Before the final Head of Household was to be held each of the final three took some time to reflect on the game...

NATE

I came in a day later than everyone else and felt at a huge disadvantage. I've also never played with any of these people before and haven't played an ORG in over four years...I'm shocked I've made it this far, but quite proud! I'm surprised that Stacey's floated her way this far, but it makes sense in terms of the way this game has gone - targeting threats.

VELVA

Cealey is who I will be taking to the F2. We have had an alliance since the beginning of the game and have worked well together throughout this game.

I think I have a chance of winning because I played an honest game and didn't make any promises I couldn't keep. But I could also be viewed as a floater which could hurt my chances whereas Cealey/Nate took risks in the game and may get respect votes even if they didn't always keep their promises.

CEALEY

final three! holy crap. it just really hits you when you get that point of no return. i dont know! i think i deserve to be here. i worked hard and put up with alot of bull. i tried to be everyone's friend and i got called things such as a bitch to being a man.. i've been called everything and anything all because i knew how to separate friendship from game play. right now i think i can take on anyone and anything. i proved to be a good player, no one can take that away from me. win or lose.

As the final HoH approached Nate tried to see if Cealey would throw it to him...

Cealey: I thought about that; but I knew in the end of the day I could trust you.
Nate: So I was thinking last night as i was falling asleep and this is clearly only a suggestion but since we're both f2 anyway as long as we beat Velva, I'd be wiling to win and be the one to actually vote her out though if you'd rather do so, that's fine
Cealey: I think we should see what the challenge is; like personally I don't want to vote out Velva. Clearly. But I want to try if I am able to actually win it.
Nate: Right
Cealey: If I don't think I can win it I can just help you win it.
Nate: Ok that works. I think if you vote out Velva, she'll hold much more of a grudge against you, you know? Like if Velva voted out Eric.
Cealey: Yeah.
Nate: Anyway, just wanted to check in, let you know the random thoughts I had last night, we're both shoe-ins for All Stars 2!
Cealey: I know!! But so is Devon>
Nate: Hahaha! We can mend our ways with him after the game. Hopefully. Let's see how he bitches us out in the jury.
Cealey: He's going to act so better then us in jury, yet he's the only one who is sitting there.
Nate: Exactly, and that's what we can say. Would I take back what I did to him? Would I take back what I did to him? No. If I hadn't used the Diamond Veto to put him up, it'd be him/Stacey/Sarah final three.
Cealey: Honesty if he didn't scheme so much, the final three would of been us three.
Nate: That's really true. Oh what could have been. Maybe in All Stars 2? We can try that final three.

CEALEY

Velva: Good luck on this challenge tonight.
Nate: Thanks you too! And after we figure out who wins, we should talk.
Velva: Definitly.
Nate: We've come so far to be booted at final three.
Velva: I know, I can't believe we are finally this close.
Nate: I know! And I know we've never made an official F2 but I think our teamwork in alliance and comps, throughout the game speaks volumes.
Velva: We have always worked well together.
Nate: I guess I'm saying, I'm not sure what kind of agreement you have with Cealey, if at all, but if you win the last HoH, I hope you're open to looking at either option. Because I am.
Velva: I'll keep an open mind about everything.

The final three were waiting all day for the final HoH to begin. It's a Secrecy tradition and they were in for some fun remembering...

For this HOH there are 18 quotes, each quote is from an evicted player (Tye, Matty and Molly do NOT have a quote). Each evicted player has atleast one quote said by them and no more then three. Each of you have 6 quotes about you. The **** stand for one of your names.

What you must do is post in your Diary Room the answers to these quotes. You must say which of you the quote is about and you must also say who said the quote.

You can get 2 points for each question, so there is a possible 36 points. You can get one of the two wrong, and still get a point. If you get neither right, you get 0 points, if you get both right you get 2 points for the question. The winner is the person who gets the most points. If there is a tie then whoever posted their questions first will win the last HoH.

Before the houseguests were locked into separate rooms to do the challenge both Velva and Cealey took one last chance to wish each other luck...

Cealey: I think you'll win this.
Velva: I don't know about that. It's going to be hard to figure everything out.
Cealey: Nate says he probably won't do good. I think its between you and me.
Velva: I wish it would be.
Cealey: If Nate win HoH he's basically won the game.
Velva: I really think either you or Nate will win, both of you have been tough competitors and very social. I think you have a better chance.
Cealey: They are all mad at me. Nate has won 8 challenges and had the secret Blue Veto. He was only nominated once.
Velva: But I've seen people vote for those they are mad at, but you were also good at challenge.
Cealey: I think I have a shot, just I thin he's got it in the bag if he wins this last HoH.
Velva: I don't think I have any chance of winning it, although I will try.
Cealey: You deserve whatever place you get, even a winning position. Everyone plays the way they play, as long as you try and don't give up. No one can say you don't deserve to win.
Velva: Thanks I appreciate that, I think this is the time we all get paranoid.
Cealey: I agree, let's just do our best and hope for the best!

VELVA

1) I feel like I trust Devon and **** the most right now. I don't know if it's fully, but it's pretty close. I'd like to see either one of them with me in the finals. It doesn't really matter who. I do think right now that I'd have a better chance of beating **** than Devon, but I don't like to play by taking weak people with me.

Sarah said this about Nate


2) My team made me pisssed! I hate working with **** because they think Im an idiot and wouldnt even let me do any part of the challenge anyway. Im glad we got an All Star though, cause they did end up winning it for us.

Stacey said this about Cealey


3) Talking with everyone has been great so far. **** is definitely one of my favorites right now. They are such a fun person to talk to, and we definitely share a lot of similar interests. They're probably the most likable person I've met so far, so of course you've got to look at them and think what a major threat they could be down the line.

Jenna said this about Cealey


4) I just solidified a pact of sorts with **** that we won't vote for each other. Of course, because of Operation X, this actually means I will be voting for them if they're nominated, but hey, it's a secret! That's what this game is all about.

Devon said this about Velva


5) **** is always on and is always talking to people and they can adventuly be a treate in the game. So it might be good to take them out now earlier in the game and the weeker players later on in the game.

Charlie said this about Nate


6) I have made two official alliances in the game. One with Molly which is going to be torn apart by the end of this vote and one with **** to keep my butt in this game. I'm working on making more deals with Devon, Nate, Stacey and Jenna. I don't feel like I've made any enemies. I haven't been able to catch people online to talk with them but that's no reason for them to hate me.

Eric said this about Velva


7) **** is very talkative and has a great personality. I really do enjoy their company. However, this is a social game and social competition will have to be taken out. Kicking **** out soon would probably further me in the game as I see them turning into a huge threat in the future.

Travis said this about Nate


8) I really hate being nominated especially against someone that I geniunely like in the game and wished to work with a lot longer then its being allowed. **** is a good person and deserves to stay as much as I do. I hate that Im up against them. But the HoH really sucks, so what can I do? I hope that I stick around, I really want too.

Sammi said this about Nate


9) **** won HOH! I'm really, REALLY glad to hear this because it means I'm safe. But at the same time, I'm a little bit concerned because it also means while I can influence the nominations, they have the final say. And I might not like their final say. The thing is, **** has been quite ridiculously crazy in this game so far, and I'm starting to not trust them.

Devon said this about Cealey


10) I feel that if they want to make this whole BS as "hiding behind the shadows" then the player would be ****, not me. This is ridiculous. I really think I will stay though, and I should stay.

Sarah said this about Velva


11) I really want to put up **** Beacuse even though we are like kinda allined and looking out for each other I can tell they have MUCH bigger plans then that. and i know somthing is going on. but maybe they will maybe try to loure me in to her secret whatever and i might be able to create some kind of plan later to stay longer in the game but that is way in the futur.

Charlie said this about Cealey


12) If I won the power I would have just done Devon's dirty work and take myself out and nom **** in my place. Why? It would have been interesting and about time.

Stacey said this about Nate


13) Eric going doesn't effect me at all. I guess it might because didn't someone once think that I had an alliance with Eric and ****? I guess that's screwed up now.

Stacey said this about Velva


14) I love **** but I want to be at the end of this game. I am going to start fighting just as dirty as the rest of them and if it gets me to the end then I'll be happy and take the consquences then.

Eric said this about Velva


15) I'm trying though and that should count for someone. Even with a relationship and a job (to where Im working like 40 hrs a wk) I still make time to talk to everyone and try to be geniunely concerned about who Im talking too and what we're talking about. I cant help it if some people bore me cough **** cough.

Sammi said this about Velva


16) I don't know who **** is. I don't know if they're nice or mean anymore, but at this point no one believes a word that comes out of their mouth and they have just gotten to the point of extreme annoyance.

Sarah said this about Cealey


17) I am freaking out because if I get put up and am up against someone like ****, chances are I'm going to be out. I don't like that. I've worked to hard to stay to be out now. We're so close to jury. I didn't handle my losing very well

Eric said this about Cealey


18) **** is by far the person I trust the most at this point in the game, but even so I don't trust them that much. I haven't told them many of my secrets and I don't plan to. Howeve **** and I definitely seem to have the same agenda and the same ideas, so hopefully we'll stick together for the duration of the game.

Devon said this about Nate

Each of the final three took their time to answer each quote and each felt unsure if they would win or not. When all three were finished it was time to reveal who would be crowned the final Head of Household...

In last place with 20 points is........

VELVA

This means either Cealey or Nate has won the last HoH. One has 23 points while the other has 26 points, meaning only 3 points will decide the winner.

