I've never made an actual plea to have me win before. I mean I've had to tell why the jury shouldn't vote me OUT (cuz in the game I won, I Love Money) the jury only voted on the third place person and then the F2 competed in a final challenge to find out who won (lol at me winning challenges but I did it yay) So this is all new to me. I guess I'm going to have like bullet points tonight, then maybe prepare my total speech tomorrow afternoon so I can think about things. |

Merge: -Wanted to combine both my four way alliance from Supreme and my new six person from nuPD (playing both sides to keep myself safe) -Intentionally let Sister make big decisions for a couple of rounds, knew she would be a threat later down the road and taken out before me. -Poussey told me idol group stuck together in swap> I wanted to target them -Wanted to bring Sue to the end since the beginning of the merge, one person I told 100% truth to -Made Sister think she had as much power as possible -Started dropping hints about Sister being a threat at F17 -Got rid of Victoria and Regina cuz blind Sister followers -Planted seeds by saying Sister is protecting Regina -Planted seeds to Poussey, Lana, and Sue telling them how dangerous idol group was -Willing to work with Moira -Told Mindy and Sister idol paranoia was up to new heights, even if it was me who was raising it -Wanted them ^ to prove loyalty and eliminate an idol -In final 14, only four people didn't have my back (Leslie, Olivia, Emily, and Haley) they were my targets -Playing idol and anti-idol sides at the same time. Both sides believed me. Planting seeds to want idol group to implode -Seeds bloomed when 3 idols were played. Because of paranoia I created -Olivia vs Sister is when I started drifting away from Sister -Mindy blindside=beginning of Marie IDGAF strategy and as long as it ain't me underdog, #noLongerAMinion -F10 started getting close to Poussey and Haley for my own safety, told them I was open to working with them -Got people (Lana, Sister, Poussey) to give me secret immunity when I felt I needed it . -Sister idol use= new low. Olivia was gone though so yay -Ditched Titanic by booting Constance, proving my loyalty to Poussey -Here, a F3 was made with Poussey and Sue, with Lana as a fourth -Fought for Sister to stay one more round, but had to vote her out to better my game and prove loyal to my new allies (and Haley) -Had to backstab Haley because I didn't trust her, this vote solidified Lana, Poussey, Sue alliance. -Lana, Sue, Poussey all had F3 deal with me, knew I would have to break that eventually -Fiona went home and it was very unspectacular. -Voted off Lana because she had less enemies on the jury. I felt terrible about it, but it had to be done. That, and I wanted to prove my loyalty to Poussey -Emily was an easy vote *Tore the idol group apart one by one with seeds *Stayed with Sister until I needed to ditch her *Hella underdog *Never won a challenge=never a real target *Had many allies that trusted me *Jumped from Sister's wing exactly when I needed to *Made very important alliance of Poussey, Sue, Lana *Great socially |

Good evening, ladies. First off, I'd like to congratulate Sue and Poussey and wish them the best of luck for this evening. I would also like to thank all of you jurors for a great game, and I look forward to seeing who each and everyone one of you are. Finally, I'd like to thank the hosts for putting on a great game. So, now here is where I talk about my game any why I should win. I'm going to warn you now, this might get a little long winded, so I'm going to break it up with lovely gifs so you aren't reading text for days. Pre-Swap Coming into this game, I knew that it was going to be an uphill battle. There were thirty of us fierce ladies and we all wanted to play. So, I knew I needed to get an alliance going as soon as possible. By the second day, I had already created an alliance with Fish (my secret group member) Mindy and Poussey, two people that I felt very comfortable with. Through the pre swap, I had all of them believing that I held them as my upmost ally in the game, when in reality they were all equal. The first few votes were pretty easy, so I'm not going to speak about them. However, I would like to address the Callie situation that happened, because I feel like it needs to be brought up. Callie decided it would be a good idea to slander my name as much as she possibly could one round. I knew she was making things up, as I never said anything about getting rid of Olivia or Sue. As soon as she started spreading shit about me, I knew it was time to spread shit about her. I talked to both Olivia and Sue, both who I was not close with at the time and convinced them that Callie was lying and we needed to get her out. The next vote, she went in a unanimous decision. Of course, I didn't need or want to speak much about the pre-swap days, because that is all ancient history at this point, and I think (and hope) that my actions pre-swap are not the deciding factor this evening. The points I did want to mention about the early days are that I was always in control, I had Poussey, Fish, Mindy, Sue, and even Olivia all trusting me, and none of them would have voted me off. I also was never in any real danger, as my connections have shown, and I made a lot of key relationships that would later be very important to me down the road (Poussey, Mindy, Sue) Swap Here is where I'm going to get even longer winded, because the swap is where I really started to play this game to survive at the beginning, and win by the end of the swap. When I first saw who was on my swapped tribe, I thought for sure that I was going to be screwed. Juliette had her entire secret group there, and I knew that she was going to be gunning for me, and her secret group, not knowing me, would likely listen to her. At this moment, Sue immediately became my number one ally in the game, as she was the only person that I could trust coming onto nuPrimaDonna. In order to be saved and not robbed from this game (in my opinion at least) I knew that I had to make alliances with big players. This is where Sister and Lana come in. Prior to the swap, Mindy and Olivia told me all about how Sister was a great big player, and how she had control over original Prima Donna. The second I saw her, I knew that I wanted to work with her since we were both big players with big targets on our backs. From Emily, I heard the same things about Lana. She was good socially over on Divine, and I knew that she would have my back as needed. From the first message I sent both of them, I wanted them to like me and trust me, and in a matter of only a couple of hours, that mission was accomplished. I wanted to create an alliance of two members for each original tribe to essentially pick off the people I didn't trust on nuPrimaDonna. This alliance would consist of Fiona, Lana, Sister, Regina, Sue, and I. This is the alliance that I wanted to start from the beginning. As I stated earlier, Sue, Sister, and Lana were all key players I knew I needed to keep on my side, and I picked the people I assumed they were closest with and went from there. A little while later, the alliance came into fruition (After a lengthy talk with Fiona about ditching her group and coming to us). I knew that Juliette was targeting me, because she didn't trust me on Supreme, and she was trying to get her whole secret group to follow. Luckily, this was confirmed to me by Victoria, and I turned the entire tribe against Juliette. There was no way that I was going to let her go any farther, because I didn't trust her and I didn't want her around. Nobody was going to change my mind (not even when Victoria "quit") So, she went and that's when our 2/2/2 alliance really solidified. Quinn went next, and I expected for the alliance to go much farther, but then we merged. If you take nothing else from the swap, I want you to know that the important aspects of my swap game were that I didn't give up when I was fighting from an underdog position (this will happen again), I started to get close to Lana and Sister, two relationships I knew I needed to have to further my own game. I planned an alliance as soon as I saw who I had been put together with, and it happened. And I only received one vote during this whole time (the last one I would receive until the F4 round) even though I was in great danger. |

Merge So If you've skipped up till now here is what you need to know. In the pre-swap days I was in control and made key relationships with Poussey, Mindy, and Sue, and once I swapped I thought that I was on the bottom but I worked my way to the top through connections that I had made with key players like Sister and Lana. Once the merge hit, I was intimidated. I don't think any of us have ever merged with 18 people before, at least I haven't. But, as soon as we merged I tried to talk to every single person I possibly could, to see if they would be useful to me, and just because I enjoy talking to everyone ![]() As soon as the merge hit, I wanted to combine both of my strong alliances from the other two portions of the game, the Supreme 6 (aka the Sole Sisters of me, Mindy, Poussey, Sue, Olivia, and Fish) and the 2/2/2 alliance from the swap. However, I knew this was going to be a problem because everyone had different agendas, and I didn't want to stick out and get voted off, so I layer low for a little while. This is where I started to intentionally fade under Sister's wing. I knew that she was going to make all of the big decisions in the early stages of the merge, and I would follow along. However, I did know that eventually I wanted to get rid of her, since she would have made the end if I didn't. This was my plan from the very beginning of the merge. This is also the point that I knew Sue would be the most loyal person to me in the game, and that I wanted her to bring her to the end. Poussey alerted me to the fact that the idol group had stuck together in nuSupreme, and that Olivia had "changed". So, I knew that the idol group needed to be targeted, but I didn't want to strike just yet, because I knew a lot of them (Olivia, at the time, Mindy, and Sister) trusted me, and I didn't want to ostracize Haley, Constance, and Leslie, whom I had not yet met. For the first couple of rounds, I made Sister think she had all the power in the game, all while talking to the "other side" that was forming, and seeing what their input was. I knew Sister couldn't have too much power, so I started to plant seeds in everyone's heads that i would hope grow in upcoming rounds and bloom into something that would be beneficial for me: taking out the idols. I started this by telling Sister that "people were talking about how they feel Regina is protected by you," and the