Obviously my strategy took a huge blow when practically all of my allies in the game quit after all being nominated via a twist. I was being pressured into quitting too but ultimately I stuck to my guns and decided to stick it out until I was inevitably evicted in like 2 days. I realised the only way from then on that I could guarantee my safety was by winning competitions. Since then, I won 4 HOH's and 4 POV's. I often used the POV on Pete not only to keep him safe, but to deflect away attention from other strong relationships and alliances I had with other people, and I think it worked.

I definitely enjoyed this game much more than I have before because pretty much everyone evicted from Jarrod's eviction onwards were great at doing comps and playing the game, so it made me a lot more invested in the game and felt even more rewarding when I won challenges. I'm not gonna dwell on game too much in this speech since I'll answer questions more in detail with the Jury questions, but I like to think I played a good game and whatever happens, it's been so fun, and I'd really like to thank Tom for running this game despite all the quits, near-quits and controversy he's had to deal with :laugh:

So, yeah, I'm glad to have also met new members on here who I'd never spoken to before and formed real bonds with them (hopefully) and hopefully will get to chat to them more on here!

I don't really know what else to say tbh until the jury questions so, here's a pic of Christine to sum up how I'm feeling

Well what a fun game we've all played! When we started on launch night, and all the names were revealed, I didn't know any of you and thought I never stood a chance to get past the first eviction, but look where we are now! Every night has been shocking when I've found out that I wasn't being evicted, and the thought of getting to play in another competition made me even more happy! I truly hope I've made a few friends in this game, as being a new comer to these games, well these forums in general, I saw that you all bonded and knew each other and now I hope I am a part of that community :big smile:

Now onto explaining my game plan, as now we're at the end I feel like I should be honest with what I've been planning. For the first couple of days in the game I didn't message anyone for an alliance, because I didn't know anyone- fearing that it would make me look desperate or whatever and that would make me a target. However, I messaged Hayden on night 2 maybe, and since then I can reveal we have had a Final 2 alliance. I never thought it was possible back then, but as we both continued in the game each night it made me more hopeful that our Final 2 would work, and it did! Then after about a week into the game I was invited into the Rebellion alliance consisting of myself, Hayden, Pete, Daniel, Troy and with Calderyon not in the alliance per se but on our side. We had the majority, and seeing as I wasn't really close with anyone else, I thought that numbers on my side would be an advantage. One by one we evicted the opposing alliance and strong competitors leaving four of us in the final. My plan was to stay low throughout the majority of the game (despite the drama's which was nothing personal on anybody, they were mainly out of boredom) as an underdog type figure, and come out at the end winning competitions (which I did win a few) so I had power in the game.

I have played a very loyal game (despite evicting Pete, but I did have to evict someone from my alliance and Hayden didn't want his friend Petes blood on his hands, so myself not being as close to Pete did the deed), a tactical game, a social game and at times an emotional game. I'm so glad to have made Final 2 with my main ally Hayden, who has played a phenomenal game, who was definitely a comp beast. But, if you would like to vote for me to win then that would be the icing on the cake. Can you imagine if I won my first ever TiBB game? That would be insane. But the choice is yours, and I hope you make the one you want. Thank you houseguests, you've all been great and I'm kinda sad this has ended :love:
