Boobies first, I mean Ladies

Hi everyone on the jury, welcome back Chad, Quinn, Thrills, Heather, Jessica, Yang and Anthony.

I first off wanted to thank our lovely host Jeffie for taking the time and putting forth 100% effort on his Big Brother All-Star game. Jeff’s challenges were fast and fun just like his game. I found I am not as quick on my toes as I use to be…..you pretty much needed to be a magician for most of them. Jeffie is an amazing host thanks again for hosting.

When I accepted to be in this game I was not so confident I would even get far let alone get to the final two with Nathan. Thanks again for taking me to the end Nathan. To all of you that don’t know our history, well this has never been done before (us going to finals) and I wanted to say how proud I am of us finally doing what is sometimes impossible in these online games.

I came into this game knowing from the beginning I was a target, not only for being a previous winner but for knowing and being social and close to some of the players. I don’t usually play the UTR way, but I had no choice in this game with whom I was up against. Everyone suspected who I was aligned with from day one; it wasn’t rocket science to figure it out. I had an alliance with Quinn but we weren’t as close as me and Nathan were. Quinn was distant and with Nathan, we were always talking, scheming and strategizing. Before we started the game Yang wanted me, Warren and Nathan to also work with him, so we gave it a try. Warren was freaked about Yang(aren't we all )and well I didn’t trust him for one minute. It didn’t take long to find out Yang’s agenda was a bit different then mine and he was playing both sides. I was trying my hardest to help my allies and our alliance win the challenges, but all while Thrills was around, that was an impossible feat. Nathan and I were big time targets and were up against some good competitors. I worked side by side with Nathan throughout the entire game and we worked hard to survive after we lost our allies Warren and Quinn. We knew at any time at least one of us could leave the game. I made sure to win the challenges I needed to too keep me and Nathan safe, as he did as well. I didn’t make the huge moves and get my hands as dirty by breaking ties and sending most of you packing, but I always had a voice in every move and decision while our alliance was in control. We worked close together and strategize most of our moves made in the game and that is why I am sitting here today.

I had a goal in this game and it was to get to the end with someone loyal and trusting. I wanted someone who was going to put forth in challenges and help me further my game, as I would for them. I wanted so bad to do that with Quinn, but he just wasn’t around. It’s no secret that Nathan and I are good friends and have always worked well together. I am no fool not to hook up with someone of his caliber. Making it to the F2 as previous winners is a phenomenal feat to pull off in a game, especially since we were such a huge threat. I am up against the best of the best and it’s an honor and a challenge sitting by your side Nathan. Oh and of course I can’t forget the jury; I know some of you are not happy with me and the way I played, but we all know we can’t make everyone happy with our game play. Overall I know I played a good game and I know I wouldn’t be sitting here without the help of some of you so I must of did something right. ;D

Jurors, I know this might be a hard decision on your part, feel free to ask me anything game related and I will answer to the best of my ability.

Good luck my dear friend and ally Nathan. BooYAH!!!

I understand this is a holiday week, so I know some of you might not even come by the site to see Final TC has started, but to those of you who are going to take the time and ask questions and vote, I appreciate it ;D Nothing worse then having the end of an org end with abandonment. Please...if your not going to ask anything, at least vote.

Thanks and have a Happy, Healthy, Safe Holiday, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and have a Happy New Year!!!!

Well the game is coming to an end, and I'm thrilled to be sitting here in the final 2 with Erin who was my ally from the very start.

In many ways, getting to this point has been a year long journey for me. The first RGO game I ever played was Big Brother 5, and that game started on January 1, so it's very appropriate that I'm sitting here at the end of Big Brother All Stars as 2009 is coming to an end.

As the most recent winner of this series, and as someone who won by being aggressive and bitchy to everyone in the game, I figured I would be a huge target in this All Star game. In many ways I felt like I had to work a little harder than some of the other people here. So that's what I did.

I fought hard, never gave up, told lies when I had to, won 7 challenges (more than anyone else in the game), and built relationships that allowed me to have complete trust in my allies. I'm responsible for taking out some of the biggest threats in the game, and from an eviction stand point, I definitely have more blood on my hands than anyone else.

I'm proud of the game that I played, and I think it's hard to deny that I was a major force all throughout the season. Whatever happens, I'm happy to be here with another former winner, and someone I consider a friend. I also want to thank you all for being a part of my “journey” – I realize that my success here came at the expense of many of you, and that fact is not lost on me. So thank you for that. I'm looking forward to answering your questions. Happy Holidays to all!
