Welcome to Big Brother Secrecy 7. After
eleven dramatic evictions we are now down to the final two players: Andii
and Justin. The season has been one of the most dramatic yet as revenge
played a pivotal role. The addition of blocking one player following an
eviction created tension from the very beginning. The first round saw the
birth of the 5luts alliance and its quick fall following Ty's eviction.
Robert and Tyler left quickly after, thanks to their involvement in the
alliance along with Jess, evicted for being a girl. After the four evictions
it was time for the jury. Lilly was the first to join the jury after a twist
nominated her for a third time in a row. Mack followed her along with Allan,
saved from the previous round. Tracy, to the happiness of many, was next and
with the evicted players in power, Evan was evicted thanks to pure revenge.
At the final four several of the players were aligned and Mandy was evicted,
resulting in a very long award winning rant. The final three then competed
for the last HoH were Justin won and took long time alliance member Andii to
the final two, making Allie the final jury member. Now it all goes back to
the jury as they question the final two and ultimately cast their vote for
the winner of Big Brother Secrecy 7...
Once the seven jury members re-entered
the house Andii and Justin were given the chance to give an opening
statement...
ANDII
First, I wanted to start off by thanking
everyone for a great game. I want to thank Serious Joe for taking the
time to make all the challenges and giving me the chance to play his game. I
want to thank Tina for doing House Calls and for her ginger hair. (: I’d
also just like to say I respect how everything played out in this game and
what was meant to happen, happened.
This game was such a journey for me, and no, I’m not just saying that, this
game was tough! I’ve enjoyed every moment of it and everyone I’ve met along
the way. I do have to say this is one of the nicest games of Big Brother I
have ever witnessed in my whole life and that is what I think made the
difference for me.
When I started playing this game, I never saw myself in the final two. I
never thought I’d make it this far to see the finish line of the game. I’m
standing here now and I’ve come as far as I can. I don’t regret anything I
did at all in this game because everything I did, even if you saw it or not,
it made a difference. Big and small things matter too. I guess that is one
reason it is called Secrecy, not everything was always seen. Most things
were probably over looked that I did because I totally was underestimated.
Here is small confession I guess I should come clean about. I knew Allan and
Justin before this game. I’ve known Justin longer than I’ve known Allan, but
I trusted both of them in this game with my life. I wanted to keep it quiet
because I figured it would help out more in the long run of the overall
game. I’d also like to take a moment and say congratulations to Justin. I’m
happy to be standing next to him at the end of this game. Good Luck with
your jury questions.
Also, I am ready for any questions you may have about the game. I promise to
answer everything truthfully and honest. I’m not going to sugar coat
anything, but give you honestly blunt answers. I’m sure Justin will also do
the same. Thanks for your time and your patience.
JUSTIN
Hello Lilly, Mack, Allan, Tracy, Evan, Mandy,
and last but certainly not least, Allie. The reason why I said each one of
your names instead of addressing you as a jury is because I dont think of
you as just a jury, but as individuals. Without each and everyone one
of you and everyone else who played this game, it wouldn't have been what it
was. Ive learned something from each one of you about how to play the game
which Im gonna explain in each of your threads. Some things are positive and
there might be some negatives also. I just want to be honest as I expect all
of you will be. This has been my absolute favorite game Ive ever played.
I've loved meeting and getting to know all of you. There are a couple of you
who I truly consider my friends and Im grateful for having met you through
this game. I also loved the twists, the challenges, the whole secrecy
concept and especially the competition. I fell in love with this game from
the first week I was on the block. It was stressful even when the game just
started but I knew if I could get past that first week, I would be
determined to do whatever it took to stay in the game and make it as far as
I could. At first, I didnt even think I could be in this position, but I
kept playing the game like I knew I could and here I am, along with Andii.
It's been a crazy ride and I feel that all my hardwork is paying off just by
being in this final two. Coming into this game, I knew 2 people. Allan, I
know pretty well and Andii, I know very well. I will go into full detail
about both of them in the jury questions. Other than that, I had no idea who
anyone was. So I had to rely on my social game more than I ever have before.
But I always did my best in challenges. I won 3 HoH's and 2 rewards.
I felt like I had a big impact on the way everything went down and I'll be
happy to tell you all about it... everything from my strategies, to my
alliances, and my opinions on everyone each round. I haven't played a
perfect game and at times, even an honest one, but I don't know anyone who
can go through a whole game of Big Brother playing completely flawlessly and
totally honest. That is a hard thing to do. I just played the game knowing
that it was a game and if I wanted to win, there were things I had to do in
order to make it to the end like gaining trust, doing a little bit of
manipulating, trying hard in challenges, and an important one, seperating
friendships from the game.
I'm looking forward to reading all of your thoughts and questions even
though I am nervous. Who wouldn't be when you're at the end of the game and
have to answer to all the people who got evicted and who you've voted out up
until this point. I also feel like there are a few misconceptions about my
gameplay so I really want to clear all that up and I promise to answer
everything as openly and honestly as I can. You all deserve to know why I
feel I deserve to win this game. I also want to say Congratulations to
Andii! It was an honor and my pleasure to play with you and also to watch
you play your own game. Good luck to you with your questions. Oh and a BIG
thanks to Joe for hosting a great game, to Tina for being an awesome house
calls interviewer and to Matty for liking my screenname enough to get Joe to
cast me. haha
I know this was long as hell. Or it seemed like it was. lol Thanks for
reading it you guys and I hope I answer all your questions to your liking!
You're all awesome and it was great getting to play this game with you!
Thanks again.
With that it was time for the jury to
get their questions and comments out there. Lilly was up first...
LILLY
No questions. I just figured I'd actually DO
something here. I like you both, so YAY FOR THAT.
My confetti twin <333
Mr. JT <333
K, now that we've expressed my love. I leave you with my favorite quote from
the best show on this planet.
Destiny is a fickle bitch. Good luck to you both.
Oh, and my vote was determined the second I got voted out. I'll still read
the stuff I think will be entertaining though. Loves!
Although Lilly didn't ask for a
response Justin then stood up to give some words to Lilly...
JUSTIN
Well hello Miss Lillllyyyyyyy!!!
Thank you very much! It was a blast playing this game and getting to know
you.
That saying is very very true. Destiny is indeed a fickle bitch.
(btw, Ben is still my hero. You know this.;))
I think it also applies to this game very well.
If its Destiny that I win this game, then the fickle bitch is the whole game
itself putting obstacles i.e. the players and the challenges, in my way to
get here. It sure as hell wasnt easy but it was fun challenging myself and
others. I know you didnt ask any questions, so really quick, I just wanna
say what Ive learned from you. I learned that trust is not an easy thing to
come by. You really have to work at it. You dont trust easily, but you did
with me (for the most part lol) which makes me think that if you're really
willing to put forth the effort to get to know someone like I have with you,
then they really will trust you. Not just in a game, but in life as well.
That actually meant a lot to me because I have major trust issues as well
and even though I didnt fully trust you in the game, I trust you with
everything else!<3
By the way, anyone who questioned the fact that I was fake or just talking
to people with the intention of having a false relationship for the purpose
of the game is wrong! I wouldnt talk to someone for 6 or more hours a night
if that was true!
Andii then decided to leave a comment
for her ex-confetti twin...
ANDII
Lilly, Confetti Twin, I find it
really surprising I feel like we clicked so fast because I don’t click with
girls right away. I normally find them to be a little bit catty, but you I
don’t think I ever viewed that way. When we talked it was so easy to say
what was on my mind or make a conversation out of whatever. We could be
talking about bologna and we’d make it into a two hour conversation. I don’t
know how, but we’d find some way. We both love confetti and that is a must.
I really did enjoy all the conversations that we shared. You’re an awesome
person. Thanks for the statement and take care. It has been a pleasure
playing this game with you as well. <3
It was then time for Mack to ask away
and being cooped up in the jury house had Mack wanting some fun...
MACK
Well, I guess it's time for me to be Mr.
Serious Mack and ask you guys some questions about what the two of you did
to make it to the final two.
....Or not. As you two hopefully know, I'm all about a good time, so I'm
going to ask fun questions =D. However, I'm also going to ask boring
questions about your gameplay that way I get more facetime in episodes yw!
JUSTIN
Justin, when I was in this game, I honestly thought you were a HORRIBLE
player. I mean, I would say "Jump" and you would always respond with "How
high?" You did what I was uncapable of doing, and that was appear to be so
dumb that people would think I wasn't a threat and keep me around. In the
final 8, when I didn't know who HoH was, I knew I was going up. When I had
too many people saying they kept me, I knew that I was going home. Now, the
great thing about you Justin is that . . . I thought you were voting to keep
me for sure. You and Andii both did an impeccable job blindsiding me, so
congratulations on that.
Hey Mack! Thanks for all the questions. Im
glad you asked some funs ones.