With 26 points the final HoH winner is....

NATE

Nate was shocked to have won but knew he had to evict either Cealey or Velva. Both were given a chance to plead their case after congratulating Nate...

Velva: Congrats Nate!
Cealey: Good job boy!
Nate: Holy shit... sigh.

CEALEY

Nothing I can do or say can change what Nate thinks; he knows my every secret in this game, I've never had to really lie to him. He knows the strategical side I chose to play in this game.

Cealey: Smart boy!
Nate: I love you, but you're by far this season's best player.
Velva: I feel so bad Cealey!
Cealey: Don't feel bad, I feel so relieved. I adore you both so much.
Velva: I wish all three of us could be in the finals.
Cealey: How can I be mad? Toss me to the dogs!
Velva: You played a great game
Nate: <3
Cealey:  Later boy and girl. <3

As Cealey walked into the jury house the plasma screen in the living room turned on showing all seven of the jury members, now including Cealey. Nate and Velva were now about to face the jury and were immediately asked to give their opening statements...

NATE

hey y'all

first, it's an honor to be in the final 2 and i look forward to your questions/comments. thank you all for a fun and crazy game.

i feel i deserve to win bbs6 and hope to convince you of that below. however, y'all have the ultimate power of deciding tbhe winner and i hope to earn your respect in the jury q&a. as part of that, i want to finally cast all secrets aside and talk directly and openly about the two most important parts of my strategy: my social game and competitions.


social game:

i started the game on day 2 (after jeremy left the game) and felt like an underdog from the beginning. i'd missed the first blue veto competition (and my only chance to meet matty or jenna, it turns out) and had to hit the ground running. my social strategy was simple: to build genuine friendships with people to make it through the early-mid game and then make use of key alliances and trust to make it to the end.

very early on in the game, an alliance between me, cealy, and devon was formed and that worked to our equal and mutual advantage for the majority of the game. only when i had reason to distrust devon and the opportunity arose to vote him out (in round 7 after i won the diamond veto) did his part in the alliance end, but my alliance with cealy lasted through the final 3. the alliance was beneficial for both of us (and for devon until his departure) and it was a true alliance in that we all contributed socially and in challenges. no one dominated nor rode coattails in our alliance of three.

for a round or so in the middle of the game, i was also part of a fourway alliance with devon, sarah, and stacey. that overlapped with my hoh in round 6, when i nominated the only two people left in the game with whom i wasn't in an alliance (eric and velva....sorry eric, nothing personal!) and who were rumored to be a pair. breaking up eric/velva was key because one of them getting hoh could swing things against either of the alliances i was in at that point.

aside from those core alliances, i maintained friendships with most everyone in the game (though i wish i had gotten to know people like tye and charlie better). those with whom friendships didn't grow (travis and matty especially) became threats because i couldn't be sure where their allegiances stood, and i worked directly or indirectly to keep them off the jury. i was the hoh in round 3 who nominated both travis and matty, to get them to play the game and see where they really stood. i also believe my friendships kept me safe in round 2 when i was nominated...thank you for all who kept me in the game at that point.

i explain my social strategy for two reasons: (1) to show that i was actively involved in the game and in getting to know people. while i did betray people in the game, i see our frienships as true and i hope to continue those friendships outside of the game. hopefully you will see that friendships and the game, while intertwined, were distinct for me. i voted people out for strategic reasons, so that i could position myself in the best possible way. orgs for me aren't about making friends, but it's a great bonus that comes along with playing. (2) to acknowledge that, while i believe i played a strong game, there's no way i (or anyone) could claim to have reached the end on my own. i wouldn't be here in the final 2 if it weren't for you all and that's the core of a good social game like big brother.


competitions:

i was a strong challenge competitor in this game and used that as a strategy to protect myself & my allies and to get myself further in the game. i was only vulnerable to be voted out in three rounds (1, 2, and 4) and was not evicted the only time i was nominated (round 2). aside from those rounds:

- i was hoh in rounds 3, 6, and 10 and believe i made strong, strategic nominations.
- i found the hidden blue veto in round 1 (which i used in round 8), won the diamond veto in round 7, and won veto again in round 9.
- in round 5, there was no hoh, but my team was first in the challenge and, as its leader, i was safe and had the ability to break a tie if one arose.

also (and i hope she would admit to this), i was directly responsible for cealy winning blue veto in round 2 and hoh in round 4. i solved those challenges quickly and gave her the answers, both to secure a win and safety for our alliance and to avoid seeming like i was winning too many challenges early on. i also took 2nd place in the blue veto challenges in rounds 4 (bb mini) and 6 (musical chairs), though i will humbly admit being dominated by devon in those challenges.

my strength at challenges kept me safe and, alongside my social game, was crucial to how i got to the final 2.

as much as i adore velva, there's no comparison between our prowess in challenges; she won only one competition (hoh in round 8) and was strongly helped in that challenge by cealy. "but nate," you might say, "velva was vulnerable to be nominated at all times, except in rounds 5 and 8...shouldn't we reward her for escaping eviction so many times without hoh/veto to protect her?" my answer is simple: i hope you'll agree that being proactive and keeping yourself safe to avoid even the possibility of eviction is a much more secure strategy than relying on others to keep you safe, round after round. alliances can be strong, but this is bb secrecy we're talking about here...anything could happen.


my main point:

regardless of how you feel i played the game or how you feel about me as a person, i hope you can see that the main difference between me and velva is that i DID play the game. i played to win and made active moves to further myself in the game instead of floating to the top.

i was part of a central alliance, was strong in challenges, took risks (like voting out devon, thus risking my friendships with him, stacey, and sarah), and adapted to twists in order to better my position in the game. i always kept my mind on how best to end up in the final 2 and worked hard to make it to the end with someone i felt i had a good shot at beating. whether or not you liked my game, i hope you can respect it.

i would be honored to earn your final vote.

again, it's been an absolute blast to play this game with y'all and i look forward to addressing your comments/questions. see you on the other side!
 

VELVA

Hi Everyone!

I am so excited to be here in the finals! It has been so much fun playing in Joe's game and meeting so many interesting people. It has been a blast and I am sad to see it all coming to an end.

I am especially thankful for all the new friendships I have made in this game. To me that is an extra bonus and I hope we can continue our friendship outside the game. For those I didn't get to talk to as much I hope that we will have the opportunity to play in other games and will get to know one another better.

Throughout this game I have tried to be as honest as possible and loyal to those I've had an alliance with. I know this is not always viewed as the most popular way to play Big Brother but it is the way I am most comfortable with and has worked well for me in the past.

Thanks Joe for giving me the privilege to play in your game. And thank you to all the players I was able to work with and get to know.

I look forward to your questions and will try to answer them as honestly and completely as possible.

I am very pleased to be sitting next to Nate in the final 2 and wish him good luck.

With their opening statements out of the way it was time for the jury members to ask the final two some questions. They were up in order they were evicted meaning Tye was up first...

TYE

Congratulations on making Final 2, Nate and Velva. Before I begin my questions, I would like to say a little about the game.

This game had my head spinning the entire time. I had no idea what was going on, who was allied with who, and I still don't know who put me up and who voted me out. I was in the dark the whole time. I had pseudo-alliances with Devon and Cealy. I say pseudo because we never really said out loud we were gonna be allied, but I think it was implied. Obviously that didn't work out. So pretty much, I was a fish out of water. I don't feel I even deserve to be on the jury. I didn't play a great game. I hardly made the challenges and I never won anything.

I don't feel the need to be an asshole and tear you guys apart, but I do have some questions I would like you both to answer for me. I have a pretty good idea of who I want to vote for, but I will not cast until you guys answer, so you can definately change my mind.

QUESTIONS FOR NATE

thanks for your questions, tye. sorry you felt like a fish out of water...i'll do my best in answering your questions to fill you in on everything i knew about your position in the game.

Nate, Do you know who nominated me and why I was evicted? I just want to know what happened.

cealy was hoh in round 4 and was the person who nominated you and sarah. i'll admit that she consulted devon and i about her nominations but, in the end, she went with what she thought was best for her and her game. i don't know if there was an overwhelming reason why you were voted out or if it was just a person-by-person decision.

in my case, i voted you out because i felt less close to you. after the bb mini blue veto challenge in that round, sarah and i had a really great talk and opened up to each other a lot. at that point, i felt less inclined to vote her out.

the vote count for your eviction was 4-1 with 2 people not voting. part of devon's reward that round was revealing two votes. he chose to reveal my vote and eric's vote. we both voted to evict you. charlie had a big crush on you and was the vote to keep you, or so i later found out.

Who was your least favorite player in the game?

my least favorite player in the game was probably travis. not necessarily because of his personality, but because he took a spot that could have belonged to someone else and instead focused all his time on his own hosting gig. i suppose honorable mentions could go to matty and jenna for the same reason, but at least they each won a blue veto in round 1.

Who would win in a fight between Batman and Spiderman? Please be specific.

so, batman can fly and has all his sweet gadgetry, including the batmobile and throwing stars shaped like bats and all that jazz. spiderman has his web shooting ability, plus he's pretty flexible and light on his feet. all that taken into account, i'm going to have to give the edge to batman...sure spiderman could try and trap him in a web, but batman could cut his way out, fly high to where spiderman couldn't reach him and then cut up spiderman to pieces with his crazy arsenal of weapons. spiderman's suit is also not armored like batman's, so he loses there, too. batman wins.