intention of this was to take out a blind Sister minion (which I would be called later in the game, but I hope I disprove that). At that point, I started talking to non idol girls such as Poussey, Lana and Moira and telling them that the idol group was a huge threat if they wanted to stick together, and that something should be done about it as soon as possible (this was at the F16). Meanwhile, I went to Sister and Mindy and told them that the idol paranoia was at a new high, what they didn't know is that I started it because I wanted them to prove their loyalty to me, and help me (and the other non idol people) take out someone with an idol. All of my planning and planting seeds came into effect when three idols were played at that one Tribal. I felt like I had caused a lot of paranoia on both sides, leading the idols to be played. I was playing both sides at this point of the game, and I was causing paranoia so people would gun for each other, and not for me. At this point, I thought I was in control, I thought that I had the power to do what I wanted and when I wanted to do it. But, I was proved wrong when Mindy was voted off. When Mindy was voted off, I knew that I was going to be a target soon after. Mindy and I were really close in the game, and at this point Sister still had her idol. This is where i went from thinking "i'm top dog" to "I'm underdog…" This is where i started playing the game one round at a time, using the classic "anybody but me" strategy, which I would continue using up until the F3. At this point, I didn't care who my allies were, I just always messaged people and said I wanted to make "one more round" For my own safety, I started to get closer to both Poussey and Haley, because I knew that they were both people that I think I could trust (Even though we had different opinions of things earlier in the game) I told them that I was open to working with them, and this was true. That round, I wanted Olivia out, and I thought that everyone else did too. Luckily, Sister used her idol and was saved, but Olivia only got three votes, and this pissed me off. From here, I felt like even more of an underdog than I already was. I thought I was untouchable when it came to being an ally, since I was "Sister's Minion" to prove this, I hopped right over to Poussey and Haley and told them I would do literally anything to further my game for at least one more round. Poussey said she'd protect me, and that I had to vote Constance. With the Constance vote, I was essentially ditching my alliance with Sister, with hopes of getting closer to Poussey and Haley, two people that I knew would take me far if I just worked with them. Here, I proved my loyalty to Poussey, and after Constance was voted off, a final four alliance of Poussey, Sue, Lana, and I was formed. Here, I had deals with both Sue and Lana that said I would take them to the F3 with me and Poussey. I knew this was putting me in a tight situation, but it kept me safe. When Sister was up for elimination, I fought for her not to go. I didn't have much of a use for her anymore, but she would be a failsafe vote, and I really liked her and wanted to keep her around, but i knew there was no way around that and she had to go. This leads to the F7, where the new alliance really solidified. Haley had started to talk to me about deals in this round, but at the same time she was targeting me and telling a different person a different target every minute, this confused me, so I knew Haley had to go, and that she did. Following that, it was Fiona that went. Fiona and I were close during the swap, but it was clear we had different agendas for the merge. In the final 5, I wanted Emily out. She was the only person who I wasn't aligned with, and the only person I didn't have any type of deal with at that point. However, as we all know Emily won immunity and Marie was put smack dab in the middle of two parties. I could either go with Emily and Lana (who were only together for convenience sake) and get rid of Poussey, or I could go with Poussey and Sue and get rid of Lana. In the end, as you know, I voted off Lana. I did this because she's played a perfect game, and I don't think she made any enemies. It broke my heart to do this, and I still feel bad about it, but I feel like I made the right choice. After that Emily lost the F4 immunity challenge, and was voted off. So, after that long winded summary of my game from the merge, if you don't want to read any of that it's cool, but read this. The important things I did in the merge was tear the idol group apart by planting subtle seeds on both sides, I stayed with Sister for as long as I needed to, but I got rid of her when I needed to as well, I was an underdog for most of the merge, always fighting to stay, I never won a challenge but I never actually needed to because I was NEVER a real target, I had many connections through the entire merge (of the final 14, I know of only four people at the time, Olivia, Haley, Leslie, and Emily who didn't have my back), and most importantly I never gave up. Conclusion **coming later** |

I'm going to warn you now, this might get a little long winded, so I'm going to break it up with lovely gifs so you aren't reading text for days. If you want to just read my main points, just read the bolded sections. Pre-Swap Coming into this game, I knew that it was going to be an uphill battle.

