[CELEBS] Probably Nominated for 4th – Press Fire's Button

Hey Kovaze. I’m writing this a bit before day change because, at this point, the cards are pretty much on the table. Instead of a vlog, I wanted to lay out my game clearly before the vote/nominations are set. I came in with a handful of connections — guib, Lover, ChloeKay, Envious — but very few actual deals. The main exception was my F2 with Tone. Early on Day 2, The Stakeout formed between me, Tone, desh, SummerBabu, and Brxanne, and I stayed committed to that group for as long as the game allowed. Say what you want about the mess, but at least four of us made it to the final five. I also had a strong Royale chat with High and Akshar before Akshar was taken out early. Even after that, High stayed as one of the most consistent through-lines in my game, especially when things got tight. Before The Stakeout leaked, I did everything I could to keep it protected. That meant gathering information from people I was actively nominating, pretending I wasn’t close with Tone, and even throwing out alliance names when I had to so nobody could trace the real structure. It was messy, but it was intentional. After the leak, the game got volatile fast. I backstabbed people. I flipped sets. I tried to force ties. I fought because I had to. After Poof left, I became an easy person to blame for almost every vote because I was the one making sets when other people didn’t want to put their fingerprints on them. But the other side of the house was never invisible. The lines were clear, and I was one of the only people, alongside SummerBabu, willing to actually try putting Lover and on the block when no one else would. I managed to keep my allies safe for two more DCs before desh flipped, and even after The Stakeout faded, people still came to me for information, reads, and sets. At F6, I read the room well enough to split the vote and keep myself alive. Sure, it got me called weird and annoying, but ultimately I did what I needed to do to protect my game. I’m not going to pretend my game was clean. It wasn’t. But it was active, visible, risky, and mine. I didn’t coast, I didn’t hide behind the house, and I didn’t play safe once the game became unstable. I stand by the game I played. I loved this season, I loved fighting through it, and if this is the final four vote, I’d appreciate your save. For now, please save one of the friends here: https://kovaze.com/celebrities_poll/21436