Is there any reason I should vote for Velva to win? Be honest.

while i believe i played the better game and have been less than praiseful of how velva got to the f2, she had some positives. she positioned herself with a few key people and was able to get by without having to lie or backstab too much.

there are people who prefer more subtle players and if you're one of those people, you should vote for velva. that said, i still feel i played the better game and would be honored to have your vote if you agree.

QUESTIONS FOR VELVA

Thanks Tye for the congrats! I will do my best to answer your questions.

We hardly ever spoke in this game. I think we just weren't very compatible or something.

We did have one short chat in round 1. I don't know why we didn't connect better. I wish things could have worked out differently.

That said, can you give me a good reason to vote for you to win?

I think you should vote for me if you respect the way I played the game. I was able to make a few key alliances which I was very loyal to. I intentionally did not make a lot of alliances so I would not find myself committed to promises I would not be able to keep. Instead I tried to build relationships with the other players in the game and work with them on the vote and other game related things. I was able to play the game without making any enemies that I am aware of. I was very active and worked hard on the challenges even though I only won one and came within seconds of winning another.

Is there anyone else on the jury you think deserves to be in the Final 2?

I believe Cealy & Devon both would have been very deserving as final 2. Both were very social & active, made deals & alliances, and won their share of challenges.

What do you know about my nomination and subsequent eviction?

Cealy won the HoH in round 5 and nominated you & Sarah. She had heard the two of you applied to this game together and were friends. She wanted to break up any possible alliance the two of you might have.

CHARLIE

Ok look I'm sick I have been for a few days at the moment my nose is stuff my head hurts and I have a tooth ack.

I really didn't like you. but I want you to talk shit about Eric as well. include things in this game and not thing and the one that can out shit talk the other will get my vote.

LOVE ME
CHARLIE

oh one last thing I want a pic of the HOTTEST guy you can fine. as if you were "senting me up on a date" who would you set me up with AND HE better be hot cuz I dont do ugly. (and the only some what cute person besides me in this game was jeremy that includes the girls I lied.)

NATE'S ANSWER

as with all these jury questions, charlie, ask and ye shall receive:

you're the saddest excuse for a fag imaginable and you personify every horrible stereotype that self-respecting gay men work hard to avoid. you're abrasive, effeminate, bitchy, and unappealing. it's a shame you only hang out with hot people because that makes you, by far, the least attractive of all your friends.

you're a materialistic little bitch who whined to me for multiple days around christmas time when you didn't get the exact type of ipod you wanted or when your sister got a digital camera when you've been asking for one for three years...there are starving kids all around the world and all you're bitching about is how your parents didn't blow their money on some huge present that you clearly never deserved in the first place.

in my life as a gay man, i strive to be the opposite of everything you are and everything you represent.

i don't think you being outrageous in group chats was a strategy...instead, i think it was your terrible personality and extremely poor social skills shining through. everyone kept you in the game as long as they did because they knew you'd be an easy boot when you were finally nominated. you're not smart enough to be a villain nor suave enough to be a cunning strategist. people laughed at you, not with you.

your elf was the ugliest piece of shit i've ever seen and i assume you just gave blowjobs to all the judges to win hoh that week. no one with half a mind and a second grade art education would pick your shit-ass picture.

btw, i saw your porn and that shit was ridiculous (and not even any good). self respect, much? you're the type of person people wish got aids and died on some island far away from their kids.

and, honestly, you bowl? in a league? what kind of lame shit is that? if you're so proud of being a twinky fag, why don't you do something that's actually a sport and that'll give you muscle or useful skills. be a rower, a gymnast, shit anything. a bowler? that's for fat lesbians and guys with small dicks.

it's too bad your mom had her stroke a few months ago and not before you were born...that may have saved us all from you entirely.

good enough for you, charlie?

love
nate

ps - eric was absolutely right about his acne comment.

pps - here's your hot guy picture

and since i strongly doubt i'll get eric's vote either, why not:

oh, eric. why do you think people kept nominating you? two equally telling reasons: (1) no one really liked you (except for velva maybe) and knew the game would be leagues better without you fumbling through it, and (2) your only worth in this game was as a pawn. truth be told, i was elated when you were voted out the week i nominated you/velva...y'all had to be broken up and i'd much rather have had velva around than your useless ass. at least she has personality.

matty and jenna had more strategy and skill in their pinkie fingers than you have in the entirety of your being.

and fuck, you're ugly. you know when charlie kept calling you short and fat? YOU ARE. why don't you go eat the left side of the mcdonalds menu and choke on a mcnugget. when i saw the previews for the movie cloverfield, i assumed the large monster tearing up new york city was you looking for any buffet that would still let you in without charging you a per-plate fee.

you read fan fiction and buffy comics. i don't think i even have to say anything...that shit speaks for itself.

and btw, thinking you and i ever had a f2 alliance is the most hilarious thing i've ever heard...clearly wishful thinking on your behalf. did you learn how to play this game in the book, "orgs for stupidfuck asshats: volume 2"?

kisses
nate

ps - charlie was equally right about anything he ever said about you. he's a great judge of character...well, except of his own.

pps - it's spelled DEFINITELY. not definately. fucktard. you know, i did a search of all chat transcripts for the ENTIRE game and you're almost exclusively the only person who cannot spell that word.

VELVA'S ANSWER

You know Charlie I groaned when I saw this question. I've had a lot of questions that my first reaction is how am I going to answer this but I believe this will be the most difficult. There are several good things I can say about you and I wish it could be balanced out with both the good & the bad. But this is your question so I will abide by what you want.

You assumed there was an alliance between yourself and Nate & Devon. Of the two you believed you were closer to Nate. In your mind it was real but apparently that was not their intention. You didn't realize this until the Big Brother mini game.

You waited until you were about to be voted off to try to strike up some kind of deal with me. It might have worked better if this was done earlier in the game.

You can sometimes be mean to people and like to call them fat & ugly.

You really do not like Eric and have insulted him several times to his face and in group chats.

Sometimes it is hard to follow what you are trying to say.

You seem to have a lot of bad luck what with your computer being stolen and wrecking a couple of vehicles.

I believe you are still currently unemployed and it might be good to be working or in school if you are not already.

You did a porn movie.

He may have let your negative comments get to him.

He wasn't able to keep his promise to Sammi not to vote for her when he made a new alliance.

He didn't win any challenges.

ERIC

k yea questions'll be included I guess...

I'd like to first start out by saying thank you for not letting Cealy get to the final two because my decision is somewhat harder to make then it would have been if she were there. But lets get to the point because this isn't about her, it's about you two.

At this point, I really have no reason NOT to vote for Velva. Velva was honest with me. Velva was loyal to me. Velva basically... is not scum. I respect her and would love to see her win this game. Yep, I'm pretty bias right now but can you blame me? Thats rhetorical.

Nate, the only time you were honest with me was when I was on the block. So three times. You told me you would be there for me. I said the same thing and I meant it. Did you? No. Because the third time you were HOH you nominated me. I thought it was Devon. How ignorant right? Again, rhetorical. I was sure we had a final two alliance at that point so saying in your opening statement we didn't have one is bull. I never would have suspected it was you behind my eviction. I truly thought when you said you would "see what you could do to save me" that you had and I thought for sure I'd be safe because I had you on my side. But the decision had obviously already been made after I opened my big mouth about being hardcore to get Devon out.

Why should I vote for such a huge lier and backstabber? I don't care if it's part of the game. It's lame and I don't like you for it.

P.S.

I have no questions for Velva.

P.S. X 2

For anyone who cares. I did not win an HOH. EVER. (Cealy)

NATE'S ANSWER

i respect your view of the game and that's fine. it's not everyone's cup of tea and i expected you to vote for velva anyway, as y'all were close in the game.

were you more on the fence, i would hope to sway you with the idea that, yes, i did lie and backstab. more than most people, probably. the point is, though, that you and everyone else knew that coming into a game like this (and called secrecy for christ's sake!) that there'd be dishonest afoot. this isn't "big brother: best friends 4ever!" and while i appreciate the friendships i developed and that were real to me regardless of my backstabbing, my focus was always on the game.

my one credit to velva is that she learned from matty and jenna's games and realized that she could basically sit there, be nice to people, equivocate and she wouldn't be voted out. silly me to think that actual gamesplay would be more worth of a final vote than being nice and harmless.

velva was carried through the game and, frankly, i don't think she should be rewarded for that. i feel like i proved myself to be proactive, a challenge competitor, and at least good enough socially to get to where i am now. in retrospect, my social game could have been much better and i'll carry that lesson with me. i can't change the past, but i think i did an ok job in the game considering the skill sets i possess.

i am truly sorry that i hurt you and hope we can talk after the game. please vote for velva if you see fit but, even if you do, at least consider my gameplay before doing so. that's all i can ask.

VELVA'S ANSWER

Hey Eric! I know there are no questions for me to answer but I did want to tell you how much I appreciate all the nice things you said about me. And thank you so much for your vote.

It was great being in an alliance with you and knowing you were someone I could trust and depend on. But even better was all our Harry Potter talks. That was so much fun! I look forward to more of these chats after the game.

DEVON

Hey you two!

This is a long post, but if you want my vote, I suggest sucking it up and reading it.

So, I first want to say congratulations to the both of you! Making the final 2 in a game is a tough feat, and I first want to say that I do believe that both of you earned your spot in the final 2. And that makes me happy, because sometimes the final 2 ends up not seeming all that deserving. I’m not one to be bitter or jealous—but I’d be lying if I were to say I wasn’t jealous. I am a little bit jealous because I honestly do feel I just messed things up really really really badly the round I was evicted, and had I played that round in a more clean-cut fashion, I would have had a fairly decent shot at the final 2.

