To the final two (cue music…picking cd,yes cd, NSYNC It is). I’d like to throw a celebration in your honour, pull up a chair, and have a “sparkling soda”, on me of course, or maybe you, with all the money you’re about to win (wink*wink* nudge*nudge*). How are you my friends after this long gruelling journey?

For me, a person who hasn't really watched a full episode of Big Brother, I was literally like a fish out of water. I was applying real life attributes to game persona, and that was a hella lot of confusion. I had trouble making it acceptable to lie all of a sudden to people who seemed nice, or “get information” out of someone, only to pass to another. These are definitely not attributes I would exercise on a daily basis, so it was a really emotionally draining game at times for myself.

However, this is not about me, this is about you, and I think sometimes when congratulating someone whose at the top, and who played in a team, you have to also look at the people, whom she or he played with, that made the game what it is. After all, just like life, we all have a shape in the story arch. Twisting and turning the game as it goes.

Congratulations on getting a hold of that “story” so well.

Tasha- You've really had a lot of gumption this whole game. I’ve seen you push through some personal hard days for yourself to finish a comp with a good score or to fight for me to stay. It was truly such a delight hearing your stories about your family. Laughing with you throughout the game, or going through this roller coaster together.

I guess, when it really comes down to it, I just kind of want to know, if you could choose any My Little Pony Character for all of the jury members, which would we be and why?

Tyler- I didn't get to know you as well in the game, but what I got to know is you seemed nice and genuine. You have some great stamina in some of those competitions (the 12 hour comp you pulled outta no where was impressive). I think there was probably a bit of confusion in regards to that because it seemed you were good at comps but at the end in the finals there, you know the story. Its been told before, the results were not similar to what we've seen before, so theres that. You’re a cool dude, and I wish you luck.

As a gigantic fan of the game of big brother and its respective orgs, i would like to give you both a round of applause for doing something that the other 14 of us were not able to accomplish. I would also like to thank tyler and the host squad as well as the entirety of the cast, regardless of how i may feel about all of us individually, for an incredible season that i will probably remmeber for the entirety of my future org career. Now i do have a question for each of you concerning your games and jury speeches, and i hope that you can each dignify my questions with a response.

First i'll adress tyler and then ill adress tasha. 

Tyler: My question for you is simply do you even want my vote, and if you do want my vote, why should me personally (not a vague answer) give my vote to you? The way you came off in your opening statement seemed rude and abrasive for someone who is trying to secure jury votes to win the game as well as how you adressed ali, regardless of how he is coming off. Im pretty darn bitter at Tasha so my mind is not closed and I do really want to hear what you have to say. Thank you for your time.

Tasha: ................You broke my heart, but as a game player i am proud of you. I dont have any questions for you besides the one thats been killing me since i departed. I was this big ass snake in the house for the entire game and i gave you my loyalty, unquestioningly from the begining. If you watched survivor caramoan i feel exactly like brenda did towards dawn if thats any indication for how shitty emotionally you made me feel. But as a player i can respect the move, so dont worry about the vote. When you decided to keep Brett without me, i knew my game was ending. I figured i'd bite the bullet eventually, i just didnt think it would be at the hands of you. I was never going to turn on you, i was always honest with you, i always had your back, so it hurts not just a little bit but a lot. I invested my whole game with you and i got tossed to the side like a nasty drive through daquiri. Why did you choose brett over me? Why???? Its been killing me. I just need some closure and would appreciate any sentiments you can offer me.

Hey guys! I was planning to actually not make a speech but out of respect for you guys making it this far, I might as well. I don't have any questions for you guys because I do believe my vote is locked. Tyler, you were amazing to "work" with in this game and I appreciate all the chats we had, and same with Tasha, I do appreciate you saving me those past round except for the last one where I was placed against Ali, not Lindsay :P so idk if you were closer to Ali or not but that would be my best guess. 

Good luck to you all and may the best player win! 

Tasha & Tyler--I am very proud of both of you and am very happy for both of you.

Tasha, you know how much I adore you. You helped me maintain my sanity as one of the most calm and rational HouseGuests this season and I am thrilled to leave this game with a friend like you. Being clipped at Final 3, I've never felt more at ease about losing a game. A huge part of this had to do with feeling content with the two finalists that beat me, but another part of it is my massive ego that gave me the notion that I had played the best game I could have possibly played and I have no regrets! My question for you is in regards to your confidence in your game. Had we been the final two, how do you think each of the 7 jurors (Tyler included) would have voted?

As for you, Tyler, you know I think the world of you. I do not have a question for you because I feel like I was present for all of your game and I need no clarifications. You played a good game--I am the member of the jury that probably needs the least amount of convincing about that. I do want, however, to express a mild disappointment about an otherwise perfect partnership. I played the vast majority of this game for two--not saying I played the game for you, but rather my mentality was always "How do I propel Tyler and myself forward? How do I give Tyler and myself the best chance of succeeding? How do I get Tyler and myself out of this pickle?" I felt that you had the same idea, but something at the Final 4 happened. The largest damage done to my game came from my ride or die. Even though you had told me we had to get rid of Tasha because of her threat level, you changed your mind to Lindsay. I truly believe that your decision to evict Lindsay was a decision that did not benefit your game at all--it was a major benefit to Tasha's, and it was a major hindrance to mine. I am extremely certain we would have been the Final 2 had you evicted Tasha. Thank you so much for being a wonderful partner in crime otherwise--we accomplished a world of change when we didn't think it possible. And we did it together. I love you, buddy. Good luck.

Hello Jury!!

So firstly, I wanna thank everyone who takes the time to hear me out and may consider voting for me!! I’d also like to congratulate Tasha on making the final 2 along with myself, and good luck to her!!

So, I guess I’ll start off by summarizing my game from my perspective… This game honestly started out pretty rocky for me. For the first two weeks or so I felt like I didn’t really fit in with this cast, and couldn’t click with almost anyone. (I kind of suspected this to be because of this being a much older cast). Because of this I knew I’d have to go for another strategy if I wanted to survive and I definitely did! I played super under the radar for the first several weeks, threw competitions I didn’t need to win, didn’t make enemies, (And the enemies I did make I took out first hand i.e Danny & 2 of the other people who voted to evict me week 5 following in his footsteps right away). And at this early phase in the game I stuck by my ride-or-die alliance which was BRETT (my rock in this game.), who literally promised me final 2 at a point where I felt nearly hopeless in this game. I also aligned myself with Matthias and Ci’ere and remained loyal to them until final 8 when they basically decided to take out Brett, just expecting me to follow along with them. I jumped ship from that alliance and told Brett the TEA. We grabbed Lindsay and Tasha and ended up saving him. We then stuck with Tasha and controlled basically the entire rest of the game, even when we weren’t HOH (i.e Final 6, Ci’ere’s HOH: I plant the seed of Duncan being a rat and he goes home) ...And here we are, Tasha and I in the final 2!

I think my social game was exactly what I wanted it to be. I had good enough relationships with people to where I wasn’t seen as expendable to them, otherwise I would have been nominated at least as a pawn a hell of a lot more than I was… And my social game wasn’t TOO dominant to the point where my relationships around the game were too obvious and I’d have been exposed for trying to play both sides midway through.. (Duncan)

I think that I played an extremely *LOYAL* game. Honestly, I didn’t turn on any of my allies until they did me dirty first in some way, even after winning final 4 POV, I took Tasha over Lindsay KNOWING it would be more difficult to beat Tasha.

Overall I think I played THAT game. Now to say some words about you jurors!!!

Dusk - Honestly, If I could pick one person to have gone further, and that I regret not being able to work with more, it would 100% be you. You honestly were really cool, from the very beginning I liked you and I feel like other than maybe having a mutual liking for each other and possibly agreement to have eachother’s backs, we never really got to work together like I would have wanted to because we were never really on the same side. At the time I was working with Matthias, he wanted you out, (my whole alliance did), And even though I didn’t want you out, we weren’t close enough for me to make some ballsy move to save you. So sadly you ended up going, and it sucks cause you’re definitely the one person I wish I got to know more, and play with for longer. You’re also the only person I think I’ve ever considered giving a pity vote to, just because of that, but when I told you I was thinking about doing that you said I didn’t have to which was really cool of you!! I hope we get to play together again in the future!

Ali - Ali, you were kind of put in a shitty position considering you were gone for MOST of the game, and by the time you came back, lines had already been drawn, and alliances were already formed, so I don’t think you ever really had a solid place to fit in, I think even if you had stayed you would have ended up going on the block almost every week just for the simple fact that nominating you wouldn’t piss anyone off. Basically getting rid of you wasn’t even about getting rid of you at all, it was about saving Brett. Brett was on the block against you and of course I wasn’t gonna let that blindside go down, so like I said, I let him know and we got Tasha and Lindsay in order to flip the votes to save him, and you ended up going home. Obviously this was nothing personal whatsoever, it could have been anyone up against you and I would have went out of my way to save Brett since he was my #1 ally. As far as not telling you goes, obviously no one was going to tell you (or anyone) because if it got out, the plan could have been ruined if Lindsay or Tasha were persuaded by someone to dip from the plan. So, I hope you understand that. You were really cool though, super nice and I think circumstances in this season just never worked in your favor. But you totally have potential!

