Hey everyone. I played this game with 2 goals: prove that I wasn't as bad as my days as Boogie in URTV3 and to have fun. I accomplished my goals. This game has been a lot of fun and getting to know you all and play with you has been a blast. Every action i made against any of you was always on a game level and never meant to be taken personal. I never "faked" niceness. I generally do tend to get along with everyone as I don't see a purpose in hating people over a game. I am a social player and so tend to rely on making friendships. In this game I also relied on winning many competitions to get me further. I was a part of multiple alliances in this house - some by choice and others by necessity. My true loyalty from the beginning of this game was always to Angie and Dani. My loyalty to Triple D (Dan, Dani, and myself) was instantaneous when it was formed in week 3. Every move i made was always to benefit these 3 people as well as myself.

I know a few of you are angry at me. My intent was never to make this game anything other than fun and so I apologize. I voted out Libra based on trust as I had a "secret" deal with her and Brian told me just before the vote that she formed a F2 deal with him. Scott warned me about Brian being sneaky. He brought Brian into the game but Brian formed a final 4 without Scott which affected my trust. Scott was angry I didn't help backdoor Dan and told me he didn't know if he could trust me. These cases resulted in my decision to help evict them. Jen was better at competitions and had also partially thrown me under the bus to Angie. Adding in that she didn't seem to like Dani resulted in Triple D agreeing to keep Jun with a 2-1 vote. Veto controlled Angie's eviction as I had no vote. I personally didn't want to see Angie go even if it did make future decisions easier for me. Jun was evicted based on my alliance to Triple D. Finally, i chose Dani for final 2 to remain loyal to where this all started.

I play with my heart doing what feels right. This prevents me from having regrets. I hope that clears many things up. Bring on the questions. I will answer you with complete honesty. My only request is that you go into the questioning with an open mind and base your vote on who you feel played the better game. Thanks for making this game fun.

Jury,

Like most of you I came into the game with an alias and right away I found out two people who I had a bad history with: April & Jessie. So I had my first two targets in fear they'd find out me and I'd be out the door. I had only one alliance: David. And the first HoH was very revealing, it showed that the rest of the house had ties. I also found out that Jun and I knew each other, so that was one more person I could count on aside from David. That first week I was shown a message from David and there were six people invited to the HoH room: Libra, Jen, Angie, Brian, David, Jun. So with enemies in April and Jessie, and now being out of the loop with this 7 alliance, you could imagine how I felt.

The 7 did the dirty work I didn't need to, they got rid of April. And when Jessie was up with Sharon, it was then when I got close to Dan. I told him we were both the underdogs and that the HoH room had a huge pack. He was not aware of this and the two of us wanted to get Sharon to stay over Jessie. I got Jun to vote out Jessie, but when it looked like Sharon was gone, Dan, David, and myself voted out Sharon. But the week after Sharon's eviction is when the Triple D alliance really bonded. That HoH endurance that I won was us against Jessie. Jessie was badmouthing myself and Dan to David, which we would see every word he was saying. The three of us stayed in a chat room for hours battling Jessie. (Unbeknown-st to him) Jessie was going to back door Dan that week and somehow believed he was part of the 7.....so one of us had to win.

After I got Jessie out, I started talking to Libra a bit. She looked like a possible ally even though I put her up, but when Scott placed Jun next to her, she had to go. I was on decent terms with Scott at that point but not in an alliance, so I was crossing my fingers at that nomination ceremony. But of the 7, I got along with David, Jen, and Jun. I did not have a problem with Angie either. I started feeling better about my position and kept trying to turn the 7 against one another. So my biggest target was Scott, as well as Triple D's. When the twist week came around with are new final 4 alliance of David, myself, Dan, and Jun, we had the power to definitely get two people up. Scott was a definite, but when Brian was going to put myself and Dan up, we decided he should be the second person. So we split our votes 2/1, 1/2. Unfortunately for myself, I was targeted by the rest and put up but with 2/3 the nominees being our targets we got through the week.

Triple D was set for Final 3. David had Angie, Dan had Jen, and I had Jun. Dan and myself wanted Angie out and David preferred Jen. To me, both had to go for my ideal final 4. When Angie nominated me, I wasn't shocked - but I knew I was safe. I could trust David and Dan and thats all the votes I needed. Her biggest mistake was putting up Jun. It definitely was game over. Jen going up shocked me, but it was the perfect time to boot her as she had tried to get David on the block to get me out. Either way she was not in our alliance and jumped ship when she saw the 7 sinking. After that I had to get out Angie and I saved Dan and made him promise to vote her out the next week. At final 4 I debated Jun going farther but she had to win POV and at the odds she was facing, she lost and got the boot. Final 3, I knew if I won I'd be hurting an ally. David was my original alliance since the beginning and Dan and I were the two underdogs who lasted to the end. I felt like both would take me and it worked out in the end.

There is my long yet brief summary of the game - I will answer your questions with 100% honesty as there is nothing to hide anymore. Good luck David and fire away Jury.