But enough about “If I had done this” or “If you had done that” or “If Jenna and Molly had been active and kicked everybody else’s butts”…you guys made it, and I want to specifically talk about YOU tonight!

But first (to quote Julie Chen) I want to make some things very clear. Though I have some idea of how I want to vote, I have not voted yet. My vote is prone to change. When it comes to the final 2, I hate suckups, I hate liars, I hate sweet-talkers. I like straight-shooters who are willing to admit the truth, even if it’s the kind of truth that makes the jury want to strangle the final 2 with their bare hands. So if you want my vote—and probably the votes of other jurors (I’m looking at you Charlie!)—you’ll want to be real when answering my questions. Nate, I know you’re not used to the concept of integrity, but just try to have some when answering these questions.

I have individual questions for both of you. Please answer them in response to this thread. Also, if in your opinion I seem to have gotten anything factual wrong, feel free to call me out on it--but I suggest you do so with evidence, because I'm likely to respond to anything you call me out on. Keep in mind when answering this stuff that I'm a tricksy one, so you'll want to be attentive to all I'm saying.

Anyways, here we go...I have bolded all the things I feel you need to respond to. So pay attention to what's bolded.


STATEMENT AND QUESTIONS FOR VELVA:

Velva, first I want to say that I'm really glad you made the final 2! You were one of my favorite people in the game just as a person. Unfortunately for you, I'm not basing my vote on my perceptions of people as people. I'm basing my vote on my perception of people as players. I think I have a sense of how you played the game, but I don’t know what your perception of how you played the game is.

So let’s play a game: I have a list of 7 adverbs here. 3 of them are words that I feel describe how you played the game. I want you to first pick 3 words that you feel correctly describe how you played the game, and then I want you to also pick the 3 words that you think I chose. Afterwards, we’ll compare!

Here are the words: honorably, cowardly, socially, foolishly, manipulatively, quietly, intelligently

The three adverbs I have chosen for myself are:

Honorably: I played the game with honesty & integrity.
Socially: I tried to talk to everyone in the game not just about gameplay but about personal things as well. Some people were easier to talk to than others.
Quietly: By nature I am a rather shy & quiet person. In games I do better one on one with people and rarely am I in the spotlight.

The three adverbs you may have chosen for me are:

Honorably: I believe you would have found me honest with you throughout the entire game even when you were about to be voted out.
Cowardly: I really hope this is not the way you feel but you may think of my gameplay as too much under the radar and look at me as a floater.
Foolishly: I'm going with another negative adverb but I also hope I am wrong in this. You may think I should have taken bigger risks in the game such as aligning with you & Stacey rather than voting you out.

Now, on to the actual questions…sorry for there being so many!

1. I know we had a long talk about this right before I was evicted, but I’m unconvinced that you told me the full story. So I want you to tell me the straight-up, honest truth: why did you vote to evict me?

I voted to evict you for several reasons. One was that at the time I didn't completely trust you. In the previous round you had won the Blue Veto with the special reward of giving names of 3 nominees to the HoH. I now knew the HoH to be Nate. I believed you & Nate worked together on these nominations with Eric & I both finding ourselves on the block.

In round 7 I heard you & perhaps Sarah were hoping to win the Diamond Power of Veto and backdoor me. Apparently you changed your mind on this and decided to have a night out rather than participate in the challenge. So with being a possible target these last 2 rounds it put me on my guard with you.

If I was mistaken in either of these assumptions or was misled then I would really like to hear your side of things.

Cealy & Nate wanted to turn things around. Instead of the easier vote between Sarah & Stacey they wanted to backdoor you if one of us should win the Diamond Power of Veto. In return we had a final 3 agreement. I agreed to this as I was already having doubts about you.

When it came to the actual vote I almost backed out of it. You bought up several good points as to why I should keep you in the game. I was very tempted to the point I almost changed my vote. There were several reasons I didn't go through with it.

One was I didn't want to betray my original alliance with Cealy. But there were other reasons as well. Sarah was completely devoted to you winning the game. I knew if the 2 of us found ourselves in final 2 that was a for sure jury vote for you. The other was your friendship with Stacey. I feared the 2 of you might stick together for the next few rounds of the game. I could see the 2 of you making final 2 or at least another jury vote for the win.

In the end I felt I had a better chance sticking with my final 3 agreement with Cealy & Nate.

2. On a similar note, why did you decide to stick with Nate after I told you that he had been HOH in Round 6 and had nominated you and Eric? Did you just not believe me when I said that, or what? This question is really crucial, so try to answer it thoroughly.

At this point in the game there wasn't too many people in the game I did trust. Nate was one of those I didn't trust. I was uncertain with you as well. I really didn't have many options opened to me. My alliance with Eric had been discovered &targeted so I could no longer turn to him. Sarah and I had rarely if ever talked strategy. Although I really liked Stacey she didn't really seem to be into the game. That only left Cealy my original alliance. Although I had doubts about Cealy as well we discussed it and were able to talk things out & put some things behind us. Along with Cealy came the final 3 deal with Nate. I decided to continue to trust Cealy which included Nate as well.

3. You and I talked a lot in the game, and in fact I sometimes felt I knew more about your personal life than I did the personal lives’ of those who I was allied with, namely Cealy and Nate…so in your opinion, why do you think we never formed an alliance at any point in the game? What was holding us back?

I think we worked well together without actually having to commit ourselves to an alliance. We talked about the game and our fears. I think we trusted one another enough that we didn't have to make false promises we might not be able to keep further down the road. I think you knew I would not vote you out with or without an alliance. I had no intentions of voting for you until I found out you had targetted me.

I'm not sure if I am explaining this very well but at the time I feel like we had enough trust & respect for one another that the word "alliance" was not necessary.

4. Please take a moment to explain to me in detail what happened in the game during the final 4.

Cealy, Nate, & I had a final 3 agreement so it was important that Stacey not win this challenge and cause one of us to be voted out.

The veto challenge was one I was actually prepared for. I had spent time organizing my notes to show the order of events that happened in the game. The challenge itself was to put in order those players who were evicted from the game. I was just seconds behind Nate in winning this challenge.

I know this is probably not exactly what you are looking for but I think people in this game have the idea I wasn't playing hard because I only won one challenge. But I wanted to take this opportunity to show I was actually trying to win these challenges even though someone always beat me to it.

Anyway Nate won veto. We did not have HoH this round so the vote was now between Cealy, Stacey, & myself. There was no way I was going to vote Cealy so that only left Stacey. There were no hard feelings from Stacey about this vote as she appeared ready to leave the game.

Cealy & I voted Stacey. Stacey voted for Cealy. At first because of a misunderstanding about the vote Nate did not vote but eventually voted for Stacey as well.

5. Before I was evicted, I told you that if you made the final 2, I would definitely vote for you unless it was against Sarah. Did you believe me when I said that? Why or Why not?

I would really like to believe this was true and not just a way to talk me into changing my vote. I know we worked very well together in this game and I think we each respected one another as a person and as a player even though we played entirely different ways. So yes I believe you were telling the truth and would vote for me in the final 2.


STATEMENT AND QUESTIONS FOR NATE:

Nate, I actually don’t want to say that much to you, but I still have a lot I feel I need to say to you and none of it is nice. So if you want my vote, you’re going to have to deal with the fact that I don’t like you as a PLAYER—that is, I don’t think you played a good game. And you’re going to have to deal with me saying that to you repeatedly for an entire essay. Brace yourself.


First of all, I think you were the most obviously fake person in the game, which is a pretty hard feat to do considering Cealy is probably a man. From Day 1, you were IMing me with the greeting “Hey Buddy!” when I barely even knew you. That made me almost want to vote you out, not just because it was annoying but also because it told me right off the bat that you were probably IMing everyone and going “Hey Buddy!” with a cute little smiley face attached.

Which leads me to my major point in all of this…although you obviously played this game right since you’re in the final 2, I think you played a pretty sloppy social game. Your strategic game didn’t seem to be a whole lot better—in fact, most of what you did from the final 8 on seemed completely retarded and illogical.

Now you’re probably thinking I sound crazy, so let me give you an example.

In round 6, we were allied. Then you won HOH, and for some reason decided not to tell me…when, hello, it only takes a fifth grader’s critical thinking skills to add up the way people voted in the challenge and see that you had received at least 5 golden keys and no black ones! Then after you tried to keep your HOH a secret from me and I caught you red-handed in your lies, you decide to take a leap of faith and reveal to me that you were the HOH in round 3, but also tell me that you hadn’t trusted me enough to tell me so.

Nate, do you have any sort of rational common sense?

How did you expect me to react to something like that—did you honestly think you would be able to hide your Round 6 HOH from me? And did you actually expect me to trust you even more by “revealing” that you hadn’t trusted me enough in previous rounds to tell me you were HOH in Round 3? It’s almost as though you WANTED to ruin our alliance, make me not trust you, drive me away, and make the game ten times more complicated for yourself…and that is what ended up happening, because up until that very moment, I was 100% set on going to the final 2 with you. In that alliance with Sarah, Stacey, me, and you, you were NEVER the fourth wheel in my mind until this incident occurred.


By the way, those were all rhetorical questions. Don’t bother answering them unless you feel like pissing me off and totally losing my vote.


