See ya later bro!

Just want to let everyone know that me, Joner and Gabe knowing each other hasn't given us any advantage in this game.

I'm this far in this game because of me, and the game I've played. I've actually been trying to get Joner out for awhile now.

Christan I hope you don't give up, good luck man.

Way to last another week in a 2 v 1😂😂😂 your trash

Actually Bry and Gabe have had a F2 since this game began.... they have been in an alliance with Luci and Christian for those who didn't know. I know I am a threat in all but I can't believe I was lied to by A COWARD

[harmonyking1185]

That's honestly the stupidest thing I've heard. I was in an alliance with them, yes. But I'm the lowest on this totem pole, you all know it, and you know there's exactly a 0% chance of that changing. So that alliance doesn't matter. If I evicted Gabe, you'd take Bry to F2, regardless of whether or not you had an F2. It's not like we had one that you'd be going back on. And I never lied to you. I even told you I would consider voting you. I'm not the coward here for doing the best move I have in my situation.

[gabe]

hey jury vote me when i get to final 2

[jonerjukes]

I know I will!!!

[Brett]

Part 1 of the final HOH competition will begin at 2pm Eastern today. It will have many parts and be endurance-based, so time will not be as much of a factor as it usually is. The second and third parts of the competition along with the final eviction will occur tomorrow (Sunday) night, starting at 6pm Eastern time.

[harmonyking1185]

Bryson, Gabe, I think I know what I'm going to do with this, but I would like you both to pitch to me one last time why you believe I should take you to the Final 2 with me. Either PM me or post here, I don't care, but I do want to hear whatever you might have to say.

[harmonyking1185]

Well that was disappointing. I honestly wanted to hear why I should keep you, and you both didn't say a word. For a comp that was so crucial to all of our games, I would've hoped to hear at least something.

Bryson. I really wanted a Privates final two. My goal this whole game was to get US as far as possible and then fight my way to the top from there. But for me to take someone to F2, I have to either be mutually 100% loyal to them or I have to know I can beat them. You had no intention of being loyal to me, and I know you're tougher competition than Gabe in the finals.

Had I been in this position in final five, this wouldn't be happening. I wanted a Private final two. I wanted an even debate for the prize, and instead you tried to make it a 2v1 against me. I can't reward your loyalty if you didn't give it to me. So with a heavy heart, I cast my vote to evict you, Bryson.

[gabe]

ok jury im in the final 2, i am a dawg! i cant be stopped no one is on my level, i slid my way too the final 2, i won a veto when i needed too and talked my way out of getting evicted 3 times!!! and i talked my way out of a lot of things! i was in and out alliances, for strategic reasons only, i didn't have to win one HOH! this is also my very first time playing the BB online! and im in the Final 2 and every target i had ended up being out the game! i did everything i needed to do through a secret social game, i was very sneaky with everything, and im going against a player who played this game already!!!!! the rookie thats me wants this win bad! so there is no hard feelings! to all my speeches, i was trying to make things interesting and make me purposely look bad so anyone would think it was a good idea to bring to the Final 2! so vote me please!!! i feel i did everything i needed to do

[Brett]

Christian, feel free to make your initial speech as well.

Jury members, begin your questioning now. There is no set order to when you guys can ask questions, so do it whenever you have the time. The only thing we ask is that once you ask your question, please refrain from posting on this thread until after the winner is announced (we've had a good amount of controversy at this point in the game in the past and I'd like to limit that).

[harmonyking1185]

Hello jury! Nice to see you all again! First off, I want to start off by thanking Brett and Joe for an amazing game. This game was definitely interesting from start to finish and that couldn't have happened without our hosts rocking it. Now that that's done, I believe that you should vote for me to win because I played the strongest all around game here, especially over Gabe. Socially, I wasn't nominated until the Final 6, and I was never once a final nominee. Strategically, I worked my way to the end despite being the only person in the Final 7 who didn't have prior connections in the game, and was even able to flip Derek against the vets despite having them as easy allies if he had wanted. And physically, I won the most competitions in the game, with four HoHs and two PoVs under my belt for a total six wins.

