Jackie's Swan Song

[Queen Elsa]

Congratulations Bitches, you made it here but the battle doesn't end yet.    

Oh and Hello, 

(It came upon a midnight grave, that I arose from the ashes that was the pre jury)

Well, well, well, what do we have here? It seems to be Zach, who was the sly guy-- yes you are the sly not the nice guy.  You were sneaky, manipulative and competitive.  You were right when you called yourself a very rounded player.  You were able to adapt to any situation, i.e. the sinking frozen alliance (P.S that was your guys fault it sunk but you able to get off it when you sunk your own ship). Anyways, I don’t have much to address you but applaud you for doing all of those very well without looking like a threat till like you said, the very end when it was too late to get you out. Obviously, it wasn’t a perfect game but it was decent enough. 

Next we have Penny. I don’t know what to say that my fellow jurors haven’t; oh I know, a word of advice, 

And if you start trash talking me for that, you can stop reading right now; this isn’t about my game play, it’s about yours. I want to be fair and give you a chance at my vote, I think it’s only fair if I come into the finale with an open mind so you can be fair and not be negative with me.  

Moving on, Social game: Oh dear, what social game did you have? You were one of the few that were so painfully to talk to, a lot of people called you inactive.  It was painful to talk game or anything with you because I felt like I was doing all the pushing for a conversation. Yes, I did like you but talking to you bored me out of my mind. I'll admit that, I like you at the beginning before the first HOH competition, you were good there but then I thought you started to fall.   Next, Strategic game: Being UTR borderline of being a goat, okay, great game there! It certainly worked since it got you to the end. Honestly, I think you started to play the game too late and it could cost you. You were irrelevant for the majority of the game. Physical game: Okay, I give you this one. If you like to respond to this, please do. Prove to me to that I’m wrong, butter me up.  

Now for the two of you because I want you both to fight it out I’m giving you a few questions to do. 

1. I want to know how was I valuable to your game? 

2. Physical game aside, I want to see how well do you know the jurors (Bonus: Godfrey), please list ONE thing you have learned about us, personally.   

3. And lastly, what was the turning point of the game for you?


Good luck guys and, 

[Zach]

Hey Jackie!

I’m weirdly happy that you recognized me as the “sly guy” versus just “nice guy” lol. Like yeah I always did my best to BE nice and avoided being sketchy whenever possible, but I was always thinking in this game and I always did what benefited me.

But anyway, to your questions.

1. You were invaluable to my game because you are the reason why the Frozen 5 alliance was even created. I’m not 100% certain that I WOULDN’T have worked with Aisha, Michael, and Vanessa all together BECAUSE of you, but you were a huge reason why it was so easy to do. You were also more of a target at the beginning of the game and Pilar chose to nom you over me even though I lied to her that round about the existence of an alliance. I’m assuming she saw you as the bigger threat so she decided to put you up to eventually be evicted.

2. Now ok lol, this is going to be a BIT difficult only because its been SOOO long since I have talked to a lot of you, but I am certainly going to try my best.

Jackie – I thought it was cute af that you used to tape record yourself back when those were a thing to play back and hear the sound of your voice. 

Adam – Job wise he works part time in a convenience store and he took the semester off from school and being an accounting major.

Vanessa – has been through a LOT of stuff in her life and has had some incredible life experiences. Loves Mexico, has a house and helps out a vet there.

J-Mac – a fellow football fan (even though it’s of the Patriots 

 ). 

Charlotte – went to school during an awful blizzard just to find out it was canceled for the day. At least she got the day off!

Godfrey – Fellow Civ 5 player (where one day we will play together, it’s gonna happen). 

Pilar – PRETTY big fan of Beyonce and most types of R&B music. 

Aisha – Giant Kesha fan and we share similar taste in music like Florence + the Machine. 

Kevin – DIFFERENT kind of football fan (the one with actual feet variety). One of our first convos was talking about the world cup and the various leagues and stuff. I’m honestly not sure why we didn’t talk about it more………

Michael – Has misconceptions that Kanye West is the greatest artist of all time   (but he likes Taylor Swift too so there is a redeeming quality). 