Following that, it was Fiona that went. Fiona and I were close during the swap, but it was clear we had different agendas for the merge. In the final 5, I wanted Emily out. She was the only person who I wasn't aligned with, and the only person I didn't have any type of deal with at that point. However, as we all know Emily won immunity and Marie was put smack dab in the middle of two parties. I could either go with Emily and Lana (who were only together for convenience sake) and get rid of Poussey, or I could go with Poussey and Sue and get rid of Lana. In the end, as you know, I voted off Lana. I did this because she's played a perfect game, and I don't think she made any enemies. It broke my heart to do this, and I still feel bad about it, but I feel like I made the right choice. After that Emily lost the F4 immunity challenge, and was voted off. So, after that long winded summary of my game from the merge, if you don't want to read any of that it's cool, but read this. The important things I did in the merge was tear the idol group apart by planting subtle seeds on both sides, I stayed with Sister for as long as I needed to, but I got rid of her when I needed to as well, I was an underdog for most of the merge, always fighting to stay, I never won a challenge but I never actually needed to because I was NEVER a real target, I had many connections through the entire merge (of the final 14, I know of only four people at the time, Olivia, Haley, Leslie, and Emily who didn't have my back), and most importantly I never gave up. Conclusion **coming later** [/align] |

Conclusion: I've fought in this game. Since the swap, nothing has been handed to me and I had to fight my way here. I know that a lot of you might see me as a Sister follower, but I hope through my opening statement I have proved otherwise. I deserve to win because I never quit, I was persistent, I had connections through the entire game that kept me safe, I was not carried here, and I always did what was best for my game, and it got me here. So, that's the end of this opening statement, I hope you at least read parts of it, and I'm seriously looking forward to seeing what you all have to say. I'll be answering everything with 100% honesty. Again, good luck Sue and Poussey

[align=center]![]() Good evening, ladies. First off, I'd like to congratulate Sue and Poussey and wish them the best of luck for this evening. I would also like to thank all of you jurors for a great game, and I look forward to seeing who each and everyone one of you are. Finally, I'd like to thank the hosts for putting on a great game. So, now here is where I talk about my game any why I should win. I'm going to warn you now, this might get a little long winded, so I'm going to break it up with lovely gifs so you aren't reading text for days. If you want to just read my main points, just read the bolded sections. [spoiler=PRE SWAP GAMEPLAY] Coming into this game, I knew that it was going to be an uphill battle. There were thirty of us fierce ladies and we all wanted to play. So, I knew I needed to get an alliance going as soon as possible. By the second day, I had already created an alliance with Fish (my secret group member) Mindy and Poussey, two people that I felt very comfortable with. Through the pre swap, I had all of them believing that I held them as my upmost ally in the game, when in reality they were all equal. The first few votes were pretty easy, so I'm not going to speak about them. ![]() However, I would like to address the Callie situation that happened, because I feel like it needs to be brought up. Callie decided it would be a good idea to slander my name as much as she possibly could one round. I knew she was making things up, as I never said anything about getting rid of Olivia or Sue. As soon as she started spreading shit about me, I knew it was time to spread shit about her. I talked to both Olivia and Sue, both who I was not close with at the time and convinced them that Callie was lying and we needed to get her out. The next vote, she went in a unanimous decision.[/spoiler] Of course, I didn't need or want to speak much about the pre-swap days, because that is all ancient history at this point, and I think (and hope) that my actions pre-swap are not the deciding factor this evening. The points I did want to mention about the early days are that I was always in control, I had Poussey, Fish, Mindy, Sue, and even Olivia all trusting me, and none of them would have voted me off. I also was never in any real danger, as my connections have shown, and I made a lot of key relationships that would later be very important to me down the road (Poussey, Mindy, Sue) [spoiler=SWAP GAMEPLAY] Here is where I'm going to get even longer winded, because the swap is where I really started to play this game to survive at the beginning, and win by the end of the swap. When I first saw who was on my swapped tribe, I thought for sure that I was going to be screwed. Juliette had her entire secret group there, and I knew that she was going to be gunning for me, and her secret group, not knowing me, would likely listen to her. At this moment, Sue immediately became my number one ally in the game, as she was the only person that I could trust coming onto nuPrimaDonna. In order to be saved and not robbed from this game (in my opinion at least) I knew that I had to make alliances with big players. This is where Sister and Lana come in. Prior to the swap, Mindy and Olivia told me all about how Sister was a great big player, and how she had control over original Prima Donna. The second I saw her, I knew that I wanted to work with her since we were both big players with big targets on our backs. From Emily, I heard the same things about Lana. She was good socially over on Divine, and I knew that she would have my back as needed. From the first message I sent both of them, I wanted them to like me and trust me, and in a matter of only a couple of hours, that mission was accomplished. ![]() I wanted to create an alliance of two members for each original tribe to essentially pick off the people I didn't trust on nuPrimaDonna. This alliance would consist of Fiona, Lana, Sister, Regina, Sue, and I. This is the alliance that I wanted to start from the beginning. As I stated earlier, Sue, Sister, and Lana were all key players I knew I needed to keep on my side, and I picked the people I assumed they were closest with and went from there. A little while later, the alliance came into fruition (After a lengthy talk with Fiona about ditching her group and coming to us). I knew that Juliette was targeting me, because she didn't trust me on Supreme, and she was trying to get her whole secret group to follow. Luckily, this was confirmed to me by Victoria, and I turned the entire tribe against Juliette. There was no way that I was going to let her go any farther, because I didn't trust her and I didn't want her around. Nobody was going to change my mind (not even when Victoria "quit") So, she went and that's when our 2/2/2 alliance really solidified. Quinn went next, and I expected for the alliance to go much farther, but then we merged. [/spoiler] If you take nothing else from the swap, I want you to know that the important aspects of my swap game were that I didn't give up when I was fighting from