My game started on Day 0. Even before the first HoH had started, I was starting to develop relationships with everyone. While some obviously weren't as close as others and never truly became allies, I got super close to Derek (Michael at the time) and Luci. This trio was formed and quickly added Bryson to our ranks, and that was the birth of the Private Eyes. While I did my fair share of lying and backstabbing through this game, my goal all the way until Bryson's reveal at final four was to get as many Privates as far as possible. I was 100% loyal to them as long as they were loyal to me, and that's ultimately the main thing that got me here.

The only time being loyal hurt me was Week 3, when I campaigned so hard for Luci to stay against Van. That was probably the weakest point of my game, as I easily could've made myself an enemy in Van from trying to hard to paint him as the villain. However, I bounced back from it and made sure I was tight with the remaining Privates, Derek and Bryson, so that I would be safe.

Each of my comp wins had a specific purpose, as well. I always had a plan whenever I had power and used it to my advantage. My first HoH, week 4, the intention was simple. I wanted to get out someone who I knew had reason to be against me, and I wanted to get the Bullet Club on my side as they both have strong histories in these games and could have demolished me had I been on both of their bad sides at once. By putting them up, I forced them into a spot where they had to align with me to be safe, which allowed me to reach my ultimate goal of backdooring Van. He was the target because I had campaigned so hard for him to leave week 3. Had he gotten another HoH, he could've easily used that as rationale to target me. The week was successful, Jake got the votes to stay, Van left and I formed the bonds with Bullet Club that I needed to have, proven by Codys HoH week 5.

The Double Eviction, like I said in the HoH Part 1, was the defining moment of my game in my eyes. My HoH win forced me to make a choice. I could either join the Bullet Club and put up Joner/Gabe, or stick with the Privates and put up Jake/Cody. I ultimately decided I couldn't take the risk of having two people as close as them in the game. I put them up knowing no matter what happened I would have Derek and Bryson on my side, meaning we had votes to evict one of them no matter what happened. This move hurt. I screwed over two people I was aligned to because it benefited me. I genuinely like both Cody and Jake, and you'll notice that's not past tense. Even though they were both pissed at me, it was completely understandable. I ruined their game. Anyone would be mad. I was upset at their reaction in the moment, but in hindsight I honestly would've done something similar in all likelihood.

I could talk more about my other moves but I feel most everything else is self explanatory. And while I have done a decent amount of lying, know that everything I say here is the truth. I welcome any questions you guys have and promise to answer them honestly. May the best man win

Also I would like to say here, I'm not sure where Gabes idea of me being a vet came from. Ive played one BB org in my life and it was an unorganized mess that I even linked you to. Hardly someone who's been playing for years like he claims lol. This was basically my first real game

[Fratomon]

I've got only one question for you, Christian.

Why Gabe?

Like, I know /why/ you picked him to take over Bryson, but I want to hear you tell me why, in your own words.

No one in Gabe's position has ever made the final two in the past few years of this game, and only one person like him has won the game before, and that's because the guy sitting next to him was someone the jury couldn't stand. I told everyone you were gonna win the game and was called salty, and even told by you that I have no idea how votes are going to fall. Well, now, I'm pretty sure I was right and do know.

So I just want to know: Why take the easy way out and bring Gabe instead of Bryson? Are you really sure that, with all you just laid claim to, you would have had a hard time beating Bryson?

[harmonyking1185]

When it comes down to it, I do believe I would've beaten Bryson. However, my game was very similar to his, seeing as it was mostly centered around the Private Eyes. My game is a lot harder to distinguish from Bryson's than it is to distinguish from Gabe's. Bryson could easily claim that he was using me to protect him, and I couldn't really dispute that. In addition, I know that I burned certain people badly when they left (namely Cody and Joner) and Bryson was able to play a part in the same evictions without the same anger resulting from it, which is a serious merit to his game.

I'm not going to lie and say it was 100% strategic to take Gabe over Bryson, though. From Dereks Eviction onward, Bryson was the person I had planned to take to F2 if I won the final HoH. But when it became clear he would never take me, I saw no reason to keep that promise to him. In my mind, if I don't have any obligation to take the bigger threat of the two to the finals, then there's no reason to do it.

[gabe]

im just saying, don't vote christian he played a basic boring game like anyone would. dont be badic
