had a F2 deal with him, you were taking him), so Ryan in my eyes has outplayed you on the social part.
My question to you, Rhys, is:
Why should I consider voting for you when the only reason you got to the end in the first place is challenge wins?
RYAN- Bae, you're an absolute icon. I knew you had this UTR game and you showed it. I think you could have actually beaten me in the end based on that speech. :P You and Rhys played similar games, hiding behind big threats, but what you did was create strong alliances to keep you going by at every stage of the way. First with Felix, then with me and Matt. You knew I'd take you deep and fight to keep you over anyone (first Ben, then Matt) because I trusted you the most out of anyone in the house, and that's a testiment to your strong social game. You've executed the UTR strategy perfectly, in my opinion, to the point where, out of everyone, you were the only one who didn't need to win the final HOH in any scenario. That being said, I do feel you tried to take credit for some of my moves in your speech. You seemed to take a lot of credit for the Max move, which I feel was mostly mine (sorry). I also feel like you're not being 100% truthful in your speech, so I want to ask you one question, no bullshit.
Were you REALLY taking me to the final 2? You and Rhys both seem convinced that I was the biggest threat of the F3. If the answer is yes, aside from the I would have Blantrum'd you in to the next millenium if you'd put me on the jury, why do you feel it would have been the smartest move risking your win to go against someone who you thought was harder to beat?
It’s been……. AGES since we’ve last communicated lmao. I think we can all safely agree that this has been a torturous season for multiple reasons, and I’m happy it’s finally meeting its conclusion hehe. It’s been about 115+ days of slow tiptoeing to this point for me, and now that it’s here I’m pretty shook. I haven’t written many Finale speeches before soooo I hope you get the tea you need from it :-)
Every decision I made was calculated with the intent of maximizing my chances of sitting here in the final 2. I’m gonna walk you through my game from the beginning to the end and show you what my process was~
Now, we all know this has been a really long, strung out game nearly 4 months long, so please forgive me if I am misremembering anything or leave anything out. Please clock me if you think I’m full of shit or if I get something wrong lol <3
I entered the game knowing I wanted to win the first HoH. I wanted the opportunity to build real basis of trust with people, and to at least open a channel of communication with everyone in the house. I truly lucked out that Tetris was the first competition because that is one of my best comps whew. My plan was to be an open book and have as straight-forward an HoH as possible without making enemies and only coming out with positives - which is why I was blunt about going after inactives. I think I said something like “literally just send me a hello and you’re good!!!” and that’s what happened lol.
It worked amazingly. Benj and Derrick were the only two who never approached me, so they were easy choices. Benj won the veto, so I was forced to pick a replacement.
I couldn’t rely on my ‘going after the inactives’ strategy because at this point I had begun a bond to some extent with each person. This game started right around the time I flopped in Resurrection, where Miguel and Felix both voted me out and the wound was still fresh (it was more-so a beef with Miguel because I was more angry with him and yeah whatever), so it was a pretty obvious choice to renom him because I didn’t have much else to go off. I didn’t necessarily want Miguel out, but it wouldn’t have been awful if he left. Derrick was evicted and I was in an extremely solid position.
I had initiated the foundation for future solid bonds with Blake, Felix, Dwayne, and Jalen. The only grey area where I would have felt a bit vulnerable is if Miguel got power, for obvious reasons.
Luckily the next HoH was Jalen, and I felt very comfortable with that. I didn’t have any qualms about his nominations, so I chose to use this week as an opportunity to make another solid ally through the votes. Matt was active and really chill, and I could tell he was here to play the game & that he looked at the game from a similar approach as me. I ended up not voting because my sleeping schedule is a mess in the summer, so I did get a strike but the results wouldn’t have wavered at all. Either way Matt knew I wasn’t one of the 3 who voted against him, so all was well.
That week set the course for Matt being a very crucial ally of mine moving forward. It was around this time that the only alliance I was in all game was formed between me, Felix, Matt, and Dwayne - “Vagina” lmfao. I truly can’t remember how exactly it was formed and who created it - I want to say it was Matt & Felix. But regardless, this was a group that I really wanted to work with and go far together.
So Felix wins the next HoH, and our alliance is in control. He nominates Andrew, who I didn’t have much of a relationship with, and Miguel, which is extremely ideal for me. Although Miguel won the Power of Veto, Felix nominated Benj in his place, who is the person I happened to nominate week 1. I’m not taking credit like I convinced Felix and made that happened, but I am pointing out that the course the game was taking at this time was perfect for me.
We’re getting to the point of the game where I began to take a back seat and was able to coast through, while simultaneously still being in the know and weighing in on decisions being made.