First, lets get to your theory of me being a horrible player.
I sincerely hope you didnt think I was stupid. My strategy with you was to
agree to pretty much everything you said. We had formed an alliance when we
were both on the block together first week and I used that to keep your
trust in me for as long as possible. The truth was, I didnt agree with a lot
of what you said, but disagreeing with you would possibly cause conflict
with you and I didnt want to risk that and have you not trust me or even
want me out of the game. To say that I was dumb, when acting dumb towards
you WAS my strategy, is ridiculous. Also, because I was HoH, I didnt
boldface lie to you. I really didnt vote you out. So with all that said, if
the fact that I was HoH and nominated you, which lead to your eviction
pisses you off, then by all means, vote for Andii. But if you think that
voting you out was a smart move and you feel that I played a better overrall
game, then vote for me.
ANDII
Just like with Justin, Andii I thought you were an awful player as well.
After I was evicted, I figured that Justin was moreso behind it than you
were. So, what I'm saying is . . . I still think you're not the best player
(obviously better than me, since you got to the final two). Sorry, but I
just don't see you as being some AMAZING strategist as much as I see you as
someone who just talked to people, which was enough to get you in the final
two.
Um, I just want you to say that my vote is
completely up in the air. I didn't really expect to have to vote in this
game for the final two (duh, I was the obvious winner pick from the
beginning), so please answer my questions with a lot of energy. DON'T BE
BORING
My Fun Questions!
1. Between Jeremy and Tracy, who would you say has more personality?
JUSTIN
Honestly Mack lol. As much as Im sure you'd
LOVE to see me say Jeremy. I cant. That dude couldve been raped and killed
in an alley and I wouldnt know because I never talked to the guy. I even
texted his mobile phone and I got no response. So that worried me With
Tracy, I at least knew she existed. I never spoke to her for more than 5
minutes at a time sporadically through this game. But that still grants her
more personality than someone who seemd to be just a figment of everyones
imagination.
ANDII
Honestly, I’d have to say Tracy
wins hands down on this one. Jeremy was never much of a social player and
often disappointed me with how he played the game. Plus, Jeremy turned my
offer for a date down, so I kind of hate him. ): I know a lot of people
don’t think much of Tracy, but I actually like Tracy. Sure, she was quiet
and didn’t talk a lot, but she seemed to always be working a lot. Give her a
break, she tried her best.
2. I would like for you to insult three jury members other than myself. Say
something really, really nasty about them.
JUSTIN
Lilly--- Wow. Ive never met a bigger
slut in my life! This girl will give it up to anyone for some lip gloss and
a happy meal. Sorry Lilly, but I know how you roll. Its absolutely
disgusting.
Tracy--- Her hairdo in her avatar is straight outta the 80's. (Not
that Im one to make fun of someones hair. lol) But I picture her wearing a
bright florescent sweater with acid washed denim jeans.
Its 2009, not 1985 Tracy!
Allan --- You are so moody that you make me wanna go on
anti-depressants. Ive often thought about tying a rope around my neck and
throwing it around my ceiling fan whenever Im talking to you when you're sad
about something.
(Disclaimer: Blame Mack for these! Its not my fault. I dont mean this
crap! <3)
ANDII
Damn you Mack. You know I
wanted to insult you right? ): Take all the fun away.
No, really Mack, go ahead and hate me, but I’m not insulting anyone on the
jury. Call me a crybaby, whatever, but I can’t even think of anything to
make fun of them for. I’m just really not good at being mean.
3. If this game was titled "A Shot at Love with Jerry Berry Boi," who do you
think would win?
JUSTIN
Certainly not me, thats for sure. But if I
had to pick someone who could win it would have to depend on what team
Jeremy played for.
If Jeremy played for the sausage team, Id say he would for sure pick you.
Just because I dont think anyone could possibly love him as much as you do.
If Jeremy played for the tuna team, Id say he would probably pick Lilly. But
then he would be disappointed cuz she's the biggest tease ever. :/
ANDII
If this was A Shot at Love with
Jerry Berry Boi, I’m going to have to say that no one has more love for
Jerry Boi then you Mack. You seem to know everything about him and no one
else can compare to the bond that you two have shared during this game. So,
I guess the better question is, you still have a shot at love with Jerry
Berry Boi, are you interested? (:
My Boring, Serious Questions
Notice how there isn't an exclamation point?
Just when the two thought Mack was done
he stood up and got all serious on them all..
My Boring, Serious Questions Notice how there isn't an exclamation point?
1. Which of you two WAS actually more responsible for my eviction?
JUSTIN
Well, Andii helped gather the votes to vote
you out but I put you up. It wouldnt have been possible to even vote you out
at that point in the game unless someone nominated you. That was me. Not to
mention, the odds of you going that round werent even that good. The only
reason you did is because Allan took himself off the block.
ANDII
I believe that in a way I was
responsible for you leaving, but of course Justin was the one that put you
up on the block, but he did ask me who he should put up and asked me in
combinations who I would vote out. Every combination with you, well, of
course, I felt like you were the biggest threat in the game to me, so I said
Id vote you out. Even though, I know that weeks target was suppose to be
Allan, I was all about you leaving the game, so when Allan won reward that
week, I basically said he needed to take it. Then it was between you and
Allie, I basically made sure that people were going to stick to voting you
out with me. I went to Tracy and Mandy because they seemed like they would
relate to the same reasons I wanted you out. I basically stated the fact
that you were a huge challenge threat and manipulative with people. The fact
is, I wasn’t this awesome challenge whore and you seemed to be, and that
scared the fucking shit out of me. The next day I went back and double
checked that Mandy and Tracy were voting with me to get you out. I tried to
stay on top of things, so that some how you wouldn’t pull a fast one on me
and stay in the game.
2. Which jury member's eviction was overdue?
JUSTIN
I would have to say Tracy. Her under the
radar strategy worked great for her because she made it to jury but I really
feel as though there were people who played harder than her and should've
been on the jury also. Like Jess for instance. She may have been all the way
in the UK and been on a different time schedule than the rest of us but she
still took plenty of time to talk to everyone and play the game the way it
should be played.
ANDII
The jury member that eviction
was overdue, I’d have to go with Tracy. Tracy, I think your great, but
really I feel like some other people in this game that didn’t make jury
really deserved to be on jury because Big Brother is a social game. Not
being social in Big Brother is like not having a plan in Survivor, it just
doesn’t work if you don’t have it. I really feel like Jess should have made
jury and it was a total shame she didn’t get too.
3. What was your MOST INTERESTING strategic plan you made in this game? I
want something really, really juicy here pls.
JUSTIN
Well one round was extremely hard for me but
I was also playing it really strategically. It was Round 5 I think? When
Lilly Mandy and Andii were on the block after that Team Challenge. You were
in the second round where you had 2 votes. You really wanted Andii out at
first if I remember correctly, but you changed your mind because Lilly was a
bigger social threat. Even though it sucked because I knew Lilly was a
goner. I still had two allies that stayed in Andi and Mandy. Well, basically
my plan which was to not even vote Lilly. I knew Allan was gonna vote Mandy
and everyone else was voting Lilly.
(YES ALLAN.. I did vote WITH you for 1 round) The whole idea behind it was
that I was keeping my word to Lilly by not voting her out but also not
exactly telling her she was going. That was pretty underhanded. But it
worked and helped me get to this point. Obviously, if that sways how people
wanna vote for the finale, so be it. But Id rather own up to it now then
have them find out later on.
ANDII
One of the most strategic plan
moves I made during the game was week seven when I was on the block. It was
the reward ceremony where we played a mini. The reward for this week was to
find out who a previous HoH was. Justin and I had both been HoHs, so we
thought it would be safest if one of us won the reward.
During this mini, I made a small alliance with Allie, just for the mini and
of course I had Justin working with me. During the course of the game we
basically controlled how everything happened. Then once I was in the final
three, Allie told me I could go ahead and take her out if I won the next
challenge, which I did win securing Justin and I spot in the final two. At
the time, I don’t think anyone knew they were helping us out greatly by
letting Justin win the mini. Nobody wanted any of the nominees to get off
block either because they didn’t want there plans to change. I felt pretty
secure where I was standing that week and also I got to find out who a
previous HoH was thanks to Justin.
4. What was the benefit in getting me out of the game?
JUSTIN
The benefit besides you being one of the better social and challenge players
in the game was that I had a feeling that you could turn on me at any
moment. I knew that you and Allan were close. I knew that you did talk to
Jess quite a bit, and also later found out that you and Mandy talked quite a
bit. So right there will tell you that I needed you out of the game. I feel
as though that was a key round for me, especially. If you or Allan hadn't
gotten evicted back to back, I wouldnt be sitting here right now. That's a
fact.
