Ghost With The Most

I am an incredibly massive Big Brother fan and borderline walking encyclopaedia so before I begin I just have to say how freaking happy I am to be able to delivering this speech right now. I have always adored the show and wanted to prove I was capable enough to win one day. I modelled my game after BB15 winner Andy Herran, and tried my absolute best to play the most protected game I possibly could. I have never been particularly great at competitions, and in a game where the power dynamics are so focussed on who wins them, I had to rely on my social game instead. I made friends on all sides of the house, and ensured I had a working relationship with all of them. They always included me in their decision-making processes, and I was able to put myself in a strong enough position that I was never in danger this entire game. I did not receive a single vote, and was only on the block one time. I threw competitions to downplay my threat level, but still managed to win the two most pivotal HOH's of the season. I set the stage for how the Jury would look, and took out people who were a threat to my path to the end. From my knowledge of Big Brother, I knew it was wise to not stick your neck out too far early on in this game. Instead, I tried my greatest to lurk in the shadows with a gimmick based on the character I chose. I wanted everyone to see me as someone who was in their pocket and able to work with, so I refused to send messages first. I would tell people I was willing to do whatever they wanted to get whomever they wanted out of the house...but silently watched as they all tore each other apart. Fights emerged and as a result, targets formed. The Beetlejuice gimmick was deliberate to protect myself early on in the game. As the initial rounds unfolded, I opened up more and made my game a little more blatant. Whether it was Hash Slinging slasher making enemies with the house, Christine and Pam's fight or anything else, I knew laying low would naturally put them on the chopping block. I recognised some big threats early on that I would be able to hide behind, and cut when the time was necessary. I made an alliance with Jennifer and Christine very early on in this game called the #Joyriders because I could tell Jennifer was going to be a force to be reckoned with. To me, this meant she would be the ideal meat shield. She was obviously extremely social and was not afraid to over-play like crazy. She was a beast in comps, and I used that to my advantage. I told Christine shortly after making that alliance that there was no way I could commit to Jennifer long term; she was simply too strong of a player. I made it extremely clear to her that she was a meat shield for me to hide behind, and that when the right moment came along I would cut her. Christine never seemed too on board with that, and I think she was quite content with sitting at the end with someone who would beat her in Jennifer. I let Jenn soak up the blood on her hands while I was left looking completely innocent and still able to maneuver. Meanwhile, Christine and I agreed to downplay our relationship for the entirety of the game, and that left me open to pursue connections outside of the #Joyriders. Christine and I had an immediate connection I knew would never waiver, and trust is like gold in this game. I had two allies that trusted me unconditionally, but I was free to look outside that group and foster strong connections with the other "side". Pam, Oogie boogie, The Dolls and Stay Puft were all massive power players on varying sides of the house were people I worked with to advance my own game. As the game unfolded, Jenn surpassed even my own expectations. I knew she was a strong player, but I figured she would be naturally dealt with. This, however, proved not to be the case. She had unbreakable bonds with so many people in this game, that it seemed like an almost inevitability that she was going push her way to the end of this game with little resistance. I initially thought she was the kind of person to dig her own grave, but by the end I knew I had to grab that shovel and dig it for her. I worked my ass off to ensure my plan worked and she left the house. Even when I nominated her for eviction, the vote went to a tie because she had two people (Sam and Christine) who absolutely REFUSED to even consider voting her out. This means that had I not made the move I did, she almost definitely would have pushed her way through this game and had been sitting here. Even when I tied her up and left her vulnerable, her alliance members weren't willing to pull the trigger, and I had to put her down myself. I put myself in a situation in the final 3 where I was with my two best friends. Dolls and Christine had worked with my all game, and had told eachother they would bring me due to their strong connection to me. I set the stage for the sides that ended up forming in this game by evicting Hannibal, but still managed to get along with both. I may not have played a perfect game, but I genuinely gave it my all and think I did a hell of a lot to prove myself as a worthy winner. I played a deliberately UTR game, but knew when to come out of the shadows and swing for a home run. |

*Prepare for closing statements. * BIG BROTHER VOICE: Where is the speaker? Aren’t we like…supposed to hear a speech? …Who is that second finalist, again? Who do we call for? Where even IS HE? Uh…Bug man? Wormsmoothie? Flycoffee? The guy who got rid of that smoking hot Megan Fox Girl. Where’d he go, anyway? *producers sink their heads, and turn on popular TV show Community in the diary room* ![]() Me: Well…Here I am. Might as well give it a shot and turn on the juice and see what shakes loose. I guess it’s up to me to make my pitch for why I deserve to win this thing, huh? Well, to be honest, I played to the best of my ability. I put my heart and soul into this game, and while I did not play perfectly, and made a flurry of blunders, I did what I could to remain in a safe position. I did not receive a single vote throughout the entire game, and was constantly doing enough to move forward, but without drawing negative