Elimin8ion: Live Topic [Game Over - Donovan Wins]

[Benji_]

I loved that task so much, great fun :D

I know we stayed up all night for a game which in the end we didn't even win :joker: oh the joys:p

[Kate!]

Sad that Kate left :(

I was happy I made it to jury :)

[Benji_]

I think the game for me went downhill as I didn't have motherly Kate to guide me:(

[Donovan.]

I'm getting so wrapped up in the Game Summary, that I forgot there was still a vote at the end of this:laugh:

[jackc1806]

I was happy I made it to jury :)

Yeah, unlike Joe oops

[Kate!]

Lol.

[Joe.]

Yeah, unlike Joe oops

you are the definition of whack, shut up and take your undeserved seat on the jury because you made no game moves whatsoever and look weak as ****.

DONOVAN TO WIN :worship:

[Benji_]

Yeah, unlike Joe oops

Awkward Jack...

[Kate!]

Behave Joe. :p

The next HoH task was a gambling task that saw players try and gamble points on the next card drawn from a deck. After a long battle it came down to Andy and Lee and everyone was sure Andy would get it, but the next card was not what anyone expected and Lee nabbed herself her second HoH in a row by guessing the opposite to him.

She put Jake and Jemal into the headlights this time around.

Making up for his earlier defeat, Andy pulled a triumphant win in Hangman to gain the PoV and he saved Jemal. Fonally Lee played the move that so many others in the game had been scared of by putting Roy on the final chopping block, thus sealing Roy's fate as he became the next eliminee with a very close vote of 4 -3 against Jake.

I did though...

:devil:

Someone is bitter

[Benji_]

Really there's arguments on the finale

[Z]

That whole HOH/POV task was nail biting, was so shocked that it was Roy v Jake at the end of it all!

[Kate!]

Me and Roy out in one fell swoop.

[Benji_]

oh ssh you two your worse than a married couple like;)

[Benji_]

I remember there was a triple eviction soon ahah

[Joe.]

shut up, ya'll really didn't think I was coming to the finale quiet did you? I've got scores to settle.

[Kate!]

Calm down Joe and don't ruin the thread. It's a game, have a minute.

[jackc1806]

shut up, ya'll really didn't think I was coming to the finale quiet did you? I've got scores to settle.

Donovan won his first HoH comp when a game of Mastermind was played, in which the players had to work out the codes. He chose to put Andy and Greg forward for the chop, overlooking strong competition in others.

Greg then won his third PoV comp, saving himself and forcing Donovan to choose Jemal to replace him.

In the vote, it was a hands down defeat for Andy, as he was voted out 6 - 0.

[Z]

I knew the clock was ticking when Donovan put me up...

[Donovan.]

Now we will proceed with the game, but I also said I would present your strategies, so randomly I'll post some players' with you.

Well Ben, I've done something very snakey but I'm glad I've done it I've made an alliance with 7/9 housemates so that there's a better chance of me staying longer Maybe I could form one with Andy and possibly Jake but we'll see I could always get stabbed in the back...

[Benji_]

Well this is awkward

[Donovan.]

Aww Benji considering making alliances "snakey" :love:

For the 8th HoH Comp the players had to play a game of Stop The Bus. They all had to send me answers for categories and give an answer from A-Z. They were then asked to resend answers but needed to try and give answers that nobody else had done. Drew won his second HoH and wasted no time in throwing Benji and Greg into the line.

Jack then won his first PoV, and in the only time in the game, left the nominations as they stood, leaving Greg and Benji up.

Greg then waved goodbye as only Lee and Jake tried to keep him, so he left with a close vote of 3 -2.

[Joe.]

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

After last night's result it is now one of the worst forums along with Sport :laugh:

it was awful! but i'm still watching it and hoping for a Judd/GM or possibly eve McCrae win! Anyone but rat Andy and disgusting floater Spencer!

