Hey guys! Congrats on final two.

Don't have too much to say, really! I love you both in and out of this game, but this is kinda a runaway.

Zach, you've been my rock since early on in this game. As many people know, in games I typically find that one person that I trust 100% and beyond that anything is fairgame. I was never going to betray you and would've happily lost to you in the end if that's what would have happened. (It's not, I would've creamed you, but it's the thought that counts ) Our conversations were great almost every time and we could easily switch from lighthearted banter to serious strategic talk. I think that's one of the things I most look for in an ally - and in a winner. I want a representative of the season who really played the game. I want someone who was involved the whole time and who was relevant. I feel like your social skills and sound strategy got you to where you were, and you should be proud of that. Other people will say they wanted a more ~ big personality ~ winner, but  it is not likely to win while being loud and volatile for a large portion of the game. However, it is likely to win by playing smart, which you did. And it's not like you were a goat by any means.

Which brings us to Penny.

Penny, Penny, Penny. In your opening statement you thanked Michael for perpetuating the notion that you were a goat.

No, girl. His rant about you affected nothing. Literally every cast member considered you a goat. Your only options to win were against Jmac or Charlotte, and once they were gone, you were basically just helping to choose the winner. Yeah, it was a good move to nominate me, but it didn't gain you any ground in winning the game. Your gameplay for a large part of the season was to be the middle man and play both sides but we all know how transparent that was and no one respected it. It sucks, because you know I love you, but your showing here was absolutely disappointing. Thanks for helping my Zachary get to finals though, I really appreciate the opportunity to vote him a winner

So, as I was the most beautiful, important,  and relevant houseguest this season, my one question to you guys will be focused on that.

Please tell me why I am beautiful and important If you could list ten reasons, that would be great. If not, it's no big deal, I know I'm beautiful and important anyway!

Thanks guys

Quite frankly I'm insulted it was only an almost 

But thanks Aisha! I knew for a lot of the endgame that had we gone to finals together I would more than likely lose, yet I'm still not really sure if I would have had it in me to vote to evict you at any point. In probably the worst way possible it was almost a relief it happened while I had little to no control over it. 

I know I'm not a BIG personality but that's just me as a person really. Irl I've always come across as someone who is "nice" and that's generally all I get. I know in these games there can be a LOT of big personalities, a lot of which I even find myself having trouble interacting with. However, I try to be a counter for these personalities, acting as what a close friend of mine once called "a pillar of normalcy." I always find it helpful to have someone like that as a friend and as an ally, and that's what I strive for both in games and pretty much every day life.

But now to your question.

1. Even as a big personality I never once had an issue talking to you and conversations would be able to flow PRETTY easily. 
2. You have an extremely unique ability to make almost everyone you talk to feel super close to you. 
3. Kingdom Hearts fan, this requires no explanation.
4. You work like a million hours of jobs and still have time for this and school. 
5. Had you made it to the end, this song perfectly represents what your chances of winning would be:

(Get it, because you would have run away with the win. Also go Killers.)

6. You were nommed twice all game. Week 1 and the week you were evicted.
7. You are extremely strategic but mask it beautifully with your social game. 
8. You were honest and loyal to me, and there isn't much more a friend or ally can ask for. 
9. I literally cannot thank you and the universe enough for coming in 5th place instead of me 
10.

    I know I'm not going to sway your vote, but I think that one of the qualities that make your ability to rethink things from a different perspective, so I'm going to challenge you a little bit.

    I won the title of "Biggest Goat" during the Majority Rules HoH competition, and I embraced the title with many bleats of happiness. I think this helped to cement the impression that I was an ineffective or useless player, but I don't think that was the case at all. When I won that title, I only received five votes, one of which came from myself. Four out of fifteen is far from a majority. I also think it stands to show that of the nine jury statements posted in this board, just three had negative comments about my game. Now it may be true that all nine jurors hate me and have swallowed their vitriol in the name of professionalism, but I don't think that that is at all the case. You, Michael, and Zach may not have enjoyed the time you spent playing this game with me, and you may have talked about it a great deal in your alliance chat, but I think in doing so you may have lost sight of how the rest of the house perceived me. By no means did I play a perfect game, but I am certainly no Phillip Sheppard.

    I may not earn your vote, but hopefully my responses in this jury thread, and the confessionals when they are opened up later will prove that I at least deserve some respect.

oh babe you know I adore you that was never in question and I DO respect you! I've even said in the jury board how well you're answering your questions here. you've come from a slim chance in my mind to a fighting and valid contender for the vote. I never doubted you'd be able to articulate your game well in front of a jury though. when you need to be you're an excellent speaker, and your morals are insanely valuable to me.

I just think, overall, Zach put more into the game and was more closely aligned with me all along. im sorry I was harsh to you in my statement, you're an angel. good luck at the vote reveal!!