So, for that incident and much more, I will say bluntly that going into this final 2, I think you actually did sleep your way into being admitted to graduate school at Stanford as you claimed in one of our first conversations, simply because I can’t imagine there being any brain cells functioning in your head. I don’t have much respect for you, and right now, I’m inclined to vote for Velva, NOT because you betrayed me—that was probably the one smart thing you did in this game from Round 6 on, even though I would have considered trying to repair our shattered alliance had I stayed—but because you seem like an idiot.

This leads me to my questions.

1. In regards to the incident I described above…WERE you attempting to sever our alliance? What was your reasoning for not telling me that you were HOH in Round 6, and why did you then proceed to reveal to me that you were HOH in Round 3? Why didn’t you keep your Round 3 HOH a secret to be revealed at the final 2, allowing yourself to be perceived as an even greater manipulator than before?

you want fucking honesty, so i'm going to give it to you. NO, i was not trying to sever our alliance. you want to know the pansiest thing about me in this entire game, everyone? i was terrified of the damn 75% rule. honestly. it sounds lame, but it's true. that was the one loophole in this game that could get someone out and, though i trusted you and cealy most in the game, dev, i trusted no one enough to tell them i was hoh. from my thinking, if i told you i was hoh, you or cealy could come up with a plan to get me nommed by the 75% rule and then i'm fucked. my strategy, as paranoid as it may have been, was to keep myself out of the nomination chairs at all costs.

did i miscalculate by not telling you and cealy about my hoh, especially in round 6? yes. it had become so routine for everyone to deny hoh wins that right after i won in round 6, i stayed the party line and denied being hoh. it's only when you confronted me and pointed out the basic math of the challenge and that it had to have been me that won that i owned up to being round 6 hoh.

let me state this clearly for you and the jury to read: common sense and quick thinking have never been strong suits. i've had to get by on other assets and i did the best i could with what i had....i think that kind of adaptation is better than riding coattails to the end. did i fuck up in the game? absolutely. but i worked my hardest to make up for those mistakes, learn, and carry on.

the only reason that i went on to tell you that i was hoh in round 3 was because you told me that you were hoh in round 1 earlier in that conversation. as a way to attempt to earn back trust, it seemed to me like we were playing you show me yours, i'll show you mine. call me naive, fuck, i don't know. at that point in the game, voting you out NEVER crossed my mind. that only came later when i found out you told cealy about my hohs and other stuff that only could have come from you...that was the turning point for me in the game, when the midgame turned into endgame. i realized you had no problem scheming on the side and that you'd be tough to beat in f2, so i said, "fuck it, let's play".

2. Do you honestly think you played this game with strategic and social smarts? If so, how, because I really don’t see it…

my confusion is this: if you have such little faith in any game skills i might have, why form an alliance with me? in terms of strategic/social game, i honestly do think i did play with smarts. i answered this at length in my opening statements thread, so i guess i'll point you there so i don't just retype it all. i feel i had a strong game, though blunder-full as any game may be. i'm not as socially cooth as many players in the game, but i was cooth enough to get as far as i did. that's all i know to say.

3. On a totally different note, I want you to tell to me at what specific moment you decided you were going to have to end our alliance and betray me at some point later on in the game…that is assuming our alliance was ever real in your mind in the first place. Were you planning to backstab me prior to the final 7? Please give details, because this question is crucial in determining my vote, moreso than the other ones.

my alliance with you and cealy was real and true...in all honesty, it absolutely saved my ass early in the game. if it weren't for you two and your connections, i would most likely have been gone week 2. like i said above and in my opening statements, the thought to even vote you out was quick and immediate, the same round as the diamond veto. no other round before. i had no motive to do so. none. i don't know how to communicate to you that me not telling you about my round 6 hoh in no way implied i wanted to get rid of you. you can think that i'm sucking up to you, i don't care. i'm telling you the truth. if you don't buy it, vote for velva to win.

the thing is, you yourself admitted to me the round of the diamond veto where you got voted out that you were planning to do the exact same to me - win diamond and put me up to boot me - and had even conspired with stacey to do so. to your credit, though, you backed out of that plan. your integrity and my apparent lack of it has us each in our respective places. was i proud to vote you out? no. did i feel at the time i had to do it? yes. i may go to stanford, but i'm a scientist...we aren't always known for our social skills. i did the best i could given the situation and what i perceived of it...we all made mistakes and velva and i are the only ones under the magnifying glass because we made it to f2. it's your jobs to roast us, and i accept that, but we're not the only ones who played the game imperfectly.

Now, my fourth question for you demands some context, but it’s all in regards to the final 4, and it also relates to you seeming like a strategic idiot.

At the final 4, there’s you, there’s Velva, there’s Cealy, and there’s Stacey. Stacey is a wildcard who has only won one challenge that was determined by luck, and she also has nobody in the game right now. Velva is seemingly on your side. You also have an alliance with Cealy, but you SHOULD have known by that point in the game that she was as shady as hell and definitely allied with Velva.

You win blue veto. You’re safe. In theory, you can do whatever the heck you want—you won’t be going to the jury this round. This sounds like the PERFECT chance to take out Cealy. Doing so would leave you in the final 3 with two weak players who could never win a challenge on their own if their life depended on it, in theory.

But what do you do? You decide to vote out Stacey with help from Velva and Cealy. Why? I have absolutely no idea…

…or wait, just kidding, I have two possible ideas!

The first idea is that you’re retarded and an idiot, either because you felt like making the game more complicated for yourself OR because you (falsely) believed Cealy would take you to the final 2 if she won the final HOH. Either way, you’re an idiot, because Cealy probably wouldn’t have taken you to the final 2, and even if you were, you were planning to betray her anyways.

The second idea is the one I’m inclined to believe, simply because you can’t possibly be so dumb as to actually trust Cealy. This idea is that Velva wanted to vote out Stacey and refused to vote out Cealy. And for some reason, you didn’t feel like making a tie out of the matter and just letting it all be determined at random! This would suggest that you didn’t have power over Velva like you might want to imply, but rather, that somehow Velva had the strategic upper-hand and was able to get you to do what she wanted…

So this is my fourth question. Enlighten me.

4. What was your reason for voting Stacey out at the final 4—or more specifically, “Are you fucking retarded or just Velva’s bitch?”

i admit that one of my major mistakes of the game was misunderstanding how voting worked at f4. i had a brainfart and, after winning blueveto, misread joe's instructions and thought only the three others voted and that i only voted in a tie. when joe asked for my vote, i realized the actuality of the situation but was being asked for my vote immediately. like i said above, quick thinking isn't my forte and i felt i didn't have enough time to think out the vote and whether or not it was smart to betray cealy at f4 instead of f3. my gut instinct was to keep cealy, so i voted with velva/cealy to get rid of stacey.

let me be clear about one thing: i ABSOLUTELY knew that cealy would NOT take me to f2 if she won the last hoh. i'm not stupid. she's a smart player and knew she'd wipe the floor with velva in a f2 vote. i knew if i won, i'd take velva. i knew if velva won, she might take cealy, but there was a fair chance she'd take me because she knows i'm more hated by the jury (hi stacey and sarah).

if i'd voted cealy out at f4, my chances are identical at f3 as they were in the previous scenario: i could win f3 hoh, or velva wins f3 hoh and definitely takes stacey (who she has a better shot at beating) or stacey wins f3 hoh and might take either of us to f2. in either scenario, if i don't win, i have one person who might take me and the other who definitely won't. i figured it's better to vote out cealy at f3 when it's viewed as less aggregious than doing so at f4. i'd already acted with enough aggregiousness (reference round 7).

in no way was i velva's bitch. in fact, she didn't have much say in anything. she never made strong decisions, never led, and rode cealy all the way to the end. you forget that she was the deciding vote to boot you...there was no way i could keep you after putting you up after i won the diamond veto...it would have made me look like a mixed up fool.

And two more questions for you, just so you're even with Velva...

5. Looking back on the game, in hindsight, when do you think you should have started not trusting me, if ever? There is a very specific answer that should be obvious if you know me in any way at all...

well, i'm not sure exactly what you're getting at, but if i had to guess, i'd say i either should have never started trusting you in the first place or i should have stopped trusting you the day we had the conversation about me being round 6 hoh.

6. Rank all of the jury and the final 2 in terms of your perception of their/your intelligence. Be sure to rank yourself too!
That last question is more for my curiousity than for any particular reason, but it will likely influence my vote too. If you want my vote, it's probably best to just be honest...

want the jury to strangle me with both hands, you say? want honesty? here goes nothing. here's my rank order of f9, in order of my perception of their intelligence, with first name being most intelligent. sorry to offend anyone, just answering the man's question.

tye
nate
cealy
devon
eric
sarah
charlie
velva
stacey


dev, look. i did my best in the game and worked with what i had. was i perfect? did i play a flawless game? no. the fact is, though, is that i played and played to get to the end. i didn't hit it out of the park, but i got around the bases and here i am, approaching home plate. i'm sorry my actions soured our friendship and i do hope we can be friends on the other side. if not, i completely respect that and i'd probably feel the same way if the roles were reversed.

vote however you want, dev, and i'll respect it. if you think any of my answers were bullshit, please call me on them. i've answered as best i can and that's all i can do.

