As you can recall, we all came together in the central stages of the game with the hope of having the numbers to stay. My communications within this group varied, LF being the person whom I talked to the least. Most of our discussions were comprised of how we both thought a competition had gone, or, if close to an eviction, who we thought was the best option.
Farside would come next, and our conversations for the most part dealt with who both of us thought we could trust in the game, who nominations should be and why, and how competitions had gone. We never extensively made plans for several weeks to come, often consulting each other on the present week and possibly the immediately succeeding one. I often wished her good luck in challenges, and she did the same.
I talked to you most out of the group, KMD, encompassing all subjects discussed with them, in addition to how things looked for future weeks. I was nervous about relations with both you and LF at first, as both of you had nominated me consecutively, and this weighed on my mind when I began to gauge loyalty of those left in the house. As time went on, however, I let those apprehensions go, for we discussed the game closely frequently.
Skitzer: No communication.
PEG: We came to a mutual agreement upon him reentering the house that he would not put me up so long as I returned the favor. The nominations that week were skitzer and farside; the first I was happy with, the second not so much, but I went along with it, hoping that I could win the competition with ease. This of course did not happen, and all events afterwards fell into place as they did. I have already explained my reasoning for wanting to get rid of PEG, and none of them have changed.
Eteo: Yes, Eteo and I have had an alliance since the very beginning. Our conversations were first comprised of little more than comments about challenges and players in the game, but as things slowly started to pick up and there was silence on all other fronts, we decided it would be best to form a secretive alliance (much like the BB3 Jason and Danielle alliance) that would keep us safe. The both of us discussed strategy regularly, watching closely patterns with nominations and challenge wins in hopes of keeping a heads up on things. The week I replaced him during the PoV ceremony next to LF ranks up there with your eviction, as Eteo had been loyal to me since the beginning, and I don't know what would have happened had he been evicted. We came together at the beginning, and stuck together through the duration of the game, and I think that shows how good of a person and competitor Eteo is.

The plan was for me to throw the veto so that you could win it and save me and we'd have complete control over the week. You won the veto, didn't use it on me, and voted to evict me. You said this was out of paranoia that I'd have screwed you over. Do you still believe this? Why or why not? If you had to go back and do it again, would you do anything differently?
Upon reflection, and our conversations after everything was said and done, no, I do not believe that you would have stabbed me in the back. As I said above and will say again, paranoia was a large part in my decision, for I also did not want to put farside or Eteo at risk. The other facets of my choice are found above in response to LF's questions.
If I had to go back, knowing that PEG was returning, therefore invalidating my hopes of an auto-PoV win, things may have panned out differently. I have already explained that I am not happy to have done that to you, if not only that we had formed such a bond in the game, but my faith in you had been shaken, and I would have rather been safe than sorry. It was a game-related decision, nothing personal, and I hope you can see that.

Are you happy with the way you played the game? What was the best moment of the game? The worst? Do you think that you deserve to be in the Final 2? Do you think the person sitting next to you deserves to be there? Why?
Finally, why should I vote for you and not the person sitting next to you?
For the most part, yes, I am very pleased with how I played this game. I won challenges, and fought to keep myself off the chopping block. The best moment would most likely have to be either the first PoV win or the Final Four PoV, as in both I felt they were imperative to ensure my survival in the game. The first also helped me prove to myself that I deserved to be in this competition.
Yes, I think the both of us deserve to be here from both a challenge perspective and a strategic perspective. There was a time when we alternated between HoH, and, when nominated, took ourselves off, defying whatever plans the house may have had. I won challenges I felt I needed to win, and did what I needed to do to make sure that I was sitting in one of these two chairs, talking to the jury, right here right now.
Both of us have been put through the ringer, but when it comes down to reasons for deserving the win, it really depends on what perspective you as voters take. If you are gauging our deserving to win based solely off of challenges, then Eteo wins hands down. Yes, I won competitions, but he absolutely dominated most of the game. If you are looking from a strategic standpoint, however, I feel that I deserve to win, for I made alliances with those I felt I could help and could help me get further in the game, why maneuvering myself into a position in which I could call shots in the later rounds. I was forced to make several plays that could have had major ramifications should they have gone awry; putting up Eteo and evicting you being two of the main ones. I worked to eliminate those I saw as threats, and worked to gain the loyalty of others so that I could be better prepared to face the weeks ahead. All in all, I cannot say what side alliances Eteo made with people, but I feel that I got my hands dirty to keep myself in the game, and I think that makes me deserving of the win.
