Big Brother: Back to the Basics Finale!

[violet vova]

Congratulations to both Mags and Briq. You guys both played a great game really, and like everyone in the house some played better in different fields. Magnam in the beginning of the game you were a target by others in the house and to see how you adjusted and ended up being in the Final 2 really said a lot about your game. Briq, I also like the way you played the game. You knew mostly everything that was going around, and although you didn't win many competitions you did orchestrate behind the scenes while not drawing blood on your sword (that'd be a great GoT reference). 

Now people might overlook my game because I was laidback, but I really knew what was going on the whole time. I knew the behind the scenes and bloopers during the game. I was just mad lazy to actually talk about it really. If you disagree SMDRQ. It is a tough decision and an interesting one.

To Mags, it seemed like in the beginning it was like a doubles match in tennis (competition wise) with Alex, James, Phil, Mags and wild boy Cole. Then slowly came down to actually you and Phil playing ping pong during comps after James, Alex and Cole were voted out. You see I love competitions, and it was my downfall in Survivor. I received a lot of sass from the jurors saying that I only relied on competitions and idols. But I still believe that competitions are str8 up real and a great accolades in your resume, not only you played the game competition wise strong but you also played the social game really well and you held your own. +1

To Briqs, We both played a similar game and it might go underrated but you knew a lot behind the scenes that others didn't and that is why I feel you played the game socially really well while not depending on competitions because you knew you were safe. You were cool with everyone and like everyone you had a really big say in what went down. You knew what to say and how to play the game in the right situations as well RQ. +1

Both of you guys played a great game, and I really don't have a question but can ya'll just summarize what you guys did throughout the game so we can all have a even better understanding RQ.

Well right away I was asked to join SMDRQ by Mark I think, and I jumped at that opportunity because I figured I'd be a target right away if I wasn't in the majority alliance. I kinda expected it to be short lived at first, but after everyone started revealing their side alliances it seemed pretty legit. I wanted to win competitions for two reasons. One, I wanted to appear to be a strong ally so the alliance would keep me around (not sure if this worked, but I was nominated against alliance members twice and ended up getting the votes). And two, I wanted to make deals with people outside of my alliance so I wouldn't be targeted if we didn't win. This didn't work as well early on because the absolute worst case scenario ended up playing out with James being told I was gonna backdoor him, and going on to win POV and take Alex off the block. At that point, I had to put Phil up as a pawn, even though I pretty much told him he was safe that week and I wanted to work with him moving forward. Phil ends up winning the next HOH, I escape the block initially, but Kaitlyn wins POV and I end up on the block. I thought there was a pretty good chance that I was goner at this point, but the alliance decided to keep me against Mark for one reason or another (I'd like to think my social game and HOH win the previous week had something to do with it, but who the hell knows really). Then Alex wins HOH right after, who I put up on the block 2 weeks earlier, and I was up on the block once again. I definitely thought I was done at that point, but I didn't throw in the towel and Alex ended up agreeing to take me off.


In the early part of the game I formed a pretty close alliance with Jhon, which ended up lasting all the way through the game. This was very beneficial for me throughout the game because he seemed to have a pretty good grasp on what was going on in the game at all times. Whenever I was on the block, he was the main one keeping me posted on what everyone was saying/thinking. This eventually led to a Final 3 with myself, Jhon, and Cole, which was huge for me as well because Cole ended up winning an HOH and a POV shortly after we formed this alliance. I was skeptical about going all the way with this alliance because I knew Cole had other allies, so I wasn't sure how much I could trust him. I probably would've rolled with it anyway if it wasn't for the whole James thing (where Cole tried to start the four way alliance, and he went back to Briq and told him Cole's plan), and finding out about Phil's DPOV pretty much solidified my decision to turn on Cole. After turning on Cole, I tried to form an alliance with Phil on the basis that we were both the competitors in the house and everyone would want us out, and no one would expect it after we both put each other up. I tried to get a Final 3 with myself, Jhon, and Phil going, but this never really came to fruition. Phil did end up keeping his word and kept me off the block in his next HOH run, which was huge for me. At that point (I think it was Final 4?) I knew I was just 2-3 competition wins away from getting here and I had a real shot at it. I didn't count on that happening though, so after Phil evicted Jhon, I pretty much agreed to a Final 2 deal with everyone because I wanted to cover my bases. After winning the Final HOH's, I decided to bring Briq to the end with me because I feel like I played more aggressively than him and I worked harder to get myself here. I just feel like I played a more well rounded game than him from start to finish, whereas Phil won more comps than me, and played a very good social game in his own right.



Another thing I'd like to point out is, although I was a target early on, towards the middle/end of the game I was not really nominated much at all. I made alliances that helped me get through that portion of the game. Cole won HOH and POV and I wasn't (to my knowledge) an option to go up, Briq was. This was because of my Final 3 with Cole/Jhon. When Phil won HOH and POV a few weeks later, he put up Briq/Jhon. So while I may have started off being a big target by people outside of my alliance, by the end of the game I feel like I did a pretty good job of staying out of people's cross hairs, which wasn't easy because I already won a few comps by that point.

I know you and Briq are close, but I feel like you should vote for me because I faced more adversity than Briq from the start, and we both ended up in the same spot with me being the one to bring him here. You could argue that was my own doing, but I didn't have any pregame alliances or anything of that nature. My first ally in the game (Mark), was 3rd out. I still ended up making alliances/relationships that carried me through when I couldn't win a competition. sh*t, when I was up against you, I can't even explain to you why I was kept over you. But it was a unanimous vote in my favor. Whether they kept me because they thought I could win competitions for them (which was a reason why I wanted to win comps in the first place), I feel like my alliances and relationships had something to do with that. So although Briq played a good social game, I do not feel like this vote comes down to social game vs competitions. I feel like I played a great all around game to get myself here. 

I would go with Gorgeous tbh. Three great Kanye verses and an awesome Cudi hook. Tough decision though.

after Briq responds, Magnum and Briq please PM your closing statements to me and kenny. Once we post the closing statements, jurors can begin to cast their votes to win! Once we receive all of the votes we will post them and open up the thread for any game discussion you guys still have left.

Thanks dude and I’m glad you understand my game but I’m not sure if everyone else understands it so I’m going to explain everything.


So beginning of the game I had the SMDRQ alliance and I was also aligned with James, Lizzie and phil I think. So I was in a good positon because I was aligned with a good amount of people and not with too many people so it was fine. I then get a PM from Ricardo wanting to make a tonga-bremuda alliance and 2 things came to my mind immediately. 1) Never turn down an alliance and 2) I was afraid of Ricardo and Alex since they both played powerful games on their survivor season. SMDRQ wanted to win to the first HOH and vova volunteered and I was more than cool with that. Then, he reveals he wants to backdoor alex and I wasn’t cool with that, so I suggested Kaitlyn and SMDRQ said no and that we can use her for the first couple of rounds for votes. She was already talking with most of SMDRQ and even had a private PM with YM, Jhon and Mags. So she frightened me because she never contacted me and has talked with everyone on my alliance. Prior to this, she sent me into elimination on UCX and she also eliminated me, so I didn’t trust her at all. I know james wanted to win the first HOH and was willing to go after alex but I suggested Kaitlyn also and he was down. So I made sure James won the first comp by comparing answers and I told him don’t miss more than four because vova was going to miss four. So James wins HOH and everyone in my alliance was shocked except for me and he puts up Kaitlyn and Daquan. Kaitlyn wins veto and he replaces her with YM. Me and Vova told the bremuda-tonga alliance that we’ll give YM a sympathy vote because we’re “bois” but really it’s because I was covering my tracks. So when YM stayed I had no blood on my hands.



Week 2, Mags wins HOH and puts up Alex and Ricardo. I was afraid one of them will win veto and that James will get voted out so I come up with a plan with James when the veto ended up being a tie between alex, james and ricardo. The plan was to have alex and ricardo throw the comp to james so that james can save Alex and have a shot at saving ricardo giving us a chance to keep all alliance members. James wins veto and does what is plan. I go to the SMDRQ and tell mags lest put up Kaitlyn because shes already been up and we don’t want to put more targets on your back or put up Lizzie since shes a floater right now. He doesn’t want to put up Lizzie for some reason, (Probably because Jhon really wanted to use Lizzie as an ally) and he wants to put up phil. I knew this was a bad move because Phil is the FvF God and comp beast. You never use a comp beast as a pawn that’s a no no because he will more than likely make you pay. I didn’t tell mags this because I couldn’t care less and that he’ll learn from this mistake and what for you know, Phil wins next HOH. In hindsight it was actually good that phil was up because james was willing to vote out ricardo and I didnt have to stab him twice in the back two weeks in a row.



Week 3, Phil wins HOH and plans on targeting mags and YM but lots of people (SMDRQ) suggested Kaitlyn over Mags. So Kaitlyn wins POV again and I already saw it coming, Mags was put up as replacement nom. First week SMDRQ has to vote out an alliance member and we agreed on YM. I wanted YM to stay but I was talking a lot of game in the PMs recently and didn’t want to seem too pushy or a leader of some sort so I agreed. Sometimes in a social game you cant have everything go your way and you have to take a backseat in the alliance. Keeping mags over YM wasn’t a big deal since I was cool with both and jhon was extremely close with mags so if I wanted mags to do something I’ll get jhon to plant seeds in mags ear.



Week 4, Alex turns up and wins HOH and POV. He nominates Mags and alad which is not good for me. I cant have two alliance members out within a week from each other. So I tell mags to tell alex that if you use the POV, Mags HOH reign will allow alex to nom one person, wont nom alex and wont vote for him. Mags claims that he offered a similar deal without my help but the thing is, mags didn’t know that alex didn’t care who leaves between Kait and Mags. So me, cole, and vova were pushing for Kaitlyn to get put up and take off mags. If we wanted mags gone I think alex would have kept the noms the same but mags dodged a bullet and we back door Kaitlyn. Interesting thing before this HOH I wanted to see where kaits head was at because she was slaying comps and just in case if she won, I couldn’t have her put me up. She immediately offers me an alliance! So what do I do? I accept it and I did believe her and I think it would have been interesting to work with her and built a relationship but at this point I trusted Mags more than kait, so she had to go.



Lizzie Dies RIP




Week 5, Alad wins HOH and puts up Alex and Phil (and I win my first comp wooooooo!) So I don’t use the veto since I’m aligned with both but the interesting thing here was that I split my bets with veto and the 1st box. I knew that no one was going for the veto nor the 1 st box so I told phil to not bet for the 1st box… and he did. I then knew that phil was rogue in a sense that he kind of does whatever he wants unless if the majority wants something like when he switched his noms from Mags to Kaitlyn in week 3. I started to talk with phil a lot more in hopes of getting my trust with him. I was pissed because I was supposed to win the DPOV which would have been a game changer and I would have hit the nae nae to whoever I put up on the block. I had quite some power because vova got an extra vote and us + jhon is 4 votes already and we control a lot if we’re not put up. This week also was when Jhon notified that cole was ready to go to war. He wanted to split me and vova up, so I knew I had to take my chance when opportunity came.



Week 6, Cole wins the dadgum HOH and POV! Damn, its getting near to the end and now there is limited margin of error and when you have to do something you better take it and I think cole learned that in this game. He wanted to split me and vova and it would make sense to put both of us up, we haven’t won comps, vova cant use his extra vote and we haven’t been nominated. Great reasons to nominate someone. James tells me that cole spilled SMDRQ alliance and wants to take me and vova out. I tell everyone whats going on and cole really messed up. Jhon was considering cole and mags deal but he trusted me more and cole was all over the place. My connection with jhon convinced cole to put up james and phil… Are you kidding me!? The two biggest comp threats are up on the block? Phil is a pawn? Cole went from possibly making a big move to being a number one target within hours. Phil was promised he wouldn’t be a pawn, cole goes back on it. James was promised a final 2, cole nominates him as a target. After James and Cole argue on the thread, I tell cole, hey no worries, I understand lets look past this and work together. What I really meant was, I’m coming straight for you when you leas t expect it. I go from possibly being on the block to flipping the house on cole to making him the number one target.



Week 7, Phil wins HOH and puts up mags and alad. I mostly chill this week because theres not much to do after phil was certain that he didn’t want to put up cole. I believed Phil knew that if cole left he was next, so keeping up the feud was beneficial to him. I also figured out that jhon, phil and mags had a final 3 so it made sense why alad was on the block. Even without knowing this I would have still voted out alad because I needed someone to take down phil for me, so when Phil was cool with alad leaving I was shocked he was willing to waste an HOH on alad. Also this week I believe I struck a final 2 deal with Phil saying that I will even vote out vova for phil, dont know if he bought it but he said agreed with the F2



Week 8, Mags wins HOH and POV so cole and vova are on the block. Jhon informs me before the noms that mags is putting up vova and phil. I was pretty heated because heres my chance to take cole out and I got to do it now. Phil still had DPOV I believe, so we couldn’t vote him out and the target was vova. Vova a target? Whats the logic behind that? I tell jhon that cole has to go immediately and jhon finally agrees and tells magnum to put up cole instead of phil, and that happened. I go to cole before the POV and tell him that no one will suspect us working together and we should take it to the end and I’m willing to vote out vova. He immediately agrees and brings in jhon as our third ally. I only did this for 2 reasons, 1) If cole wins POV, I’ll have him attack phil for me and 2) if hes on the block he’ll be comfortable and wont campaign hard. So Jhon and I end up blindsiding cole and I was cool with this blindside because Jhon has bigger ties to cole and it would look worse on him than me since cole wanted me out awhile back. That’s why on the thread I wasn’t mentioned but mags and Jhon were put on blast by cole because he was betrayed by his closest allies. It was a bad social move by mags and jhon IMO



Week 9, Phil, to my surprise, nominates me and Jhon. I was a little worried because of the final 3 he had with mags. So when I was nominated I told him I understand why he put me up , I hope he trusts me and that we can still work together in this game and he agreed and said he’ll keep me here if he wins POV. My first problem with production comes in because I didn get to compete in the veto which is dumb as hell this late in the game. If I wasn’t on the block it would have been understandable but come on really? Anyway, he wins POV and I wasn’t sure if he would keep me but Phil seems pretty loyal and blindsiding me would not make sense and he keeps his word. My closest ally was voted out but it allowed to strike a final 2 deal with mags since me him and jhon had a F3 that I forgot to mention.


Week 10, Mags wins and I tell him to put me up so that phil may think that me and mags don’t have much going on. Mags says that he was going to put me up regardless but according to his F4 HOH speech, “since it doesn’t matter who is nominated it comes down to veto” (I’m paraphrasing phil, so don’t take it word for word) , nominating phil and vova shouldn’t be a big deal and it tells me there wasn’t much strategy to his noms. For me, I’m always thinking how can I spin someones actions against them, whether its noticeable or not as long as that thought creeps in its enough for me work off of. Basically, I was hoping Phil underestimated me and mags relationship. When Phil wins Veto, I tell him that look, I have a better shot at taking down mags than Vova does. So If I win, I’m taking you to the end. If vova goes to the final 3, its between you and mags and if mags wins you’re getting third. Essentially its 2 vs 1 and not 1 vs 1 so with me its with better odds. Don’t know what his ideology behind it was but he kept me over vova



Final HOH- I wasn’t going to go 10 hours but it was the second time in this game I got screwed by production. The site lagged for about 2 minutes and no one could post on the thread but somehow I got to post every minute while mags and phil missed 2 complete minutes. The rules were if you a miss a minute you’re out but apparently there were exceptions and kept the game going. I was so pissed that I was willing to stay up all damn night to get this win and I did. I technically beat mags and phil twice in one comp. Anyway after mags wins comp HOH pt 2, I message him like yooooo, we made it! Final 2 whooooo! He was like yeah thanks good luck in the next comp and I was like uuuhhhhhh you taking me to the end if you win right? And he said no. I had too many relationships and my social was really good and he didt think he could beat me so I told him that he had a shot and that we should honor our deal but he was adamant on taking Phil. So I knew I had to win this comp… aaand I lose. So I spend the next 2 hours trying to convince him into taking me. I knew it was working when he said he truly doesn’t know who to take so I was like I’m doing something right. Don’t know if this was the deciding factor but I think this what really hit home. I told him to name moves that I did in this game and I knew he couldn’t name much because my game is complex and very behind the scenes. Then I said I’ll name moves you and phil did because it was very easy to pin point their moves in the house. Mags only came with very few moves and I came up with a lot for both since it was out in the open. He finally agreed and took me to the Final 2. And that gentlemen is why social game will always trump physical game. I represented the social and Phil represented the physical and it was my social game what bought my ticket to the final two and not Phils comps it actually hindered his chances.

Stop b*tching about production

[Dewie890]

I dont really care that much but to defend myself and kenny on your "issues with production"

Issue #1: Not being here for the veto

- You were one of the first ones to vote for the time (or the 2 hour window) in which the competition was eventually held, then I asked the people who did not vote yet to confirm the time we went with. They did so.

- You were the only one to not be there on time even after we waited 15 minutes for check in, did you want me to prioritize your schedule over everyone else's who made the time to be there for a time they agreed to? If you had a problem with the time the whole time but I just went with the time (which I would never do this late in the game for a nominated player) you could call me out for it, I would say I was wrong.

Issue #2: Not being declared the winner for the live veto

-I was not here for this when it happened but I am told the site crashed for most people in a certain time window, including for yourself.

-You got a post in due to being in the right spot in the process of posting from what I read about it. You wanted Kenny to just say "hey briq got lucky and posted through a site crashing, sorry magnum you just wasted 8 hours of your life due to the site going down temporarily"? I think the problem with this is that you are not looking at it from magnum's point of view... put yourself in his place.. i feel like you would have gone ape sh*t if you were magnum.


In the end the only reason I am responding to this is because I still feel like we made the right calls in both instances, of course you are still entitled to your opinion in the matter. Our intention in both scenarios was to make the best decision for everyone involved, they were never intended as "ways to screw briqsquad"

I didnt mean to intend that I was getting screwed by production, I was just explaining things I had to overcome in this game. In my opening statement I gave you guys props and said you hosted a great game... Besides I wanted people to understand my gameplay not that I was b*tching about production, I forgot I even put that in there. We already discussed issue one and with issue two was basically my reasoning for staying up 10 hours that was all. If I hated production I would have never gave you guys props in the first place.

Oh and if stan is a part of production, you guys do lose some points in that department for even giving him the satisfaction of having power ...

Hey everyone, I hope you guys finally understood how I played BB and that there was a method to my gameplay. I truly hope you vote for the best player. If you think magnum played a better game so be it but I dont want to find out someone voted for magnum because I've won survivor or something. I put a lot of time into this game and if you think I played the best I hope I am rewarded with your vote. I believed I showed that as long as you're playing a strong strategic and social game its good enough to win this game. There are 3 components to this game and I excelled in 2 of them over my opponent, Magnum. Thanks for a great time everyone and I look forward to playing with you guys again.

This season of Big Brother without question takes the cake as the most f*cking stressful forum game I've been a part of. Just about every day I was paranoid, playing out scenarios, hating life, etc. It feels like this thing took forever too. But to be able to sit here at the Final 2 after all of that is pretty surreal to me. Again, I started out this game pretty rough, and there were a few instances where it looked like it was over for me. There was no way I was gonna quit though, because that's what I did last time on Survivor, and I found out after the fact I wasn't in as hopeless of a situation as I thought I was. I did everything I could and more to stay in the game, whether it'd be through winning competitions, making deals with HOH's, or forming long term alliances.







I also feel like I was able to adapt when things didn't go my way in the game. My closest ally early on was put up right next to me in week 3, and I was able to form a tighter alliance with Jhon to replace it. Like I mentioned earlier, I was on the block 3 times and not in one of the cases did I need to win POV. I managed to get myself off in other ways. When I found out about Phil's DPOV (which was after my HOH win), I had to quickly change up my strategy because I needed to send Dewie/Kenny my decision the next day. In those 24 hours, I was able to form an alliance with Phil, let Cole know why he had to go up and convince him he was safe, and tell Vova he was a pawn as well. And finally, with Jhon sent home I was able to quickly make other Final 2 deals to replace it.





There really isn't much else to say game wise. Ultimately, I feel like I did everything I could to put myself in a position to win this game. I played an all around game from start to finish. I stepped up and won competitions when I needed to, and I made the necessary social/strategic moves to prolong my stay throughout the game. Let Briq tell it, he convinced me what to eat for breakfast this morning. I think people that played the game with me know pretty well that I made my decisions on my own, and was pretty resolute in doing so. The bottom line is, every decision I made, I made from the point of view of how it could help MY game and my game only. Including the Final decision to bring Briq to the end with me.





Through all of this, I believe I would be a very worthy winner of this season of Big Brother and I hope the jury does too. It's been fun to be a part of this game with all of you and I'm sure we'll cross paths again at some point.

And there you have it jurors, you can now start to send in those votes! Depending on when we receive all of the votes, the winner will be announced tomorrow night or Tuesday night.

3/7 votes received, it will not be a unanimous winner.