So all in all Mack, it was fun playing with
you in this game. You taught me how to laugh at myself more than anything
else. Having fun was first and foremost and you always kept that in
perspective. So in that aspect you definitely played a big role in me
getting to the end of the game. Not even trying to kiss up. Its just the
truth.
Thanks again for your questions and good luck with your vote.
ANDII
Getting you out of the game was
probably one of the biggest reliefs to me because I know you were also
working with Justin and Allan both, which were my closest allies in the
game. I felt if you were gone, it would benefit me because they would both
be more loyal to me in the long run of things, even though I know they would
be more loyal to me no matter what, it was just the fact they didn’t have
you as an option. Plus, the huge fact of you being such a damn challenge
threat always hung over my head and stayed in the back of my mind
constantly.
Thanks for taking your time to ask me a question and for the patience for
waiting on my answer. It has been a great pleasure to play this game with
you. <3
After Mack's questions Allan as up next
and got personal with his two, what he once considered, friends in the final
two...
ALLAN
Congratulations. i guess.
It will be hard for me to choose because I have known you both for quite a
while now and this was the first game I ever got to play WITH you, so I was
wondering how it was gonna work out.
I have some idea of how everything went down, and I actually do not want to
talk about it.
All I ask is why you didn't trust me to be in the F3, like we had said all
along. I know screwing over allies is my big thing in these games but we had
never played before. You both saw the video I made in which we were the F3,
so you knew how i wanted things.
When did your opinons of me change, and why could you not just tell me that
you wanted to vote for me?
I blamed a lot of stuff on the wrong people. Sort of.
Please clear this up for me, and for everyone else, who is just as confused
as i am with what happened to them.
JUSTIN
Hello Allan! First, I just want you to know
how I excited I was to finally be playing a game with you. You were a good
host in Survivor Horror, so I figured you would be a good ally too.
I knew of your reputation of screwing over allies which I never let stray
too far from my memory. But I was willing to risk it because we're friends.
The first few rounds were going good. You had my back when I was on the
block the first week and I had yours when you were on the block the second
week. After a couple rounds went by, however, I wouldn't say that my opinion
of you changed personally, but my opinion of how you were playing the game
did. I noticed how close you were getting with people. That is to be
expected. Were playing Big Brother. Its a social game. But I started to
question your true intentions once Jess was nominated against Lilly and
Mandy. You offered me an alliance with just you and Jess. Normally, anyone
with a brain accepts an alliance but I couldnt say yes to that one.
At that point in the game, I rarely talked to Jess. Granted, we were online
at different times of the day but she never reached out to me to talk. So I
was weary about the whole thing. The whole idea of getting us to align with
Jess was just to keep her around for your benefit. That was apparent. So
that was the first time that I questioned my trust for you. During that
round, I also learned how tight you and Mack were getting, which was another
signal that maybe, just maybe, you could screw me over in the end. So then
Lilly, Mandy and Andii went on the block from the Team Challenge. That was a
really shitty round. You were open about the fact that you wanted Mandy out.
But Mandy and I were getting closer, so I didnt know if I could go along
with that. The dilemma for me that round was that I was close to all 3
girls. Then the main thought you expressed to me that round was that you
didnt want Lilly gone, which was another worry for me. So Lilly got evicted
and you were upset once again that nobody was voting with you. But there was
a good reason for that. You were good at talking to people, so your social
game was awesome and you were winning challenges. So my thought was, and im
sure other people felt the same way, the less allies you had the better it
would be for everyone else. However, through your frustrations of nobody
voting with you. Guess what? I did vote with you that round. For the sake of
not sounding like a broken record and saying the same thing in each jury
answer, I explained it all in Mack's thread.
Then came the next round. I won HoH. With you not being happy about the way
things were going, I wanted to step things up a bit. I felt like I was in a
good position in the game, and it might be time to get rid of some challenge
competition. So I decided to put You, Mack and Allie up. It worked out
pretty well. Everyone blamed Tracy for it because of the way the reasons
were worded. That was strategy for sure. I never really expected it to work
out so well. I figured something would give. But it didnt. You were the
target that round, Allan. Mack was the backup plan because even though Mack
and I were aligned up until that point in the game, YOU were aligned with
him too... and Allie, I knew wasnt going anywhere, so she was definitely
pawn for that round. Then you won reward and saved yourself. That was pretty
frustrating honestly. You always told me how I boring I played in your
Survivor Horror game and even in iSurv1vor10 you said the same thing. So
once we were in this game and I realized I might not be your first choice
for an ally anymore, I did what I thought was best for me in the game, which
was getting out a power player. Nobody likes hearing their gameplay is
boring, so I definitely had something to prove that round. THIS was the
actual round where you showed me your video confessional about how you
wanted you, Andii and myself in the final 3. Now, I truly believe that is
what you wanted. I do. But really, in all honesty, it seemed like you wanted
it then because all of your other allies were getting voted out. It was like
you showed me your video confessional, and then maybe that was proof enough
that you were loyal to me. Well yeah... NOW! After Jess, Lilly and Mack were
gone. Maybe I got the completely wrong impression of your intentions with
that. But thats just how it seemed to me. I think its apparent I have trust
issues myself.
So then you got nominated again the following round because someone else who
didnt like how you were playing won HoH. Andii and Tracy were nominated with
you. Now you knew the only other person Id think about voting out was Tracy,
who was absolutely no threat to me or anyone else for that matter. You are
right about one thing. I shouldve just came out and told you that I was
voting you out. One of the many times in this game that I didnt tell someone
when I should have. But anyways, the reason in your case why I didnt tell
you was because I knew how good you were at swaying people. Also, I saw that
you and Evan were getting close, so that was another factor in voting you
off. When everything was said and done, I was playing to win and you were a
definite roadblock in my way to getting to this point. Even if you Andii and
myself were in the final 3, I know that you wouldve taken her to the end had
you won. I just wasnt willing to take that risk anymore. So that is how
everything changed for me regarding you in this game.
Last thing I would like to say is that the way I played with you in this
game has nothing to do with how I feel about you personally. I consider you
a friend and always will.
The thing Ive learned from you about how to play these games is that if you
really want to accomplish something, you have to be willing to separate the
games from friendships. I know you were really hurt by everything that went
down but I dont regret what I did because I know that you are mature enough
to handle it because you KNOW its just a game and because its what I felt I
had to do at the time.
Thanks for your patience reading this. I hope this answers all your
questions. If not, Ill be glad to answer more.
Thanks again Allan.
ANDII
Allan, honestly, you know how I
am, and you know that my opinion of you never changed throughout this game.
I never once question anything you did in this game because I knew you would
have both of our best interests at hand. I really wanted us three to be the
final three too. That was my plan all along, if I would have had things my
way.
Then the next thing I knew, I was up on the block against you. I never once
campaigned against you, but I did try to secure that I was going to be safe.
I knew people wanted you out and really the position I was in at the time, I
couldn’t do much of anything and it was terrible having to be so helpless
myself, yet being up against you. I know how much we put into games and it
just wasn’t a pleasant situation all around. If I would have voted you out,
I would have told you of course, but you know with out a fact that I would
never have voted you out, that is why no one wanted me off the block. They
were unsure of what I would have really done, if I was taken down from the
block. Just to let you know, if I was taken off the block, I would have
voted for you to stay.
Thanks for taking your time to ask me a question and for the patience for
waiting on my answer. It has been a great pleasure to play this game with
you. <3
Many weren't sure what Tracy would say
but she stood up ready to give her comments...
TRACY
I would just like to say
Congratulations Andii & Justin
on making it to the final 2.
I have no questions, only comments.
Andii, you were one of my favorite people in this game. I really enjoyed
meeting & chatting with you. You were one of only a handful of people that
made me feel comfortable & welcome in this game.
Good Luck in the vote.
Justin, I also really enjoyed talking with you as well, the few times we
caught each other on. I think you played a good game & definitely deserve to
be where you are.
Good Luck to you in the vote as well.
Justin and Andii then responded to
these comments in hopes of swaying Tracy to their side...
JUSTIN
Hey Tracy! Thanks for the kind words.
First, I just want to say that while I realize towards the end leading up to
your eviction, it got kind of awkward. I wish I had gotten a chance to talk
to you more and really figure out who you were as a person. But the truth is
that I didnt. At first when the game started, we both said we would watch
each others back and we always had nice exchanges with each other which was
cool, but I never felt any substance to go along with them. What I did learn
from you though, is how to play the game without having to resort to bad
mouthing or any kind of verbal low blows towards anyone. You were always
respectful. That is hard to find in a game where emotions can easily run
high between competitors. The one negative about your game, however, that
did help me along the way was that if you truly want to win, you have to be
willing to meet everyone in the game at least half way. If only this
could've happened, I'd like to think that the outcome might be different and
I wouldn't be standing here. Who knows though. But that is one thing I took
to heart while playing with you.
