My questions is.....Why? (open-ended) lol
lol Nice. There are a couple questions I can think of, so Ill start off with....
1.
Why did I vote you out?
I want to answer this again because I think you might still be confused as to why I voted to evict you.
Personally, I enjoyed talking to you a lot. The times we did chat we never forced or anything. It was nice. We talked mostly about other stuff and rarely about the game. When we did talk game, I really do believe you told me everything you knew. That was never in question for me.
When you get down to the Final 7, you have to be able to put complete trust in someone who can win a competition and help keep you in the game.
Since you and I weren't even aligned and on top of you not being around much since you were busy, I pretty much had no choice but to evict you. It wasn't personal at all and it was just a strategic decision that had to be made. If you stayed in the game and with the fact that we weren't aligned, it would've been easy for you to come after me.

Why do I deserve to win over Summer?
Well I believe that since the beginning, I had a bigger target on my back. That alone means the game was harder for me to maneuver through. Once the season 4 alliance crumbled, I adjusted myself into a position where I was still in the good graces of some of the players left.
I constantly had to battle through rumors of being backdoored.
NOBODY wanted to admit it though when I confronted them.
I won competitions when I had to, which seemed to be ALL the time. When I was threatened with someone coming after me, I did what I had to do and got rid of them. For instance, with Derek. He straight up told me that he was coming for me if he won HoH. I won the next HoH and made him feel safe, which then made it easy for my plan to go through, which was to backdoor him. It worked perfectly when Lauren won veto and saved Jenita. Derek was dangerous for me in the game so I did what I had to do.
Other people felt that I was dangerous to them, but I was only nominated once and won the veto to save myself. I wasn't nominated at all after that. Why? I cant say for sure.
I can only speculate that either people trusted that I would keep them in the game or they were scared of me coming back after them since I was winning vetos.
I dont really know for sure.
I just know that I have played my heart out since day 1. I had a plan for every week. I was in danger of going home EVERY week unless I won HoH or Veto. I didn't really want to be a competition whore, but it happened that way because everyone wanted me out. I definitely think that I have earned my spot in the final 2.
I didnt have to throw any competitions and I sure as hell didnt throw the final HoH just because I felt like someone would take me to the final 2.
I have an example for you. Summer and Hannah were in part 2 of the Final HoH. The challenge was to name all of the original nominees for each week. Pretty simple right? I mean if you were in the game to win, that is something you should know.
Not only did I have all that stuff written down, but I remembered it all because I was dedicated enough in the game to feel like it was important to remember.
Hannah got 10 out of 13 correct. Summer got 3 out of 13 correct. How does that happen? It doesnt make sense. If Summer was so dedicated to the game, dont you think she would've gotten a better score than that? OR MAYBE She felt like no matter who won, they were going to take her. I dont know for sure. Im just kind of thinking out loud here.
Anyways, I dont like it when other people have my fate in their hands. That is why I deserve your vote, Ashley. I played for myself and did what would get me to the end. Summer and I definitely played different games but I believe that I played a stronger overall game than she did.
Thanks for reading all of this. lol and Good luck with your vote!
