Boogie's Questions

[Mike Malin]

Congratulations Jessie and Kristen!

You two both were in what I thought was my alliance. I am glad to see you make it to the end.

Jessie.....you never talked to me in this game unless I spoke first. Basically, your social game sucked, but you still rocked the challenges. Tell me....why did you choose to not be social, even though you knew that your final 2 partner, Kristen, was the most social player of all? Didn't you think this was going to hurt you in the end?

Kristen....you are a great social player, a great strategic player, and a great competitor. Basically, you are the entire package....Here is my question: List, in order, each vote, and tell how you played a hand in every vote that took place in this game. I know it was you who pretty much told everyone what to do.......so I want to hear it. What was your master plan each round and did this game end up the way you wanted it to, with the person you wanted next to you in the final 2?

To both of you......If you didn't have each other, what would you do? I want you to each name one jury member that you think would have been the easiest to beat in the final 2, and the one jury member that you think would have been the hardest to beat in the final 2.

Congratulations again, you are both very deserving of being in the final 2.

[Kristen Bitting]

Thank-you Boogie. I am glad to see that you bear no hard feelings toward Jessie and I because you were indeed in an alliance with us and you got the dirty end of the stick.

Eviction 1- Britanny

This was an easy one. Originally Mike D was scheduled to go but he took part in the POV and looked like he deserved a chance to stay. Also although I wasn't HOH that week I was working hard behind the scene to ensure that a girl left with all the votes. I wanted to dispell the myth about an all girl alliance right off the bat. Amy was on board at first but right before the vote she decided she wanted to keep Britanny and asked me to do the same. I explained to her that any votes cast to save Britanny would not help us dispell the rumor about the girls club so it had to be a clean sweep.

Eviction 2- Diane

I was HOH and I wanted to ensure another female left that week. This girls club had to be quashed and I didnt want Amy or Alison to leave so Kathy and Diane were my choices. Kathy had been a major pain-in-the-ass and seemed to have it out for Amy and myself so I would have been fine with her leaving but Amy was certain that either Alison or Diane was behind the Kathy blow-up and she was obsessing about getting them out too. Personally I didnt think Alison was behind it because Jessie told me Alison wanted Kathy nominated week 1. Hence suspicion fell into Diane. I had reservations about Diane and the way she handled Jessie's HOH and the POV win that week so I decided to placate Amy and have the final nominees be her two big enemies. Diane seemed to have some support in the house and I didnt want to risk her winning another POV so I told Amy it had to be kept very quiet and I would BD her IF the POV was in our control. When Jessie won the POV we decided to go through with it. All votes were in place and it was a go when again at the last minute Amy came to me with her desire to change her vote.
I was mega pissed because up until that point I had no real problem with Diane but after putting her up to appease Amy and garnering all the necessary votes I wasnt going to go back and tell everyone it was off. Lane was Amy's close ally at the time and his ass was on the line, and so was mine if Diane had stayed so I told Amy it was too late. I remember telling her that plane took off when I nominated her and it is not turning back. Amy had changed her mind because Kathy wouldnt take her deal for safety...and Diane would. The only problem is Diane had been making promises with everyone to stay and she couldnt possibly keep them so I did not give in. Amy told me she had Dianes word that Diane would not nominate either of us if she stayed and she would get all her allies to promise us the same thing. Thats a promise I knew she couldnt keep. I knew Kathy was after me but she was about to self-destruct and Diane staying was a ticking time bomb so I stuck to my guns and she left.

Eviction -3 Lane

Casey won this HOH and if I remember correctly I wasn't too keen on Lane leaving. I was hoping to get rid of Kathy finally but Casey was the 2nd person to tell me that I had to watch out for Alison. Jessie had already told me the same thing so I was getting a bit concerned and I wanted Kathy vs Alison at that point so I was shocked when Casey said he was going for Lane. The reason I was shocked is because Lane and Casey were supposed to be aligned with Amy and I ( from her alliance week 1) I was not thrilled with this one but Casey was HOH and I went along with him because it didnt really matter to me that much and Casey had his mind made up. He had good reasons that I couldnt argue with like the fact that Lane was making alliances with other people. I knew he was talking about too much stuff with people outside our alliance and he had recently sent me a PM telling me that he would nominate Amy if he won that week. Since they were good friends outside the game and allies inside the game I was concerned as to whether or not I could trust him in the long run. I was also made aware of his Brigade plan and that was a concern.