Matthias - Matthias you were one of my literal favorite people on this season, you were so funny and cool and we seemed to agree on most of what was going on in the game until you wanted to turn on Brett. Now this bothered me not because you wanted to take him out, but because I feel like you and Ci expected me to just follow along with it as if I was yalls puppy and I wasn’t here for it. I think..actually I know.. That you were the most upfront and outspoken people in this game. You literally would post a motherfucking LIST of people you wanted out in the house chat and didn’t give a FUCK. You were definitely playing cutthroat in a way, from that to beasting comps, and I know that out of our alliance your game totally outshadowed mine at the time. I said that I played a pretty loyal game, and I think the closest thing I ever got to a backstab, was voting you out, since we were tight from very early on, but I do feel like you did me dirty enough for me to justify letting your ass G O. You’re still a skinny legend though.

Duncan - Duncan you honestly frustrated me in this game! I feel like you were playing a really transparent game and it was just so easy to see-through your B.S at times. I feel like almost any time you slithered into my PMs, you were there to try and get information from me, and others felt the same, but you did it in the most obvious way that people knew for WEEKS that you were playing both sides, or at least trying to, I just don’t think you did a very good job. For example, telling me we can easily grab Lindsay to keep Matthias (an idea which was provoked by you), and then when I deny your offer, you run back to Matthias and tell him I’m voting you out. The following week when I expose your ass to Ci’ere you suddenly don’t recall any sort of plan? Like….  I liked you as a person though don’t get me wrong!! You’re super nice and likable, I’m sure everyone feels the same way. You were just frustrating to play with at times. Btw still trying to grow that backbone that I don’t have. :(

Ci’ere - Another one of my favorite people! Super nice, literally such a good person, I always loved talking to you and definitely loved playing and working with you for that long period of time we were aligned. Unlike with Matthias, I was actually totally down to work with you even after I jumped ship from our alliance, I just feel like the opportunity never presented itself (for me anyway.) I ended up sticking with my alliance at the time and it was kind of inevitable that you were going to go home when you did. It was genuinely sad to watch you go, especially when you clearly felt hopeless and as if you shouldn’t even had bothered to campaign, but nothing I said at that time was meant to make you feel bad, and I really hope I didn’t! You were totally entitled to campaign for yourself and to address the points you felt were necessary, I just had my own opinions about what you were saying and since I WAS on the block with you, I thought it only made sense for me to argue them to you myself. But anyways, you’re an amazing player and we all know that. 2 HOHs, 2 POVs, and 2 votes to evict. What a king. I also really hope you consider giving me your vote and regardless of whether you do or not, I hope we can be friends after this!

Lindsay - Lindsayyy! Evicting you was without a doubt the hardest decision I made in this game. I really wanted to take you to the final 3, I was going to. But when it came down to it, I just couldn’t take you to the end, when we first formed our alliance of 4 with myself, you, Brett, and Tasha, you basically ditched us it seemed and left no explanation. I still wanted to work with you going forward but it just never really happened. And in the final 4, you never campaigned to me to stay. So I couldn’t take you over Tasha who proved to me so much that she wanted to be in the end, and she actually worked with me in this game. Now though, I realize you didn’t campaign because you didn’t want to campaign against Tasha, and I think that’s really cool and humble of you!!! You were always so sweet and I know most people liked you in the game and that there is clear proof of why! Regardless of what went down you’re great and you played an awesome game. You’re for sure the best fighter of this season given all the times you’ve escaped the block!

Brett - And last but not least, the king himself. I credit you for me making it as far as I’ve gotten for sure. You literally gave me hope in this game at a point where I felt hopeless, and we always did what we needed to do to dig ourselves out of whatever hole we ended up in. From whatever point in the game, whatever alliance I was in, you were always my main squeeze, and my #1 bitch who I was never turning on, and that reigns true to this point too! I would have taken you over Tasha had I won final HOH, and over anyone. We were THAT duo and we played THAT game. I’m not entirely sure if Tasha would have taken you to the end if it weren’t for her deal with me, but that deal totally came along with keeping her, so that way there no matter who won final HOH, I’d be in the final 2. (And I kinda knew I wasn’t gonna win to be real.) Anyways, I feel like I don’t even know what else to say for your summary since it kind of goes without saying, we were the perfect duo and I’m so glad we got as far as we did. It sucks we couldn’t have actually been final 2, but here’s to hoping one of us does win? :) And if that doesn’t happen, you can blame it on me.

Well, that’s all I really have to say! Thank you all for reading, thank you hosts for hosting this season! Thank you to anyone who may vote or consider voting for me! Thank you Tasha for being lovely and best of luck to you. Regardless of what happens I’m proud of the game I played and I’m looking forward to reading you guys’ speeches and answering any questions you may have for me! Also sorry if there were any typos in this, it's late. Bye!
