Hey guys, first things first, congrats on getting to the final 2, you guys did whatever you had to do to get here. So good luck, and with that I will get on to my question.

I want each of you to name your 3 best relationships that got you to where you were, and your 5 best moves.

Good luck, the person who ultimately played the best will get my vote.

XOXO,
Jamie

Thanks Jamie.

My 3 best relationships.... hmmm. Well, this one is a no-brainer...

Britt. Go to girl, she had my back and I had hers, we talked about pretty much everything that happened in this game each round and talked about what we should do if we won, if we didn't etc. I don't think there is anything we didn't talk about. Heck, I'd go to bat for her every day of the week and twice on Sundays if she needed me too, best ally anyone could ask for and we get along great outside of games too.

Second honor goes to Eddie. Even though at times I felt like he might sway from things and try to make a big move that might cost me, he didn't. He's a real stand up guy and if I didn't make it to the end, he would be the person I'd want sitting in my place, again, someone you can count on to be true to their word.

Third honor... well, to be totally honest, I felt the rest of y'all wanted me out at some point or another, minus Cass, who wasn't in the game long enough. The person went inactive who I'm picking to be my third, but having known him/her outside of games, this one is a relationship based outside of games and would go to Chicken George. The two games we have played in before, we worked great together, we'd talk about everything and let each other know everything that was going on, and in this game, he went inactive early and then I was put up against him, had he stayed, I would have definitely had his back.

As for my 5 biggest moves...

1) Aligning with Brittany. I knew coming in she was just an all around complete player with little to no weaknesses outside the fact that she is too nice and caring and takes what people say too heart, which she shouldn't because people sometimes say mean things and it's nothing against her as a person. I knew she would be able to save me either by winning POV or by convincing people if I was in trouble, and I would have done the same for her.

2) Playing low key even when I was ousted for being a "threat". Usually when I get called out for things, I take the offensive, get pissed off and start a lot of drama which sometimes bites me in the ass, but this time around I kept calm because I know if i got out early that would be a detriment to my allies and I wasn't going to screw their game over too by making myself to be even a bigger threat, so I played a little more laid back then I normally do.

3) Nominating Josh, which set the wheels in motion for his eviction. He didn't go when I nominated him, but I felt at the time I was HOH that people were "scared" to put him up and I felt he was with a lot of people, so I think putting him up brought out his true colors which led to his eviction and was key to me because he was the main person gunning for me.

4) Me and Britt deciding that Cass would be the best person to get evicted as we could not get a proper read on her in this game and felt if we ever did need her to be with us, she might not pull through, which made her dangerous to us so we thought it would be best to just get rid of her now rather then cry about it later.

5) When I was nominated, and Britt had the option to take me off, we both came to an agreement (even though I was hesitant at first) that it would be best to keep me up there so as to not get our alliance out in the air. We wanted our alliance to be a secret for as long as we could and not let people get a whiff of how close we really were, so Britt told me it would be wise for her not to play it on me, but she did say if I wanted her to, she would. I agreed with her that it's a risk but we'll take it, and since I am sitting here now, it worked.

Three best relationships in no particular order:


Will: I know I can count on Will through thick and thin. He would never turn on me , even if it would cost him the game. That is more than you can expect from people in games like this. He is also very good at comps so if my butt was ever on the line I could count on him to put all he had into getting the POV and saving me.

Eddie: Eddie plays a more aggresive game than Will and he is equally as loyal so having him with me was a huge advantage. He won 4 comps and helped take a lot of the heat off me. Although I knew he would never sabotage my game I wasn't so certain he was on board with Will. When he used the POV on Jamie and left Will up there I thought my F3 goal was over but he came through. I know that he would have taken me to the end had he won that final HOH..but I am not sure I would have been able to beat him in the vote because he played a very strong game.

Jordan: I was really lucky to meet Jordan early on in this game and had I not already been in an alliance I would have tried to rope her into a F2. She is also a really strong player and she helped me a lot by voting out Josh when I nominated him. I did not expect her vote for him at that time because I really thought she and Josh were together. She also came through for me when she won that POV and didnt use it on herself. That was a real blessing because I had nobody left to nominate that week. You had helped me win the HOH so I didnt want to put you up. Karen had also helped me and there was no way I would put up Will or Eddie. She helped me again when she won HOH the very next week and didn't nominate me.

The above three were arguably the strongest players in the game and I was really fortunate to have their support throughout the game. Nobody makes F2 alone.



Five moves in no particular order:

1. Aligning with Will day one. He was a strong and loyal ally. I never had to second guess anything with him and it was always a comfort knowing I had his support to the end.

2. Aligning with Eddie. Eddie is a very aggressive player and not being with him would have been a huge mistake. He is capable of winning comps and could have easily changed the course of the game.

3. Talking to everyone. That helped me find out who was with whom and what they were thinking. I knew who was out to get Will early on and that helped me protect him. It also helped me to find out how votes would go and who I needed to go to for support in each eviction.It also helped me make people feel safe with me in the game and I believe it is what kept me off the block throughout the game.

4. Winning the week 2 POV when Josh had Will on the block. I didn't have to use it for it to be helpful. I knew Josh would have used it to remove CG and he would have put Eddie up beside Will so I had to get it and not use it. I knew as long as CG was up there the other nominee was safe but with CG removed it was a coin toss as to which of my allies would leave.

5. Nominating Josh and securing the votes for his eviction was the best move I could have made to ensure the safety of myself and my allies.He was playing an aggressive game and he made no secret of the fact that he wanted Will, and Eddie gone.

Thanks for two good questions Jamie. Good luck with your vote.