Eviction 4- Brendon

Well we all know Brendon walked that week but Jessie and I discussed the nominations and decided it was his time to go. Brendon had been kept in the dark about the BD Diane plan and we figured he probably harbored some resentment. I was still talking to him and he seemed ok with me but too many of the people that I was close with were on his radar so I was amenable to his leaving and refused to use the POV on him. I actually liked the guy more than most people did but he was always trying to suggest what I should do and it was a bit annoying. I mean he asked me to hit people in the HOH comp and he tried to suggest who I should nominate etc. This was pretty odd since we never discussed being allies.

Eviction-5 Mike D

Casey was HOH again and although he discussed his noms with me he wasn't really open to suggestion . Casey and I were still very tightly alligned but he had his own agenda and I supported him with it even though my preference would have been that he nominate Alison (since he and several other people kept telling me she was after me). I really liked Hayden and I didnt want him to leave that week and I was relieved that the house seemed to agree that MikeDs time had run out.

Evcition -6

Enzo was HOH. Yes my pussycat and I discussed his noms and he told me he was nominating Boogie in hopes of flushing the coup. That was fine by me since I knew Boogie was safe and Enzo was HOH so he couldnt be hurt by the coup. Enzo put Amy up originally but decided to remove her and place Alison up in hopes that if Boogie did play the Coup he would not save her and she would leave. Finally someone came to my rescue and recognized Alison was a threat to my staying. Too bad it didnt work..but thank-you for trying.

This is where it gets a bit messy. I had been working with Casey since Amy brought us together week 1. Honestly I had no intention of working with him or anyone else in her allaince of 5 but when I spoke to Casey I was impressed and had I not already had 2 Final 2's ( Amy and Jessie) he would have been my first choice. However I did have a F2 with Jessie that I was bound to honor and then there was the one with Amy that I was never very certain of. I had tried to bring Casey over to the alliance with Boogie and Jessie but Casey was attached to Amy and he had made it clear to me that Jessie was not in his ideal Final 6. I believed Casey would have taken me to F2 but I was playing with the goal of not just getting to the end..but getting to the end with Jessie . Casey was one of the strongest, arguably the strongest player in the game at that point so the fact that he was not interested in working with Jessie was worriesome. Casey had also become very close to Enzo and I saw that duo as being akin to an atom bomb if left in tact so I went to Boogie and told him I was no longer worried about Alison and that he should use the coup on a really big player. We discussed the votes and whether we had them and I said that I the only way he could ensure Casey leaving was to have either Amy or myself up beside him. I didnt want to have to vote him out myself, and I knew Amy would only vote him out if I was beside him so reluctantly Boogie put me up too. It took a lot of talking to convince him I was safe. In fact I think it was right up until the very last minute before Boogie agreed to it. I was able to convince myself to do it by re-reading IMs where Casey told me he was going to pit Enzo and Jessie against each other so we could just sit back and walk to the end. I recognized Casey as one of the most competitive and strategic players I had ever met and as much as I liked him I had to protect Jessie..and even Enzo somewhat because it was at this point I was becoming very invested in him too. Another reason I was concerned about Casey staying longer was his attachment to Amy and the fact that at one point he told me that he wouldnt mind seeing her win the game. I was also a little worried because he came right out and told me for the first time that I was his final 2 choice. Before that we had been working together but as much as I would have liked a F2 with him I already had one F2 too many. This was the first time in the game that I felt badly about something...but it was not the last.

Eviction -7 Alison

This is an easy one. I was HOH. Alison was still here and none of my allies seemed to care. Boogie had promised me he would take her out if he won HOH and he may have done so with the coup had I insisted but I didnt think he should so she stayed. I still expected him to nominate her if he won the next HOH but it seems like my little plan to help him ingratiate himself with Alison worked too well..Now he tells me that she has moved from his number 1 target all the way into the final 4. He had her before Enzo and I was worried where it would end up so I nominated her as the target and the votes were easy. Although at one point Hayden PMed me thinking Amy was my target and I got back to him before he cast his vote.