attention. In my eyes, big brother is such a different game than survivor. They are both games of social deception, but there is a clear fundamental difference: In Survivor, everyone is equal. Every tribal people walk to the voting booth, and their vote is worth the exact same week to week, only changing in context. In Big Brother, you could go multiple weeks without being able to vote. Not only that, but at any given time, you only have the choice between two candidates. Blindsides are MUCH less viable, because you can not just up and vote a unsuspecting target. Another key difference is the fact that the choice to gain power (HOH) makes you a fundamentally bigger target, as well as being more vulnerable. An age old mantra of big brother is that “the pawn always goes home”, and to me that means that the single greatest thing a person can do in Big Brother is to avoid the block. If you don’t get nominated, you can’t go home. That is the fundamental philosophy of my game this season. Was it the most masterful, dominating game possible? No. But I did just enough to survive week to week. I did enough to get people on my side enough to either: protect me, or work with me to get rid of someone I wanted to leave. I refused to allow myself to be a pawn, or draw enough attention to be an easy nomination. I played the week-to-week game early on. Bouncing between the HOHs and being a nice little rat floater. I would always affirm myself with the HOH who won, and ensure we were close. I would always talk to them about the following week, and just affirm them that I would do whatever they wanted to. Is it the most bold, dangerous, exciting game? No. But it guaranteed my safety for that week. Because HOH’s are traditionally quite vulnerable early on (You win x week, cannot compete in following Y week’s HOH, and only have a CHANCE to compete in veto), meant that I put literally no effort in winning the early HOH’s. If I was in a position where I was vulnerable, I would have tried. But I always had enough of a connection to people to hear the juicy gossip, so I did not need to. Not only that, but a key difference is that in Big Brother, being on the bottom of an alliance isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If you are the third -> fifth in an alliance, it means that the other side is more likely to nominate number one or two. To be specific here, I tried to be almost everyone’s #3 or #4. Enough that they knew we had a relationship, and if they won HOH I would support them, but not enough that I was ever a “pair” with any one person. The closest I was to having a pair was with Jenn/Christine, as well as Oogie Boogie later on. Me/Jenn/Christine were tied at the hip, but I always knew I couldn’t trust Jenn long term. I think me and Christine played somewhat similar games. She peaked early, I peaked mid game. We both were not the greatest in competitions. We both were “lackies” for a sizeable portion of the game. We were in an alliance from the very start. We both kept that hidden, but were emphatically aligned to the point where I never once had to question Christines loyalty in this game. I had an ally that I could trust 100%. She had that in me. We both were overall under the radar players, and probably aren’t the most desirable people to be sitting here. But honestly? That is big brother. I told Puff on day one to never forget that Big Brother is a much more under the radar game. The winners are generally less flashy, and I think in many ways, Christine and I both represent a sort of tent-pole big brother winner. So what is the single biggest reason I believe I deserve to win? I was willing to cut Jenn when my competitor was not. Everyone knows that moment when they are watching on TV: a group of people seem to give up on winning the game in favor of someone else’s goals. People criticized Spencer Bledsoe, Tasha Fox for not cutting Jeremy Collins. Woo for not cutting Tony. These moments are among some of the most frustrating events of my reality-TV watching career. The audience member is forced to sit there and think: Does this person even CARE about winning? And I think I showed that I did. I didn’t play a perfect game, but I think the single key to why I believe I deserve to win this game is that I really did try to do just that. I supported cutting my friends if they were a detriment to my long-term goals. Did I make mistakes? Fuck yea I did. But I believe I showed more of a desire to win. I was never ever ever okay with sitting at the end with Jenn. I told my competitor that. I said we can use her as a shield, and as a friend, but never as a long-term ally. In addition, I believe my moves were more premeditated, and had a aura of planning attached. Even if you disagree with my strategic choices, I at least made them on purpose and for some sort of purpose. I can back up my moves, and reference exactly what I was thinking in that moment. I do believe that is not always the case with Christine. Regardless, I showed I was willing to do what it took to move forward in a strong position. I hope you all respect that, at the very least. I really am passionate about the Large Social games, and I would adore if you guys would Go Ahead and Make My Millennium and crown me as the winner of this thing. I cried when I was given the ability to make my pitch to you guys here; it’s something that, while perhaps a tad sad, is a serious goal I have had for a long time. While this game had some rocky patches, I really was delighted to talk to you guys, participate in the super cool challenges, do torchwalks!!!!, and make a pitch for my chance to be Sole Houseguester. It is odd that a goofy set of games like this can mean so much to us, but I think the emotions are a testament to how special these things really are. Winning Big Brother has been a boyhood dream since I was 5 years old; and winning a large social queue game has been a dream for a long time (though, much shorter). Either way, I respect your decision and am just so grateful that I can be here. So how about one last D’ayo dance party to cap it all off. ![]() ![]() Edited by Beetlejuice, Jan 6 2017, 10:17:44 PM.