an underdog position (this will happen again), I started to get close to Lana and Sister, two relationships I knew I needed to have to further my own game. I planned an alliance as soon as I saw who I had been put together with, and it happened. And I only received one vote during this whole time (the last one I would receive until the F4 round) even though I was in great danger. [spoiler=MERGE GAMEPLAY] So If you've skipped up till now here is what you need to know. In the pre-swap days I was in control and made key relationships with Poussey, Mindy, and Sue, and once I swapped I thought that I was on the bottom but I worked my way to the top through connections that I had made with key players like Sister and Lana. Once the merge hit, I was intimidated. I don't think any of us have ever merged with 18 people before, at least I haven't. But, as soon as we merged I tried to talk to every single person I possibly could, to see if they would be useful to me, and just because I enjoy talking to everyone ![]() As soon as the merge hit, I wanted to combine both of my strong alliances from the other two portions of the game, the Supreme 6 (aka the Sole Sisters of me, Mindy, Poussey, Sue, Olivia, and Fish) and the 2/2/2 alliance from the swap. However, I knew this was going to be a problem because everyone had different agendas, and I didn't want to stick out and get voted off, so I layer low for a little while. This is where I started to intentionally fade under Sister's wing. I knew that she was going to make all of the big decisions in the early stages of the merge, and I would follow along. However, I did know that eventually I wanted to get rid of her, since she would have made the end if I didn't. This was my plan from the very beginning of the merge. This is also the point that I knew Sue would be the most loyal person to me in the game, and that I wanted her to bring her to the end. Poussey alerted me to the fact that the idol group had stuck together in nuSupreme, and that Olivia had "changed". So, I knew that the idol group needed to be targeted, but I didn't want to strike just yet, because I knew a lot of them (Olivia, at the time, Mindy, and Sister) trusted me, and I didn't want to ostracize Haley, Constance, and Leslie, whom I had not yet met. ![]() For the first couple of rounds, I made Sister think she had all the power in the game, all while talking to the "other side" that was forming, and seeing what their input was. I knew Sister couldn't have too much power, so I started to plant seeds in everyone's heads that i would hope grow in upcoming rounds and bloom into something that would be beneficial for me: taking out the idols. I started this by telling Sister that "people were talking about how they feel Regina is protected by you," and the intention of this was to take out a blind Sister minion (which I would be called later in the game, but I hope I disprove that). At that point, I started talking to non idol girls such as Poussey, Lana and Moira and telling them that the idol group was a huge threat if they wanted to stick together, and that something should be done about it as soon as possible (this was at the F16). Meanwhile, I went to Sister and Mindy and told them that the idol paranoia was at a new high, what they didn't know is that I started it because I wanted them to prove their loyalty to me, and help me (and the other non idol people) take out someone with an idol. All of my planning and planting seeds came into effect when three idols were played at that one Tribal. I felt like I had caused a lot of paranoia on both sides, leading the idols to be played. I was playing both sides at this point of the game, and I was causing paranoia so people would gun for each other, and not for me. At this point, I thought I was in control, I thought that I had the power to do what I wanted and when I wanted to do it. But, I was proved wrong when Mindy was voted off. ![]() When Mindy was voted off, I knew that I was going to be a target soon after. Mindy and I were really close in the game, and at this point Sister still had her idol. This is where i went from thinking "i'm top dog" to "I'm underdog…" This is where i started playing the game one round at a time, using the classic "anybody but me" strategy, which I would continue using up until the F3. At this point, I didn't care who my allies were, I just always messaged people and said I wanted to make "one more round" For my own safety, I started to get closer to both Poussey and Haley, because I knew that they were both people that I think I could trust (Even though we had different opinions of things earlier in the game) I told them that I was open to working with them, and this was true. That round, I wanted Olivia out, and I thought that everyone else did too. Luckily, Sister used her idol and was saved, but Olivia only got three votes, and this pissed me off. From here, I felt like even more of an underdog than I already was. I thought I was untouchable when it came to being an ally, since I was "Sister's Minion" to prove this, I hopped right over to Poussey and Haley and told them I would do literally anything to further my game for at least one more round. Poussey said she'd protect me, and that I had to vote Constance. With the Constance vote, I was essentially ditching my alliance with Sister, with hopes of getting closer to Poussey and Haley, two people that I knew would take me far if I just worked with them. Here, I proved my loyalty to Poussey, and after Constance was voted off, a final four alliance of Poussey, Sue, Lana, and I was formed. Here, I had deals with both Sue and Lana that said I would take them to the F3 with me and Poussey. I knew this was putting me in a tight situation, but it kept me safe. When Sister was up for elimination, I fought for her not to go. I didn't have much of a use for her anymore, but she would be a failsafe vote, and I really liked her and wanted to keep her around, but i knew there was no way around that and she had to go. This leads to the F7, where the new alliance really solidified. Haley had started to talk to me about deals in this round, but at the same time she was targeting me and telling a different person a different target every minute, this confused me, so I knew Haley had to go, and that she did. Following that, it was Fiona that went. Fiona and I were close during the swap, but it was clear we had different agendas for the merge. ![]() In the final 5, I wanted Emily out. She was the only person who I wasn't aligned with, and the only person I didn't have any type of deal with at that point. However, as we all know Emily won immunity and Marie was put smack dab in the middle of two parties. I could either go with Emily and Lana (who were only together for convenience sake) and get rid of Poussey, or I could go with Poussey and Sue and get rid of Lana. In the end, as you know, I voted off Lana. I did this because she's played a perfect game, and I don't think she made any enemies. It broke my heart to do this, and I still feel bad about it, but I feel like I made the right choice. After that Emily lost the F4 immunity challenge, and was voted off. [/spoiler] So, after that long winded summary of my game from the merge, if you don't want to read any of that it's cool, but read this.

