Now that the jury has finished asking questions, we turn it back to the final two. This is your final time to address the jury as a whole. Tie up any loose ends and prepare for the end.
Once both houseguests have posted their statements, the jury can vote. Votes are due by Friday morning. If they're not in, I may have to replace you.

I came into All Stars being the biggest target in the game. I was nominated Week 2, clearly everyone in Sex Pantherz besides Chelsia wanted me evicted that week. Having flash backs of URTV3 Week 1, I had to go to work early on once again. I tried to talk to people and they weren't having any of it, they saw me in season 3 and weren't going to make that mistake again by keeping me in the game. If I didn't win veto I was going to be voted out unanimously and that was that. I had to wake up and realize I needed to play a different game style from last season. Dan said it best referring to my Will style game play season 3 and now turning into more of a combination of Janelle performance in All Stars.
I win veto and save myself, then it was time to save Chelsia with the votes. Within a couple of hours everyone and their dog is going to evict Scott and save Chelsia, they even told Jen the hoh what they were doing which turned her to quit.
Now who had a tougher wall to climb to get to the finals? I had about zero alliances aside from Chels the next week, people I thought I was close with were complaining about my veto time and pissed off that I was safe. I had to spend a lot of time during the game to rebuild trust and gain more allies or I would have to win veto every week. I picked up a few allies with Daniele, April, and Scott. April and Scott tried to pull the famous backdoor on me, now they had to have believed me that I was with them 100% to keep me around in the house, because they completely went back on their original plan with Keesha, Dan, and Daniele.
I finally had a chance in this game because I got people to trust me again. Something the original Will had to do in All Stars as well. Scott, Nick, Jessica, Nakomis all trusted me, I believe, as they should have because I had their back for the most part. I thought I had April, Dan, Alison trusting me as well, but turns out they were the ones who had to leave because of that.
It wasn't the easiest getting those 3 out of the game, as it wasn't easy to get any of you out of the game. It all got done though despite Chelsia's "social game". Chelsia's bonds with people kept HER SAFE, I don't see it keeping me safe. She was safe coming into the game from day 1 as long as I was nominated with her and in the game. If I was nominated against her post veto or against anyone else in this game I was seeing the door not because of what she did in the game, but because of my season 3 reputation.
We did discuss almost everything in this game together and made final decisions together, but I was the one coming up with almost all of the strategizing and the boot order list. I know she hates this comparison, but she was wanting to know what happens next and I would tell her. The comparison I'm referring to is when Boogie would ask Will on whats next. If the original chilltown got to the final 2, who would have won? Chelsia or Will...
Thank You to everyone apart of URTV for another great season!

hey all! first I'd like to say thanks for a great season! I had my ups and downs with all of you and to be quite honest I've never been so happy yet so sad that something's ending lol.
I came into this game with one goal in mind, and that was to get myself and Will to the final 2. not just myself, but Will too. while even to me it seemed quite impossible, I worked my ass off to get BOTH of us to this point. I played an EXTREME social game. I aligned with nearly 60% of the people who played in this game. I worked on building relationships on a daily basis with nearly everyone in this game, and strengthened the alliances that I had with people to help furthur myself and Will. I used my social game to:
-get information when I needed it [for example getting the information from Alison in the week of the auction]
-get the votes to keep me everytime I was nominated [for instance week 2 with April, Dustin, and Daniele]
-save Will in the game [for example, me campaigning to and aligning with Scott in week 4]
-to have a general good position with most people in the game knowing that me and Will were the main targetted alliance from day one.
I do have alot of emotion, sometimes too much, and it was very hard for me, but I came into this game to play it 100%, holding nothing back, playing the fiercest, most hardcore, cutthroat game that I needed to in order to make this final 2 possible.
I may not have had thousands of competitions wins, but for the most part I didn't need them. I chose not to give my full effort in all but one competition [HOH week 6] until the merge because I relied on the strong social game I played to get us here. and in crunch time.. the last few weeks of the game... I came out with two HOHs to secure my safety, a veto win to secure the biggest threat go home, and an 8 hour endurance win to try to make sure Will and I were left in part 3.
I may not have always been the one main target but that was because I played my game so strong that I KEPT MYSELF from being a huge target. 2 of the 3 times I was nominated against Scott who nearly nobody saw as a threat, and the 3rd against Parker who had just came back into the game from being EVICTED. I wasn't up against strong threats... I didn't stay by default... I stayed because the game I played was strong enough to keep myself safe time and time again. if you think about it... THREE times the main target came off the block...and I, the "backup" target.. was STILL able to save myself, despite being a part of the most threatening alliance in the house. not to mention, the one time that the biggest threat in the house was sitting on the block post-veto, I was able to save him from a nearly unavoidable backdoor!
Will and I both had an extremely hard time in getting to this point. you could argue who had it tougher, but this isn't about that. I've said it a few times, and I'll say it one last time: I played quite possibly one of the strongest social games in URTV history and it may have been brutal and hardcore but I did it, and I balanced it with a few needed competitions and the strategizing between Will AND myself [that's right, it did go both ways]. I did everything it took, no matter what it was, to make this happen. I hope you've come to understand and appreciate my great game from my jury statements and answers and will reward me for my game by voting for me to win! thanks. :] good luck with your decision everyone, and good luck to you as well, Will!