So thanks again Tracy and good luck with your vote. I know you were closer
to Andii, so Ill understand if you vote her. But I know you'll also give us
both a shot at proving we are worthy and I truly believe I am worthy of your
vote!
ANDII
Tracy, I just wanted to say
thank you for all the nice things you have said about me. I really have
enjoyed playing this game with you, even if other people haven't. You’re a
very busy lady and I totally respect that. I’m sure you gave everything your
best shot.
I have enjoyed all the chats that we had. I always loved how you were
totally straight forward about everything within the game. You always gave
me your honest opinion and that is what made me really trust you. Anyways,
take care and congrats on the engagement. It has been a pleasure at playing
this game with you. <3
It was then time for Evan to speak and
went the "fun" route, similar to Mack...
EVAN
Congratulations to the both of you for
making it here together. I figured you two were really tight for some time,
and then you even ended up as the final 2 in the mini-game. I knew something
needed to be done about you two, but I wanted Tracy to go and then that
twist came along and shat in my cheerios, so I really couldn't do anything.
Congratulations though nonetheless.
---------------------------------
I don't have individualized questions for either of you, I just have
objectives for each of you to think about as you answer my questions and
others.
Andii, you were one of my favorite people in this game, but I never thought
you were really playing the game or doing all that much besides just being
nice little Andii that no one would really want out. Just before I left the
game though you told me some things that made me think you actually were
playing a hardcore game, and I want to know more. I just want you to prove
that you are game player. That you did play the game with strategy. That you
didn't just sit there. That you did take some risks.
Justin, I never really knew what you were up to during this game either.
Towards the end I did catch on. It really just seemed like you were just
making everyone believe that you were tight with them and completely worked
them over until BAM, you voted them out. You did tell me you were voting me
out (eventually), but I know you led some other people on unnecessarily. It
just seems like you just built up these false relationships and then let
them carry you by, not having to do any of the work yourself or putting
yourself out there at all. Show me that there was more to your game than
this.
---------------------------------
Now! Here are the questions/assignments I have for you both!
Since Joe just LOVES his little 3 adjective game, I want you to pick exactly
3 words to describe each of the following (keep answers confined to just
this game)...
Andii's Game-play:
Justin's Game-play:
Evan's Game-play:
Big Brother Secrecy 7:
Well that was just too easy. Now I want you to write me a short story as a
metaphor to your journey in BBS7. It can be written like anything you
want... a fairy tale... a spy thriller... whatever. Make it creative, but
also make it relevant to the game and show me that you did have some insight
into everything that went down. Have fun!
JUSTIN
Hey Evan! thanks for the comments. Seriously at
this point, its refreshing to hear any kind of criticism about my game. Good
or bad. As far as what you said about working people over goes... Isnt that
one of the key elements to success on Big Brother? I mean, the point as far
as Im concerned was definitely to gain peoples trust. If people trust me,
wont they want me to stay in the game and help them as much as possible? Me
having that trust helped me as much, probably more than it helped them as
thats obvious in me sitting here in this position. As Mack pointed out in
his comments to me, he thought I was a horrible player. Well, I was happy to
let him think that. His misconception of me definitely helped propel me to
this position. I actually take pride in the fact that you didnt know what I
was doing at first. That meant, that I was good at keeping secrets. Not only
my own, but other peoples secrets as well. It wasnt that I built up "false
relationships", because that was NOT my intention. I truly enjoyed getting
to know people in this game. (Refer back to Lilly, Allie, and Mandy's
threads.) Those are 3 people I want to continue to be friends with.
Obviously not counting Allan or Andii in those as I was already friends with
them and will remain that way for a long time. Each round I was looking
ahead to the next one. Each time I evaded nomination, I was relieved to be
safe, (barring any kind of twist) as I had no idea what kind of stuff Joe
was going to do to us. lol
The first round when I got nominated, I thought I was screwed. People didnt
know me and I was aware that there were players in the game that knew one
another also. Once Ty put his foot in his mouth and made it clear that he
was the one who should truly go to keep the harmony in the game, I didnt
campaign as much as I could have. So I stuck to just building rapports with
people instead. The second round was kind of a gimme round for everyone.
Since Robert was such a big mouth the round before about him being HoH, it
was clear who needed to go once he was put up on the block by Lilly. Plus,
why would I want to keep someone in the game who badmouthed me without
having to get to know me? Not to mention he was up against Allan and Andii,
so yeah I definitely pushed for Robert to go. The third round was when Andii
was HoH and put you, Tyler and Lilly up. Now, ultimately anyone who she
decided to put up was HER decision and hers alone, however, I wasnt close to
you then and rarely talked to you at that point in the game. So I did in
fact suggest that she put you up. Her target was Tyler and I just said "hey,
why not put another person who could be a threat up, like Evan?" I asked all
three of you who would you rather have out from the other two nominees..
Lilly and Tyler both said you. You said Tyler. Now, if I let people carry me
without doing any work myself, how could I have done that and still been
able to help get votes to keep you? Dont you think that its possible you
also could've "worked people over" so they would keep you? I mean, lets be
honest. That seems very feasible to me. Keeping you instead of Tyler was
definitely a good move on my part. You trusted me more at that point or at
least it seemed that way. So much so, that I offered an alliance with you to
get some girls out because you were worried that they would start taking
over the game. You agreed to it. So once I saw nominations and Lilly Mandy
and Jess were up, then I absolutely knew it was you, no matter how much you
denied it. lol (You finally admitted it, but only after I won a reward to
find out who was HoH a certain round) Now, since I was close with Lilly and
Mandy. It was an easy decision who to campaign against. Jess rarely spoke to
me and it sure wasnt game related at all. So of course I helped gather the
votes against her. The only one who didnt vote Jess was Allan, if Im not
mistaken.
So moving forward, final 9! We all made jury. Woohoo! I felt relieved, even
though I wasnt on anyones radar then, it still felt good to make it that far
and I knew I had a good chance of being in the end. It was just time to step
up my game. The next HoH was the Team Challenge. I was glad that I was on
yours and Allie's team. You were both good at that challenge while I just
plain sucked at it. It was also then that I was figuring out that you and
Allie were aligned. I wasnt sure how close you were because you were also
both good at keeping secrets, but I did get the feeling you were working
together. Lilly, Mandy, and Andii lost and were subsequently nominated for
eviction. This was the hardest round for me by far. I loved all 3 girls but
it came down to not who I liked, or loved talking to, but what would be
better for me in the long run. Lilly had many allies or so it seemed and she
was the most logical person to go at that point. I did help push people to
vote for her but at the same time keeping my word to her that I wouldnt vote
her out. Not necessarily campaigning against her, but throwing in comments
here and there like, "Everyone loves her, she keeps getting 0 votes, shes
the biggest social threat in the game." Knowing that she was going to be on
the jury, I used that strategy to my advantage. Obviously since Im coming
clean about it now, it really didnt matter if I voted her or not. Sure, it
was underhanded...But at the time, thats what I was thinking, whether I was
wrong for that or not, I dont regret it. I also won the reward the blue veto
that round to ensure for safety the following week.
Now, going into the next HoH I figured I didnt really need to win it because
I couldnt be nominated anyway and Id rather be able to play for HoH the week
after. But lo and behold, I won HoH. Granted, it was more of a popularity
contest to see who would be HoH, but all of you did pick me for that. That
says that all of you liked me and trusted me well enough to not put you on
the block and keep you safe. Of course you didnt know who won. So
nominations roll around and I think I did a pretty damn good job of keeping
it a secret. I only told two people who I completely trusted. Andii and
Mandy. Everyone truly did think it was Tracy or so they told me. I took a
big risk putting up 3 people who I was working with. Allan, Allie, and Mack.
We all know how that ended up, but I mean my whole thing about it was that I
had aligned with power players! How was THAT going to help me reach the end
and actually have a chance at winning it? So I knew something had to be
done. Allan of course was the target, he saved himself, rightfully earned I
might add no matter how frustrating. So Mack was the next logical choice. I
never thought Allie was going to be voted out. So Mack gets voted out and
now it seemed like I voted him out, when I really didnt. I nominated him.
Allie wins the next HoH and puts up Andii Tracy and Allan. Clearly her
target was Allan. Everyone knew it and unless he won veto he was gonna be
going. I won the reward and kept the nominations the same because that is
what you all wanted. Im sure this was probably the round where you figured
out that Andii and I were aligned or maybe it was even earlier. But I want
to make it clear, Andii and I NEVER had a final 2 until after Tracy was
evicted in final 6. She will even attest to that. We were aligned yes, but I
was aligned or at least working with all you minus Tracy at this point. Im
sure you may think its a shitty thing to do. To align with someone and then
know you will probably be voting them out later. But I was playing the game.
