Thank you everyone for your questions. I’ll try and keep my Closing Statements concise, as you must all be tired of the essay responses to your questions.
I have done my best to reveal details of my gameplay and my thoughts through my Opening Statements and in my answers to all of your questions. I have answered truthfully, bluntly and have demonstrated consistency in all of my answers. I have lain all my strategy out in front of all of you. And I think I’ve made a pretty good case as to why I should get your vote.
I am a fighter, I never give up, I never lose faith, and I’m unfailingly optimistic. My fighting spirit was demonstrated by being able to escape eviction four different times, not including Michael’s decision to keep me in the Final 3. I balanced honesty with deceit, strength with weakness, and strategy with luck. I have shown relentless tenacity since being nominated in the very first week, and I’m still fighting to this minute. I came into the jury questioning as the clear underdog with a whole lot to prove to everyone. It was a little bit daunting but I feel like I have done a great job of defending my game and providing some insight to all of you. I am hoping that my detailed and thoughtful answers will make your decision a little bit more difficult.
If there was one assumption that I was definitely wrong about, it was the presumption that I would be facing a maliciously vindictive jury. This was not the case at all, and for that I thank you guys so much. You were all a wonderful group of players to compete with, and I mean it. I don’t take ANYTHING for granted in the game of Big Brother. I came into this game knowing I’d be up against 13 tough competitors, and I was. I have used every ounce of strategy that I’ve had to survive and make it here, but I did it and I feel like I did a good job. Now it’s up to you, the jury, to decide if I’ve ultimately succeeded or not.
Michael, whoever wins, I’ve told you so many times before that I’m happy it was the two of us in the finals. If I do lose, I'll be happy that it's to you – and if I do, then I’ll be the only one in Host Alex’s series to get 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and I think that’s a pretty neat statistic. I really hope you didn’t take anything personally from my answers to the jurors’ questions.
Thank you all and good luck with your decision!
