Hi Gabs, Firstly, thank you!!!! I really appreciate what you've said, because I did genuinely enjoy working with you and I think we did have some really good conversations throughout this game. I am happy that I made the alliance between myself, you, Cristi and Jaded. I was very real about it and I think I was the one trying to be the glue to keep us all together, but I understand your reasonings for nominating me. I think the move I regret the most, is how I handled the NaughtyNacho vote. Not necessarily the vote itself, because strategically I understand why I did it, but I regret lying about it afterwards and making it messier than it needed to be. I was trying to cause distrust elsewhere in the house and groups and protect my own position, but looking back, I think I could have owned that move and been more direct. I should have either fully committed to owning the vote from the start, or finding a cleaner way to handle the aftermath without creating unnecessary confusion around it. I've answered a similar question to Hwest14 regarding my competition wins, but I do think my competition wins were a huge part of my path here and I will not downplay that. I needed safety and power, I was a huge target week after week. I survived two nominations without any competition wins those weeks, due to my social game. If I had not won as much, would my path here be the same... probably not. I do think I still had the social and strategic capabilities to find a way forward, my competition wins protected me but my social game saved me when I couldn't win. The juror I think that has the biggest reason to be bitter towards me is probably LQ. Her and I were friends before the game started, both being British and I ultimately did decide to evict her out of the game. This is the vote that hurt me the most the entire game, I always had doubts in my head whether she would trust me or Benopolis more, I know she is a smart player and she knew Jaded and I were already a duo, so I thought she would definitely choose Benopolis as her duo. What solidified my vote, is that I knew LQ was lying about saving Houston and plotted this with Benopolis, though when I asked her, she did seem to act shocked and confused as to how Houston stayed. In my personal opinion, I do not think LQ saving Houston was honestly a good move for HER game, but it was a good move for Ben's game. This came apparent when Houston already chose to evict her the next round. So, going into the final 6, I thought LQ could potentially do something similar and take me out. It was an extremely hard decision and Houston can vouch that I was on call saying I love her so much and I truly felt awful, but game wise I think it is best for her to go. I think I deserve to win over Jaded (love Jaded too!) is because I believe I played the more complete game. I was a major target, I won the most competitions with 5 HOH and 2 POV (and 1 swap), I demonstrated I could survive being blindsided without power, I played with a lot of different of people and never the same group. I had a lot of influence across this season even when people had reasons to target me. My game isn't perfect and I own that, but I think the winner of ASBB2 should be someone who had a major impact on the season from beginning to end. I believe I did that and I fought HARD!! I made many difficult decisions, won when I needed to, proved I could socially survive and was thoroughly strategic. That is why I believe I deserve to win and I would really appreciate your vote to represent our season. Thank you for your questions Gabs, it gave me the chance to explain a lot.

I know I was willing to build relationships. I talked to Tisha early on about wanting to work with you and Cristi because I had found Ben and LQ suspicious at that point. When you won HOH everyone was telling me that you were nominating me and then you ended up nomming Tisha so I felt uneasy about working with you two moving forward. However, I knew I did come into the game with people I knew. As I have said, these are not people I talk to everyday (minus Tisha), so I had to reassure myself with the people in the game. I worked with people when needed, leaked information when needed, threw competitions when needed, and won competitions when needed. I knew I needed to win that triple eviction HOH to keep all of my allies safe, so I locked in and won it. I made sure all of my allies were in the game because I knew they were constantly coming for each other and not me. If I was a juror, I would vote for me. I was never in danger. I believe everyone needed me more than I needed them. If I had lost allies along the way Tylor (I did lose him), but if I had lost Tisha or Ben or Houston, I always had a backup plan. I never needed to rely on competitions because I only won one HOH and still never touched the block after week 1. I think Tisha did make bigger moves, but I think I made the right moves for myself and my close allies to make it far. The juror I would remove instantly would be Glitter. I enjoy Glitter as a person, but I clocked him as a threat right away. I wanted him out week 1, he won POV. I wanted him out week 2, he won POV. I wanted him out in the double eviction, he won POV. I wanted Tisha to take him out at final 6, he won POV. Finally we were able to get him out at Final 5 and he was the only person I did not feel safe with. It was like trying to kill a cockroach that just would not go away (love him though). I think I deserve to win over Tisha (love Tisha) because I had many paths that I could have gone with many other people. I think he needed me more than I needed him. Week 2 I had to bully Tylor into nominating DK so that I could keep Tisha safe. I won veto at Final 9 and used it to save Tisha. I won't lie he helped me a lot by being completely loyal and by winning competitions and I would never discredit him I love him for life. I just believe that I had other paths to the end had he been taken out. <3