I was covering all my bases. I wanted to ensure that even if I was a threat
in the game, I should be kept in the game and I was. So I ask Joe about the
round you were HoH, Evan. I mean I knew, but wasnt 100% on it. So now, I
knew who every HoH was up until this point in the game. Allan finally goes
and everyone breathes a sigh of relief because a huge threat is gone.
You won the next HoH! Which in my eyes was a hard challenge. How you saw all
those differences is impressive. I could look at it now, knowing the answers
and still not see them all. Anyways, you put Tracy, Andii and myself up on
the block. This is where what Ive learned from you comes into play. You
played this game with total respect for everyone. That is definitely
something to admire. Its also something that I know NOW and wished that I
kept that in my mind throughout the finish of the game. But there is more of
that explained in Allie's and Mandy's threads. So in keeping with the
respect thing, the five of us who played our hearts out were still
remaining.
Then came the revenge challenge. I loved the challenge but hated that our
fate was in the hands of the previously evicted. It didnt seem fair to me
that any of us would go based on what people not in the game anymore
thought. But it was a twis and a crazy ass one at that. Kudos Joe! *shakes
fist* So Mandy wins reward and chooses to keep herself safe which was the
smartest move possible. She could've very well been in the bottom two and I
guess we wont know until the episode comes out. You and Allie are then
nominated. Now out of the two, you were the one I was least close to and I
also felt that if you were to stay, you could be in my position right now
along with Andii or even Allie or Mandy. You were close with those 3 too and
I knew that. I was the last one to tell you that I was voting you out but I
was wanting to do so the night you were nominated because I had made my mind
up who I wanted to vote out. I even asked Allie if I should do that and she
said what I expected her to. "It was up to me." So I didnt unnecessarily
string you along. I hope that you dont think I did. If you still think that
I let people do the work for me, then I suggest you talk to Mandy about this
round. She told me on the phone that she would've been willing to vote any
way I wanted to. That goes into how much trust I gained in this game. But Im
gonna get sidetracked if I go into that. That is all in Mandy's thread. The
vote was 3-0. Andii made the big fuss about how you didnt deserve to go. In
my opinion, she couldve still voted you to stay and it wouldnt hurt her
position anymore or less. Allie was already aware that Andii wanted her
gone. But that was her decision and I respected it.
Onto the final 4! At this point in the game, Im sure I felt the safest. I
had a final 2 with Mandy and Andii. However, in making those deals, I knew I
was going to be putting myself in a really tough predicament. I won that HoH
and secured a spot in the final 3. It was then that Allie finally came to me
and said she wanted to be final 2 with me. Well, here was my thing with
that... Mandy and Andii already had wanted a final 2 with me rounds before
this. But now that Allie's fate was in my hands, she comes to me and asks
for an alliance, which up until then had always been unspoken. We just
always had each others backs without actually saying it. So yeah, this told
me that I wasnt her first choice for a final 2 but I dont blame her for
trying to make that deal. She was doing what she had to do. Just like I was
the entire game. None of the decisions I made were easy. With the exception
of the first 3 rounds where Robert Tyler and Jess were evicted. Oh and the
Allan eviction. That wasnt tough strategically, but personally it was. I
finally decided to put Mandy and Allie up, leaving Andii with the sole vote
to evict. Now, initially, I did want Andii to vote Allie out. However,
somewhere between talking to all 3 of the girls and thinking about who I
truly wanted in the final 2 with me, a thought came into my mind that I
could NOT win against Mandy. I came with the idea to Andii and she finally
agreed to it after plenty of discussion. Mandy was blindsided by this and it
was ultimately my decision. It was definitely the lowest point in the game
for me. Ive played games with my heart before and had it crushed just like
she did in this game, and this time I played strategically. I cant say that
Im proud of how that went down. That would be a lie. But I also dont have
regrets. Mandy and I grew very close in this game and I felt like if our
friendship is true like I think it is, it will prevail over a game. I truly
believe that it will. But Im sure its gonna take time.
So if you think about it, once I won final 4.. It was up to me who I wanted
in the game for final 3 and finally final 2 when I won the final HoH. Im
really not trying to come off as cocky when I say it was all up to me, but
really, its true. I worked hard to be able to control my own fate and now
that Im in this position, I dont control anything. Its up to all of you. All
Ive been doing in these answers is coming clean about everything and being
honest about how I felt and still feel about each and everyone of you. If
coming clean and upsetting people is what doesnt get me your vote, then so
be it. But I can honestly say and believe that Im doing what I should be
doing by letting everyone know all of this.
So I appreciate you being patient and waiting for your answers, Evan. It
took me a long time to write this. lol You wanted to know if there was more
to my gameplay than just forming "false relationships", and having people
carry me, and I hope this explains that neither of those things are true and
I do deserve to win.
Evan, this is a very valid question
and one I figured a lot of people were going to be wondering about. Thanks
for giving me a chance to explain myself. Alright, let’s take a look at how
the game worked out; I was placed on the block four times. The game only
consisted of a total of ten votes, which one of them; I was HoH and couldn’t
vote. One time when I was on the block was pre jury, and the other three
were jury spots. If you break it all down, being nice did pay off, but it
also enabled my strategy as well. When you’re on the block, you don’t have
much room to make many moves at all because you’ve got to make people see
you’re not a threat and that you’re not going to enable their game or cause
them problems along the way. I think I accomplished that all too well if you
ask me because no one saw me as a threat, which is what I was going for the
whole time. If you play a non threatening game, and stay social and
friendly, people are more willing to trust you more so in the long run. I
mean come on; you all had a chance at voting me out four times. Four times
is a lot for someone just being played as the pawn, don’t you think? This
all goes back to my strategy in the game to begin with, which was don’t be a
threat, make strong alliances and stick with them, and if you’re friendly
and social, it won’t get you into hot water. These were just key points that
I always kept in mind for my strategy. When I first started playing I had a
totally different strategy, but after the whole 5luts alliance was ousted by
Tyler, I changed every little thing I was doing. Luckily, it was still early
in the game, so I decided right then and there I was going to start playing
more like myself. Being yourself should come easy and playing as yourself
isn’t always the first strategy you think of either. I played the nice,
innocent little girl who can win your heart over with just her smile. I was
someone who wasn’t a threat at all and at one point each and every one of
you liked me. Just so you know everything I said or felt was always me. It
was real. Hopefully, I answered your question Evan. Thanks for taking your
time to ask me a question and for the patience for waiting on my answer. It
has been a great pleasure to play this game with you. <3
Key words for describing my game play: Charming, Well liked, and Emotional
Key words to describing Justin’s game play: Balanced, Devoted, and Effective
Key words to describing Evan’s game play: Mysterious, Calm, and Easy going
Big Brother Secrecy 7: Entertaining, Friendly, and Organized
I'm going to do the story. I'm just uber tired and it is like 4 in the
morning here.
After an hour of so of Evan's jury time it
was time to move on an Mandy was ready to get her questioning on...
MANDY
Congrats to you both on making it to
the Final 2. You've stepped on a lot of people to get where you are. But,
you guys made it, so congrats. I want you both to answer the following 2
questions.
1.) How do you feel that your game play represents you as a person? Is
this how you are everyday? Or did you put on a persona during this game?
JUSTIN
1a.) My gameplay and how I am as a
person are two separate things as far as Im concerned. I am a good person. I
geniunely care about people and love being a great friend. With that said,
however, this was a game. I played to win. I was forced to make hard
decisions and did what I had to do when the time came, but I do also think
my inability to grow a pair when I needed to be upfront is definitely a
flaw. Normally, I have no problem telling people what I truly think, but
when it comes down to hurting someone, I just cant do it sometimes.
1b.) Im not really sure I understand this question. If its referring to the
first part, then yes. I am a good guy who likes to be there for people. As
far as if you mean unnecessarily lying and not revealing the truth, then no.
That is definitely NOT how I am in everyday life. This was a game for me.
Not real life.
1c.) No persona. People liked me in this game because I am me. Its not an
act. I like to think that I have a good sense of humor, Im caring, giving,
and just easy to talk to.
ANDII
Mandy, I believe that my game
play represented me as a person because I was me for the most part. I’m a
super nice person and I’m really good with talking, but I guess that is for
the most part because I am a girl. I’m not really talking about my wording,
but if you give me a subject and you aren’t as dull as a fucking rock I
could talk for hours. I love meeting new people and being able to understand
them as more than just another person. In a way, I guess I had a little
persona as well, but that was just probably more so the part when I had to
do something I didn’t really like in the game to try to help myself get
farther.
2.) Why do you feel that YOU should be the one chosen to represent BBS7?
What qualities do you feel you possess that makes you a winner?