Evcition -8 Boogie.

UGH. This was not an easy one. Enzo was HOH and it was FF week so I didnt have a lot of input here. We did discuss his noms but I did not make any suggestions and I had too much respect for him to try to influence his decision. It was obvious that Boogie was going to go after Enzo so I couldnt possibly justify trying to convince him not to nominate him. However he did tell me his final noms were going to be Hayden, Boogie which left some room to save Boogie should I decide to. However when I saw his final noms were Boogie /Amy it was a bit trickier. I still had this F2 with Amy from day 1 and although I made another one with Jessie right after the blow up Amy had been fairly loyal to me up until that point and she was certainly going to be less of a threat in the long run...plus there was the fact that Enzo and Jessie were leaning one way so I took the path of least resistance. This was even harder than Casey's evcition. I felt horrible afterward and swore I was done playing BB altogether. I know its a game but people get hurt and I was starting to feel like a real shit. This was not fun.

Eviction -9 Hayden

The worst week ever . I dreaded the day this would happen. I had a F3 with Amy and Jessie and I wanted to see it happen because we set out in week 1 to achieve it but I hadn't anticipated how close I would become to Enzo. Both Jessie and Amy were aware that I liked Enzo a lot and I told them that I would not nominate him nor would I ever vote him out. Jessie was very understanding about that and he completely understood that I would not vote Enzo out but he also recognized that Enzo was the biggest threat to his safety so he was counting on Amy to keep her word and force a tie. I knew Enzo was not a threat to me at this point but I wasnt altogether sure he didnt have a F2 with Hayden. Hayden had even sent me a PM telling me I was probably better off keeping Enzo since Hayden would not be around to protect me. I was fine with Enzo staying, in fact a huge part of me wanted him to but there was this long standing promise to both Amy and Jessie that I did not want to break. Enzo was the only person that could stop us from achieiving that goal. I knew he would take me and I would have loved a F2 with him but keeping him at that point was like saying " screw you " to Amy and Jessie who had been with me since week 1. I knew what Jessie wanted but he did not put any pressure on me. I voted to keep Enzo beleiving that Amy would vote him out and force a tie. I wasnt happy about it but I could not do the dirty on Jessie or Amy at that point..not even for Enzo. Sorry Pussycat. I told Enzo about my F2 with Amy first. He was not impressed with the fact that I would have her in the final 2 over him. Then he said something about " at least if it was Jessie I might understand " so for the first time in the game I told Enzo the whole situation with Jessie and Amy. He had the ammo if he wanted to stay badly enough..and he used it on Amy and stayed. First time in the game anyone lied to me about their vote....the irony was it was Amy that I was trying to protect when I decided to let Enzo leave to keep them safe. I didnt want to be selfish and keep someone that I really cared about in case it hurt their chances of making it. I am not sorry I told Enzo the truth. He deserved it and it helped me see which of my F2 deals was worth fightng for. I dont fault Amy for making what she thought was a smart move for herself but it backfired when Jessie won the POV ansaved himself. My big regret that week was that I didnt approach Jessie and ask him if we could keep Enzo or the F3 because he deserved it. Anyway Hayden left and my pussycat and I had another week in HOH so all is well.

Eviction 10 Enzo

I am HOH and I kept my word about never nominating Enzo even though he told me I could. I would have been fine with Amy leaving at that point and I told her so. In fact I told her I would NOT take her to the F2. I told her if Jessie left I would take Enzo and if Enzo left I would take Jessie. I did not get a vote nor did I try to influence Jessie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Sorry for taking so long . This was like a final HOH comp. I had to remember everything that happened but I hope it helps clear things up for people. I will admit that I had my hands in a lot of fires and as such I got burned a bit but I am still here. I did consult with every HOH and gather votes to help them achieve their goals but I certainly didnt pull everyone's strings. There were some top notch players in this game and I knew it would have been futile to try to force my agenda on them even if we were close. Thus Casey my friend you left way too soon. Boogie I apoligize for my duplicity and I have even more respect for you now than I did when we were alligned. Pussycat in another game, with another ally, it would have been you and me to the end.....even if I had to break my word to make it happen.

Holy Cow there is another one !!! Good thing its a quickie.