Andrew wins the week 4 HoH and I don’t remember much about how this week went down, lol. I believe Felix was able to manipulate Andrew into taking out Miguel, which honestly in retrospect was impressive considering he nommed Andrew days earlier. By now, we’re heading into week 5 and all of the people I nominated during the week 1 HoH have left the building.
Dwayne and Matt win the next (co-)HoH and honestly like? Could that have gone better? Idts. I remember at this point I knew I would have a good chance to persuade either of them to put up someone that I definitely wanted gone, whether it was best case for them or not. I pushed for Rhys to get put up, which worked, but he won the veto (slay). After Gavin was renominated, I knew for sure it was better for Andrew to leave for my game. Gavin was someone I’d been cultivating a relationship with in the hopes that we could team up down the line (but he wasn’t as active as I needed him to be ultimately rip).
The next week was interesting. Felix wins HoH again. Clutch. This was also the DE Roadkill week, where my wig was snatched by an anonymous someone. I was vulnerable for the first time in the game, and I truly lucked out that Felix won the veto and used it on me (king). I still have no idea who the Roadkill winner was lol.
This week is important because it marks the beginning of my acknowledging Felix’s blatant domination. Felix was an essential ally to me because he was trustworthy, and winning comps left and right. But……. in a season where nearly every competition seemed to be a flash game, having Felix in the game was a dangerous hindrance to everyone because he was simply an immense threat physically, as well as socially/strategically.
It was extremely clear to me that I would eventually have to step out from Felix’s shadow and take a shot at him. So I began to prepare for the future. Since the beginning of the game, I have had a very DL, tight bond with Blake. We trusted each other even though we were playing different games with different agendas and different allies lol. It was a mutually beneficial alliance because we had eyes on every angle of the game. We were both very aware that Felix needed to go, and we planned together for when the right opportunity presented itself.
The week after the Roadkill was another anonymous HoH. It created a lot of paranoia later on in the game and I still have no idea who it really was lol. I’m just happy I survived the week. Two of my good allies ended up on the block, and I knew I needed to keep Dwayne because Jalen wasn’t as invested and the core 4 Vagina alliance was keeping me alive.
We made up half the house now; numbers were dwindling and with Felix winning his third HoH, I knew it was time to flip the script. By now it became obvious that Felix had Rhys under his wing, and moving forward with that dangerous duo was not an option. I did my part in ensuring that Blake wasn’t Felix’s target that week, and Ben and Max were up for eviction. These were 2 people I was not close with so losing either of them wasn’t too much of a concern. I was more focused on trying to gain a number against Felix going into the next week since he couldn’t compete in HoH. Ben was under a lot of fire because he was being blamed for the anonymous HoH and I knew that it was in my best interest to keep him around.
I originally approached Dwayne about flipping the vote and saving Ben, however he was firmly against that which was a huge red flag. I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that Matt was also keen on Felix’s threat-level and was down to flip the vote with us. I knew it was kinda shitty to not inform Felix that I wasn’t keeping Max, but yeah sorry. It was a necessary evil
I was now going into the next HoH comp 4 on 2. Really I just didn’t want Rhys to win and I would have been perfectly fine, but of course he wins :^) lol. I knew 100% I was going up with Ben, and that it was very possible I was Rhys’s target. He was the only person left I didn’t have any sort of game relationship with so I was definitely vulnerable.
Blake wins the veto and he makes a really smart move not to save me. The chance of me staying against Ben was high and it would have exposed us heavily. I had really solid trust with Matt and Blake to vote to keep me, and after blindsiding Felix it was likely he’d want me out even though I was next to Ben. I trusted Dwayne to keep me, but I was getting odd vibes from him and my gut was telling me to prepare for a tie. I approached Rhys and did what I could too acknowledge the threat that Felix was and get him to see having me in was his best move. Blake did a lot this week to fluff Rhys into keeping me also.
So I survive the tie and now I’m focused on not letting Felix win HoH but… he wins :^) lol. His goal was certainly to split up Blake and I, but I was definitely in the best position to stay out of me, Blake, and Matt. Even though Dwayne tied the vote on me, I didn’t get emotional and break our game relationship. I would have at least 2 people who would keep me in no matter who I was sitting next to.
I was really happy that Blake won the veto because he was essential to take out Felix. It would have been best if Matt won so we could conserve our 3, but he was the renom and rip. I had Blake and Dwayne on my side, and Rhys’s vote didn’t matter.
Finally at the final 5, someone logica and ballsy enough to nominate Felix wins the HoH. It was finally Blake and I’s opportunity to take him out if we could snatch the veto. Ngl, at first glance of the comp I felt defeated and figured the win was out of reach. But I kept my game face on and pushed through to win it whew. That was the highest point of my game, winning that veto and knowing that Felix’s fate was sealed (lmao ily). With my vote and Blake’s tie-breaker vote, we had majority and Rhys’s vote was irrelevant again.