JUSTIN
2a.)I feel I should be the representative of BBS7 because I feel that I
displayed a lot of different strategies in this game. I played under the
radar for a bit. I was very social. I was trustworthy for almost the entire
game. I was a strong challenge player and I took risks. I made tough
decisions when I had to. Granted, theres always more a player could do in a
game, but I think that overrall I worked my ass off to be in this position
to win the game.
2b.) Qualities I possess to win a game like this:
Hard working. Determination. Dedication. Motivation. Confidence. Willingness
to do what you have to do to be successful. Separation of emotions about the
game and friendship.
Thanks for your questions Mandy. I know this is hard for you to even still
think about. You and I became very close and to have your game end the way
it did is hurtful. Like I said in Allie's, I was a chickenshit when it came
to telling you the truth. You were right about how a true friend should be
able to tell you those kinda things. But really, I seperated our friendship
from the game. As hard as I know that is for you to do, we are different
people. All the conversations we had online AND on the phone were real and
genuine. I told you things that I dont tell just anyone. At this point,
telling you all this now isnt even about the game. You can vote for whoever
you think played better. But you need to know that you ARE my friend and if
it takes a while for you to be able to say that Im yours too, then so be it.
I am patient. If theres one thing that I have learned from you and even
right now as youve still made an effort to talk to me is that forgiveness is
a tough thing to do but if youre willing to make the effort, its worth it.
So yeah, Im grateful for having met you through this game and playing with
you. You're a good player even if you dont think you are. Confidence is key.
Thanks again for your questions AND for your patience. I know everyone was
getting a little restless for these
ANDII
I feel I should represent BBS7
because I wasn’t evil or good really, I was just myself. I figure if you can
get this far in a game by being mostly yourself than you’ve done a pretty
damn good job because all the time people make themselves out to be someone
they aren’t at all. Is that what everyone really wants? I mean so many
people can act fake, but it takes a really awesome person to just be
themselves. I think overall I’d be pretty great for representing BBS7. I’m
not calling anyone fake or saying they played dirty, I’m just saying it
takes a special type of person to really feel they can be themselves in a
game like this whenever every corner you turn there is a new twist to the
game. I feel the winner of the game should have qualities such as of
courage, strength, smart minded, skilled in getting people to trust them,
but for the most part being kind hearted couldn’t hurt. I think everyone
would want someone they could look up to and be like oh wow, they rule. (:
I don’t know if everyone thinks this person is me, but I think I’ve tried
pretty damn hard in this game even if a lot of people might not be able to
see it. I tried to pick my words wisely and I tried to hurt as little people
as I truly could. I don’t play these games to hurt people because I know
what it feels like to be hurt myself by someone you truly thought that was
with you. It isn’t fun, but it happens all the time in these games.
Thanks for taking your time to ask me a question and for the patience for
waiting on my answer. It has been a great pleasure to play this game with
you. <3
Last but not least, Allie stood up and
gave the last questions to the final two...
ALLIE
Hello Justin, and hello Andii.
I would like to start off by congratulating the both of you for making it to
the final two. That being said, as a fellow competitor, I'd obviously be
more satisfied if I was sitting in one of your spots, but I guess that's
just too damn bad for me. I guess I'll now address you both.
Part One: Individual
Justin, you're a good guy. I knew you before we came into this game
from a couple of minis that we played in together, but other than that, I
didn't really know how you were going to play in this game. I'm glad I got
to know you a little more throughout the time we shared in Secrecy. I just
want to let you know that although it sucks to have been evicted at the
final three, I don't think any less of you and I'm not angry with you. It's
a game and you weren't my first final two choice either. Given the position
I was in with my alliance being evicted, I obviously had to try to convince
you otherwise.
Anyways, good job for being in this spot right now. However, I do have an
issue I'd like to address. You and Andii clearly had an alliance going on
and it was evident from a couple rounds prior to the final three. At the
final three, I was pretty damn sure that the HoH needed to be my win if I
had any hope in staying. I didn't win, and I went to you, asking if we were
going to the final two together. I was almost positive that you were going
to evict me but you didn't tell me that. Instead, you said the old "I'm in a
really tough position and of course I'd love to say yes, we're going to the
final two but I haven't told Andii either". And then, you go offline for the
whole day and come on five minutes before the eviction to finally tell me
something I already knew. The fact that I was evicted didn't frustrate me as
much as the way you went about doing it.
Clearly, you may have felt awkward telling me that you weren't going to take
me. However, the point is - I knew the answer and you lied. Yes, I
understand that the game sometimes requires lying and manipulation, but
there was no need to lie in that circumstance and you did anyways. I
guess my question is, why did you feel the need to drag me along
unnecessarily instead of just being truthful about something I already knew
the answer to anyways?
Andii, I enjoyed talking to you throughout the game. You have a good
personality and I can't help but feel like I'm not giving you the credit you
deserve. I'm sorry, but during the game - I always felt like you were
floating. You never really spoke strategy to me and I never really saw you
do much. However, maybe you're just that good and got away doing stuff
behind the scenes. I'd really just like you to explain to me a couple of the
things you did in the game that I probably don't know about and how they
ultimately affected the outcome of your own game and contribute to why
you're sitting in the final two. I respect you as a person, but I need to
respect you as a fellow competitor in order for you to get my vote.
JUSTIN
Thanks for the congrats, Allie. The only
answer that I can give you was that I was being a chickenshit. There really
was no excuse for not telling you that I was evicting you. I knew that I
wasnt gonna be around that whole day and I believe I told you I wouldn't be.
So when I was talking to you earlier that day, it wouldve been so much
easier to tell you the truth right then. But for some reason, I couldnt. I
have this thing where I hate disappointing anyone. But I did anyway, just by
lying and not telling you straight up. If that is what doesnt get me your
vote, then I'll understand. I had two final 2's. One with Mandy and one with
Andii. I know you offered me one and I did lead you to believe that it was a
possiblity. But as far as I know, I really never completely agreed to it. I
just floated around the subject. Thats just what I gathered reading our
convos. So yeah, Andii and I have known each other for over 4 years now. I
guess the secret was that we even knew each other to start with, but nobody
really knew how long or how well we've known each other. We are pretty much
best friends. As much as you can be for just talking online and on the phone
everyday. Allan knew but he never said a word. Like I said in Evan's thread,
we really didnt have a final 2 deal until after Tracy was evicted. I suppose
had I taken you, I probably still would've had her vote, but thats not
really what it was about. I made that deal with her first so I felt I had to
honor it even though I unnecessarily wasnt honest with people (you and Mandy
especially) in the process. Clearly, I made mistakes in this game. I can
always think "Oh fuck, why did I do that?" or "Oh shit, thats gonna screw me
over later".. but when it comes down to it, and its all said and done, I
think that I played an overrall better game and deserve to win. Not taking
anything away from Andii because she earned this too. For sure. Just stating
my opinion. The thing I learned from you Allie, is that even though you do
have to lie in these games, if you're honest and straight-forward, people
will respect you more. After all the questions Ive answered, Im getting the
feeling that people think I played an extremely dirty game. Well, I dont
think it was over board dirty, but I did display some scumminess at times.
(is scumminess a word? lol) But I also played many other ways. I was under
the radar to begin the game, I stepped up and helped get some power players
out , voted out people that I was aligned with no matter how hard it was,
kept peoples trust, and finally won the last 2 challenges to get to this
point.
I hope that answers your question. If not, Ill gladly answer more. In a
timely fashion this time. Promise lol
It was great getting to know you and play with you. Thanks again Allie!
ANDII
Allie, this is a really good
question and honestly, I guess looking from your point of you I’d probably
be asking the same question. I started off playing strong by surrounding
myself with an all guy alliance. I think getting involved with that alliance
was some what trouble, but I did it because that is how I roll. I align with
strong male players, which they all were. The first vote went totally smooth
with getting Ty voted out, but after that it was all down hill. I got thrown
up on the block for being in the alliance, which totally blew, but I guess
it was a valid reason. That way Robert wouldn’t have the votes to stay in
the game at all. After a week of hell being on the block and having Mack
torture me from the sidelines the whole time, I got HoH the next week. I
knew a lot of what I wanted to do, but I talked it over with Justin even
though we weren’t in an alliance at this time. There was a rumor of Lilly,
Tyler and Evan being in an alliance. Also, I knew for sure that Lilly and
Tyler were close. Evan and Tyler had both been in the 5luts alliance, which
entitled them to being close. During that week Ty tried to punish all the
5luts alliance members. Ty also tried to cover Tyler’s ass, which made it
pretty obvious that Tyler was guilty of something. I didn’t want them to
have complete control over this game, so I did want I wanted and put them
all up on the block. During that round, I pretty much found out that Tyler,
being the little snake he is told Lilly everything about the 5luts. Lilly
happened to be the HoH week 2 when I was on the block. Things started to add
up more so in the game after this point. I was pretty pissed, so even though
he was my target before, I made sure it was known that I wanted Tyler out of
the game. I felt Lilly was for sure a strong social threat and was totally
competition for me in the long run. I felt Evan was a challenge threat and
was playing some kind of low key game, which totally worked for him. After
that Tyler went home and I had totally accomplished what I really wanted
too. After that I went back to playing a social yet much lower key game
because of thinking people could still want me out for the pervious rounds.
