Let's BOOGie

I really don't feel like talking much since this really isn't the f2 I wanted to see but oh well. First though, I am not bitter. Second, congrats on making it to the end. It will probably be the most #shocking finish ever!!!


First, Joey. I mean where do I start? You're a sweetheart but you literally did nothing to deserve this runners-up spot. You were just this old potato at the bottom of the bag with some weird veins and shit on it that no one wanted to throw away (to jury) and just kept you around until there was nothing left. Your lack of participation in this game was hard to watch. Any of us would kill to still be in the game and fight for the chance to win and you've wasted enough of everyones time throughout this game as I'm sure the hosts were constantly waiting until the deadline (& beyond) for you to maybe do a competition. I get that real life comes first so my only question to you is, was there ever a time you thought about quitting since you clearly weren't giving even the minimum amount of effort needed for this game? Why or why not?


Skye, congrats. I can't really be bitter at you since you got out Candice the round later. Would you have done this without my push? who knows. Don't really care to know. My question for you is what is one thing in this game you really flopped at?

Hey, Boog. Thank you for the congratulations. Honestly, a little bit of what happened that round did play into my role of taking another look at Candice. However, it was more so when Russell left that I shifted my want of taking Candice to the F2. Before that point, I was going to 100% go with her to the finish. Russell and my conversation as he was leaving the house is what sort of opened my eyes, and made me wonder if I would really have a chance against Candice in the finals. My strategy coming into the game at the beginning was to throw competitions, not get any blood on my hands. Candice became the person that won the competitions and got a majority of the blood on her hands. This in turn, sort of backfired, because it gave the Jury members the perception that she was the only one playing the game, and I was just her sidekick/puppet. To me, that wasn't the case at all, but I understood why people seemed to think it was that way. I decided that I couldn't keep playing it safe and I was going to have to go hard and change that perception. I then went on to win the competitions that I needed to win in order to take out my biggest competition, my main alliance, my allies: you, Candice, and Casey.

I do think that the deciding factor, however, was when you mentioned that Candice had F2's with both you and Casey aswell. I still wouldn't have backdoored her that week, as I was relying on her to win the end game competitions, if I couldn't. I believed that I was her #1 over you and Casey, but you telling me this, did have me question what her motives were. It confirmed that she was here, she was playing hard, and she really wanted this victory. But not only that, also that she'd make deals with whoever and do whatever to get to the end. When Casey won the Power of Veto and put both Candice and myself up [our first time each being nominated the entire season; F4] I knew I had to win the Power of Veto, or that Candice had to win it. I knew that if I was going to win, I was going to have to make the hard decision in evicting her, when I actually wanted to do it at the F3. I wanted to honor my friendship and alliance with Candice as far as I possibly could, but with Casey winning, that meant that it had to be at the F4. Had she won, I think she would have kept me and evicted Joey at F4, which was why I didn't backdoor her at F5. She was my back-up in the competitions.

One thing in this game that I really flopped at was my inability to separate game feelings from personal feelings. For those in Housecalls that know me, this was probably the first time they've ever seen this side of me. I really did struggle. In the past, when I've played, I've been pretty cutthroat and would always be able to slice and dice all my threats without even a moment's hesitation. Something about this time around was different, though. I felt like I really did bond with some of you in the game and it made these crucial decisions harder than they should have been; afterall, it's a game. Aside from that, the other thing that I felt I flopped at was my strategy at the start. I mean, throwing competitions was great and it allowed me to stay in the good graces of the house early on, but it began to detoriate how I was perceived in the long term. That wasn't good! With the puppet accusation from you and the other comments from players like Russell and Gary, it really showed me that you shouldn't stifle your true ability in games for a long period of time.

Awesome. Thanks Skye & good luck!

No I didn't want to quit but I also didn't ask to be dragged to the end. Y'all have made our point I should have quit I get it.