I made it to final 4 with two people I felt confident would bring me to the final 3 - Blake and Dwayne. I really intended on winning the final 4 HoH and I would have if not for a busy day BUT that’s not an excuse!! Rhys won it and now my obvious boot wasn’t eligible to leave.
I wanted to win the veto so I could have the control to send someone out and own it. Evicting Dwayne was very strategic. My perception was that Dwayne hadn’t played as strong a game as anyone else in the final 3, and while I knew that Blake played extremely well and would be a struggle to win against, I knew that evicting Blake would make my chances of sitting in the final 2 lesser. I was banking on winning the final HoH myself of course, but in the case that Rhys won it, I knew he would not be able to deny the risk of sitting next to Blake and would bring me instead. If he had to choose between me and Dwayne, I know he would have evicted me!
And that’s how I made it here. You shook? It was a longggggggg ass ride but it was damn worth it. I know this speech was a novel but I wanted to do this game justice and show you guys that I deserve to win. I went from winning the first HoH and establishing myself in a prime social spot, to playing in the shadows of Felix’s dominance (along with the rest of the house lmfao) and playing the waiting game to finally topple him and carve my way here to the final 2. I’d love to here what you guys have to say LAY IT ON ME.
So , thanks everyone for this fun , long , yet fun season. Thanks for Liam & Hosts for everything <3. Hope for many more Big Brother seasons to come.
So i came into this game as apart of a war room twist. This initially put me at a disadvantage as I came in late , not having the advantage of forming relationships when everyone else had. So I needed a good safety plan on how to ensure I could be safe from potential nomination. This is why I aligned with felix , he was one of the only ones who talked to me and I felt more safe trusting him than others. This was very advantages to my game , as Felix was considered a threat and was a challenge beast. This gave me alot of weeks where Felix wouldn’t have considered me for nomination, as well as my HOH’s . In combination of Felix’s 4 HOH wins and my 3 I managed to be in one of the best places by essentially have 7 weeks immune. This very successful as I was only nominated once pre merge (because i was stubborn and didn't want to contact dwayne first , VERY stupid of me but hey what can i do). I later won the veto to keep off the block allowing me the only person all season to never be on the block come eviction night , as well as no votes to evict me.
Alot of people criticised me through out my game as being a sheep to felix and that i was curled up all cozy in his back pocket. However this wasn’t the case. This perception came around because I told felix Ben was targeting him. Word got back to ben , and people figured out we were working together. However I wasn't blindly following Felix , I simply not making an enemy of the person who would win competition after competition. I knew I wouldn’t be able to beat felix at the end and knew his time would come and knew, if not someone else I would have to get rid of him close to the end. During one of my HOH’s I was told that nominating Felix would be the best option and i feel like as this didn’t happen people may feel like I was Felix’s minion. It just didn’t make sense for me to get rid of felix , as if he went I would be going up on the block the week after.
I feel like my game was a bit abrasive at points , as I know i called people out , especially when they might not have been true , such as Ben being the secret HOH. However I knew doing this wouldn’t have put a target on my back as I had Felix as the perfect shield , and that he would be the target over me. I called so many people out in order to try to get the target shifted from Felix for a few weeks in order to increase my chances of getting further in the game. So sorry/ not sorry for calling Ben/Matt out , it was just game. If those bridges are burnt I perfectly understand, but i hope you two wont completely rule out voting for me.
Overall I think I played a solid game , winning competitions when I needed to (Veto when nominated , HOH to save felix & mines ass, Final 2 HOH’s.) , meaning i wasn't pegged as a competition beast such as felix, until it was too late. I remained off the block the whole season which shows how smart I was able to traverse this game. I wasn’t afraid to go out in chat and call people out showing I wasn’t just coasting along in this game.
Hopefully this enough for you guy’s votes. If you need any other aspect of my game ask away,
In just a few moments, Ryan, who has used the PoV on himself, will cast the sole vote to evict Blake or Ryan from the Big Brother house.
-Ryan stands at the front of the living room-
“
Okay Blake & Dwayne, I love y’all. I was friends with you both before this game even started and you’ve each played a part in me getting this far in different ways.
Blake, we’ve had a final 2 alliance for a good while now. Dwayne, we were very close the first 3/4 of the game, but drifted apart once I distanced myself from Felix.
Dwayne I get the sense that if I were to keep you in, then I would be putting myself in the position where I need to win the last HoH to get to the final 2 because Rhys and I wouldn’t take each other. I recognize the great game Blake has played, but at this point my main concern is getting to the final 2. I trust Blake would bring me to the end and feel like Rhys would evict Blake over me.
If you were to stay, I think you are guaranteed final 2 and that leaves me with a lesser chance of making it there. Therefore, I’m sorry Dwayne I vote to evict you 😕