3. The turning point of this game for me was honestly winning the veto at F10. From that moment forward my mindset had been a lot different and I was way more alert (because I was just nommed for the first time and could have easily been eliminated). Vanessa was the last member of the Frozen 5 to be evicted until F5 when Aisha was voted out by Michael. Her going allowed us to find a path to get as far into the game together as possible. That moment also put me in the mindset to succeed later in the game at the times I desperately needed to (like the final 2 HoHs), because that was the first time I competed in a challenge I NEEDED to win, and I did. 

If you have anything else just lmk!

I gave you CPM. Figured you were def CP but I feel like you would get a combo of positive and negative SPV hence the M. 

I have the whole chart posted in my DR. I DON'T THINK I'd mind posting the whole thing if some wanted. Hell eff it lol.

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Iv5wDykuEYF-4_AX85INbIW-p0U_GkcWDlDN60q5cw/edit?usp=sharing

So that is the google doc where I took notes of every single comp, each person's challenge placement, and also the overall edgic I assigned to them. I put it on view only mode so feel free to give it a look. Obviously without access to confessionals its tough but I did my best to make assumptions when I found them appropriate. 

Obviously if you have any questions again lmk, I didn't really add a key or anything because it was for my own reference.

1. To answer your first question, Jackie, I think you were actually incredibly valuable to my game. You were at the heart of the formation of the Frozen Five, and one of the people who, in going to Pilar, tipped her off to its existence. It was your lobbying of Pilar to nominate me that caused her to wise up to what was going on, and to form the counter-alliance against you. My early game rested on the fact that if I kept myself out of big early power blocs, I could become someone who would be utilized as a response to said power bloc. You provided the bogeyman alliance that allowed my value in the game to players who wished to start making some big moves skyrocket. Had you not risen to power within the Frozen Five only to find yourself fallen from grace, I probably would have been evicted very early.

2.  

Jackie - It saddens me to hear that you thought my social game was as tragic as it was, because you were actually one of the most pleasant people for me to talk to in the early game. I distinctly remember talking to you about how you worked with kids and tried to walk to and from work each day to stay fit.

Adam - One of the cool things about the connection I had with Adam in the early game is that we were able to have a solid conversation just trading jokes or puns, without talking about anything in particular. I learned lots of little things about Adam throughout speaking with him, things like that he started going back to the gym early on in the game, that he hates math, and that he has a dog. I couldn't tell you his life story, but hey, that's the nature of playing an alias game.

Vanessa - Vanessa told me that she had recently experienced a head injury that made memory challenges a real hassle for her. She also fell ill, unrelated to the injury, early on the game, which made it a struggle for her to be online and active, but she still tried to overcome it (I think she did a fine job!)

Johnny - Johnny has one of the most diverse sets of interest I've ever encountered in an ORG. Not only does he play ORGs, but he's really into sports, including MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He is also a Disney expert and can dig some 80s music, like Aerosmith and Phil Collins.

Charlotte - Charlotte is British IRL. She taught me some slang used in Britain that I had never heard from before (the words "mortalized" and "chin wag"). She also really likes Adele (which should probably apply to everyone here, but I didn't talk about Adele with anyone in this cast other than Charlotte).

Pilar - Pilar and I are both world-class procrastinators. When we weren't talking about game, we spent a lot of time complaining about looming paper deadlines we hadn't started yet, or other homework we were having to do while playing the game.

Aisha - Aisha thinks that BB Canada is the best form of BB. She sent me some vines or other funny meme-esque Internet content, and we talked about how she was trying to adopt a bird.

Kevin - Kevin talked me into really wanting to go see "The Martian." He saw it during the game and enjoyed it a lot, and one of my regrets from this semester is that I haven't had time to go see it!

Michael - Other than Michael's obvious love of Kanye West, we bonded over trying to portray Team Australia as high school archetypes. He also made a similar mistake to me during Part I of the final HoH, almost accidently posting a link he was sharing with a friend instead of the picture he was supposed to post on repeat.

3.  The turning point of the game was definitely the week that Adam left. Seeing the vote tie 4-4 between Adam and Charlotte, and seeing that I had received no votes for eviction proved that everyone in the house wanted me to continue into the next week. I had put myself in a position where I was safe from the crossfire of the two alliances - a clear display of having some sort of clout with everyone, and a vote that gave me the power of the tiebreaker vote.

Thank you Penny! Good luck!
