LAST EDITED ON 09-20-11 AT 12:52 PM (EST)Let me begin by saying I have had the most wonderful time here in the Hamster House with all of you. A few of you I sorta knew before; others I really only got to know since entering the House. So, I say thank you to Cahaya Zenbot for giving me this place to meet more cyber friends.
Little did I know when I joined this game that some of you have such experience at these things! And that some of you are reality tv strategist experts. Now that I know you better, I'm paying more attention to your comments – especially in Survivor – and I realize you don't just watch these shows! Some of you live them!
On to my game play & my strategy.
I was the first to join the game a& as Michel said, he suggested we team up as the 1st in, last out alliance. Since I've never played this kind of game before, that was good for me. I did not know he had other alliances on the side; however, I did suspect he did. As long as he continued to assure me that I was #1, that was all that mattered. I gave my word to him; I expected nothing less from him. That's the way I am.
Then? I started getting alliance offers from several others. Zaazzy wanted me to team up with her & Corvis as an AI alliance. Then it's D'Abby who wants to team up. I hear nothing from Wayne, Suzzee or Kriss. But I wonder aloud in pms to Michel & Zazzy about how I should handle the multiple alliance proposals. I can't lie; not in my nature; so I beat around the bush with Zazzy, Corvis & D'Abby.
When I won first HoH, I was ecstatic! .Then, reality set in. I had to nominate 2 people; worry about the future repercussions and? worry about the veto.
I couldn't nom Corvis; he found the pics to make our siggies; and D'Abby made them so that made her safe. Michel suggests Wayne & Kriss as the unknowns. See? Even from the beginning, he was manipulating me. But don't think he pulled all the strings. Just as many other hamsters were making just as many friendy suggestions. The only difference was that Michel is the one I was saving all along, at every turn & choice I made. I was warned plenty of times to watch out for him. I could have joined with others at to backdoor him several times. But, I had given him my word; my word is my bond. Therefore, Michel was safe because I would not turn on him.
Now we are to the end and it's no longer in our hands. In a way, I felt like a cross between Jordan & Rachel. I played honestly and nice and was friends with everyone. I brought food & lots of entertainment and kept fun going in the threads even during times when others didn't have as much to say. I even had a few blonde moments when I had to ask the Bot for further explanation on some of the competitions. Then I became the Comp Queen like Rachel. How about that? Similarities to 2. count them TWO Big Brother winners!
So, what do you say, Jury?

more to come, keep going....