[align=center]![]() Good evening, ladies. First off, I'd like to congratulate Sue and Poussey and wish them the best of luck for this evening. I would also like to thank all of you jurors for a great game, and I look forward to seeing who each and everyone one of you are. Finally, I'd like to thank the hosts for putting on a great game. So, now here is where I talk about my game any why I should win. It is really long winded, so for your convenience I put the details of my gameplay under the spoiler tags, and bolded the points I'm trying to prove which are not in the spoiler tags. You can read as much or as little as you want, I'm not the boss of you, but I'd like if you at least read the bolded portions ![]() [spoiler=PRE SWAP GAMEPLAY] Coming into this game, I knew that it was going to be an uphill battle.

Following that, it was Fiona that went. Fiona and I were close during the swap, but it was clear we had different agendas for the merge. ![]() In the final 5, I wanted Emily out. She was the only person who I wasn't aligned with, and the only person I didn't have any type of deal with at that point. However, as we all know Emily won immunity and Marie was put smack dab in the middle of two parties. I could either go with Emily and Lana (who were only together for convenience sake) and get rid of Poussey, or I could go with Poussey and Sue and get rid of Lana. In the end, as you know, I voted off Lana. I did this because she's played a perfect game, and I don't think she made any enemies. It broke my heart to do this, and I still feel bad about it, but I feel like I made the right choice. After that Emily lost the F4 immunity challenge, and was voted off. [/spoiler] So, after that long winded summary of my game from the merge, if you don't want to read any of that it's cool, but read this. The important things I did in the merge was tear the idol group apart by planting subtle seeds on both sides, I stayed with Sister for as long as I needed to, but I got rid of her when I needed to as well, I was an underdog for most of the merge, always fighting to stay, I never won a challenge but I never actually needed to because I was NEVER a real target, I had many connections through the entire merge (of the final 14, I know of only four people at the time, Olivia, Haley, Leslie, and Emily who didn't have my back), and most importantly I never gave up. Conclusion I've fought in this game. Since the swap, nothing has been handed to me and I had to fight my way here. I know that a lot of you might see me as a Sister follower, but I hope through my opening statement I have proved otherwise. I deserve to win because I never quit, I was persistent, I had connections through the entire game that kept me safe, I was not carried here, and I always did what was best for my game, and it got me here. So, that's the end of this opening statement, I hope you at least read parts of it, and I'm seriously looking forward to seeing what you all have to say. I'll be answering everything with 100% honesty. Again, good luck Sue and Poussey, REPRESENT THE SISTERS ![]() ![]() [/align] |

You were the one who got me into ORGing in general and I love/hate you for that always God it seems like so long ago when someone told me in Stranded in Patagonia how to properly message people (as in more than one sentence) and from there I just changed my perspective. I've actually impressed myself in this game, lasting far longer than I had expected. Thanks for the encouragement

[align=center]![]() Good evening, ladies. First off, I'd like to congratulate Sue and Poussey and wish them the best of luck for this evening. I would also like to thank all of you jurors for a great game, and I look forward to seeing who each and everyone one of you are. Finally, I'd like to thank the hosts for putting on a great game. So, now here is where I talk about my game any why I should win. It is really long winded, so for your convenience I put the details of my gameplay under the spoiler tags, and bolded the points I'm trying to prove which are not in the spoiler tags. You can read as much or as little as you want, I'm not the boss of you, but I'd like if you at least read the bolded portions ![]() [spoiler=PRE SWAP GAMEPLAY] Coming into this game, I knew that it was going to be an uphill battle. There were thirty of us fierce ladies and we all wanted to win. So, I knew I needed to get an alliance going as soon as possible. By the second day, I had already created an alliance with Fish (my secret group member) Mindy and Poussey, two people that I felt very comfortable with. Through the pre swap, I had all of them believing that I held them as my upmost ally in the game, when in reality they were all equal. The first few votes were pretty easy/self explanatory so I'm not going to speak about them. ![]() However, I would like to address the Callie situation that happened, because I feel like it needs to be brought up. Callie decided it would be a good idea to slander my name as much as she possibly could one round. I knew she was making things up, as I never said anything about getting rid of Olivia or Sue. As soon as she started spreading shit about me, I knew it was time to spread shit about her. I talked to both Olivia and Sue, both who I was not close with at the time and convinced them that Callie was lying and we needed to get her out. The next vote, she went in a unanimous decision.