Also, I’m going to have to refer back to Evan’s question of how it is really
hard to make huge game changing move when you’re stuck on the block like
half of the game. I feel like in a way everyone took a great gamble with my
life as a player and time after time I made it out alive. Really you guys
can’t blame me if you think I didn’t make big game changing moves when every
time I turned around I was on the block because you all put me up there. I
think you guys all just came to the notions that I was going to be fine with
being on the block because I was a weak player and I wouldn’t get upset with
you much. I’m pretty much the underdog of this whole story. I hope this at
least helped a little Allie. Thanks for taking your time to ask me a
question and for the patience for waiting on my answer. It has been a great
pleasure to play this game with you. <3
Part Two: Observation (Both)
I feel that in a game like this, you need to be observant of the other
people you're playing against at all times. I would like you to simply name
who you feel each jury member was closest to in the game. There were a few
people that recognized the Justin/Andii alliance, but how many relationships
did the both of YOU recognize?
JUSTIN
Lilly- Before she even told me
herself after she had gotten evicted, I knew that she was close to Tyler.
Just from the way they talked about each other. Like mentioning each other
without trying to be too specific. Mack- He was pretty tight with Allan, I know that much. They
seemed to get along pretty well.
I know Mack talked to Jess quite a bit because he always seemed to know how
Jess was voting.
Also, later on in the game Mandy had told me that her and Mack talked quite
a bit, but that wasnt obvious to me while Mack was still in the game.
Especially since Mandy voted Mack out. Allan- It was clear from the start, he was gonna do anything
for Andii. He also got close with Jess and really enjoyed talking to her.
Mack which I just stated above, and also before Allan's eviction, I know he
was getting closer with Evan too. Allan always spoke highly of him which led
me to believe that they could possibly be forming an alliance. Tracy - She seemed to be closest to Andii. I figured this out
when Andii seemed to be one of the only people who actually knew what Tracy
was going to do round to round. Evan - He was a bit more hard to read. He held his hand
closely. But from what I gathered early on. He was tight with Andii and you.
Mandy spoke extremely highly of him so I knew they were close. He also got
many praise from Allan. So it seemed like Evan had quite a few people
watching his back. Mandy - Mandy wasnt hard to read. But, it seemed like she knew
pretty much everything there was to know about almost every player. Id like
to think she was closest to me. We talked so much, its hard not to think
that I was closest to her. But I also know she had a deal with you. Her and
Evan were pretty close. She always said how Mack used to talk to her all the
time and also Robert. She was the first one to know that Robert was HoH the
first week. Allie - You also kept your hand close to you Allie! But it was
quite apparent that you were working with Evan, and you had a final 2 with
Mandy. Yeah, Mandy told me that but I was pretty sure you two were aligned
even before that. I just didnt know it was a final2.
ANDII
Lilly: I knew Lilly was pretty
close to Justin just because Justin and I tell each other everything. Lilly
was also close to Tyler, which came in handy when Justin told me Tyler would
be voting Robert out, so we figured they had to have something pretty big
going on for her to have that kind of trust in him.
Mack: Once again, Mack seemed to be close to Justin from my point of view.
They always talked and they seemed to be quite trusting of each other. Also,
Allan and Mack seemed to get along quite well too.
Allan: I’d like to say Allan was closest to me! (: We talked a lot during
this game and I think it probably brought us closer together and along in
that was Justin as well. Allan also seemed very close to with Mack.
Tracy: I always thought Mandy and Tracy were close, but the more I started
to talk to Mandy I realized they weren’t really unless that was a total
front. I’m not sure, but I guess I’d have to say I was the closest to Tracy.
We never had an alliance or anything, but we had respect for each other.
Evan: When the game started, Evan was one of the people I was closest too.
We talked quite a bit and just had promise to watch each others backs. After
awhile though, it seemed like he was closer to Allie.
Mandy: I believe she was closest with Justin. Justin and Mandy talked a lot.
They were always talking all the time. Also, Mandy seemed to be quite close
with Allie. I think that Mandy and Allie probably had some kind of deal
going on as well.
Allie: At first, I thought I was close with Allie, but I guess not as close
as she was with other people. She seemed to be closest with Evan for sure
and having something going on with Mandy too. Justin, also fit in there
somewhere, but I think they only started talking more towards the end of the
game.
Part Three: The Evictions (Both)
Lastly, I want you to go through each eviction of the game and tell me how
the person leaving affected you (positively or negatively). If it was
positive, tell me why. If it was negative, do the same. I want to know how
every elimination impacted your game.
JUSTIN
Ty - I actually thought of this
as a negative at first. I mean, he had a big target on him. The longer he
stayed in, the better it was for me and everyone else. But I realized that
he probably wouldve screwed me over in a heartbeat, so it was ultimately a
positive that he went first. Robert - POSITIVE! This dbag put me up first round just on a
shallow judgement. Who knows what he wouldve done if he won HoH again. Tyler-Another positive. We got along pretty well when the
game started but I can tell he had his own hidden agendas and not to mention
I felt like he could possibly make alliances with everyone in the game if he
wanted to. He just seemed like he was a really good social player. Jess- This was a positive as far as Im concerned. Other people
might not think so. She never talked game with me at all. I pretty much knew
who her allies were and I wasnt one of em. Lilly- Honestly, this was a negative for me anyway I look at
it. Lilllyy is amazing and the fact that I loved all 3 girls that were
nominated for eviction just made it that much more hard when she was voted
out. :/ She had my back. Mack- Well at the time, I wasnt sure if this would end up a
positive or not. I mean, we were definitely working together. But there was
this little doubt in the back of my head that said he was gonna screw me
over. Ill say half and half with Mack. Allan- Hmm.. if I was answering this towards the start of the
game. Id say this was a negative. But looking back on when I nominated him
and when he got evicted up until this final 2, Im definitely gonna say its a
positive. He was wayyy too big of a challenge and social threat to keep
around any longer. Tracy- I wouldnt say it was a total positive. I mean, yeah she
lasted very long in the game and that made her a threat by just being in
there but honestly, I wasnt too worried about Tracy winning challenges or
nominating me or anything. There were definitely bigger fish to fry in the
game. Evan- I would have to say his eviction was a positive. Once
Evan was gone, we were down to four and I got along great with you 3 ladies.
I trusted all of you and Id like to think you trusted me (for the most part
lol) But yeah, Evan was a major threat to win the entire game. Mandy-
This is a double edged sword. One on hand, its a positive because I
still truly feel like she wouldve won the whole game had she made it to
final 2 and on the other hand, its a negative because I know I could trust
her until the end of time. Allie-Your eviction was probably one of the hardest ones for
me. Just because I made such a mess of the whole situation. It was a
positive because I kept my word to an original final 2 I made with Andii.
But it was also a negative because not only do I think you deserved to be in
final 2 as much as the next person, but I also think that if you had won
final the 3 challenge, you wouldve still taken me. (I like to think you
would anyway)
ANDII
Ty: Ty leaving affected me for probably the
better. I talked to him quite a bit, but in the long run I voted along with
my alliance at the time to vote him out. He was overly dramatic and was kind
of stressful to have in the game. I’m sure if he would have stayed in the
game, he would have been a huge threat, but than again, he was so loud that
he would have got under people’s skin.
Robert: Robert leaving affected me for probably the worse. Robert was one of
the only people I made a final two with and I pretty much told him
everything I knew in the game. When I was on the block with him, on one side
of me and Allan on the other that was the hardest part of the game for me. I
thought I could trust Robert, but on the other hand I knew I could trust
Allan much more than I could ever trust Robert. I’m sure if Robert would
have stuck around my whole game play would have changed like crazy.
Tyler: Tyler leaving affected me for probably the better. I knew someone had
let all the information about the 5luts alliance spilled out and I realized
it was Tyler. He had totally let everything out and went to Lilly with all
the information. If Tyler was in the game, I wouldn’t feel safe at all, so I
made him my target the week I was HoH.
Jess: Jess leaving affected me probably for the worse. I think we could have
worked together in the future of the game, but at the time we weren’t
working together. I really liked her and her staying would have been better.
Lilly: Lilly leaving affected me probably for the worse and the better. I
always felt like we would work really well together. We talked a lot and I
felt like I could trust her, but also it was probably kind of good because
Justin and Lilly were really close. When Lilly left the game, it kind of
knocked out one of Justin’s options and left me.
