Sup Final 2. Long time no talk to. Congratulations on making it this far and good luck. Going to be pretty short and simple here, I'll let the other jurors use their pretty pictures and long college educated diction.



Kalia,

As you said on my way out our gameplay never really crossed paths. But the second I was blindsided I knew you were a force to be reckoned with that had your hand in a lot of cookie jars. Though you did get a little cocky after that and I was secretly hoping you got brought back down to Earth you never really did. So well done. I am impressed with how active you are despite your job and your college career (Corey Confession #1 I am actually not in college, but am still impressed with the fact you have time to not only play these but be successful in them). My question for you was which round (apart from the round I left) was the round you felt the most concerned about your spot in the game and what did you do to fix it? Also I feel as if from an outsiders opinion Mad Luna kind of dragged you to the end the last few rounds. Why is this not the case? Thx. GL.



MR. PAUL-E,


I am pretty pissed that you are here. I was so bitter when I left. So so bitter. And then the goodbye messages shaming me for being in another alliance, okay buddy. Well lucky for you it has been a very long time since then so I am over it. Though I will admit, I was anxiously awaiting the day you showed up in jury so I could tell you to your face you were an idiot for evicting me. (Corey Confession #2, I wrote terrible, but not tasteless roasts about everyone who evicted me in my confessional after I left and yours was probably the worst). But it worked out for you. However, looking at the final 9 you arguably picked the WORST person to go to the final two with you. I appreciate loyalty and all, but it is going to be tough for you to win. And loyalty is a funny thing from you considering while keeping Kalia may have benefited you, and the Jury is still out on that one... get it??. It more or less sent your "best buddy" Boogie out the door. But I am off topic. I haven't bitched about how dismantling the boys alliance was dumb in a couple weeks so I have got restless. My question for you is, the way I see it Kalia played great from Round 1 to F6/F5 sometime around then and then you closed the deal in the last two rounds. Explain to me why that is wrong, and/or if that is pretty accurate why I should give you the win because of that.



Thanks to you both. Please don't write very long answers. I am expecting something about the length of my questions. I will be reading everything else the jurors have to ask to make my decision. If you want to respond to any of the other comments I made feel free.

Love,
-The first active to fall (besides Frankie).

What a tease!

MR. PAUL-E,

MR COR-E.

I really did feel terrible about evicting that round. It was never me intention, but hearing about the alliance of you, Jun, Natalie and Jee from Kalia, I just got scared. You were one of my favs to talk to here and it was disheartening that Brolliance didn’t work out.

Alright, I see your point on how you think going with Kalia over the boys was an error. You have to look at it from perspective because it sort of paid off. I don’t see myself fighting this up hill battle against because I feel I deserve to be here as much as her. I played a pretty good UTR game for the first part of the game and then once I was targeted at Final 6 and it getting down to the end, I knew I had to play as hard as I could.You’re not wrong about saying all of that, but I still think I had my role I played in the earlier stages of the game too.

I was fed constant information from the other side and knew about a lot of deals and happenings. Being able to play the game I could and not have to feel threatened until Final 6 was probably as good as I could’ve hoped it could’ve gone for me. The object of the game in Big Brother is to not get evicted and there was a grand total of one time where I was at risk at getting eviction. I think my game could be described as being low key and aggressive at the same time, while I feel that Kalia was always much out in the open with everything.


PS. Living for that roast in your confessional and it’s not lost on me I got the worst one.

Sorry if this is not my place, but evicting Corey was never your intention until you heard about the alliance he had with Jun, Nat, and Jee? But you've been saying everywhere that you and Kalia had this Jason/Danielle alliance, and you went as far as to take her to the end of the game, so which is it? Because if you were willing to vote Kalia out then, what stopped you at Final 4 and Final 3?

Hey Corey! Sorry about being a tease above I hope my answer to your question is at least worth the wait. Like you said, I have a job and I go to college and sometimes life gets pretty hectic for me. I still managed to do well in a game like this, and I appreciate your congratulations about that. I don't think many people would believe the schedule I balance. My alias job actually is different from my real job, and my real job requires more hours out of me. Obviously that's all I can really say right now, but yeah.

I think the answer to your question might come off as a bit cocky, but before I won HoH after your eviction, I was definitely pretty nervous there. However, once I won HoH, every round after that, once the HoH was announced, I was pretty comfortable with where I stood. Jun, Mad Luna and Natalie were some of my closest allies during the game, and I felt pretty safe with their HoHs.

However, the rounds that I felt the most danger would certainly be the final 4 and the final 3. With Mad Luna's final 4 veto win, and his final 3 HoH victory, I truly was wondering if he was going to take me to the end. I know I was the one who connected with him the most socially, and the one he got along with the best, but was it logical to bring me to the end? I suppose we're still here to find out. However, I felt like on paper it wasn't the best decision for him, so I always questioned whether or not he was going to do it or not. Somebody like Natalie was very likeable, but even she said it herself that she felt like she hadn't accomplished as much as somebody like me. Or if he would have kept Jee around and brought him to the end, Jee wasn't the most liked by the jury and he could have probably scooped up a win. Although in most scenarios we will never know what would have truly happened with the vote, I felt like his resume would have better compared with some others in the game. 

I think there's a common misconception here that I was brought to the end by other people. I was the one who instigated the relationships with these people, and without my strong social game and ability to strategize with these people, and convince people like Mad Luna that certain things were the best option for him. (example: putting up one person from each "duo" at the final 5 to ensure my safe, Jee's eviction, and more.) I was nobody's puppet and I wasn't just here for the ride. I was here to win the game, I was here to play and I think I certainly did just that. I played my heart out and despite him being more successful in competitions, I was always at least able to pull a couple of strings here and there to swing things in my favor. I think we could go through almost every eviction after yours and say that it was beneficial to me in some way. Very rarely was there something that happened that was not to the direct benefit of me. Some may call that luck, but I call it me PLACING myself in a pretty good spot. This was my doing, nobody elses.

I hope you are satisfied with your answers, and thank you