To both of you......If you didn't have each other, what would you do? I want you to each name one jury member that you think would have been the easiest to beat in the final 2, and the one jury member that you think would have been the hardest to beat in the final 2.

1.If I didnt have Jessie I would have alligned with you since I recognized your AIM and I always like to work with someone I have a history with..well a good history anyway but I have no doubt at all that Casey and Enzo would have ended up with us and we would have had a great alliance of 4 which is usually my magic number. I generally like to surround myself with strong players and stick with them because I have confidence in my game and I like to see the best people at the end.

2.I think Hayden may have been the easiest to beat at F2 because of his inactivity. He even told me that himself before he left.

3.Enzo would have been very hard to beat at F2. He has the total package, a strategic mind, great comp skills and a charismatic personality.


Thanks Boogie. I appreciate your questions and I really hope I answered it well enough. I am sorry to take so long but i am really sick and I can only do one before I run out of gas.

[Jessie Godderz]

Jessie.....you never talked to me in this game unless I spoke first. Basically, your social game sucked, but you still rocked the challenges. Tell me....why did you choose to not be social, even though you knew that your final 2 partner, Kristen, was the most social player of all? Didn't you think this was going to hurt you in the end?

I chose not to be social for that exact reason. I feel that Kristen was undoubtedly the most social player, but she always used any contacts she made, and she always had those relationships arranged in a way that they were never of danger to me, and they were always used to benefit me. Had I made further moves, people would have smelt me and Kristen wanting the exact same desires, and it would have seemed a lot less like Kristen just "bringing me in" or us allowing other people to "Bring me in", despite the fact I was always right there making the decisions as well, and discussing what was best, and who should go. I knew I would be able to have equal effect on the game, and be more protected from anything by influencing Kristen, rather than attempting to influence everyone Kristen was trying to. To me, it was better to be the power source, than the wire, and I knew if something ever happened to Kristen, I would realize exactly what needed to be done to make sure I wasn't the next from what she had gathered, but at the same time, more significantly, I knew I wouldn't be the first to get shocked, unless it was at the very last stage of the game. I worked with Kristen up until the very end, being very aware how amazing she'd look at the end, but wanting that competition at the end anyway. It certain will be up to everyone else who is controlling who, but I decided why play the same game as Kristen, and risk the same risks, and maybe pale in comparison to her. I played instead a very different game from Kristen, where I both took in and released information through her, and also allowed her to use her own amazing social skills, which she has great ones, and I can't take away from her. It was maybe a slightly boring game, but I think it was one that worked extremely well, gave me the exact result I wanted, and win or lose, I'm glad to be here, and proud of the game I played to get here, through Kristen, with Kristen, and beside Kristen.

To both of you......If you didn't have each other, what would you do? I want you to each name one jury member that you think would have been the easiest to beat in the final 2, and the one jury member that you think would have been the hardest to beat in the final 2.

I would have definitely made a more solid deal with you, first off. I would have also spent more time nurturing my own relationship with Enzo, rather than allowing Kristen to do that, since at that point I wouldn't have had someone else handling that. I would have probably still ended up having Amy as my quieter ally as well. Essentially, everyone would have moved up higher in my list, and how closely I worked with them, because I could truly have my options open, and would have also had to put myself in more danger, rather then allowing someone else to do that.

I think the juror that would have probably been the easiest to beat might have been Alison. I think that she has a very fiery personality, that people might have just not voted for her because she kept it real with them, and most likely, us getting to the end would have been a nice portion related to me winning some of those competitions, and having to socialize a bit more visibly than I did this time around, being aware that Kristen was going to put herself in the danger of being found out for mutiple-dealing.

I think the hardest person to beat would probably have been Enzo under the circumstances present. I think aside from us winning the similar amount of competition, I think it's hard to imagine he would have betrayed either Amy or Kristen, which was a main reason I didn't even want him to make the final 4. Had Enzo somehow really convinced ME to take him to the final 2, I truly would not have any arguments to counteract the amazing powers of persuasion that would have required. He played a real good game, and was a likable guy, so for all those reasons I think people might have credited him the win over me as well, since I didn't form as strong of bonds, and played a more subtle game.

[Mike Malin]

Thanks guys!! Great answers!!! Good Luck to both of you!!
