Hey you guys. First of all, I'm honored to have played this game with y'all and I have to say that it was not easy to get here.
Ok, now onto my gameplay. Right off the bat, when everyone picked their rooms, some of the Bedroom 1 members instantly decided to stick together and we made an alliance. It consisted of myself, Joe, Janelle, Alison, Daniele and Russell. However, I knew that this would work only for the first few weeks, cause sooner rather than later we would have to start throwing each other under the bus. And I was right. James, Zach and Drew were evicted because they clearly were the least active players in the game and there was a consensus that they had leave. After that, on week 4, I finally gained power. I became the Head Of Household for the week for the first time. Back then, I really didn't have anyone to turn to besides my main alliance (the Bedroom 1 members) and Beau, who I had made an agreement with previously. But Beau, as a great player he was, did an awesome job of convincing me to target Russell. Next to Russell, I put Dustin up on the block because we basically hadn't talked much. As soon as I got the chance to talk to Dustin and explain to him why he was put up, he apparently understood my reasonings and we made an "alliance" and promised to have each other's back. Russell went home. As planned. By me.
Then Beau became HOH and I remembered the first thing I told Alison was "I think we're screwed. I really do". As much as I wanted to believe that Beau was not going to nominate us, I knew he was. I mean, he had already proved not to be dumb, and I'm not dumb either. He made a smart move by putting me and Ali up cause we had power. That was unquestionable. It wasn't fun, I must admit. That, I would say, was my lowest point in this game. I was mad. I failed at the POV competition and I was a final nominee. That sucked. But great things were about to happen. Until this exact moment, I hadn't realized how good my social game actually was. Not only did Ali almost quit for me to stay, but I also got to grow a lot closer to Natalie and Daniele because of the situation I was in. Another thing that I noticed while I was up on the block against Alison, was that Joe blindly trusted me. I mean, I fooled the bitch. Beau showed him a conversation we had in which I asked him to take Joe out instead of me or Ali, and when Beau exposed me to everyone, Joe didn't believe him. It was ridiculous. Ali and I both knew Beau was telling the truth! That was when I decided I was going to take Joe to the final 2 with me! I mean, he can sit here and tell y'all that he was nice to everyone and played a decent game, and that's totally true. He did play a good game, he's in the final 2 duh, and he was nice to everyone. There's only 1 thing that I think lacked in Joe's gameplay. Control. He had none. I know you all probably hate me now, but if you look back you'll see that you TRUSTED ME at some point in the game. I had control. Not the type of control that I would tell you what you do and be like the ''leader", but I knew I could say things to most of you and you wouldn't tell anyone about that. I knew most of you believed me and were loyal to me. That's a HUGE thing in this game. To gain trust.
To sum it up, I won 4 competitions, I had a nice social game, I made bold and risky moves and I believe I earned the title of winner of Big Brother Duplicity 2.
Thank you for your attention.