With Greg's departure came a shock, he picked the next HoH, and chose Jake. There was no time wasted as Jake was forced to pick two players there and then. Benji and Lee were his targets and the PoV followed instantly.

A worried Drew saw that his chances of remaining in the game were short if his allaince left and pulled off a win to gain PoV and save Lee. Jake then replaced Lee with Donovan.

With only Drew voting to oust Donovan, Benji became the next player to leave.

[Kate!]

It's getting exciting.

[Benji_]

Thats what Ben needs to do ...make a social group with all of us in so we can all keep in touch the E8 crew:D

[Benji_]

Thanks Drew:)

[Kate!]

Thats what Ben needs to do ...make a social group with all of us in so we can all keep in touch the E8 crew:D

We can use jury house perhaps.

I gave that to Jake to say sorry for voting him out both times he was up, though I explained to him why privately at the time :laugh:

"Thanks for that vote Drew"
"wasn't me Donovan"

Hi Ben.

I am so glad that I have made the final 6. I like the situation at the moment- I have a strong alliance with Donovan and Jake. I also speak to Lee often about who we vote for. I think it was good that Benji left the game, he could have won. If I won HoH I would put two strong players up- definitely Drew. My strategy is similar to before stay friendly with the jury and members, but i've shown I will make the right decisions like when I didn't use PoV- that was to remove a bigger player and a threat in Greg.

[Kate!]

:joker: sneaky move from Drew there, good tactic though :D

[Benji_]

Well Jack..ehem

[Jake.]

I gave that to Jake to say sorry for voting him out both times he was up, though I explained to him why privately at the time :laugh:

Only one was explained :hmph:

[Jemal]

LOOOOOOOOOOOL. There you have it.

[Z]

Only one was explained :hmph:

:suspect: I explained both :suspect:

[Benjamin]

http://i41.tinypic.com/oseg5u.png



Thought it was time that I shared and aired some views really. Gutted Greg has gone, meaning I'm one team member down. My next task is to try and get Lee out, as she is the next biggest threat. If I won HoH I'd keep Lee free, wait for somebody to win PoV, allow me to chose and then I'd stick Lee up. The problem would be getting enough members on side.

[jackc1806]

Well Jack..ehem

I never voted against you. I was talking in terms of analyzing the game :hug:

[Jake.]

:suspect: I explained both :suspect:

No dear one dear :suspect: maybe you did I'm tired :laugh:

The final six were getting more anxious as with them all being fairly strong and active players.

Drew continued his dominance of the control by winning his 3rd HoH comp. He put forward Donovan and jack, much to the dismay of Lee who wanted to keep Donovan in a little longer.

Luckily, Donovan, as he seemed to do when he looked as if he was out of the game, clawed his way back and won the PoV, meaning Drew had to put either Jemal or Lee up, he regretfully chose Jemal, and this ensured Jemal's demise as he was then voted out of the game with 3 - 0.

[jackc1806]

I seriously cant be ****ed to change my sig :laugh:

The CENTRE bit is annoying :(

It was after this elimination that I started to be baffled by the actions of Donovan, Drew and Lee; and why they weren't turning on each other.

Just realizing that I won POV every time that I was nominated pre-veto:amazed:

Well done:D:D

I tried to take a back seat and also be good enough to get jury's vote which at that time i knew Roy and Andy were rooting for me.

[Donovan.]

http://i41.tinypic.com/oseg5u.png


With the next votes I'd also like people to tell me about their strategies so far, for the future and alliances they have had/have and targets they have.

My strategy to start was to not ruffle too many feathers and not look too competitive. That wasn't the case for the first two comps. I feel I was forced to try for that first veto though, since I think that I would have been eliminated over Jack. I've tried my hardest for the other comps, and I've been dead nervous every time that I've lost.

Now, I've decided to take that game one competition at a time; and, to not target anybody, instead target everybody. That's not to say I don't have a preference or don't have people that I'd like to keep around.

[Kate!]

Kate, come on do you not watch CBB?

Yes, I've seen the slut drop :laugh2:

[jackc1806]

Yes, I've seen the slut drop :laugh2:

I normally never would have won or taken HOH, but I needed to make sure Drew is gone so I had to take the risk. He is the only housemate I don't have a 'secret' alliance with( Zee as well now thinking about it). I could very easily be being played but I think I am in good with everyone in the cast. Joe and Benji the most out of them all. Me and Joe have been working together (he threw the task to me at the end as we agreed.). And Benji and I have been working together in a secret alliance for the past couple days. I decided after he nominated me and I won veto that it was a perfect time to talk to him about an alliance, and he was game. He did evict Saph over Lee but that was what he wanted to do and I did not want to push him this early in our relationship.

I did the same with Lee. After she was saved( after I tried really hard to get rid of her) I went up to her and asked for an alliance. She said okay, but, of course, I don't trust anyone but for now I would not mind working with her.

I am also working with Kate, Jack, and Donovan. But none of these three are as strong as the other ones. With Kate, I think we have an understanding that as two of the bigger targets we can't try to get each other this early. I'll get rid of her soon enough.

Jack and Donovan are tricky. I don't really know that much about them, so don't know what to expect but I think they are two people that I can trust. I think they also voted for Lee when I asked them to, so that is a plus.

Conor and I had an allaince, but it was the least useful for me so I had no problem putting him up plus I hope people won't be stupid enough to evict him over Drew.

I had an allaince with Jemal, but he doesn't like me so that would never have lasted.

Greg is someone I need to talk more to in the future

Novo is Novo

I will admit a huge flaw in my game is that I don't play small, I always go big and gamble everything. That is okay with me since this is just a forum game, if I was playing Big Brother in real life for real money, per say, it would all be different. I still think I might be gone soon, but right now I do not mind were I am sitting.

[Drew.]

i cant remember what i wrote

[Benji_]

And Here is were we all read Roy's essay..

Roy? I do like you.

[Donovan.]

I only had like 72, so I had the least.

[Kate!]

You did do really well Jemal.

[Benji_]

Well by looking at that Roy should be in the final.

[jackc1806]

Everyone knows Roy is sneaky :love:

Not a chance in hell

Roy not taking it seriously :worship:

it would be hilarious if he was! He may be sneaky but what a game he played... Where is our Roy Mars anyway?

The final 5 were all playing it big now, the finals were within reach. Lee's gained her 3rd HoH when the players found her token last in a scavenger hunt across the forum.

Much to the surprise of the Jury house, she put up Jack and Jake for the chop, but jake wasn't going down without a fight and won the PoV. Lee then had to nominate either Drew or Donovan, but decided to stick to her strongest alliance and put up Donovan.

But for Jack, he was out as again, much to the surprise of the Jury (and myself) they voted to keep Donovan in.

[Benji_]

He makes me laugh cause he comes across as so simple but nonono haha

-runs into the night-

Ben just assuming that they would vote me out :laugh2:

that was the part i regret most.. that was the best time to get rid of Donovan but we didnt

[Kate!]

Aww Jack :hug:

[Benji_]

This is final will go on allnight so guys get your coffees

[Jemal]

Im sorry but drew, what were you thinking....

[jackc1806]

It was foolish really. Donovan was/ obviously is now a huge threat so I didn't understand it. He does deserve it though

[Benjamin]

.

http://i41.tinypic.com/oseg5u.png




So far I have tried to keep my alliances few and far between but seem to have formed fairly good bonds with drew, Donovan and benji.

My strategy atm is to get rid of Roy as I know he wants me out. I have however formed an alliance with him, I've told him I trust him (ha!) and I will be honest with him (ha2). I'm hoping he thinks im stupid enough to trust him and maybe feed me info.. First chance I get, he's a goner!!