Mack: Mack leaving affected me for the better because he was a huge
challenge threat. I was always scared he was going to pull something out of
his magic hat and it wasn’t going to be a rabbit. Mack was freaking smart
and I never underestimated that at all. The funny thing is he is the only
one that ever recognized that I was really ever a threat when he thought
about voting me out week two.
Allan: Allan leaving affected me for the worse because he was someone I
trusted. I wanted him to stay around for the rest of the game, so I was
super not happy when he left.
Tracy: Tracy leaving affected me for the worse because at that point in the
game I felt like I could count on Tracy. She always was straight forward
with what she was going to do in the game and I figured that even though we
never said we were working together, we kind of were.
Evan: Evan leaving affect me for the best and the worse. At first I probably
would have said it was terrible when he left, but the more I look at the
things the more I realized I don’t think we were really working together at
that point in the game. He was more so working with other people in the game
at that point then me per say.
Mandy: Mandy leaving affected me for the better because she was one of
Justin’s final two agreements. If we would have been in the final three and
Mandy would have won, I wouldn’t be sitting right here at this moment. I
know if Mandy was in final three she would have owned at that challenge too.
Allie: Allie leaving affected me for the better because it meant I was in
the final two. There is no other way to put it.
Justin and Andii were exhausted from
answering all the questions but stood up one last time to give their final
statements...
ANDII
Hay folks! This is it;
everything is over with and said. I think everyone should really get down to
business and decide who they want to win this game. I think were all ready
for this to come to a close. I’m not going to keep you guys very long and
I’ll make this short and sweet.
First, I’d like to thank everyone for being patient with me since I’ve been
having crappy weather. Stupid stuff always seems to happen like that at the
wrong time and it was super annoying. Anyways, thanks for bearing with me
through that. Also, I’ve really enjoyed reading all the questions and
statements that have been made about the game. I’ve also liked taking the
time to try and answer any questions that ya’ll have had.
I just wanted to say once again, the game was awesome. It was such a
pleasure to get to play this game with everyone and get to know a little bit
more about each and every one of you. Thanks Joe for hosting such a
wonderful game and casting me. Thanks Tina for doing the house calls.
I’d like to just take a quick minute to say a few words. I tried really hard
during this game and I know a lot of you don’t see it, but I really did. I
guess what I’m saying is I’m a total underdog, but I did make it past all of
you and that has to say something. I think though in the long run both
myself and Justin did an amazing job. I’m sure no matter how everyone votes
you’ll make a smart choice.
That is all I wanted to say, I’m sure ya’ll have your minds made up. (:
Thanks for taking the time to read this. <3
JUSTIN
Well here we are. The End. I want to thank
all of you for your patience with both Andii and myself. I know I had a lot
to say. lol But thats because I put everything I had into this game. I felt
like I had a lot to prove to everyone, especially you, Evan. You called me
out the most. I wanted you guys to know everything. This was a game of
Secrets. I think almost everyone had one coming into the game. One of the
bigger secrets was that Andi, Allan and myself knew each other. Through the
course of the game, people found out that Andi and Allan knew each other and
Allan and I knew each other. But nobody really knew how well Andii and I
knew each other until probably around week 7. You know what that tells me?
We did a damn good job of keeping that a secret. That is what this game was
about. To see how well you could hide things while still keeping yourself in
a good position with other players in the game. Even when we had other
things going on in our games, i.e. Andi had a 5 person alliance starting
from week 1 until Tyler blew that for them, me aligning with Mack, Lilly,
Mandy all separately, We still talked about what was going on and how the
votes were going. Once that 5 person deal broke up, we then started working
more closely together without anyone really knowing. Once final 6 happened,
even with people catching on to our alliance, I knew that Andii and I could
start dominating the game. We were both nominated with Tracy but we were
kept safe. The revenge challenge worked to our advantage also as we were in
the top two rankings. Then I won the last two challenges pretty much
ensuring that I could be in final 2 and I took Andii with me. I guess what
Im saying is that if it wasnt for us keeping that secret so well, we
probably wouldnt be sitting here now. Andii was nominated 4 times which is
crazy to me because people felt she was no threat and also felt that nobody
would vote her out because she is so loved. Well I definitely took advantage
of everyone else for using her for their own benefit. I was able to help
keep her safe and still keep myself in a good position. I think that says a
lot about how I played the game. There was no fakeness with me. I was always
myself. Even though I did lie in this game, Im sure everyone did. That is to
be expected. Its Big Brother. But I do take responsibilty for everything I
did. Good and Bad. Whether that loses me the game, so be it. Im not going to
regret anything because after its all said and done, Im going to learn from
this game and be a better player and a better friend because of not only the
game, but all of you who played. Me and Andii both worked our asses off to
get to this point. Now its up to all of you to decide who played better and
who did more to earn the title of BBS7 winner.
Once again, I wanna say thanks to all of you. I loved everything about this
game and it would be amazing to play again if I was so lucky. You're all
awesome and it was great that this game was full of nice people. I dont
think Andi or myself couldve ever expected that everyone was gonna be so
cool and chill. Thanks to Joe for making this a kick ass game. I know you
worked hard at putting this all together and you deserve to win Best game
and best host in the ORGR awards.
Good luck with your vote everyone and thanks for making this the funnest
game Ive ever played!
With all of the jury questioning finished it was then time for the seven to cast their votes
for the winner. They each went into the Diary Room one last time to cast their
votes and this time they were voting for who they wanted to see win Big Brother
Secrecy 7...
LILLY
I want Justin to win
Come on, who's really surprised ?
Andii: 0 -
Justin: 1
ALLAN
I cannot even decide. I know both
of the final 2 and know how hard they both played. I should vote for Andii
because she and I decided to play together right from the start, and I should
vote for Juice because he threw me off completely, and played the way I always
wish people would. I cannot make up my mind.
I am going to vote for the person who has played the way I always wanted someone
to play, regardless of how burned I feel.
My vote is for: JUSTIN
Andii: 0 -
Justin: 2
ALLLIE
I vote for JUSTIN to win Big Brother
Secrecy 7.
Honestly, his answers
impressed me more and I think he ultimately played a better game. Good luck!
Andii: 0 -
Justin: 3
TRACY
I would just like to say thanks, Joe, for having me in your
game!
I absolutely loved playing & had a great time!
Now, although I had a great rapport with Justin, and got along well with him,
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Andii & the way she played her game.
Therefore I am giving my final vote to ANDII for the WIN
Andii: 1 -
Justin: 3
MANDY
Well, I must say that I am more than disappointed in both of the f2 houseguests.
They have had a full week to most answers to our questions and only ONE of them
has posted anything at all. I do realize that Andii's power has been out off and
on, but I know that she has had power (and internet) for the last 2 days, and
still nothing. This shows some character perhaps...
Due to a lack of choices during the question/answer process.. and also just
because I think that this person played a more active, strategic, visible
game...
I vote JUSTIN the winner of BBS7.
Andii: 1 -
Justin: 4
MACK
First of all, I was definitely
basing this based on my funny questions, not my serious ones. Sorry, but when
you have a final two pact make it to the final two, it's hard to differentiate
between their games.
Andii had like, forever to get her questions posted aaand . . . she sucked with
her answering! Now, she didn't make me gag as much as Justin did (ew), but they
were both still really fake. In my insult question, Justin answered it, but had
an annoying disclaimer. When Andii refused to answer it, I was livid.
So, that put me in a wierd postition. After really thinking about this, my vote
for the winner of BBS7 goes to . . .
JUSTIN. Sure, he was a slippery little bitch, but in the end, I think he
played a slightly better game & tried harder in the questioning.
Andii: 1 -
Justin: 5
EVAN
I came into this expecting to vote for Andii, but in the
end, her answers were not what I was hoping for. She was a great friend to me
and I'm very glad I got to know her and definitely appreciate her loyalty to me
and others. She was a great social player and was very well liked which helped
her survive more evictions that anyone. Definitely impressive. I really just
wanted to hear more strategy from her though, but I guess there wasn't much more
that I didn't already know. Justin on the other hand, had a lot more to say and
really convinced me that he was always playing the game and doing everything he
could. He really had much more control than I knew and nearly everything went
his way. I grilled him hard and really called him out because I really wanted
him to prove me wrong and lay it all out there. And that's what he did. I
actually think that Justin and I played very very similar games. We had almost
the exact same agendas, and we clicked with all the same people. He went to the
extra mile to kind of secure some of those people though even if he was going to
fuck them over. I'm not thrilled that he went about it like that, but hey it
worked, and I'm sitting here. He played a very well-rounded game, with challenge
wins, a strong social game, and strategy, which is what I look for in a winner.
And through the questioning, I can really tell that he wants to win it. Justin,
you definitely earned it and definitely deserve it.
My vote is for.... JUSTIN.
Andii: 1 -
Justin: 6
With all
the votes in it was time to end the game and reveal the winner to the cast...
