Tahan's Time

[Tahan Lew]

Oh hai. I've been waiting a long time for this moment! I'm the first juror after all. Long gone but never forgotten. <3

Joey. Hey girl, I'm Tahan. Nice to meet you. I don't wanna be a bitch, but you were kinda useless. It was pretty awkward that people like myself and a couple of others got nominated for not being social enough or whatever, because I felt I was around far more than you ever were. I don't think our conversations ever went beyond "Hi. How are you? Good thanks" it was just frustrating ugh! That being said, I'm content being first juror than being dragged to the end for an easy win. When I nominated you back in round two, you said you had a family issue. I sympathise towards that, don't get me wrong, but you should've just quit rather than be in this situation. Did you even tell the hosts that you weren't able to compete in the challenges? Because it's rude if you just did them as you pleased. There are a lot of people on the jury, myself included, who really want to be in your position and it's pretty much a running joke every week about your lack of investment in the game. Real life takes priority though and I'd never suggest otherwise, I really hope everything's okay for you with your family situation and your job. But I have to vote for a winner here, I hope you understand that. Wanna defend yourself and silence your critics? I'm willing to hear it and let you blow me away. Tell me how you played better than Skye! I'd be surprised if you can convince me or anyone at this point, but give it your best shot.

Skye. Okay, I think you assume you have this game won at this point, and you're probably right. That being said, if I were to hold one person solely responsible for my eviction, it would be you! I really liked you and thought we had something special between us. I'm glad you acknowledge that in your opening statement and it wasn't just in my own mind. I know I wasn't exactly the most social in the house, so I do hold myself responsible for clearly not playing a stellar game by any means. But that round, I had Greg and Russell (let's pretend he didn't forget to vote) on my side, you were in a position where you could've tied it, and Calum would've sided with me too, if it came down to it. I appreciate the message you sent me explaining your decision, I meant it when I said I was okay with it, I'm not bitter! But idk, now after all this time, is there anything else you have to say about it? Did you see me as a comp threat because I nearly stole the POV from you? Was Boog in an alliance with you? I just wanna know the full story. Also, this was my first ever Big Brother game. I know that people often lie and say they're inexperienced and all that, to seem less of a threat, but I was honest when I told people that! I wanna know from you, what advice you'd give to someone like me, who clearly didn't play a great game, so I can improve on it next time. I wanna learn from the best, and in this game, that was you.

Good luck to both of you. xoxo Tahan.

Tahan! Ugh. I completely get why you hold me responsible for your eviction, because it was me in the swinging position that week. I knew that I was between two sides of the house, but that is the position I wanted to be in. As I said in my opener, my main goal was to try and come across like everyone's best friend. This did backfire in some areas of my game, like here. I had to show my cards. One of the reasons I voted to evict you, was because I was loyal to my official alliance. My alliance with Boog, Candice, and Casey came first and you were the target for the week. Another reason that played into me evicting you had to deal with Greg. I actually really liked both you and Greg and said a few times that had this game started out differently, I would've loved making an alliance with the pair of you and doing some Aussie domination. However, that's not how it went. D; Greg was my #2 as I've mentioned in Candice's answers. I knew that Greg was really close to you, and it made sense to me to just go along with my alliance and also vote you out, because it would cut off an ally for Greg and push him even closer to me. It's so selfish, but I was trying to secure everyone I could and prevent them from wandering elsewhere. I didn't want to go against my alliance's wishes that early, because as we know, Boog, Candice, and Casey were all super strong competitors too, and I was just one person. It would've been hard for me to navigate to the end after turning on them.

In addition, I didn't want to give Calum what he wanted. Calum had spread in the house the fear of their being an all girl's alliance, which I had heard from Casey. You had told me that Calum would've been happy if you stayed/wanted you to stay, and I recall him saying something similar to me. I figured that if you had stayed, you would've felt in debt to Calum and could have been a number to whatever crusade he would've led against myself, Candice, and possibly my alliance if he found out that Casey was involved in it too.

I felt like you played solid in your first Big Brother game, tbh! I enjoyed talking to you and it's clear that some of the others did too, like Greg. I think games can be pretty hard for international players, as you live in a different timezone than a majority of the ORG world. However, I wouldn't ever let that discourage you. It's still possible to be a social force and make your way to the end. To me, the most important aspect of the game is the social scene. In those first to three initial days of the game, you need to be on top of everything. Cut your sleep schedule in half and be dedicated! Initate chats and don't wait for people to come to you. People want to feel like they're wanted, so if you message them first and give off your bubbly personality, people will think, "hey, I like this girl, she's relatively easy to talk to!" At the start of the game is where first impressions are made or broken. If you start off wrong, it's unlikely you can recover. I think you showed great challenge prowess and you could do really well your next time playing. I wish you all the luck in it!

Thanks, Skye. <3

Just waiting on Joey!

[Joey]

Tbh you were hard to talk to. I addressed the quitting thing in my answer to Casey. You're not going to vote for me, we never connected. I'm not going to waste my breath.

[Tahan Lew]

Lol okay.

I know I didn't play a great game either btw, that's why I went out early.

Glad we were able to talk in this thread more than we did in the game though.

Putting my vote in now.