[Kate!]

Ben just assuming that they would vote me out :laugh2:

You were a big challenger, we were all surprised they didn't sacrifice you for their own benefit.

http://i41.tinypic.com/oseg5u.png


my vote is for Glenn to stay and for Jake to leave

reasons behind this are quite simple.. Jake will ruin everyones game plans because of his popularity he's more likely to cruise through the game and win. Having him leave and Glenn staying wont be a problem to any of us.. if anything it'll be an advantage. Kate and Glenn will be concentrating on eachother and are more likely to be trying to get eachother out and that takes the spotlight away from the rest of us. In case Jake does stay i have made sure he thinks Roy is after him so he will be targeting him.

[Benji_]

Thank god this is friday...so I can stay up as late as i wish:D

[MTVN]

Roy full of rubbish as always

[Drew.]

oh no

[jackc1806]

Can't wait for the jury voting to be revealed

[Z]

Drew :worship: we had the same logic for that elimination

[Kate!]

Lol, that's a long sig Drew.

[Benjamin]

.

http://i41.tinypic.com/oseg5u.png




The final four was here, and now loyalty would be tested. Drew and Lee were the solid allaince as Drew was trying now to get rid of Donovan, and vice versa, but too little too late because despite Drew winning his fourth HoH and placing Donovan and Jake (much to Jake's annoyance) on the line, Donovan won the PoV and saved himself.

So with Donovan casting the sole vote, in another move that surprised the Jury house, he chose to eliminate Jake and save Lee.

[Z]

I thought that was the weirdest move, Donovan. I know you explained it in the questioning but we in the jury couldn't fathom why none of you three had thrown each other under the bus by that point

[Benji_]

Who likes the minion?

[Donovan.]

Jake:( I hope you understand the reasons behind it now

[Drew.]

Drew :worship: we had the same logic for that elimination

i'm glad i wasnt the only person who tried doing that :laugh:

Lol, that's a long sig Drew.

is it quite big.. may have to shorten it a bit if its too long

[Jemal]

Seriously Donovan where you buzzin?
My theory is that drew Donovan and lee honestly thought that the jury wanted jake to win, which is why they got him out. That's my theory.
And also when i got eliminated i said i would be rooting for jack, next elimination - jack is gone. Lol.

[Kate!]

I'll second that. I thought you'd have eliminated Lee.

[Benjamin]

.

http://i41.tinypic.com/oseg5u.png




And so it came down to the final three.

Donovan, Drew and Lee. All thought they had made the final, but I had one final little surprise for them when I told them that they would be playing one last HoH comp.

It all came down to one question, which asked 'How many votes to eliminate had been cast so far?' with which Donovan pulled of his second and probably most important HoH win securing himself in the final.

He then had to choose either Lee or Drew to face off against in the final and after careful consideration decided that he had more chance of beating Lee than Drew...

[Donovan.]

I thought that was the weirdest move, Donovan. I know you explained it in the questioning but we in the jury couldn't fathom why none of you three had thrown each other under the bus by that point

I kept going back and forth, but I just thought that since they were a duo, it would be hard for the jury to decide between the two, and I could sneak away.

I just explained it again, didn't I?

[Z]

Yeah Jemal I think they were treating it like a popularity contest maybe... I can't speak for anyone else but I judged based on game play, not personal likes/dislikes

[Benji_]

beedo beedo beedo

[jackc1806]

Seriously Donovan where you buzzin?
My theory is that drew Donovan and lee honestly thought that the jury wanted jake to win, which is why they got him out. That's my theory.
And also when i got eliminated i said i would be rooting for jack, next elimination - jack is gone. Lol.

oh well

[Kate!]

I've judged on what I felt to be the most impressive game play also Zee.

[Drew.]

