Well I guess I better begin writing this opening statements. Hello friendly jurors and hello to the no-so-friendly ones. Let me begin by posting the first sentence I wrote in my confessional at the beginning of this game.
This was basically my main goal in this whole game once the cast was revealed to me. Why? Coming in here, I knew I'd have problems with alliances. I had already played games previously with Janelle, Jessica, Chelsia and Joshua. I also knew other players through hosting games: Drew, Nicole, Jen and Jason. Additonally, Amanda knew of me from a site we both visit. Some may think of this as a dream come true but in reality it wasn't. If one juror understands how hard it is to have multiple relationships it is Jessica, she also came in with many pre-existing relationships and had to juggle alliances like I did. So in the beginning I thought I was royally screwed. Not only did I have to juggle multiple alliances for weeks but I had to lie to each person in order to keep my allegiances intact. Because as I had predicted, each of them approached me for some type of alliance or deal (save Jen). By the end of week 1 I had alliances with half the cast of this game and this number increased as the weeks wore on.
How did I keep it all intact? I lied constantly to each person I was alligned with by giving them the information they needed but not too much in order to keep myself safe. Once an ally became more of a liability (Nicole, Dave) I made sure to work with other alliances to secure my position in the game. I made sure to let others know Joshuah had a volatile personality, I made sure to tell Dave and Janelle that Nicole was after them, all the while continuing my alliance with her. I basically spun lies in the hopes of not getting caught and I never did.
So here we are now at the final 2, I wanted to begin first by revealing a little bit of my game. I do hope the jury takes the time to actually ask me more of the work I did in this game because a lot of it was in the background away from prying eyes like I wanted it.
I want to end this opening statement with the following: Some of you may be angry or bitter about how you were evicted from this game and I understand your frustrations but you are now on the jury and must decide who played the better game overall. After all the arguments have been laid, I hope each of you can put yourself in my shoes and see the game from my eyes and from Jason's eyes before you make your decision. I know I pissed a lot of people off, but I had to. It was in the cards once this game began; however, I am proud of the way I played. I think I am deserving of the title of Big Brother Warzone Winner and I hope that in answering your jury questions some of you will think so as well.
Thank you for your time and good luck to Jason!
"I called this episode Whorezone because basically I am an alliance whore. My strategy in this game is to make alliances left and right and to stab anyone to get to the win. I will step over anyone to get to the end. I'll lie, cheat and steal and push everyone out of my way *pushes walker away from grandmother*. I AM the winner!