7. Do you really, honestly feel that you were loyal to Cealy for the entire duration of the game?
And on that note, I’m done. Good luck to both of you, and may the most deserving person win!

it may hurt you to hear this and probably further my persona as some lying backstabber, but i was always loyal to cealy. i joined with you/stacey/sarah only because you all came to me and offered it to me, plain and simple. how stupid would i have been to turn down that kind of alliance, especially with people like stacey/sarah with whom i wasn't as close with at that point? sure, we talked about getting out cealy but i remember talking about getting out everyone not in that alliance; al that talk was just talk...it was me going along with what y'all were obsessing about. did i actually want cealy out? no. if i had, i would have put her up when i was hoh in the round i nommed eric/velva. me saying "oh yeah, cealy!" or "oh yeah, someone else!" was just to get in good with you all so that i could make use of the alliance for as long as it would last me.

we all, at one point or another, thought about voting everyone else out, regardless of how intensely we held the thoughts. you thought of getting me out briefly, for example, but you didn't. nevertheless, you had the thought. that's the nature of this kind of game, and for anyone to judge me for postulating about getting rid of anyone is hypocritical...we all did it. i was just more proactive about it to secure my place in the game.

and as far as not trusting cealy, i trusted her the most of anyone and - even then - didn't trust her 100%. how can you trust someone completely in a game where the whole point is for each person to be the last one standing? i trusted people to different degrees. i trusted cealy the most, then you until you sold me out. we were both paranoid that round, i wish things could have worked out differently, but i can't change the past and here i am, atoning for my sins. it's easy for velva not to have to atone for many sins when she didn't even do much in the first place.

SARAH

Hello Nate and Velva. Congratulations on making the final two. It's no easy feat, but this next round I am positive will be the hardest round of them all. Good luck

First of all THANK YOU for getting Cealy out of the game. I think I literally screamed and jumped up and down for joy when I found out she wasn't in the final 2. Lame? Uhhh, I know, but that's me. This isn't an easy decision for me however.

I'd like to address Nate first.

Nate, I had been saying in my confessionals and to you for weeks about how you and Devon were my #1 and 2 in this game in friendship and trust. Obviously, I was never that high on either yours or Devon's list of allies, which hurts me.

You were someone I genuinely enjoyed talking to and I felt that we could be great friends. Every conversation we had was cool, non forced, comfortable and I think we definitely connected. Key phrase: I think. Everything I'm getting from your previous answers has proved otherwise.

So Nathan, for some questions to answer and ponder about, I'd really expect your full honesty with these, no more BS answers okay??

QUESTIONS FOR NATE

1. I'd like you to explain our entire relationship to you for the entire course I was in this game, from your perspective please. Why didn't you trust me as much as the fake Cealy? Did I do something wrong? Were you even the least bit threatened by me? How close did you ever feel to me? Also, please mention any time you have ever lied to me in this game.

here are my notes on you from round 1: SARAH: From Arizona. Junior at Arizona State. Studying English with a concentration in creative writing and wants to write a novel one day. Has a brother named Nate (Nathan).

up until the bb mini blue veto in round 4, i felt that our conversations were fun and casual, but too sporadic and not as deep as the conversations i was having with people like cealy, devon, eric, or charlie. in these games, i tend to see the quieter people (of which i counted you as one) as threats to me because i don't know where they stand. they could be with me, but i tend to assume the worst and make my next move based on that. i felt that, while we'd had great conversations, they never got to the level where i felt i could trust you if i were in serious danger, especially late in the game. people like "fake cealy" i trusted more because they'd always been true to me and our conversations had been deep and multi-faceted. i had a good idea of where they stood. you didn't do anything wrong - our friendship just hadn't clicked at that point.

after i voted you out of the bb mini veto game in round 4, we actually had a really great talk and opened up a lot to each other...that's when my opinion of you changed and that's actually what caused me to vote to evict tye that round. i saw you as a much more likeable and trustworthy person then.

when the alliance of you/stacey/dev/me came around, i was happy to have been asked to be a part of it, but nervous that i was the fourth wheel. i knew dev was close to both you and stacey, and i knew of his alliance with me/cealy, so i saw that he was double dipping and setting himself up to be the center of two perfect alliances. i believed at that point, whether it was true or not, that if it came down to a f4 of the four of us, i'd be the first out. i was very cautious about that fourway alliance, but still trusted you and felt close to you.

my opinion of you changed again the round dev was voted out. i won diamond veto, took stacey down and put devon up. while i knew you would be mad that i'd betrayed the fourway alliance, i never in a million years you'd threaten to quit the game and beg to be voted out in place of devon. i saw you give up because you had no more allies left in the game - or so you said - and that struck me in two ways: first, seeing you give up made me lose much respect for you as a player of the game; second, you saying you had no one left hurt, since you thought that me voting out devon automatically implied that i was cutting my ties to you and stacey as well...that was not the case at all. you assumed i wanted to target you next, but that wasn't on my mind.

f you want absolute honesty and no bs, here's the kicker: i was worried that round that if you or stacey quit, there wouldn't be an eviction and dev would get to stick around to pulverize me. joe told me that if stacey had quit, the eviction would have continued b/c both noms were still in the game, but if you quit, there would not have been an eviction and devon would have stayed. you wouldn't have been allowed on the jury, but devon would have stayed and killed me.

the round you were voted out, you and stacey were the only options since velva was hoh and cealy and i each had blue vetoes. we decided to vote you out because you were the bigger challenge threat of the two of you and you'd almost beaten stacey at the round 8 blue veto competition. my view of you was still sour from the round before where you all but gave up.

so, that's my view on our relationship. as any friendship, it changed over time. i do really like you as a person, especially after our talk in round 4, but my respect for you as a player dropped to zero when you begged for over an hour to quit the game when devon was nominated. as a friend, i felt close to you, and maybe that's why your meltdown that round was so painful to me. and that's not fucking bs.

as has been pointed out previously, i seemed to have lied a fair amount in the game. i had no reason to lie to you personally before the final 6 and don't believe i did, though please correct me if i'm wrong. i did lie in rounds 3 and 6 when i said i wasn't hoh when i was, but i even lied to my closest allies - cealy and devon - about that.

at the final 6, when i decided to use the diamond veto on devon, i'll admit i lied to you, dev, and stacey that entire round, saying we were going to put up cealy and on how she'd learn her lesson! i had to lie in order to prevent devon from going through with his simliar plan to backdoor me.

the next round, when you were voted out, i was probably not so concrete as to which of you/stacey i was voting out, but at that point i think you both wanted out anyway. when we talked about me being "the only person you had left" after dev was nommed, i initially thought about working with you until the f2, but then cealy told about a conversation she'd had with you that was strikingly simliar. i realized you were playing the "woe is me" card to at least me and cealy, maybe velva too, and saw you as a threat if you wormed your way in enough.

2. How would you say you kept true to your morals throughout this entire game? Do you even have any?? Any respect at all for yourself and your fellow players?

first off, i never claimed to have morals when i entered this game. i never took an oath swearing integrity or anything. i'm certainly not wearing a scouts uniform. to judge me on morals or integrity or standards you assume i enter the game with is unfair. you have to judge me where i'm at, not what you assume of me. in real life, i have strong morals, but part of playing orgs for me is the escape and the creation of personas based on, but not exactly equal to, myself.

i do respect myself and my fellow players but i know at the end of the day that it's a game and that's what we all signed up for, or at least i thought. i later found out that people like stacey were more in it for the friendships, but that's not why i play orgs.

3. To be frank, I think you'd have had a better chance at beating Cealy in the F2. Cealy is definitely not loved at all and I know this and I think most people would have voted for you over her. So why did you evict her instead of Velva? Did you not think that the jury might have respected and liked Velva more than you? Did you really think the jury was all so in love with Cealy that she'd win??

not having any clue how the evicted jury members felt about cealy, i had to assume they liked her way more than they liked me. she was social and seemed to get along with everyone. i thought that if i took her to f2, we'd have played similar games so we'd be compared directly against each other - she would have wiped the floor with me, or so i believed at f3. i didn't think the jury was in love with cealy, but she and i both lied, backstabbed, etc., so we were equal on those fronts. i figured her social game would win out over mine, even if i did do better in the challenges.

i saw velva as a player who rode coattails and didn't play as strong a game and i thought i'd have a better shot against a player like that in the f2. i hope i was right.

4. Please explain why Velva should get my vote. My vote

velva should get your vote because she played the game you hoped to play and did much less lying and backstabbing than i did. you seem to respect her approach to the game more and should vote along those lines.

5. Please explain why you should get my vote. Not why you should win, but why you deserve my vote.

i should get your vote because i played a strong game and honestly did value your friendship. i was strong in challenges, strong enough in the social game to get to where i am, and was a proactive player. velva went along with the plan to vote out devon, but did nothing else substantial in the game.

i should get your vote because you want to see someone strong win. you don't want your season of big brother to be remembered like survivor guatemala was remembered when, at the finale, everyone was like "danni won? really? who the hell is she? what did she even do?"

and, frankly, because i was the one to vote out cealy, which you seemed to be quite happy about.
 

QUESTIONS FOR VELVA

Now on to Velva

Velva, I know we didn't talk very much throughout this entire game. I don't think we ever really connected or felt comfortable with each other, to be honest, but that doesn't mean I'll automatically vote for you to win, or not vote for you to win.

So where do I start? You were a silent player. But I am not one to think that silent means you suck. Others might, but that's not my opinion. I like people who can stick it out under the radar and do behind the scenes work, which is the impression that I am getting based on what you and Nate have been saying. This is how I wanted to play this game, but I failed at this strategy.

But you have to be a little careful by how much under the radar you choose to play. Some people could say you did nothing in this game but ride the coattails of Nate and Cealy and that you commanded their every wish. I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and I pray that your voice was heard during this game. If not, then I don't see a reason at all to vote for you.

