I knew coming into this game I would be a big threat, so instead of trying to dominate the game and control lots of things like I did in the last two seasons that I played, instead my game plan this season was to pit people against each other, and to do that I had to be in alliances from all sides of the house. I was in an alliance (Corona’s Cells) with Sle/Kate & Aaron and Cal, and another alliance (The Orgy) with Mitchell and Ant. I also spoke to Adam too. What I didn’t expect was the genuine relationships I formed with people. I loved getting to know Kate, Aaron, Marc and Barry more, I had already spoken to Sle on discord, and I was friendly with Mitchell and Ant but this game really brought us closer together.
Week 1: I found the hand sanitiser and used it correctly as Marc was going to nominate me. If I hadn’t done that, I could’ve been out week 1. Not only that, but I also decided to work with Marc after this, as my plan was to have a great social game, so it would reduce the amount of people going after me. I could’ve just targeted him if I wanted to, but I took a different route.
Week 2: I won HoH and nominated Sherzy because I simply wasn’t working with him and thought he had a lot of alliance members. But I also nominated Shaun, who was my main target because he was inactive and I wanted the game to be fun. But Shaun walked anyway so I got my wish without having to worry about being the third nominee. My original plan was to not tell a single soul that I had won HoH as it was a secret, and you know they say loose lips sink ships, but that twist kind of flopped, so I told people that I won HoH so they would trust me more too.
Barry then joined the game and we brought him into the Corona’s Cells. At that point Sle left but I was still talking to him. Most things that were said I would feed back to Mitchell and Ant, and I would also tell the Corona’s Cells members things to put targets on other people such as Matthew and Sherzy and would even agree with them if they talked about targeting Mitchell and Ant, because I wanted both sides to go after each other, and I think I did that successfully.
Week 3: This was the group challenge. Myself, Ant and Mitchell devised a plan where mine and Mitchell’s team would win, because Ant had his hand sanitiser and would be safe. Ant wanted to evict Marc at first, but I was getting close to Marc at this point, so I told Marc to message Ant to change his mind, and Ant then evicted Barry. If I hadn’t had done that then Marc who I was close to would’ve been evicted. I didn’t really want Barry to go either, but in my effort to not be too controlling I had to let him go. But Matthew getting evicted was good for my game, because he was a threat and I believed him to be working with Sherzy, who I saw as a huge threat.
Week 4: I did want to win this HoH as Sherzy was still in the game, but Mitchell won anyway and nominated Sherzy and Kate. Sherzy nominating me confirmed that he was going after me too, but then when he walked I was in a bad situation as I was up against my ally Kate. Luckily my Orgy alliance member Ant won PoV, used it on me and Sle went up as the replacement. With Sherzy now gone, I was working with every remaining player in the game except for Tony who I knew was with Ant and Mitchell, so this was where it got difficult. Sle and Kate getting evicted wasn’t the best, but whoever went now was going to be an ally of mine, I just had to make sure that it wasn’t me who sent them home.
Week 5: This was the week of the triple eviction. It was going to be tough, do I win the HoH, secure my safety and turn on some alliance members? No, I decided to throw the HoH, risk my safety and have one side of the house take shots at the other. I worked with both sides during Majority Rules, answering mostly with Aaron and Marc, as I knew Mitchell and Ant were answering with Tony. Strangely I still tied with Mitchell and Ant. Did I think about winning and turning on them and getting them out? Of course, but in the end I threw the tiebreaker because I knew that winning would piss some people off, in the knowledge that Ant or Mitchell could win and simply nominate me. But I believed in my social game that it wouldn’t happen. It was sad that Marc and Aaron were evicted, but I didn’t have a hand in evicting them because I played smart - Mitchell evicted Marc and I was the one vote to save Aaron, knowing that if Aaron knew I was staying loyal to him, he would drag Tony, which he did. Now that Tony was out, I was working with everyone.
Week 6: This week I realised that I had to fulfill my plan of going to the end with winners as it would be my best shot of winning (especially as Adam was a favourite with the jury). Myself, Ant and Mitchell devised a plan that whoever won HoH would save Mitchell (as he wasn’t on his laptop) and the remaining person would battle Adam in the veto. I won my 2nd HoH and saved Mitchell, with Ant beating Adam. Adam then revealed he would’ve cut me too, confirming my gut feeling that I couldn’t take him to the end.
Week 7: The final HoH. Although Mitchell said he wanted me and Ant to take each other to the end, this was my chance to make a decision for myself and to not just rely on my social game which is why I was so determined to win it. After winning the HoH, I kept my word and evicted Mitchell, bringing Ant to the final 2.
Okay, so instead of trying to be a manipulator like in OTT1, or a mole in OTT2, you might say I was the rat in this season: Pandemic. The funny thing about rats is that they spread diseases very easily, and during pandemics that is not a great thing for everyone else. But the thing is, you all let this rat into your games and infect you. I had the most friends in this game, people wanted to work with me. I didn’t set up most of my alliances except for maybe one. I had pockets all around the house (Myself, Sle, Kate, Aaron and Matthew AND Myself, Kate, Aaron and Barry AND Myself, Kate, Aaron and Marc AND Myself, Ant and Mitchell AND I had an ally in Adam up to a certain point too). But it wasn’t just for the game, I also feel like I made stronger connections with you all and got to know you all a lot better personally too. I didn’t not just take shots at people for the game, but it was also getting personally difficult for me to turn on people. I couldn’t evict you Kate, Sle, Aaron, Marc, and Barry but for the game I had to let other people do it as I really do like you all. Even Adam I didn’t directly evict you. Whoever won the competitions in my mind would be the people I would have to let take shots, so if it had been you guys that had won comps I would’ve let you evict Ant and Mitchell.
I’m now up against someone who has already won this game before. I’ve been so close to winning this game twice now, but have always failed. They say that third time’s a charm, now you have the magic vote to make this Wizard’s OTT win come true. Thank you