[/spoiler] Of course, I didn't need or want to speak much about the pre-swap days, because that is all ancient history at this point, and I think (and hope) that my actions pre-swap are not the deciding factor this evening. The points I did want to mention about the early days are that I was always in control, I had Poussey, Fish, Mindy, Sue, and even Olivia all trusting me, and none of them would have voted me off. I also was never in any real danger, as my connections have shown, and I made a lot of key relationships that would later be very important to me down the road (Poussey, Mindy, Sue) [spoiler=SWAP GAMEPLAY] Here is where I'm going to get even longer winded, because the swap is where I really started to play this game to survive at the beginning, and win by the end of the swap. When I first saw who was on my swapped tribe, I thought for sure that I was going to be screwed. Juliette had her entire secret group there, and I knew that she was going to be gunning for me, and her secret group, not knowing me, would likely listen to her. At this moment, Sue immediately became my number one ally in the game, as she was the only person that I could trust coming onto nuPrimaDonna. In order to be saved and not robbed from this game (in my opinion at least) I knew that I had to make alliances with big players. This is where Sister and Lana come in. Prior to the swap, Mindy and Olivia told me all about how Sister was a great big player, and how she had control over original Prima Donna. The second I saw her, I knew that I wanted to work with her since we were both big players with big targets on our backs. From Emily, I heard the same things about Lana. She was good socially over on Divine, and I knew that she would have my back as needed. From the first message I sent both of them, I wanted them to like me and trust me, and in a matter of only a couple of hours, that mission was accomplished. ![]() I wanted to create an alliance of two members for each original tribe to essentially pick off the people I didn't trust on nuPrimaDonna. This alliance would consist of Fiona, Lana, Sister, Regina, Sue, and I. This is the alliance that I wanted to form from the beginning of the swap. As I stated earlier, Sue, Sister, and Lana were all key players I knew I needed to keep on my side, and I picked the people I assumed they were closest with and went from there. A little while later, the alliance came into fruition (After a lengthy talk with Fiona about ditching her group and coming to us). I knew that Juliette was targeting me, because she didn't trust me on Supreme, and she was trying to get her whole secret group to follow. Luckily, this was confirmed to me by Victoria, and I turned the entire tribe against Juliette. There was no way that I was going to let her go any farther, because I didn't trust her and I didn't want her around. Nobody was going to change my mind (not even when Victoria "quit") So, she went and that's when our 2/2/2 alliance really solidified. Quinn went next, and I expected for the alliance to go much farther, but then we merged. [/spoiler] If you take nothing else from the swap, I want you to know that the important aspects of my swap game were that I didn't give up when I was fighting from an underdog position (this will happen again), I started to get close to Lana and Sister, two relationships I knew I needed to have to further my own game. I planned an alliance as soon as I saw who I had been put together with, and it happened. And I only received one vote during this whole time (the last one I would receive until the F4 round) even though I was in great danger. [spoiler=MERGE GAMEPLAY] So If you've skipped up till now here is what you need to know. In the pre-swap days I was in control and made key relationships with Poussey, Mindy, and Sue, and once I swapped I thought that I was on the bottom but I worked my way to the top through connections that I had made with key players like Sister and Lana. Once the merge hit, I was intimidated. I don't think any of us have ever merged with 18 people before, at least I haven't. But, as soon as we merged I tried to talk to every single person I possibly could, to see if they would be useful to me, and just because I enjoy talking to everyone ![]() As soon as the merge hit, I wanted to combine both of my strong alliances from the other two portions of the game, the Supreme 6 (aka the Sole Sisters of me, Mindy, Poussey, Sue, Olivia, and Fish) and the 2/2/2 alliance from the swap. However, I knew this was going to be a problem because everyone had different agendas, and I didn't want to stick out and get voted off, so I lay low for a little while. This is where I started to intentionally fade under Sister's wing. I knew that she was going to make all of the big decisions in the early stages of the merge, and I would follow along. However, I did know that eventually I wanted to get rid of her, since she would have made the end if I didn't. This was my plan from the very beginning of the merge. This is also the point that I knew Sue would be the most loyal person to me in the game, and that I wanted her to bring her to the end. Poussey alerted me to the fact that the idol group had stuck together in nuSupreme, and that Olivia had "changed". So, I knew that the idol group needed to be targeted, but I didn't want to strike just yet, because I knew a lot of them (Olivia, at the time, Mindy, and Sister) trusted me, and I didn't want to ostracize Haley, Constance, and Leslie, whom I had not yet met. ![]() For the first couple of rounds, I made Sister think she had all the power in the game, all while talking to the "other side" that was forming, and seeing what their input was. I knew Sister couldn't have too much power, so I started to plant seeds in everyone's heads that I would hope grew in upcoming rounds and bloom into something that would be beneficial for me: taking out the idols. I started this by telling Sister that "people were talking about how they feel Regina is protected by you," and the intention of this was to take out a blind Sister minion (which I would be called later in the game, but I hope I disprove that). At that point, I started talking to non idol girls such as Poussey, Lana and Moira and telling them that the idol group was a huge threat if they wanted to stick together, and that something should be done about it as soon as possible (this was at the F16). Meanwhile, I went to Sister and Mindy and told them that the idol paranoia was at a new high, what they didn't know is that I started it because I wanted them to prove their loyalty to me, and help me (and the other non idol people) take out someone with an idol. All of my planning and planting seeds came into effect when three idols were played at that one Tribal. I felt like I had caused a lot of paranoia on both sides, leading the idols to be played. I was playing both sides at this point of the game, and I was causing paranoia so people would gun for each other, and not for me. At this point, I thought I was in control, I thought that I had the power to do what I wanted and when I wanted to do it. But, I was proved wrong when Mindy was voted off. ![]() When Mindy was voted off, I knew that I was going to be a target soon after. Mindy and I were really close in the game, and at this point Sister still had her idol. This is where I went from thinking "I'm top dog" to "I'm underdog…" This is where i started playing the game one round at a time, using the classic "anybody but me" strategy, which I would continue using up until the F3. At this point, I didn't care who my allies were, I just always messaged people and said I wanted to make "one more round" For my own safety, I started to get closer to both Poussey and Haley, because I knew that they were both people that I think I could trust (Even though we had different opinions of things earlier in the game) I told them that I was open to working with them, and this was true. That round, I wanted Olivia out, and I thought that everyone else did too. Luckily, Sister used her idol and was saved, but Olivia only got three votes, and this pissed me off. From here, I felt like even more of an underdog than I already was. I thought I was untouchable when it came to being an ally, since I was "Sister's Minion." In order to prove this as untrue, I hopped right over to Poussey and Haley and told them I would do literally anything to further my game for at least one more round. Poussey said she'd protect me, and that I had to vote Constance. With the Constance vote, I was essentially ditching my alliance with Sister, with hopes of getting closer to Poussey and Haley, two people that I knew would take me far if I just worked with them. Here, I proved my loyalty to Poussey, and after Constance was voted off, a final four alliance of Poussey, Sue, Lana, and I was formed. Here, I had deals with both Sue and Lana that said I would take them to the F3 with me and Poussey. I knew this was putting me in a tight situation, but it kept me safe. When Sister was up for elimination, I fought for her not to go. I didn't have much of a use for her anymore, but she would be a failsafe vote, and I really liked her and wanted to keep her around, but i knew there was no way around that and she had to go. This leads to the F7, where the new alliance really solidified. Haley had started to talk to me about deals in this round, but at the same time she was targeting me and telling a different person a different target every minute, this confused me, so I knew Haley had to go, and that she did. Following that, it was Fiona that went. Fiona and I were close during the swap, but it was clear we had different agendas for the merge. ![]() In the final 5, I wanted Emily out. She was the only person who I wasn't aligned with, and the only person I didn't have any type of deal with at that point. However, as we all know Emily won immunity and Marie was put smack dab in the middle of two parties. I could either go with Emily and Lana (who were only together for convenience sake) and get rid of Poussey, or I could go with Poussey and Sue and get rid of Lana. In the end, as you know, I voted off Lana. I did this because she's played a perfect game, and I don't think she made any enemies. It broke my heart to do this, and I still feel bad about it, but I feel like I made the right choice. After that Emily lost the F4 immunity challenge, and was voted off. [/spoiler] So, after that long winded summary of my game from the merge, if you don't want to read any of that it's cool, but read this. The important things I did in the merge was tear the idol group apart by planting subtle seeds on both sides, I stayed with Sister for as long as I needed to, but I got rid of her when I needed to as well, I was an underdog for most of the merge, but I fought my way back up the ladder many times, I never won a challenge but I never actually needed to because I was NEVER a real target, I had many connections through the entire merge (of the final 14, I know of only four people at the time, Olivia, Haley, Leslie, and Emily who didn't have my back), and most importantly I never gave up. Conclusion I've fought in this game. Since the swap, nothing has been handed to me and I had to fight my way here. I know that a lot of you might see me as a Sister follower, but I hope through my opening statement I have proved otherwise. I deserve to win because I never quit, I was persistent, I had connections through the entire game that kept me safe, I was not carried here, and I always did what was best for my game, and it got me here. So, that's the end of this opening statement, I hope you at least read parts of it, and I'm seriously looking forward to seeing what you all have to say. I'll be answering everything with 100% honesty. Again, good luck Sue and Poussey, REPRESENT THE SISTERS ![]() ![]() [/align] |
