Chima will win the endurance part I am nearly positive.

Right. You would've been known as the backstabbing bitch you most definitely were. Let's flashback to the round I saved you from the block against Elissa. What were your words, Helen? "I am one of the most loyal people ever" .. whatever. "I will have your back, I've shown you that, Gina" .. mhm, okay. If anyone was a "victim of loyalty" it was me, because I could have left your ass up on the block. You, Ivette, and Chima were my ideal F4 and I would've more than likely tried to take out Chima at the F4, atleast giving you F3. I see right through your little innocent act, and I don't buy it for a hot second. It's rubbish and so was the way you handled the Fast Forward.

I would have appreciated leaving her up on the block.

[Gina Rio]

Chima's been on the board almost all day, assuming she's the invisible user. She wants it bad. She'll win this first part of the competition. I think Ivette can beat Elissa in the second part, but you never know. We'll see what happens!

[Eric Stein]

I'm obviously biased and rooting for Chima, however, one thing I didn't like about the way Ivette has played is that she only seemed interested in talking to me as more of a jury vote. She really seemed to only want to talk to me for that reason alone. Of course Ivette's a smart player but I wish she would've tried, with me, a little more.

RIP Ivette

[Helen Kim]

And Gina, look. I'm sorry, but you got played hardcore. Ivette and I were plotting your demise since aligning with you. She didn't agree on getting you out at F6 because of Eric and Chima both still being in the game but she got over it when Elissa won the F5 HoH. Yes, I lied to you, I kissed your ass, I bullshitted so much of our game talk but that doesn't change the fact that evicting you was hard. Of course I didn't want you knowing you were being blindsided until you couldn't do anything about it, because I know first hand how far begging and manipulation can get you in this game, but I also didn't want to tell you because I truthfully felt bad. I think you're such a great person to talk to and it sucks that we don't see eye to eye here. I know getting evicted sucks; everyone here can attest to that, but the way you went most certainly wasn't fun. This was a game that I thought I could win, but Ivette not using the PoV was definitely not in my plan and that's why I'm sitting here with you all. I am constantly trying to learn and change my strategies around because I still have never won an ORG, so yes I did make mistakes in this game, but evicting you wasn't one in my opinion. I hope this game doesn't taint our relationship because I would love to remain in contact with all of you here. I am truly sorry you left the way you did.

Hey guys I'm here. Thanks for fighting! It will give me something to read.

Now that I don't have to be in game mode, I can discuss things TOTALLY honestly. >:c)

[Will Kirby]

Well that was a fun game, huh?

[ivette]

Yeah, I honestly had a great time! On the whole, this is probably the ORG I view as the most positive experience. The final two played great games, the only people who made it personal on a serious irl level were pre-jurors, and nobody seems deeply wounded or like the events of the game carried in to their personal lives, so overall the game was fun.

I'd consider Gina, Helen, Chima and Elissa friends, and even though I didn't get to chat with the boys on the jury too personally, I think you're all great guys. The odds were stacked against you and you fought tooth and nail, and when the time came for you guys to be evicted, nobody threw a fit. I'm not blocking any screennames (except Nick duh, but that was done...I think. I don't think about him.)

[ivette]

Oh, and it was pretty apparent each time I spoke with Janelle that she had a simmering hatred of me, but I just don't think we see eye-to-eye on game matters. That's all!

[ivette]

Ok, while I'm commenting in small comment chains (forgive me! this is pretty much how I did my DR and I also have a lot of catching up to do on this forum) I think my biggest problem in part 2 of the hoh was that I kept using LAYLA as the password instead of POOPDECK. Stupid. Fucking. Moron.

I also think I would've been much better at that comp if I had planned it out ahead of time, aka known how to use proboards better, but that's the risk you run in every competition!

Now let's skewer these bitches.

[Helen Kim]

lol I thought Chima was my friend but every round she was either nominating me or throwing my name under the bus

[Gina Rio]

Okay, Helen. No shit? I was aware how threatening I came across to people, I always felt cautious after all my closest allies left early, but you still handled the Fast Forward all wrong. It doesn't change anything. Let it go. We've ended there.

[Gina Rio]

I'm sorry to see you here, Ivette! You know you would've had my vote 100% had you made it to the finals. You played a great game and I really wish you had made it to the end. I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you! /tyra

I just have this big issue with appearing "fake." You can ask Gina. I didn't congratulate her on her first HOH win because I had learned she was with Nick and I felt hurt because I kind of thought she was being fake and she was hurt because she felt like everything I had said or done was over because of it. But we moved past it and talked every day.

We were obviously on different sides of the house, Eric, so I was trying to avoid coming off the way it appears Helen did. Helen played a great social game, but it looks like you all turned against her because she showed just an inkling of strategy on occasion. She played the type of game that would've worked for her if she managed to get to the end making purely emotional decisions. As we know, Helen knew how to play the game, so being really close friends with everybody meant that somebody was going to be hurt.

There was obviously a lot of game involved in talking to you, Eric, at that moment you were about to leave, but it wasn't JUST to get your jury vote. It was because I thought we might be able to work together

Of course, the twist meant that it had to be you or Chima and I would be an instant-loser to do anything other than vote you out. If I worked with you in the f5 I probably would've gotten third place in this game, and that's not acceptable.