So for my questions

1. I know all about the Devon thing, so I don't need to hear about that again. Were there any big moves in the game you made at all. Did you ever tell your leaders Cealy and Nate who you wanted out and did they ever listen to you? Or was it always "Velva, do this. Velva, do that"?

Before coming into this game I did a little research into Joe's other games. This gave me an idea of the kind of challenges to expect and what possible twists there might be out there. This actually helped me several times as I understood at the onset of a challenge what was expected of me.

When I came into this game I wanted to make a few key alliances but not too many. The alliances I would make I intended to stay true to and hoped it would last throughout the entire game. Cealy, Eric, & I had an alliance that lasted basically the whole game for Cealy & I and until round 6 with Eric until he was voted out. I was very careful not to make any other alliances until the final 3 alliance I made with Cealy & Nate at round 7.

Instead of making an abundance of alliances I tried to develop relationships with the other players in the game. We discussed various aspects of the game and who we felt should be voted out of the game. There were no promises or alliances made that could be broken later in the game. I was able to work with different players without that commitment. But the relationships I established wasn't all game related. I also wanted to get to know the person I was talking to.

I won one challenge and came close to winning the last Blue Veto. I would like to say I won more but it wasn't from lack of trying. I did my best on all of them but this game had some really strong competitors and they were just so much faster.

I worked hard on my confessionals. This helped me to sort my thoughts out on the different things happening in the game. It was also a great way to go back & review what I was thinking at the time particularly when answering jury questions. I kept a record of how all of the events fell into place which was a great help in the challenge I almost won and again in answering these questions.

I hope this gives some understanding as to how I played the game. I played hard without it really appearing so. I was able to stay loyal to my alliances and develop relationships with others without making promises I could not keep. It is hard to pinpoint one big move I made. I think my big move is how I played the game overall from start to finish.

Did you ever tell your leaders Cealy and Nate who you wanted out and did they ever listen to you? Or was it always "Velva, do this. Velva, do that"?

Nate and I did not have an alliance until round 7 when we agreed to a final 3. Before that it was mostly general chit chat with some game talk.

I never saw Cealy as my "leader". We discussed the game together, our fears, and who we wanted to vote out. Most of the time we agreed with one another as to who we wanted voted out. One of these exceptions was the first vote when Cealy wanted to keep Molly and I wanted Eric to stay in the game. Cealy voted Molly.

In round 2 the vote was between Nate & Sammi. This time Eric wanted to vote for Nate to fulfill the promise he made to Sammi. Cealy & I wanted to vote for Sammi because we feared a possible alliance between her & Travis. In the end he voted for Sammi. I bought up Eric here because he was part of our alliance.

In round 3 there was an inactive and semi-active person on the block. Most of the players wanted Travis voted out rather than inactive Matty as we saw Travis as a potential strong threat. I don't think Cealy or I influenced one another's vote in any way that round. Most of the players were in a common agreement and willing to give Matty a chance to become active.

In round 4 Cealy put you and Tye on the block. Although Cealy & I had an alliance earlier in the game she did not confide in me she had won HoH or who I would have wanted nominated. It was several rounds later before I found this out. I must have been her # 2 alliance at that time and she was more with Devon & Nate. Again most of the players wanted Tye voted out or else could have gone either way so there were no conflicts.

In round 5 the vote was between Cealy, Eric, & Charlie. As I had an alliance with both Cealy & Eric the decision was already made for me to vote out Charlie.

In round 6 the vote was between Eric & myself so obviously I had no vote and Cealy voted for Eric rather than me.

Round 7 was when I agreed to a final 3 with Cealy & Nate in return I voted for Devon when he was backdoored. As you said earlier this has already been covered.

In round 8 the vote was between you & Stacey. I got the impression Cealy was more inclined to vote out Stacey rather than you. But I pushed for you to be voted out because I felt you had the better chance of pulling off a win in the next challenge. You were voted off.

By round 9 Stacey was the only one left to vote for who was not in our alliance.

What I hope I have shown is that Cealy & I discussed the votes but we did not obligate either one of us to vote a certain way. In fact in a couple of rounds it was the person I wanted to get voted out who was evicted rather than the one Cealy wanted.

I hope I have also shown that I not only talked to Cealy about the vote but to other players in the game. I may or may not have influenced anyone's vote. No one told me how to vote and then I blindly followed. I voted the way I felt was best for that particular round.

2. Any other close allies than Cealy and Nate? Please explain your relationship with every single jury member and why you think the relationships you have with them would benefit you in this vote.

Tye: Tye was voted out before I really had a chance to get to know him. We had one short chat which I initiated. But for some reason we didn't really seem to connect. I don't really think this one chat will influence Tye to vote my way. I think my one hope here is how I played the game and if he agrees with my way of playing.

Charlie: Charlie and I talked quiet a bit about the game as well as other things outside the game. But we did not have an alliance with one another. I think he would have liked to make a deal of sorts with me when he was being voted out but I really couldn't even consider it since Cealy & Eric were my only other option to vote out. I think Charlie would understand this and does not have any hard feelings that would affect his voting for me now.

Eric: Eric and I along with Cealy had an alliance since the beginning of the game. We worked very good together in the game and trusted one another. We remained loyal one to the other. Eric has already said in his post that he is voting for me because of the loyalty I showed him.

Devon: Devon and I have talked several times since the beginning of the game. Many of our discussions were game related whereas we also talked about things outside the game. Even though we would discuss the upcoming vote and other game related things we did not form an alliance. I believe that for the biggest part of the game we trusted one another without having to make promises or alliances. I believe we had a good relationship in this game that will help me in this vote. Devon told me he would vote for me if I reached final 2 and was not up against you.

Sarah: You mentioned earlier that we did not talk very much in this game. I'm not sure why we didn't feel more comfortable with one another. I wish it had been otherwise. We did not form an alliance although I think you would have liked to have worked together after round 7 to vote out Cealy & Nate. I don't think the relationship or lack of it will influence your vote. I think you will be basing your vote as to whose gameplay you agreed the most with.

Stacey: I tried to build a relationship with Stacey and get to know her better. I felt we were sort of alike in that we were both rather quiet. Stacey and I did not form an alliance and rarely if ever had much game talk. It was more friendly chit chat. I think trying to form a relationship with Stacey might benefit me in the vote because I did it without expecting anything in return.

Cealy: I think everyone knows by now Cealy and I have had an alliance the majority of the game. We worked very well together and discussed things in the game without one having dominance over the other. I was very loyal to Cealy in spite of some doubts I may have had. I hope this loyalty and our relationship in the game will have a positive effect on her vote.

3. Thank you for almost voting to evict me over Devon, I think had you done that, then Devon would have come back and slaughtered Cealy and Nate. So did you just want Nate and Cealy to be successful? Why didn't you keep Devon in, thus ruining their plan?? Didn't you think that evicting me over Devon could have actually helped you even more? (though that question is kind of a moot point, since you're in the final 2)

I felt I had a better chance with Cealy & Nate as we had an actual final 3 agreement. The plan was to first vote out Devon and then you & Stacey. I had no guaranteed of a final 2 other than winning the challenge. I was hoping for a non-live challenge I might possibly have a chance of winning. At that time I didn't really think either of them would take me to final 2 as I suspected they had a final 2 agreement among themselves.

There were too many uncertainties in keeping Devon in the game. I knew he and Stacey were friends so I figured they would stick together and possibly even make it to final 2 together. If by chance Devon & I were in final 2 together I felt he already had 2 sure jury votes for him to win. One being yours because you showed such loyalty to him in your willingness to be voted off in his place. The other was Stacey since he said they were friends. There would have also been a strong possibility that I would have lost Cealy's & Nate's possible votes since in order for all of this to happen means I went back on my word & betrayed them.

4. Was your plan going in to this game to be an under the radar player? Or did this just happen??

The way I played this game is actually the way I am in real life. I don't set out to be under the radar. I am by nature a rather quiet and shy person and I guess that just comes out in these games. Even though I may be seen as UTR I still play the game hard and I am very active. It is just not as obvious with so many other dynamic personalities in the game.

5. Why should I vote for Nate over you?

You should vote for Nate if you respect his way of playing the game. He made a lot of deals & alliances and those big moves people seem to want from a game.

6. Why should I vote for you for the win??

I think you should vote for me if you respect my way of playing the game. I was able to play an honest game with a few key alliances who I remained very loyal to. I did not make any enemies that I know of. I played hard and was very active but in a quieter sort of way.

Thank you in advance for reading and I suspect answering these questions honestly. And once again, good luck!

STACEY

Congrats Velva and Nate for making the f2.. I think. I believe that anyone who makes it far is deserving of making it far, no matter how they played what they did, just because they must have done something right to make it. cough* Anyway, I only have one question for the both of you.


Since I'm such a big idiot, I really don't know how to read that well, so I havent read any of your comments or answers to the other jurors questions. So what I want you to do instead of forcing me to have a brain overload is to just tell me the most important facts from the other jurors questions. Tell me whatever you think I need to know in order to vote, and remember to keep it slow.

Thanks guys, and much love.

NATE'S ANSWER

So, this is how I saw the jury questions...I apologize to Velva (or the jurors) in advance if I misrepresent anything in this synopsis:

TYE: He asked for information about his eviction and all things game-related to him, which Velva and I gave him pretty matter-of-factly. He also asked me who I thought would win in a fight between Batman and Spiderman...clearly Batman wins.

CHARLIE: Wants to talk about himself more. Asked us each to say the worst possible things about him we could think of. I gave it my all and Velva hasn't yet responded (as of when I posted this).