Seriously Donovan where you buzzin?
My theory is that drew Donovan and lee honestly thought that the jury wanted jake to win, which is why they got him out. That's my theory.
And also when i got eliminated i said i would be rooting for jack, next elimination - jack is gone. Lol.

i thought Jake would cruise through the game due to his popularity and not many people would put him up but i'd always hope the winner was decided on who played the game better

[GypsyGoth]

I think having Ben dressed up as a bear in his avatar helped Don win.

[Benjamin]

I am voting for Donovan to win. Both he and Lee have played great games, but I feel overall Donovan played it more low key and overall played smarter than Lee who I felt did some questionable things in terms of strategy.

Donovan.


Ok thanks. Here's my reasons and vote.

I thought my choice for winner would be an easy decision, from the moment I was eliminated myself my support was firmly in place for one of the eventual finalists, I strongly anticipated them winning even at that relatively early stage. It was tougher than I thought to actually make that decision in the end given that both Donovan and Lee played an excellent game. Having read their answers to the jury questions and final statements, I feel one of them showed themselves to have played a marginally more strategic and insightful game however.

Lee was told I was targeting her, a good tactic by whoever fed her that information, but it set her on the wrong track as in fact I never once nominated her for the duration of my time in the game, and only voted against her once, when others indicated to me they were voting that way.

Donovan seemed to have his finger on the pulse consistently, and the trust of virtually every player in the game. He was my choice from early on, and jury questions reaffirmed that he is indeed my choice for winner.

I vote Donovan to win.

I vote for Donovan to win. I think he has played a terrific game from the off, and whilst Lee has also, he just edges it for me

This has been an incredibly hard decision to make! I am voting for Donovan to win. Both Donovan and Lee played phenomenally well but I think Donovan just has the edge on Lee by a tiny little bit. Donovan has that killer instinct when it came to this game; getting a good balance of keeping a low profile but also winning HoH a couple of times and more crucially, winning POV a couple of times when he was up for elimination. He built strong alliances but wasn't afraid to turn on people and he did so at the right time. He fumbled it a little bit in the final 4; but in fairness, I think they all did - Donovan, Drew and Lee were scared to turn on each other because they knew that they had built up a strong team, so I think that was a weakness in their strategy; they really ought to have ousted one of the others in the final 5 and then tried to get rid of the other one in the final 3 - they made the mistake of thinking that we the jury would be basing it on popularity, which I would hope isn't the case, I'm basing this on game play. Ultimately I think they are both very worthy winners but Donovan just stands out as the slightly better player for me; he did it all!
Hi Ben

What a game it has been! First of all, a big thank you to you for spending a lot of time organising the game and being a fantastic host. When I signed up I didn't imagine it would be as gripping and engaging as it was- like it was real series of a BB type show and that is a testament to the effort you put in. I was so grateful to get as far as I did and the remaining 2 players Lee and Donovan have both played a great game and they both deserve the win. It is a hard choice, Donovan and Lee both had great game plans and I took that into account- taking it personally is silly. Lee created a situation for herself where she sailed through and that is a massive credit to her, a tactical triumph so to speak. Lee won a lot of challenges earlier on but I felt she took her foot off the gas towards the end whilst Donovan carried on. I must commend the tremendous effort of Donovan, finding time to play despite the different time zones. The amount of effort he put in throughout the process was incredible and also he had a few tricks up his sleeve. So for me it is an incredibly hard choice and I hope this is posted in the thread as I would like them to know it was a 51/49 decision- it was that close.

After a lot of thought my winner is Donovan

However the voting goes good luck to both, whoever wins is worthy.
I vote Donovan for the winner as I think he played a brilliant game and I think it's fair to say that he has been on a journey through out the game more than Lee and I think he'd be very greatful and happy to win so my vote goes for Donovan as he plays the best game!

if there's anything to take from the game from a personal level i ended it with the least amount of votes, no nominations and most amount of HoH's, pretty happy with that

You played a fantastic game also, I am honestly surprised that you lasted this long because of those things.
