My Game EXPOSED by me.
TiBB OTT
My whole strategy in this game was to divide and conquer. I didn't come here to make friends and be adored, I came here to win the TIBB Over The Top forum game award!
In the beginning myself and Morgan aligned ourselves with vets and newbies. Our vet alliance was with Amy Jade, Hayden and RobertC, our newbies alliance was with Josh, Jake and BBUK-Fan. Our plan was to have enough numbers to control the voting to get those housemates not in our alliances out, then when the time came, we would turn on the vets alliance and get them out and carry the newbies at the end as TiBB was voting the winner and we thought we would have a better chance against them. Little did Morgan know I planned cutting him at final 5 and taking Josh and James or Jake with me. I also created a relationship with Ant and I spoke to Lewis quite a bit too, just to be more secure.
My team won the first immunity task which was AMAZING as all my allies were in that team and we all won immunity from the first eviction. Unfortunately, two of my allies (Morgan and Robert) were in the losing team but with the punishments we had to give out I knew I could disadvantage the people I wanted evicted. I made it seem like we would give the "Save Someone" power to someone by putting all the name in a random generator but I actually made Josh fake the result so that Morgan would win and be safe. I also pushed for "Automatically facing eviction" to Cal because he's a threat both in competitions and public vote and "No Care Packages until everyone else has had one" to Lee because he received more votes in the TiBB Nominations final so I knew he was popular, but I made it seem like the others were making this decision to deflect over my decision making so they wouldn't see me as an aggressive player. I then threw the first POV competition as even though one of my allies were at risk, I didn't want to win and then have to use it on Robert as it would expose our alliance and I also didn't want to be seen as a competition threat so early on in the game. With all my alliance members voting, I had the pull to get Cal evicted.
I then won the first HoH which I didn't want to do at first because I didn't want a target on my back however when it came down to myself and Lee, I wanted to win because we weren't aligned and I wasn't sure what he would do with nominations. During this HoH, Daniel tried forming an alliance with myself and Lewis and Ant however I was already working with Lewis and Ant and didn't want to get caught by my other alliances by being put in the social group so me and Daniel made a deal to not nominate each other. I then nominated Marc and Lee for eviction, because I hadn't spoken to either of them during the game, they nearly beat me in the HoH and they were threats to receive Care Packages due to popularity. Marc was my target because he could receive Care Packages whilst Lee had the punishment meaning that he couldn't. But at the same time, I wanted Lee gone sooner rather than later because when he ultimately is able to receive Care Packages, they will be the most powerful ones which I don't want to happen further down the line. At the POV, I threw it to Ant so that either Marc or Lee would be evicted and I wouldn't make myself a target, but it also made Ant trust me more and owe me a favour. I also let my alliances vote for whoever they wanted just so that I didn't seem too controlling.
When the double eviction was announced I was worried because 4 people were going to go up, however in the HoH I was paired with Marc who I knew was targeting me meaning either
A) We would both win HoH and he couldn't put me up
B) I would throw the HoH hoping someone would target him
So I threw the HoH because I didn't want a target on my back, Marc could be nominated and I told my allies that I was throwing it so it seemed like I was doing them a favour as they also wanted Marc out. I tried my best to give answers to Morgan and Ant as those were the two people that I trusted the most who I knew wouldn't nominate me. Unfortunately they lost by half a point but Hayden and Josh won, both of whom I was aligned with. However, Ant told me that he found the claw which enabled him to dethrone an HoH. After discovering that Josh would nominate Amy Jade and Ant with Amy Jade as a target, I persuaded Ant to use the claw as he said he would nominate two pawns whilst Hayden would nominate Marc and Jake ensuring that Marc would be evicted. I also didn't want Ant to use the claw the following week because I knew he had Daniel and Lewis' back who I knew I would need gone within the next couple of evictions and he would never have nominated them.
I started planting seeds with certain people against people so that they would start taking shots at each other so that I wouldn't have to and also it would deflect off of me. I planted a seed between Ant and Hayden so that they would go after each other, I got James to go against the alliance of Daniel, Lewis and Ant and Amy-Jade and Josh had their feud too. I wanted to use Ant to take out Hayden, James to take out Ant and Josh to take out Amy Jade.
Jake then walked, we were aligned but it wasn't too troubling. Then it was a single eviction, at POV I did plan to win because I couldn't have Marc winning the boomerang veto, however once it came down to me and Hayden I threw it because if I had won I wasn't going to save James as I knew he wasn't going but I didn't want him to be mad at me and I trusted that Hayden wouldn't use it so we could evict Marc. It would also make Hayden a bigger target, now winning 3 comps.
The third HoH comp was a 24 hour endurance comp, and after all my manipulating throughout the game I decided I wanted a break so didn't really gun for it. I knew I was safe and knew who everyone was targeting and I knew it wasn't me. Yes there was TiBB's nominee, but there was still the veto and Care Package if TiBB nominated me so I knew I'd have 2 chances to get off the block. Knowing that Ant would win HoH after he slayed the task, the seeds I planted against Hayden were paying off and Ant wanted Hayden as a target. So I influenced him to put up two pawns, to make Hayden feel safe so that he wouldn't gun for the veto, then someone would win the veto, pull a pawn off and put Hayden up. I know I was aligned with Hayden but I was aligned with the whole house and I knew he needed to go soon or he would get to the end and I couldn't pass this opportunity up as I didn't know if it would arise again. Unfortunately TiBB nominated Hayden for eviction which I knew would mean he would gun for the veto and then he won the veto so I wanted Robert out this eviction as James was in my plans to take to final 3.
Josh then won HoH which was GREAT because he's in my final 3 plans and I knew I was safe with him. I knew he would nominate Amy because of their feud, but I was worried he would nom Ant because of Ant stealing his HoH, so I suggested to Josh that he nominate Hayden and used the reason that Hayden wasn't happy when they won joint HoH. Low and behold Josh did exactly what I wanted and Amy and Hayden were on the block! Then my final 2 partner Morgan won POV, I really wanted to win so that I could save Amy Jade as she was asking to be evicted, then we could put a pawn up to send Hayden home. BUT then Morgan wanted to save Hayden which I really wasn't happy about but then I guess it kept a bigger target in the game for a little while longer. I then had to sadly evict Amy Jade due to mine and Daniel's deal and she was a number for Hayden.
Then it was a fake eviction and Amy was HoH which threw a bit of spanner in the works, however I felt like I did enough damage control to stay in Amy's good books and stop her from nominating me. Although it did screw up my plans as Lewis and Morgan were nominated who I knew wasn't coming after me. I wanted to win the veto as I wanted to secure my safety and I wasn't sure if Amy would backdoor me as I did vote to evict her, I wasn't going to use the veto but leave noms the same so that James could cancel 3 eviction votes and we would evict Lewis. But of course the POV was a luck comp so Lewis won, meaning either myself or James would be the replacement nominee and one of my main alliance members were going to be evicted. Luckily I avoided being put on the block, meaning that I was the last person to be nominated in the series. As me and Hayden were the only two people voting to evict along with TiBB we decided to vote together and get someone we both wanted out of the game. We decided to evict James, and my reasoning was that he was a lot harder to control than Josh and Morgan were and he kept saying he wanted to leave the game so I helped him! Although that did come back to bite me, as he started sending screenshots to people which ruined my ENTIRE game. James, I was going to take you to final 3 you douchebag!
I then won my 2nd HoH at the double eviction was amazing as I needed to start building up my competition portfolio as it was only a week before the final and to also ensure my safety however it was going to be difficult choosing nominations as I was pretty much with the whole house so two people were going to be pissed off at me. Should I try and get Hayden out and make the whole house happy, then Amy would be pissed off at me. Or do I put up Lewis and Daniel and target Lewis who was good at competitions, but that would leave Hayden in the game for longer and harder to get out later on. It all depended on who won the Co-HoH care package.
Ant won the Care Package and apart from Josh winning it that was the next best option because I knew we could discuss who to put up together on the block. I nominated his two closest allies Lewis and Daniel and he nominated mine Morgan and Josh, which there was nothing I could do about, but I did suggest that we backdoor Hayden should either one of our nominees be saved from the block. I hoped that one of Ant's nominees would be saved so that we could backdoor Hayden the biggest comp threat, meaning from my side Lewis could be evicted leaving Daniel who I was considering taking to the final 3 now as he had been pretty inactive.
At the veto, myself, Josh and Morgan traded coordinates for the "Battleship" competition so that we wouldn't eliminate each other so we could save one of them and backdoor Hayden. However things got messy when I accidently hit Ant’s ship after he gave me his co-ordinates so he started taking me out, then Hayden got my co-ordinate so I then knew Ant told Hayden my last co-ordinate and something fishy was going on. Amy ended up winning the veto, and Ant backstabbed me and tried to turn things against me. It was then revealed that Morgan also backstabbed me by blabbing my whole game to Amy to try and save his ass, so then I realized had I probably not won this HoH, I would’ve been evicted.
Then Hayden and Amy voted to evict Josh and Morgan, my allies, whilst leaving Daniel and Lewis in the game, the people I nominated. I felt truly alone in the game at this point and knew it was fight or go home. It showed they clearly sided with Ant. With the house against me, I tried to re-build the relationships that I thought were salvageable (Amy and Hayden) by letting them know if I'm evicted then they'll be in the minority against the Bad Girls Alliance of Ant, Lewis and Daniel. However, it felt like they weren't listening to me so I knew I had to switch up my game and use TiBB's influence to get what I wanted. Firstly I started by campaigning to get people to vote for someone else to be TiBB's nominee, I didn't ask for anyone specific incase the person liked them and it leaked back, but even if someone else was nominated I still had to win HoH to not be a normal nominee and continue my streak of not being nominated. For the first half of the game I wasn’t nominated due to my social game, but from now on I had to pull a THAT Kevin Martin and win out from Final 6. I could also use not be nominated as a way of saying that the public don't hate me and that they actually might like the way I played the game.