ERIC: Hates my guts and is assumedly voting for Velva. Called me a liar and backstabber and asked why I should win the game. My response: I played a strong and proactive game while Velva was carried through the game. He did not ask Velva a question.

DEVON: Asked Velva why she didn't stick with him until the end and she said she thought she had a better chance with me and Cealy. Other than that, it seems like Devon and Velva adore each other. Devon thinks I played a "pretty sloppy social game" and thinks I was a strategic retard. I defended myself and my game, but he didn't care.

SARAH: Asked me about our relationship and how I saw it throughout the game. I said that my friendship with her was slow but grew to be strong, until she threatened to quit after I nominated Devon. She asked if I had any morals and I told her that I never stated anywhere whether I had morals and that it wasn't fair to judge me based on her assumptions. She said Velva was a silent and under the radar player. Velva said she played a game building relationships while promising things to only a few people.

Aside from that, anything else I'd want to say I put in my opening statements. Basically, I believe I played a strong game, was dominant in challenges, and was good enough at the social game to get to the F2.

VELVA'S ANSWER

Questions or Comments for Me:

Questions or Comments for Nate:

Was I really your number one? (Cealy)

you were absolutely my number one, followed quite closely by devon. you were the first person i truly bonded with and, while i had a close connection with devon, always had you at the top of my list. towards the end, i knew i'd never be able to beat you in a jury vote, but wanted you in the game because of my alliance towards you. i had the chance to vote you out in the final 4 by forcing a tie and then breaking it to evict you, but i rejected that notion.

Do you really think you deserve my vote? and why. (Cealy)

i would hope to get your vote. i know that you were close to both me and velva, but i think we've been through a lot more and that i've proven myself to you time and again (minus the last vote, which i've already explained). yes, i withheld info from you at certain points in the game, but it was never against you. i never lied to you except at f3.

Who do you think I am going to vote, and why. (Cealy)

brain: me. as much as we went through, i was always loyal to you. even when i withheld information, is was never done in a way that worked against you. from knowing you, you respect people who play the game to win and who make moves to better themselves. i like to think that you and i are similar players, except that i'm much rustier at the social game.

heart: velva. she's the sweetheart, was your home away from home. she was true and though you might not respect her strategy as much, she holds a special place in your heart.

I'd like you to explain our entire relationship to you for the entire course I was in this game, from your perspective please. (Sarah)

but my respect for you as a player dropped to zero when you begged for over an hour to quit the game when devon was nominated. as a friend, i felt close to you, and maybe that's why your meltdown that round was so painful to me.

at the final 6, when i decided to use the diamond veto on devon, i'll admit i lied to you, dev, and stacey that entire round, saying we were going to put up cealy and on how she'd learn her lesson! i had to lie in order to prevent devon from going through with his simliar plan to backdoor me.

Sarah's Response:

I am offended that you lost all respect for me as a player when I "threatened" to quit. My whole reasoning was that if I was evicted over Devon, your plan would have failed, and that would have made me feel like a winner. If I can't win, why not make the cocky jackasses Cealy and Nate feel like losers? Unfortunately that didn't happen.

I'm going to be 100% honest here, Nate. At first, when I read that you and Velva were the final two, I was inclined to vote for you for the win, but then I read the answers to all the questions and I am doubting myself. I do think that another part of the game is to not piss people off. It's a strategy that is rarely thought of and respected, but I think it is really something to consider, especially since it is tremendously hard for a player to accomplish. I mean Velva did a lot of things right, she was social enough, made friends, made true allies, was extremely loyal to them, earned respect, won challenges and didn't piss anyone off in the process. How do you get that far and still manage to not piss people off? So why not just give her the win now? Competition wins don't mean shit to me, to be honest and it looks to me like she got her way the whole time as well.

Please explain why Velva should get my vote. My vote (Sarah)

velva should get your vote because she played the game you hoped to play and did much less lying and backstabbing than i did. you seem to respect her approach to the game more and should vote along those lines.

On a totally different note, I want you to tell to me at what specific moment you decided you were going to have to end our alliance and betray me at some point later on in the game. (Devon)

the thing is, you yourself admitted to me the round of the diamond veto where you got voted out that you were planning to do the exact same to me - win diamond and put me up to boot me - and had even conspired with stacey to do so. to your credit, though, you backed out of that plan. your integrity and my apparent lack of it has us each in our respective places. was i proud to vote you out? no. did i feel at the time i had to do it? yes.

Nate, the only time you were honest with me was when I was on the block. So three times. You told me you would be there for me. I said the same thing and I meant it. Did you? No. Because the third time you were HOH you nominated me.....I never would have suspected it was you behind my eviction. I truly thought when you said you would "see what you could do to save me" that you had and I thought for sure I'd be safe because I had you on my side.(Eric)

Is there any reason I should vote for Velva to win? Be honest. (Tye)

while i believe i played the better game and have been less than praiseful of how velva got to the f2, she had some positives. she positioned herself with a few key people and was able to get by without having to lie or backstab too much.

there are people who prefer more subtle players and if you're one of those people, you should vote for velva. that said, i still feel i played the better game and would be honored to have your vote if you agree.

CEALEY

QUESTIONS FOR VELVA

I think it's pretty clear this is DEFINITELY (yea I copied and pasted) not going to be a surprise vote.

I vote for Velva <3 to win! I owe her that much.

Nate - 0    Velva - 1

SARAH

Nate - 0    Velva - 2

Well, here I am on the jury of BB Secrecy 6. I have to choose between Nate and Velva. The person I am voting for made up my mind with their answers to my questions and also other people's questions. This person made me laugh out loud in their response to Charlie's final jury question and didn't cop out like the other finalist.

That said....I vote for....

Nate. I hope you win. I like how you didn't shit from anyone.
 

Nate - 1    Velva - 2

CHARLIE

OK so yeah Nate what a Dumb ass I mean even when andswering questions it still is a game on what to say and what not to say. HELLO like i'm going to give my vote to the person who actuly DID talk shit about me. whatever It is like Survivor Africa when Brandon ask a question to Ethan and the question was like who was the worst player or somthing like that and eathen said him (brandon) WHat a dumb ass like brandon was going to vote him after that;. same thing heer. plus he lied to me and the reason why i never made it farther. As well as Nate is the second Uglyest in this game. I just lied to him acorse behind eric but who cares about him. and I'm not going off the whole shit talk he actuly dis apointed me in it there was a few good things the mother and the strok was the best but besides that he kinda suck. plus velva NEVER did ANYTHING to me so she gets my vote

My vote to WIN BBS6 goes to Velva
 

Nate - 1    Velva - 3
 

CEALEY

There is a point where you really need to let go jealousy, bitterness and envy. it’s a hard thing to do especially when you’re in denial about it. I didn’t think I was jealous, bitter or envious of either of them. I left thinking I was all okay with everything that happened. Truth is I am so jealous, I am so bitter, and I am very envious. I wanted to be in this final two so much. Right now these are the three traits that describe me. So if I’m bitter, jealous and envious of someone… what does that tell you?

I vote Nate to win the game.

The fact that I am bitter towards you, envious of you and jealous just means that I want to be in the position you’re in. I don’t feel those traits towards Velva. I feel them towards you. You deserve this.

Nate - 2    Velva - 3

DEVON

I was being sincere when I said that I feel both Nate and Velva earned their spots in the final 2.

I was also being sincere when I said I feel Nate is a good person...even though he likes to bring up people's mother's strokes when asked to bash someone based on gameplay (or at least, I think that's what Charlie's question said. It's not like I've understood half of what Charlie has attempted to say during this game...) I do know that he wants to win, and that he in some ways does deserve to win.

Unfortunately for him, however, his deservingness doesn't detract from Velva's deservingness, and to be frank, I could play the game Nate played any day of the week for breakfast. I could never play the way Velva did. It's easy to coast through a game with a strategy entirely based on a couple of lies and some challenge wins --and Nate certainly wouldn't have survived the game without winning all of those challenge.

Velva played a much more subtle game, but she played it herself--and I don't believe one word of Cealy's bullcrap "I did everything for Velva and carried her." That's obviously bullshit, considering Velva didn't even fully trust Cealy. Plus, I think the methodical nature of Velva's journal shows she was thinking every step of the way and knew exactly what she was doing, whereas I don't think Nate knew what he was doing for half of the game. Guess what Nate? If you had been as methodical as Velva, you too would have been able to deduce that I might have voted for Sarah in Round 4, and that Charlie couldn't have since two people didn't vote.

But enough of this corny, redundant speech. The point is, I'm voting for the person who I feel played this game the best, and because of that...

I vote for * * * * to win.


STACEY

Vote: I vote for * * * * to win Big Brother Secrecy 6

Reason: I feel as if * * * * answered there questions better than the other and that * * * is basically just a jerk. I don't like the way they played this game and that they were so cocky. I think that * * * * should win just because they were somewhat loyal and does deserve this.

With all the votes now in it was time to reveal the winner of Big Brother Secrecy 6....

And the winner is....

I would like to thank all the players of Big Brother Secrecy 6 for one great game! Although it had a rocky start the season was an overall success and a fun one too host.

Thank you once again to everyone who played in the game and watched. It was a great time and I hope you all enjoyed playing and reading the episodes as much as I loved hosting!

Check back in mid November for the applications of BIG BROTHER SECRECY 7 to begin.

With a new batch of houseguests and twists, the house of secrets is opening its doors once again!
